Not sure if this is already posted, if it is I apologize. Seems on the AT&T site they are saying that the official release will be available to the Captivate sometime soon this year. Hopefully sooner than later.

Gingerbread from AT&T would be backpeddling from all the hardwork that CM7, MIUI, and Cognition have done for the Captivate. If you haven't already given them a chance I would strongly suggest it.
The only good thing that will come from the official Gingerbread release will be the source code go create better ROMS. I've learned my lesson after trying the official Froyo update. Once you've had filet mignon, ground chuck doesn't begin to compare.

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.

It was always going to be May 21st. Because that's my birthday.
Couldn't you RUU to one of the 1.5 builds and then reroot?
when will the official froyo rom come out? If I flashed this leak build, will I be able to still update to the official froyo when it comes out? This is what stopping me from flashing the leaked build. But, still get excited about this leaked build.
You can always flash the leaked build now, and then once news of the official build is known you can use the odin one click flash back to JF6 and then update.
Do not think anyone know when the finial build will be out, it they do they are not telling.
With the first update that came out and failed for a large amount of people here, your guess will be as good as mine or anyone else, if Froyo will fail in the update process also.
Not to be "that guy" but I think this thread might be better suited to the Captivate Q&A section
This has been covered many times sense 2.2 dropped last night.
Please use the search function to look for the answer before opening a new thread

Hi all,
I've had a GT-I9000 for over 6 months now and I haven't really tried too much stuff on it except for an official firmware update and OCLF, and as an XDA member this is my first post.
I'm currently running Froyo 2.2 (I9000DDJP2, kernel 2.6.32.9), everything was fine until my phone started to lag like hell and lots of force closes and reboots which is really pissing me off now. I was planning to wait for the official gingerbread update, however I think XDA already has tons of Gingerbread ROMS out there ready to be flashed. Also, I saw a few videos of I9000 running cyanogenmod which looked awesome. So i decided to give it a shot.
I'm a total noob at flashing, and to be honest, this will be my first time trying it out. Can you please suggest which is the best gingerbread ROM out there for I9000 and can it be flashed using ROM manager or do i need to follow the ODIN method.
Also, one very very dumb question , what is the difference between a ROM and a kernel, and is it required to flash both of them separately, if yes then which one should go first.

You need to read everything, especially if you don't know the difference between a kernel and a rom. You are no where near flashing, I'm saying this so you don't brick your phone.
Go to general thread and read through the stickies as these will lead you in the right direction. Once you have understood all of them, then proceed to flash.
Cyanogen is not for beginners so stay away.
Gingerbread roms that are supposed to be good are Juwes, Insanity, Simply Honey and Doc's. There are many GB roms but these seem to be the most popular.
Read everything until you know everything for sure and then go and flash
Good luck

Thanks for your reply... I'll start off with the reading i suppose, coz obviously i dont wanna brick my device... I've read that Insanity can be flashed directly using ROM Manager... Is this true?? If yes then can I try that one first, coz it seemed to be an easy enough method to flash a custom rom...
You also have to understand that Gingerbread is in effect Beta not released and devs still working on it in XDA . If you are capable of unbricking your phone dont mind breaking it then carry on otherwise wait for official release update through official method backup the firmware then customize as you want .

Well usually I would ignore such a flaming reply, but since you are soooo good with statistics, i'm guessing you have nothing better to do than to count the number of noobs on XDA...
Well if so is the case, then best of luck, you might just reach 1000 since not everyone is an expert like you...
No one faults the fact that you are new to Android, in many ways we all are, especially myself. However, there are numerous posts that explain and educate that are meant to be READ, not just skipped in the hope that someone will tell you the magic secret of Android while standing on foot.
XDA is one of the greatest resources you will find for learning about Android and finding the best software solution for you....use it. It will be time well spent.

How about responding with a link to a thread that does have good information on available Gingerbread ROMS. I have searched and have not found it yet. Obviously based on your response there are hundreds of threads about this topic. Why not offer up at least one that we can check out? Obviously I am not typing in the exact magical phrase in the search box that reveals this supposedly abundant information.

Hi,
The GB update is out but as i can see it is only for the P1000s. So my ultra noob question is if this update is suitable for P1010?
Edit: Since the P1010 would not work with the p1000 Gingerbread, please tell me if there are going to be any official P1010 Gingerbread Updates?
Thanks in advnace.
No, diferent hardware!
I just read in a spanish forum that the P1010 may get the gingerbread update from samsung. Just sit and wait.
any updates?
No and and there is nothing here either for the unloved p1010
It seems to be a lonely orphan.
tell me about it, hopefully Spacemoose1 will be able to bring it into the family of Honey soon enough though >:¬}
Updates for p1010?? I give up.
Not even custom ROMs if not from Samsung?
I got this responses from samsung support last week:
