So basically I have a couple questions before flashing my phone to Serendipity 4.3
1. If I flash can I ever go back to "real stock"?
2. Since froyo is not out for the captivate. I was wondering if the 2.2 roms were real froyo roms? (Like the Serendipity 4.3)
3. Since froyo is coming out soon, should I just wait for the ATT version of froyo?
4. If I do flash, can I get the ATT version of froyo? (when it comes out)
Thanks for reading
Yes
Yes
No
And doesn't exist yet

Yes of course, all you'll have to do is an update through kies once you flash back to stock when it comes out.

He's right.
I wouldn't wait for AT&T, it could be a long time before they release anything. Happy flashing!!

So true...
Waiting for AT&T Froyo is like waiting to win the lottery...
As the rest have said, FLASH AWAY! Once you start, you'll see how addictive it really is. Try them all. They all have thier own pro's and con's
I sucessfully flashed my phone! I love my phone now, geezes I dont know why i waited sooooo long.
Thanks every1!
Probably going to flash a custom ROM (phoenix 4.1) for the first time this weekend. I currently have the AT&T 2.2 beta flashed from a one-click, but have never gone through the whole process. I have a couple questions.
1. Is the phoenix install instructions on the first page of the discussion in the development section complete? I was browsing through the discussion and some folks said there were some apps missing, like the music player (not that I used the stock one).
2. there are patches listed and it doesn't really say how to apply them. any guidance? rather than page through 700+ pages, is there a summary on how?
3. is there a lagfix in the Phoenix ROM or is it needed for 2.2.1 ROMs at all?

Each rom is done to the Dev's way so yes some remove some apps that they deem junk. Like all the att crapware that is installed. All the fixes are clockwork flashable that I know of. Most were for older versions of the rom. IF you follow the directions in the FAQ you will be fine, Just make sure then after you flash back to stock that you can get into recovery and DL mode with the 3 button combos just in case something goes wrong
cool thanks. looking forward to it.
Did u have to root first? I want to update to 2.2 i rooted yesterday and now im not sure what to do.

Oh boy.... Another one of these threads.
Short answer.... PICK one, they are all better than stock. There are so many roms out there that only YOU can judge what you want and need in a rom.
Everyone will have a different answer for you. For instance I say Firefly, but only because it works for me
You can't go wrong choosing any of them.

LMAO........
The suggestions are to try them out yourself........
They are all better than stock........
You have to figure it out for yourself..........
And he meant that every Captivate is different.......If you did some more reading...you would know what he meant........
The "all in one place" is the first 3 pages of the dev section........http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=706 any thread that starts with [ROM] is what your looking at
if you want a fast rom i would recommend the cyanogen mod 7.
people talk about how its unstable and has bad battery life
but its all wrong,,,
from my experience cm7 has been a stable like all the other roms but just faster..
It's the fastest you'll ever get right now and it has all different customization you can do.
so try it out.
Might want to try cm6 its outdated but fast and more reliable

ya, any file i put on the root of the phone gives me the same answer, whether its cwm or update.zip
You have 3E recovery.
The easiest way to get around it is to Flash the .tar version of speedmod with the full version of odin.
This only works on 2.2 If you need any more help. I will be around for a bit.

good answer! but if you are on 2.1 you can put the new rom on the sd card first and then flash speedmod. it wont boot into the rom but will give you recovery to flash the new rom.
yes, no need to root just odin flash speedmod then flash a rom.
if you want complete and reliable and well polished then flash andromeda, it's a bit older version of 2.2 but the work was great.
if you want super fast flash something that says js8, i hear the paragon rom has a great kernel. id say cm7 but maybe you should work up to that, it isn't hard but you need odin to flash back if you have problems, there aren't any 2.2 kernels or roms with the proper update script and binary to be flashed from the recovery that cm7 uses.

Nice. That makes sense that it will work.
OCLF (one click lagfix) use ext2. Titanium or some system app remover app to get rid of bloat and you should be good to go. At the end of the day different ROMs and such are for asthetics... no one has over 340 mg of Ram available so performance not much different from one to the next once lagfix installed. Until you OC/UV and that is tuff to maintain stability with.
Now we all know that there are no "Best Rom" threads but sense this one has changed course ill leave it open.
Each rom runs differently for each person. This is due to the many different ways we each use our phones. Once you get the hang of it, try out a few and find your favorite. Good luck on your quest.

Questions pertaining to specific roms should be asked in their thread. Most times you're not the only one that's had that problem and it's already been addressed. That translates into search and read.
but can't find an answer.... is it doable? Also, what other mods can I do to it? I wish XDA had a section for each version of the tab, I have a huge headache from trying to find my answer.... thanks guys
bump..... Please guys, help me out. I tried rooting last night but failed, guess I tried the root from a different tab... so please help me out... I'm getting ready to smash this thing
Really, no one can help me out? ... maybe another forum has more courteous members.

Do you think that bumping your post two hours after posting it is courteous?
I just got a Galaxy Tab WiFi myself, but I did my research *before* I bought it. No Gingerbread is available, that I know of. There are not many alternative ROMs for the WiFi only model.
What did you use in your rooting attempt? The only two ways I know are with a Windows app or with z4root, an Android app. I haven't tried either one, here is a link to z4root on this forum.

SuperOneClick should be able to help you root your Tab.
Here's the Noob Rooting Guide with links and downloads.
Always do your research. The Development forums will be one of your best resources for your Tab.

No offense but if you're going to criticize you might as well not even comment to avoid any frustrations or arguments as a result. Thank you for the link, I was able to find z4 and lag fix yesterday.... applied both but i might roll back on the lag fix since I have no haptic feedback now unless anyone knows of a fix? I wasn't able to find anything on Google... wifi only tab and p1010 aren't too popular searches.

*sigh* waiting for this too..
****ty Samsung , is it so hard to just make an official Gb for this little tab considering the workforce they have at their disposal.
At one point I had heard that the Sprint stock GB (2.3.4) update worked on the Wifi only tabs, but I don't have a wifi only to test with.
I haven't heard of any alternative roms for the wifi only version.

Check with Kies, see if you have a firmware update. I only have a P1000, but maybe it's similar.

EDIT: from other answers here the Sprint GB 2.3.4 ROM stock or rooted sounds the way to go, so it looks like this should work for you as it did for me on my Verizon CDMA tab.
It's hard to say for sure, experimentation is part of the fun, but killing the tab isn't. I didn't find any definitive answers on flashing a Sprint CDMA ROM on to a Verizon CDMA Galaxy Tab (for example), so I decided to try for myself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255339
I suspect doing a FULL ROM flash would be a *very* bad idea (it seems doing that with a GSM ROM on other (non-GSM) tabs KILLS it). However, the technique I used was only to apply the kernel and filesystems, so I would *think* if you had a backup from before (always best to have a backup anyway, right?) you could always revert. You may want to look around and check to see if stock WIFI images are out there (I don't know for sure) but the Voodoo or CwM (ClockworkMod) recovery backups should be fine either way.
Then if you apply the filesystem and kernel files from 2.3.4 and they don't work you should be able to revert (I would assume, I can certainly flash back and forth on mine). I would *think* the kernel supports vanilla hardware + CDMA additionally (i.e. you don't need it, but it doesn't hurt), but may be fine.
But again, unless you're prepared to take the risk, I cannot say for sure, you can wait and see if anyone else chimes in, but that's my take.

I have the P1010 also and from what I've heard, the two models (P1010 and P1000) have different hardware which makes the latter model possible for the ginger update while ours likely will never get it.
Enjoy it for what it is. That's all I can say.

Your problem is that you cant be bothered to go read or search and expect people to jump on your topic and bring all the info to you. This is XDA-developers, not tech support, try and at least help yourself first before demanding answers.

You can save a flashable ROM in the sdcard. Then if the tab got bricked, you can insert the sdcard in and reflash again. But i don't recommend doing this because me myself never flashed my tab, only my nexus one.
I was recently having issues with CM7; I wasn't able to flash off of it and back onto serendipity VII. I used the Odin one-click to put the phone back to stock firmware, re-rooted it, and flashed Serendipity VII build 3.
So, here's what it's doing: Every time it boots up, the screen gets all funny: black with all sorts of grainy, pixelly colors. That's fine; it did that before I flashed CM7. A little irritating, but should still be workable. Then a voice comes on and says: "Convert data partition. Backup operation. Restore operation. [Something something] Have now activated."
Then the phone reboots and starts all over again; same screen, same voice, same words.
Here's the killer though. I cannot get into download mode at all. No matter what I do, the phone ignores my trying to get into download mode and just goes back to the voice. Can't turn it off and hit the vol+/- and power. Can't remove the battery and hold the buttons down and put the battery back in. It doesn't work.
Any ideas on how to get past this?

U really need to read m8, use google as well to find ur answers if xda's SEARCH comes up empty. Allways read the STICKIES first. Once u have an idea how things work, read over and over the ROMs flashing instructions and only then proceed. If u feel like you don't have time for that, stock is all you need otherwise u'll most likely end up taking ur phone back to att asking for a replacement (or sending it for a jtag repair). I didn't know zip either when I first started up ,but man, reading takes u far.

1st off I didn't make assumptions as u stated what u did and was clear that in the process to get to Serendipity7, a gb rom (gb=gingerbread) u left out gb bootloaders that is a must have to run gb roms, as it was said before ^^ If u'd have been as confident flashing serendipity as u were writing that reply then u wouldn't be here in the first place. Although I'll cut you some slack since Serendipity is lacking flashing instructions . Still u shouldn't go flaming when in need of help, rather be greatful for ppl even reading you post and trying to help (that's all we wanned). Apologize for ur rookie mistake and ask what to do next, help will come - trust me. I'll give you the one where there's risk involved in the flashing procedure
As the guys, 4-2ndtwin and b-eock, said earlier @ this point u'll need a jig to force ur phone into download mode. The lady (robot) voice u heard was the voodoo lagfix (ext4) conversion which is done by the kernel.
Now once u'll be equipped with a jig and ur on dl mode flash back to stock jf6 with odin one click (optional - but I'd recomend u do a master clear) and if u'd still wanna go for serendipity then first flash a GB bootloader (i897 or i9000 -doesn't matter) followed by a kernel flash with cwm (clockworkmod recovery) backed in and last comes the rom flash. I summed it up really short ,so that u read and educate ur self . If ur looking for step by step tuturials look for them in other rom threads.

1st off I didn't make assumptions as u stated what u did and was clear that in the process to get to Serendipity7, a gb rom (gb=gingerbread) u left out gb bootloaders that is a must have to run gb roms, as it was said before ^^ If u'd have been as confident flashing serendipity as u were writing that reply then u wouldn't be here in the first place. Although I'll cut you some slack since Serendipity is lacking flashing instructions . Still u shouldn't go flaming when in need of help, rather be greatful for ppl even reading you post and trying to help (that's all we wanned). Apologize for ur rookie mistake and ask what to do next, help will come - trust me. I'll give you the one where there's risk involved in the flashing procedure
As the guys, 4-2ndtwin and b-eock, said earlier @ this point u'll need a jig to force ur phone into download mode. The lady (robot) voice u heard was the voodoo lagfix (ext4) conversion which is done by the kernel.
Now once u'll be equipped with a jig and ur on dl mode flash back to stock jf6 with odin one click (optional - but I'd recomend u do a master clear) and if u'd still wanna go for serendipity then first flash a GB bootloader (i897 or i9000 -doesn't matter) followed by a kernel flash with cwm (clockworkmod recovery) backed in and last comes the rom flash. I summed it up really short ,so that u read and educate ur self . If ur looking for step by step tuturials look for them in other rom threads.

Please explain how my replies were flaming. I never RAEGD or "OMG GTFO MY THREAD"'d or "Ur so stoopid u must be a rtard!!!! LOL"'d at all. I simply explained that I'd rather not have people calling me ignorant without basis to the claim. Also, I have no reason to apologize. Yes, I screwed something up. I did nothing to anyone here, other than defend myself when people start calling me an idiot or a noob. And it's hard to be grateful for help I'm not getting.
Apparently, I've not been clear. This is the tutorial I followed today to reroot my phone:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/02/how-to-root-the-samsung-vibrant-captivate/
The tutorial I used for the rom is linked in the one above. Never in any tutorial does it mention anything about bootloaders or jigs or anything of the sort. That stuff was never relevant the first time I rooted my phone. This is why I don't know what people are talking about; It was never mentioned, it was never necessary until now.
That said, Fulo, the second half of your paragraph was actually the most helpful information yet. Thank you.
EDIT: Thank you to whoever decided to help rather than simply call me an idiot. I can see why these tutorials don't say anything about bootloaders now. I will be creating a jig tomorrow and will hopefully have my phone unbricked. To whoever DID decide to simply call me an idiot, I hope you learn to grow up soon.
Nobody called you an idiot, I was going to help you. But then stuff happened

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.

Indeed. User obviously didnt search/search properly as I found the answer in seconds by simply using that keyword.
