Stock Flash for 2.2.1 handy or link?

I need a stock flash for the latest OTA 2.2.1. I had that on my phone flashed a different ROM and messed around with some different kernals and noticed that now my WIFI stopped working on 4 different roms I tried.
I need the Stock ROM, Stock Kernal and Stock Baseband all in one... or links to them all so I can flash through SPRecovery. I cant even get ROM Manager since I need Wifi to get it.
Many many thanks....
I hope this fixes it..

[Q] Flash to Stock Rom?

Okay, I'm relatively new to Android phones in general, but recently purchased a captivate and absolutely love it. I upgraded to the unofficial leaked version of froyo and am now wanting to try out a custom rom. The issue I'm having is as follows:
I've read that before flashing a custom rom, it is recommended to flash back to the stock rom first. When I tried that, I flashed back to the stock rom (pre OTA update that fixed the 3 buttom recovery mode issue) and was not able to get into recovery mode. I then tried to do the ota update and it kept failing. I then flashed back to the leaked froyo rom via download mode and am basically stuck here. My question is two fold. Does anyone have a link to the stock rom file that has the latest update (I forget the version number) or can I just flash to a new custom rom from the leaked froyo build? Would that build be considered stock?

Don't flash back to stock unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it's pointless and just creates additional opportunities for things to mess up and brick your phone. Wiping your data and cache partitions with CWM recovery should be sufficient for a clean ROM install.
As for the stock ROM you're looking for, it depends on your Captivate. If your phone came with JF6 and working button combos, and is an older build (1009 or older), this should work fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
If your button combos were disabled, either use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439 -OR- the first link followed by installing the OTA update (be careful, as an incomplete OTA update can perma-brick your phone).
If your phone is a build 1010 or came with JH7, the stock ROM you need is JH2. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36

[Q] A way to backup whole stock rom

Hi guys, im new to the sgs, but got some android experience. I was wondering if i can backup the whole ROM/system from my sgs (running 2.2.1 but its kinda branded from my carrier), so that i can flash the latest 2.3.3 or even 2.3.4 with odin and if for any reason i have to take it into warranty, i can reflash (preferably with odin) the stock branded rom that came with my phone. I would really appreciate, if anyone can tell me that, i searched around but couldnt really find this specific question. ive checked the stock ROM thread, and my version is there but im not sure its the branded one, cuz mine says 2011.02 and the one there says december 2010.

As long as you are rooted and have clockwork mod installed you can do a nandroid backup from the recovery menu I believe.
To restore you would have to flash the same base rom though, i.e. any 2.2.1 ROM then let it reboot then root it boot into recovery and restore nandroid backup.
I think that should work.
I'm sure someone wil correct me if I am wrong.
I wish I had done this when I bought by phone from Orange UK branded.
If you find out how to create an odin version please post here for others too.

ok thanks, i flashed the newer version over anyways.. thanks anyways

Is this correct?

I have the same issue and after having mine sent into samsung for a successful repair (with a bunch of arguing and persuasion) I would like to back up this stock rom before continuing in order to avoid that situation again.
Mines a i9000M (bell version )

You always have to hack the ROM a bit to have a backup. Either you flash a custom kernel that'll give you CWM/nandroid backup or you root the ROM so you can do some adb magic.
There are also tons of stock ROMs floating around the interwebs, so with any luck you can find your own stock there.

[Q] I Want to get back to stock rom?

As the title stated i want to get back to samsungs stock rom and kernal so i can upgrade my phone to 2.3 and get my warranty back.
First of all i need to disable the lagfix and the tweaks of course but after that should i flash back to samsungs original kernal or should i flash back to stock rom first?
My kernal version is:[email protected] #14(2.6.32.9)
Rom: I900XXJPY 2.2.1
Dumb question but i can't just upgrade my phone to 2.3 via the phone's self updater. I just want to be sure.

You don't give a ton of detail here. The first step would be to find a stock rom for your device and region (2.2.1, 2.2, 2.3 all would be OK) on samfirmware.com or ramad's collection here on XDA. Then flash with Odin.
Any stock rom that is right for your location should then update to the latest when you connect to kies (or so I hear I don't use Kies..)
It will contain a stock kernel so don't worry about that. Note though that if your phone is really screwed and that is why you are flashing a stock rom for warrenty then a custom rom might boot up but a stock rom may not.
If its just for resale then you should be good to go.

Thanks for the help man.. My phone is not screwed up but i'm starting notice that it is starting to "fall apart". So that's the reason i want my warrenty back.

[Q] New to the GNote world with a question

Just got my Note and am coming from a htc desire. Just trying to get up to speed on the different "lingo" and software for rooting that the device seems to have? can someone give me the coles notes.
Flashing customization
CWM vs Odin
- Whats the basic difference between these two options (only experience is with CWM) when flashing roms, can any update.zip be flashed by either CWM or Odin ?
Terminology
- Im seeing Firmware, ROM and Kernel being thrown around regularly... Kernel and Rom I get but, I haven't heard the term firmware with any flashing on the desire... I'm assuming that the firmware is just the android OS + Samsung customization ?

CWM is flashing a .zip file on your phone in recovery, for custom rom`s/kernel`s
Odin is flashing a .tar file by unzipping a zip file twice from your computer and/or from your phone (mobile odin by chainfire), for samsung firmware
Firmware is mostly used for the firmwareversion like XXKKA or XXKL7 etc.
Update.zip is generally not used.
Never flash custom software (kernel or rom) with Odin from your computer, it initiates the binary flash counter. Will void you warranty when returning your phone to a store for repair!
