**Captivate users please make sure you are using a custom kernel that supports this.
**Vibrant users just need to flash and you are good.
**Epic users just flash the update.zip. it appears all previous issues have been resolved. thanks to Firon for the ammends needed!
THIS NEEDS TO BE FLASHED WITH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY! THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH AN AOSP ROM. THE 1st BOOT WILL TAKE A WHILE BECAUSE OF THE DEXOPT. DON"T FREAK OUT!

NICE
What was needed to change?

not looking good so far...it took forever to boot, and had a problem loading the power widget. When I deleted it, and tried to re-add, I got a force close after choosing to add android widget. I'm rebooting now...
mm0

yeah, still doesn't work. I also can't load up the WAP...just goes to a blank screen. Samsung widgets seem to work ok.
I do have the lag hack installed. That may be an issue, not sure.
mm0

process.com.android.settings is what is forceclosing, both for the WAP, and for android widgets.

Flashed on deodexed rom. Option now comes up in settings, but hangs...

will this work for the captivate and the i9000?

Didnt work for me I got the menu entry but as soon as I select wireless ap all i get is a black screen.
I am running the vibrant 4 rom

sorry forgot to set perms in the update-script for wlp2pservice & also forgot to set the script to delete Settings.odex. will upload a fix in a few

Nice. let us know when its clear

Yeah, I got "installation aborted" - it didn't load.

Well, I did the same thing I've done before - named the file "update", left the zip extension, rebooted and told it to restore packages.....

[ROM] New Samsung JI2 Update Bundle With (EASY) Instructions

DO NOT FLASH THE VOODOO LAGFIX WITH THIS ROM!
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/SXWLND5AKI
That file contains ODIN, the 512 pit file, the original firmware and the new leaked firmware!
To use ODIN you need the samsung drivers installed. You can get them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
How to flash the update using odin.
Power phone off
Plug USB to computer but not phone
Open Odin.exe
Plug the USB into your phone while holding down the volume keys (Don't touch power!)
One of the fields will turn yellow in ODIN
Click PIT and select the 512.pit file
Click PDA and select the Update.tar file if you want to try the leaked rom or Original.tar if you want the stock rom
Click start
Odin will do it's thing and then the phone should reboot. It will take a few minutes for it to reboot the first time.
DO NOT CLICK RE-PARTITION WHEN USING Update.tar! The leaked rom does not include dbdata.rfs
If you already did that, you will need to flash back to the original rom included in the download first and then flash this new one... The original rom does include dbdata.rfs which will will repartition the phone correctly.
As always, I am not responsible for anything you do... ever...
P.S. Please don't trash talk in this thread.
Nandroid of a clean install: http://www.multiupload.com/FLX6P17XDP
I flashed back to the original rom and tried to use this nandroid to upgrade and it didn't work. Just sat at the Vibrant screen.

What it is:
Leaked rom from samfirmware.com
Android 2.1 (Eclair)
Good things:
New battery full notification
HD Camcorder (Same thing just new name)
Media Hub
Samsung Task Manager (Also available when holding home)
New Swype with the audio input!
Old Root method still works (verified)
Phone is usable during media scanning
YouTube can be set to HD
Cosmetic updates to music player
New and re-arranged browser settings
I tested GPS while driving, at 3 destinations in 3 different cities and all of them locked on within seconds! I also rebooted and tested at each location just to make sure and it grabbed immediately. I did notice while testing at home it was much faster in the Maps app then most other apps that use GPS.
Bad Things:
Can't flash JAC's kernel without modifications
Many apps missing from market There is a fix below...
Slide to unlock screen takes a way bigger slide
The lag is coming back. I'm going to pull the apps I like and go back to the stock rom worth voodoo.
Linpack (1st run) 8.13
Quadrant (1st run) 894
The only thing I DON'T like about this rom is that apps are missing from market.
I have tested on 2 different phones. 1 was normal with lagfixes, etc installed and after flashing there were weird problems with the camcorder, etc. We then flashed it back to stock using the old samsung release in odin and flashed the update, now everything is working great. You might want to revert your lagfixes or something before running this. Maybe it's because it doesn't include dbdata.rfs?
TO FIX THE MARKET:
Use something like Root Explorer to mount the system as r/w and then edit /system/build.prop
The 2 lines to update currently show
ro.build.description=SGH-T959-user 2.1-update1 ECLAIR UVJI2 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=Samsung/SGH-T959/SGH-T959/SGH-T959:2.1-update1/ECLAIR/UVJI2:user/release-keys
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Update UVJI2 to UVJFD in both lines like below
ro.build.description=SGH-T959-user 2.1-update1 ECLAIR UVJFD release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=Samsung/SGH-T959/SGH-T959/SGH-T959:2.1-update1/ECLAIR/UVJFD:user/release-keys

After you download a few apps the market will refresh and it will work again.

awesome!
I'll bet the gps fix also! this is a nice base before voodoo. thanks!
I'm going to do some tests.

Simple question...
Does ODIN work with Mac, or is it still just PC?

As far as I know, only on PC.

Which means I have to wait til I'm at work monday unless an awesome person makes a version we can flash from recovery.

Damn! Ok, I'll just bust out my PC laptop for this one. Can someone post a link to which ver of ODIN I need to downlown for this? Or is it already added in the link above?
Thanks!

Anyone have a mirror of the download? Also.. what is the leak? is it Froyo 2.2?

I have added a link to multiupload which should distribute it to several sites very quickly.

does this odin works for new hardware locked vibrants? i have mine stuck at triangle screen . and i have tried all the combinations nothing works. what do i do

This is the same odin. Try following my instructions. If they don't work for you, you are either doing them wrong or are out of luck.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Add to the good things that the Youtube app now allows you to specify HD as the preferred stream method...Samsung Media Hub working as well....though I could care less about that..

quick question boys and girls...
i'm running Win7 x64. i have read on another site that ODIN doesn't play well with x64 environments. is that why it's not detecting my phone on the com channel?

It's Fine
I was Rooted, highly modded, JAC's OCv4 lag fix ext4. many UI mods etc. everything worked flawless and all my mods are going back on without a hitch

Wrong. Windows 7 x64 + Odin works fine for me, they're probably using the WRONG drivers.

[PROGRAM] Bay_wolf's ROM Installer and Recovery App

New Program which makes this obsolete.
Link
Bay_wolf's ROM Installer:
This is just an intial release but should be fairly bug free. One known bug is that in Windows 7 (possibly Vista), sometimes after finishing the application it asks if the program installed successfully. Just press that it did successfully install and it'll go away. Just for safety on my behalf: I'm distributing this program as-is and no guarantee that it will not hurt your phone. So, use at your own risk and don't blame me for bricking your phone.
Now that the legal (save my butt) stuff is out of the way...
Before Using this program, backup using Titanium Backup if you so desire.
To use this program you need to:
Be on the stock Captivate ROM or have flashed back to it using ODIN. This most likely will not work with Captivates running Froyo.
Enable USB debugging mode- Go to settings> Applications> Development> And then check the box next to USB debugging.
Have the USB drivers for the Captivate installed on your computer. You can get them here.
Have the ROM of your desire downloaded to your hard drive.
Know a little bit about flashing and ROMs.
And that's about it. Most of the instructions are given to you by the program and are not needed to be written out here. If you find any part confusing, please comment in this thread and I'll try to implement it in the next release and I'll tell you what it means as a temporary solution.
Download: ROM Installer 1.1
Bay_wolf's Recovery App:
Also included here is an app that's just designed to reboot your phone into recovery mode. It's great for not having to press buttons after flashing to stock. Just make sure your phone is plugged in and not mounted and it'll reboot you into recovery mode when you open the program. This can be used with any Captivate and possibly more phones (can't test that as I don't have any other ones).
Download: Recovery App 1.0
Donations are appreciated if you found this program helpful:

Very intresting, will test it out and let you know how it goes.

Thanks! If you find something wrong, please let me know and I'll fix it.

Looks very interesting. Can't wait to try it out!

Updated the ROM Installer. Made some of the wording of the steps a little easier.

So this is like a easier Odin? Good idea

I like it, it is very good for beginners as they can be assured of the steps to flash a ROM. Great Job

Kind of. It's what you use after ODIN to get the custom ROM installed. Hopefully in 2.0 release it'll all be integrated.

[Q] Not the same Captivate after Advanced App Killer

I installed Advanced App Killer last night and now my Captivate has me captive. I was able to get 2 phone calls today and after the second one, my home screen doesn't show when I press the power button. When I call the number it rings until my voicemail comes on but the phone shows no signs of life. When I reboot by taking that battery out, it will boot and the screen will appear up until it scans for the SD card. Then the screen goes blank and I can't get it to come on. I recently installed SpeedMOD k13C and I have SetCPU installed. At this point all I want is a working phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1) If you can get into recovery mode use adb pull to back up any important data (photos, etc) to your computer.
2) Try to boot into download mode, flash stock and see if the phone works.
3) If you can't get into download mode try a jig, if that doesn't work I don't know what to tell you.
Edit: Oh yeah, and don't bother with app/task killers, they're pretty much useless and tend to cause more problems then they're worth.

Stop using all task killers.
Stop using SetCPU.
Check the build number of ur phone. If its 10.09 or earlier, u can use odin 1 click. If later, do NOT use odin 1 click. Search on how to make/use a JIG on these forums.
But before u do anything like odin, pls let us know the build number.

Thanks for your help. I was finally able to have the screen up long enough to uninstall Advanced App Killer. Now it seems to be working fine although people tell me that I don't sound clear on the phone. Any thoughts on that?

That sounds like a modem issue to me, which one are you using? I'm using the UGJK4 modem myself. The other ones I've tried resulted in staticy (sp?) voice calls for the other person.
Herp derp Captivate XDA app.

How can I tell what modem I'm using? I recently flashed with SpeedMOD K13C. Is there any other info you need?
Thanks.

Can I use that UGJK4 modem on a Captivate?

A different modem might do it. There's a thread with a ton of them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835272
I'm currently using JK4 on my Captivate, as it's the default in the ROM I'm using, Paragon. Working well so far.

Let this be a lesson to people who want to install a Task Killer. The most recent Android versions handle memory management quite well, and killing apps yourself is harmful to the OS.

There were several stories this week about malware infecting android devices this week through a number of legitimate apps installed from the market. I would search and make sure you didn't download any of these apps. The behaviors you were describing are very similar to phones infected. They where able to access your account and send messages to pay sites and caused other havoc. Even if you feel your phone is running fine now, it wouldn't hurt to check on it. I installed an antivirus app two weeks ago and it scans every app I install before I save it to my phone. Just a thought

E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
What am I doing wrong?

yes I believe advanced app killer was one of the apps with malware the only way to remedy this is to do a full wipe I know you dont want to hear this but odin back to stock then do a master clear then reinstall your rom if u need help pm me

It seems that ROM Manager does that for some reason since you probably have 3e recovery which doesn't allow you to flash unsigned files. Try booting into recovery manually and trying it from there. When the phone is off hold down vol up/down and power buttons. This worked for me.

Flashing new ROM appears to work but doesn't

I am new to flashing and so far with this forums help have made it to the point where I can get into the Clockwork recovery. I can select the downloaded ROM, flash it, and re-boot. When the phone reboots the original Froyo 2.2 is still there. However it's still there but missing a bunch of stuff. No martket app, etc.
Am I missing a step here?
TIA, Jeff

We don't know the steps your taking to know if you've missed one...

I suggest you download a different ROM and test it.

Good point sorry about that.
Download ROM (Firefly in this case)
Reboot into CWR
Select ROM file on the filesytem of the phone
Flashing goes thru its thing with no errors
When I reboot the system the result is as stated above

Did you download a full flash file? (1xx mb)
Also, you can rename the file to update.zip, place it in the root of your sd card (not in any file) and through cwm, reinstall package.

Thanks everyone for all the help. I FINALLY got a new ROM on this thing. I followed all the same steps as before but took the suggestion to try a new ROM. Since BWolf56 has a pretty prominent plug for Firefly 3.0 I installed that and it worked fine.
Thanks again.

To the left of the digital clock in the notification bar would be your battery then signal and left to it would be your data (3G / H).

Doh
The main reason that I went thru all this (and I am glad I did this is 100 times better than the stock ATT 2.2) was to get bluetooth voice dial..... And guess what? I get 'this feature is disabled on the connected phone' message. Should I have bluetooth voice dial with FF3 ?
I just noticed that the tethering option is disabled as well.......................
