[Q] Froyo Official for Captivate, Can we use it on our SGS?

Hi all,
A question for you smarter people, Can we somehow use the Captivate rom in our machines? I'm thinking we need to mod somethings here and there but is it a good idea?
Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797374
Edit: Yes I think this should be in Q&A but I would like the question in Devs as it will give the modders/hackers/devs a heads up on the release of the rom
Edit Edit: Don't install this! Breaks ****

Yes, I would like to know if we can use this on our SGS.

Should be that we need to flash a 2.2 i9000 kernel for proper hardware support.

Have you flashed it yet? Don't it disable your front camera as captivate don't have it? And isn't Captivate a 850mhz/2100mhz 3g phone while we use 900mhz/2100mhz ?

You might want to try a JPK modem with it too as I have feeling that it would work. Maybe if we extract the PDA file from the archive we can use odin to do it.

no need to have root access
just plug your phone into the PC with debug mode ON (Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging) and run the script file (recovery.bat)
phone should restart in recovery mode

I don't know, you're the guy called "ronalGPS"
Kidding, kidding. Install GPS Test (if you're wifi is working). See how many satellites you can lock-in indoors and outdoors and how long it takes. But if you haven't done it before with the stock roms, not really sure if you would be able to assess comparatively.
What exactly is wrong with your phone, btw? What happens if you try download mode (VolumeDown + Power + home)?

Home button not working??

Hey guys! I hope you can help me D:
My Galaxy S:
CM7 latest update #57 or so
Kernel: glitch v11 (also doesnt work with standard kernel)
Since today my homebutton isnt working correctly. It only works for getting into recovery and into download mode.
If i press it in the keytest in cwm recovery it isnt recognized, same when the phone is booted :-S
I reflashed the update with deleting the cache but that doesnt work D-:
Have you guys any idea? :-/
Thanks

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I'm sorry, but I think that's your only choice.. To me, it seems like a hardware-related malfunction..

Hmmm yes i think youre right.
I just tried to get into recovery only with volume up + turn on button... thats working
"
I will flash samsung original firmware, maybe it works ^^
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

If it does: great!
If it doesn't: RMA must be the way..

you have to send your phone to Samsung services it'll be best solution i think.

Dudeeee, what on earth man? RMA should only be treated as a last resort. Don't give up so easily. He hasn't even tried flashing back to stock roms.
He already said it works for getting into recovery and download mode, which indicates it's working to some degree.
OP, flash that stock firmware and tell us what happens.

If you read my post correctly, you'll notice that I've suggested to flash the stock-firmware _before_ sending it as a RMA to Samsung..

So how do you think he has access to recovery???.......He mentionned he was able to go into recovery mode,basically,the home button works.
I'm pretty sure it's a software related problem.
Go with the stock rom first and tell us the result.

Nope.
Im on stock rom now..
The home button is not working
I got into Download mode with Volume down and Turn-on-button
I havent touched the home button at all
Dont know why thats working ^^...
Tommorow im bringin it to the Shop for RMA
OR do you have some Ideas

It is as though your home button is stuck to "on".
I fear that the next step is to rma.

Do you find the inconsistency? No?
I'll help you out: at first, you paint me as a fool, because you're too blind to read my post correctly.
Just one post later, you suggest what I was suggesting since my first (or second, can't remember right now) post.
Result: read first, think second, think again, _then_ - and only then - post, but stay polite at _any_ time!

Had the exact same issue with the button working for booting into recovery and download mode.
Sorry to say this is hardware related and I hope your rma is accepted.
I took mine to the repair centre and they told be it is water damaged. I never dropped it in water though.
Also the home button is glued to the whole freaking screen. The samsung part comes as the whole lcd assembly with the buttons with it so I was quoted 245 dollars.
You can buy the button online but I digest you to have a look on YouTube for the dude that disassemble the phone. You will see how hard it is
By the way, my button stopped working for recovery as well although now of o press hard on it it does work (for booting and in the OS).
last but not least, you will learn how to use the phone without the home button
Good luck with the rma

WRONG SECTION!
To be lazy it's NOT ALLOWED on XDA forums! FIRST READ RULES and then read the posts completely ten times and finally read it again!!! ...and if you understand them, you'll try any modifications
Are your device a available warranty yet? send it to the technical service
...if not, you can say goodbye to your phone

Bro, try to follow the guide. Just pressing Vol Down+ Power+ Home button is completely different from preparing your odin, removing battery, connecting phone to computer, inserting the battery and pressing Vol Down+ Power + Home button. This method can, in the best case scenario, force open Download Mode. Give it a try! You have nothing to lose but something to gain. If this doesn't work, guide also provides details on USB Jig which is your last option. Hope I helped

The USB Jig method is just working for softbricked (it can boot, but looping) phones but can't go to recovery or download mode. So, it's not working for hardbricked phone

Bro, but the above guide says the USB jig for Samsung devices force the device into download mode so you can flash firmware over Odin and restore it to working order. Are you sure about what you said?

did not work, I think it there is no way. :crying: :crying:

Give it to a repair shop (Where they repair your phone). This is the only way as you have tried all methods. Yet it costs some Rupees

Be careful..it might brick your phone completely as the power button is linked to motherboard. This has happened to my friend's mini, when he gave it in so called samsung service center....even they failed to repair power button and bricked his phone...they gave him a dead phone..
This is not the right section to post your questions/help....you should post this kind of questions in q/a section.

Dude, virus cannot affect your hardware. But still if you think then make a full.format
Go to cwm - mount - format system etc
P.S this will format your OS too u then need immediatly flash a rom.
Or
Open your galaxy mini
Clean power button
Re close it
It's simple YouTube it.

I tried this updating your phone through kies and then check or press emergency recovery button

There's no such thing as virus can affects the power button.
Really, Android malware isn't exact thing as Window's malware. Android's virus needs permission to make your power button not working.
This is a hardware problem, I believe. Try to send it to SSC.

And its better to visit phone shops so may check your phone problem.

This is true but you need to pay the amount they want when fixed.

I managed to fix the button. How? I dont know
but I'll tell what happened.
I installed the Miui rom v4 by magmini, a couple days later I was watching a video and turned the phone upside down.
and the button is working again, I'm still trying to understand what happened.
Thanks everyone for trying to help. :victory:

S3 mini hard-bricked?

Hello,
I wanted to root my S3 mini (GT-i8190, that worked but then I wanted to enter Bootloader. I downloaded EZ-Unlock 11.apk and installed it on my S3 mini. I launched the app and selected unlock and after I wanted to reboot it, it didn't work anymore... I can't enter Recovery Mode... I live in the Netherlands so I actually don't want to buy something from Amazon or so. I saw a little movie with a paperclip and graphite but that vid has been removed... HELP ME PLEASE!!!
