Saw some chatter on Twitter about a possible update for our device (@TMoNews was the source of it all).
Anyone not rooted and noticing an update? Curious if there is an official GB update rolling out. Seems fitting given all of the leaks recently.
Thanks,
The tweet is from TmoNews: "Any Galaxy S 4G owners seeing an update today?"
At least one person has reported something being delivered.
Edit -- See http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1810

i just wonder if you plug in the rooted / custom rom'd phone it would have a chance to brick it , etc etc. i know with my hd2 anytime you flashed a stock rom (wm 6.5 lol) it would simply override everything
I'm on audiophile. I'll try the upgrade and let you guys know how it goes

Thanks, I am running Linux on my Laptop and Kies doesn't work through VM so this will definitely help me.
I upgraded through keis with two.sgs4g phones. One had trigger kd1 ROM with root voodoo cwm the other was never modified just kd1. Both you need to press speaker twice during call to get mic working in a call. How do I fix ? I did factory reset too.

This was released on Kies It's the official GB rom for unbranded Galaxy S devices in Europe... I wonder if it's any use to the Captivate (since the leaked ones were, I bet it is )
Hope it is of some help to us.
Now if it only was a light sabor too....
I'm wandering if it fixes the charge drain issue since I believe the release was pulled/delayed in some euro countries because of it.
I just flashed JVO stock w/ xcal 1.2 w/voodoo. Works perfect, just no home haptic feedback since this is I9000 ROM

It does not work still... I think it does on CM7
I have the rooted stock which comes with the bubby's GUI... a few weeks ago my phone tells me that there is an upgrade for my software and naively I download it and try to install it.. well it didn't work out of course. Now my question is: is there a stock rooted Rom up to date?
Thanks for the answers.

One of the things you lose when flashing a new ROM is the updates, but if you chose a good one that has great DEV support the updates are usually available pretty soon....you have to wait for the updates to be baked into the ROMs so just keep checking here for the updates

I used att1n's stock rooted with side loading (flashed to rcmix 3d). He has the update installed and bloat ware removed and side loading enabled. Its a good stock rom if thats what your looking for. No bugs or issues that i could find. If your going to flash anyway check the dev section and look at some of the other roms. Plenty of sense roms if your staying stock to keep sense.
[ROM] 2011-08-04 - ROOTED "Official Update" - x99_GB_Sense_Stock_Rooted_2.76.651.4/5
This is *completely* based on NFX's release of 2.72.651.2
- modded kernel ramdisk for root
I flashed this ROM with *nothing* else loaded on my phone, and it booted up and is running just fine so far.
My usual routine:
- format system
- wipe data / factory reset
- install ROM
If you flash this over another ROM without wiping, you may encounter errors.
Examples:
- Opening the settings in the messaging app = force close. Fix this by wiping the data for the messaging app.
- Wallpaper picker not showing previews.

is this the one with the newest update? 2.76.651.4?
Yeah, I named it wrong... one second.
FIXED. lol ... that's what I get for rushing.

No custom kernel yet... at least not until HTC releases source code.
For this, I had to modify a file within the kernel so that we can have root.
Good stuff, I will try this out tonight? Is it basically the OTA with root?
sense 2.1?
In the leaked version it had sense 2.1? Is it the same for this version or does it only have 1.0
Does this kernel have bfs in it?

Hows the battery life to whoever tested this?

I have just bought an Infuse from ebay (not received yet) and this is for my younger brother. I am just evaluating whether i need to install a custom ROM and give him the phone or just give him on stock ROM. I will be unlocking and rooting the phone as need to use with an Indian mobile service.
My brother is not a power user and do not care anything about over clocking etc etc. He has no knowledge of ROM installation or anything.
Also we would want the USB to HDMI adapter thing to work with the phone.
Are there any known issues with stock froyo which hamper the day to day use of the phone ?
Does the MHL adapter work on custom ROMs (which are based on leaked GB) ??
Can i remove the AT&T bloatware after rooting the phone ?
Any other information that you would like to give me ?
I personally had huge issues with battery life and performance before flashing a custom ROM (that one being CM7), but if you can work with/around that, you should be fine.
Bloat can be removed after rooting, I did it with titanium backup. I believe the stock leaks do have working hdmi but I don't know of any custom roms that have working hdmi righ tnow.
Battery life sucks on froyo. Look into flashing a stock gingerbread leak using odin. The KL2 leak is the best. If he is not into doing too much to his phone this is the way to go.

+1 Battery Time is terrible on Stock Rom - I hope AT&T release Gingerbread soon ( I was hoping that it would be released by now but now i have lost hope and i think AT&T might just skip this phone for upgrade ).
Ok so is the Gingerbread leak for this phone bug free ? (not the derived custom GB ROMs).
Also i would appreciate a link to the most stable official GB leak for the Infuse.
And does the HDMI work well on it ?
Hers the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390339
Yes it's stable. As long as you use the stock kernel, hdmi works. Also read through this link first.

I have a problem I reverted back to the original eclair android 2.1 firmware because my wifi wouldn't work. Heres the thing I go to samsungs website but it says to upgrade you need kies mini to do it. I have windows 7 and can never get to recognize my phone I tried installing drivers it just never worked. I do have a desktop that still has good old windows xp so when I wanna add anything to my phone I do it through that means. My main question is first whats the best firmware version that can be run on samsung captivate. I understand you need to install them in order eclair>froyo>gingerbread. My other question is if I install kies mini on my windows xp machine which doesn't currently have internet to it can I do the upgrade that way without any problems? I was also wondering whats a good stable rom to use?I tried to do att update but i forgot to unfreeze the att apps with titanium backup now I have to wait 24 hours lol but I need an app from the playstore my friend released I'm stuck with market and can get half the apps I had Thanks for any help I really appreciate it. oh and yes my phone is rooted.
I went from Froyo to Jelly Bean on my captivate. Check out Helly Bean or Slim Bean ROMs, both have working version for captivate. I would recommend Slim Bean as its considerably smoother given the limited (outdated) specs of cappy.

I just found this site which has a kies version specifically to my phone.
samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SEG-I897ZKAATT
I also figured out why my samsung would never be recognized for my pc running windows 7. It has something to do with my usb port because when I connect through a usb hub it works fine.
OMG it works Kies Mini works. I also had to unroot my phone first and then remove external sd card.
Im fully updated to Gingerbread now 2.3
Here is my specs I used odin and installed Kernal KK4

I was I got stuck on the step where it says to flash to speed mod kernel.
When I do that my phone gets stuck at a loading screen saying
"Samsung i897" in white letters with samsung logo at bottom of screen with black background. When I changed my kernel back to KK4 it worked fine again and loaded back.
The speedmod kernel is just so u can have cwm recovery to flash ur Rom of choice. It is not meant to boot ur phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
So if I install a jelly bean slim I lose gingerbread? Which would make some of my apps incompatible from play store? I was also wondering whats with bootloaders and how can I ensure I have it. Judging form my specs is there anything else I need to do before loading a rom or literally just put the rom in a zip folder on one of my sd cards internal or external boot into recovery mode and choose the rom of my choice and from there it will load that rom and thats it?
If u were running kk4 with no probs, then u have the i897 gb bootloaders. And yep, if u flash a jellybean rom u will loose gb. And in order to go back to gb base u will have to use Odin or Heimdall.
As far as flashin a Dev Rom goes...if u have cwm recovery then u r good to go.

I flashed corn kernel 7.06.It gives u cement recovery and ability to root thru recovery.From there u just follow thread for Tom u want.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
I have had good success with AOKP open Kang you can flash from recovery. They have page on rootwiki that walks through the process. Current version is build 5 once that's installed I change kernels to semaphore 2.4.5c semaphore provides over clocking I'm set at 110% and the phone screams. Also semaphore has a Google play app to manage the kernel. Both developer groups are top notch with solid links for download and change log.

Slim Beans 2.8 is also based on semaphore kernel and yes it runs quite smoothly on old cappy as mentioned above.
Slim bean is pretty nice
