The NON one-click packages are the result of the hard work of user nzahorchak (spank his Thank-you button)

These are tried tested and true. and with odin 1.5 or newer very stable to flash. ei odin doesnt hang.

This Post contains the files for 2.1- i896UXJI2 AND 2.2 - i896UXJL1 AND 2.3.3 - i896UXKH2 version of this fixed stock ROM.
SGH -i896 wiki - VERY USEFUL INFO if you haven't seen already.
ALL original "stock" flashes for rogers are missing:
dbdata.rls - if you used pit, you screwed yourself.
i896 -boot-screen replacement. - if you flashed ATT stock, you got stuck with "world phone" boot-screen.
we have a COMPLETE Odin flash-able 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.3 Rogers stock ROMS that will:
have NO dbdata / mounting error on reboot when using pit/re-partition in Odin
REMOVES ATT boot logo !!!!! yeah the first one! AND NOT WITH THE RENAME PICTURE TRICK
FULLY WARRANTY PASSABLE (root locked, but will not undo SIM lock but you will have backup files for that.)
1 minor issue - some users claimed to not have APN settings after flashing. Apn settings let you connect to the internet and send MMS messages on your phone. if you need them.... APN Settings HERE
the 2.1 is named Toronto because that's where nzahorchak is from, and not to cause confusion because the zip file is 145mb and had the same original name and size of THE STOCK ROM that screwed so many of us! all the files in the .tar are different.

========================================
INSTRUCTIONS - for those who might need them.
Download and install " APN Backup and Restore " from market and backup APN settings.
Unzip files to one location
Boot phone into download mode. (Powered OFF, hold VOL UP & DN, plug in USB)
Open Odin3 1.xx flashing utility (NOT ODIN3 ONE CLICK RESTORE TO STOCK)
Use the ROM.tar file from the stock ROM .zip in PDA box of ODIN
**Use the 512 .pit file that came with odin3 and check re-partition and check auto-reboot. PIT FILE IS A MUST IF YOU HAVE FLASHED ANY CM7 ROM!!!!! If NOT , pit should NOT be needed.
Click start.
Download " APN Backup and Restore " and Restore APN settings.
IF the phone gets stuck at the Rogers boot logo and does not fully boot, re-boot into stock recovery, select "erase user data" + "erase cache data", re-boot. BE PATIENT before you assume this has happened to you!!15 minutes at least. First kernel or ROM boot ALWAYS takes a while! I personally have never had to do this!
Some people claim you must plug in the USB after starting Odin, i had no issues both ways. If the box turns YELLOW, and your files are selected, you are good to go. USB Cable must be plugged into Computer though (yes i was asked)
I generally flash with my sim and SD card removed, it is not necessary but the SD card did cause me to hang in one situation before, so i just always remove it to be safe.
pit file is included in Odin packages attached below
Any of the odin3s below will work. 1.81 and up now has bootloader option though we dont use that option yet, but it is more stable. Newer is Better!
2.3.3 STOCK! from rogers no changes. DO NOT USE .PIT FILE WITH THIS STOCK! if you need to repartition use 2.2 with pit file then upgrade to 2.3.3 with NO PIT FILE!!!
ALSO, IT CONTAINS BOOTLOADERS!! necessary to upgrade to gingerbread!
this is THE FILE keis used.
The rom below will NOT fix an ATT bootscreen issue, rogers did not change their params.lfs partition so it is not in the rogers keis update. To FIX ATT Bootscreen flash THIS FILE in odin PDA box before or after 2.3.3 stock.
NOTE: These packages do not set pit file, or re-partition (same thing), as setting pit was casuing LOTS of failed flashes, and if it fails as it sets pit, you loose the download picture, and it APPEARS bricked but odin will still see the phone (and turn yellow) if you put it in download mode, even with a blank phone screen.
Instructions:
#1 preform factory reset! MUST DO! - if you are unable to do this FIRST, do it immediately after flashing! you will get bootloops without wiping data!
-boot into recovery and select factory reset or clear user data
-or select factory reset from within android operating system settings
#2 Run ODIN one click (version of choice) - odin must be opened before plugging in phone
#3 Boot into download Mode
- with phone OFF, hold both volume buttons, plug USB into phone from pc
#4 Click START
#5 Wait! it should take about 5 minutes, then it will reboot itself!
If the process hangs, and IT DOES (usually at the start) close odin, take battery out of phone, put back in and restart odin, reboot phone into dl mode, try again. HOPE TO GOD it doesnt hang on boot.bin or sbl.bin on the one package containing Bootloaders. Bootloaders are required to upgrade a phone to gingerbread, but they work with older versions and there is no way to tell, so there is no reason to downgrade ever, and it is unnecessary to ever flash them again, maybe until ICS (lol)
with the old packages some users claimed to not have APN settings after flashing. Apn settings let you connect to the internet and send MMS messages on your phone. if you need them.... APN Settings HERE
I JUST USED IT. BEFORE POSTING! IT WORKS! full NO ATT ROGERS STOCK.
doing TiBu restore now on my phoenix 4.5 with darfire blue!

i wouldnt know how to do that, and make sure EVERYTHING turns out right. well... not today at least.
but someone else might be able to before i would learn how.
IMPORTANT PARTS TO THIS ODIN WORKING ARE: dbdata.rfs and param.lfs, maybe more...
You sir, are the man. I will try this asap. I really hope it works. For some reason that AT&T logo makes me feel cheap and dirty .
Thank you for your hard work Nzahorchak.
You're welcome. That's exactly why I put the hours in to create this... well, that and warranty purposes, lol. I guess I should have shared this sooner. I'm no developer and somewhat new to Android, so it took some time.

Glad you are on here. Thank you for addressing an otherwise overlooked problem that really bothered a lot of Canadian captivate users. I've done many google/xda searches for removal tools but they all seemed super sketchy.
Your time and hard work is appreciated, I'm sure not only by me, but by every canadian captivate user that's had to flash back to "stock".
