My phone is running build FRF33B (googling this build number returned no results at all). It was a non public build. I got the phone from Adobe as part of a (kongregate) promotion to get flash developers to edit some games so they could run on froyo, and hence I really don't know what was done to the phone before I got it (there's an unlocked symbol when it boots, and even though it's a t-mobile nexus I'm using it on AT&T's network).
FRF33B is nice and usable (but full of minor bugs which get irritating after a while), and I'd really like to update to the latest stable build, but it's not receiving any of the OTA updates, and trying to install any manually gives me a package signing verification failure.
Does anyone here know how I can update the phone? Do I need to downgrade it somehow? Do I need to root it? Any help would be appreciated.
Downgrade to erd79 would be my best suggestion and it will update to frf91 I hope that helps and if u need a update zip let me know and I can email it to u

Or just unlock your phone, put a custom recovery, and install whatever ROM you want. Look at the sticky in the development section for details.
Option 3: Search around for the FRF91 Universal update.zip, copy it to your SD card, and flash it via stock recovery.

ok I've done this, and flashed the universal FRF91, now the phone is stuck on the animated X, is this normal? Do I just have to wait or did I do something wrong?
edit: it looks like it just rebooted itself.... still not getting past the animated x part though
edit: wiped the phone and tried again, now it works... got to set up everything on the phone again though and download my apps again... oh well. thanks for the help
Im On Rom CyanogenMod 5.0.8 droid i have lost everything with no back ups of my cellularsouth original rom PLUS I HAVE NO DROID APP MARKET WHAT SO EVER i have a motorola milestone throught cellularsouth and was on the milestone forums and they told me since i have a cdma phone that nothing the moto milestone forums have nothing to do with it that it is the version only due to the hardware could anyone possible give me the file and instructions to help me set my phone back to the original rom and factory settings right out of the box state and yall will never hear from me again ive been over here for hours playing russian roulette wanting to hack this phone and it is no where as simple as jailbreaking and unlocking the iphone I REALLY NEED HELP and if you dont feel like typing call me at 228-697-7467
THANK YOU
I think the first thing you should do is download the new google apps. You can get them through a search. Go back into recovery and flash the Gapps.zip file. You will then have the market and all the google apps. There is a "rule" that any cyanogenmod ROM cannot have the google apps inside it and must be flashed separately. Go back to where you got the ROM and you should be able to find the Gapps.zip file. Try that first. I am not sure how to get you back to stock, but someone might be able to help in that situation.
If you have a custom ROM on the phone, the hard part is over. Just flash the Gapps.zip file and you will be done. Just breathe and relax. All will be fine.
ok but
im new to the going to recovery and flashing files inform me with a little more of that process been looking it up but know one speaks english when it comes to flashing.
I would go to theunlockr.com. That is where I went to learn how to flash ROMs on my Eris. Look under the how to section for your phone and how to flash a custom ROM. It should give you all the info you need there. Try it out. You will end up with a phone that you will want to keep for a while still. Give yourself time to learn and you might be flashing ROMs daily just to try them out. It will become second nature to you. Trust me, it has for me.
You Have Been Alot Of Help But What About Firmware and Base Band Issues
I put this Sapphire rom on my phone figured out how to put all the good apps and stuff back on but now i have firmware 2.2 so does that mean i can go back to and roms that worked with 2.1 or 2.0.1
If you mean you want to go to previous iterations of android, its entirely possible just find the right rom, and concerning baseband, depending on what you mean by that, you will have to go to your carrier to flash your phone if your service isn't working, but a baseband update is available via rom manager, though as far as I know thats only to increase internet speed. Btw, noone should have to play games of chance to find a solution for an android fix, or be having to search for hours, either, android= ease of use and application, also, your completely welcome to these forums, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Pheonix FAQ
Hi. I'm currently on Phoenix 4.5. If i would like to flash to Phoenix 5.2 or Supernova 2.3, would I need to odin it first or can I just flash it over my current ROM?
Also will I need to clear cache, factory reset, etc before flashing?
Thank you.

Really, it's up to you. Some people like to go back to stock. Some don't. I NEVER odin back unless I want to get rid of voodoo quickly. Here is my procedure; boot into CWM recovery, factory reset, clear dalvik cache, install rom. I have never had any problems with this method.
yay! a dedicated Q&A!
maybe here ill get a better answer regarding this:
thanks for answering, although it may be true, i have a feeling that it isnt exactly correct for some of the questions i asked. can any one else comment/confirm?
All captivates are not created equally. Meaning you could have two side by side and flash both with the same rom and have one perform better with it than the other. So its all about finding what works best for you

i feel dumb asking but ive been wondering for a while, and havent found a clear answer,
can someone explain what the advantage of having a jpy and a js5 version is?
whats the difference? different base rom ya, but whats different? and why do some people prefer one over the other even when they are torn appart and customized anyway? is it a regional thing?

As for me, I disable lag-fix, always Odin back to JF6, Master Clear, then install my new ROM. In the end it's up to you. I've rarely had any issues while doing my flashes this way. majinzen may rarely have any issues doing it his way.
I can only tell you what works for me.
FC from Test-to-speech settings
I'm getting an FC when clicking "Text-to-speech settings" in the "Voice input and output" settings. Anyone else confirm this?
I'm using 5.2 JS5. I did flash to stock and MC before installing (twice).
EDIT: 5.2 JPY does not have this problem.

if you want that feature you will need to grab the tts.apk from another ROM and put it in system/app.

Regular link is JPY and JS5 link is well, JS5.
Speed on regular is awesome and speed on JS5 is even better. Battery is not an issue on either for me and many others. Keep in mind your results may vary depending on use, modem and kernel should you choose to change it.

Thanks, Adam! I grabbed PicoTts.apk from Darky's v9.3B1 and that solved my problem.
no Bootani anymore
ok so im a bit of a novice flash whore but ive not seen this , i downloaded Pr 5.2JS5, then upgraded the new "c' kernal, all doing well except i cant get the tts.apk to install (stole it from FF 2.2), (ohwell) but i changed my bootani to the new "ashes" via renaming and putting in system/media (overwrite).. now i have nothing....its pauses with a black screen for the alotted time as is there would be one, then it loads the home screen. i tried to revert to the original one by downloading it from -hq , but same result ... did i screw up?
EDIT: This Q&A is a nice touch , i read the hell outa the dev forums, but still have some basic questions now and again .. Thanks!!
Edit: so i pulled the original Bootani from the system/media from a copy on my pc and reapplied it and it works , there may be an issue with the compatability of the "add ons" boot animations at phoenix-hq and the current version "5.2' at the moment , so i guess patience is in order....still having force closes after applying the ttsservice.apk to the rom from other roms..... force closes.
edit: so i hope this helps someone else cause its makin me look like an idiot....the file need for the "Voice input/output" in the settings to stop FC's is "PicoTts.apk", i stole it from the "PR 5.2 JSY" and placed it in the "PR 5.2 JS4"...works fine now! .. but i hear that "adam" isnt going to be supporting the JS4 build any longer....sheesh. lol
I love 4.5 but I have one problem, bluetooth does not want to pair with my Ford sync system, any suggestions or changes I can make? I have tried every thing I can think of but it will not find my phone.
[Q] Phone Call Recorder
I am getting ready to flash Phoenix 5.2. Really like Adam's Roms. however I keep seeing more roms with the call recording in the phone dialer. Does anyone know of a way to transport that feature into Phoenix?
Is it just a matter of grabbing the phone.apk?
Is it even worth it?
Any input is appreciated on the matter. I want to try it but not enough to pull me away from Phoenix, Firefly, or Supernova.
A real noob
I am new to the droid phone, and i have flashed my phone to froyo 2.2. I really like to go to the phoenix rom but have a few questions.
1. I am a very visual person and was wondering if there are any videos on how to install phoenix to captivate phone.
2. I looked at the options for phoenix and still did not see if phoenix supports playing call through car speakers, which is why i'm changing roms in the first place.
3 Which phoenix version would be best suitable for a noob.
Hey,I'm using Phoenix since 2.5 now i'm on 5.2 and it's the best rom I've flashed.The problem is I'm backup everything using Titanium Backup since 3.5 (all apps+system data).Before crossing from 4.5 to 5.2 I've backup everything and then restore all of them.Will this mess up my rom ? I didn't found any problems yet.
Sorry for my bad English

General rule of thumb is to back up your user apps and data, but do NOT restore your system settings(data).

Are you able to pair the phone with other bluetooth devices? I'm not familiar with Ford sync or the process for pairing with one... could you describe briefly the normal steps you take to pair to it?

Just to be clear... you've already flashed your Captivate to a 2.2 ROM? If so, which one are you on currently?
1. I don't know of any videos specific to flashing phoenix, however there are videos available on the forums that demonstrate the flashing process (which you've apparently already done once). The process is fairly straight forward even when just following written instructions.
2. Are you talking about playing your call via a built in phone system (such as the previously mentioned sync?)
3. All the Phoenix ROMs have been solid, so I would always recommend going with the latest.

And just to let you know i really do appreciate you taking the time to help a noob out, really. I have researched this but everytime i have tried it, it does not work. I think i have messed up my vcard cause i'm getting an error when trying to import contacts to my phone so i'm just trying to find the easiest way to do this. So thanks now, thanks later for your help.

FAQ
How to flash FireFly? (Method one)
BACK UP!!!
Flash to stock (FTS)
Wait for your phone to reboot and then re-enable debugging
Hook phone back up to pc and Master Clear (MC) using Odin
Load Clockwork update.zip (DOWNLOAD)
Load FireFly_X-X.zip to phone memory
Remove sim and external SD, and unplug USB
Boot into recovery and reinstall packages (You may have to reinstall packages twice to get to Clockwork recovery)
Once in Clockwork recovery (Green Text), select install zip from SDcard
Next select choose zip from sdcard

ok..lemme do the honors....quick ques...am flashing firefly 2.2(downloading it now)....i flashed back to stock JF6...do i need to flash to some base ROM for firefly 2.2 to work??
I'm asking cause i was on darky8.1, then flashed directly to 9.3b1 which resulted in incorrect orientation(i9000), then i read the instructions which expected me to flash to base(resurrection), then flash a captivate fix and then flash to 9.3b1...!!!!
You should be able to flash directly as long as you flash FF 2.2 full not the update package.

Nope, you can download the FF 2.2 from the site. LINK
Pick any one of the mirrors. This will get you FF2.2 with the clock in the status bar.
If you want to remove the clock, you can flash the no clock package.
EDIT: Spaz beat me to it. Thx Spaz.
ok cool..thanks!! lookin forward to enjoy this ROM
..its really irritatin to have to flash to base ROM's and then flash to the updated ROM's....
@xtremekilla09

I flash to FireFly 2.2 and its looks awesome + I've been looking for a ROM that had the fix for when I connect the AUX cable to the car radio I can talk to anyone on the phone and hear them on the car speakers... This ROM has that fix finally, I love it... no more Blutooth head sets. But I have a big issue and is that when I make my 3rd or 4th reboot my phone freeze on the "F" boot logo. It does that vibrating action once and then twice like when there's an error. I have flashed my phone before so many times and had no issues and I have been using all FireFly ROM's ever since It came to life. This 2.2 ROM I have flashed like 4 times and I keep having the same problem and I don't want to flash any other ROM only but this one. What can be the reason for this problem? Please Help!

That is quite a strange problem.
Lets try to troubleshoot it.
Did you install any third party app that needs to load at startup?
Did apply any themes?
Glad to have this open since i cant post on the original thread yet
Sent from my Captivate running FIREFLY 2.2
Q: is hsupa enabled on this rom? also i'm in australia using 850/2100 wcdma could there be any issues with this modem?
thanks, i'm super excited about ff..... it will be my first flash.
haven't even recieved my phone yet but i'm already obsessed!
A: ok, JK4 hsupa positive. oops forgot about the modem thread. still any word on 2100 would help.
thanks

Not sure! but the only one I can think of would be "Launcher Pro", but I have always used it, and this problem has never happened. When you install it, you need to reboot again in order for Launcher to take effect. I do need to point out that before this flash I when to stock with Odin. I never have the need to do this cause I use too flash directly from "Rom Manager" but lately I was noticing that when I flash using ROM Manager It wasn't taking me to the green menu, it was taking me to what I think it was the stock menu with blue, yellow and a red letters where red was an error message,so that's why I decided to go to stock and then I did all the steps needed in order to flash a New ROM using the thread from the development section then I flash FF 2.2 and ever since when I boot like for the third or fourth time it freezes. I hope for a solution... I'm only digging FireFly right now cause lets face it...
Thanks a lot for your attention...
Several Questions
I've been using Firefly since it came out and upgraded to 2.2 last week. I do have a couple questions after having used 2.2 for awhile.
1. Why were the dark apps removed (gmail & market)? It seems like Firefly has a darker theme and using the modified apps as default makes sense. Maybe a CWM zip containing all the dark apps would be an option or links to the forum pages? I was able to find dark versions of Gmail, Voice, Gtalk, and the Market by searching, but I think it would make more sense from a theming sense for these to be included by default.
2. What's the best way to remove the Samsung Apps? I flashed the zip and messed around with it a bit, but realized I don't need it. You can't uninstall it like normal apps so I was thinking about removing it with TiBu, but I don't want to mess something up. Suggestions?
3. I searched around the forums, but I haven't been able to find a simple answer to this: does this rom support call recording? Is this a kernel issue or simply a rom feature that Firefly hasn't implemented? If this is something simple to do without losing theming, I have no problem with that, if not consider this a feature request.
4. Not sure if this is a Firefly issue or an ESPN issue, but since flashing 2.2 my ScoreCenter app keeps reverting to the user Tron98001. I don't know who this is or how it got on my phone, but it keeps changing all my settings. Everytime I delete the app and wipe the data, it defaults to that same user when I install it again. If I change the user and settings, within about a day it reverts back. Again, I'm thinking this is an ESPN issue, but I was just wondering if anybody was having the same issue since I didn't have a problem until upgrading to 2.2.
You can always try different modems, to see which one works best for you.

Again, I'm thinking this is an ESPN issue, but I was just wondering if anybody was having the same issue since I didn't have a problem until upgrading to 2.2.

1. There were too many bugs involved with the dark apps. I decided that it is best to include stock and let users decide based on their preference.
2. I will have to create a CWM zip that takes care of this. It is not as simple as uninstalling.
3. This ROM does not have call recording. It is considered illegal in many states, to record calls without consent of the other part. I just want to stay away from the mess. Users can install that option on their own.
4. That definitely looks like an app issue.
I believe my ROM is more toward the neutral side and I dont wont to force themed apps (that are buggy) or features that can get them in trouble.
I am just being honest.
Let me know if there are more questions.
As FF is rogers based, can it support usb audio out through the car dock? I downloaded the rogers car dock app and no joy. Changed the kernel to FB2, which should have the fix, and still no joy.
Thanks for the amazing rom though!

Not sure! but the only one I can think of would be "Launcher Pro", but I have always used it, and this problem has never happened. When you install it, you need to reboot again in order for Launcher to take effect. I do need to point out that before this flash I when to stock with Odin. I never have the need to do this cause I use too flash directly from "Rom Manager" but lately I was noticing that when I flash using ROM Manager It wasn't taking me to the green menu, it was taking me to what I think it was the stock menu with blue, yellow and a red letters where red was an error message,so that's why I decided to go to stock and then I did all the steps needed in order to flash a New ROM using the thread from the development section then I flash FF 2.2 and ever since when I boot like for the third or fourth time it freezes. I hope for a solution... I'm only digging FireFly right now cause lets face it...
Thanks a lot for your attention...

I did run into this problem when I flashed Fire Fly 2.2. The only way around it was to uninstall Launcher Pro and then install it again. I am not sure what caused the problem but this did solve it for me. The one downside of this is that all the screen setups that I had got removed. But that is minor to me since I move things around all the time any way.

That fix is still in the works in Xcal's kernel. We will have to wait till it is implemented all around.
Thanks for your quick response. I'll wait for the CWM zip to remove the Samsung Apps. I understand the legallity of call recording and it is something I just wanted to try out, anyways I have a follow up question then: if I apply the phone.apk and libs I found (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938860) would I lose the theming of the dialer that comes with Firefly by default? Do you know of any reason why this wouldn't work?

I need some help. I have a revolution with 2.2.2 still on the phone. due to being a noob I tried to install a gingerbread version of a rom on the phone of course It didn't seem to work. by the way i should mention I am rooted and I can not upgrade veia the phone upgrade failed every time. However in the research I have done has lead me to believe that all of the roms I want to try to get a hold of are on a non existence web sight Right now I just need anything that will get my phone back up and running. I would very much like to use the revolt Rom but again the multiupload.com is down. Can anyone help me with this. I have searched the sight but I seem to be going around in a circle.
Ok so thank you for helping me out, however, being as I am slow to understand things. I figured things out. and just so everyone else doesn't feel bad. I have no problem with people laughing at me
this may help...

im currently dabblin with this one since my phone is still runnin 2.2.2 as well, reverted to stock rom unrooted everything and no ota updates so this is how to do it manually.
as long as its not currently bricked otherwise u have to do it the long way. i think, unless im thinkin of my old droid... but if this doesnt help give more info and someone will be able to help
regarding OTA, does anyone know the name of the file, and what folder in which to find it? Tired of having to DL it aGAIN every time whatever I try fails. I'm guessing cache....nothing seems real obvious, like it was on my Bionic
(update, got update to complete 2nd try, MtMichaelson is slightly richer!)
