Please someone help. I bought a rooted captivate. It has ucji6. I cannot install any apks i have on my sd. Its saying cannot install non market apps. Also the att bloatware is there still. I put a rom on my sd and tried installing using rom manager and its not working. I just rooted my wifes captivate using the one click method and installed a rom following the method they show and no problems. Please help i want the same rom she has.
flash to stock using odin, then flash the custom rom
btw, you will get more responses if you post in the captivate section
thanks
Thank you so much. I will give this a shot and like an idiot realized i should of posted in the captivate section after the fact. I really appreciate your help. I will let ya know how this went.
Hi -
I just purchased a new Captivate...mint condition. It's still on 2.1.
I'm interested to just getting it updated to the official 2.2 software release. However, at the same time I plan to spend several days studying how to root and installing custom roms.
My question is if I install the official 2.2 update then would I still be able to apply custom roms. I learned the hard way that once 2.2 was applied to the HTC Aria, rooting was out of the question.
Anyway, thanks everyone. By the way, I came from the 3GS. Captivate is really a nice change.
Thanks.
The search function is your friend. Use it.
Okay. Sorry to have asked.
Don't be sorry. I understand, but there are a ton of threads that show how to do everything.
Don't update to the stock 2.2 cause it will give you the new 3e recovery issue.
Just flash to a custom 2.2 custom rom.
Thanks all. I used Android about 1 year ago, but then jumped to the dark side. Trying to pick up a few things again.
A wealth of active information over here. Great to see!
Stock 2.2 is no problem to root / whatever you want to do.
Go to the Developer section of these forums and you'll find all the info you want.
Basically the general idea is this:
The program that can flash these phones directly is available (Odin 1.3)
Therefore you can always do what you want. the 2e recovery is technically easier to root, but gaining this back is as simple as downloading a 6mb kernel and flashing with Odin, and poof you are in Clockwork mod and can do what you want.
Basically, upgrade away, you're never stuck with a captivate provided you dont screw up the boot or sbl. (Search those for explanation)

if you definitely plan on installing a custom rom, i'd stay on stock eclair. I recently installed Serendipity 6.2 (my first custom rom), and it required an ODIN back to stock 2.1 (unfortunately i had updated to stock froyo). i'm not sure if all roms require this, but it certainly would have saved a few steps if i was on stock eclair. nothing really exciting in stock froyo, especially if you plan on going the custom rom route anyway.
also, i highly recommend Serendipity (now 6.3)
Thanks for the replies.
I was able to root cand flash a custom rom - firefly last night. It's really fun to be back in the game again. Can't say I miss the iPhone so far, but we'll see.
Thanks.
I was disappointed with official the froyo update. Custom roms are much better than stock. You'll also gain a deeper appreciation for what the devs do.

Please provide the PROPER answer next time. He was asking for stock gingerbread, and the link you gave in the first line says "this is based off of" so its not the official stock. He is looking for the stock the phone came with, V21E.
This is what you are looking for dude

Has froyo and gb for you
First of all let me apologize in advance if this is a repeat thread or something which has been asked before.
Please help me with my query...
I have a samsung infuse and few months back i had updated it to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using Kies. I have never installed any custom ROM ever on this. I think GB has lots of issues and battery life is also not great. I know for a fact that this thing worked fine in Froyo so i want to go back to Froyo and then later sell off the phone. I still do not want to do any custom ROM and want to go back to Froyo only.
Can anyone please suggest me what all i will need to get and how to do it ? (ODIN ?)
I know this wonderful forum has all information but segregating what i want exactly is getting bit difficult and hence i am opening this thread.
Would sincerely appreciate any help i can get in this regard.
