Anyone got a replacement captivate from ATT lately?
I know they are coming with 2.2 but are the batches random (10XX)? Also, do recover and download mode work for them - they should on 2.2 right (but use original odin with 3 button fix just in case)?
I just received a replacement last week. Came with 2.1update. Batch 1009. 1010 I sent back. Using FireFly 2.3 now.

Thanks. Was it JF6 with working recovery?
I'm going to request a replacement I think, but if i can't downgrade and root, it's pointless.
oops wrong thread... :-/
im sorry im late to the party but i was wondering if anyone else was experiencing any trouble with trying to upgrade to 2.2 and saying the server to get the firmware was unavailable. i am running the stock rom on the phone. thanks.
The update to stock 2.2 is via Kies mini, not OTA. Search here or go to Samsung's site for the drivers and Kies mini.

hey thanks for the relpy i had already downloaded that that was where it told me the firmware was unavailable
Oh, sorry. I though you were trying to get the update by checking software update from the phone.
So, Kies recognizes your phone, but tells you there are no updates? What version of Kies are you using?

I updated my android ROM from 2.2 to 2.3.2 without doing my home work in investigating what should be checked before the flashing and now my Galaxy Tab 7'' is working with in the new version but giving error messages in the com.android.phone and I don't remember the original version of my firmware to get it back.
Pleas help!
Note: I am in Egypt and my old version used to support Arabic and my operator is Vodafone.
Can you put up what works and what doesn't with this rom? Also I would like some screen shots before I flash this. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Howard for your reply,
I am trying to do that but the problem is that i knew that there are ROM versions for regions and Operators so I can't just get any ROM and flash it and I strongly believe that I flashed an European ROM.
So what I am trying to figure out now, how can I know the right version!

If the update came from OTA then you may have to investigate what the old bootloader was, flash it using odin and let the update happen again. There is a thread here that is about an Arabic tab, so do a search for that and there should be some instructions on flashing. I'm going to do the same and report back shortly.
EDIT: It's all right here bro. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143539&highlight=arabic+vodaphone
Thanks alot for your help, i am downloading this ROM now and hope it will work
I tried the ROM you sent but it failed to install and now the Tab fail to open keeps giving me the screen of connection between the Tab and the computer and an exclamation mark between them..... did I break my tab?
Well i managed to install an older ROM 2.2 on my G Tab but i still want to install a newer version but this time i guess i will do further investigations before flashing my tab

Sorry I've been busy and I forget to subscribe to threads sometimes. Now that you have of back to stock and error free you can try for an official update. I am.assuomng you use KIES? If its available that's how you should get it. Homework is the way to go. Sorry I can't help you further.

The kies cannot determine my tab's farmware version so it cant update it so i will just wait to an official version and flash it manually

If still you're facing problems with this ROM, you can go for OVERCOME - Jupiter version. It's 2.3.3 and provide full support for Arabic.

Please provide more details so that we can help.
1. Why can't kies determine your firmware version? Try *#1234# on the dialer-what is the output?
2. There is no official firmware for manual updating. Only kies can provide "official" updates. The ones made available thru samfirmware or even the ones from here are not guaranteed to work. So just in case you upgrade manually and your tab gets bricked you cannot go to samsung and claim warranty.

OK. Hi again. I was looking at the files for the rooted .tar available for Sprint in the us amd the files are there for Arabic language which leads me to assume most of the roms might have it. I'll look into this more tonight but what I need you to do is provide a catlog that shows the fc. Apps for it are available on the market. Attach the text file with your response. Happy day.

I need to find a way to flash 2.1 eclair on my factory stock 2.2 captivate. I called att for a replacement on my old one a few months ago because my power button was broken and they sent me this new one, with 2.2 as stock firmware (JI6) and whenever I use odin one click it sends me into a bootloop. My build number is 1105. I've searched and I can't find anyone else with this problem. Is this possible? Please help me someone!

So now you have the free choice to choose your OS did you want stock OS? Do you want GB or ICS Stock? Or you want CM or MIUI there are so many guides here that tell you what you need to do just say what you want.
Besides wouldnt it be nicer to have a OS that not labeled on a Provider?
I would like ics on it

Well ICS stock rom OR CM?
You should Consider changing the Bootloader to the ICS Bootloader some bugs are resolved in this. and most new ROM´s are build for the new one.
So CM, MIUI or Stock based?
Stock
