[Q] New to all of this...

Hi I just got my Samsung Captivate and have already rooted it. I want to add a ROM to it (Most likely Phoenix 2.2.1)
I was wondering, do I need Froyo 2.2 to use this ROM, or will the ROM install that for me? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm honestly confused by the whole thing
Thanks for your help

The rom gives you 2.2.1. Make sure you read, read, read

I did read but its a very confusing thread ^_^
Thank you for your help though!

I talking about everything in general. Read. God luck

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] URGENT need rom GT-S5839i please

Hello, Sorry for my English I'm french.
I've bricked my GT-S5869i but I don't have rom to flash with odin can you upload a rom for this device please it's urgent, Monday I have a school trip at 5 am.

try to ask in sammobile forum as thats where all sammy rom is posted, maybe u'll have better luck there.
the GT-S5839i is a rare i assume, googling for it doesnt bring any info at all :/

If you mean s5830i
Go here:SamFirmware and select your region, then choose the latest rom.
Choose your rom and flash with ODIN.

What is this gt-s5839i I have never heard of it?!

I assume you mean the GT-S5830i
Have a look here: Download Mode is Vol + Vol - with Power on your Device I believe, flash this through Odin 4.42: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/156022526/079fb77/S5830IXXLB2_S5830IITVLB2_ITV.zip.html

Edited my original post. does 0 really look like 9 ??

heres a thread where someone asked howto network unlock the said model number
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661031
and the unlocking tool used, the galaxy toolbox app really listed s5839i as one of supported with proven tested and working device

haha what are the chances of all those being typo's
must be really rare, there's hardly anything with a google search.
Your going to have to take it to a service centre(say kies crashed when updating) Your phone model is really rare.
Looks like you wont have it for monday
Whats the specs of the s5839i?

Good morning. I had the same problem with this mobile phone gt-s5839i. It is not a typo I own this device and I succeeded rooting and flashing it. The only ROM I found was from Poland(Tmobile and Orange) and it works! Here you can find the ROMS : (I cannot post the URL but you find it at tsar3000 site)And I noticed now that a Spanish rom popped up! goog for you! You can flash it with Odin 1.83. It works!!! Good luck

O Wow senior member, your answer was a great step forward for me.. LOL obviously I don't know what the issue is if i did i wouldn't have posted this thread and wasted your time viewing plus replying to it. If possible can you elaborate on your answer please. remember might also help someone that just got a DS7 T-mobile tablet.
I'm assuming because its a T-Mobile edition.

No, because you aren't on Honeycomb, idiot. Perhaps you should know who you are talking to first before having an asshat attitude.
Sorry I didn't hold your hand and your penis. Perhaps you can learn to do those on your own.
