Master clear does not bring you back to stock. You are using the wrong aspect of the odin program

I want to upgrade to official Froyo from Samsung directly but won't accept my current (and thought to be stock ROM) JH2. I read on other forums that this should be Bell's Stock ROM but when I loaded it and tried to upgrade using Kies it said that this cannot be upgraded...
Can anyone help me?

Registry patch it and under poof select the one that say's canada. Forgot which one. I did it that way and i was on jpo.
Oh and fyi, wrong section.
First, sorry about the section
Second, I'm not that expert in these topics, how do I registry patch it?
Get Link
Playaround with the spoof menu.
Thank you for your help...I will try this.

First of all I would post this in Q/A section. Second of all you need to use ODIN to get back to 2.1 stock before you flash cognition. Although I hope you know Cognition is NOT gingerbread it is froyo.
System version does not make any difference to flashing ROMs

You tried the one click root? It should be a simple process of downloading the correct update.zip and then flashing it through the recovery menu. Takes like 30 seconds. I don't think it matters what version of android you are on to root...

this does NoT work on the leaked ji6 without a proper kernel....
Right, firstly this is my first post, so please bare with me.
I have a (UK) Galaxy S that WAS running FROYO 2.2. I recently rooted the phone for various reasons only to find out that some features would not work. I then un-rooted the phone to return back to the standard running 2.2.
During the un-rooting process the phone crashed, and subsiquently would not reboot. I got round this by recovering it using ODIN Ver3.0......But its restored the phone to 2.1, Build Number ECLAIR.XWJMB, Kernel 2.6.29 rootSE-S603 #2, Baseband version I9000XXJM4.
Ive tried to update the system using Kies but it says that it isnt able to update and trying to update using ODIN didnt work. Can i get my phone back to running FROYO 2.2 that i loved so much?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated
Thanks Rob
PITS
I believe this thing happened to me also. I resolved it by checking if the .PIT as per this table http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm is compatible with the firmware i wanted to patch on my phone.
Hopefully it will solve your troubles too
Heres my situation, I received a new phone from AT&T after a warranty claim, the new phone was running stock 2.2. I didnt want to mess with trying to root/flash the phone when it was on 2.2 because I understand that it is different, so i simply used Odin to get back to 2.1, and then flash a new rom. At this point, in order to get back to stock 2.2 should i flash back to stock 2.1, and then use kies mini to get to 2.2? or is there an easier way? Any input would be great! Thanks!
