One quick question… if i root and install the 2.1 ROM will i still be able to update the firmware regularly through the phone’s update firmware feature under settings/about phone/system updates/firmware update?
Nope.
If you want to go to official 2.1 when its released, you'll have to go back to your stock 1.5, and then update in the settings>about>...etc. menu..
FYI. When the official update is released, the exploit used to gain root will most likely be patched, and you'll be stuck on that firmware until somebody finds another exploit.
Keyboard lags?
I'm an idiot and can't tell the difference between reply to post and new topic.

I'm using Pancake2.1, and the keyboard with no feedback lags like a b****.
I've noticed this in other roms, too. I think it's the modified keyboard..Anyway, any ideas on what to do, or where to get the default one?

okay, TOTALLY the wrong thread radxcoresteven. if you need help, post that in the pancake 2.1 thread, please.
and secondly, please please STOP posting these threads that are titled "please help!", "i need help", "HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!", "OMG WHAT HAPPENED". they provide no information at all. for your issue, why not make the thread title "does using 'update firmware' work on rooted 2.1 roms?". it makes much more sense.
and no, the update firmware option won't work on the rooted roms. like it was said before, you'll probably have to go back to 1.5. or use an official RUU.

If you go with official releases you can forget using any root apps.. I use adfree, autokiller, drocap, etc. Upgrade now and then you can upgrade to a pre-rooted version of 2.1 from XDA Devs when the final release 2.1 comes out...that is if Sprint ever wraps up their final release.
I feel like an idiot..I thought it hit new topic..lol
Sorry.

this is why ill wait until the final comes out and we get a rooted / custom rom made of it.
Your answer...
Type
2.1 official upgrade into the search bar in the top right corner of this page, under the search tab...
Read a little bit, and there you have it...
You people answering these questions are just feeding an endless chain, look at how many "IF I CAN UPDATE TO 2.1" threads there are....
Ignore them, and force people to stop being lazy.. And then the threads die away...
Well thank you all for your help. i have rooted and installed 2.1 but plan on going back to 1.5 when the actual update comes out.

You said it!
I'm currently using the CyanMod 508 but I would like to use stock Froyo until CyanMod releases a ROM with Froyo. I found this:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/05/23/how-to-get-froyo-for-rooted-nexus-one-users/
Can anyone tell me if the phone will get the OTA update for the newer Froyo versions with this? Or will I have to manually update it? Thanks
Anyone? Please let me know.
when will the official froyo rom come out? If I flashed this leak build, will I be able to still update to the official froyo when it comes out? This is what stopping me from flashing the leaked build. But, still get excited about this leaked build.
You can always flash the leaked build now, and then once news of the official build is known you can use the odin one click flash back to JF6 and then update.
Do not think anyone know when the finial build will be out, it they do they are not telling.
With the first update that came out and failed for a large amount of people here, your guess will be as good as mine or anyone else, if Froyo will fail in the update process also.
Not to be "that guy" but I think this thread might be better suited to the Captivate Q&A section
This has been covered many times sense 2.2 dropped last night.
Please use the search function to look for the answer before opening a new thread
hi guys (and girls!)
i searched for a post that explains a bit about my problem but i couldnt found anything so i decided to open one by my self
well i was patient when it was published that froyo will be delayed from Sep. to end of Oct.
but now when it's finally out the Kies doesn't give me the option to update it
does anyone know what should i do to update it? official/officially?
sorry for the noobish question
and by the a way i have a i9000xxjf5 firmware on my sgs
Moved to Q&A as not development
What i understand so have Samsung removed that firmware and delay it to November
Sent from GT-I9000 Jpm with z4mod
just got a replacement captivate from AT&T and was running a custom rom on my old one... trying to go to cognition 4 but everytime I use rom manager to try to install it signature verification fails. im rooted and have odin'ed it... what else can I try here???
its running the stock 2.2 that AT&T has out now... my previous rom flash (old phone) was starting from pre-2.2 and was flawless.
thanks!
Wrong section, but im sure you can use dgs 1-click gb package.

But seriously look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052991 This should help.
