I have the Samsung Captivate running Froyo 2.2 via the leak that has been out for a while. I noticed that a few days ago the official upgrade was released and wanted to update because of the glitches on the leaked version. I was wondering if I would still be able to update to the official version without having to downgrade.
Wow you guys are so helpful I get to answer my own posts. Yes you need stock 2.1 to get the update for kies mini to even recoginze your phone

Hi,
I have a droid 2 that is currently running the leaked version of the gingerbread ROM that was released a few months ago. Now that Motorola has finally rolled out the official gingerbread update, I'd like to switch back to that. How would I go about doing this? Is there an official ROM that I could flash on to go back or an update that I could do?
Also, once I get on the official Gingerbread release, is there a way I could root the phone again? Has anyone tried rooting this release yet?
Thanks for your help,
Josh
does anybody know the latest OFFICIAL ATT&T gingerbread firmware version?
i mean the latest pushed out directly from AT&T.

As of now (October 19, 2011) there is no AT&T Gingerbread for the Captivate. The latest official OS is Froyo/2.2. The FAQ from Samsung explains how to install it. Those instructions are of course only relevant if you're coming from a stock Eclair/2.1 Captivate. If you have one of the developer ROMs on your phone, then the one-click thread in the development forum is going to be your best bet in finding a way to return to stock.
Check out the [Stock ROMs (All OneClicks at one place)] + [Kernels (Stock & w/ CWM)] + [Modems] thread in the Development forum. I think the one that you are looking for is the Froyo one (I897UCKB2) which was the one that you had to use Kies to get installed on the device or came with the later Captivates.

The kies update installed kb1. Later refurbs and new units were shipped with kb2.
Epic 4g just got sources... so maybe not much longer. I hope.
My wife has the epic and it runs so good on froyo... I'd hate to screw with it.

As the title says, just wondering if the official US rom has been released yet OTA or otherwise. I think (pretty sure) I'm running the U.K. version right now and I only have 1 minor problem which is the reminder to setup software updates doesn't work. Also, I'm thinking about giving this tablet to my GF for Christmas and getting the Galaxy Tab 7.7 for myself for the better screen.
Thanks for the help!
Bump?
If you're asking if Samsung issued an upgrade to ICS for the 7.0 Plus in the US, the answer is yes. AFAIK, it had to be installed using Kies.
I can confirm this, I just updated my tab yesterday via kies and it's now in ICS 4.04
OK cool. I'll flash back to stock and do an upgrade to the official
On a side note, I also followed the root instructions under the CWM 6.0 thread in development and it still works :good:
Hi.
I have a rooted Samsung GT-I5801 with 2.1 and been waiting patiently to Samsung to resolve the KIES problem, but i'm tired of waiting.
All the official solutions i saw to upgrade had a warning to phone that where blocked to the operator. The fact that a i have it rooted removes that block?
How can i upgrade to 2.2?

Don't know about the block, but just search for STOCK FROYO OS in the dev thread
There is one with all stock firmware
Else go to samfirware.com (google for exact address) , register, and download the reqd firmware FOR THE REQD REGION

It would be nice to try custom froyo 2.2 roms. Stock 2.2 rom for i5801 has phone heating problem when used with continuous data connection. U won't get good battery backup either.

Thank you for your reply. Will try that.
Hi all.
I have watched the NOOB Video. I have scoured the forum. I have looked at other Android sites. I,m at a loss.
I have recently been given an old stock GT-I5801 that was never updated and network locked to Orange. To be able to use the phone I unlocked it. I gave my rooted xperia x8 running a hacked 2.2 to my son, as I read that the I5801 had an official Froyo 2.2 update. I installed KIES, updated as requested when first running the software, and it doesn't recognise the phone. I tried uninstalling/re-installing KIES and not updating it, I found that the phone had two Home screens (orange and TwLauncher) I tried connecting using both.
I have found instructions on how to put the official firmware update on not using KIES but the links to the firmware its self are broken.
I decided to update to a Android system 2.3.7 / CyanogenMod 7.2, however the instruction require I root it, the instructions to root are for Froyo 2.2
I'm going around in circles, I'm at a loss. can any one point me in the right direction to get at least Froyo 2.2 official on this phone. Thanks.
P.S. I may of ignored the part in the NOOB video that tells us to be brief...........sorry.
Just flash cm7 or any rom with odin, check the flashing guide in sticky thread.

Well if that's the only way, would been nice to have a fully working 2.2 rather than a hack with issues. I'll go look into the least problematic one, cant be any worse than 2.1 stock.

GT-I5801 has indeed been updated to Froyo and Froyo is one of the more stable firmware/ROM for our mobile.
You can download any stock Froyo ROM of your wish from the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497261.
Esle, you can look up to this thread to use any of the Custom ROMs which have better features than stock ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591
I prefer Kisadworx or PuruKisadHybrid.
Download Kyrillos rom or any rom flashable via Odin. Just flash it no need to root as many roms are prerooted.
