I hear ya. I still have OCLF and Z4Root on my Captivate, but I guess they won't work under 2.2.

z4root is supposed to work on 2.2.

I did... I just got an abort message

At what point in the process did you get the abort message? Did you get far enough to go into recovery mode?

MissBrightside · Dec 29, 2010

Yes I did go far enough to get into the recovery mode.

Just got Cognition 2 on my Cappy sitting in the parking lot at work without a computer. Not to sure if I did anything bad, but it seems to be working fine.BTW I wouldn't recommend doing that above if you don't have a charger. My battery was about dead when I was done and I have no clue what would of happened if it died in the middle

I'm still new to Android but I've never had a phone I haven't bricked lol.

Worst case scenario is a soft brick in which you have to use the boot loader's recovery mode to upload a firmware to it, so not that bad.

What in the name of all that is technical? One click root people, please![PROGRAM] Updated:One Click Root/UnRoot (Mac and PC) - xda-developers

Please PM me if that fails to work.

-If the phone dies during a ROM/firmware update it will leave the phone in a semi-broken state. You can still try the 3 button combo to get Download mode so you can Odin one click back to 2.1 Eclair and try again. Or worse, you'll need a hardware jig (home made improvised device) to get the phone into Download mode to Odin back to 2.1 Eclair stock.

The 1st time I rooted my Stock was with z4root and it did great and I saved the apk on my Computer. But after some z4root update I had problems with phone hanging on reboot so I went to the 1click root method. Have you any problems with the z4root app? I might give it a try again since I have it saved.

The first time I ever used z4root it took 2 tries. The first pass it hung before reboot but I simply did a battery pull and tried again and it worked. Might have been since I had rooted first with OCLF, then unrooted to try out z4root.

Since then it's worked first pass every time.

That is the exact sequence I had. First pass hung etc.,I may try again.

I faced no problems and I think its first version...I never keep it on my phone just on computer....I install it when I want new rom..

If u want i can send u the apk..and u can try urself....

one click root worked for me last time i used...but before that i was having some error using it...so i took z4root method

I'd make sure you're comfortable flashing 2.2 roms before trying to flash 2.3. In a nutshell you have bootloaders, a kernel, and a rom that all have to be flashed. Do plenty of reading before you go down that road. Happy trails!

I know this forum is for those who have ROOTED or requesting assistance to ROOT. This more of a basic question because I have a Cappy thru work and I do not dare ROOT/FLASH my phone....

Long story short: has AT&T pushed 2.2 out yet? I sure haven't seen it and I've been doing a check every 24 hours. I was just wondering if my phone is jacked, because I haven't gotten the newest Market, either! (I sure would like to watch my NETFLIX like my Verizon friends do.....)

2.2 has been out for a long time.

Right, I understand that - but when I go and "force" my phone to look for updates, AT&T says there are none.

I just restored back to factory settings hoping to be able to get an updated load from AT&T and of course, nothing.

You're doing it wrong. If you bother to check AT&T or Samsung's website (or any forum post that announced 2.2 for the Captivate) you'll see that 2.2 is only available through Kies. Check with them and follow their instructions. Pro tip: Kies only works with 32-bit Windows.

Not true about it only working with 32-bit. I used my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop and the update installed with a hitch.

dear all,
could you please help me as i need to upgrade my Galaxy ACE mobile from 2.2 to 2.3 how i can do this, where i can find the software?

El Niche · Sep 22, 2011

I've got a question for those already in 2.3.4 (KH3). Is there a lot of difference between that and stock att froyo? (has KH3 been stable?) I've been in 2.2 and never thought about changing it but now I'm seeing my phone start to hang a little bit. Its becoming slow when opening some apps or the browser.
I have been reading in the XDA forums and seem to have an idea how to upgrade to KH3. Can I see a speed and battery improvement with the upgrade to GB? Or should I just wait for ATT or a leaked 2.3.5?

Thanks !

PS: FYI, tell me if this looks good:
-Do a OneclickOdin for bootloaders from Cezar first
-Do a OneclickOdin for Stock I897UCKH3 with boog_kh3_kernel3, NO Bootloaders

Any recommendation would be appreciated. Thanks to all!

leaked 2.3.5 is already out. and you shouldnt need to do 2 flashes, just a odin with the firmware and bootloaders

Thanks, I will probably do flashing as you said. I just thought that if I did it the other way it would be easier to flash victory rom that requires that kernel. But ill prob just stay in KH3 stock.
Did you upgrade? Do you see a difference in performance / battery? I have seen 2.3.5 but these are not for captivate specifically, correct? these are for i9000? I want to upgrade to something for the captivate.

Thanks again for your help

I thought you had planned on saying stock 2.3.x and thats why i recommended doing it with one flash. if you wanted to go to a rom i can see why you would do it in 2 flashes.

but yes i have been on 2.3 since the first leak, i am currently on 2.3.5 mosaic VII which is my favorite. I was on 2.3.4 apex for awhile, and when upgrading to the new 2.3.5 apex ran into a wifi problem. after that i went back to mosaic.

the battery on mosaic has been great, one 2.3.4 apex it was great also. and yes the 2.3.5 leak is i9000. i can understand wanting to stay on a captivate release, which is very good, but the i9000 release may even be smoother

El Niche · Oct 5, 2011

Thanks for the info Crimson. I actually (after reading all the options in XDA) decided to go for it. It was very easy. I decided to go with the one click odin of 2.3.5 stock. As easy as connect, click start and done.
So far I've been very happy, my phone seems more responsive which is what i was looking for (although it might have to do with the restore to factory settings I did). Battery life is slightly (need more time to test), better. But I can see at the end of the day a 5-10% improvement. So far so good and smooth. Thanks for the help! Now I just need root to get rid of ATT crap.....
