HELP! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to find a way to flash 2.1 eclair on my factory stock 2.2 captivate. I called att for a replacement on my old one a few months ago because my power button was broken and they sent me this new one, with 2.2 as stock firmware (JI6) and whenever I use odin one click it sends me into a bootloop. My build number is 1105. I've searched and I can't find anyone else with this problem. Is this possible? Please help me someone!

jf6 is stock. You should be fine. If you want you should be able to use kies mini to update to jh7.

Trick kies about captivate model number

Hi,
I have an I897 from at&t but I'm in canada on rogers. Rogers came out with official 2.2 yesterday.
When I try to update using samsung kies it tells me my device uss not supported. Rogers model is I896.
Is there a way to trick kies so I can get the official rogers 2.2?

Does your phone have a software update option in the settings menu? The AT&T Captivate does (not that it does anything for us ).
Ya it does but using it tries to connect to at & t server.
I installed the leaked 2.2 but it's also an at&t flavor.
Trying to find a way to get the official rogers version

Im looking at doing the same thing too, the question I have is if I use Odin to flash back to My original will that Lock my phone again?
I would like to flash back to my original rom then to Rogers Froyo, but My phone is unlocked and I dont want to Lock it again. ANY Suggestions on how to do this?

Replacement captivate from ATT?

Anyone got a replacement captivate from ATT lately?
I know they are coming with 2.2 but are the batches random (10XX)? Also, do recover and download mode work for them - they should on 2.2 right (but use original odin with 3 button fix just in case)?
I just received a replacement last week. Came with 2.1update. Batch 1009. 1010 I sent back. Using FireFly 2.3 now.

Thanks. Was it JF6 with working recovery?
I'm going to request a replacement I think, but if i can't downgrade and root, it's pointless.
oops wrong thread... :-/

Firmwares for GT P 1010

Hi folks,
So I managed to brick my Tab last night after too much system tampering and experimenting.
I can still access download mode and recovery so hopefully Odin can sort me out.....................................
BUT.........STUPID ASS ME never made note of the exact firmware that my tab was running!!!! And as now I cant get into the Tabs settings obviously I cant retrieve it!?
Does anyone know the exact firmware number that a UK GTP1010 bought a month ago will be running? Or does anyone have one that they can check for me?
Hey did you get a response to this? I have one and can check,
