My situation is like this:
- rooted and clockworkmod via Unrevoked.
- made Nandoid backup of original ROM.
- flashed WildpuzzleRom.
- flashed CyanogenMod RC.
- did all the wipes and restored Nandroid backup of original ROM.
Will I be able to install official HTC Sense Froyo when it comes out OTA in this setup?

From all the responses I have received on the same question I think so. Remember, this will unroot too!
you can download the update manualy when it will be available, use this tool FOTA Fetcher

Okay, I'm relatively new to Android phones in general, but recently purchased a captivate and absolutely love it. I upgraded to the unofficial leaked version of froyo and am now wanting to try out a custom rom. The issue I'm having is as follows:
I've read that before flashing a custom rom, it is recommended to flash back to the stock rom first. When I tried that, I flashed back to the stock rom (pre OTA update that fixed the 3 buttom recovery mode issue) and was not able to get into recovery mode. I then tried to do the ota update and it kept failing. I then flashed back to the leaked froyo rom via download mode and am basically stuck here. My question is two fold. Does anyone have a link to the stock rom file that has the latest update (I forget the version number) or can I just flash to a new custom rom from the leaked froyo build? Would that build be considered stock?

Don't flash back to stock unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it's pointless and just creates additional opportunities for things to mess up and brick your phone. Wiping your data and cache partitions with CWM recovery should be sufficient for a clean ROM install.
As for the stock ROM you're looking for, it depends on your Captivate. If your phone came with JF6 and working button combos, and is an older build (1009 or older), this should work fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
If your button combos were disabled, either use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439 -OR- the first link followed by installing the OTA update (be careful, as an incomplete OTA update can perma-brick your phone).
If your phone is a build 1010 or came with JH7, the stock ROM you need is JH2. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36
Is this possible??
can I directly flash the official 2.2.2 google pack on CM7?
What I want is to receive the official OTA notifications...
Thanks guys
You can flash it, but you will have to do a full wipe and reinstall all your apps and info.

Does the official google pack include hboot, recovery and radio?
I have the new .35 hboot, amon ra 2.2.1 and 5.0.8 radio...
Google pack doesn't include hboot, radio, or anything of the sort, and doesn't have anything to do with receiving OTA notifications (which you can't install anyway - they'll crash your system - so what do you need them for?).
Google pack includes Google APPS.
With Google pack I mean the official ota package/update...if I want to install the official 2.2.2. and to receive ota updates what I have to do?
You mean official ROM.
Please refer to "Unroot/restore" guide, found in Wiki, in my signature.
Thanks.
I don't understand if I have to restore the original N1 firmware (the very first 2.1 build...the one without the native multitouch to be clear).
I don't also understand what to do with the hboot..do I have to downgrade to 0.33 before all the other operations?
If you just want to run the latest stock ROM, the easiest way is to download and install the stock FRF91 image from ROM Manager, and just watch it update to the current version...

You download official FRG33 ROM, don't downgrade anything, just install it through custom recovery, with signature verification turned off. Once you do that, it erases everything, including custom recovery, and you become completely stock - and then you will receive 2 OTAs, which will bring you to FRG83G - which is 2.2.2.
If you really want - you can update to 2.2.1 manually, it's in the guide. And then you'll only get 1 OTA to 2.2.2.

Thank you very much !
Will a custom recovery prevent Kies from updating my Captivate when Gingerbread gets released? I know alot of folks will say who cares since there are all these great ROM's being created but if I wanted to try the new official released version would Kies work?
Has anyone upgraded to Froyo using Kies with a custom recovery?

Flash to stock before u do that.
Flashing to stock saves lots of headache esp when moving between ROMS. Moving between android versions, well, goes the same without saying.
Thanks Diablo009 for the advice. I am from Canada and I am running stock Rogers Froyo on my i896 Captivate. I am reading lots and taking small steps before flashing a custom ROM. What I plan to do is add a custom recovery, run APN Backup, do a TI Backup then Master Clear my phone and do a ROM backup using Clockworkmod. After that I want to flash Firefly on my phone restore my APN and TI backups. What I need to know is if in a few months Gingerbread becomes available and I restore my original ROM using Clockworkmod will Kies recognize my Captivate even though I keep a Custom Recovery?
Have you, or anyone for that matter, updated your ROM using Kies after adding a custom recovery to your Captivate?

Nope. I am out of the service provider loop for everything. I get all I want from these forums, and don't even bother to connect to kies for anything. And long before the service provider can even think of GB, we'd be have many ROMs based on it.
If u plan to use kies for any updates, I would recommend to revert to stock and update.
I would like to restore the stock state of my Nexus one.
I bought yesterday and it is rooted and have cyanogen mod.
But as far as i know there is a 2.3.4 factory rom trough OTA and i would like to try that one too.
If someone already find the way to do this, please link here.
thanks in advance
Read the wiki. Read it again. Use search feature on the forum....
It is on the wiki, here's the link:

bye
ota
thx, and after i restored the factory rom, the OTA will work?
now i have 2.1 (had 2.3.3 cyanogen) your system is currently up to date message in the system update menu what should i do?
now i tried a factory reset and the system update 2.3.3 shows up, strange but... works, and after installing 2.3.3 automatically installed the 2.3.4
1. Installed CWM Recovery under Froyo
2. Made NANDROID Backup.
3. Upgrade to Gingerbread
3. Installed CF-Root for Gingerbread (thanx to Skin1980)
4. Make second NANDROID Backup
All work nice, but some Problems with Root (reboots).
My Plan:
1. Restore Back to Step 2, the Froyo Backup,
2. Upgrade to Gingerbread again.
3. Wait with rooting til Root Problems under Ginger are fixed (hopefully).
Question:
Have read about Problems with flashing stock Kernel under CF-Root/Ginger.
Same Problems possible by restoring Nandroid, or is Nandroid save ?
Or better waiting for a new Root/Ginger and then get it over the unstable Version.
Thank you in advance

but your plan is going back to froyo just to upgrade again?
just make a factory reset and flash the new firmware again, it will delete everything, including root (the internal 16gb memory is safe) and the cf-root kernel
Your idea looks much better/easier.
Thanks a lot.

If you still have issues, you can try my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410035
From there, you can install install CWM and the latest CF-Root from Skin1980 and you'll be golden.
All fine,
Thanks for your advise.
