Hello, I would like to upgrade to the Hero stock 2.1, but I am rooted from Android 1.5. Is there a way to upgrade to stock 2.1 and stay rooted? Or do I have to upgrade and then re-root?

Yes, there are many stock rooted roms in the development section, I would check out nfinite's stock 2.1
Can I flash the ROMs available in this forum and later if for any reason I didnt like any, can I flash the original Froyo on my HTC Wildfire?
restore it as it was shipped.

Of course you can. Nandroid backup or look for official FroYo modified without new hboot.
Because if you flash the new official Froyo (RUU) or OTA update, you won't be able to root it nor install any other ROM. Otherwise, you can install an older 2.1 RUU, which can be rooted then.
Ask me for more help if you need

As far as i have experienced with my wildfire,once u flash RUU froyo on your wildfire,u cannot flash back an Eclair RUU as the latest HBOOT wouldnt allow you to overwrite with a previous version.
If I am wrong ,please correct me.
I dont want to downgrade to 2.1 but get back 2.2 original

Yes, you can't downgrade with the official RUU, because of the new HBOOT. But there are now SAFE roms extracted from RUU, so is the RUU without new HBOOT, so can be rooted.

But now, which version you have? Official update 2.2.1? If you have updated by wifi when the phone showed "Update available", you can't do anything now, until the official Froyo can be rooted.
If that's not your case, explain in which situation are you right now.
I cound't update via kies.

He asked for a stock ROM, why suggest that?
You can find KA6 stock here:

Apply using ODIN.
OP, not to sound rude... just look in the dev section for the ODIN and CWR flashable versions.

Just to back the OP a litte...
I'm not even sure what the stock 2.2 is. All this talk of KA6 and KA7 and on top of that all the leaked or not... and people tossing out flash this rom or flash that rom.. it gets confusing when your not used to this. If you go in to the developers section and look, nothing is labeled "stock 2.2 cwm flash able" and when you search for it, you get a bunch of old links to non official 2.2.
I never looked for it till OP asked. I'm happy with the rom im running right now, but I feel your confusion OP.
Edit:
There is also usually at least one clear cut thread on how to get the update and how to root the update. Maybe ill put this together.
yeah some people might need the stock rom to make warranty claims.
I would sure love to know why it is being said that KA7 is "official froyo OTA." I don't believe I have heard Samsung or T-mobile even mention KA7 so how would anyone know?
Again, this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919687
contains the file to ODIN that will get you to exactly where you would get if you upgraded via mini kies.
In other words, ODIN that file and you will be on "current stock version"

So right now there is no flashable version of the official stock 2.2?
So I'm rooted on 2.3.3 with the official ota, I'm suffering without a. Oc kernel, is there a way I cam downgrade to like cm7 or 2.2 rom with a kernel? Thanks!
Rooted with the official OTA?

Which version of the rooted ota do you have installed?

Or is it more like "was rooted before upgrading"?
Yeah my bad, I waited til they released a rom with the official upgrade, hope that makes sense
If your rooted and just running a rooted "official update" ROM then you can flash whatever you want. As long as you didn't accept the Gingerbread upgrade pushed out from Sprint and still have s-off your good to go.
My wife has had it with her Vibrant running a 2.3.5 CM7 based ROM not having working GPS. I figured I would put her back to a stock but rooted ROM.
Is this possible? I have used ODIN before, so that is not an issue. I am having a hard time finding an original ROM to download.
What are my options?
Thanks in advance!!!

I was on Simply Honey and I ODIN back to stock (eclair).
I use the "GBBOOT-T959UVJFD.tar" (see link below, file is in 2nd post) and the 512 pit file. Make sure to check Re-Partition only, leave the other boxes UNCHECKED.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156832
I followed s15274n guide, (link below) to root and install any rom. I used option B to root and update rom. I installed Trigger as I was on this prior to CM7 and found it to be the most stable.

So I cannot just download the stock ROM and ODIN back to it? Because of the GB bootloaders?

Use this method. It'll clean out any ghosts of old roms, and put you back on jk2 froyo with root and busybox. It should also put you back on froyo bootloader. I do this between every flash now.

Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick (FTDNB)
I have posted about it in several threads, including my own, so I figured I would finally put it in a central location. This is my FTDNB method for starting with a fresh, clean phone, without any ghosts of roms past popping up to cause you issues.
Download this first, and flash through Odin with your standard 512 pit file
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8
Then when it reboots to the recovery screen, pull your battery, reinsert it and boot up to dl mode, and flash the following, with your same pit file, and selecting repartition in Odin this second flash only:
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=3
The first link there is Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick, but it doesnt work that well as a driver. As an eraser its great though! The second link is the Froyo JK2 leak, with fixed recovery and already rooted. If the first one didnt, the second flash will definitely put you back on Froyo bootloaders.
Thats my whole secret to keeping a clean phone and wiping out any ghosts. You can proceed from there in your desired direction (back to ZD or GZ preferrably) in a safe manner. Its always worked for me to clear up any oddness, and literally takes 15 minutes tops once you have the files downloaded.

Then if you want rooted stock then flash or odin kb5 froyo found on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193
I would suggest flashing a custom froyo rom like ZenDroid, Trigger 3.2, or Project V though.

I gave up on that gps on the vibrant just buy her a bluetooth gps receiver. I should have done this long time ago.
Ok, I got it downgraded to 2.1 and then up to 2.2. How do I get the official stock 2.2.1 ROM for it? I have been looking around, but cannot find it for download. What is the best procedure for rooting 2.2?

I believe the latest official stock for Vibrant is 2.2 kb5. You can root using Z4root on your phone or Super One Click from your computer. Or you can use Rom Manager to put CWM on you're phone and flash the pre-rooted stock kb5 from the thread I posted above.
