People having problems after upgrade. REBOOT. Reboot often. To make it work for me I had to reboot after almost every step.

After the Lies install, I had to reboot laptop also to get SuperOneVlick to run.

To use TiBU, REBOOT. I think I had 4 reboots just installing TIBU.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
I've read the whole thread. That's why I mentioned FIOS; it's not download speed. To be clear; Kies Mini gets all the way to the start of the downloading firmware from the web screen before crapping out. Unlike the others this, is not happening half-way through, but immediately.

I tried again this morning, and now Kies Mini is only seeing the phone in debug mode; when I put the phone in Kies mode, MTP launches and claims to connect, but nothing happens on the PC side

Ugh.
[Captivate General] WD333:
Lock screen

Does 2.2 change the default lockscreen to have the words "Swipe to Unlock" as opposed to just the lock icon and words saying "Phone Locked"? I could've sworn that after I updated yesterday, my lockscreen had "Swipe to Unlock" on it but now it reverted back. I'm running stock with LauncherPro.
[Captivate General] sircaper:
I believe the swipe to unlock thing is just a new install message for new users. It does disappear after a few uses.
[Captivate General] aicirt17:
Doctor QMM, how did you root? I tried OCLF and Super One-Click after upgrading yesterday, and had no luck on either.
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Just to be clear, doing this was supposed to remove the warning on tethering in the settings, Wireless and Network? If so than I can also confirm moving the file out of /System/Apps accomplished nothing. This is fairly important to me, as I've recently had 2 occasions when I've needed it. :-(

I am trying so hard not to just go back to a rom :-)

Any working ext4 lagfix for this?
[Captivate General] rscheller:
Mobile Hotspot function

I've seen the issue with tethering discussed with official 2.2 but my question is does official 2.2 have a functioning Mobile AP?

Just getting details before considering updating my wifes' Cappy from stock 2.1 update 1 to official 2.2.

Note - On my Cappy, with unofficial 2.2, Mobile AP is available and works well.

Thanks
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a updated through kies, and from what I understand that won't be effected by a previous odin flash.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
It could if it requires you to have the OTA JH7 update before it will install.
[Captivate General] Phoenix-Lead:
Me too!:D...
[Captivate General] KonaZXIII:
Isn't there an Odin for JH7?

I have a CWM zip on my pc that was put together by Designgears. Or am I missing something?
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I don't know. The 1-Click Odin I got in here is for JF6. Any Odin will keep you from getting OTA updates is my understanding of it. Kies should remain unaffected, though.
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
I mean it doesn't matter if you flashed back with odin just as long as you have a stock jh7 or jf6. But I could be wrong
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I'm going to wait and see since I'm rooted and running a custom ROM. I have a feeling this forum is going to blow up tomorrow.:eek:
[Captivate General] Ikonomi:
The only material benefit to flashing stock Froyo at this point for me is support for the Audience noise-canceling chip. I'd be giving up the wonderful SpeedMod kernel with Voodoo Sound and the wonderfully fast KP1 modem for the noise cancellation, though. I'm not sure that's worth it.

I'm tempted to wait until the kernel source is released and DG and the other superstar devs here release a full-featured KB1-based kernel, then take the plunge to Cognition 4 or similar. I'm just thankful for all the smart and talented people who have made this phone so great without support from AT&T and Samsung.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate General] clemmie:
Umm, the Rogers 2.2 Kernel has been out for a bit, wouldn't that suffice as a 2.2 Kernel that could work as a base for 2.2 ROMs? There's already one that has Voodoo Lagfix injected and it works great on Froyo. I'm using it now and I have great Linpack, Quadrant and CPU Benchmark scores. If people had been interested it might have been a good one to develop in terms of Battery and Mem tweaks ala SpeedMod.
[Captivate General] Shoey Peachew:
My thoughts exactly! I tried Cog 3.04 for a bit to use the Audience Chip noise cancelation feature (if it even worked), but it wasn't worth giving up speedmod and all the cool features. I would love to be able to use the audience chip in furture roms (other than Cog)!
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Kies Mini won't recognize your phone unless it is running either JF6 or JH7 stock ROMs.
[Captivate General] vaiol123:
I guess its time to back up my i9000 rom and flash to JH7. Can't wait to see what official froyo is going to be like!
[Captivate General] aicirt17:
So, besides unrooting, what other preparations should be made for stock Eclair users before the Froyo upgrade tomorrow? Disable any lag fixes, right? And, of course, backup, backup, backup? Anything else?
[Captivate General] Ikonomi:
Unfortunately, the Rogers Captivate doesn't have the Audience chip, which would be my main objective in flashing a KB1 ROM. :(

Day late a a few dollars short, running Cognition 4 all ready. :cool:
[Captivate General] crupp:
If you use Odin to flash back to Stock, JF6, and them connect Kies Mini you will be prompted to upgrade to JH7.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
It is not necessary to unroot your phone. But you should always disable any lag fixes before upgrading. Backup (I'm talking about TiBU) are probably worthless if you are still on Eclair. You will have problems trying restore them in 2.2.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Not if 2.2 is released. It will prompt you upgrade to latest version. There is no need to go with JH7 first. The only reason Samsung is not doing OTA but Kies Mini is to avoid the incremental upgrade (incremental upgrade is needed for OTA in order minimize the download size).
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
Does anyone know if I am unable to get Kies Mini to download the firmware; is flashing via ODIN the tar file in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=963403 functionally the same (and presumably should allow other official updates to work).
[Captivate General] ailanaimages:
I have 7 64 bit which does not work with kies mini, can't connect with the full kies program. and don't have an xp machine with usb 2,, the old xp gets just about to the end of the update and can't complete. the info I saw said no 64 bit and needs usb 2 on xp: any suggestions? (the one click un-root worked great) Roger
[Captivate General] dozyaustin:
I am a newbie, so take this at face value if anything broke, I would likely be on here searching for solutions - but nothing broke thus far.

KIES mini runs fine with 64bit Win7. There were reports of interference with IE9 - so if you have any version of that uninstall it.

I ended up going to my netbook with Win7 32bit, and it ran fine. But there are plenty reports earlier in the thread of 64bit running fine.

Good luck.

Yes, Mobile AP works fine there is a thread about it but it took three steps:

1) rename / delete tethering APK,

2) create a new APN

3) reboot.

Both Mobile AP and USB Tethering work. Thread where this is covered: URL

I am just happy I have the cleaner code running - phone works as well as before with new niceties such as Skype finally logging in! (I know how revolutionary)

I am a happy, rooted, lagfixed, tethering enabled, Froyo camper.

:P
[Captivate General] rscheller:
dozyaustin - what did you use that worked for rooting and lagfix?

Thanks for the Mobile AP / tethering info. I thought they were different functions.
[Captivate General] Lightsider:
For what it's worth, KIES mini ran great on my Windows Server 2008 machine here at work. Then used SuperOneClick to obtain root access.

Now, has anyone gotten Super Circle Battery to work on the new Froyo build? And if so, are you willing to provide your update.zip? ^_^

I did update win 7 yesterday to SP1 and it discovered my OS is not genuine, ran the usual remove WAP. I don't think this is causing the issue tho.

I also noticed after uninstalling and re-installing kies it updated to ver: 1.0.0.11014_6

Did they realize there was an issue and updated the software on the fly?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

[Captivate General] Caliesv:
Not to sound like a jerk, but people posted this numerous times in this thread. Just take a look back.. :)
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
I'm having problems too but my version is 1.0.0.11011_4; it hasn't tried to update to a new version on me.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
[2.2 AP] just thought id let people know: if you have TBU, and freeze the tethering app, that well allow access for using the access point as well. It might be easier for some instead of going through root explorer. :)
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Latest version is 1.0.0.11014_6 that was released a few weeks ago. Kies Mini always checks for updates when it opens. Not sure why yours didn't update.
[Captivate General] donharden2002:
I updated thru kies mini with no issues. It took less than 5mins to d/l.

I played around with it for about an hr, wasn't able to get a lock with gps and overall it seemed a little laggy imo.

So it's back to supernova for me. Now if they give us a gb update then I might stick with it for a little while.

I hope those that stick with it enjoy it and have good luck with it.
[Captivate General] donharden2002:
How are you liking your inspire so far? I'm thinking of buying one but will probably wait until summer to see what else comes along and get as many opinions as u can on them.

I hope you have a great experience with it.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
Is there a direct download for that version? Maybe that will fix my problem.:rolleyes:
[Captivate General] dozyaustin:
I used SuperOneClick for the root : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Then I used OneClickLagFix (in the market) for the lagfix - this is the same lagfix I had on 2.1 (http://www.appbrain.com/app/ryanzas-oclf-2-0/com.rc.QuickFixLagFixR2)

I see people on here swearing by VooDoo lagfix, but I could not get that one to work - maybe I missed something.

It seems the Mobile AP and Tethering are 2 different functions, but it seems they are blocked by AT&T together.

[Captivate General] Hurricane Andrew:
Be careful. I tried installing the modded 3e recovery mentioned in this and other threads, and that went fine. Then tried to use the update.zip for the circle battery mod and trashed my phone. It would bit to the s then go dark and just buzz every now and then. Had to ODIN back to stock and start fresh.

Just a heads up...
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Isn't this one using ext2 instead of better ext4?
[Captivate General] ryude:
Because higher numbers are always better? But anyway, that lagfix isn't good because it doesn't actually convert the partitions. OCLF = crap

Ext4 has too much overhead for a smartphone, ext3 is better if you want journaling support and ext2 is better if you don't want journaling support.

As long as you are actually converting the partition, all of the lagfixes work fine.
[Captivate General] Barsky:
I've always heard ext2 corrupts too easily. I've run ext4 before with great result.

But thanks for the smartass answer, your douche
[Captivate General] ryude:
How can my post be interpreted as a smartass answer?

Ext2 doesn't corrupt anything, it just doesn't have a journal. I've done battery pulls and it never messed up my data.
[Captivate General] Barsky:
"Because higher numbers are always better?"

People asking questions/looking for help don't need the sarcastic BS. Seems to be a growing amount of it in this forum.

On another note, you're about the only person I've heard of who prefers ext2. Regardless, good luck to you.
[Captivate General] ryude:
Well I am sorry if I came off that way, good luck to you as well.
[Captivate General] Hooligan63:
Probably a total newb question but I need to know...

Trying to do the update. Downloaded Kies mini.

Followed instructions to put phone in download mode which is where I am at now. I have the droid digging with the shovel on the phone screen now but he's been there for about a half hour. Nothing seems to be going on on my pc.

The instructions say "once the computer is finished...."

Should this be taking so long? How will I know "when the computer is finished"?

If I open Kies mini it tells me to connect my device.

Windows 7 64bit OS

Thanks for any help.

edited to add my phone is stock.
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
I flashed serendipity and used it for a week. Great custom ROM imo. I flashed back to JF6 yesterday and did the official I897UCKB1. Now, I have the official unrooted captivate. I like the new changes but not happy with the lag. I want to have lagfix. Do I need to root my phone for it? If yes then can you please tell me if I can do it through three button combo (phoneswitch off, vol up/down and power key) recovery mode? What are the files I need to keep in the root directory? What are the steps I need to follow? Sorry there are lot of questions. I want to.root and lag fix I897UCKB1 stock captivate. Thanks
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Accepted, returned and moving on
[Captivate General] ryude:
Also, here's why ext4 is unnecessary.

ext2 does automatic e2fsck after bad shutdowns anyway.

EXT2 vs EXT4
[Captivate General] shabazz18:
Wow, this is supposed to be different?!? Wish I had four hands, so I could give this "update" four thumbs down. Still no GPS? You've got to be kidding me.

[Captivate General] devangxda:
Is there any issue if I upgrade rooted Captivate to official FROYO ?

I have rooted but AT&T locked Captivate. I have obtained the unlock code using SGS Unlocker but not used it ( I will have to once I am out of USA).

[1] Can I safely upgrade rooted Captivate to official FROYO?

[2] Will the phone be un-rooted once it is upgraded?

[3] Is it a good idea to unlock the phone and then upgrade? (fearing that I might not be able to unlock once it is upgraded)

Thanks.
[Captivate General] kevria:
I upgraded my wife's rooted Captivate last night from stock 2.1 to stock 2.2

1 - Worked fine for me, just took awihle

2 - The phone was still rooted after the upgrade

3 - No clue what you mean here.
[Captivate General] ailanaimages:
Posted a note about problems with kies mini on my 7 - 64 bit, not sure how to navigate these big threads, lost my post.. I took someone's advice and switched to a 7 - 64 bit rig that was not running IE9 and Kies Mini updated my captivate to 2.2.. The GPS is still very weak/inaccurate compared to my verizon fascinate and Droid X. Thanks to all for getting me through this update.. It should have been over the air click click done.. Thanks Samsung!~!
[Captivate General] shadow65781:
I like it very much. Sound from speaker not as good as captivate, but it's not awful. Movies look better on the captivate. But overall its a better phone. Running stock and I can't bog it down
[Captivate General] TayzGpa:
Where did you get 14_6?
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Here's my take. If you were on Eclair and don't want to deal with Roms, this is a nice update. Increased performance (a little), gives you addition screen locks than that fool pattern one. Sure, GPS is still trash, but as a Samsung android customer, we should all be well used to disappointment from them on the software front (I like the Captivate itself very much).

For we folks who enjoy using roms, yes, this is a big, pointless waste of time. Many of the roms are a newer version, faster, offer better battery life and have well functioning GPS. And of course, with newer Samsung phones getting Gingerbread, there will probably be roms based on 2.3 before samsung is even aware of what that is ;-)

I did this official release purely out of curiosity. I suspect it will not be long before I am back to di11i's v6.0. He, Serendipity, COG, Cezar's and others I am aware of but have not tried myself simply do it better than Samsung can. Shrug.
[Captivate General] byteme2008:
I know people are saying that this update provided no improvements to the GPS, but I have seen improvement so far. Never been able to see nine satellites before let alone get seven or eight in use, but since the update I have been able to. Not at first, but after a couple of re-starts of the phone I am getting locks. I am going to try Google Navigation on my way home tonight and see if it keeps up with me. Not saying it is perfect, but for people to say the GPS is not improved is too blanket a statement to make, given that I for one have seen improvement. Whether this will die out with use again remains to be seen, but even with previous fixes I never saw more than maybe 6 satellites (certainly never that many in use) and could rarely get a lock. Now getting locks down to 16 feet each time I try it.
[Captivate General] devangxda:
Thanks for the information. What I meant in point [3] was, that right now my phone is locked to AT&T (I cannot use T-Mobile or other service). For this I will need the SIM/Phone lock opened using Unlock Code (which I have). I will back to my home country in a month at which time I will have to have the phone unlocked so that I can use services there. So my question was should I first unlock the phone (while being on Stock 2.1.) or it is okay to upgrade to Froyo and later on I unlock it. I am just apprehensive if Stock Froyo from AT&T has something that prevents the phone from being unlocked.
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 with the root untouched. WOW. That didn't.happen to me
[Captivate General] KMan94:
When I first ran kies, it checked for an update and updated itself to _6
[Captivate General] BabyJay:
So here's the problem...My cousin has the captivate on 2.1. She swore that when i rooted the phone, it fixed the random shut-offs the phone was doing. Now I think it has been at least 2 to 3 months now and she's complaining that it's shutting off again randomly. I just did the lagfix maybe a week ago and that calmed her down a little since the phone ran much faster. I decided to do a quadrant test and the damn phone scored an amazing 2022 (well compared to my dell streak on 2.2 rooted - the best quadrant score i've got was an 850). Is that score normal on the lagfix? Anyway, I told her there is an update for her phone and she told me to do it. My question is, will the update delete everything on her phone (SMS, photos, contacts, music)?

Sorry if the question has been asked already. It's kinda hard looking for a specific question when there is 62 pages of great information after only 2 days. I've read just the first 10 pages and last 5 pages and my eyes were beginning to hurt.
[Captivate General] wckdknight:
i was wondering if you guys could tell me how to delete the tethering manager i rooted my phone already just dont know how to delete it thanks in advance

[Captivate General] bdpyo:
So I went into an Att store today to check out the Atrix and get a mini sim card for the iPhone 4.

I asked about the update and the employe told me he did his update OTA. I said you are a liar, he then went on to say do it on wifi, I tried on 3G.

So right there I did a hard reset in the store, walked to mcdonalds to use their wifi and came back to show him it failed. He wouldn't say any anything because he knew he was wrong and his co workers looked at him funny.

Long story short he was a d bag and I got my mini sim. :)
[Captivate General] ldsskier:
I was able to update to 2.2 on a windows 7 professional 64bit machine. Somebody else suggested that I uninstall MSIE 9 prior to doing so and I did but cannot verify that this made a difference.

Uninstall *ALL* versions of both kies and mini kies before starting the update and reboot the machine. Do you have the official set of instructions that includes the putting the phone in download mode?
[Captivate General] ldsskier:
When you install and run kies mini it grabs the latest version from the server.

The update process is very picky, you have to follow it without any deviation.
[Captivate General] ldsskier:
The shovel icon will never go away from what I saw. When you are at that stage of the process you will see your computer do a few things while displaying a couple of messages then stop doing anything and will just state at you with a dumb look on its screen. When my computer did that I just moved on to the next step in the instructions and all was well.

YMMV, not responsible for bricking, etc - I don't claim to know what I'm talking about, I only know what I saw.
[Captivate General] TommyZee:

[Captivate General] shadow65781:
Here is my story

After 2 evenings, 4 hrs each of failed attempts on multiple machines, I even got creative a few times and tried to brick the damn thing, couldn't brick it.

I called att the usual bs then they told me that there was no update for captivate. I let it go and called samsung. 3 hours on the phone later, I am sending the phone to them and they will flash it or repair. The fail part comes after software download when phone goes into dl mode windows message, the usb device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. At least 10 trys. I've tried 4different machines. Even tried it on a 64 bit system. Also tried reg. Kies. Read instructions multiple times. How can something that doesn't seem that complicated., be so, well complicated.

Anyway I'm done when I get it back its already sold. I will never ever own another samsuck product of any kind again. Ever UGHH.
