Captivates don't have any sd card issues, just the bell vibrant. Rogers did say in the first half of 2011 you'll get the update, were just 4 days in though so keep waiting.

The problems were with their ****ty Kies app. I built Assonance on top of that firmware and not a single person had an SD-card blowup in the thread.

Will it be made into an Odin when it comes out?

Can we flash it back to stock ROM though? I remember there was talk here about the stock ROM and how we can't flash it back to stock or something, but that was a couple months ago... and I've started to lose track of things here.
Edit: Hmm... Looks like I found a thread on how to get back to the Rogers ROM.

They also said Froyo was to be released in mid-December of 2010. Phone release was also massively delayed.

i believe it was infact the kernel that caused the issues, did you build the kernel from bell sources?
DG pulled perception 9 which was not even i9000m based but i think the kernel he built was. perception 9 was rereleased as 9.5 with a different kernel. there were users on that thread reporting sd card problems but very few, still risky. that said the telus rom didnt cause any problems and neither did the i9000 international so i think the captivate is safe. as the software is ready you guys might even beat att to the punch this time! if you get hsupa enabled this time ill definitely flash a rogers rom.

Ignore this message because of a double posting.

I was able to get mine to stock Rogers ROM but I dont know if its able to get EXACTLY like how rogers has. Mine looks like the rogers one but I think it was made off the AT&T one because it has their logo on the bootup and its not JF6 (mine says JI2 unless thats how it is on a stock Rogers I didnt check before I did flashing), I was able to get rid of the AT&T logo but that still bugs me unless someone can confirm this for me.

Yeah. You can get the Rogers stock files somewhere on the forums and just flash it all using Heimdall. Thats what I did after Odin bricked my phone twice ;D. Also, no Froyo yet. Don't expect it any time soon - this IS Rogers we're dealing with.

It isn't Kies that was the issue. This was happening to people well before the 2.2 update and at random times. My girlfriend's Vibrant has gone twice now. Once just randomly force closing everything and then dying while on 2.1, the second one which came from Samsung with 2.2 on it also did the same thing. She is now waiting for phone #3. Hardware has to be a factor.

speaking of which.. rogers/samsung has started pushing froyo 2.2 lol.. finally.. you'll need a kies update http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as

Custom rom vs att official update

I installed a 2.2 custom rom, now att sent me a txt that there is an update for my phone, should I update?, will it brick my phone?
There's 300000000 other threads about this. For the majority if your not completely stock att will tell you to update

Do not run an update while on a 2.2 custom rom. It is most likely not the froyo update and rather a 2.1 tweak. If you tried it probably would not take, if it did it would probably screw up your phone. If you really want to try the update I would do a odin flash back to stock. If you do not know what odin is you can find it in the development section

ok,thanks ....i wont update since I dont have a data plan , and I know ATT will screw me over.....btw custom 2.2 running great
Either it:
-Won't work, or
-It will work
I'll let you decide which is worse.

Words of wisdom
I wouldn't update if I were you since it isn't 2.2 yet. You'll end up just installing a custom ROM again.

[Q] ODIN and ATT update - what is this?

I was using a custom ROM. In order to upgrade the rom, I used one click odin to restore stock. Then I did a master clear and checked the version of the kernel SW:
Firmware 2.1 -update1
Baseband I897UCJF6
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build ECLAIR
This was all expected. Then I checked software update. To my suprise, it said there is a software update. I decided to get the update. It downloaded it, and in the process of installation, it failed exactly at 50% mark. I tried it several time, all with the same result.
Now, the question is what is this update? and why is it failing?
Can someone check their never altered stock captivate if the SW/firmvare/kernel version I listed above match with your captivate.
Thanks
It's been said that once you flash using Odin, even though its Samsung stock, that it will not, or not likely to, update properly.
Its jh7 update
will fail everytime

Did you try an OTA update or did you try to update with Kies Mini? The update that AT&T is sending you is JH7.
If u want jh7 u can still install via kies or cwm zip

I tried an ATT update. Previous post mentioned that it will always fail. It seems Odin is not returning the phone to full stock state. Not that I plan to go to stock ATT att the moment, but is it even possible now to go to stock ATT, with enabled updates?
Or using custom roms is a one way street, that we will never be able to go to full stock with succesful updates from ATT?
2.2 will be via kies and I suspect any further updatea will be as well

Just use Kies Mini...
Kies-Mini
Download Kies-Mini
Install it on your computer
Start Kies-Mini
Make sure your phone is set for USB-Debugging
Hook USB cable to phone
Hook other end to your computer
Kies should see your phone
If Kies can see your phone, UPDATE it to JH7
After Kies is finished updating your phone will be @ True Stock
If that dosen't work get OTA JH7

It is full stock but those OTA updates only work if its being pushed any new captivates will already have the jh7 so att isn't pushing it anymore. Your phone knows its out of date but it can't get the full package anymore
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
It's jh7, I don't think 2.2 will be out soon. I was at at&t device support center today. I talked to one of the reps about most problematic phone they have met and we talked about captivate a little bit. He said google released it really early and samsung finished their revise really quick, its just att can't take such a huge amount of data transfer at one time. And att is building up 4g network, less attention will be put on 3g than before.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You should just stick with custom rom's. The updates you are trying to get are already on 90% of the custom roms and the custom roms have alot more advantages with barley any disadvantages.
The only reason I look forward to the 2.2 release is so we have captivate specific source for froyo I will never again have a stock captivate even if they give us gingerbread next week

All three of ours failed the first time they pushed it and my brother just got a captivate from best buy a few weeks ago with jf6 on it so at that time there were still some old builds floating around.

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?

OTA Firmware update UCKH1 released

today I received an Infuse replacement (my old infuse just stopped to connect to data network...) so it was all stock out of the box and it prompted me to update it. It was a 14800KB (ish) download, rebooted, installed it and it is the UCKH1 version.
Hard to tell what new or fixed at this point.

H1 leaked a while ago on samfirmware - at the very least it contains a modem update.
Not Gingerbread though.

Actually I have confirmed that they have all of the same issues as us. Slower HSPA+ speeds than other phones on their network, lockscreen lag, 15fps video recording, no HDMI, probably other crap I'm forgetting. It was just a half baked release on the part of Samsung and Rogers. The issues just aren't as obvious to them because they never experienced the phone without them.

Checking for updates?

Searched the forums (albeit not extensively,) on how to check for firmware updates... couldn't find anything.
Is there not a # you can dial to push the check or something?

Wali, have you returned your phone to the stock rom? If you're running anything else, I don't think that you can get the update... Not 100% sure, but that's probably why Kies thinks that you're on at&t....

Was the Rep that you spoke to aware that you've got a Rogers phone?
For about 3 days last fall, I had a Samsung Focus, & it had the option to check for updates on the phone... When ever you wanted...
But who knows... Not rogers, that's for sure.

lol they have to at least run it through a lot of tests, remember if anything goes wrong there will be a riot of people running to the store saying that the update bricked their phone
Just got off the phone with rogers.. The tech guy that I spoke to said that they know that Samsung has released it, BUT they don't have any information for TODAY... He said that when there is an update going out, they get an email that morning.. He's thinking maybe later this week? Kies was updated today... So, now might be a good time to get your titanium & CWM backups ready..
Hey, I'm just one guy reporting what he was told... For what it's worth, the guy that I spoke to... His name is Tim.

Hum, so if I'm reading it right, I have to revert to the stock ROM/Radio (running TPCv3 and UXKJ7 Baseband) before I will see the update?
I know TPCv3 is a rogers stock based rom.... will that make a difference?
(Actually, it doesn't matter much, I wasn't going to apply it anyway. Will wait for someone to cook up a better-than-stock ROM anyway before I flash anything.)
