I am not familiar with all of the Captivate specific lingo you guys use (I'm an HTC Glacier user) but my good friend has the Captivate - and I was wondering if there is a link I can direct him to so that he can get the leaked ROM? (Official 2.2)
Any help is appreciated.

ROMs made from leaked ROMs (the November and February leaks) are in the Devs section, but with the official version rolling out today he should just go with that.

Thanks. Please let me know if you have any success.
...tried Kies Mini at 11:03am EST and it was working. I've been messing with the phone for the last half hour now and have found that I am pretty happy with the e-mail updates, browser updates, and the fact that the update didn't remove any of the data from my phone that I can tell. I just have to re-organize my home screen and get my icons and widgets the way I like them.

Ask your friend to download Kies Mini software from Samsung support site. Then he connects the phone to it and it will automatically upgrade. ROM image files (which are already leaks a few days ago) are useless to you unless you want to use ODIN tools.

No, bone stock. The Kies Mini was also updated on my machine a few days ago, on the 19th, I think.
As for the update, it went smooth. I cannot find anywhere the update file is on my host machine, as if it used the phone's memory to store it as it downloaded it.
It appears that Samsung was listening to some of the wish list stuff. I almost forgot to check to see if copy/paste was active in Exchange or not, as well as the browser. There is a MUCH improved copy/paste in the web browser, but no copy or text selection in the e-mail prog.
.
Great, I can't wait to try this out at home. Does anyone that has updated to the 2.2 use HeyTell? If so, can you verify if it is working correctly?

Thanks. A Quick search and found everything I need.
so why use official 2.2 when there is better? looks? smooth? better than a custom rom? if not then why are people wasting their time upgrading? not trying to ***** just wondering why the hype when really its almost downgrading.
edit: those of you who like to stay close to stock, i understand why you want to upgrade. its the others that dont make sense.

This thread should probably be merged with the main upgrade thread here, but...
For me, I never bothered to mess with the Captivate. First and foremost, I didn't want to void my warranty. Otherwise, it was just because I didn't feel like messing with it. I have three phones, one of which never has a SIM in it (Captivate). I use mine as a tablet more than anything else. Well, a really small tablet
I'm biding my time until I either get the Infuse or a tablet of some sort. Until then, I don't feel like messing with it. Had the update not worked as quickly and smoothly as it did, I wouldn't have bothered.
.
Please post anything about the 2.2 update in the already opened thread.

Question about the official upgrade
Forgive the noob question, but does anyone know if the official release will unroot your phone using the techniques and software provided by USC? I'm technically savvy but this is still somewhat new to me. I've used Odin to root my phone and upgrade to the unofficial leak. I've had a number of software crashes since. I also found out, since I didn't do proper research before jumping onto the bandwagon, after the fact, that rooting will void the warranty. I'd like to unroot it, but I just need to know if this will do it or if I need to unroot it before I upgrade. Thanks!
And within seconds, I answer my own question
Apparently, it's been reported that the official update will, indeed, unroot your phone as well. Sorry for the wasted space.

If you install the official upgrade with the Odin files it will also "unroot" your phone. I say that because it's just putting a fresh system image on your phone so of course it will be "unrooted". The better option would be to install the pre-rooted version that has the 2e recovery as well so you can install custom ROMs and such.

Here's a link for how the recovery which you will need once you root the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076967&highlight=root . At the beginning of the paragraph, there's a link for "One Click Root".. just follow the instructions, it's pretty simple.
As for EB13, no she does not have it.. her phone is running on EC05 as shown in "Build- FROYO.EC05" which is just a version of Froyo (android 2.2) as is EB13..
Were you going to install a ROM on the phone once it's rooted or..? and if so, do you need to know how to flash the ROMs?
**and for future reference, you might want to try to search the forum.. there are wikis that would have told you what EB13 and EC05 are, and the link for rooting the phone was actually the first result when you search "root" haha.
Just figured I would warn you because some people on here get pretty pissed off when someone posts a new thread about something that they just yelled at 10,000 other people for

and this link roots and installs a recovery?
again thanks sorry for dumb questions
ok, for starters, ec05 is the sprint distributed rom version, as would be eb13, or eh17 or any other 2letter2number codes on the epic forums. i'd stay on ec05, it seems to be the most stable rom/modem combination. you can flash most any rom (including the eh17 leak) from the ec05 rom, and you'll suffer less reboots or problems (unless otherwise stated by the rom developer) as long as you wipe properly. as you seem to be familiar with rooting, remember to make nandroids at any important step. as far as roms, i like the simply aosp and the cm7, but they have no touchwiz or sprint bloatware. if you like that, try srf.
finally, please be respectful of the forum rules and post in the proper place. this should be in q&a
edit: the 'E' stands for the year, 2011, and the 'C' stands for the month, march. this rom was released in march of this year. EC05 was the last official release, and was froyo. anything after EC (ED, EG, EH) are all gingerbread leaks that are less reliable.

EH17 is the lastest Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" leak for the Epic, besides the Froyo ROMs its the most stable.
Yes this will auto root and install recovery. To boot into recovery hold down Power, Camera, volume down.
After you flash the first link I posted, boot up shut down and go back into recovery and flash the second link. after that you should be good to go.
ANd it's cool man but like they said, post in Q and A, no one minds helping though.
**Personally I prefer the Gingerbread leaks over Froyo due to the speed.**

Its been available for I think over 2 months now. ATT just sucks. But yes, there is an official GB update but that update has been on the forums as an unofficial release (KK4) for a long while.

The "official" upgrade is the KK4 build that leaked about 3 months ago. They're exactly the same. So if you've tried the stock KK4 or any KK4-based custom ROM then you've experienced it.
I'm running a KK4-based ROM. It's reasonably stable; however, it's much smoother and (for me) more stable if you flash the most recent Corn kernel (7.06) on top of it.

There are two threads in this forum just below this one that provide all the info and files you need. Take a look. Worked for me ( and thanks to OPs for that). Flash gb, then a kernel that gives you root. I tried a few, like corn 7x best. Were not any one clicks out there for gb root a month ago, may not be yet.

There are no one click methods that I know of. You really should learn to use Odin. Its not hard at all and opens alot of doors as to what you can do with your phones. I mean, its laid out step by step in that thread. Just follow instructions. I imagine we all can do that.

I couldn't find anything based on an Unroot thread, as well as some generalized questions.
SOMETIMES, phone devs, and the carriers, put out patches that actually correct some ugly known issues. Correct me if i'm wrong, but if i root, i'm led to believe i can not download carrier patches and updates.
My concern is If I root and there's by chance some JESUS patch that is issued that corrects reception issues, power cycle, etc. Is there a way to unroot the device.
First post by the way, go easy.
Edit: OH also, I forgot to mention, from what im reading around 2.3.6 seems to be the current version out for at&t however i'm only on 2.3.5 i've tried pushing the update by checking through settings>updates. It's telling me however that there aren't any available? Or did they pull the update for some reason?

Devs here are working on getting it for us but its a work in progress and you wont see anything out for it for a while. As stated above read read read before you do anything with your phone. I lurked here for a month before i did anything with mine.

Isn't that just a 2.3.5 build with a ICS-like skin over it?

Found a YouTube video but it was the wrong phone, mistook the captivate for the skyrocket. My fault sorry about that.

Be careful and read before you do anything to your phone.
If you're still not sure what to do, ask.
Asking a dumb question is better than having a bricked phone.

Thank you again for your advice
I used this root method (zergrush), and it was very simple and straightforward.
