[Q] restore captivate to factory

I have a samsung captivate that i have updated to the leaked 2.2 froyo and needless to say it is a very nice beta version but i am looking foward to the official release my question is there anyone out there that can tell me how to flash everything back to orignal so i will be able to get the OTA update of the official 2.2 froyo noob here in desperate need of help

Sending you over that area.
Cheers,

What is it with all these noobs flashing to 2.2 without knowing how to go back before they start?
Is it some kind of epidemic taking hold? I just don't get it.
How do you start something with no idea how to get back?

Get odin one click jf6 or jh7. You can find them on the forum

Take a deep breath. Ok, there is a decent chance that the over the air update wont work for you no matter what you do. That is the bad news. Good news is that it will be available on this site almost immediately after it is out.
What rom did you flash and why are you so desperate to get rid of it? You jumped in the pool might as well learn how to swim

I flashed the leaked 2.2 rom got it off xda site figured it would be about as easy to do as jailbreaking an iphone but ill admit i couldnt have been more wrong well anyway this leaked ji6 rom has its cool parts but my phone has problems with freezing up now and various occasional hiccups tried the one click flash to stock but that made it worse so back to ji6 i went guess its too late now but just wish i could go back to stock now :-(

Amazing ain't it... Shows how anxious they all are or how little they research these things. I waited quite some time before flashing any roms on my Sprint Hero and once the 1 click rooting became available went over at least 2 dozen different roms intently before flashing CM6 and any additional oc kernels. That phone was a walk in the park compared to this one since you could revert back 100% stock with a current RUU apk.
I wonder whats going to happen when they don't release 2.2 and go straight to Gingerbread in December...how many bricked phones will there be...?

[Q] Can i install updates

hey... so this is my first post. i have recently got myself a captivate and i love it so far... i have used a PDF guide i found on here and i have rooted my phone, removed ATT bloatware, sideloaded a few apps but today i got a notification saying there were updates available. i was wondering if its ok (safe) to install these updates after i have done all the above or if its a good way to go about bricking my phone.
any advice would be helpful as im kind of new to it all and i love my new phone and would hate to screw it up so soon after getting it haha.

I do not think it would be harmful but there us a chance it will not take because you are rooted

I had no problems when doing the update. I was also rooted, running the stock 2.1 rom. It updated me to JH7 and 2.1 update 1.

2.2 update ever?

Hey,
So I'm a CDMA man myself (EVO running cm7) but my girlfriend has a Captivate and really really really wants flash. I told her the only way to get flash is to root and get 2.2 but she WILL NOT let me root her phone. Apparently she doesn't trust me that much.
Anyway I've googled this junk 13411523541324 times and nothing seems to come up. I know Samsung pulled the initial 2.2 update but is an official one even in the works? I can't find any news on it.
Thanks for anyone who responds.

I'm running Andromeda myself, but I did update my wife's phone to the official 2.2 thru Kies Mini.

Download Kies Mini. And run the update. It's the Official 2.2 update for the Captivate.

Yeah, I couldn't find anything until I googled Kies Mini, then 304982374012983741093481723409182735 things came up. Girlfriend says she's pleased that she will soon be able to play flash games while she's at work. Woo hoo!

Yeah, but you forgotten some/most ROMs come pre-rooted. I doubt that his wife wants that.

Not my wife but just about. And yeah, explaining to her what the Superuser App is would be tricky without giving away the fact that she's rooted.
She just doesn't want me to mess up her phone like I have messed up phones in the past (though I've NEVER bricked a device I have had some close calls with erasing recoveries and whatnot). If she sees an update come straight from Samsung she's more inclined to do it.
Still, she's constantly seeing all the awesome features I get from all my custom ROMs and is like "I WANT THAT" so I'm like "WELL YOU GOTTA ROOT" and then she puts her foot down. Maybe one of these days...

yeah you are kinda stuck if she wants to flash but doesnt want to be rooted.
2.2 official does have benifits and is worth doing if you are going to stay official, but if you are going to flash custom roms 2.2 will add 3e recovery and a few extra steps to then get to custom. going to custom roms is easiet from 2.1

[Q] Incredible S OTA update today

I just received an OTA for my Incredible S and I can't see anything about it online: version number 2.30.707.1 and it was about 30MB.
I didn't find any obvious change so far. And the description was something very vague about "update of applications".
Any one knows what this update was about?

Please be sense 3!

No obvious changes meant Android version is still 2.3.3 and Sense still 2.1
Sorry.

Ooh I misread your op..
I thought you said 300mb and didn't realize you already installed it.
Desire s gets sense 3 and we get shafted

Nothing here in the UK, I'm still on 2.30.405.1

Today Desire S in GB got 2.3.5 and sense 3.0
INCS should be next IMHO

That really would make this device one of the best...
Hope to get an updated gb and sense soon.

If they give desire s sense 3 and not us I'll definitely never buy another HTC phone

If you have ClockworkMod installed, the OTA will fail. You need to flash the HTC stock recovery back in order for the OTA to run and update successfully.

I'm from Australia, and keep checking every half an hour for updates. nothing yet.

Updated Mine and NO SENSE 3.0!
Disappointed with how slow HTC is dealing with updates!!!!!!! Super SLOW!

No way man...
I'd rather a Sensation over a S2 any day...
HTc sense is by far superior to Touch Wiz in my opinion and I have had phones with both so I know what i'm saying.

may i know how to do it
Edit
did it, thanks

Lots of guides in the development section. U need to download the stock HTC ROM, again found in development section, connect ur phone to ur computer via usb and put the downloaded ROM zip file onto ur sd card, then boot into recovery and flash the stock ROM on ur sd card following the on screen instructions. 4ext recovery is best to use. Format and wipe first. This will however put ur phone back to s-on. Or you could just wait for one of the many good developers here to cook a new ROM based on the latest release, undoubtedly better. All the guides take u through it step-by-step though.
Good luck

[Q] Can I flash 4.2?

I recently got an HTC One and I didn't root it or anything, and because of past experiences I'm not planning on rooting it.
But can I still flash the stock HTC One 4.2 update? I didn't seem to get it OTA.

Perhaps the OTA is not yet available for your region or carrier... not all regions have had the update pushed yet and if your phone is carrier branded then there will be a longer delay.

What's your experience?
What I know it's so HARD to brick your phone during root...
And everything except bricking is FIXABLE...

I've owned 5 android phones: HTC Desire, HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy Ace, Samsung Galaxy S2 & Samsung Galaxy S3
The S3 and the Sensation were rooted with custom ROMs and the Galaxy Ace was just rooted. The S2 and the Desire were the ONLY phones I've owned that still work with no lag, no glitches and a relatively good battery. (less on the Desire)
After rooting usually nothing goes wrong and everything is awesome, but then after some time the rooted phones start acting out. It's hard to explain it (because virtually I don't think that's possible), but that's what happens and I want this phone to last.
The HTC One is a beast, the battery is REALLY good compared to older devices, I don't know what everyone's whining about. It's snappy and fast, I've literally never seen it lag (I've had it for a month+). I don't know.. I just don't want to root it for the time being :silly:

make sure you follow every step the tutorial says and you should be fine,
other than flashing an 4.2.2 there is NO other way

There is another way.... he can wait for the OTA to be pushed as the OP has said he doesn't want to root.
Please don't post these type of responses as you are not giving correct information.

we all know he can wait, even he does, but he asked "can I still flash the stock HTC One 4.2 update" and i said other than these ways there is NO other way,
so when he read my comment he said ok if there is NO other ways i will wait!

If you'd read the OP properly he asked without rooting and the answer to that is wait for OTA not there is NO other way

Hey would you look at that, OTA came a day after posting this.
