[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
If Samsung can get an update out to the Canadian Captivate, they can get one out to us. The hardware is 99.9 percent the same so they should be able to take what they released for the Rogers version and release it for us with minimal changes. Our devs here were able to do it in a few days with no source code for drivers, etc.

The whole reason this update is such bad business is that when most of us bought our phones in July/Aug, an update to Froyo was promised by September. We are all pretty serious about our phones and pretty knowledgable about whats out there (hence the reason we are on XDA in the first place). If we knew the Froyo update was going to take this long, I suspect most of us would not have bought the Captivate. We were willing to buy an old version of Android with the understanding that it would be up to date in short order. They are now 5 months late on their initial promise and counting. 5 months is a very long time on a phone who's useful livespan is about 20 months. I can't remember the last time a company douched their customers like this.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
There is no official word on this. If you believe what sales guy told you, I have a bridge to sell :) This is lesson #1.

Lesson #2, never buy a Samsung product for what it could be in the future. But rather for what it is when you bought it. Samsung ALWAYS late on their updates on all products they sell.
[Captivate General] trekie86:
Check out Firefly by Adam and crew. Its based on the Rogers Froyo code.

im tired of waiting im buying an atrix and someone else can deal with the captivate when I sell it
[Captivate General] MIAPLAYA:
Right give AT&T more of your money. That'll show em. You think you're ever going to get an update for that phone either. I know exactly how you feel but don't you think that's exactly what AT&T wants? Hold off the update for so long that people buy a new phone and their revenues increase without them having to spend a dime. I'm not giving AT&T one more penny that I'm not contractually obligated to provide. Between the utter disregard for customers who ALREADY spent good money there (Captivate, Aria, etc) like me and the piss poor customer service I've had with both this phone and my Dell (with an AT&T WWAN Card) they've lost a customer for good. I'm canceling my home Uverse service, cell lines, and business lines the day my personal cell contract ends.
[Captivate General] Reefermattness:
Funny how all the people on XDA that are already running froyo are the ones complaining about not having froyo the most.

You guys are a bunch of whiners, the hardware is still top of the line. Samsung has NEVER been known for their software dept. Even if froyo had been released I know 99% of you would not be running stock, and would be on a custom ROM with a custom kernel. Sure, the source would be nice to have, but the XDA devs have gone above and beyond what Samsung is going to have when they release it for us.

Less QQ, more Pew-Pew
[Captivate General] FishDoc:
Who cares if they never push FroYo?

Like most of you I've been waiting for the upgrade and reading everything available on the forum. However, I just got tired of waiting and decided to take the plunge. Using the Bay_Wolf program even a purely green nooby can flash like a pro. I was totally amazed at what a difference it's made. Now the problem is deciding whether I like Andromeda or Serendipity for my "permanent" system. I would bet that when Foyo is finally released that it won't come close to matching up with either of these really great Roms. So, for those of you waiting-----wait no more.

ok i got a brand new epic and with my old epic i was on midnight rom v3.0. I put the same sd card into the new epic and i odined to dk28 and ran the 1click root with cwm3. i turned the phone off and rebooted into cwm3 and it turned it over to ext4. after that i went to restore the midnight rom 3.0 that i had saved and now i get stuck at the sammy screen... What did i do wrong? PLEASE HELP ME!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
Odin back to stock and do a clean install i believe there is problems when restoring in midnight 3
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punwik:
ok so how do i go about doing a totally fresh install? will you give me steps PLEEEEAAASSSSSEEEE? Cause i tried doing that. this is what i tried first. I odined into dk28 and then i did one click root with cwm3 and the phone booted up. Then i 3 fingure salute into cwm3 and it automaticaly tried to convert it to ext4. everything went fine but the sd-ext that failed. then when i tried to reboot from there it got stuck.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punwik:
should i partition the sd card? and its been a while since i first went to ext4 from stock dk28 and i cant exactly remember the whole process. LOL, if you could give me step by step from stock dk28 to midnight rom v3.0 i would be so releived cause right now the stock is crap...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
Batt pull

download mode (Power on +1)

odin dk28

setting make sure usb debugging is checked

Root with cw3

boot into cw3 power off then (vol down+power+camera)

factory reset x3

wipe cache x3

wipe dalvik x3

flash no journalizing mod

flash midnight 3.0
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
I cosign on iSaint's comment. Pull the battery, go into download mode, odin to dk28, flash cwm3, no journal zip (if you want), flash the rom (do not restore. do a fresh flash). Once it's up and running, go back to cwm3, do an advanced restore and restore data only. Nothing else.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punwik:
ill try again and i will let you know what happens, but im pretty sure i tried that and i get stuck at sammy. I dont know if its the new phone and the previous sd card with all my info thats effing it up or what. i think its the cwm3 converting everything to ext4 and it fails. ill let you know in a min. thanx
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punwik:
ok this is what happens everytime. after i root with cwm3 i turn the phone off and 3 fingure into cwm3 and b4 i can choose the zip or anything it starts trying to convert rfs to ext4 and it makes a restore point and says "no sd-ext found. skipping backup of sd ext.

generating md5 sum

backup complete

checking md5 sums...

restoring system...

restoring data...

restoring.android_secure...

restoring cache...

sd-ext.img not found. skipping restore of /sd-ext.

restore complete!

so should i still do the 9xwipe?

cause i did that b4 and it gets stuck at sammy...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punwik:
i followed those exact steps and on startup it does the regular dk28 startup with a ANDROID word flashing sidways over the startup animation and then my phone starts up but i cant push anything. it keeps vibrating and shuts off and then comes back on and shuts off again and again. something is very wrong and the only thing i can do is odin back to dk28. what should i do? i am very dissapointed...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
You could try the other method of converting. Install cwm 2.5.1.0 instead of cwm3 on top of dk28. Get "prepare.zip" from the original ext4 conversion thread, which will set you up with 2.5.1.2. Run the formatter from your computer. Advanced->reboot recovery from 2.5.1.0 to get to 2.5.1.2. Then flash your ext4 rom from 2.5.1.2.

Oh, and sd-ext *should* fail if you haven't formatted your sdcard for apps2sd. It won't cause any problems for you, though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
flash midnight 2.9

then flash midnight 3.0
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punwik:
Ok so while it was acting all bugged out I pulled battery and then 3 fingured into cwm3 and I took a chance and restored on 2.9 and everything is perfect. I think something is seriously wrong with v3.0. What do y'all think?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iSaint:
yea 3.0 doesn't work well with restoring data but glad everything worked out for you
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punwik:
thank all of you soooooo much for all of your help and ideas. dont know what i would do without all of you. thanx
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrewup5:
it seems like a lot of the vibrations and boot failures comes from the wiping thing. do oneclick cwm3 and ext4 conversion then factory reset at least 3 times then do cache and dalvik at least once. after that you can install your favorite rom for the most part

After flashing Magldr the Phone Reboots but gets stuck at the Splash Screen

You most probably have an older incompatable Radio on your phone. The Radio needs to be at LEAST 2.08.50 and the .50 is very important as it means the Radio is 576 RAM compatable (as stated in post1). The Radio I recommend is 2.15.50.14 and you can download it *HERE*. Boot your phone into the Bootloader Screen and flash a newer Radio and everything should be fine
[General Questions and Answers] boiky:
White screen of death :)

I have the same problem.

Installed:

* HardSPL 3.00

* Radio 2.15.50.14

* MAGLDR 1.13 - here I got the same problem as all in this thread: white screen with HTC logo after reboot hanging forever. MAGLDR doesn't load by switching off, pressing and holding volume down and power buttons.

Any solution to this?
[General Questions and Answers] boiky:
Wow! Got MAGLDR installed finally… after several cycles of different installations.

Here is what I found:

My original SPL was 3.00-0000, so previously I tried installing 3.00-HSPL. That didn’t work.

Now I installed exactly 2.08-HSPL version and here we go – I see MAGLDR menu now!

Good luck everyone! I hope this will help others with the same problem. I think we all need to read carefully (about 2.08) )))
[Nook Color General] DroidHam:
How do I install downloaded apk?
[Nook Color General] gallahad2000:
Quite a few different ways to do it. Step 1 of all of them is to install Nook Color Tools and uncheck and recheck "Allow installation of downloaded apks". Then you can install it from a filebrowser (astro, estrong, root explorer) or a program installer (easy installer).

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bobby9:
I've been working with many different versions of Android on the HD2, last year on SD Card, recently with various configurations. With RadioROM 2.10.50.28_2 I personally get best battery results, regardless of the operating system.

My favorite configuration is Windows Phone 7 in NAND and darkstone's SuperRAM 1.5 on SD Card combined with the fascinating Magldr bootmenu. The SuperRAM loads into ram from SD Card before booting and is even faster than nand-versions. Standby current usage is 2mAh to 7mAh - thats amazing battery life (see RadioROM)! To realize that, i'm missing:

1. HARET-functions in Magldr to boot almost any AD SD

2. taking STARTUP.TXT into account

3. No freeze, if SD-Card is mounted/checked after Android-boot

4. Charging possible if phone is completely switched off.

Thanks for taking notice of a very happy german HD2 user, even if this thing has less ram than TMOUS versions.

[HD2 General] 800jimbo:
Having put HSPL on my phone can I now put an official updated Vodafone ROM on it?

I'm slowly following the Android NAND instructions, so I went back from (standard) 3.14.161.3 ROM to (standard) 1.72.161.3 version in order to be able to put HSPL on. Now I need the radio which I know is on the 3.14 so was wondering if I can simply flash the standard 3.14 ROM?
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Now you are back to 1.72, run HSPL2 and select 2.08.HSPL

* HERE * is the RADIO thread. You can select any .50 RADIO (2.08.50 or above). Some say the 2.12 is better than the 2.15, but I think either would be good enough.
[HD2 General] 800jimbo:
I was hoping to use the standard ROM because I can flash that.

Following links to the zillion other threads I'm trying to follow for all the steps I see that I:

1. download the radio (done)

2. download the "CustomRUU" (done)

3. unzipped CustomRUU (done)

4. put radio in to same folder as customRUU and renamed radio[snip].rar to RUU_Signed.nbh (done)

5. run CustomRUU

And am told ERROR: FILE READ and that it cannot open the requested file.
[HD2 General] 800jimbo:
Oh OK. Not come across .rar files before - it's a compression thing :o

Radio now updated. NEXT!

Hello everybody,

Like many others here I had problem with GPS on my device. (unable to get a lock)

So I began searching for a solution which does not involve rooting.

And I cam across a solution somewhere on internet.

I will post it here for you people!(Please note down the default settings in case you want to revert back).

From your phone dialer type *#*#1472365#*#*- This will bring up the secret GPSSetup2 application.

Settings\Parameter Settings\Address\Server Type: 1x MPC

Settings\Parameter Settings\Position mode: option3

Settings\Fix Request Settings\Session Operation: Standalone

Settings\Fix Request Settings\Server Option: Local

gpsOne XTRA\Xtra Enable: Enable

After the following steps: Save the settings by exiting and then turn off and on your phone.

After this: use*#*#1472365#*#* and again enter GPSSetup2 application.

Enter: Commands/TTFF test and press start test. It will run the test 5 times. Exit the application.

And after this you will get gps lock in a few seconds. I get it under 10seconds.

Please Note: I live in India, and I do not know the following setting applies for outside India users too.

Thanks.

I am using Galaxy 3, 2.1 update 1 unrooted.

PS: Please run the TTFF test under clear sky for faster response time.

Hi, I updated my friend's rogers Streak to official 2.2 O2. I followed the same route I did to my own streak o2 1.6 - o2 2.1, then I stuck and couldn't go further since all recoveries gave me FOTA error when I tried to flash 318 official build. I tried all available clockwork and streakmod recoveries without any success. Every time I was getting the same screen as with stock recovery. I had exactly the same problems with my streak but that time I was able to flash 3 files from official untouched rom through the fastboot. Unfortunately those files amss-system-boot.zip are not available any more I had to find another way.

I connected to the wifi and updated to the official o2 2.2 via system update in phone settings. Everything seemed to be fine but then the phone started reboot when you turn on 3g and trying to use data or after 30 min browsing via wifi. And it keeps rebooting until you take out the battery. If I use it as a phone it works perfectly without any reboots.

I tried again to install 318 update with 309 recovery img, tried to go back to o2 2.1 with proper recovery but every time there was the same error - e: error in sd card update.pkg.dec status 2.

Could you guys give me any idea how can I make this thing work?

Can I use QDL tool from my current rom or I need to go back to att 1.6?

Is it possible to extract files from update.pkg to flash it via fastboot or maybe somebody still have the original files from untouched rom amss-system-boot.zip and can re-upload them.

Any help would be highly appreciated
