Confused on how to get the leaked froyo

Hi everyone,
I have the Samsung Galaxy s Captivate and I want to upgrade it from 2.1 to froyo 2.2. I understand that ATT has not release it. However, I found this thread and froyo is leaked for everyone.
Here is the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282
I was wondering if I need to be rooted in order to do this. If so, what is the most easy and most efficient way of doing it? I also want to get rid of all the ATT bloatware, I hear there is a great rom that gets rid of it.
Thanks for listening I can’t wait for your replies.
Michael.
Hello Michael,
The answer to all of your questions and more are in the thread you linked, including difficulties other people have had and sometimes their resolutions.
Good luck!
You found the thread you need to read. Go through it, even if it does take you about an hour to do. You need to read that way you know where information is on how to fix your phone if anything goes wrong. Everything you do on your phone is at your own risk.
Basically just flash using the one click ODIN for the JI6 build.
One important note is to remove the USB as soon as it reboots because otherwise you can face issues with it becoming stuck in airplane mode. I don't know why exactly but it happened to me and to others.
If you haven't flashed using Odin yet, search for the Odin3 thread. That will give you the steps to use the one click Odin.

Well, I only link the download and flash for it. The link provides no explanation on how to flash or install froyo.

I don't see where the reading is. Only the download mirrors.

ahh you people are very helpful .
post in general or q&a i guess
everything posted here should have the mention "PROVIDED AS IS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK"
that said
arabic => flash JPA not JPM
lag => use a lagfix, i'd suggest universal lag fix
free memory => can't help you there, theres a kernel with more memory available yes but..
if you're not able to actually find the topic with the "how to" for each of these, i suggest you return your phone and ask for a factory reset, and don't try stuff from here again, it will only bring you troubles/break your phone eventually

Alright thank you anyways .
WHERE did u get this topic name in the first place?
IF u just searched a little ur questions have answers here and there.
IF u posted in right section, u might get some people answering ur questions -> rewriting AGAIN the info what is floating over the forum. People are kind around here, when you ask in the right way.
And yet you post sarcastic posts about people being unhelpful, way to go m8.
People behaving like you, doing so just ASK to be flamed.
Don't help rude people.

So, your phone turns on and gets "stuck" at the At&t screen or your phone doesn't power at all?
Come on man, Quoting Infuse and Captivate forums? You should definitely only take advice from the GS2 forum, here's the link, sorry I can't be of more help!

I did use this guide and worked for me.
How To Flash Captivate ROMs from STOCK
If something goes wrong I did use the following guide
[Stock ROMs](OneClicks Master Collection)+[Kernels (Stock & w/ CWM)]+[Modems] UPDATED
I have installed one that has a Kernel with CWM and then could install any other rom.
hope it helps

getting a custom ROM on the T849

I've rooted it, yes.
never encountered so many problems as I have trying to get a ROM or update on this tablet. I went to older threads and the links are either broken or dead.
Is there ANY current guide on what I need to do to successfully flash a custom ROM on this?
I installed CWM but it doesn't boot into that either. ODIN recognizes it just fine, but I can't upgrade/patch the BL
help please!
After a quick search I found your answers. You should do the same.
you're right

Firstly I wasnt been a douche and I WAS helping you out. The best way to learn is to do research, search and read as you pick up allot along the way. I havent got a T849 and didnt even know what it was until I did a quick look.
For GB just go to the Overcome thread then read and follow the PDF guide to flash kernel/rom etc.
For ICS follow the Overcome Guide and then put the latest CM9 nightly or other ICS based rom on your SD card along with gapps and flash them both (rom first) with recovery mode.

If you have search the word T849 you will find so many posts.
Including those that I replied to, that has point blank answer.
