Android 2.3 Software Number EH17 From USCC... Its posted on their site
uscellular.com/androidupgrades
Not working for some reason.....
I have tried to update...but Kies mini is telling me I have the latest version lol
You can take it to a store tech center and have them reflash your phone with it if mini kies isn't working.
Mini kies has been a flaming hot mess more often than not with these updates, so a full reflash at the store is probably not a bad idea anyway.
Strange....Its been taken down!
The update for Samsung MESMERIZE Android 2.3 Software Number EH17 From USCC HAS BEEN REMOVED!
What happened....? lol

Hoping to see Odin installs soon.
is there a way to do this without losing root?

Has anyone tried this? I get an error extracting on 4 different machines, tried downloading twice, just wondering if anyone's had better luck.
i am not sure whats going on guys but the Mez is dead on XDA,
all support, modding, and firmwares, both the new EH09 and old stuff is over at rootzwiki.
i dont like it, i much prefer XDA but there was already this morning a rooted stock EH09 plus the full stock EH09
both for odin.
already flashed the stock unrooted and and booting into the stock rooted now.
sorry guys but rootzwiki has got a huge jump on this.
not even our own dev section here has anything new about EH09, and hasnt had any firmware/rom updates in weeks...

Bottom line: Our developers and users have moved to Rootzwiki. Its still the same users and developers that were once here; same usernames and everything. Everyone's there. Just a new location (and new management).
Whats done is done; the mass exodus has occurred and it can't be changed. So lets quit talking about it. Get on the Rootzwiki boat or stay in ghost town. Your choice.

Just upgraded without kies.
No kies on my Samsung N150 Plus netbook, just installed USCC_I500_EH09_SimpleDL from the US Cellular android upgrade section. Followed instructions (except for battery life, performed this with 81%) phone rebooted, all apps intact including acircuitboard live wallpaper, root apps, contacts, calender, etc...., EXCEPT ROOT ACCESS! Super User gone baby, verified with root check app. guess I'll give GingerBreak a try this weekend, heck I may even try SuperOneClick again to see what happens. Here's a trick for you warranty voider freaker outers, if you brick it, just tell your provider you lost the phone and pay the $50 or whatever dollar insurance claim and get a new GXS.
Obviously no root access, it's a stock official rom.

I'm new to Android - my apologies if this is an ignorant question.
If I root my Captivate will I be removing myself from OTA updates?
From what I understand rooting it does not prevent you from getting the OTA updates but if you put a custom ROM on there you will not be able to get the Samsung ROM when they release it - but then again you won't need it. Everything I've read about Samsung so far pretty much indicates that won't be anytime soon - apparently they are terrible at software updates. I don't know that first hand though, this is the first Samsung Smartphone I've owned.
If you rooted just to remove the AT&T bloat then you should have no worries about when they release Froyo.
If I'm wrong someone please correct me!
No, you'll be fine.
Edit: I agree with what the previous poster said.
Awesome, thanks guys. Looks like I'll move forward with a root this weekend. Time to remove some AT&T crapware
also you can always remove root later if its a problem
since you're new to android and this phone, i highly suggest you read the Pimp my captivate pdf provided for in a sticky on this sub forum.

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure there was already a leaked copy of the Samsung Froyo so I don't think it will be too far off for the OTA

Quite the opposite. That leaked copy is an early test build which lacks a lot of features and buggy as well.

I am new to the Smartphone and I have an naive question? Is there any possible danger to root the Captivate? Would it be locked by AT&T? Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by "locked by AT&T", but, AT&T will never know its been rooted unless they have it in their hands.
There is always the possibility of something going wrong, but unlikely if you follow the directions as they are written. Research is important too. I've learned TONS here, from others mistakes and experiments.
i have epic 4g (rooted) but OTA not working.
cant update PRL, FIRMWARE, nor profile. I am kinda worried.
Has anyone tried updating PRL?
Is there a way to install OTA.APK back to my rooted phone? I copied the old stock OTA.APK to my sd card and tried installing it in debugging mode, but wouldnt let me.

Question about the official upgrade
Forgive the noob question, but does anyone know if the official release will unroot your phone using the techniques and software provided by USC? I'm technically savvy but this is still somewhat new to me. I've used Odin to root my phone and upgrade to the unofficial leak. I've had a number of software crashes since. I also found out, since I didn't do proper research before jumping onto the bandwagon, after the fact, that rooting will void the warranty. I'd like to unroot it, but I just need to know if this will do it or if I need to unroot it before I upgrade. Thanks!
And within seconds, I answer my own question
Apparently, it's been reported that the official update will, indeed, unroot your phone as well. Sorry for the wasted space.

If you install the official upgrade with the Odin files it will also "unroot" your phone. I say that because it's just putting a fresh system image on your phone so of course it will be "unrooted". The better option would be to install the pre-rooted version that has the 2e recovery as well so you can install custom ROMs and such.

Okay I literally just got this phone yesterday and I see all this talk about Gingerbread and how great it is so I decided I want to try it. I know next to nothing about all the technicalities about this phone so I youtube'd how to do it and found this video that I plan to use to help me in the process. - watch?v=YuURgkUYn1A
So if I follow that process and use the files he uses, I should have Gingerbread and still have my connection to AT&T, GPS, and WiFi? Also, when AT&T finally does release it officially, will I be able to just go to Software Update on the menu and get the official AT&T Firmware and not have to worry about all this technical stuff again?

Try THIS link out, its got pretty much everything you want to know to get started(including vids). The only things that don't work on GB currently HDMI and on some of the roms, bluetooth. If you want to get the official OTA when it drops you will have to go back to stock, easiest way is to use THIS method. Also when GB does drop, Devs most likely will make their own roms based on the official GB.
Once your rooted and have recovery installed use THIS thread to find the ROM you want...
This is just a rough overview, so make sure you READ carefully and take your time, any question you have is usually answered in the appropriate thread.
Here is a link to the latest AT&T Gingerbread leak. Use Odin to flash it, and if you stick with the included stock kernel, everything works as it should. It looks very close to being ready for release. If you want it rooted, flash Entropy's kernel and then use CWM recovery and the Superuser zip you can find on here to install su. Then, flash the stock kernel again to keep everything working (video, bluetooth, etc.).:

So back on topic lol. Xia, Dman's CatyRom is one of the most recent GB roms (and plenty more), it's based off of the leaks from At&t. Once your ready, look into that!
Edit: Nevermind my question, dman, thanks anyway for what you're doing.
To the OP, a good AOSP Gingerbread rom that I keep coming back to is Serendipity VII. I hope that MikeyMike will still come back to update that one when we get the official AT&T Gingerbread.

1.Power Button Does Nothing
2.Both Volume Buttons And Computer Usb Connected Goes to Battery Sign
3.Down Voulme Plus Power Button Does Nothing
4.Wall Plugin Goes To Att Logo And Flashes Every Couple Of Seconds
Would Like to Know If Its a BootLoop/HardBrick And If It Will Be Able To be Fixed
Also Bought A Jig But Wont Get here For A While But If you Think The Jig Will Fix It Then Please Post If It Will
I would suggest you take a look at the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread if you haven't already. There might be something there for you to try.
If you have the battery screen still showing and it appears to actually be charging the phone then you should be ok. A jig should most definitely get you into download mode and from there you can flash back to stock. If this is the one click you used, it's never failed me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Just to make the OP fully aware, the one-click listed above does flash froyo bootloaders.
If that's not something you want to do, you can check the one-click thread sticky at the top of the Development section.
Very true. As long as you aren't intending to stay on a stock ROM, roms like cyanogenmod will come with gingerbread bootloaders anyways though.

Unless it's a build I'm not aware of, the roms I've come across (cyanogenmod included) usually don't have bootloaders included.
The roms with bootloaders are exclusively Heimdall/Odin packages, as you have to use one of those programs to flash the bootloaders (with the exception of an old Cognition build which had a modified secondary bootloader, but that's a dangerous thing).
Not trying to be obnoxious or nitpicky, but just want to clarify that bootloader changes need to happen outside of flashing roms in CWM recovery.
Maybe I don't understand bootloaders like I thought I did then lol. I've never had any problems flashing between stock, CM7, and CM9. And I've never manually flashed any bootloaders either?

Maybe I don't understand bootloaders like I thought I did then lol. I've never had any problems flashing between stock, CM7, and CM9. And I've never manually flashed any bootloaders either?

No problem. If you're going between builds of CyanogenMod, you usually can have either the Froyo/Eclair or Gingerbread bootloaders - CM doesn't seem to care. If you've never flashed a stock Samsung rom that includes bootloaders, you may still be on the Froyo/Eclair bootloaders (and if you've flashed the one you linked most recently, you definitely are).
The issue comes up when you're flashing Samsung-based roms, as a mismatch between bootloaders and Android version can cause some unfortunate behavior. Nothing fatal, just more steps to get things sorted out.

You must be on GB bootloaders because ICY glitch requires them. You probably were on stock gingerbread at some point. Also, bootloaders are never flashed from the phone; it can't touch them. You always need Odin/heimdall for it.

Understood. I did update to stock gingerbread at one point via mini kies. So that changed the bootloaders to gingerbread. Thanks for the explanation.

Sorry about that - that's largely my fault.
To circle back around, did you check the Connection Issues thread? If you've tried those things and nothing worked, post back and we'll see if we can offer any further suggestions.

You aren't hard bricked if you're still seeing things on screen. Has your jig arrived yet? If nothing is working for you, you'll have to wait until then.
Just to clarify, you have tried all of the download mode methods?

Make sure you've read both of these and tried ALL of the methods for download mode.
Oh sorry, I read your post saying you already did. Can't hurt to try again though
