This doesn't mean that its the official froyo update. Hahahah Thats funny though.
Everyday someone gets a text about an update. Everyday someone posts a thread declaring that the new Froyo update is out right now for download. Everyday its just another text about JH7. Everyday I bang my head against my keyboard and wonder why people are so quick to post without knowing what they are talking about. Not to mention why they thought this was a development topic.
Oh boy here we go again.
Here we go again. I'm more interested in gb now anyway.

how many of these threads do we need lol.
This is like the 20th thread i have seen of the exact same post =)
God! And I get excited when I see something like this in Dev! Erg, I should know better by now! But like others said, JH7 ota, we'll know when froyo rolls out.
/close&delete thread before this gets out of hand.
Also this belongs in the Q&A or GENERAL forums not Development.
This ia FYI post. but if it does violate, please move it to the correct forum. please. Thanks.

I got those messages as well. Got on AT&T tech support chat to demand specifics. After managing to break through the language barrier and explain to the rep that I know what an OTA update is, but I wanted to know specifically WTH _this specific update_ did, she gave me this link: (edit forums won't let me post links, but it was a link to the android 2.2 sdk download...) and said that link would explain what was contained in the update that they were getting ready to push to my phone. Do I think she had any idea what she was talking about? Absolutely not.

This is just a little announcement... I am feeling really fuzzy inside because this device now has it's own forum! Oh let the development commence!
I agree very exciting, I don't think anyone knows yet spread the word.

As you were the thread starter on the Mega thread, could add a link to the new section in your OP there for Newbies to find steering them over to this new section? Maybe update that thread title a bit to help redirect folks? It just got so big though some of us have followed and read all along, I think at this point it's not really worth it for New folks... also they may quickly get turned off as thread starts mostly finding the original problems
With all the news surrounding the Vibrant and Epic 4G's source codes being released, I searched that Samsung open source site (I can't post the link since I haven't posted enough) for the Rogers Captivate, model SGH-I896 and low and behold there was a download for Froyo.
I imagine this should help with ROM development.

^This! Don't start jumping down someones throat just because they are new and posted about something that could potentially help the community. There are many ways of letting him/her know that it has already been posted without being douches. This is the reason most people won't post questions that seem dumb to them then they end up bricking their phones.
Sorry for the rant but there are plenty of assholes on here that need to leave (i don't care what they have contributed to the community because if they act like that then I don't want what they make)
PS- this was not directed at anyone in particular, just a general statement.
Wherever you are there is always at least one asshole.
I think confucius might have said that.
Topic was stated.
Clarified that it's been previously posted and discussed.
And close thread.

i ordered captivate knowing there will be nice people to support in this forum but there is none. i posted thread 2 times and both times its deleted without even informing me. i offer people free ps3 games and bluetooth headset still nobody wants to help here with lag fix and downloading rom? worst experience ever.
Sorry..... What?? No help = not asking the right question. You have over 400 posts and have gotten no help?!? weird......
Why would you offer free stuff for help? That just makes you seem like a spammer.
Quit being an idiot, and help yourself.

Wow. This place is self service. Have you tried doing any searches or are you just waiting for someone to help you? Threads rarely get deleted. I'm guessing from your original post that you aren't very good at communicating.
im new here on captivate. do u guys really think i would understand all that rom stuff and kies and stuff i dont even know what they are. i dont even know how to root
If you need help with Captivate related stuff, I can help you out. Shoot me a PM.
At the others, if you don't have anything constructive to say, then better to keep quiet and report the thread.

Captivate is my first android phone. Reading is all I needed to do to get into flashing and custom roms. Rooting can't be any easier with programs like Super One click and the like.

I'm closing it because of all this nonsense talk. I'll repeat what I said above, if you want to be stupid and ridicule the OP rather then lending a hand, then you're better off not posting.
@ the_ahmadzais, probably better off posting in the Q&A.
I am trying to find the gingerbread rom for my husbands Galaxy S. Kind of new at this and will need directions if anyone can lead me in the right direction i'd be very greatful. Thanks in advance.
On a side note, 2.3 is Gingerbread. If you browse the Galaxy S forums, you would be able to find what you need. I went ahead and found the stock one for you.
Just a word of advise, if you are new to installing roms, I would recommend finding someone that knows what they are doing, or you could risk bricking his phone.
thanks although the links didn't show up he wants to be able to watch netflix on his phone of course if there is an easier way to allow him to do that i would be much happier with that. Im just not sure how to go about it i do understand that bricking is possible but i dont' have anyone to do it but me so i kind of stuck

Currently the only way to watch netflix on the gs4g is with Gingerbread 2.3.3.
There is a odin flashable rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146145
Before flashing I would read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
It is not that difficult just make sure to read through the forum and use the search button.
Remember however at this time gingerbread is a leaked build, so it may have some bugs. Future releases will likely fix this but may take some time.
THANKS
Thank you so much for all the info i did flash our HD2's to android but mine is having some issues now and i went to the GS but the screen was to small for me being as i'm almost blind in a sense but i will try this and see if this is what he wants or wants to go back to HD2. Again thanks so much.
you have absolutely no clue what your'e talking about. Please take 1 minute to research next time, and you'll realize there are 2 gingerbread versions on this site.
the fact tha you don't e ven know that 2.3 is gingerbread means you shouldn't even be posting yet
She asked a question. Yes, she could have researched, but you don't have to be so rude about it; especially when corradokng addressed her issue as well as telling her to search next time.
Abie, let us know how it goes. I hope you guys get it working. Check out the netflix threads in the themes section

Today (10/27) I got notified of an OTA on my Skyrocket, and I haven't heard anything about one. I am running 4.0.4, rooted, with CWMR v5.5.0.4.
I did a nandroid backup, backed up all my apps with TB, and set SuperSU to survival mode. Then I let the OTA download, it installed and then it rebooted - into recovery. I continued the reboot from CWMR and when it finished the boot, the OTA said it was interrupted and couldn't finish. I cannot find a zip file on the phone anywhere to manually flash.
Tried this twice with the same result. What is going on? Where did this OTA come from anyway? What should I do? I think rebooting into recovery is interrupting the process somehow, but I am at a loss as to what to do now.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

So this post could've been left at one reply telling the guy that he can't install and should've looked in general. But no, feeling the need to further stomp the guy into the dirt was at the top of the priority list. If you saw someone already make the point, why not report and move on? Saves a lot more time.

I'm not really lazy, I just don't have all day to hang out on a forum like some other people. I told you that I did a quick search and when I couldn't find an answer, I asked a question - in the Q&A section.
Sorry I'm not an expert in everything and ruined your day by asking a question.
You could have just ignored my post, but I guess you needed to prove how superior you are. I'd looked at some of your posts and a lot are like the one above - no help, lots of ego.

In his defense I was able to find an answer to your question on Google fairly quickly, but then again I have no clue what you Googled.
Still, the first reply gave an answer to your question and crazy came in well after that was posted. He didn't have to, yet he went out of his way to make you feel like crap.

OTA Update can not be Done on Rooted phone. Not worth going back to stock for this Little Update. Wait for Jelly Bean....
He didn't make me feel like crap - complete strangers do not do that for me. It's just annoying because posts like that can drive people away.
However, I did feel bad after I realized that there were several other threads on the same topic. I usually make an effort to avoid duplicate posts, but in this case I was in something of a hurry. In any event, I found my answer - I'm not taking the update, it's not worth the effort to go back to stock recovery.
Thanks!

There's a good amount of normal people on here. If the site was how you describe it they shouldn't let anyone who isn't a developer join. "U NO MAKE ROMS OR KERNELS U NO WORTHY OF FORUM" is basically what's spewing from your mouth. Have whoever's in charge kick every single member off of the site if they're not a dev since that's the attitude you wanna have.
Otherwise, stop being such a damn bully and stop giving the site a bad rep. He made a mistake and got his answer. You clicked the thread, saw the answer and still decided to pummel him. That's called "being an asshole".
