Okay i know im going to get screamed at but im tired of looking for it in the threads. I downloaded a custom rom to my phone...it's nice. but now i want to flash a back to froyo 2.2, i have the odine one click and i can flash back pretty easy. But the only thing is, if i flash back to 2.2 i won't have full marke access. Is there anyway to flash back to 2.2 and still have full market access, yes my phone is rooted, i just need to know how to get full marked access on 2.2 Froyo. Sorry guys...don't kill me...

Which Froyo 2.2 do you want? One click Odin gets you 2.1. For 2.2 there were a couple of beta releases and then all custom Roms.
I am sorry you are tired of looking, but you really should spend the time to understand how all the pieces fit together. In the limited info you have provided there are way to many "in this case" scenarios.

there is also a oneclick odin for 2.2 JI6
where is this 2.2 odin?
All the Android 2.2 ROMs for the Captivate are "custom ROMs" as 2.2 hasn't actually been released for the Captivate yet. The custom 2.2 ROMs are all either based on unfinished leaked "beta" code or 2.2 for other hardware that's been hacked-up to try and work as best it can on the Captivate.
The Captivate comes with Android 2.1... perhaps that's what you meant?

2.2 hasn't been released in US market yet. But everywhere else, 2.2 is officially released. So the question is where on earth is the OP located.

So, I've heard the Official 2.2 Froyo is out in Europe and should come to the US in late November sometime. If I update the Captivate to the leaked Froyo and whenever the official one comes around, would I be able to replace that with the official one?
Theoretically you should be able to flash back to stock then update to froyo via whatever system samsung uses to do it. However some have experienced problems downloading OTA updates after flashing.
Either way I would not worry because it will be posted here, and you'll be given instructions on how to get it to work if you have issues getting it directly from at&t/samsung. This forum is full of great devs and people who do great things so I would flash away if I were you.
Six dozen people have asked this question. If you want an in depth answer use the search button.
Long story short you should be fine if you flash back to stock before updating but there is no way to know for sure until it is released.

Should I root my phone first before upgrading to 2.2 or upgrade first then root?
If you're talking about the Over The Air (OTA) update that was announced, you should only upgrade with that if you don't want to root or customize anymore. For the moment, that OTA will take away root if you have it and you won't be able to get it back (for now).
If you're talking about upgrading to 2.2 using one of the ROMs posted here on XDA, then you need to root your phone in order to have the option to flash one of those onto your Aria.

Thanks that was very helpful! I'm going to root first them upgrade with one of the 2.2 ROMs here. I didn't know an OTA 2.2 update was out for the Aria already.
Well, it is and it isn't... it's available for non-branded Arias. AT&T hasn't released their version of the 2.2 update for the Aria, but when they do it will break your root access if you install it. At least temporarily. There's really no reason to use the official updates unless you need to return your Aria for some reason. Otherwise, you'll have more features using the custom ROMs here.
With the 2.2 upgrade for the Aria, were there any advancements on Adobe Flash?

No since this is an HTC Sense ROM, it still uses HTC Flash Lite just like the original ROM did. The Aria processor is not currently supported by Adobe Flash 10.x.
ok so I got a question. I have an ATT aria can I get the HTC 2.2 rom on my phone and then root my phone?
No, at the moment you can't. If you install the HTC OTA update you will lose root and be unable to get it back until one of the devs figures it out again. There are, however, plenty of Froyo ROMs to choose from, so you really don't need the HTC update to get 2.2.
Edit: Nevermind, looks like I spoke too soon. See this thread:

Thanks I have the Liberated rom on my phone right now. I'm just looking for a 2.2 Froyo that has the full bluetooth dialer support.

What's the best ROM out there right now? Which one would you recommend?

Currently, the two Froyo (Android 2.2) contenders for the Aria are CyanogenMod 6.1 and Liberated FR008.
Cyanogen offers a more unedited Android product with access to all sorts of settings and customization options. Liberated is more of a stock HTC Sense version of Android. Both ROMs are pretty much the creation of XDA member Attn1 who spends a ton of time developing for the Aria and here on the boards answerings questions.
The cool thing is that once you have rooted your Aria and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery, you can make a Nandroid back-up which will save your current setup along with all of your settings so that you can freely install these ROMs knowing that you can always safely return to your back-up if you don't like it. It's very... liberating!
Is anyone working on making the recently released for Canadians Sammy Froyo ROMs rooted and repackaged (without bloatware and ready to flash from clockwork) available for AT&T Captivate owners?
already exists but im not sure if either is an official version. we have a telus t959 rom in perception 9.x
there are also a couple bell i9000m jk3 roms including earlier versions of perception. i dont think a jk4 rom has been cooked up but the original is there.
the latest telus rom should work with just a kernel or maybe even using the button remapper app in the market.
kernels are available in the dev section.
Perception/Cognition != Samsung Froyo.
I'd prefer to keep my phone as close to stock as possible, I'll take any Captivate-adapted Samsung ROM without bloatware, even if I'd have to re-root it.
So I'm guessing everyone is into customizing and nobody is looking into getting stock roms for Captivates?

I actually prefer the stock roms for the captivate. I used to flash new roms every couple of days, but really I found one thing or another I didn't like about them.
So here's to hoping our official froyo is not far off.

Same here.............last night I decided to flash the Froyo Leak from DG, root and sideload it. I forgot how great the battery life was on my phone with AT&T ROM's. Moderate use and I was at 62% with 16 hours use.
Now if I could just find the stock lock that will work for JI6 and some more minors tweaks.
I updated to froyo 2.2 (leaked version) on my samsung captivate, and I was wondering if there was a possible way to downgrade back to 2.1.
*The only reason im not liking froyo 2.2 at the moment i cant seem to learn our find out how to root it...
Wanted to root to rom a custom rom?
"noobie question"--> if i was to downgrade to 2.2 back to stock 2.1 and root it to have super user, i could then be able to install a custom rom? OR what would other people suggest doing?
Could someone point me in the right way with a link or two maybe, or some suggestions?
Hello all
I'm new at this forum and new at all the galaxy stuff
I have Samsung galaxy S II, 2.3.3
I want to put a good rom, I need to upgrade to 2.3.4?
or i can leave it 2.3.3 with a good rom?
Ty
Your very lucky to have one.
I've always believed before you flash a new ROM you should ask yourself "What is wrong with the ROM I have". If that answer to that is nothing, you should probably leave it alone (My 2 cents).

It's up to you. If you wish to get the most out of your phone (although it is already a beast of a device), then you could root it and try out new roms. Here's a suggestion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274 .
If you plan to install the custom ROM or root, I advice not to upgrade to 2.3.4, I was told Android 2.3.4 is hard to root.

That's a lie.
When I tried it, Gingerbreak does not work on 2.3.4 but that was when 2.3.4 was just released. Now, I have seen many successful rooting on 2.3.4, should have checked before I post.
