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.

[Q] If upgrade unlocked Samsung vibrant to froyo 2.2, will it lock the phone again?

Update for Samsung vibrant is available for t-mobile using kies. If upgrade unlocked Samsung vibrant using kies to froyo 2.2, will it lock the phone again?
No, it will not.
I have recently done the same thing.
I am using my Vibrant on AT&T as we speak with stock 2.2
I would still recommending using a custom rom though, I am testing stock and it has occasional lag spikes, which I cannot explain. And I have not found a reliable lag fix for stock 2.2 yet.
#mytwocents
Yes I agree with whoever is above me.
Stock shouldn't mess anything like that up, but there is a possibility. I would recommend using a custom rom also.
As a noob what would you recommend as a decent safe custom ROM?

[Q] Samsung Epic flashed to Boost... 2.2?

My Epic is flashed and working on Boost. I was told that if I upgrade to 2.2/ Froyo it would mess up the flash. I was told only OTA update would work. Does anybody know if this is true? If not, how can I upgrade to Froyo?

[Q] Suggestion on upgrading ROM from Froyo

Hello,
I would like to run a custom ROM for my Rogers Froyo 2.2 Samsung Galaxy S Captivate.
I have already rooted, printed Rogers APN settings and backed up using TitaniumBackup, but want to know the best way to update to Mosaic V.
Perhaps there are other Rogers users(I'm in Toronto area) that prefer other ROM's...I would love to hear your suggestions.
I'm mainly looking for reliable GPS, faster response and stable.
I appreciate any help.
thanks!
Martin
well I'm not sure what differences there are between rogers and att captivate, but once I rooted and backed up I just rebooted into CWM and install whichever rom I downloaded to my phone. I'm using CM7, the RC that just came out.
