I can't flash any earlier version. This is a model 1009 Captivate that came with JH7 out of the box.
Flashing to any earlier version will either brick the phone or cause a kernel panic on boot. I had to make and use a jig to get it back.
I searched the Captivate Android Development Forum and all I found were .zip files only flashable through ClockworkMod Recovery.
I really need to flash to stock. Please. Where can I find JH7 Odin?
Follow this guide, tell me how it goes:

I used this method on my 1010 and it worked beautifully. Wish there was a one click option, but really it's not that bad.

Thank you so much. This worked! I am now running Darky 8 on my Cpativate Model 1009! Thanks!
Glad that it worked out
Actually in the process of flashing back to JH7 right now (exchanging my Captivate due to the random shutdown issue).

First I have a Captivate 1007.
Very easy to get into Download Mode so I know the phone isn't bricked.
I was running a version of Serendipity Rom. I wanted to try something different.
So I used what I always use the ODin3 One-Click Stock back to Eclair.
I get nothing but a boot cycle showing the AT&T screen.
Must I go to Stock Froyo now?
Would appreciate some guidance as I'm stuck after a few hours of searching!
Have you tried to flash odin again

have read someone something the same what only works with him is flashing the leaked froyo. you may flash back to stock eclair after everything is working.
The leaked Froyo from Eugene?
I have that one I was just hesitant to flash it.
There is no .PIT file with it though. Is that ok?
EDIT:
Just tried with Odin3 1.7 got Eugene_JK2_Froyo.tar (2).md5 is invalid.
Going to try this one I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears.exe

Something might of happened in the flash. Try it again.
Use these specifically.

2.2 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QL6NX702
Working now after flashing with I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears_1_.exe
What do you guys recommend flashing now back to original Eclair stock or staying?
Really up to you at this point. I don't bother with stock (original) firmware as they are bloated and whatnot.
Indeed. Going to try something with good battery life now!
Thank you for all the help fellas!
EDIT: Also I can't go back to 2.1 Stock. Only 2.2 Stock!
Hey guys I hard bricked my captivate and need help evaluating what I did wrong so I can prevent it from happening in the future. I just received the device in the mail (it was a replacement device) and tried to use odin one click JF6 to flash it to eclair. I've done this process 100's of time with my previous captivate but with my new one I saw that it was hanging at sbl.bin and my device turned off. I unplugged the usb, did a battery pull, and used my jig and the phone went into download. PHEW... Thinking that my JF6 odin was corrupt or something I decided to use Odin One click JI6 and the odin hung again but this time I wasn't so lucky. The phone wasn't showing any thing and the jig was infective. The phone hard bricked. My question is how did I brick it and why did it hang when I tried odin one click,. (Odin one click has always worked flawlessly for me in the past). Also are froyo and eclair bootloaders the same? If were to flash JF6 2.1 eclair using odin3 over Rogers Froyo should that work?l (BTW my device is 10.11 build)
edit: I understand that odin one click always has a risk involved because your flashing boot loaders but I just want to distinguish whether it was just an unlucky odin flash or something to do with the build number. Thanks
thats a good question. As far as I know Froyo and Eclair have the same bootloaders, but as far as the Odin problem- im sorry I have no idea.
A lot of people on here have bricked their captivates by using OneClick Odin. What happened was that your replacement captivate came with stock froyo which does not work with OneClickOdin. You were on the right track by going to stock JF6. Not sure why it failed for you but if you would have tried it again I'm betting money it would have successfully flashed. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Yes search for other threads about oneclick NOT being cooperative with newer model captivate sthat came with stock froyo. I said he was on the right track because the correct method to go back to stock is JF6. Which can be found in Icezar1's continuum thread which requires odin 1.3, the pda file, etc. If he would have simply tried the JF6 process again it would have completed rather than using 1 click odin and messing up everything. Read the second post of this thread where ZELENDEL says that newer captivates with froyo don't work with oneclick

First of all JF6 is NOT a "method" of going back to stock. JF6 is stock firmware. And I could be wrong but I thought icezars program gave you
Stock firmware 'JI6'? I'm not next to my computer so I do t really know off the top of my head.
*EDIT* Your right, icezars1 program is JF6 firmware. However it is only given as an alternative. Even states in his OP the only reason why Odin3 Oneclickdownload would not work would be because of an unreliable USB driver. So this is indeed a safer way to get back to stock JF6. Odin3 one click should work too. It's unfortunate that it doesn't "always" work.

I'm sure you understood what I meant when I said JF6. It is certainly a rom and the process mentioned in Icezar's thread is one of the preferred methods of downgrading a newer model captivate that is on stock froyo. Let's hope that we have answered and clarified all questions for the OP.

i actually didn't understand what you meant. You make 2 refrencses to using JF6 as a method. First you said the correct method to go back to stock is "JF6", then you said the JF6 process. Again...both refrences to a single JF6 method, when that is not the case. Both methods used to get back to JF6 stock firmware use Odin. One is a one click program, the other a manual flash using .tar.md5 file.
Duuhdave, if im on stock froyo (im in canada btw, so rogers) and use cezars method of flashing stock firmware through full blown odin, should I be flashing jf6(i897 2.1) or rogers 2.1? I ask this because ussualy they want you to on jf6 before flashing.

As far as flashing to stock with Odin 1click from stock Froyo, it has worked fine for me MANY times. Bricking using the odin 1click may be related to build number. I went from a 1007 (with stock 2.1) to a warranty repacement 1008 with froyo stock. I flashed 2.1 without a problem, and have several other times.
Using Odin 3 one-click, and icezar1's stock rom will both take you to I-897 AT&T stock JF6. If you want to return to Rogers stock 2.1 without flashing bootloaders, use TRusselo's Rogers Captivate Stock ROMS no ATT logo!.
Thanks for the help!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
its the build number that caused it
More than likely it was something about the phone having stock froyo with the 3e recovery. I have never had the issue with any of my 2 captivates 1007's and wife's 1010 build but they came with stock eclair. I know many people have had issues due to the stock froyo with 3e recovery as why there is a modded 3e recovery how to somewhere on this forum. Since he laready had froyo boot loaders it has nothing to do with that, and either was a fubar flash due to 3e recovery, bad USB cable, etc that messed things up.

Hello
I have captivate from at&T ( I897). I upgraded last year from eclair to froyo UCJI6 from some site.
Please can some one guide me step by step how to get latest gingerbread. I never had gingerbread on my phone. Upgrading from UCJI6 scares me.
Your help would mean a lot to me.
Thanks

I looked at your post but it was confusing for me as i dont know much.
There were two download links..one was boot loader free ..other was different one.
Can you please send me the the right steps and link for downloading
thanks
Another resource is
MobileTechVideos <- good video guides.
That being said, modifiying your phone can lead to hard bricks. So above all read and understand everything. Most of the danger is flashing bootloaders (that's why you see packages with and without bootloaders, to limit the danger). If you corrupt one of the bootloaders or flash 2 different (none matching) bootloaders you need a Jtag or UnbrickableMod service. When flashing Gingerbread you NEED gingerbread bootloaders. Once flashed you are golden and don't have flash those ever again.

i checked above forum where u helped the guy with upgrading UCJI6 to GB.
He had issues while upgrading but eventually he was succesfull.
I could not find which method he used ..
please help me if possible
Read up on how to get in Download mode and how to use ODIN (or Heimdall if you are running a none windows machine). Download a Stock gingerbread rom with bootloaders and flash. The latest is KK4, but i've never used that specific package (though it should have bootloaders) I can speak for KJ3 on that thread.
Basics.
Open ODIN (1 click or not) as admind
Get in download mode (press vol up+voldown+connect to computer
If normal ODIN use the PDA slot and select the .rar.md5 package
Hit start
Let it finish and bootup
???
profit
I'm not responsible if anytthing should go wrong. If odin gets stuck or you do something wrong you will soft brick or possibly hardbrick your phone.
i am giving up.
Can not find any links and steps which are of great help for Upgrading to GB from UCJI6.
Some are going back to 2.1 before upgarding some not.
Dont know what to do
Going back to stock is-was only used for cwm flashes. You will use ODIN. 2 way different things. Follow my steps. Or read through the tons of threads here. It isn't that hard.

he gave up because he couldnt find EXACT instructions on going from one particular FROYO build....because if he had done any actual research, he would know that it doesnt matter what version of FROYO he is on, he will need to flash the ODIN package with the bootloaders....its all covered in the vast damn posts that already cover this extensively. there was ZERO reason to fire up a new thread.
he has been linked to good info and has refused to take heed. reading and UNDERSTANDING is more important than holding hands around here.
Yes we were all noobs once and yes, you need to do your research but he's obviously nervous and not understanding what he's reading right now. Hopefully he'll calm down and understand the information he's been given. We're done here.

It's functionally the same as Odin, just an open source alternative. You can do everything that you can do with Odin.
Its annoying to get work on windows though. IMO atleast.

The drivers are a bit wonky, for sure. They only install for one USB port, so then you need to remember which one works every time you flash. I've had mixed results, mostly due to my complete lack of patience and my familiarity with Odin. I just don't want to be the "Just use Odin" guy

If your upgrading through kies to kk4 official, it takes care of everything for you. It has bootloaders in it, no need to flash separately. As for user apps, why would you WANT to wipe your apps? I've went from jf6 to kb1 to kk4 with kies and never lost an app. And I was rooted when I went to kb1
Hey there,
I was trying to fix up a friends captivate and attempted to use the odin oneclick to restore back to stock 2.1. This was before i read that it only works on phones below 1010.

I ran across the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36 for restoring to I897UCJH2 Firmware for phones over 1010 but all the links relating to this are dead.
