Ok...here it goes.....
I have a AT&T, USA Captivate and i want to install the leaked froyo 2.2 on it, get all the bloatware off of it and "maybe" overclock it to 1.2 or so!!!
This is the prob.... The more I read threads on here, the more confused I get.
My wife is an IT person, so I have some back up on that end, but.....
I guess I need to know what to do, in what steps and how to do each step.
I will gladly donate funds to someone that could give me a step-by-step and what programs i need in order to accomplish each step.
FYI: I'm working off of a loptop, running windows 7........ And "NO", I have no clue what the lingo means on here.....
Some one please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
First you post in the wrong forums. you should've post in Q&A.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819105
every roms you can download on here will have instructions on how to go from there.
Wrong section. This belongs in Q&A not development.
Go in the ROM's thread. There's almost always a step by step there.
If you can't follow those directions, then im sorry, but chances are you shouldn't be flashing anything. You're going to brick something.
The Axura thread has good step by step directions. Try there first.
EDIT: Ninja'd.

Step 1: root it, find 1-click root somewhere in this forum.
Step 2: download titanium backup and rom manager from the market
Step 3: run a batch backup of your apps and info.
Step 4: put desired rom on sdcard
Step 5: install rom via rom manager.
There are some small steps I skipped, though I trust that you're smart enough to figure it out.
We were all there guys.....

I just got a G1 and I rooted it to RC-29.
I'm very new to any of this hacking stuff and I have no idea what to do next. My guess is that I need to update to RC-33 and/or firmware 1.5? Along with installing the multi touch and things like that...?
I've read up on some information and JesusFrekes or something like that used to have a lot of updates for the rooted G1, unfortunately all the download links on his site don't work so I have no idea where to go from here... Can anyone tell me what I should do?
look in androidandme.com or google rc-33 and g1 rooting and stuff, idk
If you have root now, you can flash the newest cyanogen rom. check out the cyanogen thread in dream development. JF isn't updating roms anymore. Without danger/death/haykuro special spl (search it in these forums), and seeing as how you are new to this I suggest cyanogen ROMS are your best bet Also check out www.cyanogenmod.com and the cyanogenmod wiki.

Depends... do you want a modded-roooted ROM or do you want an official update?

hi there. i highly suggest that you follow previously posted suggestions. as you can see, this is my very first message to post on this forum and i have been a member for over 2 years. i have had my dream/G1 for almost a year now. in that time span, i have gained root access, flashed a couple of haykuro's builds, flashed jesusfreke's ROM, disappeared for awhile, came back, couldn't find jesusfreke anymore. after doing some research, i discovered the genius cyanogen and flashed his ROM, and then another, and then another, until i am finally currently running the 4.2.2 version. i did all of this without knowing a thing about linux and without any hacking or programming skills. i did all of this simply by reading, researching, reading, googling, reading, reading, and more reading. i promise you, everything that you need to know - guides for noobs with step by step instructions - are here in this forum. once you find these guides, try them them out, step by step. if you hit a snag, or something goes wrong, re-read the instructions to make sure you followed them exactly. if you think you did, search for the error that you stumbled upon. i'm going to go out on a limb and say that i'm 100% positive that someone else has had the same problem and it has already been solved and someone else has probably written a guide for the next noob to read once he/she comes across the same error. but he/she just has to find said guide! once you search and find this guide, follow the instructions, if you do not understand something or simply cannot, i mean simply cannot find an answer or help to solve your problem, then i suggest you resort to asking a question. but, only as a last resort.
but, it has been my personal experience that everything i have needed has been either at this forum or found through google search. these developers have not only made me love my phone once again by developing such sweet ROMs, but they even wrote up some very easy to follow guides for the newbies so even we can enjoy them too!
so: research, read, follow instructions exactly as they say, only ask questions if you seriously cannot find the answer after doing some serious serious research, then proceed to flash your phone. hell...if this math lovin' accountant girl here can do it, i'm sure anyone can! but only after hours and hours and pages and pages of reading and researching.
p.s. the very first sticky in this q&a forum shows you what to do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563679

Dude.... WHAT?? I'm guessing you heard that on XDA is a method to put 2.0 on the G1, and instead of, I dunno, reading anything, you just created an account, skipped reading ANY of the forum rules, and posted a question asking people to hold your hand and give you information that you were two clicks away from finding yourself? This is the development section. You ONLY create a thread here if you are contributing to DEVELOPMENT. If you have a QUESTION, you post in Q&A. How hard is that????
Of course, this is bypassing the ridiculous question... why would you be running "firmwark" 1.1? If that's really what you have, then I don't think you want to root or flash 2.0. You want the latest OTA update. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Wait a day or two, and your phone will tell you there's an update available
Step 2: Click yes
Step 3: Wait while your phone updates itself
Step 4: Voila! You have the latest official firmware
Step 5: Never visit these forums again

Hi and welcome to xda!
First thing's first: Are you rooted yet? You will be limited in what you can do until you root.
Here is a step by step guide to rooting 2.1.
Here is the board with all of the Hero ROM's.
It may appear daunting at first, but it's fairly straight-forward and easy to do. Just follow the directions exactly. Also, I believe there is a one-click root app around here somewhere called Androot, I believe, but I'm not sure how well it works, as I didn't use it to root. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

user7618 Thank YOU very much for the information, I greatly appreciate the help!
t12icky0, No need to be rude, it was just a question.
I'm brand new and hoping to get some advice if possible. I was able to root the phone with no problem thanks to the One Click Root Program so thank you to the Unlockr and to the thread on here.
Now, I'm not sure what to do about a custom ROM. I honestly just want to get rid of the AT&T bloatware. Other than that I have no requirements. I don't really care other than that as long as I can get rid of things that I don't want.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

since you got root, to remove att junks: install root explorer from android market and uninstall each junk manually. for custom firmware search forum for clockwork recovery (rom manager from market) and read instruction on op to install. gudluck

Download titanium backup which is free. It allows you to uninstall apps. Even system apps. Read and be careful. For the most part avoid all Google apps
Captivate
Cog 2.4
Thank you! I appreciate the help so far.
I apologize for posting in the wrong section. I thought I was in the right place but that was my mistake.
This thread can be deleted. I was able to root it and get Cognition on it with no trouble.
Thank you to everyone involved with the development and donations will follow soon.
Can you give me a super noob step-by-step tutorial about this one

I'm in Asia so i think that it will benefit me if i do this. But the problem is I have no clue on how. It's just my 2nd week of having an android so i don't know anything about them. But I really need the voice as well as the 3g and HSDPA function of the tab.
Can anyone help me with this one? I will gladly appreciate it and will hit your thank you button in the process.
Go to the developement forum, find overcome rom, doesn't matter which one then you will find, at the bottom of the 1st post, a link to the overcome site that has the guide to flashing to gingerbread through ODIN. It also has links to all the files needed.
BEFORE FLASHING HOWEVER, GO HERE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 AND USE THE BOOTLOADER CHECK APK. It could be the difference between a brick and a successful flash...
One bit of advice, if you don't understand something, ask a question in the QA forum, NEVER in developement forum, You will be flamed and possibly reported. Make sure you read and follow steps EXACTLY or you may end up with a brick...
Cheers....
if I follow this, would i be able to have HSDPA on my galaxy tab tmobile here in asia?
