Try kies mini, or search the forum for jf7 ota. There should be an odin installer or a flashable .zip or both.
There its also a jf7 build that was leaked prior to the ota update and is not the same so make sure you search for the ota build. You can also look at a custom rom. The cognition 2.1.x roms are built off of the ota update and have root, busy box, voodoo lag fix, and some other tweeks built in like optional overclock/undervolt or hsupa and back light notifications. But future ota updates are not likely to work. 'cept for maybe over the kies mini update.
Cognition 2.2 versions are built off a leaked froyo release and have a couple bugs related to a problem with the device id that its causing a problem on some phones and not others.

We all know the Captivate is getting its official 2.2 update in a few months.
My question is, since I rooted my Captivate, will I have to do anything special to update? Or, will I just be able to manually check for updates and It will install automatically from there?

Updating through Kies is a piece of cake if there is an update available. I don't know what the stock ROM was in UK but I guess early phones shipped with XXJF3. For everything else, read the FAQ!
Hi, xxjf3 was the veraion i had, is therw anywhere i can download from as foe kies the reason i updated manually using odin was thwre was an update through kies but it would not allow me to update, if someonw could provide a guide to rom update alk the differwnt ways would help.

I see you can't see my signature when using your phone...
Check the FAQ sticky when you get to a PC. You can't do it on the go anyways:

The only official tool for updating is Kies. However if you want to load arbitrary firmware you can use Odin (which is a leaked Samsung tool) or Heimdall (a custom flashing tool developed by myself) once it's been tested that is, it's in a public alpha at the moment.

Just receive notification for an update for flash player. I am running rooted 2.2 stock from rom. Manager. Does updating broke anything?
Depends on how you are rooted the flash/others update breaks some of the root methods
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
From what I have been seeing it breaks the "1 click" type roots you got from installing an app. You can get root back but until a new exploit is found you will have to do it the "hard" way (push custom recovery and then root via update.zip)
This update also enables Exchange Policies, allowing your Exchange server to be set as a Device Admin and force policies down. It is a non-event if you do not link to a corporate email system.
Thanks for the info. But is there any way to stop it poping up every other minute.?
Ok i have a droid1 and the x...this morning i received this notification in mu droid1 so i didn't install..my question is maybe is dumb question but i will ask it... is there official froyo for droid1 cause i using froyo but i install leaked version a while ago...so is there is better than the leaked one..???? Its worth install the official ota??? Thanks...sorry for my english not my primary language

Go into settings about and see what version you have latest is frg01b I believe ... of you have anything else you can grab the latest version from rom manager . Search for it in market.

Can't happen. Just flash to JF6 then run kies mini to get KB1

Superoneclick works alright. I've heard it doesn't root official KB1 yet. I could be wrong Cuz I think the official KB1 is garbage. If you want KB1 then flash cognition.
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium
No, I've heard that SuperOneClick is pretty much the "only" way it'll root the official 2.2 KB1.
Ok, I upgraded with kies, and got kb1( uckb1), and I rooted with superoneclick (1.7). No problem at all, but I did use a computer running windows 7.
About ji6. There is now an Odin for UCJI6 (i think it is one click, but not sure). I found the link somewhere in the forum,i don't have it handy.
If I find link, will post.

Yeap, you should be fine to use any of these ODIN files.
2.1 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBSMALFJ
2.2 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QL6NX702
If you need instructions, just yell again
I would probably recommend the 2.2 one (if you're not going to flash any custom ROMs).
If you are thinking of custom ROMs, then I recommend going to 2.1.

Many thanks to Venomio for these links. He supplied them to me in the course of another problem I had.
Hah funny story
so here is a funny story,
so I flashed using odin back to jf6 and then used kies mini to get to kb1, but halfway through the upgrading process the kies mini force closed and my phone was semi-bricked. I sent it into samsung. it came back, same cosmetic wear, ENTIRE inside of the phone was replaced
Wow. What build number is your Cappy now then?
They sent me one with kb1

im sorry im late to the party but i was wondering if anyone else was experiencing any trouble with trying to upgrade to 2.2 and saying the server to get the firmware was unavailable. i am running the stock rom on the phone. thanks.
The update to stock 2.2 is via Kies mini, not OTA. Search here or go to Samsung's site for the drivers and Kies mini.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
hey thanks for the relpy i had already downloaded that that was where it told me the firmware was unavailable
Oh, sorry. I though you were trying to get the update by checking software update from the phone.
So, Kies recognizes your phone, but tells you there are no updates? What version of Kies are you using?
