Default looking for A 2.2 froyo rom , odin flashable

Guys need some help here,

I have a vibrant and there has been times that I have flashed a 2.2 froyo rom to repair the data partition on my internal sd card from a bad flash when a lag fix is applied.
I talked a friend into getting a captivate because he loved my vibrant so much. I had him running a stock rom, with unhelpful lax fix kernel and everything ewas gravy for two days until today. he said he got a sd card error, and the phone wont boot past the galaxy s logo, I tried one click odin from this forum, now the phone wont boot past the att logo, because it fails to wipe the data partition.

Can we use the vibrant fix for the captivate? I could try to lash that froyo thru odin and see if it helps, the phone doesnt need to boot up, I just need to flash and wipe the internal sd tru odin. any suggestions

Thanks in advance

Have you tried flashing in the plain voodoo kernel (atinms thread is around here somewhere) to see if you can get the thing to boot at least?

I have already tried to odin to stock, which didnt work and I knew that. The problem is I cant disable the lag fix, because the phone wont boot all the way up.

What we did in the vibrant forums was to flash a 2.2 thru odin. ( it automatically wipes internal sd and formats it back to original state.) then flash stock reroot and we are all happy again.

Is there anything like this for the captivate?

Unless i am missing something, which I could very well be flashing a kernel wont help the data partition problem will it?

what if you took the stock firmware from samfirmware.com and did a normal odin flash with the repartition selected?
I'm a noob but that seemed like a logical thing to try.

That doesn't really answer my question... I asked if you had tried booting it again with a plain voodoo kernel. Obviously the full flash didn't work for some reason, and now your internal SD isn't being detected... which is strange. You could conceivably try flashing pretty much anything you've used on the vibrant though to see if that helps.

Did you do the Master Clear before flashing with Odin?

you can master clear with the one click odin. Its the big button to the right of start that says master clear

I tried 3 times, It just hangs. I think the internal sd got unmounted somehow.

You have to have the phone booted and in USB Debug mode for the odin master clear to work, this person can't get the phone to boot. Is there another way to put the phone in USB Debug mode when it will not boot?
