I wasn't sure where to post this.
I have Kernerl version 2.6.35.7 Overcome-v3.1.0#16
Build number: Overcome v2.0.1-Hermes
Now the faq says don't update across versions 1.4 to 1.6, etc.
Can I update to the 3.1 Kratos? Or do I gotta do a complete wipe?
Yes and best idea is to backup then go ahead, though you can download the no-wipe version. Just don't cry to the dev if things don't work properly (go to their site, you'll see).
1.4/6 is the Froyo version of Overcome and 2.0 up is the Gingerbread version. You need Gingerbread bootloaders to get it working. As you have Hermes, a gingerbread rom, you can upgrade to Kratos.

Awesome ty for info. So titanium backup will be fine? Should I copy all my media off before I update?
EDIT:<removed original comment>
NVM figured it out.

I have the samsung captivate at 2.1 and it is rooted and has sideloading enabled where I can install non-market apps from my usb card. I want to update to Froyo 2.2. I have been reading but getting different answers about rooting and sideloading Froto 2.2 original leak. Also I have backed up my phone.
1.Can Froyo 2.2 original leak be rooted and sideloaded with this file?(superoneclickv1.5.4)
2.Is this the file for the original Froyo 2.2?(I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears)
I want to say this is my first android phone and these things are nice. I used to only use windows mobile phones, but now...... hello android.
I would like to say thank you to all the people for the guides and help that make it possible for me to play with this fun phone.

To be honest, I think the latest cognition ROM is way better than the leaked froyo. Faster, smoother, just better. And cognition of course has sideloading enabled.
Coginition question?
I read a little about the coginition roms. They seem really nice but could you answer a few questions.
1.Can you start out with the lastest rom first?
2.I read that it is really hard to go back to your original flash enev if you have a backup.(I did make a backup.)
3.I am not being a smartass but, could you please answer my first questions in my first post please.
Thank you for replying so fast.

If you update to the latest Cognition roms,you wouln't even have to root and enable side-loading.Everything is already built in.

Yes that is the leaked JI6 Froyo firmware, and is also one click odin.
Thank you
Thank you for answering my question.
If i was you I would leave 2.1 and add side loading, lagfix remove blootware and you got a pretty good set up, I have flashed most of the Roms here and I wont say with one is the best becouse each one has it flaws and I think just the leaked Frito has the most bugs tho design gears is basing his cog on it so he fixes stuff as he goes

are you looking for an official update? or Dev update?
flash over any modded rom from froyo 2.2? i use CM6, root your hero (in the development forum), then flash a recovery image using ROM Manager(in the Market.) and then flash CM6. If you need further instruction, or need more details or have questions, dont hesitate to PM me.
I am a noob first off! I was on AF 1.5 and flashed to Nuclear Fusion II. It was not rooted and I flashed back to AF 1.5. My firmware now reads 2.3.3 but my baseband and kernel are I897UCKH3 with the build being AF 1.5. I need to know if I can run my captivate like this or do I need to flash/odin everthing back to 2.3.3.
Thanks Team Phoenix for all the hard work in all the roms that you provide.
I accidently posted this in the general forum, sorry moderators!

Download Fusion II, do not download Nuclear Fusion 1.4 beta. Sounds like you where using the beta build.

This rom kicks a**!!!
Thanks again

Just got a P1000 (UK) unlocked Tab and updated to the latest 2.2 Froyo using Kies.
Is it worth installing 2.3 and will it mess with the unlock?
Also, whats the simplest method to root the current 2.2 (most of the guides deal with 2.3)?
Thank you

easiest way to root is to use SuperOneClick root. It will work on 2.2 and 2.3.3. The update to 2.3.x should have no impact on the fact that the device is unlocked.
Thanks.
Does 2.3 have many advantages over 2.2?
I've done the custom ROM thing on my Galaxy S (running Darkys) but find it can make the device a little unstable.
I don't want to risk the same happening to the Tab.
There should be a stock update to 2.3 for most Tabs. Check the dev section.
It just depends on what you want outta yer Tab if the transition from 2.2 to 2.3 is worth it. There aren't that many big difference unless you run into apps that only work on Gingerbread.
I can confirm that 2.3 has better battery life than 2.2. As per my experience.

This is about the only reason to update... Otherwise root your 2.2 while you can (not saying 2.3 cannot be rooted - it just seems easier to root 2.2 and seems people en-mass have less trouble doing it) and update to overcome 4.0 (you can stay on the stock 2.3 - it is part of the procedure 2.3 stock -> then the overcome changes).
Or try out Technomancer's CM7 port. I use that. It is awesome.
Good times.
I know you guys are probably sick of this question, but I really would like to hear what ROM you guys recommend for the Samsung galaxy S i897 captivate. There are soooo many choices. I am used to using gingerbread on my previous phone, so I am looking for gingerbread or higher (I am @ 2.2 froyo now) , with stability being #1 importance. Thanks for your suggestions.

We're up to Jelly Bean now, if you're on froyo, you'll need to flash the GB bootloaders (can be found in the dev section in stickies).
If you're looking for stability over anything, AOCP by the Collective would be my suggestion. Of course, every user have their preference but the 2 most stable ROMs I've used on JB are AOKP by Sixstrings and AOCP (either stock kernel or semaphore).
Keep in mind that the more mods you make once on your ROM, the more chance you have to break something (that goes for any ROM).

As he said, make sure you get the bootloaders installed before moving forward. As for my two cents on which ROM to choose... I haven't used AOCP since it first released so it is undoubtedly much further along than the original build. My personal favorite is Hellybean but with the installer the dev uses you end up having to download a large file compared to other ROMs.
Thanks, I am doing a lot of reading. *head explode*
I liked Andromeda and AOCP.
Since the phone is used, I restored to factory (but it stayed @ 2.2). Looks like I need to go to 2.1 factory. From reading I think I should use the Heimdall method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266172 to revert to stock and flash GingerBread Boot-loader. Then I will follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983079 to install AOCP (JellyBean 4.1.2).
Very nervous about this lol.
Thanks guys.

Actually, you should be getting stock KK4 (GB): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
From there, you get Odin 1.85 flash Corn Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477 - This will give you root.
Now you can flash the ROM you want in cwm recovery as per their instructions.
Happy flashing!
Try MIUI if u havnt already...
