Are you rooted?
If the answer is yes it Is easy. If no move on

Post your specs. so we know what you are working with. Things like Rom, Kernel etc. This makes a huge difference bc if you flash the wrong one, you will have a $200 paper weight and will need instructions on how to fix that too!! Go ahead and install Rom manager if you haven't already too; You will need that. The free version is fine but the paid version supports the dev which you should do.

Hi guys.
I have my captivate running froyo. that's about all I know, though. I was hoping someone could tell me what rom I am running or distro I am running, because I am clueless. I have heard cognition is good, and if I can update to it without losing all my settings I will (assuming I dont have it now. I could, like i said, clueless.). Here is what my phone says in the about phone section:
Firmware version: 2.2
Model number SAMGSUNG-SGH-I897
Baseband version: I897UCJI6
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee(at)sep-11 #1 (sorry for wording it this way, i could not post the topic with the at symbol because it thought it was an outside link)
Build Number: FROYO.UCJI6
ok, that's everything I think. Now, if someone can help me root this version, that's just dandy. If not, I would be willing to update to one that has a viable root availible for it already. I had eclair rooted before updating to froyo, and I miss my wifi tethering and backups.
Thank you in advance to anyone who offers help, I greatly appreciate it.
Hey I'm sorry I can't really help you, but I'm running the eclair rooted and I've been trying to get wifi tethering working but it just force closes everytime. If you could let me know how you were able to do it or point me in the right direction I'd be forever grateful.

You are on the original leak of froyo. I am not sure how to root it. If I were you I would back up all my apps using titanium backup, flash stock with odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Then look at flashing a 2.2 rom that us pre rooted
You can not flash a rom from the leaked version you are on

no offense taken, my reason for making a new thread was because I did not what version I was using, and therefore could not sort out what information was applicable. But, either way, thanks!
With a triumphant thrusting of both fists in to the air, losing my balance in my chair and falling to the ground upon seeing the little "superuser permissions" app after reboot, you have my eternal gratitude. Thank you so much!
Edit: oh crap... now my menu, home, back and search buttons do not work! any idea what I can do to fix this?
Not a problem. I am happy it worked out
edit. Try reboot. If that don't work an odin flash will do it but you will lose apps and settings

dernit. It did not work. well, at least i got it rooted, it's a good start. maybe i can figure it out
What did you do. it will suck but if you take your time you can get through. I would work toward getting titanium downloaded. You nasty have to reboot a couple of times.
I would get off of ever leaked froyo either way, if you are ever going to move to something else you will have to flash stock

im thinking I'm just going to go back to eclair, and root. I could do everything i wanted to on that, except for having flashplayer. so yeah. I guess, since all my contacts are synced with my gmail account, it's no big deal. i can re-do my home page and reinstall my apps thanks to appbrain. I mean, after all, it's just a phone.
That is correct. It is just a phone. If you are at all unfamiliar with odin our ned help getting back to 2.1 on me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
before I start counting my chickens, let me wait for them to hatch. I've been following the directions for flashing back to 2.1, so i'll let you know how it goes.
Edit: It worked, now I just have to set up everything and re-install my apps. Thank you for your help, I'm just taking the "patience is a virtue" approach from now on haha. only thing I will really miss is the little arrow thing that makes it easier to pick a spot in a body of text. oh well
There is a basic no frills froyo rom in the developement section. I believe its ji6 optimized or something like that. It comes with 2e recovery and root access built in. Sorry I just log off my computer otherwise I would post you links. But backup with tibu. And take a look at that rom in the developement section. You will need rom manager from the market. But after downloading ji6 optimized,copy to your internal sd card. Then open rom manager and select install rom from zip. Select the froyo rom and follow instructions. You will then have a rooted froyo minus att bloat with flash.
I would give more detail but I have thumb cramps now lol. But tomorrow I can help if u need it.
I Recently Went To Remove A App From My Home Screen & When I Did I Noticed The Same App Was Still There In The Same Spot! So For The Hell Of It I Went Ahead & Moved Another App Just To Find Out That Every App & Widget On My Phone Had A Duplicate Under It! I Then Went Ahead And Took Both Off, & Replaced Them With A New Icon (Same-App) & It Seemed That My Phone Got Faster! One Issue Is That The Sense Clock Widget Would Not Recognize Being Long Pressed, So I Had To Reinstall The Clock Widget, Which Automatically Rebooted My Phone For Some Reason! After Reboot All Was Fine, Until Today When It Happened Again.... My Question Is WHAT THE HELL IS CAUSING THIS??

No, there isn't. Maybe the Rom file you downloaded was corrupt. Try re-downloading it and flashing, and if you still have problems do a logcat and send it to the dev who made it.

No, I haven't and won't. I don't like sense at all. Plus, it's a sense THEME, not a sense ROM. Sense is tied in with the framework so much you can't just pick and choose what you want from it.

Hello I just started flashing roms from my phone with astro manager and everytime I download a new rom it doesn't flash the entire rom. It flashes part of it and leaves half if the other roms on my phone. Its not that they are the same because if see all of them before and now they look different and don't have all the cool stuff
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Not really sure how you're flashing ROM's with Astro?
Go to the Dev section and read through the guides. You should be using ClockworkMod Recovery to flash. Install Clockwork, reboot into recovery, wipe data, flash your Rom.zip, enjoy.

Where to begin?
I told you astro allows you to download roms to your phone directly, not actually flash a rom.
You should take a step back, I think it would be in your best interest to read more, ask more questions, and understand what you are trying before you try it.
You recovered from one soft brick, but that was only with step by step instructions. Knowledge will help prevent that from happening again
Yes guys I'm sorry, I meant I'm using astro but I'm flashing like im supposed to. The reason I asked the question was to find out how delete all my data work deleting important stuff. In recovery mode, I see delete cache data and delete user data (or something like that) and I didn't want to screw it up, bit i also want all of the rom, which I'm not getting. Please just tell me how and ill read the dev stuff asap

but that still didnt answer the question that was asked.
what do you think you are missing? apps? thats by design, you need to restore them with titanium backup.
stock bloat? by design
what specifically do you think you are missing on these roms?
I realize its a stupid answer but I don't really exactly know. The only thing I know is that I had a very long list of apps FROM THE ROM and now I dont. Maybe its just me but has anyone seen anything like this? If not then so be it, close the thread and ill deal with it.

Yes you can theme a stock rom. And overclocking can only happen with a kernel that is ready to support it.

So after I root my wifes captivate with super one click, I can install current nightly with google add on through Rom manager? She had an HTC aria running current nightly and I had to do it always through CWM. Which is not a problem. its because ROM manager didn't work with HTC arias. A little buggy here and there.But I heard its allot easier through ROM manager. But is it safe? Thxs guys.

rom manager is terrible on the galaxy s phones
Thanks. good to know. I'll be doing it from CWM then.
i am not knocking koush and all those involved with ROM manager. i bought the premium version for my other phones, and i love it, but i have to blame samsung and their method of recovery. rom manager just doesnt play well with galaxy s phones. it 'sort of' works once you have CM7 installed. again, its not rom managers fault, its the crappy recovery we have to deal with.

Personally, i stay away from ROM Manager, because CWM works better for me anyways, and i can guarantee that i know EXACTLY whats going on while its flashing...plus ROM Manager, like stated before, SUCKS on Galaxy S devices..
