Yes, though it's still recommended that you wipe system
With rom manager or sbf? Thanks

That all depends. Have you gotten the OTA yet? If you are still on baseband 01.09.05P and Version 2.2.20 from verizon then yes, you can SBF. If you have gotten the OTA and are on baseband 01.09.07P and 2.30.20 from verizon, then no, you have to wait for the new SBF. The OTA changed both the mbmloader and the bootloader and you will end up with a brick of you sbf with the 2.2.20 file after the OTA
ok, i have the BP_C_01.09.07P baseband, can i still SBF? or does it only break the ability to SBF after installing Fission 2.0?
i currently have fission 1.2.1 ROM.

you cannot SBF on that baseband
Sorry for asking:
- I'd never done an OTA upgrade, my baseband BP_C_01.09.05P
- I'd rooted my D2 with easier1-2-3 by darkonion
- Now i'm on fission 1.2.1
So, what should i do to install Fission 2.0?
Thanks in advance

I was in your situation, what i've done so far is SFB'ed my DROID2 to stock and i'm currently waiting for the OTA to popup on my device and then after that installs im going to reroot with the same method you used and install fission 2.0 like i did before.

The instruction said that:
"If you have the latest OTA update then I suggest you do not install this ROM in the case something goes wrong you will be stuck with a brick."
So why are you waiting for the OTA and install it?

So, can i SBF'ed my D2, and flashing Fission 2.0 without waiting for OTA update? (Cause maybe need a time to wait for OTA popup)
So can anybody clarify the "do i need to sbf" question?
Yes, I def read the instructions which say you should, but I have still never had to sbf my d2, and I'm just wondering what am I risking, or possible to have problems with if I don't SBF?
Just seems reeeeallly above and beyond as wiping data sucks enough already.
Anyway, thanks for the continued releases, I can't remember the last time I had the same build of a rom on my phone for more than 48 hours lol.

angdroid said 2.0 would work with or without the new update (kernel / baseband), however if you do get the OTA update you cannot SBF if you get stuck until it is released over @ mydroidworld. As long as you have the older baseband and kernal you can SBF your D2

As with anything, it is not required. We will not offer support for the ROM however, unless the steps listed in the first post were taken. There are many user caused issues simply because the phone has been modified and we do not know to what point it has. The steps listed for the install restore the phone to factory settings, thus giving us a starting point. This also will allow us to isolate bugs and help to eliminate user error.
can anyone direct me to the easiest and safest way to get froyo... I have been reading but i can't seem to find anything that isnt super complicated. all i have done to my phone is root and lagfix. just need an arrow to point me in the right direction. thanks

STEP 2: Make sure you are rooted
STEP 3: Install ClockWork Recovery
STEP 4: Download either Assonance or Cognition
STEP 5: Put the ".zip" file on the root directory of your phone

Nothing...I just didn't want to offer a 20 page list of equally good ROMs so I used the ones I have tried.
After months of waiting and finally getting over my fears of flashing, I rooted and flashed the stock 2.2 rom to my captivate today!
my opinion, just use the stock 2.2. it's frickin amazing. I'm thrilled and can't believe it took this long for me to build up the courage to flash. from the gps working to the beautiful text to speech ( which I'm using to write this even as we speak..lol); I can't get over how much I love this.
So, use the odin flasher and have fun!
Many thanks to all the developers on XDA who worked so hard to get 2.2 out all of us!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
How do i use odin? Do you have a link?
I can't speak in regard to other ROMs as I have only tried working with Cognition.
The thing is, if you can handle the complexities of Lagfix, installing Cognition is a piece of cake. The instructions that nbs11 posted are pretty much it, except that you should disable whatever lagfix you used before you do it, and use Android ID changer to back up your Android ID. As far as Odin goes, you only need it if:
1. You really like your phone to be clean before you upgrade
2. Something goes wrong.
I panicked the first time something went wrong. I should tell you my story. I forgot to use Android ID changer, and also forgot to copy the data from a few other things from my original Eclair build. So, I went back to one of my backups. I didn't realize that the backup didn;t include the kernel, so the rolled-back phone no longer booted. Odin to the rescue. It flashed an idiot-proof stock version, then I used ROM manager to get to my backed-up data, re-flashed with Odin, and ran the Cognition backup. It all worked fine.
TL;DR. You just need ROM Manager and a little planning, and Odin will bail you out in the off chance you screw something up.
Someone who likes setting up a phone less than I do should make a back-up checklist.
Oh, and here's a link to everything you need to know about Odin:

I'm officially changing my mind. I've been using Cognition 3.04 now for about a week. I've not run into ANY issues. In the first week of using the leaked "official" 2.2 release, I'd already run into a few minor bugs, then over the course of a month, ended up with a fun that was stuck in a reboot loop...totally random issue, nothing had changed on the phone, it just went nutz on me.
I flashed to Cognition and am absolutely LOVING it!!! If you're going to flash a ROM, skip the "official" leaked 2.2 and go for Cognition. It's great! Smooth, fast, and without bloatware.
I do have to admit, yes I know I'll catch some flak for it, but I do miss the Samsung Media Hub (Cognition has it removed as Bloatware). Other than that....no issues at all!
Has anyone used these methods on a Rogers Captivate (I897)?

So... I heard that AT&t will be updating phones to Froyo tomorrow Feb 24th. How would I go about removing the beta samsung rom I installed back in October? or should I just wait till the new rom hits the web and apply that?
Obviously I'm pretty new to all this.
Someone will package it into a cwm .zip for people who love bloat and such.
Sent from my Captivate.
That was not a beta. It was a leaked ROM that devs in here used as a base. You will need to Odin back to stock, but there's some confusion right now as to whether the Froyo release tomorrow will be OTA or via Kies. If it is OTA and you do an Odin you will not be able to get it. I would wait right now and start reading up on the process before you do something that might brick your phone. Start with the tutorials in the Stickies at the top of this forum.

ROMs can not be uninstalled. You have to flash a new ROM. You have two choices:
1. Use the leaked UCKB1, by all means this seems to be the official release tomorrow, and flash it using ODIN3. Make sure you do a factory reset afterwards.
2. Use the ODIN OneClick to flash back to orginal JF6 stock firmware and wait for official release to upgrade.
Any word on if there will be an Odin One Click for the official Froyo 2.2 KB1? If so, will it be able to incorporate the ability to recieve OTA updates? I've looked in many obvious threads including, the development section as well as the Odin One Click thread.
Doesn't KB1 come with a newer recovery that needs to be downgraded regardless? So why not just flash back to JF6?

Any more updates, I wouldn't hold my breath, won't be OTA. AT&T learned it's lesson with the JH7 fiasco.
You can just use Odin3 to get back to JF6, then reinstall the Froyo update via Kies. Done it a half dozen times already.
I am aware that I could flash back to jf6 and go from there. Just curious if odin would make a kb1 is all. I agree, hopefully att learned from ota update fiasco. When I first got my captivate, I was shocked to see that samsung didn't provide a desktop software cd that would allow your pc to download and push updates similarly with blackberrys and the blackberry manager software or iphone with itunes. For that reason alone is why i found myself on xda trying to find out how to update. I now know that is what the samsung lies is for. But that could still be provided with the phone for the average end users who don't rom their phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
ODIN ONE CLICK (and ODIN3) are utilities made by Samsung, and how it was compiled is unknown, SO.. it cannot be "torn apart" and redone with froyo.
however there are some automated systems out, HEIMDALL and the new Captivate toolbox using HEIMDALL, may come out with easy froyo flashes,
and dont forget about froyo's 3e recovery, updated rooting, updated unlock, ect... it just adds more things to do to load a new custom rom..
so unless you want to flash froyo stock and leave it there, there isnt much point.
I am keeping a copy of the stock froyo firmware in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963403 Just in case I need to send it back. I have used Heimdall to flash it a couple of times so far.

Wait, so I can just flash that prior to sending my phone to ATT as opposed to odin to JF6 then Kies to KB1?
Something like this would definitely be handy.

Maybe, :-/
It depends on what you end up with when you flash it... as there are only the four (cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin and zImage) files in there. if the rom you flashed has other stuff that won't get over written I guess you might ind up with some sort of Franken ROM and worst case a brick. If you arn't sure what you have done to or have on your phone then I guess you ask in your roms help thread what is the approved method of returning to stock from their rom... some have various lagfixes and such that can require a specific procedure.
Even Odin leaves behind remnants of things from your previous usage. I just sent two phones back and had to Odin both. I then did master clear and still there was some stuff left that I had to delete manually. I doubt AT$T has the manpower or time to go through every returned phone looking for custom ROM remnants. To insulate them from any claims of having access to a customer's private information that may have been left on the phone by a less tech savvy user, they probably just wipe them when they get them or toss them in a bin to be used as repair parts.
NOTE: this is from 2.3.6 to stock 2.3.5. NOTHING RELATED TO ICS DOWNGRADE.
I hope my experience on reverting back to stock 2.3.5/2.3.6 can help other people with similar problem.
I was running Romulus V2.0 (Android 2.3.6). I wanted to update to Leaked ICS or prepare for future ICS official update. So I need to revert back to stock 2.3.6.
The method Jim suggested is (1) FXZ to 2.3.5. (2) OTA to 2.3.6. But when I use RSD to flash 2.3.5 FXZ (precisely following the beginner's guide, download InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.zip and replace files in "replace.zip"), I get "Invalid CG version". My next try is to follow the guide in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493386, and my phone is alive again. However, I cannot do a factory reset, so I still cannot go back to stock 2.3.6.
After a lot of searching, I was able to find another "replacement package". Its linke is http://www.mediafire.com/?3bs8ovqteawab02, named "replaceFilesInFXZ.zip". I replaced files in InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.zip with files in this package. My phone boots without problem and is on stock 2.3.5. I also have OTAed to 2.3.6.
I think this could be helpful for those that want to revert back to stock 2.3.5/2.3.6, and be able to update to ICS. If you are on 2.3.6, I think it is safe to take a try, since there is no hard brick problem as long as you do not flash ICS leak.
---------------------------
I was thinking why some people can FXZ 2.3.5 following the beginner's guide but some people cannot. One possible case could be (please correct me if I am wrong):
I was on stock 2.3.5, but has never OTAed to 2.3.6. I was always using bootstrap recovery to flash other's customized 2.3.6 rom. Therefore, some files such as CDT.bin, boot.img, recovery.img, device_tree.bin and lbl was never updated to 2.3.6 version.
When I follow the beginner's guide, I think this guide assumes that everyone has ever OTAed to 2.3.6 before. So some inconsistency happens.

Did you update to ICS or not? That does not appear to mentioned at all in your post... It just says that you are on 2.3.6 and not ICS... that really does not help all here if that is the case... those bricking have ALL installed the AT&T ICS leak, and tried to fxz back to 2.3.5...
So.... I am sure that what you mention does not really do any good since you appear to NEVER have installed the OTA ICS leak for AT&T, this really does not help...

Dude, The invalid cg fix is the sticky, and it works perfect for this issue. Again this phone has been out over 10 months now, and we have seen it all. Please just sit back and watch things around here for a while before you jump in and just muddy the waters... it is already hard enough to keep people from doing stupid things, that we are expected to fix.
