Dumb question I upgraded to froyo, if I factory reset will it revert to 2.1 or froyo?

Sorry for dumb question... I upgraded galaxy s to froyo. I'm curious if I perform a reset will it retain froyo or go back to eclair?

Of course you'll stay at Froyo, not Eclair.
Thank you!

it would be AWESOME if we could go back to 2.1 that easily
then all our flashing and bricking problems would be gone

Look at this thread and see the section "Gingerbread update and how to go back to stock safely"
Short answer: Yes, Odin3 One-Click will restore the bootloaders. Be careful.

Use Odin one click NOTHING ELSE. Googled for it last night. Top result was a captivate thread. Went back to 2.1, then did one click root and when I got to cwm I installed cognition rom. So much smoother! Ill wait for official GB whenever that may be.

I want to revert back to froyo as well so I can get ext4.
This is not supported on gingerbread.
You need ext4 to support spacemoose1's honeycomb port.
I have gone back to froyo from stock gingerbread with overcome just for comparison purposes and now back again to gingerbread stock.
Just make sure that you take care to patch the froyo bootloader....

No problems if you move back to froyo using stock rom. I did it twice.

Hello, I have only been on Gingerbread 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 on this galaxy S, but would like to try froyo, as miss it from my HTC Hero days, so, whats the best froyo rom? and is it easy enough to flash/flash back?
Thanks for your help

Just use Odin and flash a froyo rom first because you need the bootloaders

Just wondering why are you missing froyo! Gingerbread has way better results. btw Darky's 9.5 is a good one.
