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....
Recently Flashed with Gingerbread 2.3.3 stock Rom fully.
Do I need rooting again?
Why I said re-rooting is that I had rooted my previous original Froyo 2.2.1 Rom with success..
If it 2.3.2. stock Rom needs rooting, which is the best way and soft for it ?
Yes, if you upgraded from 2.2.1 then 2.3.3 will need to be rooted again. There are several kernels that you can flash via ODIN that will root 2.3.3. Check in the ROM Kitchen beta or in this thread for kernels by Chainfire, SuperCurio and DamienGTO.
Remember that 2.3.3 is still a work in progress so read, READ, READ before you do anything.
Ths.
I found out this is the solution.

Can anyone provide me a link or hook me up with the update file for Android 2.2 OS? I've searched and have not been able to find it... and Google doesn't seem to make it available.
Gingerbread is glitchy on my phone and rooting it has not resolved the issues (camera won't work, black screen locks me out of phone randomly or post phone call), so I would like to revert back to Froyo 2.2 to see if that fixes everything as I'm fairly confident, I didn't have these issues while running 2.2
Below are the details of my phone and what I'm currently running. Would I have to wipe the phone, install 2.2 then flash cynogen 7 again or can I manually install 2.2 and Cynogen will remain intact?
I just really need to find the Androis 2.2 OS file.
I appreciate the help.
Thank you in advance

How about looking in the wiki, under ROMs?
also arent the stock ROMs available in ROM manager? i believe they are, so just load up stock 2.2 from there. if not, cyan 6.1.1 is in ROM manager, and it was the epitome of froyo stability smoothness with tons of features on top of it.
I had many roms but my wife doesn't allow me to play more with my phone so i wanted to get stock rom back but i wanted 2.3.6 and i downloaded stock 2.3.6 android but when i finish it's 2.3.3 and when i go into recovery this appears can't access to '/system/csc/xeu/system/' can some one help me???
my friend owns a i9001 phone and it is stuck on froyo 2.2
is there anyway to root this versions I9000JHJIP6
because i want to do a backup of the apps and stuff
Just let him update to 2.3.6 via kies then follow the tut on the wiki.
It's weird, S Plus comes in gingerbread , not froyo
