12. Hi friends, you can download Android 2.2 (froyo) from here:-

    http://www.filefactory.com/file/cbe2d13/n/android-x86-2.2-generic.iso

13. Does anyone else have the problem of the downloading page (Android bot with a shovel) screen not doing anything for a long time?

    • I downloaded this tool since i screwed up my phone deleting everything from my SD card, i previously rooted and unlocked and i was running Android 2.2 Cognition.
      Once the SD card was Formated i lost everything and when i rebooted my phone it would get stuck on the Cognition startup screen just after the AT&T logo.
      I followed all the steps from this post and WALA Android Froyo 2.2 YEAH!!!
      no problems at all once the setup was started, just make sure you follow the instruction.
      It worked for me give it a try

14. How long should this update take? i have been in Downloading mode with Odin in:
    File analysis..
    Set PIT file..
    DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!!

    for over an hour now….

    • I have the same issue. Its stuck in “Do not turn off Target”

    • I had to kill it since i was using my work computer to upgrade the phone, took it home, repeated the steps, flew by in 10 minutes, and DONE.

      im sure it was the MAN keeping me from enjoying my Froyo.

    • DO NOT use a 64 bit system to upgrade. The upgrade only works with 32 bit systems..How lame is that

15. oh one more thing. when i plug in my droid it says it cannot find the device driver. i tried to install the one i downloaded from this site but it says i already have a driver installed for this phone. I dont see it on the list of drivers. when i plug the phone in, a new one pops up with a warning on it and i delete it but it still wont let me instal the new drivers and the one that gives me the warning is not there when the phone is not plugged in. Any advice on how to uninstall that driver? what its called? etc? ty in advance.

16. I downloaded the oden3 one click and followed the instructions step by step including the comment that helped me get it into download mode but i dont think it is recognizing my phone. the oden box is basically blank and when i click start it says “all threads complete 0/0”. There is nothing there to download to my phone. Any suggestions?

17. You forgot to tell people to turn off phone. your guide is usless without that VITAL STEP

18. did this update, followed it step and step and it worked for a few days. but now i have no 3g..help?

19. Just asking an unanswered question from earlier comments..is this Froyo update a complete wipe/install meaning we will lose contacts & apps or is it actually an upgrade and will retain existing data? Thanks!

20. this update is nor non rooted phones right? and is it still working fine after the update? (the phone)…like how is it today from the time you installed the update?

21. This thing works great , thanks a ton !

22. Hey guys, even if there’s an official update from samsung froyo 2.2 for AT&T Samsung Captivate & Similar US Galaxy S phones.. I’ll wait like 2 or 3 months…. to install it just to see how is working out to everybody….

    The reason: I had a Samsung vibrant i9000m (BELL Canada) with Android 2.1, and I installed Android 2.2 official release through samsung kies…. 2 days later my phone was bricked and the sd card was dead. (YES with the official release)… SDCARD dead… HARDWARE issue triggered by a software update….

    Be careful, don’t rush…
    Samsung has been having a hard time on getting this update, there must be a BIG REASON for this…. maybe devices are having SERIOUS problems to handle FROYO…
    I don’t want to sound dramatic but.. It just happened to me…. BTW Thanks Samsung Canada your Social Hub support center is crap.

    TIP: Buy a pure google phone N1 still the best on the market….

23. its work amazing mannn thanks

24. Does this root your phone, and/or VOID the warranty?

    • Flashing/upgrading with this ROM will void your warranty.

25. If you can find a version that works with Macs, yes. This version uses an installer that only runs on Windows so this one will not work for you I am afraid, and I don’t know of a Mac version.

26. is there a way to install froyo if im using a mac?

27. is the gps fix working? that is basically the number one reason i want to put this on my captivate, i want to at least get where i want to go using navigation.

28. YEah I am pretty much dumb when it comes to this… and when I put it in download mode Idk what I am looking for on the phone to see if its working or if I need to reboot the system or what… any ideas

29. yup its working great but u have to remember u have to shut off the phone first and then push volume button

30. do i have to unroot and remove cognition using odin? i didnt make a backup. or can i just install this and not worry about removing cognition?

31. Thanks so much for this. I swear my phone runs a 110% better. Also thank you MISoFine. My phone is AT&T captivate so ya it works on that.

32. It works on captivate i897?

33. Figured it out. As soon as I removed the sim card and sd card it worked perfectly. I don’t know if it was one or the other as I removed them both.

34. One click updater seems to be stuck at File Analysis… Now what?

35. It seems to be stuck at File Analysis… Now what?

36. It works awesome! Thanks so much

37. Well i just bought the phone 2days ago and i updated to 2.1update1 and was eh?? i heard about froyo for awhile on numerous phones my friend has verizom=n and already has froyo so when i seen the unofficial release i went for it and to be honest it works perfect so far i have tethering and allshare is awesome fast to so id say do it dont wait cause for all we know they may never come out with froyo!

38. Will this upgrade wipe out all the pre-installed apps? Eg SWYPE?

39. code ninja– how do you restore the 2.1?

    • you can use odin 1 click from the xda developers website.
      here is a url
      http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989

40. or just do adb reboot download

41. Has anyone tried this on an AT&T Captivate in the US? I bought the Captivate because AT&T told me they would have Froyo out in mid-Sept. Now they say they won’t put it on Captivate. The only reason I bought the phone was for the WiFi hotspot and unless I can figure out how to put Froyo in my phone, I’m out of luck.

    • hey RB, i just updated my Captivate to the latest Froyo firmware release, and its working just fine. =]
      so far so good! hehe.

    • did you looseall your stuff?

42. no, someone posted how to install it again but i havent received an answer to my question yet. i would love to do it but don’t want it to be too big of a hassle when the official version comes out.

    • most likely you will have to restore to stock 2.1 to get the official update from at&t.

    • That doesn’t matter because at&t will probably never release the update!!!!!

43. (for the others that didn’t know)

    FYI–
    Download mode (Noticeable by an Android robot digging with a shovel) is reached by taking everything out (Battery, SIM, MicroSD). Then putting in battery. Holding the volume buttons, you plug in the USB cable to your computer. (Don’t press the power button at all in this method).

    OR

    ‘ve never had to take everything out. I just do this:

    1-NO power to phone (turned off, NOT plugged in)

    2-hold both volume buttons

    3-insert usb

    4-release volume buttons

    should take you right to it….

44. Anybody??

    • Hey man, I’m looking forward for a answer too, but nothing. Did you found out if we have to uninstall this unofficial froyo 2.2 when the official 2.2 comes out?

45. When the official 2.2 comes out for the captivate should i uninstall this and put the official version on it? how do i do that if i want?
