Mod Differences

I'm at work and since OTA doesn't work, I can't play with it until I get home, but...5 questions if you please.

1. Root - Links posted to root it. Follow the links and same as 2.1 I assume?

2. CWM backup files. I see a several reference to a 3e fix file, but can't find it. <Never mind, someone posted the link while I was writing!>? Thanks. If I use CWM to restore, does it just restore software/files, or will it knock me back to 2.1?

3. Bloatware - I intentionally left this phone stock to make sure I can update/return phone, but I suspect this is the only update coming from ATT, so time to dump the bloatware if the upgrade works. Would the list of files safe to delete be the same as with 2.1? If not, is there a list for what's safe to delete?

4. If after trying the OFFICIAL 2.2, if I want to try a custom ROM, will I be able to flash from the 2.2, or will I need to ODIN back to 2.1?

5. I asked this before, but never got an answer. If I successfully upgrade and want to save that stock upgraded state, is there some way I can make an "Image" of the phone or create a ROM from what I have so that if I screw something up later, I can return to the true stock configuration rather than the ALMOST stock Odin?

Thanks

It was actually stock JH7. Rebooted after rooting, and that's what I was greeted with.

Did you guys mean this stock?

OK, Lagfix in from http://project-voodoo.org/download : Voodoo stable 5.4.1 for Froyo 2.2.1 is now available, #2. It changes the first bootscreen to one saying Galaxy S GT-I9000, but after that it is the normal samsung screens.

Unfortunately, now my phone thinks landscape is portrait and vice versa. D'OH.
[Captivate General] aloant:
That's what I did first, but didn't work for me. :(
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Did you miss the 2.2.1 ref? You are not on 2.2.1 you are on 2.2. You will also need a reoreinted kernel
[Captivate General] thewiseguy:
what i realized is i was having an issue with the phone signal and i dunno why that affects everything else but on the top right of your phone do you see the 3g logo then it changes to the crossed out o signal....that kept happening to mine..i switched the phone to airplane mode and its not vibrating nor force closing anything anymore but now its not letting me do a factory restore
[Captivate General] hrishi2das:
My update failed a few times, the Emergency Recovery in Kies Mini also failed 3-4 times.

But after changing a few USB ports finally i got a port which completed the emergency recovery.

Sat at the 'S' screen for a long time..... now thing seem to be fine

phone feels laggy
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Actually, I can do this fine on Andromeda 1.2 and that's a 2.2 ROM. Flashed to Cog 4 last night, but haven't tried this yet. Will report back when I do.
[Captivate General] aloant:
Probably a different issue... I can't even boot the phone (stuck at animation).

Has anyone else noticed a broken Quickoffice icon in the apps drawer? look under those file is read only.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Are you actually surprised? There's a reason I'm still on Supernova and not this pile...

The only reason I wanted this to drop was for the source code so we can get roms that are actually based on this phone (well, we still have Rogers based roms).
[Captivate General] dozyaustin:
F! I just went from home to work to get this finished on my netbook .. cause the Samsung rep told me I could not finish the update on 64bit ... now I am limping along on a newbook .... bah....

I was rooted and lagfixed but on stock rom - this should be an upgrade once the root and lagfix are returned :)

Dozy
[Captivate General] n19htmare:
That's why I'm running COG with the call log fix.

GPS still blows on any rom. Pretty sure it's hardware issue.
[Captivate General] GUARDIANBD:
k thats how the whole thing goes

cannot reboot to the red recovery to disable lagfix its rebooting to 3e and reporting a problem.

how to change back to 2E??
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Haha yeah. Don't worry, they'll soon say they are releasing a GPS fix soon, just like in September.
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Yeah, I know. But I wanted to give it a shot. Funny thing is it works as to creating the ext4 and all that. Even benches in Quadrant as a lagfixed captivate should. Just that orientation issue.

But see, none of this stuff scares me. If need be, I will use oden to go back to factory default on the phone, then re-froyo it....or say: OK, I've seen it. Now where is my rom :-)
[Captivate General] KonaZXIII:
I'm taking it for a spin today, then back to Serendipity.

I'm having a 3e problem right now. I'm used to 2e and all of the different kernel recoveries, but 3e gives me trouble.

I've got KB1 rooted, sideloaded and restored most of my apps (minus data) and I cannot get CWM to boot. I flashed CWM, used Root Explorer to move the zip to SD, renamed it update.zip, reinstalled packages and I get a signature failure.

Am I missing an obvious step here?
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Still? Did this not work in 2.1update1? Did for me. Perhaps the dock is bad?

Froyo Upgrade experience...

OK, I have been on the verge of rooting and flashing for the last week, only to see this thread yesterday, so I decided to hold off, and see what the stock Froyo upgrade went like. I have 3 other family members with these phones, all of us stock, no mods, only a few Market installed apps, and I'm pretty sure at least 2 will not want anything but stock AT&T firmware. As I will probably be doing their upgrades, I wanted to see how it all went.

Upgrade experience was good. I removed my external SD card from the phone, disabled Launcher Pro, then installed Kies Mini on an XP SP3 Pro laptop from one of the links in this thread, it updated itself to the latest version. Set the phone (1007) to USB Debugging mode, and connected it, and Kies recognized it right away, and indicated there was an upgrade. I hit the Upgrade button, and followed the instructions in Kies, and the upgrade went smoothly, with no problems. Took about 15 minutes from start to finish (back to unlock screen) Booted fully to stock launcher, and I checked things out from there, then shut down, re-inserted SD card, and booted again. Set Wallpaper back to MyPhotosLive which uses pictures stored on external SD, no problems.

The only issue I see so far is with a number of Widgets not loading on Launcher Pro pages...so I just removed and replaced them all. All my text messages, contact, emails, etc are still there.

The phone seems a little snappier overall...but I'm still probably going to root and flash something at some point, rather than wait for the next upgrade (if there is one).

Phone is now at:

Firmware version 2.2

Baseband Version I897UCKB1

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9

Build Number FROYO.UCKB1

This is probably redundant info that is uninteresting to most folks here, just wanted to relay my experience....
[Captivate General] richb500:
Should I unlock my phone prior to updating to Froyo (or at least root and get the unlock code and/or copy /efs folder)? Or... Is unlocking the phone under the new Froyo easy enough, so no need to bother?

I kind of want to keep my phone 100% stock until my 1 yr warranty runs out, but will want to root and unlock it after that.
[Captivate General] GUARDIANBD:
how do i do that?

done the 3 button thingy and now in the 2E menu.

done "reinstall packages"

what now?
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Don't know about the Unlocking, but the update removes root. you will need to root again. Read back. I and others posted a link to a working root (and allow unknown apps).
[Captivate General] Barsky:
You need Odin. Master Clear is initiated in Windows and then reboots the phone to do it's work. The Start botton would revert your phone to 2.1update1 and requires you reboot to download mode. I find using "adb reboot download" the easiest way to get to download mode. This applies to the Odin from below link. There are different versions of Odin.

[Captivate General] no driver:
I believe this is a known issue, where when you restore your LauncherPro setup you have to manually replace all of the widgets. I've certainly had to do it every time I try a new ROM.
[Captivate General] ZephCr:
I want to root again after this update. Should I use what I used before which was captivate one click root or should I go with the super one click root or maybe the z4root? Does it even matter with this upgrade?
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
So no successful lagfixes yet?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You should at least get your unlock code out before upgrade to Froyo. Unlock code and unlock status won't change after upgrade but getting unlock code from Froyo is much harder than Eclair.
[Captivate General] kornklown69:
Superoneclick is easy enuff i used it...but now cant get clockwork to install any ideas why not?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
there are a few ways to do it. There is a code you can punch into the dialer that will wipe the device. The easiest is to use the master clear un odin one click. Just hook up phone with debugging on and hit master clear. This will wipe your devoce so make sure to back up anything you done want to lose. No system data though mainly if you are comi.g from stock 2.1
[Captivate General] rjblack11:
grab 3e_no sig link back a few pages. extract "recovery" file. using root explorer change out the new "recovery" file with the old one in system/bin/. reboot should be good to go

This worked for me.
[Captivate General] rjblack11:
lol mine isnt. but certain lagfixes might cause that.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Yes. Unlock code should never change if you follow the proper procedures. The only time your unlock code changes is when you flash certain custom ROMs that's not properly made for Captivate and it may mess up your IMEI, product code and unlock code.

If you mess up your product code, Kies won't be able to recognize your phone anymore (just in case there is another update for Captivate). You have to go through a lot of trouble to recover it.
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Well, I just asked a buddy who just got his Captivate a couple months ago. He says TWLauncher does not rotate, while apps do. So, I feel better now :)

[Captivate General] emuneee:
Sounds like you got a bad flash. Were you running any type of mods, root, lagfix before you flashed. You have to do a hard-reset (and lose all your data) or if that doesn't work, flash to JF6 (and lose all your data) and then try upgrade again.

I tried resetting user data/cache, and sd card format in the recovery menu (?), but it didn't fix the problem.

But anyway, I did flash JF6 just fine, and then finally I'm back up now w/ Froyo. :D

That normally happens if you enter download mode BEFORE opening ODIN. Make sure ODIN is open before you plug the usb into your phone.

You can also use ODIN or CWM to flash the leaked KB1 firmware (same as the official released one) to avoid the Kies issues.

Are you using the built in voice dialer (not vlingo or something)?

Can you voice dial by simply pressing the button on your headset and not unlocking your phone (i.e. even if you're at the swipe/pin screen)?

Hey guys...is the unlock code changing after the update??? Also how much usable RAM do we have in this build???
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Thanks to kangi26

Master Clear:

1.	Ensure you have backed up all of your information onto your Micro SD or your desktop BEFORE doing this. IT WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR INTERNAL SD!!

2.	Make sure to remove your SIM and Micro SD if you have one

3.	With your USB cable disconnected from your phone, open Odin One Click

4.	On your phone, go to ; Settings/Applications/Development/and check “USB Debugging”

5.	Connect your USB cable to your phone

6.	You’ll see in Odin, that your phone has been discovered

7.	Click “Master Clear”

8.	When the Master Clear has completed, your phone will reboot.

9.	The phone is now as it was when it came from the factory
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I'm using Vlingo, but it worked with the built-in voice app, as well. On previous phones I had to hold the button (on phone or device) several seconds to bring up the voice dial, but now I only have to press it once and wait a second before speaking.

No, unlock code does not change. Useable RAM is 339MB.

Try SuperOneClickRoot. This one works for me.

Yes, you have to root the phone and delete the TetheringManager0114.apk. It will allow you to tether (either via wi-fi hotspot or usb) without tethering plan.
[Captivate General] DimSumGuy83:

Help N00b Please - Bricked Captivate

Hello... I have a tried to update my Captivate this morning to the official 2.2 ROM using Keis. I was running the official 2.1-update1 ROM before and I have never put another ROM on my phone. I did have Root and OCLF installed. I waited to see some success stories before I did the update and there were a lot of positive posts so I went for it. After the update completed my phone wouldn't boot up. It will get to the "S" screen (which stays on much longer than it should) then the screen goes blank and won't come back on. The phone vibrates quickly every minute or so but it never comes all the way up. I can get into recovery mode and I can get into download mode. So, I'm pretty sure that with a tool like Odin I can un-brick the phone. The only catch is I was REALLY stupid and I didn't do a back up before I updated! :( I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if there is anyway I can get a ROM on to my phone without loosing my personal data. I have some vacation pics, videos and documents that I really don't want to loose. Or if there is a way I can mount the file system before I run Odin on it. I have SDK running but I cant get it to see the phone since the USB isn't in DEBUG mode.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks in advance!

I'm afraid it is already too late. You should ALWAYS disable/remove any lagfix before upgrade. Now your system parition probably don't have enough space left for anything (OCLF used most of it and stock firmware won't be able to access those paritions).
