OTA is coming by end of month according to tech support.

mmm ep4d wonder what is changed in that hopefully the modem issues.
a leak would be great
It appears to be an older build than what we have. It's apparently based on 2.3.5. not sure if this is the OTA and is more stable, or if this is just something that Samsung released on their own.
this means cm7...right?DDDD

It might help improve the kernel, but I doubt it will get them any closer to the RIL, which is the real holdup.

NO it means nothing except a possible tool to improve the GB release........If you want CM7 then build it yourself
On the cm7 problem. Is the RIL problem that they can't get lte working? Could it be fixed for just 3g maybe? I remember When it came out for the evo. It didn't have 4g or HDMI for a long time.

Its not really a leak now that the source code has been released to the public. This is a very strange situation, though, that it appears to be an earlier build than what was leaked weeks ago.
p3 tweeted me that their leak is newer - also, it is the ver. being pushed OTA by VZW today (i created a thread)
ED4 must be the kernel, EP4 must be refined in some other fashion.

The latest ep4p leak is 2.3.6 and the OTA ep4d is 2.3.5. It's not really that strange at all considering they build iterative builds with constant changes, bug fixes, etc. And a later build can easily have changes that introduced a new bug from a previous build. With iterative agile development this is not strange at all, in fact I fully expect it, as well as fully expect there are even later builds than ep4p.
That makes no sense. The ROM and kernel versions usually match. This is leaving me scratching my head.
My brother's phone is still running an old version of EP1W and I have to wonder if it would be a good idea to upgrade to EP4P or wait. I'm not sure what to do.
To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question.

Any devs that want it can download it from my post here:

We've all been running 2.2 for months now with voodoo. It's not a full voodoo kernel, but that is coming soon. If you are completely happy where you are at, you could wait a couple of weeks and by then the new kernel should be out. If you want to update and use what we have now, it's all ready to go.
Yeah I've known about the leaked version for a while I just figured I'd wait. Good to know there will be an updated voodoo kernel in the near future

Ditto. I rely on my Mez for work in addition to play and even the occasional FC is unacceptable. It needs to be rock-solid stable. I had an issue with my first SD Card that came with mine that was triggering incessant scanning and lock ups... and at very inopportune times... and I nearly had a meltdown. I wish I could Beta test for you Devs that are doing such amazing things, but I just can't. (But keep up the good work!!!) I'm also running just Voodoo on a rooted 2.1 Mez and the performance is far from lacking, but like wcouri I just need a stable voodoo'd 2.2 where everything just works to make me happy.

Hi guys most of you might find this question silly but there are some of us newcomers who are still getting into this!
So, I rooted my phone, have ROM Manager and CWM Recovery, version 3 and my question is how we're going to update to official GB when it becomes available? Will we do it through official T-Mobile update, or will some of you guys make it available for us?
Thank you all!
Yes...
you should be about to get it either way. If you get the official update you will probably lose root... If you wait a few there will be a rooted version posted by one of the many xda members...

One more dumb question: Why is everybody so excited about the official GB update, when we have right now a few GB leaked versions with some custom ROMs (Bionix from TeamWhiskey, etc... ) available, for which as I hear, many say are excellent? Is this official one gonna be better in any significant way than these custom already out? Thanks! )

OK, I get it... So, all these unofficial GBs are sort of limited because they lack these LG stuff they're (hopefully) putting into the official one. That's why it's smart to wait a bit more.

Yes, that's the case. The leak has issues (which makes sense, it's not a finished build), and almost all Gingerbread mods are based on the leak so they have the same issues. I know CM7 is using the Gingerbread source instead and has fixed a lot of the issues, but not all of them.
The official update is not only going to be completely stable (hopefully) but will come bundled with better drivers/kernel support which will fix most of the common issues with the phone (hopefully).
I've gone through an Over The Air update to Android before, and if it's like what I experienced, you're going to get a pop-up that asks if you want to update now or later. Choose later if you want to keep root, someone here will have the official build rooted probably within the hour but definitely within the first couple of days.
In the mean time though, don't be scared of trying out one of the ROMs that are available. I swear by CM7, but I've heard wonderful things about EagleBlood and Ultimate too.

I have heard that official updating the rooted phone could actually brick it? And when a mod is nightly version, does it mean it it not completely stable? I am interested in CM7, but I could not find a stable version on their site.

You should be able to get all of that stuff after startup my hitting the square boxes in the initial setup. Worked for me yesterday with the Eagleblood 2.3.4 ROM, when someone recommended it to me rather than Titaniumbackup which screwed up my phone a lot because I went from Froyo to GB

When I did an OTA update, it kept all of my apps and settings. I can't remember if it preserved call log.

I don't know if it will brick or not, my OTA was not rooted. And CM7 nightlies are NOT completely stable, but they're on build 58 by now and the ROM works perfectly fine. The only issue I can see with the phone is the top bar they added to the notifications menu that has toggle-able settings like WIFI, GPS, etc sometimes doesn't show up and in the camera, it calls both cameras "back" instead of one being "front".
But if you're concerned with stability that much, use the leak or EagleBlood.
I kinda feel left out. It seems everyone has updated or at least tried to update to the Gingerbread release on LGs site.
But after reading how many people had complications or even bricked their phone, I decided not to try and update, hoping that an official "over the air" update will come from tmobile.
Am I the only one that decided it's to risky to try the update and is still on Froyo? Who else has concerns like mines?
I have not either. So far it seems more trouble than it's worth... Waiting on a good, stable release of GB from the devs!

i'm also waiting for CM7 to get the latest drivers. but cm7 is already running 2.3.4 so i don't see any reason to downgrade to 2.3.3. from what i have been reading, my cm7 is equal to being as stable as the "OTA". it works great for me.
What GB update?
Lol. Its a downgrade from CM7. While it is nice sometimes to "just work" but my G2x is pretty good on CM7. Occassionally does a nightly give me fits.

Consensus seems to be that this is still just a development build. Also, given the amount of time it takes to test a ROM on a phone and the frequency that Google updates their OS, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the final shipped version is still 2.3.3.
I know that this is not a developmental release or a custom built ROM but I thought the community might like to see this.....AT&T officially releases GB for our Captivates!

The source has been out for a while now...I'm thinking a few weeks, at least.
Has anyone checked to see whether this KK4 is the same as what was leaked two months ago - there's always the possibility of slipstreamed changes without reversioning, especially since there are definite bugs that remain in the leaked version, e.g., the kernel crashes when too many apps are are installed to SD.
At a minimum, given that the linked instructions describe this as a full wipe, the ROM is packaged differently than the previous leaks.
LOL. couldn't have come at a better time! /sarcasm
Anyone got an alternate mirror in the event the Kies Mini upgrade fails for me, as it did previously when I tried to upgrade to Froyo? It would be a nice backup in the event I need to go back to stock (assuming, although I probably shouldn't, that in the two months since KK4 leaked, something had to get updated.

Just a warning This is all over, so I'm sure they all know about it. Hopefully it'll bring some stability to our Captivate ROMs (they won't have to be based on I9000 now, although I have no idea what else the I9000 functionality brings). I am not a developer, just an educated user.

This is the same Rom/Kernel developers have been working on for the last month, so yes there is a lot of custom kernel, but none with BLN or voodoo color due to lack of source for it.

Yeah who likes a 100% working phone anyway, right?
meh.
now I know why there are no sources yet. and yeah the update is important if not just for sorcery code. never mind Samsung and att having respect for the customers....
think of how much better the roms can be if we don't have to mix libs from different leaks to fix video recording or playback and workarounds for the sdcard and wifi. and if they actually have HDMI. then we could swap kernels around without considering switching vold.fstab. yeah I hope the update is fixed soon so the code can be released finally.
someone is gonna have to get the update files and decrypt them to get a stock kernel though. (to extract initramfs and the root process will require a kernel to revert to until custom kernels are made.)
If you consider hdmi 100 percent, then I guess im running a 99 percent working rom......yea.....im good with that

hey I'm using Zeus myself. but I use the kl2 kernel on it and it would be nice if you didn't need to change vold.fstab back to stock to do so. I just want source code for new kenrels that could be maintained as all the old kernels were developed by people who are no longer here.
