Post goes into Question & Answers section. If your looking for a good rom with a captivate base go with Cognition or JJ4 optimized.

Don't be so impatient. Just wait for the release. They said end of November, so that only 11 months.

Yup agreed with everyone they are all leaked. But if you want to find the closests one to stock ATT, then find the One-Click JI6 Odin by DesignGears. That is as close to stock as it gets.

LMAO So true its funny.
I did and update on my phone today and it said there was an update available. Whenever it tries to install it, it fails at 50%. Is that supposed to be 2.2 or is that just a baseband update?

this method clears all user data don't really want to do that!! lol
is there another way or should i just stick it out with the 2.2 build?
As far as I know, there is no other way.

There is no other way.
No one can tell you if you should stick it out or not. It could be that there is no direct upgrade bath from this beta build either.
Only you can decide if the negatives of 2.2 justify rolling back to 2.1. I rolled back I am happy I did.
so i just did the restore following those instructions and it worked great thanks again for all the help!

I recently had to roll back from 2.2 to 2.1 as well. Once my battery died, I kept getting com.android.phone force closures, essentially my phone useless.
BTW, I too used the 1-click to go back to stock, then restored the JH7 nandroid image I made before going to 2.2. Worked like a champ!!
My phone is unlocked on 2.2 cognition. If I go back to 2.1 will it relock? Can I get the unlock code again?
I one clicked to jh7 and it didn't lock for me. That isn't really an indicator that you should just go ahead and one click back. There seems to be quite a bit of randomness to this platform.
I would assume that if you do go back, then getting your unlock code should be possible again, because its just a file that should exist again when back on 2.1.

Same reason I went back. Froyo was nice but too many "oopsies" for me. I'll wait until AT&T butchers it and then DG puts a new cognition rom out!
I am kind of thinking of doing this too. I like 2.2. But I went to it just a few days after getting my phone and I have a lot to learn. Thinking of going back to 2.1 so I can play more with the phone. I like a lot what voodoo can do. I do not have that with 2.2.
Has anyone been able to update their captivate to froyo 2.2 through kies? if so how?
i think someone sold their captivate and bought an i9000, and then they updated through kies....its kind of a roundabout way to get it done, but it works!!

No.
There is no official froyo for captivate.
Will FroYo come through the in phone software update menu?
Because Kies WILL NOT work with me and I'm tired of messing with it.

What ROM are you running on your phone? Also, have you tried mini kies?
Um.. thought there is no "official" release date for Froyo for the Captivate specifically?
I heard about the Samsung announcment that all Galaxy S devices will be getting 2.2 rolling out starting in Europe (To the Swedes yah doncha know?) then will slowly migrate to the U.S.
I wouldn't expect to start seeing the official OTA for Captivate until around Christmas.

Woo, Mini Kies worked; at least it recognized my phone.
It says firmware upgrade is 2010-09-10.
I do have a question about flashing 2.2 FroYo from Odin:
Will this root my phone?

Many thanks.
My SGS has I9000DTJG3, do I need to upgrade to newer 2.1 before upgrade to 2.2? Or can I flash directly to Froyo 2.2?
Sorry I don't know but I was pondering the same thing.
What I've decided to do was wait another month for the update to roll out (AU Virgin/Optus) and see how much they've patched things up in Froyo.
If unsatisfied, I figured a (english) MIUI ROM would emerge and I could try that.
Choices, choices, choices ...

You can upgrade to 2.2 from DTJG3

I do not think anyone has succeeded yet in rooting froyo using unrevoked. I would not her on it and instead use wildpuzzle that is based on the htc froyo for europe.

OK i think so.
that's why smart people instead have flashed the update.zip without HROOT. So Unrevoked remains after FroYo flash
Just had to flash the superuser paket again and superuser is back!
I think that I found a solution...Maybe if you install a shipped ROM and root the phone again will solve the problem...I will give it a try..

That means KA7 is a leak above official..
Wonder if this will be the OTA? Hopefully we'll know soon.
IF this is the OTA, would loading it via ODIN be identical to getting it via OTA or would anything be missing/different?
