[Q] How to Upgrade/Update Samsung Captivate to Android 3.1 - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Browsing the Internet I stumbled across this article.
How to Upgrade/Update Samsung Captivate to Android 3.1 - Internet Service Provider
http://www.venusvenera.com/2011/05/how-to-upgradeupdate-samsung-captivate.html
The article describes downloading file hc_NS_test-8.1.zip.
If you google "hc_NS_test-8.1.zip", you will see the similar articles for other phone manufactures from the same domain. Hmmmm
...and nothing here at xda. Is this legitimate of fake?

To me it looks fishy and smells fishy but that's just me.

first off this is the wrong section and second 3.1 is ONLY on the xoom and has not been released as a source as far as i know (i may be wrong). and third you know somethings fishy when they spell half the tech words wrong and dont actually give you any links. also if you scroll down theres a load of adds and "instructions" on how to do this on every single android phone... FAKE

Cool story bro.
I didn't even think 3.1 was out for XOOM and co yet?

(Never mind) I thought the New iPad 2 runs Android Honeycomb!

I just saw it in the Telemundo Noticias, the new iPad 2 from Apple and they didn't mentioned nothing interesting other than it's thinner.
But !
Edit:
They showed a tab running Gingerbread...
They're stupid they should have shown in the preview the current iPad, not one with Android :/
I think they can release one with Mac OS X, but that they can doesn't mean they should....
They want people to get high-tech little by little so their win extends. If you know what I mean....

You can't believe everything you see on the internet, I doubt apple is going to leave their previous Ios for honeycomb. As great as that would be. But I'd need a link to convince me you're not just blowing smoke out your ass haha

Anything apple running android would basically be apple saying you win android. Stupid to even think its running honeycomb.

The iPad 2 is running iOS 4.3
Comes in black and white
Other then being thinner and having 2 cameras its the same thing.
What made me rage was how Steve was bragging how the App store has 65,000 apps, and the Honeycomb has only 100. Um, hello, iPad is out for over a year, the Xoom isn't even out yet...I think. If it is, only a few days.

I think you may really need to get your eyes checked out. Either you where looking at another tablet, or your eyes were playing tricks on you, over all those pics of the Xoom you've been looking at haha.

Naa, I've said it already the note was that they talked about the upcomming iPad 2, that it was gonna be mad thinner than the first, I thought that it was it what they were showing, because I haven't seen much about tabs so you should understand I was cofused.

S-off discussion: Can we look to Rezound for help on root?

Hey guys, it looks like the HTC Rezound is close to getting S-Off by Evil. If you didn't know, the Rezound has had a locked bootloader all this time just like us. Can we look to how they got root to help with our own efforts. The method of getting S-Off between these two phones can't be that different, can it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375598
EDIT: Apparently links to his site are prohibited. But just google "s-off think tank" to get to Evil's site.
They look close resembling. Worth a shot and try.

I'm pretty sure the internals are very very alike too. The only difference I've read is the screen size. They both came out around the same time, so I'd think they'd be locked in a very similar fashion.

If they are very close then you can take their way and use to the Vivid bootloader

I hope so... That seems to be a pretty good option right now. I posted this same thing in the "think tank" thread in the dev section, so hopefully a skilled dev can take it into consideration.

So would we use his exact method? Or would we have to tweak a few little things? I know for many Samsung phones, you can use the universal SuperOneClick root. Would it work kind of like that?

Apparently he is very very close. The link said days, if not hours away. Would he be the one to tweak it for us or would one of us have to? I'm not even sure if we could post our version on here though, XDA is pretty ant-anything that involves him. Maybe he could post our version on his site.

For the record, evil is not wanting it released here without his permission as well. You can link his twitter, but you can't link his site, due to him charging for a root exploit for the shift.

Look, I don't like the guy and I think his attitude is terrible and he deserved the ban he got. But can we refrain from saying stuff that isn't true? It does nothing for guiding people to an eventual unlocked rezound (or vivid in this case). Open is supposed to be was android is about... not squelching possible advancements based off a personal problem.
C'mon now you're a moderator. Please conduct yourself accordingly. You could have left it at, "You can link his twitter, but you can't link his site."

As I appreciate your enthusiasm for moderating me. The statement was made intentionally. As I have had this thread topic in multiple forums and the dev in question prompts flaming from discussion as to why we can't link his site. Most people on here either love or hate the guy, I am cool with him. My statement is made because that's the reasoning behind not linking his site. I can post it when I did or we could wait until it was asked, I chose the pre emptive approach to avoid someone literally saying something negative about the dev and xda. If you have an issue with my statement please address a senior mod or admin.
I'm not a douche bag here, I treat you all with respect and do what I can to help. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing this information. Honestly we do care and are very greatful for it, its just we needed that little bit more info on the source, as you may have seen its very easy for people to just claim they know things and post them publically and with tensions running so high as we are very happy about the device I feel many of us jumped to conclusions.

My suggestion, dont use safe terms like:

"I cant go into names"
"If people don't like it i would suggest don't reply"
It sounds very fishy and not very convincing
FYI, there are haters everywhere
