Since I've seen some people saying they have problems with the newest Kies update, I thought it would be a good a idea to make a a new thread with the link to make it easier to find.
Here's the latest version of the full Kies program that fully works with the Captivate. Newer versions don't work since they removed support for Cappys.
Download: Kies 1.5.3.10093_82
Thanks... I still use 1.51 or something because I didn't want the support for cappy to be lost.

Anybody got Flash Player to work yet? I've downloaded the flash_for_2.1.apk, installed it as a plugin but neither the browser nor OperaMini seems to use it.
I tried this apk as well... same results. I guess we'll need to wait for an different version to" arrive".
yeah its buggy as hell and flashlite doesn't work well.
if you need basic flash support, use skyfire
From what I read, installing Flash 10.1 on Android 2.1 does absolutely nothing. I read through huge threads of people trying to figure out if it did, but they were getting confused because they already had Flash Lite 4 which shows up as 10.1 in Adobe's about page.
All we have for now is whatever version of Flash Lite we have (3.x I think). Past that we have to wait for 2.2 to get a better flash player. I've yet to see someone actually get 10.1 working on 2.1, and I don't think it will ever happen since Adobe has said they use APIs available in 2.2 only. I don't know if you can update Flash Lite to get at least a little better experience, but I didn't find anything with a quick search.
I upgraded my GTablet with a "leaked" version of the new software upgrade but now I want to update to the "official" version. Unfortunately my device won't recognize that there is an update available even when I run the updates app to look for one.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
I hear VS may be making a recovery image available for those who have modded their GTab's beyond repair...but in the meantime, I'm curious how others are addressing this issue.
If the leaked version was the 3389 update then that is the official version. Otherwise I believe their official website has the 3389 update.
This is a link to the 3389 update that Roebeet posted

I had been unable to get OTA updates since Nov 19. I read on another thread how a user downloaded the 3053 update manually and then his OTA started working again. So I gave it a try and sure enough it fixed my problem. In fact I have gone back to this version twice just to reset my G-Tab to stock. I have not mod'd my unit. I have flash, market and Rothnic enhancement pack.
Hope this helps
Roebeet listed all of the official TNT downloads here.

*rothnic has a new enhancement pack v2 that will not erase your stock files. It will increase the speed a little bit..

Interesting...
The only problem is, Kies doesn't work for everyone and NO ONE can use the newest version. At least not with the Cappy. I can use it but I used a early version.
Kies = crap
Im sure its been asked before.. but how come it wont play? Do i need a new flash update? Says it doesnt support my phone or some crap
I'm thinking the best place to ask that question would be in the ROM thread.
I'm using MikFroyo 4.4 and it was working fine. The initial fix was to the FlashPlayer.apk. There has been a recent update to FlashPlayer on the market, if you downloaded that update, that would probably cause it to not work anymore. Try uninstalling the update (if its even installed).
it was actually working just fine with the flash in 4.4 but they have since put out 1-2 new updates to Flash since then, and it broke my Hulu also. Uninstalling the updates made it work again!
Hulu blocks mobile devices. People have been getting around this by tricking the site into thinking it's a windows device by hex editing the .so file. I haven't been able to locate the most recent edited version of Flash but the previous version has been posted on XDA.
I just flashed MikFroyo today and the Hulu works on mine.... I havent updated the Flash that I know of..

Easiest way to watch Hulu is to use the app that Mik included with the rom. After you choose video you want to view, make sure you click the hourglass when the window appears.
If you are trying to use your browser to use hulu.com, you need to change your browser settings to NOT view as a mobile website, and it should work fine as well!
Also, I am pretty sure if you update Flash from the Market you will lose the hulu mod.
Hope this helps!
Downloaded kies mini for giggles. Always had to jump through hoops and never seemed to work on Win 7 x64. Had luck with it on Win XP. But I don't have that XP laptop anymore. So I figured I would give it a try on 7 x64 and it worked first time!!!! Any ways I was wondering about version number for Kies mini. Mine downloaded as Kies_Mini_For_Captivate_11011_4.exe and the version number in Kies is v1.0.0.11.00_4. Curious if this is a newer or same as everybody else who that froyo was coming our way?
Thanks.
Edit: Now it's updating to 1.0.0.11014_6
Kies mini automatically updates when you start it, so everyone would be at the same version number. I personally never had any luck with it since my pc was weird and would shut off the wireless card whenever my phone was plugged in.
I have had mixed results with full version of Kies in Win7 64. Older versions still work with stock/rooted ROMS up to JH7, but would not recognize phone with first leaked froyo back in OCT/NOV. Kies found its own update and I allowed upgrade, but it then would no longer recognize phone on stock/rooted ROMs.
Kies Mini regardless of version and complete removal of all traces of Kies Full may have recognized my phone once. Now I get MSC Thunder errror and request from windows to search for solution to no avail. I have tried multiple versions of Kies Mini.
I primarily use Kies for Syncing with OUTLOOK contacts and was able to recognize Captivate on Andromeda 1.1 as 9010 and able to sync. After having some autorotate and voice quality issue with Andromeda I OneClickODIN back to stock JF6 and Master Cleared and Full Kies found JH7 available, but when I attempted to update to it Kies said it wasn't able to proceed? On stock JF6 my phone found OTA today but after first reboot it told me update was not performed. Wonder if phone is hanging on to root despite OneClickOdin to stock JF6 from DesignGears?
You gave me a brief lapse of hope. I updated to the latest kies mini and still no luck on connecting with win7 x64.
Good to hear it's working for you!

sola fide, I did the update and was able to connect to the phone with my win7 x64 no problem. With the prior version, I need to launch Kies a couple of times while moving the phone through different usb ports, not this time.
My issue with Kies is that I have my phone rooted, running cog 3.04, and Kies will say on the line for the current phone version, that my phone cannot be updated, or something like that. I guess that if I want to get the official Froyo from ATT, I will need to "odin" back my way to stock, unless we find a workaround in the forum or better, if DG can update cog with the ATT Froyo stock.
I am so confused. I installed Andromeda 1.2 and the same Kies Mini I installed on my Win7 64 machine that crashed each time I hooked of SAME Captivate with stock JF6 and JH7..........recognized the phone perfectly as the I897, but obviously no update available.
Full version recognizes Andromeda 1.1 Captivate as I9010? Go figure!
