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... :-/

Hi,
I have an I897 from at&t but I'm in canada on rogers. Rogers came out with official 2.2 yesterday.
When I try to update using samsung kies it tells me my device uss not supported. Rogers model is I896.
Is there a way to trick kies so I can get the official rogers 2.2?

Does your phone have a software update option in the settings menu? The AT&T Captivate does (not that it does anything for us ).
Ya it does but using it tries to connect to at & t server.
I installed the leaked 2.2 but it's also an at&t flavor.

Can't happen. Just flash to JF6 then run kies mini to get KB1

Superoneclick works alright. I've heard it doesn't root official KB1 yet. I could be wrong Cuz I think the official KB1 is garbage. If you want KB1 then flash cognition.

No, I've heard that SuperOneClick is pretty much the "only" way it'll root the official 2.2 KB1.
Ok, I upgraded with kies, and got kb1( uckb1), and I rooted with superoneclick (1.7). No problem at all, but I did use a computer running windows 7.
About ji6. There is now an Odin for UCJI6 (i think it is one click, but not sure). I found the link somewhere in the forum,i don't have it handy.
If I find link, will post.

Yeap, you should be fine to use any of these ODIN files.
2.1 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBSMALFJ
2.2 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QL6NX702
If you need instructions, just yell again
I would probably recommend the 2.2 one (if you're not going to flash any custom ROMs).
If you are thinking of custom ROMs, then I recommend going to 2.1.

Many thanks to Venomio for these links. He supplied them to me in the course of another problem I had.
Hah funny story
so here is a funny story,
so I flashed using odin back to jf6 and then used kies mini to get to kb1, but halfway through the upgrading process the kies mini force closed and my phone was semi-bricked. I sent it into samsung. it came back, same cosmetic wear, ENTIRE inside of the phone was replaced
Wow. What build number is your Cappy now then?
They sent me one with kb1

I have been flashing ROM's for months but it has been forever since i used ODIN to go back to stock. I am wanting to try Cyanogenmod 7 but I want to work out how to go back. I have ODIN3 V1.0 and I know I am to choose repartition option. Since I havent done this in forever, I am not sure what to choose for PDA, Phone, CSC, PIT. Maybe I am using the wrong version. I am assuming I cant use the Odin one click downloader to go back to stock.
I knew all this at one point but it has literally been 4-5 months since I did it so if someone would clarify these points it would help. I REALLY hate to post this question but I simply do not remember.
Thanks.
Odin one click to stock should work if you are build 1009 and lower.
Only if you are trying to get rid of cm7
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium App
I am build 1007. I have looked into this more and it states that I need to check repartition and you cant do that through the ODIN one click downloader that I can find.
I doubt I would got back to other ROM's but I want to have the option and frankly I should know how to do this anyway. Must be getting old or something, they say the memory is the first thing to go....or something like that....cant remember.

Just for the record, Build 1008, at least in my case, took being one-clicked very poorly. I've used v3 ever since and had no trouble... at least with flashing back to stock. I do use the 1-click to master-clear, however.
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!

Hi folks,
So I managed to brick my Tab last night after too much system tampering and experimenting.
I can still access download mode and recovery so hopefully Odin can sort me out.....................................
BUT.........STUPID ASS ME never made note of the exact firmware that my tab was running!!!! And as now I cant get into the Tabs settings obviously I cant retrieve it!?
Does anyone know the exact firmware number that a UK GTP1010 bought a month ago will be running? Or does anyone have one that they can check for me?
Hey did you get a response to this? I have one and can check,
