Hello fellow samsung users i needed help to figure out how can i go back to android 2.1 factory settings when i got the phone. I am currently using the beta version 2.2 XJP2 kernel 2.6.32.9 build Master 332 test keys 332.
There are a lot of issues while running this version, too much lagging, the device hangs up and restarts.. any help is appreciated.
I had froyo 2.2 jph installed trough kyes and went back to stock jm8 by flashing it trough odin. Then installed over tayutama rom. Cleared cache and data at first boot. I hope it helps.

ok, so i downloaded a stock froyo Rom i897ucji6-ocd-rev02 low, and the son of a gun works perfectly. Problem, i want to flash a custom rom from cognition but the instructions say to flash back to your stock rom which for me would be 2.1.1 becasue i have a samsung captivate from att, i cannot get back to 2.1.1, tried using odin master clear nothing changed, could the reason i cannot get back to 2.1.1 is because i deleted the att bloatware? and is there a download that will bring my phone back to 2.1.1? if not i can live with the froyo 2.2 stock. and one more thing Please can some all knowing developer create a program (app) to allow the att captivate (god love em) download after market apps.

Master clear does not bring you back to stock. You are using the wrong aspect of the odin program

Hello,
I have a unlocked and rooted Captivate. Recently in installed OCLF Lag Fix and did "OneClickLagFix V2+". It is safe to update to android 2.2 from 2.1? If yes, then what is the best way?
Thanks in advance.
Just disable lagfix and flash any custom 2.2 ROM you want inside CWM.

Thansk for the reply. I will do it tomorrow. I am new to android, I hope all goes well. Will update my results.
OCLF is so 2k10

Don't forget to remove the ext2 tools after disabling lagfix.

The only time my phone has ever been on lagfix is when the ROM I flash comes with it. I really don't see any difference at all in performance with or without it. The only reason I'm not on GB is because I had TONS of problems with apps working and got fed up with it. If my signature still says KF1 then its old. I'm on XDA app so I can't tell.
Hello All, Finally I updated my Captiavte with Andriod 2.2 few days ago. I was not able to do that before because of some issues."
I un-lagfix my mobile and used Odin3 v1.0 to flash "I897UCKB1-homeBinary.tar ROM...
I feel now that my mobile is slower then before... But got some new features.
Can anyone tell me difference between "I897UCKB1-homeBinary.tar" and ''I896UXJL1-stock"?

Hello All,

Many flavors of 2.3, just be sure to read the installation instructions and understand GB bootloaders before trying.
2.1 to 2.2 to Black Screen to Semi brick to Working Captivate...
Hello All,
I had some heck of the experiences in last 2 weeks which I would like to share.
-> I had successfully updated my captivate from Android 2.1 to 2.2. Using "I897UCKB1-homeBinary.tar" ROM from BriefMobile site. After this update my three button combo for entering recovery mode stopped working. I could only go into downloading and recovery mode by using Android SDK.
-> And as written in my earlier post, I felt that speed is slow so i "lagfix"-ed it. This gave very good results and all was working fine...
-> Until one day... I was installing blik calendar widget after downloading it from site(I don't remember link now)... This installation never ended, it was continuing even after 15 mins so I used Task Killer to kill the installation... After that it became very slow... I restarted the mobile and what the hell!!!! mobile was stuck at boot screen... Mobile was stuck at "S" logo.
-> I tried all the combos I could find on net to enter into downloading mode but none work. Computer was not recognizing captivate while it was stuck as S logo.
-> After few days I used USB JIG method to bring my captivate into downloading mode.
-> Tried to flash earlier installed ROM "I897UCKB1" via Odin 3. It was successful but now after boot animation I was getting black screen. Lights on button were glowing on pressing and mobile was vibrating but ... It was in useless state.
-> Tried to flash "I896UXJI2" ROM, same condition as above.
-> Then I tried to Flash "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.zip" downloaded from xda... with repartition option checked. It stucked in between and i had to remove battery.
-> Now mobile was in Semi Brick state.
-> All this time mobile was "lagfix"
-> Then somehow I got back my captivate using :

-> Now captivate is working find but still 3 button combo is not working...
Which ROM should I use now to upgrade to for 2.2?
Is custom ROM better? Cognition !!!
Should I install ClockworkMod Recovery?

First, if you are at stock 2.1 eclair, you can use the 3-button odin one-click. As long as you have the eclair/froyo bootloaders, that will work properly. But for the love of all that is sacred and captivatible, make 100000000% sure you have the proper bootloaders first. Flash back to stock eclair if necessary to make sure of this. I cannot stress this enough. If you do not have the eclair/froyo bootloaders in place before using the 3-button fix, you will murder your phone. It will die, and you will most likely have to pay real money to get it fixed. Make sure you have the eclair/froyo bootloaders before using the 3-button fix.
(Sorry. I just wanted to make sure that you avoid an all-too-common issue on the board.)
What may be a better option for you would be to upgrade to Gingerbread. Part of that upgrade process will flash the GB bootloaders, which will automatically have your button combinations fixed.
In either case, there is some level of bootloader flashing involved, which does mean some level of risk - make sure to read up on it thoroughly before you do anything.
And custom roms, in my opinion, are always better than stock. Clockworkmod Recovery is something you'll definitely want to have (and is usually included in the kernels that you'll flash along with custom rom upgrades).

There are several roms that I897 GB based right now.
Like Atomic Fusion 1.5 and Cog v2, both are awesome roms.
Both will be developed even further, when source comes out! (The Official 2.3 update from ATT)

I have a SGH-T849 Tmobile Galaxy Tab, I stupidly tried to use Heimdall and a recovery zimage file from a old post about flashing clockwork mod recovery on my tab. Needless to say my tab is now stuck at Tmobile Screen. I have searched EVERYWHERE for a non dead link for a stock TMOBILE Froyo 2.2 factory rom. I can get into Download mode and Odin recognizes it. Samsung Kies does not connect. If anybody has the stock 2.2 Tmo rom, I would be forever greatful. I would flash other roms but I dont want to loose my 3G and it is also unlocked.
Thanks
Don't need stock rom.
