Woo!

Sorry about the non-linked links, I am a new user so I can't make real links yet :( Copy/paste FTW!

I just did the 2.2 upgrade last night, and I thought I'd share my experience!

First, it's fantastic. The odin one-click works great, as long as you do the proper steps, and I downloaded the stock 2.1 odin one-click to flash that first, then 2.2 after just to be sure.

After 2.2 was installed, I followed the steps in this thread: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797397, (don't do the kernel swap, just do everything after "but in the meantime....") that allowed me to root the device, turn on non-market apps, and change my startup noise to the standard Galaxy sound, getting rid of the annoying "ATT BARS WOOOOOSH" noise, so now I only have my Galaxy S animation and noise (steps here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=736412&page=3 for a walkthrough and PowerOn.wav download). An aside on this, if you get an error pushing the PowerOn.wav to your /system/etc directory, go into adb shell, su, and chmod 777 /system/etc, then you'll have rw permissions and be able to push the file. I'm not sure if the 2.2 build came without the bars animation, because I had done that hack before updating to froyo. It also gave the steps required to delete the AT&T bloatware from the command line directly.

Next, I downloaded OCLF (one click lag fix) from the market, installed it, and did the ext2 and Lagfix. Worked like a charm, no errors.

Now, I know that it's been said that the Quadrant and Linpack scores don't mean much, but I'll post mine here for comparison.

2.1 w/OCLF - Quadrant: 2170, Linpack: 7.something

2.2 w/OCLF - Quadrant: 1828, Linpack: 14.049 (see images)

I'm pretty happy so far. I don't really know why quad went down, but you definitely don't feel any lack of speed. The system feels "snappier" and it sure boots *a lot* faster. All the 2.2 updates are great as well, I enjoy the color icons, the new gmail, everything. Oh, for those of you guys who said you couldn't find gmail in the app store - in 2.2 a lot of app updates are automatic, I know the first time I went into the store after turning it on I noticed that it was downloading maps and gmail updates, even before I had a chance to do anything. So you probably just didn't notice that the phone already grabbed it. Another little weird thing is that the lock screen needs a much bigger swipe to unlock now. You have to grab very near the top of the screen and drag all the way to almost the bottom or it just bounces back. I have better luck going bottom to top now. It's fun trying to fight my muscle memory.

Anyways, your mileage may vary, but I had a lot of luck with this update. Thanks so much to everybody who made it possible!

This is how you know that JI7 is not the official build. AT&T uses that swoosh bars animation on every single phone it sells, not just android phones. It is not included in this ROM. AT&T would never release it as is without the swoosh.

It might be a release candidate or a late beta build, but it is not the final build.

No Hulu does not work. They (Hulu) block most non-desktop browsers from accessing their content.

If you find a browser that lets you change its user agent then it might work then. Not sure if Android broswer lets you change that.

Unfroyoable?!

okay, saw this topic last night, got OCLF, rooted, then attempted to do this "update" with the ODIN file in first post. I get nothing at all... i have rooted and un rooted my phone more times then i can remember now. I followed all the steps in all the guides in this topic (i read the WHOLE THING).

The farthest i have gotten in the Process is once in ODIN i am able to see the phone and this;

<ID:0/009> Added!!

<ID:0/009> Odin v.3 engine (ID:9)..

<ID:0/009> File analysis..

is what i see once i hit Start, it just hangs up on the File Analysis every time...

WTF am i doing wrong????
[Captivate Android Development] Xeaa:
I downloaded Dolphin Browser HD, which does allow you to change your browser agent to desktop, but even doing that I still couldn't get hulu to work (Unfortunately, your device is not supported by Hulu)...
[Captivate Android Development] tikidroid:
You don't need a OCLF or root to install this rom. Did you install OCLF? Its going to cause issues. First uninstall OCLF, flash then apply a supported lag fix after flashing.

If it continues to fail, my advice is that you uninstall OCLF, flash back to a stock JF6 or JH7 and then try again.

Make sure you backup the things you need.
[Captivate Android Development] gudaman:
I would be able to perform the uninstall right from the app management menu under settings right or do i need to usb connect and file explore/erase some files?
[Captivate Android Development] DeerChaser:
After trying for 2 days, I give up. Odin sees nothing, followed all the steps to the "T". Windows shows unknown device, USB drivers installed for 64bit. The only way Odin will see the phone is with it powered on. Any Ideas?

Serious USB issue with I89UCJI6

I have the same problem and with the phone off i do exactly what you say but i still get the AT&T World Phone boot screen logo instead of the galaxy s logo.

Also i have some other problems like:

the return toch button goes every time to the home menu the midle home button doesn't work at all, i have no sound when i start up the phone, there are many app installed and they start with the name AT&T.

I also tired to change the usb setting and the problem is still the same, when i connect the usb the screen turns black and i can't open the phone with the power button but when i plug out the usb from the phone the phone starts again, it is like a restart.

Please help me if you can cause i bought the phone 2 days ago and now i don't have one (usable).
[Captivate Android Development] JRd1st:
Did you try it on a different USB port? One that's part of your motherboard?
[Captivate Android Development] DeerChaser:
Yep tried them all plus two other pcs.
[Captivate Android Development] JRd1st:
You got your 64 bit drivers from here, right? - http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml

BTW, this is probably the wrong forum section for this. Next time use the Q&A section, not Development.
[Captivate Android Development] MrByte:
If you're getting the AT&T World Phone boot screen, that means you are turning the phone on.....

With the USB cable disconnected, open the Once click app on your PC.

With the Phone (completely) OFF, press and hold the UP and DOWN volume keys. With your phone still OFF (and both volume keys pressed) plug in the Cable on the phone. The phone should immediately go into download mode and the app on your PC should state it connected.

I had the exact same problem as you. I was turning on the phone, and evidently it does not state to do that in the instructions, for a reason.

I am not sure if the USB setting on the Phone needs to be on Debug or not, but I had it enabled.
[Captivate Android Development] gudaman:
would it be possible for anyone who has flashed this update successfully to re-flash in a video with a visual step by step?

i must be mentally challenged because i am just not getting this at all, again, read the topic done the step by steps and now after getting the help before uninstalled the app that is supposed to be causing the problem (unless i need to usb explore and erase something not shown on the phone).

I did manage to get a red FAIL to appear in the box once but it hasn't happened and i don't know what the difference was to make it happen.

I'm glad to know there are knowledgeable people like y'all to figure out this stuff in the first stuff!

EDIT: thanks for that last post, i didnt see it till after i wrote this out. it might be useful to do something like that though.

In debugging or out, all I get is the battery screen. If I power the phone win 7 shows both int and ext cards. Drivers are good. Both vol buttons press, plug in usb I get the little "wait" icon the the battery screen pops up.
[Captivate Android Development] JRd1st:
Just to be sure; you press both volume buttons in and HOLD them that way while you plug your USB cable in and wait till you go into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] DeerChaser:
Thats what im doing, no DL mode. USB device unknown report from device manager then it goes away. All I see is the battery is charging.
[Captivate Android Development] Bjd223:
True, but they do not always run at that speed. They only hit 1 GHz under heavy load.

I am having an issue when forwarding emails with an exchange account. The reply and forward email goes through but amy commenta i add disapear when sent.
[Captivate Android Development] shamelin73:
sorry but how do you do this. I have searched but didnt find a way to do this.
[Captivate Android Development] SeriousFrank:
Preqs. Before you try anything.

So before you go off to download Odin just make sure you have the following things installed on your PC; which are from Samsung.

1. Be sure to download the Samsung Captivate PC drivers from the Samsung Site

The file/folder that you can either get from the site or just Google its name is called "SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2" Installing the drivers shouldnt be too difficult.

2. If at anytime you have ever seen "Found New Hardware Gaget Serial" ect... Then you should probally get "Samsung PC Studio" , to find it all you gotta do is google it. Easy stuff just install it make sure its installing the drivers that come with it. The progam itself is useful-kinda... I only used it for the drivers.

How these steps help? They should help you with the download process with Odin, I noticed my PC did not recognize my phone once it was in DL mode. I kept getting that Gaget serial driver thing. But that was resolved with Samsung PC Studio 3. Once I did that I re applied all the steps needed to Flash my phone and Odin as well as the PC noticed my phone and then Odin did its thing. In short no more USB juggling. I hope this works for you new guys cause I am new myself, but I am great with when using google to find solutions. :-)

- On a side note, I find it really irritating when I read posts which give half butt comments/solutions.
[Captivate Android Development] DeerChaser:
Drivers are good. List I897 under my computer when the phone is powered up. Download mode is not happening. Just the battery screen. I

m running the lastest firmware thru Kies. Vol up/down isnt working, holding them until the screen times out, nothing.

I build/repair PCs on the side, so I know my way around but this has me stumped.

Vol up and down buttons work when powered up. Tried all usb ports on 3 PCs, same results, battery charge screen.
[Captivate Android Development] nathank122004:
Are there any legal issues to flashing this unofficial update?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
Yes. Samsung will come and take your first born. Its in the contract you agree to upon first boot.

It's only illegal in 19 states.
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
They took my first born last night... I told them they could have my second if they fix the GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] ewinter:
Do you have the android SDK installed?

in a command prompt navigate to your SDK tools folder (mine is C:\sdk\tools)

then plug in your phone if you say your drivers are good you should be able to run:

>adb reboot download

I'm not sure if you have to have your phone settings set to debug mode or not but mine was. it restarted straight into download mode.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: I also remember reading people having troubles when kies was running in the background. try to close it OR restart your computer with kies set to not run when windows starts.

also remember to have the odin one click installer running before you initiate the reboot into download mode (I think its odin first then reboot). Good Luck.
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
yeah, i see this too. Looks like a show stopper for me. Back to 2.1 :(
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
So use Dolphin HD and change the client type under the settings menu to Desktop.
[Captivate Android Development] jblack627:
When I try to enter download mode, I get the battery charging logo...what can I do?
[Captivate Android Development] SeriousFrank:
Try This.

No sir. You are not doing the function in the correct order.

Now, if the phone is on just simply power it down normally, after that make sure that you remove the sim card. Now you gonna plug up the usb cord to the PC and start odin. So while phone is off just press and hold the sound buttons (both of them) then plug the usb into the phone and it should work.
[Captivate Android Development] ewinter:
3 posts up I offer an alternative way to enter download mode. I hope this helps.

If you don't have the sdk or want to install it the way I get into download mode is to:

1. turn off my phone (sometimes pull battery but its usually not necessary)

2. obviously put battery back in but LEAVE PHONE OFF and UNPLUGGED

3. plug my USB cable into my computer with the other side NOT connected to my phone

4. RUN the ODIN one click installer

5. HOLD the volume UP and volume DOWN buttons down

6. plug the USB cable into my phone

7. hold the power buttons until it boots into download mode ( never have to press the power button )

8. click "Start" on ODIN if download mode starts.

otherwise read my post 3 posts before yours. Good Luck.
[Captivate Android Development] DeerChaser:
OK, got to download mode, odin sees 0:[comm12].

Says file analysis for the last 6 minutes

[Captivate Android Development] reno55:
Hoping someone can help me. I tryed flashing this and I seem to get stuck at :

Set PIT Fille..

DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET

I let the phone sit for awhile before doing this and it didnt seem to work. So I then flashed to stock using the one click odin and it worked however as odin was flashing (using the stock one click) it read out what it was doing in the odin ui on my pc. Wondering why the flash to JI6 isnt doing the same thing and its just sitting at DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET instead of showing the progress bar.

any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] DeerChaser:
Thanks. The volume buttons have no effect on my phone. Both up/down plug in usb=nothing but battery screen. Vol down/power=boots up to normal. Now sdk doesnt see it. Thanks for all your help but I quit. This is my third captivate in 2 weeks.

It's working great. I like all the new features! The GPS is locking faster than before but the accuracy still sucks! There's a little lag but overall it's stable enough to get a good experience for day to day usage!

Hi,

After upgrading to Android 2.2 my GPS doesn't work at all, it keeps "Searching for a GPS" however its turned on & all applications use GPS is working however no "Direction" , any help please?
[Captivate Android Development] pilot_xphile:
Thank you. It worked like a charm!!!;);)
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Others can chime in on this, my GPS was great the first day after Froyo 2.2 stock (I thought) then sucked. I changed my GPS.conf file using Root Explorer to the following settings:

NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=north-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

I then set the following

MSbased

supl.google.com

7276

SUPL off

accuracy 100

Mine works fairly well. I do not know now much of this or which of these are making the biggest difference. There could be other changes that will impact as well. I also found this as a potential list of servers for the gps.conf file although I have not tried it yet and you may want to do some more reading on these.

server 0.us.pool.ntp.org

server 1.us.pool.ntp.org

server 2.us.pool.ntp.org

server 3.us.pool.ntp.org
[Captivate Android Development] BFMoon:
for those having issues (deerchaser?)

I had to receive an OTA delivery of JH7, which"fixes" the gps, but it also fixes the buttons to get to download mode. I tried for 3-4 HOURS last night trying EVERYTHING to get to download mode. I finally searched the phone and found update software after reading a 20 page thread about the recovery mode not working. They were saying JH7 fixed the button issue.

1) update to JH7

2) turn off phone

3) start odin (right click and run as admin for vista or win7 folks IMPORTANT!!)

4) press volume buttons down

5) plug in usb (got to download mode for the first time!!!)

6) wait for odin to see the phone (it took a min or two)

7) Click start

8) wait for odin to finish its thing

9) phone rebooted

10) phone installed update

11) phone rebooted again

12) I was running FROYO!!!!

I just got my first android (the captivate) tuesday, I consider my self pretty tech savvy, I could jailbreak my iphone, and hack my tilt, and blackjack II with no problems. I was getting pretty frustrated over this and it turns out it wasn't my fault. Make sure you get the JH7 update that fixed the buttons...

I hope this helps someone!
[Captivate Android Development] grave101:
So if I flash to 2.2 with odin, will this erase my phone data and apps? Just like Odin3?
[Captivate Android Development] DeerChaser:
Power buttons? Thanks for the info! I have the JH7 from Kies..
[Captivate Android Development] BFMoon:
ack! I meant volume buttons....

I did the OTA for JH7 not sure if that will make a difference....
[Captivate Android Development] DeerChaser:
Must be something with my JH7, I cannot get to download mode regardless of what I do. I will try to run Odin as admin but everything else you posted I have done. I did the JH7 update thru Kires and not OTA from ATT.
[Captivate Android Development] DeerChaser:
Well that didn't work. Ran Odin as admin, batt out, sim out, batt in, up/down volume pressed, usb pluged in, battery charge screen:( Held buttons until screen timed out. Only thing I can think of is that Kies JH7 is different than OTA JH7 from ATT. Thanks anyways Moon!!
[Captivate Android Development] pilot_xphile:
rotflmfao:d
[Captivate Android Development] BFMoon:
NP! I wonder if there is a way to downgrade to before JH7 and then do the upgrade over... but that might require the download mode.... there is a thread where many phones made on certain dates could not get into recovery or download modes... it sucked... I thought something was wrong with me lol....

Have you looked under settings and about phone to check to make sure the update from Kies took properly?

Right under about is the software update I used to get the OTA
[Captivate Android Development] DeerChaser:
Firmware 2.1 update1

It comes up with 'not supported for your platform' with plugin set to 'always on', but blank 'on demand'. I assume Hulu knows you're using a mobile version of Flash.

I could go for a forth exchange or just wait for ATT. If this one starts shutting down like the others then it's gone...
[Captivate Android Development] :
nice!!! my captivate running froyo, rooted, bloat removed, market unrestricted, and lag fixed :) :) :)

no problems so far. one thing i noticed and didnt see anyone comment on is the browser scrolling is smoother when initially touching the screen. it used to snap after the input delay to the correct position but now it moves smooth like it should. tough to describe but drove me nuts before!
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I wanted to say Thanks to DG and all. This was a HARD to read with so many post and getting lost. I wanted to update the issues I had earlier were with the Samsung drivers that Windows XP was using. I could not get the drivers to install/be used by XP so I would be stuck at the Downloading Screen. Once I put teh samsung drivers into a POS Vista then follow the directions as listed previously I was able to finally get froyo working great. NO complaints from this newb. I just wanted to share for all the others that had the same issues with their PCs and not getting the DOWNLOADING to work. IF you see your phone showing up as GADGET on the bottom right of your PC the drivers are not using the samsung drivers. get that fixed and your off and running. I am loving it so far, all seems to be working great. Now I am thinking about the task of rooting it with the other post I have been reading. I HATE the ATT bloat crap. Thanks again...

Captivate Froyo 2.2 WooHoo
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Downloaded Froyo, loving it.

Question though, how do I flash back to stock. I have a few apps that are no longer accessible from the market so I was hoping to flash back to save them. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Joe1981AL:
This seems to work on most, I'm running Kies updated JH7 right now, and well when my phone was bricked before this is only way I got into download mode..

Remove battery...

Install battery... (do not touch power key)

Hold vol up & vol down...

Plug in USB Cable (while still holding vol keys)

The download mode will show up in a few seconds, just remember not to touch the power key.
