Froyo Released? - Captivate General

I know the last thing we need is another FROYO thread. But my question is, isnt the 2.1 Update1 the latest thing out for our phones? If so why did my phone say that their was an update. My phone downloaded it but then it said that the update wasn't saved. I think it wasn't saved due to me being rooted. So if I'm correct their is an update out there and what should I do to remove my root.

For hopefully the LAST time in 2010.
The txt message announcing an update is for JH7. If your phone is rooted, you will get the message from time to time.

Yea, it won't let me update to it. I guess I shouldn't update then lol. will the baseband version give away that i'm rooted to a samsung rep?

I got the same message today at 5:05pm. Kies Mini shows the update available, but i am running Cognition 2.4.1.
Should i go back to 2.1 and try it? Or should i just assume that it's the normal update?

My Kies says that my phone is up to date. I would not rush and wait until there is real evidence.

Yup...seems like every other day this comes up.
All I can say is if your running the JH7 2.1 build..try it and see. If your running any custom rom..then it is most likely want you to update back to JH7 2.1 build.

This is not the Froyo update. Please stop making threads about it!
I got them also, assumed not 2.2 so I ignored them ;-)

AT&T has no idea what firmware you are using.
So anybody try it?

If you mean has anyone tried the update pushed by AT&T, then the answer is yes. It's just the latest 2.1 available from AT&T.

Update?

Decided to check for updates and there finally appeared to be one so I started the download & it took about 10mins or less then it asked to install so I hit ok then it said it would restart the phone. I was excitedfor about 10 seconds until I noticed everything was still the same and it said no update was applied at this time... Was this an official update n if so is there a way to apply it without having to wait on the 24hr update timer?

Sorry to say but I don't know much users here who use the stock 2.1 Eclair unless they are returning their phones. As much as I know, everyone here hates how Samsung and AT&T leave their customers out in the cold for updates and any information on upcoming updates. Maybe someone else here will give you an answer hopefully.

Go to your Settings/applications/all and clear cache for I believe is the dm app....them reboot and you should be able to check again.
Sorry I can't tell you exactly but I'm not running stock.

got it thanks. its re-downloading now. i figure its updating to the old Build Number ECLAIR.UCJH7 because since i reset a few days back, getting rid of a rom I noticed it just says Build Number: ECLAIR
and my baseband version is I897UCJF6. used to be ucjh7
You must have been excited, seeing how you posted to XDA that there's an update before you knew what was what...

Date at the top of that is 11/02/2011.
On a side note, the middle section where it says, "If you have downloaded & upgraded previously with Kies Mini, an automatic update to build 11011_4 may occur." I just started Mini Kies and it updated to 11014_6 so maybe there is something to it.
For some reason, link is not showing any information. Any idea?

Someone at Samsung realized people were getting excited again, and the update isn't coming out anytime soon. Just a guess though.

Man...
Still failed install after the download over the air. so i did it through kies mini and it was .ucjh7
I wouldnt have gotten so excited if i paid attention to my notes that i had ucjh7 pre-flash and just "eclair" post factory default reset. Yet somehow still had a glimmer of hope that 2.2 would update after ucjh7, assuming one has to be installed b4 the other/in order. Sort of annoying the link was taken down about the Q/A on 2.2 being available. I just clicked the circle to vote "very dissatisfied" hah
Im still planning to trade mine in for the atrix if its in store by 3/9.. If not, I havent quite decided what other path I will take...

New mini Kies (1.0.0.11051_4)

Just found this this a.m. Might mean 2.3.3 is rolling out soon.

No... wait for the Facebook update like last time lol. If it is anything else, it could be 2.2 update 1 (throwing out numbers) that has the Unknown Sources option for 2.2. ATT announced after Amazon App Store came out that they were going to fix that for all phones.
Or... it could just be a needed update for Kies

Hmm. I believe you. I usually fire up mini first thing in the morning and this is the first time it updated (to this version).
Is there another source for the mini Kies other than having it look for updates when first loaded?
I believe this update came out two days ago and its just android 2.2 still, not 2.3. I tested it right before updating to the leaked gingerbread.
Hmmmm... Still nothing updating on my laptop. Still on 11001_4. I also would be interested in a direct download link.

Opened Kies and it updated itself to x51_4. When i plugged my phone in, it said, "firmware version: unsupported device" I'm running the stock Froyo release.
does the new version of kies work with Infuse 4G?

just got an OTA ... how can i check what it is ?

not sure how to do it on the infuse ?

If it were an official GB update devs would have came all over this section and it would be a sticky, white mess. And then a bunch of little kids would come in a month and say "HOLY POOPCRAP BROZ I JUS GOT N UPDAYT!!!!!11!"

Well this post has little life so far, perhaps no dev have seen it yet? Don't know, I guess I am exited because because of the leaks for 2.3.5 that are out there already
Check your baseband version. If it is like ucke3, then you probably downloaded the uckh1 update that was released ota kinda recently.
Stupid ATT i thought they promised to give an OTA update of gingerbread last month itself but like always you cant trust their words.
Update - I have some software update that is going on right now, wonder what is this all about file is 14542kb which is doubt will be GB

That's UCKH1
anyone now if you loose root ?
Yep, thats the pre-lim update that came a week or so ago (for me anyway) I installed it and actually my InFuse felt a bit speedier but it didn't break my root or anything either. So I'd say go for it (at your own risk of course) mileage may vary.
It's the UCKH1 baseband update and possibly bootloader update aswell.
I tried playing by the rules and using this updated version for about 3 days. Battery life was horrible. I had to switch to my N86 halfway through the day so it could charge V_V I would recommend getting infused. It's so much better than stock. So. Much. Better.

I didn't lose root from the last AT&T push for UCKH1 when I was running the stock ROM.

ICS Update on Rooted Phone with alternative launcher?

Hello all,
I got a pleasant surprise push update today and after going online to research before attempting to update, it seems that this 06/25/12 update may very well be ICS!
Anyways,
Can anyone give some tips on flashing when you are rooted and have CWM running? Attempting the OTA update failed and I'm sure it is because upon reboot, CWM loads and the update then is "interrupted".
I'm now attempting through Kies but doesn't look promising.
Any help with this? I did do a full CWM ROM backup prior to attempting this.
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks,
--mike

Thank you for the links...very informative and should have read them first.
However, I did take the time to do some research online before attempting this update and found that those with the Skyrocket did indeed install the ICS update. The second link above has me a bit confused because it emphasizes that it is not for the Skyrocket. Don't understand...
Any updates on this I may not be aware of?
Thanks again,

Meant to redirect you since there were many people earlier that were saying they also had an update notice.
Thanks,
I guess it is still a waiting game. Damn, they screwed me up this evening. Update failed and couldn't load firmware. Took two hours to finally load a simple firmware to then restore to recent CWM backup.
They must have pissed off plenty with this crap...

Nope, I got the text and laughed. No need for a crappy ass stock firmware when we have official Rogers ICS all custom from Seanz, AOKP, and CM9.
I didn't bother to even try the update, there is no reason to. Waste of time for stock BS

+1 to that
Wasted of time is right! Seriously, why send a notification when it is not eve supported? On top of that, why show update on Kies as well only to find it simply will not install?
I have a highly modified phone with GB running just fine. Big mistake tonight to try this. I guess I was a bit too curious.
Anyways,
It took some time, but got it back exactly how it was. Would still attempt an ICS install though, as long as it is from a so-called "official" release. Any suggestions for the Skyrocket?
Thanks,

being on rogers we have to use kies for an update, i thought att had to use the update feature on the phone
Historically OTA is for small updates, Kies is for major updates. A lot of people here speak with so much authority with a dismissive tone on how ICS will be pushed out with OTA. Not sure why that is the case but it is looking very likely that Kies will be used for the update seeing how even the SGH-I777 got the update through Kies.

Yeah, but what's interesting is now that we've got the rogers ICS using kies, in About Phone, There's now an option to check for updates without kies! And you can also get Push Notifications about available updates!
