I am simply responding for your information here. To obtain a copy of Kies Mini for the PC, click on the download button below. I’ll walk through the somewhat nerve-wracking process so you can get Android 2.2 (Froyo) on your Captivate. This update is only available by tethering your Captivate via a USB cable. KiesMiniForCaptivate110114. When you are in this situation, the best (and sometimes the only) way to update your Captivate is with the Kies Mini for PC software, which is available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 32-bit. according to the KiesMiniForCaptivate110114.exe version information. The standard disclaimer here is you need to read and understand the risks, no one but yourself is responsible for anything that may go wrong. KiesMiniForCaptivate110114.exe is part of Kies mini and developed by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. If you absolutely need Gingerbread ('cause it kicks Froyo butt), then hit up XDA Forums, go to the Captivate developer section and lookup instructions to install latest unofficial 2.3.4 GB for Captivate. AT&T captivates are still on Froyo (KB1 I think) and will not get the Rogers GB update.

Specifically, the CSC which is different between a Rogers SGH-i896 and an AT&T SGH-i897.

I'd rather just get a rom at this point and follow a step-by-step guide instead.Īlthough the Rogers and AT&T Captivates are mostly hardware equivalent, there are software elements that differentiate the two. When I googled that topic I read stories about people having to format the internal SD card for it to finally read the phone! So i'll eliminate that option. I tried the regular Samsung Kies but it won't recognize my phone.
