[Q] Questions about 2.2 stock

I recently just flashed a new rom and I had realized I never tried the stock 2.2 from samsung and I was wondering what people thought of it and if they were still able to flash other roms or use odin to go back to stock 2.1 and then flash other roms again. Or does updating to 2.2 mess up some of that?
And is it even worth it to try and check it out?

I am running serendipity and my wife has stock. I would not go back to stock if att were to pay me. Her Gps was messed up, bad battery life and other strange issues.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

the only thing 2.2 may mess up for flashing roms is it installs 3e recovery which needs signed update.zip packages (can be patched ) , and sometimes you need a new root program.
besides that its... stock. with the 2.2 updates...

Has anyone tried reflashing odin or using clockwork/rooting in 2.2?
I'm thinking i'm going to stay away from it at this point but curiosity my get the best of me....

i sucessfully rooted it using superone click method...but had problem flashing clockwork mode as there is sign verification problem...so i tried to flash back to 2.1 and used AIO method...which bricked my phone...so better to keep flashing good custom roms and be unbricked ....stay away from stock froyo...its exactly 2.1 with stock froyo capabilities...

[Q] Can't Go Back To Stock!

First I have a Captivate 1007.
Very easy to get into Download Mode so I know the phone isn't bricked.
I was running a version of Serendipity Rom. I wanted to try something different.
So I used what I always use the ODin3 One-Click Stock back to Eclair.
I get nothing but a boot cycle showing the AT&T screen.
Must I go to Stock Froyo now?
Would appreciate some guidance as I'm stuck after a few hours of searching!

Have you tried to flash odin again
CM7

have read someone something the same what only works with him is flashing the leaked froyo. you may flash back to stock eclair after everything is working.

The leaked Froyo from Eugene?
I have that one I was just hesitant to flash it.
There is no .PIT file with it though. Is that ok?
EDIT:
Just tried with Odin3 1.7 got Eugene_JK2_Froyo.tar (2).md5 is invalid.
Going to try this one I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears.exe

I have 1007 build, I would have to agree with ^^this^^.
Something might of happened in the flash. Try it again.

Use these specifically.
2.1 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBSMALFJ
2.2 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QL6NX702

Working now after flashing with I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears_1_.exe
What do you guys recommend flashing now back to original Eclair stock or staying?

Really up to you at this point. I don't bother with stock (original) firmware as they are bloated and whatnot.

Indeed. Going to try something with good battery life now!
Thank you for all the help fellas!
EDIT: Also I can't go back to 2.1 Stock. Only 2.2 Stock!

[Q] Alternative Download link for 2.1 sbf files?

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with my Milestone after trying to update it from 2.1 to 2.2, its stuck on the "M" logo. I've tried flashing it again using the SBF on and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221[/url] but I'm still getting the same boot problem. I was wondering if I tried flashing it back to 2.1 if that would work and where I could find the SBF as the multiupload links from the above site no longer work.
Cheers

Flashing problem

Hi, I encountered a problem while rolling back from android 4.0 (unofficial) to honeycomb. I tried several roms and recovery files and everything seemed to be fine. After the flashing process, when I boot my device it asks me for a password. I have never actually used any passwords. Can you please tell me what this problem is about?

you will need to NVflash to stock 2.2 then flash a 3.2 recovery and then flash the 3.2 update.pkg (if using official) otherwise flash a CWM and honeystreak

Returning to stock from CRB1 Oreo

Ok so for the life of me I cant get off CRB1 . I've flashed BRA6 but it fails in odin plus ive tried to flash 3 updates before BRA6 and still fails in odin. Am I stuck until the next base with matching bootloader comes out or has anyone figured out how to get back to sprint stock yet? Any help would be appreciated.
