[Captivate General] artinz:
Hi All,

I have some interesting problems that I've been searching through numerous threads to solve with no success.

So first of all, I had completely bricked my captivate and managed to get a new captivate from rogers as a replacement. It came stock, completely clean with 2.1. After learning about the official/unofficial (depending who you talk to) release of 2.2 Froyo, I decided to try the upgrade. Here's all the steps I followed (in as much details as I can remember) with the post upgrade issues:

1. Connected my new Stock 2.1 Captivate to Kies. No Sim in the phone. No problems with detection. Everything was smooth.

2. Tried the firmware upgrade and it failed.

3. Rebooted phone, reconnected to Kies, it said that it required a "Firmware Recovery". The steps instructed to put it in download mode which I did.

4. Attempted the upgrade and failed again and "soft" bricked the phone (if that's the right term). When I rebooted, it was stuck on the I896 screen.

5. I didn't want to reflash back to an ATT 2.1 Stock Rom because I don't want the ATT logo, so I tried looking for alternatives.

6. I found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905042 and after reading through it, thought it would be pretty safe to try.

7. I tried the upgrade through Odin3 v1.7. With the modem file as well. Went perfectly smooth with no issues.

8. Phone rebooted into 2.2 and everything was fine.

9. I go on Wifi, Swype was working fine, it was a little laggy. I tried to use the Market and needed to login with google account which I did, everything was great. I got quadrant. I tested and got about 800.

10. so I decided to apply the OCLF.When I installed the .apk using the AndroidCentral Sideloader Wonder Machine app, launched and tried to apply lagfix, everything was unavailable and it said the phone needs to be rooted.

(Keep in mind this was ALL done while on Wifi ONLY).

11. I then tried using this file root-update.zip (as attached in my thread) which I had used to root my captivate on 2.1 by renaming to update.zip and then executing it through the recovery menu.

11. That failed and the result was another "soft" brick.

12. So I reflashed with Odin again to "stock" 2.2 and everything was fine, EXCEPT, now my boot-up Screen sequence is messed up. The order on powerup is I896 logo, Rogers white screen with dots logo with sound from the Galaxy S logo playing and then immediately switch to the Galaxy S logo for about 10 seconds then goes into the phone. This is no big deal but not sure if anything else is screwed up. It would be good if there was an easy fix to put it back to original sequence: I896 -> Galaxy S logo with Sound -> Rogers Logo with red dots.

13. I got a reply from a thread about the Super One Click Root for rooting which I applied and it worked perfectly.

14. I reinstalled the OCLF .apk file and applied the lagfix with the ext2 tools installed, ran quandrant and got about 1800 or so using a WIFI connection.

15. Anyway, after that I decided to actually try everything with my SIM. So I turned the phone off, put SIM in and booted up again. ALL was good.

16. Then I went to add an APN for Fido (since I'm with Fido) using this settings:

Name: fido

* APN:wap.fido.ca

* Proxy: 205.151.011.011

* Port: <Not Set>

* Username: fido

* Password: fido

* Server: <Not Set>

* MMSC:mms.fido.ca

* MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13

* MMS Port: 80

* MCC: 302 (retrieved from SIM)

* MNC: 370 (retrieved from SIM)

* Authentication type: none

* APN type: internet + mms

Again, I've used these settings with my old captivate and it was perfect.

17. After inputting everything, I went to try and download a few maps from Market and it wouldn't connect. I tried to use the browser and texting and it worked fine, no problems, but I couldn't add any other email accounts.

18. I researched a bit and found all sorts of suggestions about Factory Reset, User Data and Cache deleting and then trying to add your google account through youtube, etc. You name it, I've tried it with no success.

So where I stand now. I have a working 2.2 Froyo stock, root with lagfix applied, Wifi working, GPS NOT working, I cannot connect to Market because I can't create an account on NON-Wifi, and when I try to create a google account, it sits in the setup screen for a couple of minutes then says "Cannot establish a reliable data connection to server". The Youtube widget doesn't work either and neither does the weather widget, but yet I have internet and text working perfectly. I have background data enabled, and once again, I've tried everything that I have found on this issue with no success.

I even checked the xda thread about this issue as it was marked as "solved" but didn't find an actual solution to it.

There really is no point in staying on 2.2 if I can only use Market and widgets on Wifi, so I'm hoping someone can help with this with an actual solution(s) and if not, if someone can provide a WORKING Stock Rogers (only) Odin Flashable 2.1, I'd be happy to flash back to that to see if it resolves the problem as I haven't found one that is working (I'm sure I missed it somewhere in the threads).

Thank you in advance.

Edit: I'm an idiot. *smacks head*. First off, I flashed back to a stock 2.1 that I actually did have and that fixed the boot sequence. Second, I had the wrongs settings. Anyway, I guess this thread can be for anyone that happens to go through this (although I doubt it). Either way, I have a PERFECT working 2.2 with the exception of GPS. Still trying to fix that one.
