Confused on how to get the leaked froyo

Hi everyone,
I have the Samsung Galaxy s Captivate and I want to upgrade it from 2.1 to froyo 2.2. I understand that ATT has not release it. However, I found this thread and froyo is leaked for everyone.
Here is the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282
I was wondering if I need to be rooted in order to do this. If so, what is the most easy and most efficient way of doing it? I also want to get rid of all the ATT bloatware, I hear there is a great rom that gets rid of it.
Thanks for listening I can’t wait for your replies.
Michael.

Hello Michael,
The answer to all of your questions and more are in the thread you linked, including difficulties other people have had and sometimes their resolutions.
Good luck!

You found the thread you need to read. Go through it, even if it does take you about an hour to do. You need to read that way you know where information is on how to fix your phone if anything goes wrong. Everything you do on your phone is at your own risk.

Basically just flash using the one click ODIN for the JI6 build.
One important note is to remove the USB as soon as it reboots because otherwise you can face issues with it becoming stuck in airplane mode. I don't know why exactly but it happened to me and to others.

If you haven't flashed using Odin yet, search for the Odin3 thread. That will give you the steps to use the one click Odin.

Well, I only link the download and flash for it. The link provides no explanation on how to flash or install froyo.

Oh boy.... Another one of these threads.
Short answer.... PICK one, they are all better than stock. There are so many roms out there that only YOU can judge what you want and need in a rom.
Everyone will have a different answer for you. For instance I say Firefly, but only because it works for me
You can't go wrong choosing any of them.

Anything other than JI6, that leaky rom is junk.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.

That is unanswerable every single phone is different, and people have widely different tastes. The trick is finding a rom that works best FOR YOU.

dude, youre takin this a little too seriously, im just lookin for a good suggestion to start with, and i know every phone is different, thats why i put what phone i have. thanks

LMAO........
The suggestions are to try them out yourself........
They are all better than stock........
You have to figure it out for yourself..........
And he meant that every Captivate is different.......If you did some more reading...you would know what he meant........
The "all in one place" is the first 3 pages of the dev section........http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=706 any thread that starts with [ROM] is what your looking at

if you want a fast rom i would recommend the cyanogen mod 7.
people talk about how its unstable and has bad battery life
but its all wrong,,,
from my experience cm7 has been a stable like all the other roms but just faster..
It's the fastest you'll ever get right now and it has all different customization you can do.
so try it out.

Might want to try cm6 its outdated but fast and more reliable

ya, any file i put on the root of the phone gives me the same answer, whether its cwm or update.zip

You have 3E recovery.
The easiest way to get around it is to Flash the .tar version of speedmod with the full version of odin.
This only works on 2.2 If you need any more help. I will be around for a bit.

good answer! but if you are on 2.1 you can put the new rom on the sd card first and then flash speedmod. it wont boot into the rom but will give you recovery to flash the new rom.
yes, no need to root just odin flash speedmod then flash a rom.
if you want complete and reliable and well polished then flash andromeda, it's a bit older version of 2.2 but the work was great.
if you want super fast flash something that says js8, i hear the paragon rom has a great kernel. id say cm7 but maybe you should work up to that, it isn't hard but you need odin to flash back if you have problems, there aren't any 2.2 kernels or roms with the proper update script and binary to be flashed from the recovery that cm7 uses.

Nice. That makes sense that it will work.

OCLF (one click lagfix) use ext2. Titanium or some system app remover app to get rid of bloat and you should be good to go. At the end of the day different ROMs and such are for asthetics... no one has over 340 mg of Ram available so performance not much different from one to the next once lagfix installed. Until you OC/UV and that is tuff to maintain stability with.

Now we all know that there are no "Best Rom" threads but sense this one has changed course ill leave it open.
Each rom runs differently for each person. This is due to the many different ways we each use our phones. Once you get the hang of it, try out a few and find your favorite. Good luck on your quest.

Questions pertaining to specific roms should be asked in their thread. Most times you're not the only one that's had that problem and it's already been addressed. That translates into search and read.

[Q] Spacemoose-Honycomb issues

ok, so im not an idiot, needless to say that rude video they showed when you sign up to this glorius forum. My problem is simply this: I have a Galaxy tab us Sprint model, running completly stock( aside from the root) and i have tried instaing spacemooses Honycomb port, my issue is when i flash the kernal that includes cwm 3.0 it starts up and gives me several errors to the likes of E:unable to mount sd card. im pissed! i know how to use heimendall and the flashing software but i keep getting this error, HELP!!!

You need to find your sprint files and flash it back to stock. I installed HC and it just plain ain't ready. Search google for stock sprint kernel and rom. That's what I had to do to get back to working.

well i fixed it by just flashing my stock kernal back, but id already known to do that, my issue is the friggin kernal, i want HC so badd. do you know of anyway to get cwm on it without that no offence, crappy kernal?

Just so you know no one made you flash the rom. It is an alpha, and things will always go wrong!
If your mad it should be at yourself. The only people who should be flashing this should be people who can get themselves out of it.
And yes, to geet out of this get something flashable with Odin/Hiemdall and go back to stock.

No! The kernel is the key to getting it up and running. Yes it is thrown together and somewhat crude bit it works.
Follow up on the progress as things should get fixed rather quickly and try again with a later build.

How was the video rude??
It was blunt and to the point. If you felt it was rude then I can only assume that you felt it related to you in some way.
The video is intended to make it extremely clear that 99% of all the questions n00bs/newbies (what ever you want to call them) think of asking have already been asked and answered in abundance. Its also designed to make them think twice about where and when to post aswell as to use the search button.
Now before you think im saying you fall into this category, im not. I'm simply telling you that the video is 100% necessary as staff and the community in general have really had enough of all the crap.
Anyway, back on topic. You should really stay clear of the HC alpha builds and wait for a beta or final. Flash back to stock or custom for now.

I get what he is saying, as I too have encountered the same problem. I've searched and searched, and I've spent most of the week flashing back to stock with heimdall.
I think what he is referring to is the conversion to ext4. It appears CW3 is not successfully converting to the ext4 format. I've even tried the Verizon bootstrap app with the same results, multiple mount errors.
jjenkins09, On a side note,you did come off a little rude, and a little more research before claiming to be pissed may have worked a little better for you (Honey catches bees).
I would love to know if anyone has had success flashing to EXT4 with a Sprint tab, and if so, Could I borrow the zImage and see if the problem is isolated to my tab.

As im glad for any advice , i did actually do a good bit of reasearch, but i feel where your coming from

PEOPLE DON'T EVER FOLLOW THIS ADVICE!!

Before you advice something (like a full wipe on every flash), PLEASE THINK first before you ever suggesting others to fully wipe their device on every flashing of custom ROMS...

well it's not entirely incorrect.
correct me if im wrong, but the majority of custom roms out there have cap_erase removed which means people can factory reset safely.
the bricks usually occur if people wipe on a stock samsung rom, where cap_erase ISN'T removed.
so if you're on a custom rom, and you flash another custom rom, assuming both roms had cap_erase removed, it shouldn't be a problem right?

You haven't done a lot of reading have you? Look for it in the General section, especially topics for eMMC and 'Entrophy'
Wiping be it on custom or stock doesn't guarantee any safeties at all. even using CMW is a no no. If your custom rom has an infected kernel (that comes with it), fully wiping after flashing your phone ensures you a deadweight one after that.
It only takes one single full wipe to brick your phone, and it takes a load of hell to fix it.

how do you generalize your advice to all the people your giving it? do you ask for their kernel first before telling them to fully wipe their NOTE?
Your playing a russian roulette dude. People would misunderstand your advice generally. There a lot of custom ROMS out there. Most often than not, its carrying an infected kernel. People who just scans and see your advice would tantamount to follow it to a tee (w/o telling you the full details of their kernel) and WHAM!! they get their phone brick!

For someone who just registered this month, you surely got a lot of nerve!.
I've flash a lot of custom roms before you ever had gone here in Xda-dev dude. Don't divert me into clicking on that link.. been there done that. get it?
My advice to you is, before you try advising people for their problems. READ FIRST in all the stories and forum threads on our beloved Note. You will gain infos on what's causing it, and how to resolve and prevent it from ever happening it again.
So tip of advice, don't go all around the forum in advicing people to fully wipe their phone after flashing any roms. STOCK or CUSTOM.
Person's like you are the causes on why there are still people getting the bricks on their phone. Crappy advice and stuff!
Geez!!

By the way, always make sure whenever you need to wipe things, it is better you have a safe kernel installed beforehand.
Like I've said getting the Super brick bug is just like playing a russian roulette. You'll never know when and how you got the brick, so take necessary precautions on how to prevent it

Yeah he did wipe it but he was already using a safe kernel. My point is, don't just blurt out to people to wipe anythng without asking them some additional necessary infos. It is okay to wipe and I'm not against that (if your using a safe kernel already). What I am against is the wrong notion in giving advices to WIPE your phone PERIOD.. Without even clarifying other infos at hand.

I'm sorry if I can't answer your cleanote question bud. Like I've said. I stopped changing /flashing custom Roms after the onset of this superbrick bug issue. Im all on stock 4.0.4 firmware now.
Anyway, it's all nice and dandy feeling that everything has been fix already in your end.
Let the good times roll.. :good:
John
Cheers!

I also want to flash cleanote rom and i am currently waiting on an updated version of that rom with the latest notecore kernel. I'm on stock 4.0.4 also and will use the PC Odin method to flash notecore kernel to root and then triangle away for binary reset. Then finally go with mobile Odin/PC Odin to flash the rom. After hours of reading threads, this seems to be a safest way to do it.

For someone who just registered this month, you surely got a lot of nerve!.
I've flash a lot of custom roms before you ever had gone here in Xda-dev dude. Don't divert me into clicking on that link.. been there done that. get it?
My advice to you is, before you try advising people for their problems. READ FIRST in all the stories and forum threads on our beloved Note. You will gain infos on what's causing it, and how to resolve and prevent it from ever happening it again.
So tip of advice, don't go all around the forum in advicing people to fully wipe their phone after flashing any roms. STOCK or CUSTOM.
Person's like you are the causes on why there are still people getting the bricks on their phone. Crappy advice and stuff!
Geez!!

+1 : Things are different from device to device. once I vaguely advised what I did from my device, one member advised me not to give my own advice deviating from safe and standard procedure. I felt sorry for myself and thanked the member.

New: help me to ROOT.

Hi,
I am new here and have just purchase Samsung Galaxy S i9000. I want to install ClockworkMod Recovery for flash ROMs. Please guide me with procedure. sorry for bad english. Thnanks.

Oh dear.
Don't post in the development sub-forum!
First piece of advice, read. read around, different posts, different messages, different google results, not only will you gain advice and information that can help you/save your ass in the future, you won't do rookie things like post in the dev forum.
And google anything you don't understand first. You're question is 99.9% of the time not original and already out there with several productive answers
But i'll cut you some slack.
Firstly, we need to know your current firmware. Go to Settings, and then about phone. look for your android version. and you're firmware. if you're unsure, take a picture of the about phone section and upload it here and we'll help you.
And could a dev shift this to the right place please

If youve got Gingerbread, then look for a custom kernel WHICH IS GINGERBREAD BASED NOT ICS OR JELLYBEAN BASED. Then using download a program called Odin. And put the Kernel in the PDA section of the program, if you dont know how to do this then there should be videos telling you how to do so on Youtube. Its the same flashing procedure for all the Galaxy S series of phones, if you type in "Galaxy s3 flash kernel" or something similar it should give you a general idea of how to do it. And remember to just read everthing they tell you to do for each kernel. Go through step by step and it should be easy. If something happens though cant be held responsible. gota be said, lol. A thanks would be appreciated if i helped

don`t help him, dammit.
let him learn to post in the right section first.

Give the guy a break we were all new once! First thing you should do is Google Odin software and learn how to use that. Second make sure any ROM you flash is made for sgs i9000. Lastly go to www.darkyrom.com and check out the section there on the i9000, the user totally dubbed has excellent video tutorials that can walk you through it all. If you have any questions or get into trouble pm me and I'll help you out too.
