Default [Q] Updating to Official Froyo Problem

I've been having many problems with updating my Captivate to Froyo using Samsungs' Kies Mini. I'm up to the point in where it downloads the new firmware, then when it's done it says that it cant be upgraded. My phone isn't rooted and I used Odin to return back to stock. Any ideas?

Check to make sure that usb debugging is enabled I just had the same problem and that fixed it

Tried it, but still didn't work.

Edit:
Just thought I throw this out there, mounting it while in debugging mode doesn't work either.

You need to be in download mode at that point.

connect USB to Computer
remove battery from phone
replace battery
hold down both volume buttons
insert micro USB into phone

*Download Mode!*

Hope that helps.

I dont think you have to go into download mode. Kies doesn't recognize it.

The thing is when it's done downloading the update, it says that my phone cant be updated and to take out the battery, put it back in, and try again.

Hi:
I was wondering if there is anywhere that the update can be downloaded and then installed through Clockwork.
Thanks!
