Hey,
So I'm a CDMA man myself (EVO running cm7) but my girlfriend has a Captivate and really really really wants flash. I told her the only way to get flash is to root and get 2.2 but she WILL NOT let me root her phone. Apparently she doesn't trust me that much.
Anyway I've googled this junk 13411523541324 times and nothing seems to come up. I know Samsung pulled the initial 2.2 update but is an official one even in the works? I can't find any news on it.
Thanks for anyone who responds.
I'm running Andromeda myself, but I did update my wife's phone to the official 2.2 thru Kies Mini.
Download Kies Mini. And run the update. It's the Official 2.2 update for the Captivate.

Not my wife but just about. And yeah, explaining to her what the Superuser App is would be tricky without giving away the fact that she's rooted.
She just doesn't want me to mess up her phone like I have messed up phones in the past (though I've NEVER bricked a device I have had some close calls with erasing recoveries and whatnot). If she sees an update come straight from Samsung she's more inclined to do it.
Still, she's constantly seeing all the awesome features I get from all my custom ROMs and is like "I WANT THAT" so I'm like "WELL YOU GOTTA ROOT" and then she puts her foot down. Maybe one of these days...
yeah you are kinda stuck if she wants to flash but doesnt want to be rooted.
2.2 official does have benifits and is worth doing if you are going to stay official, but if you are going to flash custom roms 2.2 will add 3e recovery and a few extra steps to then get to custom. going to custom roms is easiet from 2.1

ya def should have waited and flashed something like fresh 2.1.1 etc cause now i think your stuck.. sorry...
So wait, you flashed the "Samsung Moment" 2.1 update from Sprint and you come here expecting the "Hero" Devs to root your Moment? This is what im getting from your "Samy Oficial from Sprint" comment. I also really hope you fat fingered "Sammy" and "Official".
and another one gone... .... ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE#t=0m49s
Im starting to think maybe that "samy oficial" was supposed to be "semi official". I've been to the ghetto and way out in the country "Backwoods, W.V.", ya just need to merge the 2 to get the language.
Tried using flashrec yet? you can do it all from the phone... that is how I rooted from 1.5. all from my sdcard and flashrec. EASY too..

Unfortunately my good sir, you flashed much too early. Sprint patched the normal root method in the leaked update, so now the way we normally do it doesn't work. Damageless has released a rooted version of the leak, but it's just for the impatient people on here, so be warned. If you're running damageless 2.08.1 you'll have an update in DCUpdater within the next few days.
As to your situation, you can't go back. You've already flashed, so you'll be waiting until Damage and company find a way to root from the official 2.1, instead of upgrading from root to root. Keep your eyes peeled, and use that search bar.

He's talking about the Hero 2.1 leak from yesterday or two days before, somehow a 2.1 update for the Hero got leaked from Sprint, and it has the release keys and everything. Damageless poked around in it and deemed it legit, so our May 21st release date is looking very realistic now. He has a Hero, and he obviously flashed the leak. Little did he know that the leak fixed root, and he's gonna have to wait a long time.

How do you know he's talking about the Hero Leak? Maybe he really is talking about the Moment that was recently update...How do you even know he has a Hero to begin with?
Well for starters it's a hero forum so that would be a natural assumption. Second, if he flashes the moment rom to his hero he would be complaining about having a brick not lack of root. I'd guess there is a very tiny possibility he has a moment and posted on the wrong forum but that would be a stretchas the thread title does say hero.

You're posting in a Hero thread, and would the Moment software even work? I mean yeah people are stupid sometimes but I don't think he flashed a different phone's rom to his phone. Also, he said "samy oficial" which we have determined to mean "semi official", that would apply to Sprint's "semi official" HTC Hero 2.1 leak. Moment's update is fully official, Hero's update is semi as of right now.
I'm 99% sure he has a Hero, flashed the leaked Hero 2.1 ROM, and wants to know when 2.1 can be rooted. Unfortunately, he should've waited, because now he has to wait MUCH longer

The whole thing is his use of "semi official." Moment's update is totally official, the Hero's is a leak.

Couldn't you RUU to one of the 1.5 builds and then reroot?
Hey guys I wanted to ask a question and see what kind of feedback I get
I had a nice rooted hero but had some hardware issues and Sprint was nice enough to replace my phone
However, now I have the official 2.1 update and I know I cant root my phone again (Even though Ive tried )
My question is, I still have the unofficial RUU that was released a while back that I also used but I was able to root after that update. If I use that RUU again and install it over the official RUU, will I be able to ROOT my phone again?
Im afraid to brick my phone so all your help is greatly appreciated

Unfortunately, that will not work. It won't brick your phone either, because it won't let it flash the rom.
thanks for the info. that sucks. does anyone think we will be able to root the 2.1 soon? I miss my old phone..

I have a samsung captivate that i have updated to the leaked 2.2 froyo and needless to say it is a very nice beta version but i am looking foward to the official release my question is there anyone out there that can tell me how to flash everything back to orignal so i will be able to get the OTA update of the official 2.2 froyo noob here in desperate need of help
Sending you over that area.
Cheers,
What is it with all these noobs flashing to 2.2 without knowing how to go back before they start?
Is it some kind of epidemic taking hold? I just don't get it.
How do you start something with no idea how to get back?

Take a deep breath. Ok, there is a decent chance that the over the air update wont work for you no matter what you do. That is the bad news. Good news is that it will be available on this site almost immediately after it is out.
What rom did you flash and why are you so desperate to get rid of it? You jumped in the pool might as well learn how to swim

I flashed the leaked 2.2 rom got it off xda site figured it would be about as easy to do as jailbreaking an iphone but ill admit i couldnt have been more wrong well anyway this leaked ji6 rom has its cool parts but my phone has problems with freezing up now and various occasional hiccups tried the one click flash to stock but that made it worse so back to ji6 i went guess its too late now but just wish i could go back to stock now :-(

Amazing ain't it... Shows how anxious they all are or how little they research these things. I waited quite some time before flashing any roms on my Sprint Hero and once the 1 click rooting became available went over at least 2 dozen different roms intently before flashing CM6 and any additional oc kernels. That phone was a walk in the park compared to this one since you could revert back 100% stock with a current RUU apk.
I wonder whats going to happen when they don't release 2.2 and go straight to Gingerbread in December...how many bricked phones will there be...?
Mac
So basically I have a couple questions before flashing my phone to Serendipity 4.3
1. If I flash can I ever go back to "real stock"?
2. Since froyo is not out for the captivate. I was wondering if the 2.2 roms were real froyo roms? (Like the Serendipity 4.3)
3. Since froyo is coming out soon, should I just wait for the ATT version of froyo?
4. If I do flash, can I get the ATT version of froyo? (when it comes out)
Thanks for reading
Yes
Yes
No
And doesn't exist yet

Yes of course, all you'll have to do is an update through kies once you flash back to stock when it comes out.

As the rest have said, FLASH AWAY! Once you start, you'll see how addictive it really is. Try them all. They all have thier own pro's and con's
I sucessfully flashed my phone! I love my phone now, geezes I dont know why i waited sooooo long.
Thanks every1!
Probably going to flash a custom ROM (phoenix 4.1) for the first time this weekend. I currently have the AT&T 2.2 beta flashed from a one-click, but have never gone through the whole process. I have a couple questions.
1. Is the phoenix install instructions on the first page of the discussion in the development section complete? I was browsing through the discussion and some folks said there were some apps missing, like the music player (not that I used the stock one).
2. there are patches listed and it doesn't really say how to apply them. any guidance? rather than page through 700+ pages, is there a summary on how?
3. is there a lagfix in the Phoenix ROM or is it needed for 2.2.1 ROMs at all?

Each rom is done to the Dev's way so yes some remove some apps that they deem junk. Like all the att crapware that is installed. All the fixes are clockwork flashable that I know of. Most were for older versions of the rom. IF you follow the directions in the FAQ you will be fine, Just make sure then after you flash back to stock that you can get into recovery and DL mode with the 3 button combos just in case something goes wrong
cool thanks. looking forward to it.

Hello
I just got the vivid after unsuccessful jaunt with ICS on the international galaxy note.
I wouldnt even need to root or anything Im already ten times happier with the vivid. So glad im back to an htc device Anyhow I have already rooted it im still s-on and its all stock. I haven't flashed anything
So I searched for gb roms and all i can find is holicakes, Is that the only rom avail? I dont think i want to update to ics as i read voice dialer isn't supported for it. And since I got a sour taste for it on my note im kinda ehh no. Also I cant get the ota update anyway it searches and comes back with nothing. But Im thinking I will have to update eventually so if you think thats a better option than using an outdated (not getting updates either rom) then i guess so be it. Thoughts?
Thanks!
I wouldupdate it...your probably gonna have to do the dial trick to get it...you dial a certain number and it downloads the update...or you can download the ruu from HTC website and use that to update
