I do believe your right, that is exactly what people are doing. The thing is, is that we still don't know what AT&T still has up there sleeve, they could be working on a GPS fix right now and just wanted to save it for the after release of FROYO and include the GPS fix in 2.2.1? It's a possibility. We finally got what we want guys, don't look like a bunch of selfish people and chew them out for finally pulling through!
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
are you using Kies Mini or Kies full?
[Captivate General] PlutoISaPlanet:
that's ridiculous. This is crap they should have addressed months ago and are missing the boat... again
[Captivate General] PlutoISaPlanet:
The only thing I'm interested in this is for is the audio port on the car dock. Does anyone know if there's a custom ROM that has that working yet?
[Captivate General] rnewton01:
I'm guessing that the dev forum is going to have an influx of people wanting to flash custom ROM's over the couple weeks.. all these people who have been waiting for froyo aren't going to be fully content with the quality of this update. that's what happened with me. can't wait for the source to be released and see what kind of ROM's come out of it.
[Captivate General] rdunseith:
Mine crashed the first time also. Switched back to Samsung touchwiz launcher and it worked. Also make sure your battery is at 80% or better.

EDIT: Had to turn off usb debugging also.
[Captivate General] rdunseith:
I got a 40m lock in 4 secs on a really rainy and dreary day here in Missouri. But I never really had a problem with my GPS.
[Captivate General] tamon77:
I am using Mini
[Captivate General] nakedninja42:
Cog4 has Audio out from USB in Dock... no voodoo sound support yet though :( give it some time
[Captivate General] WD333:
I downloaded and installed the Samsung PC Studio software and tried to update again but it failed. But I didn't get the Gadget Serial message this time. I rebooted my computer and phone and am trying again right now. Will keep you posted.
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
try reinstalling the drivers with the ones from samsung and try the update again.

Captivate drivers from Samsung
[Captivate General] spyda54:
IMHO

Your forgetting that ATT doesn't want to push the iphone down to third place, yes both the inspire 4g and captivate(custom rom) are much faster (tested on att network connection and wifi connection). As for Samsung, it will probably be a minute before you see faster processors, so you lag the system to continue to get people to buy upgrades with a "faster" performance. Otherwise we would wait until they died before upgrading...IMHO
[Captivate General] Stephenv1971:
I didn't actually ***** in the forum but yah. Tried it, saw it still didn't measure up to my custom and went back to my custom. I guess some of us really want our expectations to be wrong.
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
You don't use PC Studio. Kies Mini is what your supposed to use.

Download Samsung Kies Mini
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
I feel like most of the "rom flashers" have some sort of animosity towards people wanting the official froyo update... Not everyone wants to flash... to each his own.... Yes I'm glad you enjoy your rom, but let people want what they want.
[Captivate General] Beretta1526:
Checked against my HTC Aria (rooted with Liberated ROM) and it seems to be working about the same. I never had any major issues with GPS, but I guess I haven't ever had a GPS in a phone that worked as well as the GPS in my Inspire. I got a lock inside the house in less than five seconds. Although, I think there is a big difference when there is a SIM in the phone and it's on the AT&T network to get an idea where it is in the first place to know what sat's to look for.

.
[Captivate General] WD333:
No, I know that @rpicaso. I was just telling @kb0npw how I got rid of the Gadget Serial popup message I got was updating through the Kies mini software.
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
Yup, to each his own lol. I think most of the people that want stock just want what they paid for to begin with, and should have had back in september. As far as animosity, I think it's actually an animosity towards AT$T and Sammy that sometimes comes across as being directed at the stock users. just my opinion.:p
[Captivate General] spyda54:
as a rom flasher, I fully agree with you, lol
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
Cool. Was just makin sure. Did you get it connected?
[Captivate General] DoctorQMM:
Did this update blow out the root?

Can anyone provide an update if they left phone rooted and was still able to download from KIES? If so, did you have to re-root phone afterward or did it hold root? Thx!
[Captivate General] Beretta1526:
I think the GPS issue is something that AT&T is hoping will just fix itself. It's odd though, as I've never had many issues with GPS in mine unless I was just on WiFi.

As for updates beyond this, the OTA update wasn't functional in 2.1. They restricted it and required a valid SIM in the phone, but it still didn't work. Never did. This 2.2 build will hopefully fix that, but I'm not pulling the SIM out of my Inspire to find out just yet. The "Software Update" feature in Settings still requires a valid SIM, but it now won't even allow you into the menu to try to check without it now.

.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
True. I know prob 99% of the people on xda cappy forums are mad at att/sammy. Not all the "rom flashers" are rude about it. Some, like yourself, are actually here to help. Thanx btw.
[Captivate General] WD333:
@kb0npw - It looks like installing the Samsung PC Studio fixed my Gadget Serial issue. I installed it, rebooted my computer and tried the update again via Kies Mini. It updated and my phone it rebooting right now. So I'm hoping it was a success. The link to PC Studio is below:

http://www.samsungmobileusa.com/advocatedownloads/resources/PC Studio_setup_IC8.exe
[Captivate General] kb0npw:
Thanks so much. Let me know if you end up figuring it out. With my Hughes Net plan, I only get 225 megs a day, and then I have to buy a token for 5 bucks. The first try used up my bandwidth and I used my free monthly token. If this keeps failing, it could get expensive. It wouldn't be so bad if Kies wouldn't have to re-download the stupid binary every time, which takes nearly an hour for me on Hughes Net. :mad:
[Captivate General] WD333:
Yep, it looked like it worked! Thanks! :)
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
Awesome! Enjoy your frozen goodies!
[Captivate General] mxracer846:

Some people have posted that if you have IE9 installed it will crash Kies, I didn't believe it but its true, I uninstalled IE9 and Kies started working and downloaded my update with no problems. Now that update is done I will probably reinstall IE9
[Captivate General] bames:
mobileap/tether disabled stock. if you select it tries to verify and fails.

bye bye tetheringmanager10114.apk
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
my sig says all
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
You're Welcome. :D
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
Damn man, sorry to hear that. Good luck.
[Captivate General] xhozt:
huh? had to add tetheringmanager10114.apk?
[Captivate General] hrishi2das:
Same with me, Kies was crashing with IE9 RC installed. As soon as I uninstalled IE9, Kies Mini was working. When I checked (yesterday night), there was no update so did not update.

Will do so soon.
[Captivate General] bames:
no you will need to remove it from /system/apps

Confirmed working.
[Captivate General] rrieter:


Certainly no animosity on my part. I completely respect you right to do whatever you want with your phone. Just relaying the fact that it's not complicated and I have found it beneficial. If I had known that earlier, I would have flashed earlier.
[Captivate General] tamon77:
Still does not work
[Captivate General] shadow65781:
I'm at work. Can't wait to get home tonight and finally get froyo on my backup phone.

I knew it would be out this week because I bought the inspire last week. lol
[Captivate General] tamon77:
Also tried on 32 bit Windows running IE8 = Same result. MTP device driver fail install
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Thanks much. This worked well. As is the case with 3e stock recovery, I had to use 3e_recovery_no_sig_check to be able to get CWR working. (it replaces the \system\bin\recovery file).
[Captivate General] attgalaxyScap:
Was anyone able to root running on Froyo yet?
[Captivate General] ZephCr:
I had success in updating while rooted. I just tried to use my wireless tether and it said that I need to be rooted, there's your answer. Now do I have to wait for an updated rooting method or can I do it the same way I did with 2.1?
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Just finished using this for root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

and then using the 3e_recovery_no_sig_check (replacement file) to get clockwork recovery in on that 3e stock recovery.

Allow Non Market Apps fix in this SuperOneClick works. Needs a reboot after running.

Next up: Lagfix.

And yes, I do have too much time on my hands. How better to serve as a guinea pig? :-D
[Captivate General] tamon77:
Finally got it to work ... had to use 32 bit machine with IE8.

Opened Kies and hooked up captivate in debugger mode. That was the only way.

Let's see if the update works now
[Captivate General] rjblack11:
this happens when you plug in your phone to pc?

edit: good job.
[Captivate General] attgalaxyScap:
Thanks for the heads up on that. I can't wait to get off work now.
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
so it was the IE9 thing?
[Captivate General] blongs:
So far no problems

I backed up my apps yesterday and flashed to stock, installed 2.2 via Kies today, rooted using Super1click, installed titanium backup and reinstalled all apps. So far have had no problems.

Also GPS seems to be working well for me, 5 meter lock indoors. But you must be patient because the first time takes forever to get a lock and after that seems ok.
[Captivate General] kb0npw:
@WD333 thanks for the link! I just installed PC Studio and rebooted the machine. Going through the download process again with fingers crossed. This one's gonna cost me a 5 spot thanks to Hughes Net and their "Fair Access Policy".
[Captivate General] shanghei:
Can you unlock 2.2 with super on click?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
I am glad to see those that wanted it got it. Now no more where is froyo threads, I look forward to hearing what you guys think of it.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
Has anyone tried any sort of lagfix yet?
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
Where's 2.2.1? ;-)
[Captivate General] ballz0iron:
do you honestly have nothing better to do than be an asshat on the forums....

some cappy owners are retarded.... but, the rest of us understand that what the devs have done is greater than anything sammy or att will ever put out and have just ignored this date other than hopes of source dropping.....
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
Now we can be bombarded with all the when are we gonna get Gingerbread threads.:p
[Captivate General] djad09:
Can someone add steps how to get wifi tethering back without it verifying and turning off the feature?
[Captivate General] mrmeany:
Updated using Full Kies

I went ahead and updated using kies full (ver 1.5.3.10093_82) as I didn't want to put the mini version on my laptop (32 bit windows 7 pro). Everything worked fine. Kies showed me the update and ran it smoothly. Phone is up and working running Froyo. Was stock before upgrade.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
True but that was never promised by att or samsung so......
[Captivate General] rdunseith:
My Froyo 2.2 update lasted about an hour and a half. Realized how much I hate the stock rom and went back to Serendipity. I did like the Desk Home app though.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
repost sorry***
[Captivate General] thewiseguy:
So the update to Froyo was a success but just wondering were you guys able to pick up your phone and play around with it right away, or did you leave it alone for a bit after the update because im having issues with my phone being extremely sluggish now, so im wondering if its just me experiencing this

edit: another issue i seem to be having is whenever the phone locks after a bit, i can't unlock it.....hoping theres a solution to this

btw i unrooted my phone last night before doing the upgrade so dunno if theres anything else that i have to do, didnt flash any roms onto my phone either...just tried calling my phone also while it was locked and it didnt even ring :-(
[Captivate General] oninjagaiden:
the official update is the same as cognition 4(UCKB1) so is it better to just flash Cog 4 to fix the wireless tethering and get rid of the bloatware?
[Captivate General] blongs:
Not sure, I don't unlock my phone
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
yup

you guys waited and ranted for nothing
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
It's all about personal preference. But Cog 4 or any custom ROM will be a hell of a lot faster than this stock froyo.
[Captivate General] ballz0iron:
thats okay, we will be running a reoriented 2.3 in the not so distant future. there is alot of work being put into it. I think people will realize that we do not need the sammy updates after flashing this update. realizing it is poop. and going back to their respective custom roms
[Captivate General] Barsky:
That will take samsung at least another 6-9 months.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
What does it feel like being the only dickhead out of 36 pages of thread?!
[Captivate General] CatFan:
IE9 does work in some cases with Kies mini. I've had my Cappy since August and haven't been able to get the phone and Kies mini to see each other. I installed IE9 the other day and this morning just to prove it still doesn't work I installed Kies mini and what do you know...It sees my phone now! Apparently it doesn't like doing the update with Perception installed since it just tells me it can't upgrade this phone but at least I finally got Kies mini to see the phone. Not bad after what, 6 months! I was hoping to hear someone say the GPS worked after the upgrade. That would have been my only reason to go to stock. Hopefully the Devs will have a ROM based on official source soon that has the GPS working better.
[Captivate General] sethjamto:
Mine is running GREAT on 2.2.1 and my GPS locks in seconds IN MY HOUSE!

.....oh.....because I'm on SERENDIPITY 5.11!!

To each their own, but I HIGHLY recommend flashing a custom ROM if you want speed and properly working phones!
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Ok guys this is the last post of this kind I want to see.

Some people that wanted this yelled for months, now that it is released let those that want it talk about it in this thread. IF you were on a custom rom before the update I have no doughts that you will flash back to it soon enough, those that remained stock will enjoy some of the updates for sure (hell I loved having froyo over eclair when I first put it on my cap). So there will be no flaming.
[Captivate General] 1meanrex:
well my gps still sucks, so much for an update... oh well inspire here i come.
[Captivate General] WD333:
@kb0npw - Hope it works for you! Mine's up and running and feeling a little snappier. Sorry about the fiver that it cost you!
[Captivate General] tmanonyx:
Follow this thread and watch the video for the "SuperOneClick" method for root.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/11/how-to-root-your-android-phone-superoneclick-method/

I followed this and it worked.
[Captivate General] Barsky:
For me GPS sucked on the first boot after update. Rebooting again and it was acting more like in the ROMs I've used, where it was long ago improved. Give that a shot. good luck
[Captivate General] KewlRobD:
UnInstall IE9
[Captivate General] thewiseguy:
tried doing a battery pull.....its still going very sluggish...can't see my contacts or text messages it FC's everytime i try to open them...i can get to my settings for a while before even that FC's.....its getting kind of frustrated and i have to work in 2 hours hopefully its working by then
[Captivate General] trevorgarmont:
With all the chefs spending lots of time on cooked ROMs that are better than anything stock will ever be why would I load this bloated at&t froyo? lol

[Captivate General] Barsky:
I used to try this one in an older version when it only used rageagainstthecage. I found it usually just looped and didn't work worth a damn. This new version has the choice of psneuter and it worked flawlessly.
[Captivate General] kb0npw:
Glad to hear it is working for you! Mine failed again, but it was during the download phase. I'm just gonna stick all the necessary stuff on a jump drive and head to a friend's house where I can have faster download speed and more bandwidth. This is getting to be a mess with Hughes Net.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You need factory reset your phone.
[Captivate General] :
Well I got it installed and rooted. I can't get anything installed via recovery. CWM fails. If I try to do just update.zip it fails. How do I turn signing off.
[Captivate General] Barsky:
You won't be able to get clockworkmod recovery installed until you do the stock 3e recovery patch. 3e_recovery_no_sig_check.

it's a signature checking issue. Requires root and the file in there replaces the "recovery" file in \system\bin
[Captivate General] aloant:
Something seems to have messed up my phone... When I start it up, I see the AT&T animation, followed up 1 second of the Samsung animation, and then blank screen. All this time, there's a vibrating pattern:

buzz

buzz buzz buzz

(continously)

Anyone know what this is?
[Captivate General] fooldog01:
Im pretty happy with this update thus far. I was a ROM flashing maniac with my HTC Fuze and honestly just didn't want to get back into that with Android just yet. It can become quite compulsive and time consuming!

Give me about 2 months now with stock Froyo and I will probably start digging into some of the ROMs built off this source. Thanks for the great community everyone!!
[Captivate General] :
I can't find anything on here that says how to do it.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
That is something force closing on boot up. Flash back to stock and master clear and then run the update again, something didnt get over written.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Do a search for 3e recovery patch and that will lead you to what you are looking for. Until it is patched you wont be able to flash anything by recovery. Stock Kernel......gotta love it:D
[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
Does the new Froyo have bluetooth voice dialing?
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
::agree:: I've been noticing that people with no issues are first going back to stock.
[Captivate General] shinji257:
For anyone wondering...

SuperOneClick 1.7 worked for me to root this device as well as enable non-marketplace apps. Use the psneuter exploit if you are not sure.

If it locks up first try then kill the program. Make sure to kill off any adb processes. Then open the app and try again.

For verification you can make sure that SuperUser is installed. In addition if you have adb already installed do 'adb shell' then do 'su' and watch for the prompt. If you get the prompt you are golden.

For non-marketplace apps make sure you reboot the phone. It doesn't take effect until you do that. I made sure that was working by installing an apk copy of iheartradio on my phone and that worked fine. Previous to that it was blocked (again after format).

P.S. - I was already on stock but I just did a factory reset (sim already removed) then rebooted. The only thing left was superuser and I guess that was from the root that I did earlier. Upgrade went smooth (or as smooth as can be) and it wiped the partitions. It came up and gave a bunch of formatting lines and I noted superuser was gone after reboot.
[Captivate General] shanghei:
Samsung FAIL 2.2 audio out on dock still dont work for me
[Captivate General] bdpyo:
I wonder if this update will ever go OTA.... :(
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Even if it did I wouldn't suggest it. JH7 OTA bricked quite a few phones, mine included.

Lesson learned. XDA dev roms are what go on my phone now. Not bloated, gimped and buggy official ones.
[Captivate General] cerowand:
Has anyone tried to root using AIO Captivate Toolbox 2.5 from the dev section?
[Captivate General] ArkieMD:
Of course they would release froyo the one day that I forgot to bring my USB cable to work. :D
[Captivate General] krips2003:
Its because the source is not released yet.
[Captivate General] uhmump95:
Finally! I can't wait! After I get this update, I will go out start flashing roms. Was waiting for the AT&T to drop the official and will get the fixed versions once our devs get finished.
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
Sooooo.... if an update is released OTA, is this an automated process (ie, we get a message), or are these updates forced to the phones?
[Captivate General] bames:
i don't think its being pushed OTA. From my understanding you will have to update via kies.
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
Cool-That's actually what I was hoping for.
[Captivate General] shadow65781:
Figures, I bought the inspire last Saturday.
[Captivate General] sethjamto:
I think I'll stick with Serendipity 5.11 for a while. I'm loving this ROM and don't want to "downgrade" to the official, bloatware full, buggy stock rom, even if it IS FROYO.

I may play around with the custom ROM world more after the devs have some time to play with this new release! Until the......SERENDIPITY FOR ME! ;-)
[Captivate General] MickeyCee:
LOL and I was finally going to finally root and do my first flash tomorrow...guess not now! :D
[Captivate General] jangeles323:
I'm going to stick to my pheonix rising 5.2 rom running 2.2.1 instead of downgrading to the bloatware that the stock froyo has...
[Captivate General] cdwhit:
Sorry, ATT and Samsung have lost ALL credability with me. I'll believe it if and when I see it and hear it works. From my experience with support so far, I wouldn't be surprised if they claim bricked phones from the update are exempted from waranty because of "modifications".
[Captivate General] Clyzm:
Meh, Serendipity is already superior to Samsung Froyo in every way, and CM7 will probably get ported before Samsung gets around to porting Gingerbread.
[Captivate General] ricethief:
At least you didn't go out and buy a new phone yet like alot of other people.

You will have to reroot again after the update
[Captivate General] Neckrobeard:
Meh I'll stick with Serendipity.
[Captivate General] macguyvok:
Yeah, I would have been interested in this update... two months ago. But I've moved on to other roms, and frankly, I don't see how the official rom can even come close.

That being said, as soon as there's a root for it, I'll upgrade to it. Morbid curiosity, and all that.

Here's hoping the quality of the roms shoots up because of this...
[Captivate General] bdpyo:
**** my life.

gonna flash to stock jf6 tommarow. can someone help me out with a download link for kies and what I need to do while I have access to a PC?

I will only have access for like 2 hours :(

you would help me out sooooo much!
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I'd hold off if I were you. I've seen a number of posts from people who were unable to access OTA updates after doing an Odin. From what I've read this morning it isn't yet known if this update will be OTA or Kies Mini.
[Captivate General] bobbylx:
Samsungjohn twittered its kies only update.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
And one of the links I read in another thread quoted AT$T saying it would be OTA. Go figure.:rolleyes:
[Captivate General] t-readyroc:
Ditto man. :cool:
[Captivate General] bdpyo:
So I'm screwed either way? Lol
[Captivate General] zelendel:
No that is a 2.2.1 feature not 2.2

Lets hope that it doesnt or there will be plenty of bricks around like with the jh7 update that bricked thousands of devices due to server overloads, corrupted downloads, as well as other issues.

Yup me to. It bricked all 10 of the devices I had tried the update on for work, yeah boss was ticked lmao
