[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
You no longer need to mess with the SDK or using ADB to root. You can do it all by putting the proper files on your SD card and using Terminal Emulator on your phone to run the commands. Look it up in the wiki and development forum, but many people are using THIS method to root without ADB, though theoretically you could use the other root methods as well without ADB.

For this application of just perm-rooting, all ADB is doing is placing the files in the correct locations and running the commands. You can easily manually put the files in the correct locations via mounting the SD card to your computer, then run these commands from the phone. I'd recommend doing it this way to save you some time and confusion, unless of course you plan on using the SDK later on for further development.

Downgrading your firmware pertains to the Desire Z (Euro version of the G2). No downgrading is necessary for the G2. All you need to do is make sure that you use the appropriate '.ko' file depending on if you have the OTA update on your phone or not. At this point I'd be surprised if you didn't but be sure to check.

This is the stock source DG has for Cog4.

This was downloaded directly from samsung's fus servers. The only thing I have done to it is decrypted it and changed the filename for a simpler upload. I am not responsible for death and destruction caused by flashing this rom bla bla bla...

I'm a noob so I can't really offer any support and couldn't post this in the dev forum because I didn't have permissions.

There is another rom posted in the dev forum that shows a build date of 2-1-2011. Mine should be 2-19-2011.

Here is the link for the KB1 ROM (Odin Flashable)

http://www.mediafire.com/?i47m7nmcnd66zgr

CWM Version: http://www.mediafire.com/?7c8le9r43e289e9 - Thanks Pirateghost!

-this is CWM injected voodoo KB1 kernel thanks to supercurio

-rooted

-deodexed

-ran it through zipalign

-removed tethering apk that prevents tethering

-i did not remove any other ATT/Samsung bloat.... wanted to keep it stock and then work from there.

-added Titanium Backup and Captivate SGS tools and gps sec.conf file from Andromeda

-link target updated with corrected apn list for for those with data connectivity issues
[Captivate Android Development] bobtukin:
Anyone try this out? Is it real at&t 2.2 rom? Waiting to flash after work.
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
Yeah the recent screenshots in the cog forum are from this. After DG's modding, of course. Not really sure if it is any different than the KB1 already posted in the dev forum but the build date is newer.
[Captivate Android Development] Strugs:
How to flash? With odin3? Please post, I'll let my cappy be a guinea pig!
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
I really don't have a clue how to flash it myself but I invite anyone who does know to post instructions or link the thread here that has all the steps.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
This requires ODIN3 to flash.

I downloaded both this and the 2/1/11 version of the file from Dev forum. Uncompressed the zip and the firmware rar file are bit-to-bit identical. So, there is no difference between this and the ones posted in dev forum. All the files inside the rar are timestamped at 1/31/2011 with the exception of cache.rfs which is 2/7/2011 (on both versions).
[Captivate Android Development] stoobie-doo:
I've downloaded both this file and the one chainfire linked to; they are identical (and both have homeBinary.tar files dated Feb 7) - and no, I have not flashed either... waiting for reports from others first about the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Strugs:
Do I need a .pit file to flash with odin3?
[Captivate Android Development] agh1701:
Flashed Chainfire's. No problems to report.
[Captivate Android Development] TheSopranos16:
So is this even the official 2.2 we've been waiting for? I mean, if they have it done since Feb 7, why aren't they releasing it? And why would it be 2.2 when the Epic just got 2.2.1 today?
[Captivate Android Development] agh1701:
No. Only the .tar in the PDA slot.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Why even bother with 2.2 when there are 2.2.1 roms out that are flawless on the captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I flashed the 2-1 version. Ran into partitioning problems going straight from my Andromeda install. Installed JH2 found here with Odin3 1.81 and used a 512.pit with partition checked then installed KB1 with no pit (pit is only used for partitioning). Then I rooted with Super One-Click and installed the no-verification 3e recovery from here.

It's working, but I just did this to make sure I had working steps so I could help a friend. I'll be going back to Andromeda after playing with this for a while.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
The reason to bother with this is every other ROM has given me horrible issues with the phone losing all connection to the cell tower at a random time. The WiFi stays connected, but instead of the signal bars, I get a no connection icon, and I can't use the phone until I reboot it. The pure i897 setup has never had this issue, and it went away when I flashed back the last pure i897 ROM (Cogition 2.3B8).

Related to this same issue is the horrendous drop in battery when the phone loses the connection and constantly searches for it. I've never had it lose much juice when on standby when I had it on an i897 ROM. When using one of these frankenstein ROMs based on other hardware, I would sometimes find my phone almost dead in the morning with connection having been lost sometime at night.

I also hate he fact that none of the other ROMs have figured out how to really use the hardware noise cancellation audience chip we have on our i897. I can't really tell the difference between it being used versus a software solution from the other ROMs, but if I have the chip, by golly I want it utilized.

Going back to 2.2 for 2.2.1 doesn't bother me quite as much as losing key phone functionality and battery life. The phone was a bit snappier on 2.2.1 based perception, and HSUPA looked good in Speedtest results, but in real life usage the 2.2 ROM feels just as nice to use. Inject voodoo lagfix, and it would be a fine daily driver, just like JI6 was many moons ago.
[Captivate Android Development] ricethief:
I've flashed this one with odin3, seems to work ok. You have to root again after flash.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
so is this official froyo or another leak?

What works what doesn't?

What has changed from the last leak?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Well.... it wasn't released by AT&T or Samsung.... so until then I would consider this a leak.

I'm no DEV but I am surprised that nothing has been released yet on this base.
[Captivate Android Development] ricethief:
Here's screen after install.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
AT&T needs couple weeks or even months to fully test the ROM before it can be released. So, it seems anywhere from now to next month, this ROM will be released publically if it is the official ROM. God forbid, if critical issues are found and ROM needs to be rebuild, we have to wait even longer.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
Any major differences from other leaks how is the GPS?
[Captivate Android Development] ricethief:
I'll go check....

Quadrant score went up only a little. I do not have any lagfixes installed and have the bloatware on still.
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
Well your device is better than a Samsung Galaxy S.....wait, what? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] sarcasmo:
How about Media Hub - is it fully functional?

[Captivate Android Development] MIAPLAYA:
Looking for this info too. Are we really looking at the next official AT&T leak/release?
[Captivate Android Development] ricethief:
Media Hub is working.

I do not think it made any improvements to my GPS. I was driving on a road that runs parallel to I-84, it is a few hundred yards away, but the GPS kept putting me on the interstate and then back on the road I was driving on. Still a POS,

Here's a screen of MediaHub connected
[Captivate Android Development] BLiTzNicK:
The install instructions that engadget and various sites linked to on Samsung's site, referenced increases in linpack by up to 5x. Can you run a linpack test and see what you get?
[Captivate Android Development] Strugs:
Check out the new apps:
[Captivate Android Development] cardassianvol:
That is very good to know.
[Captivate Android Development] ricethief:
I ran it twice, still have bloatware installed......
[Captivate Android Development] BLiTzNicK:
Thank you. That's a little disappointing. Hopefully this isn't the final build.
[Captivate Android Development] bplucas:
Excuse my ODIN3 ignorance - what's the trick to using this to flash? Got the phone into download mode. Running ODIN3. Not sure how to 'point' it at the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Start Odin with the phone off and unplugged. Click the button that says PDA then choose I897UCKB1-homeBinary.tar. Hold volume up+down while plugging in USB. Wait for the phone to be detected. Click the start button.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
and make sure you are using REGULAR odin and not the ONE CLICK odin....
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
My sentiments exactly. The variety of ROM, Kernel and Modem combinations more than exceed any late to the game "official" milktoast Froyo update from Samsung with and ATT layer...ugh...

No MMS when I tried.

I had high hopes it wouldn't have problems like the custom roms I've tried but found out it had no MMS. It just states server error when trying to send. Is anyone else having this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Not having any problems on my ROM, I'm uploading it now I would appreciate any bug reports.
[Captivate Android Development] ricethief:
I just tested mine and it works fine. I used the link in the first post.
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
So then this is the official 2.2 that was pulled a few days ago?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Nothing was pulled, because nothing was ever released, but I believe that page did refer KB1 (unless I'm remembering it wrong).
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
Yes this is the completely stock I897UCKB1 ROM download directly from Samsung's own update servers. The only things that I did to it before uploading it was decrypt it and shorten its file name. The page on Samsung's website referenced the update as KB1. It looks like they just haven't switched it on to allow Kies Mini to access it.
[Captivate Android Development] cardassianvol:
It fixes a huge issue. It is Froyo for the large majority of users who have never ever heard of XDA.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Can this only be flashed via Odin, only?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
yes. if you want a 'stock' CWM flashable i can give you one
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
Yes, I would like one myself if its not too much trouble. Pleeeze!!
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
And it can be flashed like any other rom? Cwm>installed from sd>download>"whateveritsnamed.zip>install>reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
rooted, deodexed, zipaligned, no tethering restriction (warning is still there, but tethering works), added captivate sgs tools and tibu, no 'gps fix', stock kernel + voodoo + cwm, stock modem (UCKB1)

no edits done aside from that...basically just a flashable zip that gets you to a 'stockish' kb1

http://www.mediafire.com/?7c8le9r43e289e9
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Should lagfix be disabled?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
nah.....if you are using a voodoo kernel now, it should work fine
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Using speedmod
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
should work fine, but if you want to be safe, disable it
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Thanks @35% :)

I'm still a newby to all this & I finally rooted my cappy today. I'm currently downloading this zip for the update, do I have to unroot my phone for it & do I install it the same way I rooted it with the .net framework
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Pirateghost, does your ROM have working data connection?
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
NO it does not.

I just tested it everything to work fine, snappy as hell I might add, but I couldn't get data and figures my wifi goes out in the middle of a small snowstorm.
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
We all know they don't matter, but we can't stand not knowing what they are so here are the Quadrant scores:

I used Pirateghost's CWM flashable zip to install. The scores are with Voodoo enabled, no bloat removed, and no changes other than the ones listed in post 51.

1st run: 1358

2nd run: 1583

3rd run: 1594

4th run: 1607

Pretty respectable in my book. :D
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Go to settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > APN settings. Add an apn, doesn't matter what you put just put something and hit menu then save.

When it shows the list of APNs, hit menu and "restore to default". After that toggle flight mode, this should make data work.
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Ill give it a shot I just flashed back to serendipity, man this is alot of work :-P
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
Ryude

check your thread....that fix worked
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
yeah, it was working fine with my TMob sim card, as soon as i put one of my att sims in, it would never find the APN

i got it sorted now....i will be changing my CWM flashable and download link to prevent others.
[Captivate Android Development] ZephCr:
Should I use the one from post 51 instead of the original post?
[Captivate Android Development] bdpyo:
Im an idiot, I was ready to flash again and realized I deleted it. Lol

Ill give it a shot in the am.

I was impressed on how smooth and snappy it felt though.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
i am reuploading...give me a few minutes. APN works out of the box on mine now

new download link

ou812bkewl, if you want to post this up in the original post and copy what i put in post 51, go for it.
[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
the first link in the original post should be only Odin flashable. the second link in the op just links to post 51, which is CWM flashable. I used the CWM because I am more comfortable with flashing ROMs using that method. I have never used Odin before.

Anyone know off-hand what the average typical time from final build to release has been for Samsung lately? (Not a sarcastic question, trying to gauge how long it should be for an official release, if this is the final version)
[Captivate Android Development] emuneee:
Been using the included modem and kernel (with Voodoo injected) with the Rogers Captivate update. GPS is a lot better. Prior to this I was running the latest Speedmod kernel and the JL2 modem. Its also nice to get my battery life and noise cancellation back, at the expense of HSUPA.
[Captivate Android Development] JohnnyDanger:
I have a couple of questions I hope one of you can answer. I installed the version from post 51. Using this version, can I use mobile ap or will I get crazy charges from AT&T? I do have unlimited data, but im more concerned if they will hit me with some other charges.

Second question is does anyone have (more) issues with the GPS with this release? Mine has went from troubled to conpletely useless. I cant get any lock.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
At least 3 weeks or more.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
As long as you don't abuse it, you will most likely be fine. If AT&T spot a huge spike in your data usage, they may investigate. Unlimited data doesn't really mean unlimited. It only means unlimited data that your phone can consume in a month normally.

GPS isn't any better or worse. It is inline with what I got from the previous JI6 leak. What you should always do after a firmware flash is to go outside with clear view of sky and accquire your first lock which may take a few minutes. After that, you will get quick locks until you travel to a different city far away.
[Captivate Android Development] JohnnyDanger:
Thanks for the info. I really only use the mobile AP to connect my nook color and get my daily newspaper and possibly a book. That's very little data.

As for GPS, I can't get a lock inside or out. Oh well, I guess I have to wait for official or go back to Phoenix.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Phoenix
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
for me gps tracking is far superior to what i got with stock or the ji6 leak.

Jf6, jh7, and ji6 were unable to track me through turns and often showed me bouncing on and off the road.

Hasn't missed a turn yet or bounced me off the road with this flash. At least as good as the best tracking i have had on the device (which surprised me...initial locks took longer and i was seeing/looking 2-3 fewer sats)
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
What I noticed from upgrading mine to UCKB1 from UCJI6 is that all user data are preseved. This causes a lot of issues for me(a lot of force closes). So make sure you boot into recovery and clear out both user data (factory reset) and cache (Dalvik cache) if you are upgrading from any 2.2 ROMs.

Overall, I liked the improvments made in this ROM compare to JI6 I've been using.

* The exchange email client is nice and the critical bug (can't reply) in JI6 is fixed.

* The calendar events are now clickable for phone numbers and addresses

* The official Samsung car dock USB audio now works although it still degrads already weak GPS signals.

* Fixed Bluetooth remote sim bug in JI6.
[Captivate Android Development] JohnnyDanger:
Thanks so much for this tip. I did that and when I restarted for a lock in maps within 5 seconds, accurate to 10 meters.

What about Voice Dial over Bluetooth??

Since this is 2.2 and not 2.2.1, I presume voice dialing over bluetooth, you know, tap the headset, wait for a voice prompt then tell it whom to dial doesn't work natively.

I am wondering whether vlingo will work with it though, since their app always complained that 2.2 was required. It didn't mention 2.2.1.

Anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] IamSonoma:
Html email support for Exchange 2003 like the 2.2.1 clients?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Yea it works..... it also has a car mode that uses a touch more battery but allows you to say "Hey Vlingo" then it wakes up and asks you what you wanna do.
[Captivate Android Development] nfs_phone:
Still making sure before I jump

And without Vlingo, no hands free BT voice dial, right?

I just want to make sure that Vlingo isn't cheating by relying on the speakermike. I definitely want to be able to keep the phone in a case, tap the headset and voice dial. I don't care that Vlingo is required, IF it works like that!
[Captivate Android Development] JohnnyDanger:
Some apps are not showing in the market with this update, PayPal for example. Does anyone know how to correct this?

Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Phoenix
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
It only works in Car mode..... not sure how much extra battery it uses. You don't touch your button..... you just say HEY VLINGO and it talks to you.

All thru bluetooth
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
Because you are using an unreleased ROM. Either wait for it to officially release or try to hack the system to fool the market, not sure if there are still such hacks working.

Unable to Remove Bloatware

Is anyone else having a problem removing the bloatware using TBU? I installed the ckb1 rom and applied the SuperOneCLick Root and Market side loading. Then I installed TBU 3.7.1

It's not detecting that I did the backup option first and is leaving an android icon behind in the apps menu; along with the home screen shortcuts. Launching it now just FC's on me.
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
No problem here. Try factory reset your phone if you're coming from another 2.2 ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
Did you reboot after you uninstalled the apps?

Sent from my HTC Vision
[Captivate Android Development] shawnl01:
I ran the One 1 click to retore back to stock and then applied the new ROM on top of it. It looked like everything got whiped but I'll do a reset from it
[Captivate Android Development] shawnl01:
Nope, but that was the trick. I need more coffee if I miss something so easy.

Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] foxbat121:
Sorry, I have to take back my above statement. I DID noticed the same thing. But I later found out that it takes a while for TBU to completely remove those apps from apps drawer. You will see notifications when it is done. Or a reboot can finish that as well. My guess is that all those bloat wares are preloaded into the memory (as most carrier bloatwares are pre-marked as 'frequently used' and Froyo will pre-load them in memory) and it takes time to flush them out.

secgps.conf?

Does anyone have a copy of the stock /data/gps/secgps.conf they can upload (or even just paste content)?
