please, can someone tell me quick, were supposed to go to buy one in a few minutes, but i just read you might not be able to install firmwares like JG5, or JM2, ect on the vibrant, so can you?
can anyone tell me?
Sorry for the later answer but it doesn't really matter since I'm pretty sure you can't. Vibrant requires different drivers as far as I know.

I am sure this has been asked before, but searching ia causing a FC for me. So I ask of you all, has anyone tried returning their rooted captivate? I have one that is build 1007 and I keep hearing that the gps works on build 1012 so I want to switch mine for one of those. So has anyone tried this? Does it work? Is there any risk in trying, like are they going to send me a new one, find out mine is rooted and charge me 500 for the new one? Obviously I would flash stock and if possible without rooting again, recover my imei and product code.
I don't need to hear "oh they can tell or oh just flash stock and it should be fine " I want to hear from people that have tried this or actually know something about it.

3 phones so far.
Restore to stock using ODIN 1 click, and give it back. Make sure u format ur internal SD before u restore to stock to remove any traces left on sd card.
I am 10.07 build now, and GPS works great! The refurbs u get in 10.07 too are working fine. Looks like Samsung corrected them.
Returned a phone that was previously rooted. Removed root, using olcf app. Factory reset, reformat internal sd. Had no issues

Well I am currently running Froyo 2.2 rooted on my Captivate. I have no internet at home so I am reduced to tethering via usb. What is a cheap way to do this? I have tried renameing/deleteing the tetheringmanager but didnt work.
Even links to forums that could help me would be appreciated, and I wont mind using a rom or something else as long as its free lol
Thanks for the help

Flash a rom. They all have it enabled by going around at&t

Loaded question
I have flashed nearly everyone available. They are all good in their own right. Telling you one is best or better is mostly opinion. Depends on what you are looking for especially in appearance. The one I would avoid for a first timer is cm7, which is what I am running but is not as easy to flash.
Look at captivate development. Take a look at the Roms available.
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App
Thanks for the info! And what I am mostly looking for is usability and tethering lol it could look beautiful but if it lags, cant support flash 10.1, and you can't barely do anything with it besides call and text then it ain't for me lol

Abd another reason I ask cause since I don't have internet..i brick I screwed..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
You are right and I would not flash without internet.
Maybe someone can provide a safer option
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App
That is what I am thinking..
Plus I have yet to try flashing because of having no internet.
If I could find possibly someone that knows how to change APK files and change the file tetheringmanager114.apk and just install it so it allows it to use the mobile AP and usb tethering no problem but I have yet to find it or a forum with an idea how to.

Not a dumb question at all, and you're right, there isn't much out there...
I WAS gonna' link to the few that were available, but it looks like a TON of development threads have been moved and/or deleted... strange...
This is from my post on UltimateDroid, not sure how useful they are now, though...
Here are the ROM/Kernal links from XDA:

This guy seems to be doind the most work for us CDMA Tab owners:

There's a DEV working on a HC port (don't know if it will be carrier specific) and he seems to have the most thorough work so far, but I can't find that freakin' thread either... Server issues must be worse than expected...

That is the problem. Most Asia, africa, middle east, latin america and europe use GSM.

SPH-P100 & SCHi800 (Sprint & Verizon) rooting problem
Please share how you solved this. I have been trying for a few weeks now and both fail with SuperOneClick and both hang at step 7 also. I have since rooted on the same two PC's with SuperOneClick a couple of other devices. I had almost given up since nothing seems to have been posted this year or even late last year, but just saw this thread. I assume there has been an update applied to these devices since last rooting technique. Please, please share the resolution!
Thanks in advance.
Recently my phone isn't able to receive some of the sms text, not all but some, I wiped data/cache and reinstall cm7 but the problem continues? Does anyone know what's wrong?

Do you have auto-retrieve enabled? Sounds dumb, but sometimes the most simple things go right above our heads.
Also, it would be of great help if you provided more information. What sms app you are using, carrier, modem, etc.
Just made sure that auto retrieve is on. I am on at&t And the radio band is T959tljl3. I'm using cm7 stable mod. It never happened before and it only started recently. And I'm not using any sms app Thanks for the help btw

Do you get a lot of text messages? One of our users on the Legend thread had the same issue. We suggested lowering the amount of messages from 100 to 50 before they are deleted. The user reported back that the issue was resolved after doing so. Not sure if cm works the same but worth a shot..
Yes I do, I will give it a shot, the weird thing is that it never happened before.
Thanks for the advice though

I'm not sure if your are referring to the modem, I believe baseband refers to the modem. Regardless, can anyone confirm that modem works on the captivate? I don't know why, but I think that modem is for the Vibrant.

Get on over to the "soggycashew.weebly" website for modem dance and also find which modem is best for your area via map location. I just did the dance again the other night and fixed my phone. I'm using the T959tljl3 - radio-cm7-ics-captivate-tljl3-signed.zip download/modem. Works perfect up in Ottawa.
