I received a new replacement captivate from at&t with 2.2 already loaded on it. Does anyone know if the bootloaders are the same that are needed to run GB roms? Is there a method of identifying which bootloaders I have? I'm dying to jump on a GB rom, but I don't trust my laptop at the moment so I don't want to use Odin. I read in another post that phones updated through official kies were loaded with the GB compatible bootloaders. Just wishful thinking really. Thanks!

Well considering 2.2 is not GB then no they are no the bootloaders for GB. The leaked version has new bootloaders. Odin is your only shot
Figured as much. Guess i'll use a friend's pc when i have time. Thanks for the reply!

Hi,
I bought Samsung Captivate in US and now use it in India. I would like to upgrade to android 2.2 official version but am not sure how to do it without using att network.
Would appreciate your help if you can point me to any existing thread or any instructions on how to upgrade.
Thanks,
Vijay
Didn't think there was an "Official" OTA from AT&T. I know Rogers received an update but not AT&T.
If there is you would be able to get it in the Dev forum as I'm sure someone would have created an Odin 1-Click for it.
If you're that anxious to add Froyo, your best bet is to use a port of the Rogers release. I think the latest Cognition has it. Otherwise wait a little longer to see if ATT does release an update and someone will surely create a ROM that you can flash.

For how to install custom ROMs, use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
For custom ROMs , there are many..
use cognition based on the Rogers official build

Thanks for your response and help. Surprised to know that att has still not launched the froyo version since its' available by Samsung directly.
I am new to this forum and the whole installing custom roms process so appreciate the links.

Hi guys put my phone on kies today and a new firmware version is ready to download came up..
i thought yes i have somehow got gingerbread..
when it completed it says froyo 2.2.1 firmware version what the hell is this??
My phone is in the UK on Three network i900nejs2
there are many versions of 2.2.1 maybe you just got a newer version.
there is a way to spoof kies into making you get the very latest release. or you could just flash gingerbread yourself through Odin.
or try one of the many many custom GB ROMs
how do i spoof?
and does it matter that my phone is network locked to three?
can i debrand it or watever?
Simple answer its 3 Uk latest update to 2.2 .1 comes after Froyo 2.2 .
Some put it out others have been very late .
jje
We will be seeing parallel versions of 2.2.1 and 2.3 for quite a while....get used to it. Not all carriers will be so anxious to send out gb to the masses, and many are still on 2.2.
Remember we may be champing at the bit for gingerbread, but likely the reaction of John and Judy Averageuser will be "Dammit....ANOTHER update!!!???"

but i have flashed new rom which is gingerbread 2.3.3. But is not rooted does this means my warranty is voided? I want to send it for rma to samsung will they accept gingerbread update on device? I have att tab. Do i need to flash att stock rom?
Maybe I am confused but how can you have a gingerbread Rom if you are not rooted. Wouldn't that be impossible?
Sent from my Epic on Midnight or my Galaxy Tab rooted (feels naked without a ROM)
they (samsung centre) had a tols to detect wheter the gtab was being rooted or not, if they found it..forget about free warranty. I found this funny experience in my place, i did flash&rooted my froyo till last week upgraded to gingerbread by samsung. Then suddenly blank, i mean totally blank wont respond in all way (not even recovery mode or kiess or charging)....they told me i got my new korean battery and also new machine free, i guess i'm lucky to have it since they not found it my gtab was being rooted before
So its good to make tab brick to get new tab.why did they mention about new korean battery? I read somewhere also they replaced someones battery and said its new korean battery. And he said maybe it was chinese battery before. Anyways did you got new tab in brand new sealed box or just the tablet?
Lancelane i am not expert in rooting and stuff maybe i rooted before but how to be sure that now my tab is rooted. Bcos when i did the gingerbread it cleans everything on the tab. So i am guessing its not rooted anymore
yes, i also heard that too about the battery, most of them tell that korean battery is more beter than the china....unfortunately, we never knew when we buy the package till we have complain/claim about the battery performance it self

it doesn't matter to be rooted to flash stock rom
To the OP : is not gonna affect on your warranty at all
ok thanks hope all go smooth
In the settings, about device, does the kernel version say "rooted"?
It is easy to return to stock if you want. Why not call the center and get a definate answer, and share with us too.

I disagree. You're now running unsupported firmware on your device. I would think that would void the warranty.
Thats why I asked Tabing to call and tell us for sure. I for one want to know the truth.
If you return your Tab to absolute stock, there shouldn't be any question about warranty.

Any 'hack' eg rooting will void your warranty.
But were not sure if the OPs Tab is rooted.

I'm running custom rom. But if I flashed stock gingerbread it will not affect cuz its official firmware. (not rooted)
Sent From Hell To Take Your Soul
when you say call the center do you mean samsung support? i already sent mine now i will let you know what happens, i flashed it to gingerbread
I wanted to know if you have to unroot and restock your tab when you send a tab in for warranty service, according to samsung, and not people's opinions.
hey guys just a quick update my rooted gb 2.3.3 came back from rma and they fix the issue and restored the tab to the stock att. As I told you b4 I sent the tab with gingerbread and root. But people who can easily go back to stock should do that to be on safe side.
Thank you,Tabing. Are you going to try Overcome Jupiter?
Let me know OC jupiter is better than stock gingerbread 2.3.3 than i will try. BTW did you overclock GTab.?
I have the at&t tab stock gingerbread JQ1, with chainfire v3.3 and Dip7 kernel, and the t-mobile tab with Jupiter rom, neither is overclocked (i don't want to cook my cpu). I like the stock better.
Hi guys,
After messing around with kernels and getting a non responding P1000, I managed to install from Samfirmware, what i believe is stock Gingerbread (Europe).
Everything looks and works fine, but I just want some reassurance that I've downloaded/installed it correctly.
My system details are:
PDA: P1000XXJQ1
PHONE: P1000XXJPZ
CSC: P1000OXAJQ1
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
The only reason I want reassurance is when I connect the tab to Kies, the message "this version cannot be updated" displays.
Is it the fact that this is the latest firmware, and therefore no more updates is available?
Thank you in advance and would be much appreciated and reassuring to get an answer for all you kind people.
If you have a tab that was bought throughg a specific carrier then Kies might not be able to update the firmware.
I have a GTab from Telstra in Australia and using the stock firmware I also get this message. All flashing must be done by either ODIN or HEIMDALL. CWM works so long as I don't need to restock anything....
If you do decide to change roms, make sure you check to see if the bootloaders aren't locked as some of the firmware from samfirmware were found to be resulting in problems...
Cheers...
I had exactly the same message from Kies when I tried to revert back to a stock Gingerbread rom. It seems that there isn't an official Samsung release of GB for Tab P1000 in the UK (if that's where you are) so it doesn't recognise it.
Only way I could get it to detect an official release was with a Froyo ROM.
The JQ1 was released not to Europe, but to Italy.

Yes that's right. Im in the UK. So from what i understand, only way to fully revert back and install Official gingerbread is by reverting than earlier froyo firmware and then connecting Kies thks way, then have it detect and install the newly released gingerbread?

Hi there, yeah i kinda thought the firmware i installed was the Italian release, as the date in Firmware was May, not July when the.official gingerbread was released.
Yep, that's how I understand it. However I probably will not even bother with Samsungs UK GB release as there are much better 3rd party GB options out there already. I'm running BOCA 1.5 and it is so fast - it dosn't have any Samsung apps or TouchWiz, but I haven't missed them.

Ha! Just found the XDA app, makes posting and browsing on here so much easier.
Yeah i would have thought 3rd party options would be better running as they'll omit all the bloatware that comes with the official release. I was just thinking more about the option for the future should i have any reason at all to revert back to legit stock.
There's so many recommendation on which custom Rom to install, i think I'll have to spend some time going through the forums to understand which one will be best for me.
For now, Im gonna stick with this working GB (albeit Italy release) as for now it works and I've not had any problems with doing what i want out of it.

Guys,
I need help on upgrading my Galaxy Tab 7 running 2.2 Froyo which I bought quite long time ago. I plan to upgrade it to 2.3 but difficult in finding the bootloader. Can I upgrade to higher version directly instead of upgrade it to 2.3?
Please advise! Thanks
Follow my signature to overcome link.
when you get the PDF, jump to page 7.
Forget about he rooting, the bootloader check, etc.
the rooting guide is just so that you can backup.
the boot loader is included. in GB stock safe v5
Edit: I didn't notice you post in development section.
You are not developing anything, you should never start a thread in dev section.

My GT-P1000 Froyo 2.2 defile all solution
I have registered in this forum to get solution to my problem please.
I have this GT-P1000 that I want to upgrade but has defiled all solution.
I have tried all the methods using z4root, DoomLord etc
but refused to get rooted.
Please what can I do more
Since I will still root the Tab when I use Overcomer
I feel I need to know how to root before I start Overcomer softwares
Are you also on froyo?
If so, then you need to root only to check if you have a locked bootloader.
Otherwise, you don't need to.
If you want to risk it, just flash GB. Many people don't have locked bootloader froyo. Just saying.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Free mobile app
I also had a P1000 on Froyo and yesterday I upgraded to GB using Kies only. I had root on the Froyo but since I didn't touch anything related to bootlocker and whatnot, I managed to upgrade via Kies.
A minor problem is that now I don't have the new Play Store, only the old market, I'm searching in order to find a solution.
Good luck
i want to upgrade my gt-p1000 on froyo but i dont know how can you pleas help me
