This happened to me. I only waited 5min though. I just unplugged my phone, removed the battery, replaced it, and while holding down both volume buttons and attached the cable.
[Captivate Android Development] Hydro360:
I know Im a loser

but i really want to be all oooh i have 2.2 and it was super easy but i quite honestly have no idea what im doing here. anyone wanna root my phone for me or walk me through it? someone should post a step by step youtube so us computer stupid people can be like you awesome people that know stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I've tried several times and this still isn't working. And now my phone is f**ked, I can't even boot it normally, so there's no going back. I get a phone/PC icon on the phone's screen when I try to boot normally.

I really want to get this Odin crap working. Any other ideas to get past the "File analysis" step?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Again this was a USB port issue. Apparently my front ports are messed up. The back ports worked perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] moverton:
If you are seeing no progress on the phone, your download may be corrupted. Check the file size and make sure it is 309,072,784 bytes in size. If it is, you can do the following steps:

Power off phone

Remove battery, SIM and SD Card (if you have one)

Start program on computer

Plug USB cable into computer

With thumb, hold both volume up and volume down buttons (it can be done, you will feel them both go down)

Plug USB cable into phone (it will come on automagicaly)

Release Vol up and Vol down

Press the START button in the program

This will give some info in the program, wait

After one minute (sometimes 5 mins), if there is no progress bar on your phone, it's not going to work.

Close program, double check file size, pull battery and start again

If it does have a progress bar, phone will reboot itself, run the update and reboot again. After this you should be running Froyo.

External SDCard PROBLEMS

I have a problem, my phone does not see the external SD. The size and all shows up, Even Music seeks the music on the external SD but I can't use ASTRO manager on the external sdcard
[Captivate Android Development] kaczu:
For those of you who are experiencing extreme lag (as in worse than JH7 OTA) make sure you do a Master Clear or format your SD within settings before / after flashing. I was experiencing extreme lag that really had me worried. After doing a Master Clear the performance is pretty good and is at least comparable to the previous build.
[Captivate Android Development] wkai2000:
any reason why my comp would tell me it's not a valid win32 application?
[Captivate Android Development] gtg465x:
The worst lag is in the browser... so st st st stuttery when scrolling on sites like engadget and pocketnow, even with OCLF and plug-ins disabled. I think there's a memory leak in the browser or something. At least one time after stuttering through a few sites I noticed that LauncherPro had to reload when going back to the homescreen, presumably because it got removed from memory, even though hardly anything else was running besides the browser.
[Captivate Android Development] Dieabolical:
I must of messed up somewhere. I am getting a black screen with a phone and computer icon. In between those is an exclamation point. How do I make that go away?

Plug it in and hold vol+ and vol- and power like you're trying to go into download mode, but dont let go of power until it resets a second time.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Wanted to post my experience with 2.2 so far. I have been away for about 6 hrs so this all may have been (Im sure has been!) covered. This is the exact situation I went with android for....this community rocks.

1) GPS is no better. I had AH moments just like I did with JH7 but in driving test, it is no better with the stock settings. It remains to be seen if using the standard modified settings will provide a solid and steady GPS experience. I will say with the standard supl.google.com 7276, etc that it is better but as I stated not perfect. It is usable though.

2) No lockups, no FC's since first boot

3) Mobile AP...I did read a few pages and I read that it didnt work. I experienced that initally but it took disconnecting and connecting a few times for it to work. I am not sure if this is a dhcp server issue or what it was but it did work...just not solid. Will test tomorrow to a greater degree. This is a major point for me, I want tethering and I want in with USB and without. If anyone has a fix/workaround for the delay on MobileAP I would love to hear it. I had the exact same delay in two boots of both the phone and PC but after a few minutes it worked both times.

4) Lag....it is not in the ballpark of cognition from my experience but compared to 2.1 JH7 it is faster, but not by a great degree. I will say that I have not experienced great slowness in general though even on 2.1 with JC6 (I think is what the old version was) as some have listed. It has been very usable, just not a WOW with speed.

5) Market has been faster, no complaints.

Overall, my experience has been very positive. It is as close to what I want as I have came, outside of Cognition and it has been solid and taken no real effort.

Tomorrow I will put it to more of a test after less adult beverages.....MUCH thanks to DG, you are fantastic man and adult beverages are coming your way my man.

Initial Thoughts

Got Froyo installed.

Naturally, the first thing I checked was GPS.

Long story short, it still blows, almost to the point of being unuseable. I never got the OTA update to work, so dont know how it is supposed to look when working correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] abezapata:
hey guys all i want to mention is after updating to froyo my gps is actually usable. After updating to cognition from Sre 1.1 my GPS went to the **** and would never get a lock, but now I am get a lock within 10 seconds and it is pretty accurate. I just wanted to let people know so they can give this update a try if they already have not to see if it fixes their gps issues. I know it varies from captivate to captivate so give it a try.
[Captivate Android Development] trevorgarmont:
Thank you all,

Worked just fine. took about 4 min, updated to Froyo now.

Bone stock phone with firmware up to date.
[Captivate Android Development] coldbeverage:
Is anyone having trouble playing files from media hub? Also, I thought there was supposed to be a program manager widget with froyo. Anyone know?
[Captivate Android Development] jfgamsby:
GPS is now better. I tried all of the fixes, and to me JM5 with lagfix was the best. Went to Cog 2.2(fast) with the jupiter gps, but now am running JI6 and so far I like it. It's a bit laggy but acceptable.
[Captivate Android Development] kinggheedora:
Second this (and thanks to kaczu for posting this).

I had major lag after applying this JI6 update. After doing Master Clear the lag was reduced drastically. I was thinking about doing a lag fix but now I may not have to.
[Captivate Android Development] kinggheedora:
Try Master Clear to resolve the lag. This worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] r.iqbal87:
Black Screen wont start!!

So I flashed over the froyo rom with the one-click, and it all seemed to flash over ok. Now on reboot, the phone passes the Galaxy s animation and goes to a blank screen and stays there.

The phone vibrates as if keys are being pressed, but there are no images on the screen.

I have already, wiped all data from internal sd and then retried, still didnt work.

Flashed to stock, then flashed froyo, same issue.

Flashed stock, then installed cognition, disabled vodoo, then flashed froyo, still didnt work.

What gives?

Can anyone chime in and help me out? Ive already lost all my phones data (my own fault). why wont this work?
[Captivate Android Development] :
How do I root v2.2?
[Captivate Android Development] r.iqbal87:
I installed the new cognition beta, and it started but i was unable to install any apps. it would just download and then when trying to install, virate a few times, and the screen would reset, without installing the app. I'm really having some issues. PLEASE HELP!
[Captivate Android Development] pingpongboss:
Samsung Captivate with Froyo (Android 2.2)
[Captivate Android Development] bedrmninja:
So if i flash to 2.2 would all my data be wiped? like apps, contacts, network settings etc?

thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] tfrog:
As for the "Master Clear" you referred to, is it the "Factory data reset" in Settings -> Privacy? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] votum:
Nope, open the 1 click downloader and the right hand button says master clear. I do not know if you are supposed to be in DL mode to use it, I thought I remembered somewhere you should have the phone on and turn debugging on. It worked for me, first try, and it wipes your internal SD completely.

However, and I haven't had anyone else confirm this for me, every time I flash with a 1 click deal, I have to do it 3-5 times before it actually works. Always freezes.
[Captivate Android Development] amir_rafie:
hi ,

could anybody take a benchmark with quadrant & linpack and tell me the results? caue I interested to know if they eventually active the JIT Compiler or not ...

Many thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] pingpongboss:
quadrant 971. quite low

linpack 14.1 (edit: I should mention that the first time I ran Linpack, it scored like 2.5 MFLOPS. On every subsequent run it's at 14.1 Don't know if that says anything useful)
[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
im running cognition 2.2 which uses this as a base and i ran quadrant advanced and the CPU score was the pretty much the same as when i was running eclair.

Froyo Error for reinstall packages

delete double post.
[Captivate Android Development] tikidroid:
With the new froyo rom and recovery 3e, only Samsung signed packages (update.zip) can be installed. I suspect that is the issue.

Maybe you could try flashing a 2.1 kernel with recovery 2. Run reinstall packages from recovery and see if that gets you into clockwork. Make sure the clockwork update.zip is already on the root of your sdcard.

OK question about the RAM. I am seeing everyone post about Quadrant only showing 311MB of RAM after Froyo.

My captivate is 100% stock, Quadrant is showing 333336kB which equals out to 325.5234375 MB. So are people seeing less after loading the Froyo Rom?

Edit: PS - I read through every post in this thread. Oh and thank you to everyone here, I am very tempted to load Froyo after the many helpful posts.
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
Am I the only one that finds it harder to slide the lock screen top/bottom after Froyo? It is much easier to slide from left/right for me now...never had this problem before. I know it's a small stupid thing...but just wondering if anyone else noticed it.
[Captivate Android Development] akira777:
Hulu video still doesn't work with Froyo and the new flash installed?
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
That video was great. I have not been able to keep up with this tread for about 24 hours so I am trying to catch up. I can not belive how big this tread has gotten.

I have played a lot witht he GPS as I been driving around and a passanger a for about 3 hours. I am using the Navigator App.

It gets a lock very quick now.

It keeping a GPS lock is more fussy. I have a cubby hole in front of my stick that I normaly keep my phone at. My epix once I got a lock I could put it there and it would keep it. Even with 2.1 it would for the most part keep a lock. With 2.1 I noticed I would be about 100 yards out of a intersection and the phone would show I am just driving through it.

2.2 my phone would loose the GPS lock a lot more more but it would be just about dead on for where I was. The only time it would get confused it when I would go off the path from where the diretions where telling to to go. So I put the phone on the dash board and riged it to stand up. Then the GPS on the phone was as good as the GPS that is build into my car nav system.

When I was with my Fiance and she was driving I played with the GPS a lot more. As long as I kept the phone close to a window it was great. I think it only went off to a frontage road once. It lost the GPS signal when I had the phone in the middle of the car and no close window.

So it seems with the new build it is more accurate for your location. But it is more sensative keeping that good GPS lock.

BTW can anyone do a video like this about the review on how to Root this phone? I want to root this phone but the instructions are writen for someone more experanced with the phone. I just need some help getting started. If someone has done a nice DIY and I missed it in all these posts can you please post the link?

Thanks again
[Captivate Android Development] lkakarotto:
:( doesn't work for me, the phone shows a batt charging like the iPhone one, and Odin never recognizes the phone.

Maybe I have the wrong drivers? ANyone care to share a link to x64 drivers? I installed the ones that are listed in the PDF guide for Captivate but they don't seem to work.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
I had to download Kies and install it to get the drivers for my phone. I have Vista 64bit. I could not get the drivers linked in the PDF to work either. After I installed Kies all the drivers loaded for my phone and I was set. :)

NOOB question re sideloading

I have rooted my Captivate running 2.1.1. If I install the 2.2 OS, what else do I need to do so I can sideload other apps? I assume at minimum I have to root after installing 2.2. I need to use an email program that is not in the Apps Market.

I am a bit confused on whether there is a difference between rooting the phone and enabling sideloading. If the phone is rooted does it automatically allow sideloading or is another step required?

Thanks for the clarification.

Just downloaded this rom.

It seems Universal Androot doesn't support the I9000 so it also doesn't support the Captivate.

I don't know If I will be able to wait until a root procedure becomes avalaible :P.
