check your GPS before you walk out the door Before you put the battery in, look at the first four numbers on the second line of the inside sticker- this will be your build number - 1010 for example would be oct. 2010 - Seems those that have 1008 build have problems with 3 button recovery.

Flash the Froyo 2.2 with ODIN, there's a discussion somewhere on the XDA site about it but it is way better than 2.1

Cognition us built on froyo leaks with improvements
Assonace, perception and a couple others are built on i900 base froyo but optimized for the Captivate
Axura is based off of a Vibrant leak but is solid
I would suggest reading the threads in captivate development and finding what you feel comfortable with.
I am currently using assonance and axura, obviously not at the same time but going back and forth
To do a backup you will need to root but you do not need to root to flash roms
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

If you plan on flashing your phone with a custom rom. I would suggest getting insurance or make sure you only do it within the 30 day return policy. It's nice to have insurance incase something goes wrong and your brick it.
Also make sure you get a case. This is typically the best one to go with. http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Captivate-Commuter-Series-Case/SAM4-CAPVA,default,pd.html?dwvar_SAM4-CAPVA_color=20&start=2&cgid=samsung-captivate-cases

thanks!!

All I can say is to go through the different ROM threads, look at the screen shots,get a feel for the thread itself and check out the change logs. One of the most important things is to ensure you are happy and that the ROM you choose is one that will do you good. Keep in mind you can always flash back to stock and choose a different one.
PS. I am the dev of Axura and it is blazing fast, GPS works great and the animations are to die for.
Have fun on the Captivate.

MOD, PLEASE DELETE... OLD NEWS[Q] uvkg6???

MOD... PLEASE DELETE... OLD NEWS NOW......
..Ok... broke my vibrant and T-Mo sent me a sgs 4g.... I held out maybe 6 hours (sleep) before rooting/kernel/bln etc. it's been 5 days now.
Today I fired up the kies mini and it says upgrade avail.... T959uvkg6 with date of 11/07/29...
So, few questions.
Is it an gingerbread???
Has anyone rooted/lagfix/debloat/voodoo sound etc with this??
Would hate to go back to slow bloated life without voodoo sound & BLN...

Should be gingerbread does it say android versoin 2.3.4? This could be great news
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

Wound up trying kies to update my phone but it knows I don't have my phone stock, so it refused to upgrade. Too lazy to flash my phone right now, so I'll wait until someone else confirms this.
Pretty awesome news though!

Apparently it is only up for some people. My kies says that I have the latest version with KD1, so apparently it's not going out for everyone.

ok... I'll bite.... voodoo disabled, stock kernel swapped, made a back up of kd1, copied whole sd card to computer & hit the "I agree" button on the mini kies.... downloading binary files right now..... fingers crossed that this doesn't turn bad like the first Vibrant upgrade....

Oh, heh. I'm a moron. I may have unrooted, but I still had voodoo enabled and Bali 3.3 running. I guess I should let people who know what they are doing do this first...

New Download screen

I flashed back to stock this morning to test something and noticed there was a 19Mb update. After updating I rebooted the phone and checked a few more times to make sure there were no more updates. When I went into 'Download' to flash a new rom this is the screen I was presented with. After I chose to enter to Download mode that was the 2nd screen I had. Just thought it was funny and would share.

Removing the download for the bootloaders so people won't try flashing them and brick devices left and right. They were only intended for serious devs who know what they are doing. Sorry.

Could you also upload the whole update package? Thanks for the bootloaders.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Considering that we haven't ever been able to flash dumped BLs from the Rogers ROM, having the update package to look at would be highly beneficial to figure out how to flash the bootloaders.

This is a similar download mode screen to the SGSII - keeping count of how many custom ROMS you run/flash. Keeping in mind if you phone needs to go some where to be serviced there maybe a document of how they can check this counter. A USB JIG cleared this on the SGSII & my jig works fine on my Infuse so I can imagine it will still clear it.

If that's the reason, then that's a REALLY smart way to track if you flash a custom "OS", as Samsung would say.
If it's as simple as using a USB JIG to clear it, then we should be in the clear.

Well i guess this finally gives me a reason to pick one up......

Boot loaders flashed fine, now have the new download screen with warning. Still had rainbows and cannot access recovery when used with leaked GB. Otherwise no issues.

I was curious about this, thanks for the info!

Also in case anyone wants to know, after flashing the leaked GB with this BL the download screen still reports official Samsung Binary as the current.
This is just a short term observation: when I flashed the leaked GB with the old BL I got hard reboots when apps accessed GPS (speed test, maps, co pilot) 1 out of 10 times. With these BL's I am at 18 hours using all of those apps without any reboots. Though it could have just been reflashing that fixed it. I did not use TB or anything to restore app data usher time, both times I went back to stock first.

I didn't check again for two days. I ultimate unbricked again to stock, wiped all user data. I did not root this time. No wireless and the update went right through. uckh1.
I didn't try the clock trick just waited. I have done it before with rooted but I need to sleep so I haven't done it yet. Maybe this will help someone.

Instead of changing the clock you can also go into manage applications and find device management and clear the data for it. And it should allow you to check again.

Yep cell connection only is the trick. I was in an office with full WiFi, but a poor cell connection (1-2 bars.. thanks ATT ). And the OTA kept freezing when downloading, so I would cancel, up the date and retry. Finally, without noticing, I had the WiFi off and the download would run, the halt for a few when my cell data connection dropped too low, the screen would refresh as my data gained a bar and the download would continue. Didn't take that long, I guess I just wasn't waiting long enough for the data to reconnect. It's weird, but it definitely will only download via cellular Data not WiFi.

Well the good news is that it flashes and loads into the OS fine. The bad news is that it won't connect to the network. Could be because I'm on ATT but I doubt it. Wifi still works.

Try it out and report back might be a headache or work great! I'd be hesitant with original modem removing information giving the "insert Sim".. Also I flashed a modem a while back (infuse kk3 modem) it worked, but my clock time was off many hours. It didn't matter what modem I used after.

Hi eb13
Please track battery life as well.
I'm using the sidekick KD1 modem, which gave me better receptions, but I was told it costs some battery drain.
Also, can you please post modem here? I don't want to sign up just to download it. 10x!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

I also flashed it last night. No problems whatsoever, and I got the fastest upload and download speeds I've ever gotten (max. 9100 kbps download, 3400 kbps upload). Battery usage seems fine - I left the mobile network on overnight, and the battery only went down a couple of percentage points.
I think we have a winner here, but obviously individual results will vary. I'll try to post this in a separate post to make it more visible and include a download site that doesn't require a sign-up.

@Quietly: The file that is at the link in my post at the top of this page.

Yeah I lost you regarding the download link.
LB7 is not the port suggested (that was kj2) and it's also 20MB instead of 9MB...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA

@itzik2sh: LB7 doesn't show up in the baseband version area in the Settings menu - people also reported this in the SK4G forum. But as I was flashing it in CWM, the phone reported that it flashed both the mdm.bin and amss.bin files. And I'm getting much better speeds. So you can take it or leave it.
The reason the file is so large is due to the presence of both .bins.
For reference, here is a link to the LB7 modem file that I uploaded to mediafire:
