Im asking because i saw that the new official update was released and i wanted to get it but when i plug it into kies it says its up to date. The rom im currently on is the leaked version of uclb3. is it exactly the same? or should i revert to stock with gtgs ultimate unbrick and then update via kies? thanks!
You're up to date, as UCLB3 is what Samsung used for the official release.

I flashed FROYO.UCJI6 (i know this is an old ROM received back in october 2010 with some bugs!) using odin one flash method on my samsung captivate which was running JH7 firmware (which I upgraded from at&t out-of-the-box firmware JF6 through samsung kies program). Now, I am planning to downgrade my phone from FROYO.UCJI6 to 2.1 JF6 (i found the 2.1 JF6 firmware executable file online somewhere) through the same odin one flash method. My questions are:
1. After I downgrade from FROYO.UCJI6 to 2.1 JF6 using odin one flash method, can I upgrade it to 2.1 JH7 through samsung kies mini (the latest kies mini program on my windows 7 64 bit computer?
2. After I upgrade to 2.1 JH7, will I be able to upgrade to 2.2 FROYO if that ever becomes available for samsung captivate?
My current 2.2 is way better than that ECLAIR 2.1 JH7 but it is still not official and contains bugs that are annoying sometimes. Can anyone please guide me on this? I am new to the world of xda and I appreciate any help. I am also very new to the world of this whole ROM flashing thing and I consider myself an amateur at best. PLEASE HELP.
Regards,
Antony

The answer is YES. You can keep using Kies Mini to upgrade to the official 2.2 when it is released. I'd stay away from OTA upgrade. And Kies Mini will be faster way to do it anyway since you don't have to wait for your turn from OTA.
If you are willing to flash leaked froyo, why not try a custom rom. Most are already better then what the official froyo release will be, if it ever comes
I'm thinking of rolling back as well. Mainly because I could never get the market fixed with the leaked 2.2. There's a ton of apps I have to side load from my wifes Captivate and it's getting tiresome. Plus my battery life is atrocious with leaked 2.2.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Have one more dumb question. Can I upgrade straight from JF6 to 2.2 through kies? Or do I need to have JH7? I thought any version lower than 2.2 would do. If I am correct then I can keep working with the released froyo and switch to JF6 on the day samsung/at&t release an official froyo update. Please confirm my understanding. Thanks once again

correct ... you always have the option to Odin back to stock ... just download odin and keep it somewhere safe on your computer for a rainy day

Thank you. I will if I don't get to receive an official froyo in a month (an official release is possible given the recent update of kies mini) Now that I have taste for unofficial stuff, if I don't like the official froyo then I will try all the custom ROMs out there.

Thank you for confirming that I can update straight from JF6 to FROYO when / if it becomes officially available to users.

Can someone give me the link where I can get the original stock firmware (JF6 or JH7) for samsung captivate? I flashed my phone with the old leaked version of froyo and planning to get back to out-of-the-box state. Looks like samsung will release an official froyo update soon (this time it was on engadget and pulled later. But I think the release should be sooner). Someone please help me with the link where I can get the factory firmware. Thanks

I'm not sure but I assume if it's stock then you should be able to get GB. It's not OTA, though, you have to use Kies Mini to get it. If you want to do it yourself, though, Raver posted an ODIN version of stock KJ6 in the Dev section.
Even if it was unlocked, it can receive OTA updates. i had KB5 and my phone was unlocked and it wanted to upgrade to kd1 over the air. as stephen said, 2.3.6 is only through kies, though.
Gingerbread is not OTA. You will have to use kies or have clockwork recovery installed and do it that way.
If you are staying stock use kies. How tos for both options are in the development section.

When I was on Nexus S , the ICS 4.0.3 OTA was around 128mb size (sure skyrocket ICS would be bigger), which is big file size for an OTA (I installed it using fastboot and CWM recovery) so when it will come for the skyrocket it would be difficult to do from just the phone itself...

4.0.4 is not ota. Use kies, if you can get it to work, or Odin it.

I have the same problem running the rogers ics rom and can't update to rogers jb.
Do i have to have stock recovery or do i have to update keis to 2.5.2.13021_10?
If a stock recovery is the issue, is there a flashable zip of stock recovery :3
You need a stock recovery for kies to update yes. Sometimes to get it to recognize you need to have kies troubleshoot drivers.

For stock recovery you'd have to odin back to stock rom.

My old thread !!!
Odin all the way...kies is a stupid software
I recently got an S3 and it came with the VRLG1 update already installed. I rooted my phone and then decided to go back to stock and flashed the VRLF2 stock image because it was the only one I could find. My question is does anyone have or know where to get the VRLG1 update from instead of waiting for the OTA.
You want the dumbed down search?
