Flashing Tmobile Vibrant 2.2 Froyo onto Stock ATT Captivate? - Captivate General

I'm trying to figure out a way using ODIN to where I can update my stock ATT unlocked captivate to Tmobile Vibrant Froyo. I've read that there is a fix for the wifi calling
Am I able to jump from 2.1 to Tmobiles Vibrant Froyo using ODIN?
If so, how to do?

Nope, asking for the perfect recipe for instant-brick.
Why would you do that anyways?
sent from my Pinnacle Powered Captivate

IIRC, packages for stock Froyo harken from the age where bootloaders were cooked into everything. Flashing incorrect bootloaders is asking for trouble.
Plus, just flash some other ROM for WiFi calling.

I'm having troubles using kies to upgrade to 2.2 froyo. Spoke with tech support and live chat so many times. Followed instructions but still couldn't get it to update.
I'm on T-mobile and really need the wifi calling feature. I thought maybe I'd be able to install T-mobiles version of 2.2 froyo from their Samsung Vibrant on my unlocked Captivate.
Please instruct me on what I should do first? Or is there is a better solution, please advise.
I really like the Captivate and would like to get it to go!
Thanks,
Manny

Not 100% true because you can now get bootloader free stock flash packages on this forum.....
But generally, I think this OP is looking at a bad idea.......What to you mean WiFi calling? If you want VoIP, then there are captivate ROMs that are worth looking at that have this feature turned back on.
Good luck !

Try installing the the Kineto.apk. I removed it from my Tmobile Optimus as I am a prepaid user and have no use of it. I replace it with google voice (free outgoing call via Wifi).
If you need the apk file, let me know. It may or may not work.

Maybe we can compare Jupiter files?

Yes mobile AP and sideloading work by default. I just checked mobile ap and works fine.
okay. that's good... i have downloaded rom posted above... any other precautions? 3button mode working after reflashing rogers firmware?
Does the Rogers Captivate have HSUPA??
NO it doesn't
only galaxy s AFAIK support HSUPA are with european modem, but with it you can't call (if you place eu modem in us phone)
"okay. that's good... i have downloaded rom posted above... any other precautions? 3button mode working after reflashing rogers firmware"
Make sure you back up your EFS folder. just as a precaution. this stores information about your product code and emei unlock code ect. this is very difficult to recreate.

There is an issue with the 850 band using an HSUPA modem.bin, but there's a wor-around for that. It doesn't prevent you from making calls.
apparently is does, noone can't hear you and you can't hear anyone...
thats odd, I just made a call on mine and it worked fine.

Custom rom vs att official update

I installed a 2.2 custom rom, now att sent me a txt that there is an update for my phone, should I update?, will it brick my phone?
There's 300000000 other threads about this. For the majority if your not completely stock att will tell you to update

Do not run an update while on a 2.2 custom rom. It is most likely not the froyo update and rather a 2.1 tweak. If you tried it probably would not take, if it did it would probably screw up your phone. If you really want to try the update I would do a odin flash back to stock. If you do not know what odin is you can find it in the development section

ok,thanks ....i wont update since I dont have a data plan , and I know ATT will screw me over.....btw custom 2.2 running great
Either it:
-Won't work, or

Words of wisdom
I wouldn't update if I were you since it isn't 2.2 yet. You'll end up just installing a custom ROM again.

[Q] Rogers users, its now 01/2011, has rogers/samsung started to push froyo to anyone

rumors were they were going to push it out end of december 2010, anything yet?
samsungmobileca twitter says the OS is currently being tested for rogers, but no word on any actual release date.

Captivates don't have any sd card issues, just the bell vibrant. Rogers did say in the first half of 2011 you'll get the update, were just 4 days in though so keep waiting.

The problems were with their ****ty Kies app. I built Assonance on top of that firmware and not a single person had an SD-card blowup in the thread.

Can we flash it back to stock ROM though? I remember there was talk here about the stock ROM and how we can't flash it back to stock or something, but that was a couple months ago... and I've started to lose track of things here.
Edit: Hmm... Looks like I found a thread on how to get back to the Rogers ROM.

They also said Froyo was to be released in mid-December of 2010. Phone release was also massively delayed.

i believe it was infact the kernel that caused the issues, did you build the kernel from bell sources?
DG pulled perception 9 which was not even i9000m based but i think the kernel he built was. perception 9 was rereleased as 9.5 with a different kernel. there were users on that thread reporting sd card problems but very few, still risky. that said the telus rom didnt cause any problems and neither did the i9000 international so i think the captivate is safe. as the software is ready you guys might even beat att to the punch this time! if you get hsupa enabled this time ill definitely flash a rogers rom.
Ignore this message because of a double posting.

I was able to get mine to stock Rogers ROM but I dont know if its able to get EXACTLY like how rogers has. Mine looks like the rogers one but I think it was made off the AT&T one because it has their logo on the bootup and its not JF6 (mine says JI2 unless thats how it is on a stock Rogers I didnt check before I did flashing), I was able to get rid of the AT&T logo but that still bugs me unless someone can confirm this for me.
Yeah. You can get the Rogers stock files somewhere on the forums and just flash it all using Heimdall. Thats what I did after Odin bricked my phone twice ;D. Also, no Froyo yet. Don't expect it any time soon - this IS Rogers we're dealing with.

It isn't Kies that was the issue. This was happening to people well before the 2.2 update and at random times. My girlfriend's Vibrant has gone twice now. Once just randomly force closing everything and then dying while on 2.1, the second one which came from Samsung with 2.2 on it also did the same thing. She is now waiting for phone #3. Hardware has to be a factor.
speaking of which.. rogers/samsung has started pushing froyo 2.2 lol.. finally.. you'll need a kies update http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as

3G on Xoom no longer working after flashing Tiamat ROM

Hi everyone.
I've bought my Motorola Xoom 3G 32GB from the internet and it came with the "international" firmware.
3G used to work all fine with any carrier I try until I flashed Tiamat ROM for all the advantages it supplies.
It just can't find a carrier (which is probably US Verizon).
Is there any way I can regain my 3G back?
Well its been a couple days. Has the 3g kicked in yet by itself?
I went ahead and unlocked my zoom yesterday and when it booted back up I didn't have 4g service kinda like you.
I tried finding some APN settings but the xoom wont let me edit them anyways. By the end of the night I went back to try and fix it again and I noticed it had connected again by itself.
I would try calling the carrier you prefer and get them to reset the APN. Moto might do it if you leave out the rooting part.
If its like phones it might be a case of flashing the multiCSC. Because on my old captivate the multicsc was the international unlock you described.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Well, I'm in this state for moths and still didn't regain my 3G back.
And, is there any way I can re-flash the files which determine the carrier alone?
Or alternatively, isn't there a way to manually compile Tiamat ROM with the international build files for universal support?
well you could go back to stock and that should work to get 3g-
I really like this ROM and don't want to go back to original.
That's why I'm asking for solutions '{: (

Look in the Development Section. TeamEos ICS Nightly is now available for 3G/4G...not sure if it supports international 3G yet, but they're working on it. The ICS rom, while still in alpha/beta stage (missing binaries for cameras) is stable and smooth and has tons of functionality.
Thanks okantomi!
I hope this ends my dilemma (fingers crossed).

Samsung Exhibit II 4G / T679 Official ROM

Hello all!
Seems a basic question and I did a search around, but didn't find a exact answer.
I have a Samsung Exhibit II 4G/T679 which came with carrier's ROM. So lots of undesired applications and some blocks (tethering, for example).
Instead of going to a modified ROM (which can be an alternative, of course), I'm wondering if there is available anywhere the official ROM release by Samsung for this model. Since there is the unlocked model from Samsung, I assume there is a official ROM from them (carrier independent).
Does anybody know where to download this official ROM?
Thanks!
If I am not mistaken, no. But we have some great Roms for this phone check them out. Trust me you don't want stock.

Thanks for your answer!
I wanted the stock mainly because some applications that I use explicitly say they don't run on "rooted or moded roms". So installing one of those customs roms would prevent me from using those applications. Maybe installing the stock one released by Samsung (on unlocked phones) the application would accept that.
Any idea or suggestion?
Seems obvious, but link was not so easy to find...
Here is the stock ROM for this model (attention: not carrier shipped, but manufactured shipped, rooted):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Exhibit_II_4G#Flash_Back_to_Stock
In my case it's still not the right solution since I have a carrier-shipped ROM and I would need to have this ROM back if they need to provide any service.

Because my phone has the carrier-custom ROM, not the clean manufacture one.
So if I have to send the phone back to carrier, they will notice the ROM was changed. This one I couldn't find...
I'm thinking about using CWM Recovery to backup the ROM. But... then the CWM will replace original Recovery System, so it's a signal that ROM was changed too...

It's my office app. Somehow they have explicit lock on custom or rooted phones (maybe for security). I already tried to install on another moded phone and it doesn't work. Only with factory or recognized ROMS.
I don't know how they identify that... but it happens!
I have an ODIN Stock ROM for the SE2, when thats flashed it takes away root and completly restores the phone to out of the box state.

The carrier is Tmobile.

Thank you very much. Did you produce this ROM? I was unable to find anywhere...
No I didnt.
Iv had it in my downloads folder foreverr and I use it alot for when I soft brick and need to use a jig.
Since the jig puts my phone into download/ODIN mode, Iv always saved that folder cause it is ODIN friendly.
Why don't you just flash to what ever you wont and not worry about it and then if you were to have to ship it back to to t-mobile just use the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Exhibit_II_4G and flash back to stock. Because I am sure that is what he is uploading.
