[Q] Software Updates? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was playing with ROM flashing and the like and I decided to go back to stock, so I did using the ODIN flash to JF6. However, it seems that I have trouble getting the JF7 update over the air to work. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm a Noob, but you might try Kies - It should detect a newer version available and let you update that way. Much more reliable in any case if you ask me.

You can do search flashing to stock JH7 that should help you. If no one else has sent you a link by the time I get to my computer I'll send you a link I think it will be flashing 1010 build or something like that.

I've had more problems with kies than anything else, try the samsung website to update.

I see you was wanting JF7, I don't know what the difference is but this will get you back to stock JH7 Eclair.

I tried it, it works.

Well I want JH7, but I also want to be able to get the official Froyo when or if it comes out.

Like stated above.... flash using kies mini.... then you'll be ready for official AT&T froyo.

Alright thanks for all your help, Mini Kies did the trick.

Search the site for the latest Samsung Kies application and install it. You should have no problem updating your phone with Kies, I have done it on a few occasions with no problem at all.

Hopefully when you paid for you phone with ATT you got the insurance on it, I think it's like 4.95 per month...it protects you against damage. Now it won't protect you against what you did to your phone....But it does protect you against water damage....or ACCIDENTAL dropping and cracking the screen...read between the lines, you could have a brand new phone if you can't get that one up and running again....now there is a deductable, but noting like spending another 200.00 on anothe phone...

Are you a total idiot? There is no need for that Samsung mini kies from the state your phone is in will update you to the JH7 ota update and it is safer. @ Stewart Dude don't offer wrong advice you sound like a **** in all your posts and you aren't being helpful. Don't be a troll.

Pwned!
sixxbob, the Mini Kies route will work fine. I just came back from Cognition 2.2 beta 7 and used this method to get the JH7 update.
If you downloaded a cog rom on the same download page is the jh7 OTA. Flash it. But serriously I am on beta 6 and I can not see going back unless it is for another custom rom

I thought the odin update was the JH7 update?
You should be able to update using that.
With my phone using Cognition, because it just runs better.

[Q] JH7 Odin?

Ok, so I have Froyo on my Captivate from a looong time ago, but now I want to put in Andromeda 2.0. I followed the directions but then it says i have to get back to stock firmware. I got my Captivate on October 25, so it had the JH7, so now I need to get back to that firmware. Anything before that would brick my phone, so I'm trying to find an Odin restore that will get me back to JH7. And yes, I have googled it up a lot. Could you tell me or post a link, where I might find it?

1) Wrong section
2) You really do not need to go back to stock, that is just a disclaimer used. If you understand you have the possibility of bricking your phone than just flash the ROM. I will help you search but if you search the Dev forum rather than google you will find the thread for JH7 Odin. The only time you really need to go back to stock is with a bad flash, which sometimes can be fixed by flashing the ROM a second time.
Ok thanks, sorry for the wrong thread I'm just about to do the Andromeda 2.0 now.
Also, so it doesn't matter that I have the leaked 2.2 firmware, I can still download it with that rather than the 2.1?
yes you can flashhhhhhhhhhhhh if you don't make your phone into a paperweight
I got a replacement 1010 with jh7 installed and had no issues using the odin ji6 one click restore on it.

No technically you do not need to go back to stock but it is always a good idea. No matter what phone model or what stock it came with going back to jh6 is the best bet. It is the tried and true method and better then jh7.so just use the normal common odin

You could just flash over but the thing you would have to get past is 3e recovery there is a fix for that. I think there was a time when all new roms in xda were based on official 2.2 software back in october and november of last year and it had 3e, and the easiest way to get past it was to flash stock first. also there are two versions of odin you should try to get familiar with and a recently updated wiki sorta thread should be useful for up to date info. Hope this helps.

Go ahead and bring it to stock + update to Froyo.
Also, so it doesn't look so weird, use it for a couple days so there's data and cache lol

lol yeah probably a good idea. although i hate the idea of running it stock for more then 2 minutes
Running it for a few days and adding froyo probably not necessary. I would reformat my phone to stock in order to remove all personal data before i send it in.

i was thinking the same in that most people would factory reset before sending phones in but i was thinkin froyo might be smart because it would be 100% stock then im not sure if our 1 click stock is 100% in their eyes

Idk how much they actually check it - I assume it's kinda random so I wouldn't take any chance.
Odin3 one click does bring it to stock but having Froyo might look better and show that it wasn't just brought back to stock (along with some cache and data).

While we are on the subject, IS there a 1-click for Froyo (stock)? I ask because i've been hearing rumors of it, and i just havent had the time to investigate.
If there WASN'T a 1 click stock (froyo) then disregard my question. However, does that mean the only way to upgrade to Froyo (stock) is through CWM? I know people have been doing it through Kies, but i'm not a big fan.

Idk if there is but tbh it wouldn't be so useful as 2.2 as recovery problem which requires 3e recovery fix so makes flashing more painful.
There's although Odin 1.81 which you can flash Rogers (I896) version of Eclair (duno if there's one for 2.2 - haven't really looked into it as Kies mini works well)

Thanks!
there have been several threads on this
ODIN ONE CLICK (and the other) CAME FROM SAMSUNG
so YES the odin one click is STOCK. ITS WHAT THEY USE to refurb ATT phones.
there has been no ODIN one click 2.2 leaked to the net.
we dont have the source code so we cant update the 2.1
how much do they check your phone? very little. the internal guts to replace at their cost is less than 50$. They have dozens of phones from each different model come in every day. They have about 10 minutes to hook it up to a machine that runs hardware tests for them. then it gets gutted. It is not worth their time to *see* what is on the phone. They only care if it works or not. so they can move to the next phone in the bin.
stock 2.1 is fine if it came with 2.1
2.2 if it came with 2.2. there are CWM 2.2 upgrade flashes available. use rom manager/ the update.zip method of CWM to install 2.2 then delete the update.zip and rom manager app.

Not necessary. Just odin and kies.
I would master clear anyway if I were stock. Just go back to stock, update froyo and that's it.
If he flashes 2.1 (JF6), couldn't he run the software update to get JH7?

[Q] Odin from 2.2 to 2.1, kies mini back to 2.2?

Heres my situation, I received a new phone from AT&T after a warranty claim, the new phone was running stock 2.2. I didnt want to mess with trying to root/flash the phone when it was on 2.2 because I understand that it is different, so i simply used Odin to get back to 2.1, and then flash a new rom. At this point, in order to get back to stock 2.2 should i flash back to stock 2.1, and then use kies mini to get to 2.2? or is there an easier way? Any input would be great! Thanks!

HELP ME!!!!!

Hey guys...I need help. I used odin one click to restore back to stock JF6 and tried to use Kies to get to stock 2.2 just b/c I decided I liked stock 2.2. Well, for the first time ever, Kies says "unregistered device", now I have never had this problem. What should I do, to get it to work?
I'm on AT&T. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and kies. I tried reflashing to stock JF6 and Master Clear several times, and I am still getting the same thing.
Use Odin and flash Froyo from Download mode.
http://www.techpetals.com/how-to-in...d-2.2-froyo-for-samsung-captivate-leaked-2295
This is leaked froyo. I want the official build from kies.
Is it possible your nv_data.bin got changed? You might look into that and read up on how to fix it. Just a thought. I think that might have happened if you ever flashed Gingerbread. But I don't remember the exact details, so look into it youself.
Edit: After looking around a little bit, I found that you might try using the Odin 3 one-click tool to do a master clear. Then try kies mini and see what happens. Oh, and did you use kies or kies-mini?
Please use more descriptive thread titles.
