Froyo is not worth using right now. JIT does not work right and there is no froyo kernel for the captivate. Try using I9000 rom.

Well I do I get a 3d app trap is that a froyo thing? And is the I9000 worth the bugs?

Froyo will be officially released for the captivate in a couple weeks.
your better off just waiting for that.

If I do the standard froyo update will I still have super user access?

Are you sure you want to upgrade to Froyo right now? Given the nature of your questions, you would likely be much better off waiting until an official, supported 2.2 update is pushed out OTA, or at least a stable/community supported rom.

Does your bluetooth have bad static when using it. I tried the JM2 and JM5 ROms and using the Captivate kernel with it and people on the other end couldn't even hear me.
I went back to the Captivate ROM and no issues at all.

Anyway you guys could direct me to somewhere I could read up on the info I need to understand flashing roms and what they do for me. Also when I upgrade to froyo rom or official will I still have super user access.

On the xda app just back out of this thread and section. Select the captivate android development section. Select the stickies tab. Its the first tab. Says eclair and froyo rom.

Not sure what you're asking. Are you trying to downgrade from froyo to eclair? Update rooted eclair to rooted froyo?

Update to one of the rooted ROMs. I've been running Fresh 3.1.0.2 for a while now with great success. The Netarchy kernel makes it even better. Just be sure to flash the ROM first then the kernel, if you decide to run a custom kernel.

But yes I downgraded from froyo to eclair from froyo, did the root and installed forever, but it appears that now it rejects to take the ota to froyo, which is no biggie, but why would my phone be running half speed, or should I just forget it and flash.

You don't ever take anything over the air front Sprint or HTC. Download a froyo rom from here...then flash it like you flashed when you rooted the phone...then flash the radios the same way.
It sounds like you have some more reading to do.

i actually tried taking the ota then, it would downlaod, but would not install, just ended up a few times and the droid and a triangle with the exclamation point in it, did that a few times and said forget it, found a rom to flash that was done by netarchy with the HTC ota final build, and it worked perfect, so i'm happy with the outcome.

Maybe, But i would NOT.
U can always just Wipe/Factory...wipe Cach and delvik and flash the rom get the bootloop and flash again. It should work.
but other will say be safe return to stock and go from there. either way you CAN get MiUi on your phone

If I revert back to stock that would place me back on froyo, so wouldn't I need to flash gb in order to flash miui?

No i was only saying that if you were trying NOT to go back to stock.....Miui will flash a kernel over the stock one. and sometimes Bootloops(does for me 90% of the time) then u just pull the batt and hold the three finger recovery pose....and reflash.
then you should be good.

Cool, so ill just flash over what I've got and see what happens. 2 more questions than I'm done, what's the fix for getting recovery mode to work on miui, and what is your opinion on the rom? I tried it a few weeks ago, the big thing I didn't care for was not having an app drawer, I know I can make folders but I just prefer the drawer.

i think you can get an app drawer on Miui if you use a Launcher.
i like it, more than Cm7 for now......i dont mind the querks, and feel comfy enough with my phone that i can get around those.

[Q] MIUI 1.1.11 working zip?

I've been using the older version for a while now but cannot update since official thread is locked and the link on there has not been working for me for some reason. Comes out as. Zip.zip format. And I keep getting an error messenger when I try to flash it. Something I found out has to do with it just being a bad zip. Anyone have a clean one that works?

The lastest one for the Infuse is 1.11.11. The guy who was porting the new updates for the Infuse every week is not doing it anymore, so no updates for the Infuse beyond 1.11.11.
You can find 1.11.11 here:

Ignore incorrectly typed version on the zip file.

Now that 1.11.18 is out I am happy camper. Thanks everyone

Rooting Samsung Sgh-I896 on Rogers in canada

Hey everyone
I have been tiring to look up how to root my Samsung SGH-I896 that is on Rogers in Canada but have haven't been able to find and think that matches my phone info. I will list my firmware and other info if some can point me in the right way that would be nice.
Model = SGH-I896
Frimware = 2.3.3
Kernel version = 2..35.7-i896uxkh2-cl296008
Build number = GINGERBREAD.UXKH2
Thanks

I have the same phone and believe me it's not as easy as it is for the us users. Rogers actually takes code off the phone so that it's harder to root or unlock. I had to factory reset and use an at&t software instead of Rogers. After that everything was easy. Use one click root or anything like it

I dont recall having any issues with rooting my phone back in the day. I recall being able to use superoneclick to get the job done on stock gingerbread.
Although if you are planning on installing a rom on your phone then root isnt required. Just flash CWM and then flash a rom. The roms come with root already installed on it.

I have tried super oneclick and it hang up at step 7 but maybe iam doing something wrong. I will try again later tonight. Thanks alot guys

It should work with your captivate. I used it to root mine and I did it on GB too.

Thanks guy i just got home and tried the latest version and it worked. Only thing is that when it roots it then my menus, and when i go to call some on run every slow. I un rooted it and it put everything back to normal. And ideas?

I used heimdal method front this post, was so easy I was kicking myself for not doing it earlier. I was 2.3.3 on robbers too.
PS I highly recommend cm10, i never imagined my i896 could run this fast.

I am trying to put cwm10 on it now but iam getting confused. What yo flash to it. look like everything is for i897 or has a different modem number so i don't know if i can flash it to my phone? At this point i was hoping that some that has a i896 phone on roger would post a link to the post that they used for there phone. But i may just have to try one i finded and.hope for the best.

i896 and i897 are almost identical with minor differences. You can use i897 roms on the i896 without any issue.

I have the rogers version, I've unlocked it to use Koodo as a provider and have also installed CM10 (runs beautifully!). They are the same phone, ours just does not say at&t at the top of it (Samsung instead). I never bothered with rooting, which was a waste of time anyhow... move on from Gingerbread and you wont look back, I swear!

So I'm a total newbie here... so I don't have to root to get ICS or JB on my Captivate with Rogers? How exactly? I looked at the Heimdall method, but I still don't really understand.

I used Superoneclick with both Froyo and Gingerbread stock Rogers versions and it rooted just fine. Just need to follow the instructions.
I think for Froyo you had to do some really stupid stuff, like plug it in and take it back out 2-3 times but other than that it always worked great.
Worked so well I even made a donation to the developer.
If it hangs on you, I would suggest reading the thread to see if somebody developed a method that works. My Froyo image wouldn't root so I read the Rogers captivate thread and somebody posted telling me how to unplug and plug it back in, worked well.

I think I might have screwed up... I installed the unzipped ROM onto my external SD rather than the zipped one... what do I do now???

Can you get into recovery?

In that recovery go to mounts and storage. Then select mount usb. Then u can copy from ur pc to ur phone.
