It's 2.3 that doesn't have the cam working yet. 2.2 is fully functional in both options (CM 6.1 and AOSP)

What do you need to go to 2.1 for? And if you want it back to 2.1 you can use odin3 one click method in the dev section that has the JF6 OS on it.

Install one of the roms that have been created. That will make you feel a lot better with the leaked Froyo. Cognition by DesignGears, Shep has 2 or 3 types of Rom's. Don't give up on Froyo yet as it is actually much faster than Eclair. Were you running a lag fix with Eclair? It was probably making you think it was faster.
so what do you think is the best one and could you please post a link for download and how to install that would be a big help

I have a samsung captivate that i have updated to the leaked 2.2 froyo and needless to say it is a very nice beta version but i am looking foward to the official release my question is there anyone out there that can tell me how to flash everything back to orignal so i will be able to get the OTA update of the official 2.2 froyo noob here in desperate need of help
Sending you over that area.
Cheers,
What is it with all these noobs flashing to 2.2 without knowing how to go back before they start?
Is it some kind of epidemic taking hold? I just don't get it.
How do you start something with no idea how to get back?
Get odin one click jf6 or jh7. You can find them on the forum

Take a deep breath. Ok, there is a decent chance that the over the air update wont work for you no matter what you do. That is the bad news. Good news is that it will be available on this site almost immediately after it is out.
What rom did you flash and why are you so desperate to get rid of it? You jumped in the pool might as well learn how to swim

I flashed the leaked 2.2 rom got it off xda site figured it would be about as easy to do as jailbreaking an iphone but ill admit i couldnt have been more wrong well anyway this leaked ji6 rom has its cool parts but my phone has problems with freezing up now and various occasional hiccups tried the one click flash to stock but that made it worse so back to ji6 i went guess its too late now but just wish i could go back to stock now :-(

Amazing ain't it... Shows how anxious they all are or how little they research these things. I waited quite some time before flashing any roms on my Sprint Hero and once the 1 click rooting became available went over at least 2 dozen different roms intently before flashing CM6 and any additional oc kernels. That phone was a walk in the park compared to this one since you could revert back 100% stock with a current RUU apk.
I wonder whats going to happen when they don't release 2.2 and go straight to Gingerbread in December...how many bricked phones will there be...?

Hi everyone, I am trying to root my girl's hero. Her phone is running very sluggish and slow. Any recommendations on roms would be greatly appreciated. I am coming from a rooted samsung vibrant and it seems the process for the hero is very different. I have some questions. What's the easiest way to root and unroot the hero? Where can I find the stock rom that came in the box just in case I mess up? Also, where are the roms for the updates following the stock rom? How easy is it to unbrick the phone? I use odin to flash my phone back to stock when I flash roms. Is it available for the hero? Thanks.
Do a search for Z4root app.
As far as Roms,once your rooted and try different ones.
Sense Roms by:Nfinite,LiquidSolstice,and others
Non-Sense Roms by:CM,AOSP,Decad3nce and others.
Others can jump in and suggest others .I'm on the road try to help more when I get home

No problem,did you get it done?
Actually not yet. I'm just making sure I'm covering all the bases before root. I'll let you know when I do or have problems lol.

Great glad you got it!

So basically I have a couple questions before flashing my phone to Serendipity 4.3
1. If I flash can I ever go back to "real stock"?
2. Since froyo is not out for the captivate. I was wondering if the 2.2 roms were real froyo roms? (Like the Serendipity 4.3)
3. Since froyo is coming out soon, should I just wait for the ATT version of froyo?
4. If I do flash, can I get the ATT version of froyo? (when it comes out)
Thanks for reading
Yes
Yes
No
And doesn't exist yet

Thanks for the fast reply. but for my 4th question i mean when ATT does release froyo can i use it?

Yes of course, all you'll have to do is an update through kies once you flash back to stock when it comes out.

He's right.
I wouldn't wait for AT&T, it could be a long time before they release anything. Happy flashing!!

So true...
Waiting for AT&T Froyo is like waiting to win the lottery...
As the rest have said, FLASH AWAY! Once you start, you'll see how addictive it really is. Try them all. They all have thier own pro's and con's
I sucessfully flashed my phone! I love my phone now, geezes I dont know why i waited sooooo long.
Thanks every1!
Probably going to flash a custom ROM (phoenix 4.1) for the first time this weekend. I currently have the AT&T 2.2 beta flashed from a one-click, but have never gone through the whole process. I have a couple questions.
1. Is the phoenix install instructions on the first page of the discussion in the development section complete? I was browsing through the discussion and some folks said there were some apps missing, like the music player (not that I used the stock one).
2. there are patches listed and it doesn't really say how to apply them. any guidance? rather than page through 700+ pages, is there a summary on how?
3. is there a lagfix in the Phoenix ROM or is it needed for 2.2.1 ROMs at all?

Each rom is done to the Dev's way so yes some remove some apps that they deem junk. Like all the att crapware that is installed. All the fixes are clockwork flashable that I know of. Most were for older versions of the rom. IF you follow the directions in the FAQ you will be fine, Just make sure then after you flash back to stock that you can get into recovery and DL mode with the 3 button combos just in case something goes wrong
cool thanks. looking forward to it.

Hey.
Yesterday I upgraded to 2.2 froyo and then rooted it. I was looking around and began to be interested in modding/themeing my phone. But, i'm unsure if I need to be on a custom rom or if being on the official rom is fine to use.
Thanks
Please Help Me!
I am currently running Firmware 2.2 Baseband Version UCJI6 Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1 Build FROYO.UCJI6. I updated to that with odin3 so my phone hasnt been rooted either. Obviously I want to upgrade my phone to a more recent version of 2.2 but am not sure how to go about it. I tried to update the kb1 that was just released but kies mini will not read my phone. Can anyone please help me. Id really appreciate it. Thanks!

For modding you want an unthemed rom for themeing it doesnt matter.

Alright, sweet. I'll probably just stick with theming then. I'm pretty satisfied with official froyo, so i don't really want to go through the hassle of flashing a custom rom onto my phone just for a mod.
And i'm just gonna ignore the other guy's comment, lol.
