My mom has a captivate running stock android 2.1.
I only enabled lagfix on her phone and nothing else.
After the official froyo came out I was thinking about updating it.
I have a few questions about it. Please answer as many as you can...
1. Will all apps disappear?
2. If yes for #1 do I need to get titanium backup?
3. Do I disable lagfix?
Please help.. thank you

Here's your answer, search the forums. You will find it.
1. All apps will dissapear! Be warned
2. You should use titanium backup thats a good idea but the kb1 must be rooted and sideloading enable to get them all back (use super one click) also put the titanium backup folder on external sd or on computer just in case
3. YES DISABLE THE LAGFIX VERY IMPORTANT

Thanks for the reply!. Would have caused a great trouble if I didn't question this...
Anyway just wondering, if I just had the captivate and did not know anything about root/flash/etc I would have just updated and gotten everything deleted right?
Did Samsung mention the fact that all my apps would have disappeared?. I just think its unfair to some people....

With normal android devices this would not have been an issue as the apps reinstall when you light into your Google account but that feature is missing from the Galaxy line

Yea, you should take all the important folders off your internal sd card like the titanium backup folder and put them spmewhere on you computer, that's what I did and once I updated I got all my files back, I still needed to root/enable sideloading to get my apps from TiBu back

Yes, it would have gotten deleted even if you hadn't upgraded to the ji6 build of froyo

Is that true? Now it makes sense why nothing seems to happen when I go to a new rom.
No clue... Probably a comp or browser

First of all,hi all,newbies here.. Bought my O2X for about a month n flashed a few custom roms..question is,i read somewhere that 'restoring data' after flashing roms can cause battery drain issue,is that mean restoring thru recovery or titanium backup? I always use titanium backup n restore app only,afraid of the batt drain issue,but it gets annoying coz i need to set up everything again.(account login,settings).

Only restore "user apps", not system data when coming from another rom.
Sometimes restoring user apps WITH data can cause problems, like batterydrain. For example when going from froyo to gingerbread.

Which means everytime we flashed new roms,we need to setup all the accounts n apps settings again,rite? I thought it can be easier. ;-P

not really, when staying on froyo rom (MCR Kitchen for example), just flash over new rom, you will keep your data ...
when flashing new baseband -> also just restore backup in CWM
when changing to CM, i would recommend using titanium or mybackup pro to restore your apps (exclude system apps in backup, cause they are different !)
but when you´re staying on CM , just flash new rom, you will keep your data !

i came from fr14 to fr18b2 without wiping anything !
i would only wipe once when you plan to move to cm, but when you stay on MCR based roms, just reflash rom and enjoy !

Fear, BlazingDragon, they are all based on MCR, so it shouldn´t be a problem ...
just try out, in worst case, when facing a bootloop or some other problems, you can wipe anyway afterwards ...
so it´s good to have a "titanium" or "mybackuppro" backup for worst case
Ok thanks dude!

just wanted to know if there are any things i should watch out for when switching over to a Samsung rom from CM7?
currently i have a standard CM-style setup ie. CM7 nightly #104, CWM 3. Baseband version is JVK.
any particular rom you would like to recommend?
Just remember your Odining skills, backup your stuffs, wipe cache and data things and flash a stock rom with on 100% battery. After that flash whatever rom you like.
well i came from miui.... backed up some apps like whatsapp etc.. full odin jvs rom + repartition.. all is good.. doubt i'll go back to miui or cm7

As well as the actual Rom the Rom zip should contain a .pit file put this in the "pit" section of odin an tick reparation, add other files to their respective place and flash.
It might pay to take a look at some of the guides around so you know exactly what you are doing.

At the moment I'm on stock JVS with semaphore kernel and stock+ addon (in the theme section) for extended power menu and asop lockscreen. Seems stable and responsive, maybe not as quick or customizable as CM7 but for the moment it is doing me well.
Apologies for multiple replies.

Ive flashed back to stock multiple times and I DO have signal with stock. But when I flash a rom, I lose signal. There is nothing under APN list

Flash a modem. Jk4 is kind of a standard one for I9000 roms. Look in the modem thread. Also, cm/ics roms use a different install script as regular (stock base) roms. Be sure to get the right one,k or it still won't work.

Ive flashed a modem it doesnt help, When I go into phone info mostly everything is either N/A Or unknown. I flashed back to stock. I have never ran into this before. I dont know whats causing my phone to do this. I started 2 days ago when my phone randomly started rebooting. So I flashed back to stock(With bl) and now whenever flash a rom everything is unknown.
Whats the standard SGH-i897 modem?
Also this started happening after I started using Devil kernel inside my own roms.
I've had this exact issue before, right after I flashed GB bootloaders I flashed them again and it worked.
On a side note, are you restoring a nandroid?

No I usually flash back to stock before I Flash a new rom Ive already flashed stock 2.3.3 WITH BL and then I flash a kernel with CW and then I flash a rom. Ive never had this problem before. And I dont know how to fix it
Try the KK4 One Click I put together here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912
Just curious...what specific Stock package were u flashin back to before? It sounds like that stock package did not contain the default apns...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Are you flashing the right type of modem? Aosp (cm, MIUI,ics) uses a different install script in the zip. It installs to a different place. Samsung based roms can actually use Odin to flash them, if you make a tar.md5 file for it. If you use the wrong type of install script, it won't work.

I flashed the I897UCKF1 from that post. Ive flashed my OWN rom, which means I control the modem, It just started doing this, and I am stuck on Stock until I figure out whats doing this. Ive tried multiple modems, Nothing gets and APN or Network operators on either list.
Try starting from the kk4...then flash kk4 corn kernel to get cwm then go from there.
Worth a try.

Wait, when you open the apn menu, there's nothing there? Try resetting to default apn.

That was a known bug with the leaked kf1...forgot about that.
Oooor he could stop using the kf1 and go to kk4 when needed

i am having the same problem. the only rom that ive been able to run that i have signal with is Team Nyx (ICSSGS) RC5, all the others ive tried i get no signal or data. does anyone have any ideas why this is? if you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. i don't know too much about the whole process, but i followed the instructions written in the threads, just this one problem...
im sticking with Team Nyx's ROM for now but i would like to be able to run custom ROMs, not just stock ICS. Thanks for any advice.

Hello,
I have had some issues with a ROM (Extreme ICS) and had to reinstall it.
I backep up everything as Nandroid Backup, because there were several bootloops, everytime stuck etc. and when I restored it, again bootloops.
I restored only "data".
Now, I flashed CM9 and tried to restore only the "data" at "advanced restore", but again, it stucks at the CM9 boot screen and is loading .. now since 10 minutes ..
Tried it with DevilKernel and Semaphore and stock CM9 Kernel of course.
Nothing.
Can I do everything ? Any ideas ? I want to have my apps like colorNote again
Thank you,
YEA64
Restore data one app at a time, and no system data, then you can find the data that is causing problems

Damn .. so I can't do anything .. ?
It boots until the boot screen of the ROM .. it passes the Kernel logo and so on .. but it "loads" to a long time, so in your opinion it is non sense to wait ?

I would go for a clean instal, I go back to gb every month or so, just to keep it clean and slick, only takes an hour to clean flash and restore back to where I am on slim, then as soon as I'm back and clean I do fresh nandroid and I know I'm safe and protected, might sound over the top but I give a lot of advise on slim thread and I need to know what works, what are bugs, and what is caused by user mess ups!
