Were you able to get your phone back to 2.1?
What version of 2.2 are you on? Your options will vary depending

Not true. Odin works regardless of what firmware you're running. If you want to go back to stock JF6, Odin is your application of choice.
Odin back to JF6 is a MUST if you're going to start flashing ROM's...it'll become one of your closest friends, along with ROM Manager and TiBu...
Odin has saved my Galaxy S numerous times in the past few months. I swear by it.

Hey everyone, I've searched and searched for a stock 2.1 rom for my captivate. Everything says to just use ODIN. Well, I have a mac, so that's not an option. Can someone please please point me to a download to a stock 2.1 rom that I can flash from Rom manager? I'd be VERY appreciative of it.
Thanks!
Search heimdall it us not as user friendly as odin, but if you get it working it will flash stock

I am not certain that you should of been trying to reparation. Flashing stock does not require this as far as I was informed by the dev who created heimdall

Hey so im needing to reverse this gingerbread jvb to test something. I flashed the bootloaders so will one click odin get me back safely with the original bootloaders?

Look at this thread and see the section "Gingerbread update and how to go back to stock safely"
Short answer: Yes, Odin3 One-Click will restore the bootloaders. Be careful.
Lol yeah i went ahead and chanced it. I flashed sense fori9000 just to test it out but im back on GB again.

Use Odin one click NOTHING ELSE. Googled for it last night. Top result was a captivate thread. Went back to 2.1, then did one click root and when I got to cwm I installed cognition rom. So much smoother! Ill wait for official GB whenever that may be.
Well, im on an Apex 8.2 GB rom... My question is, what exactly should i do before i send my phone in for repairs?
Im thinking that i should downgrade to a stock 2.2 rogers... is there anything else I should do? Or should i bring it to 2.1? Im really not sure, please let me know! Thanks!
What was on the phone when you bought it? Go with that. TRusselo has a thread with i896 stock roms somewhere in dev forum.
Just use odin one click back to stock. Doesn't matter 2.1 or 2.2.

Thanks to nzahorchak and TRusselo for this.
How would an ATT captivate user get back to full stock? As in the most recently released ATT stock firmware? I think it's KB1? I can't seem to find it. I'd rather not go back to 2.1 and have to update via kies mini.

Is there any way to check what bootloaders I am running? I did have the GB bootloaders installed when I ran Fusion, Fasty & J3 leak but I have Odin'd back to stock with the no bootloader version & Kies Mini upgraded me to Froyo. Does Kies flash the froyo bootloaders? Is there a way I can check using root explorer?

If you flash a TB rom and it doesn't work. The only way to check.

A side from trial and error of kernels and button cimbos you can't. Tho there might be some info in a UART readout. But getting it to even post UART is more then what most of us are willing to do.

If I have an I9000 Gingerbread ROM installed, do I need to flash new bootloaders if I want to flash a Captivate ROM?

No. I've stayed on i9000 GB bootloaders and flashed Captivate ROMs; they work fine.

Normally no, gb bootloaders are compatible with each other, only the stock music player is known to misbehave. Some devs will advise you to use specific bootloaders, but in the end it's ur call. I'd say pick ur poison and stick with it, avoid flashing bootloader as much as u can, as it's THE part in the flashing process where your phone can be hard bricked.
Just flashed a GB stock rom w/ no BL's & it works. Looks like Mini Kies leaves the BLs alone when being upgraded from Eclair.

Are you on Rogers? if so then Kies did update the BL's, if it didnt and you try running a true GB ROM then you wouldnt be able to boot, it would have a bunch of weird colors on your screen when you tried to boot up...
I am on AT&T. Read my first post. I ran custom roms then I went back to stock then upgraded to Froyo thru Mini Kies. My question was to find a way to see what BLs I had after a Kies update. It seems not to touch them on AT&T until GB is official because I just tested another GB rom & it works.

Want to root this phone for my bro. Anyone here know a one click. I was browsing here and it said it was for froyo not gingerbread. He's on stock gingerbread and I want root so I can install ROM manager. Thanks in advance.

Even if you follow the threads linked above, you arent going to get very far with ROM Manager. they havent supported the captivate since it was on 2.1 eclair I believe. Learn to use ODIN.

-_- OMG I tried to be nice. You don't ODIN CWM. You ODIN a kernel that contains CWM injected into the kernel itself. I recommend CORN kernel and KK4 custom or stock ROM

I recommend you do a lot more reading of the resources available throughout the Captivate section before flashing anything, with ODIN or without.
