I recently just flashed a new rom and I had realized I never tried the stock 2.2 from samsung and I was wondering what people thought of it and if they were still able to flash other roms or use odin to go back to stock 2.1 and then flash other roms again. Or does updating to 2.2 mess up some of that?
And is it even worth it to try and check it out?
I am running serendipity and my wife has stock. I would not go back to stock if att were to pay me. Her Gps was messed up, bad battery life and other strange issues.

the only thing 2.2 may mess up for flashing roms is it installs 3e recovery which needs signed update.zip packages (can be patched ) , and sometimes you need a new root program.
besides that its... stock. with the 2.2 updates...
Has anyone tried reflashing odin or using clockwork/rooting in 2.2?
I'm thinking i'm going to stay away from it at this point but curiosity my get the best of me....

Hey guys I am obivously a beginner, but I read the whole thread about the Froyo Cognition and didn't see a whole lot on this. My questions are as follows:
1) Can I flash Cog 2.2.4 straight over 2.1 with the JH7 update???
I updated to JH7 through the phone striaght from stock and since then I have only rooted and installed the One Click Lag Fix by RyanZA. Most of the posts I saw required many users to revert back to JF6 via Odin, but I wanted to know if I had to or not since I am still on 2.1. I know I will definitely want to uninstall the lag fix before trying to flash. Does anyone wanna chime in and help me out?? Tips or some good instructions for the process would be great!

as u stated....uninstall the lag fix and your good.
most of us who have flashed quite a bit know it's much cleaner, easier and sometimes helps avoid odd errors/FC's by flashing odin one click restore to stock then flashing DG's rom.
it's very easy...forget the lame multi key press sh*t to get into recovery or download mode.
use adb
and if you dont know adb commands
adb reboot download

Okay, so someone with experience would say that if I reverted back to stock with Odin before flashing the Cog rom, I would run into less problems? And when I am uninstalling the lag fix I remove the actual lag fix and the ext2 files right??
I updated to froyo 2.2 (leaked version) on my samsung captivate, and I was wondering if there was a possible way to downgrade back to 2.1 and go to 2.3 cognition? Ive been reading and I cant seem too root my froyo 2.2 samsung captivate, i wanted to be able to install custom roms...
Could someone point me in the right way with a link or two maybe?

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....
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

I have 1007 build, I would have to agree with ^^this^^.
Something might of happened in the flash. Try it again.
Use these specifically.
2.1 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBSMALFJ
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!
Hi everyone' It maybe a stupid question, but i could not find a definite answer. I'm getting my Captivate exchanged due to shutdown problems. Most likely the new one will come with 2.2. If i install custom rom and later want to change it to a different one, can i use Odin to go to 2.1 or i need to go to 2.2? Sorry again if the question is stupid but being a noob i want to make sure not to brick the phone.
Thanks
There are manyy threads that answer this question. Short answer is that going back to stock or flashing a ROM from 2.2 is not as easy as it was on 2.1. There are problems with the new 3e recovery and finding the right Odin to flash with. Do some searches, read some stickies and do your homework. The answers are already in here.

So basically i can't just flush a custom rom over 2.2 and than use Odin to flush to 2.1?
No you can't 3e recovery wont let you flash a rom. Usin Odin flash a kernel that has clockwork mod. Hardcore Speed Mod is good choice, after that you just need to place the rom on your SD card and will be able to flash.
it is still easy. before flashing fix 3e recovery.
dont flash with odin one click to stock (2.1) if going back to stock flash 2.2 with non one click...
Got It. Thanks Everyone for your responces. I'm thinking of keeping my phone and sending the replacement back. I can put up with ocasional shutdown so i can play with custom roms with ease of 2.1. What are the chances of replacement be 2.1?

I actually took my captivate to a warranty store 4 weeks ago, got a new phone and it was on 2.1. Not sure when they send you one through the mail.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Just because new phone has 2.2 doesn't mean you CAN'T flash new roms. It just means you may have 1 or 2 extra steps than before. Just flash it back to 2.1 with odin(not one click), install cwm, and flash away. If a warranty issue comes up, flash back to 2.1, then upgrade to 2.2 through kies.

Go ahead and bring it to stock + update to Froyo.
Also, so it doesn't look so weird, use it for a couple days so there's data and cache lol

lol yeah probably a good idea. although i hate the idea of running it stock for more then 2 minutes
Running it for a few days and adding froyo probably not necessary. I would reformat my phone to stock in order to remove all personal data before i send it in.

i was thinking the same in that most people would factory reset before sending phones in but i was thinkin froyo might be smart because it would be 100% stock then im not sure if our 1 click stock is 100% in their eyes

Idk how much they actually check it - I assume it's kinda random so I wouldn't take any chance.
Odin3 one click does bring it to stock but having Froyo might look better and show that it wasn't just brought back to stock (along with some cache and data).

While we are on the subject, IS there a 1-click for Froyo (stock)? I ask because i've been hearing rumors of it, and i just havent had the time to investigate.
If there WASN'T a 1 click stock (froyo) then disregard my question. However, does that mean the only way to upgrade to Froyo (stock) is through CWM? I know people have been doing it through Kies, but i'm not a big fan.

Idk if there is but tbh it wouldn't be so useful as 2.2 as recovery problem which requires 3e recovery fix so makes flashing more painful.
There's although Odin 1.81 which you can flash Rogers (I896) version of Eclair (duno if there's one for 2.2 - haven't really looked into it as Kies mini works well)

Thanks!
there have been several threads on this
ODIN ONE CLICK (and the other) CAME FROM SAMSUNG
so YES the odin one click is STOCK. ITS WHAT THEY USE to refurb ATT phones.
there has been no ODIN one click 2.2 leaked to the net.
we dont have the source code so we cant update the 2.1
how much do they check your phone? very little. the internal guts to replace at their cost is less than 50$. They have dozens of phones from each different model come in every day. They have about 10 minutes to hook it up to a machine that runs hardware tests for them. then it gets gutted. It is not worth their time to *see* what is on the phone. They only care if it works or not. so they can move to the next phone in the bin.
stock 2.1 is fine if it came with 2.1
2.2 if it came with 2.2. there are CWM 2.2 upgrade flashes available. use rom manager/ the update.zip method of CWM to install 2.2 then delete the update.zip and rom manager app.

Not necessary. Just odin and kies.
I would master clear anyway if I were stock. Just go back to stock, update froyo and that's it.
If he flashes 2.1 (JF6), couldn't he run the software update to get JH7?
