i install the jvk rom with the bootloader but now i want to install miui.To do that i have to be at froyo.Am i have to downgrade my bootloader for froyo and which versions of froyo have bootloader?
No mate, you should be able to flash your desired rom as it's compatible downward. Use Odin, or flash a kernel with CWM and do it that way
But if you find it more comfortable that way, XXJPU and ZSJPG roms have bootloaders as far as i know on samfirmware.com.
thanks man.
i am going to flash EZbase as the base rom.

Yes, you can go back to any 2.2 or 2.1 rom with the new bootloader in 2.3.3

Hi all, been a long while since I visit this forum, I am still on the XXJPY firmware and now want to update to the new one. Here is the problem:
I know I need to update the bootloader in order to do this; I know if i don't, I will lose my phone. I know there are two types of ROM one with bootloader one without. If i am going to update to XWJW5, where should I get the bootloader from? will ROM downloaded from Sammobile firmware page included the gingerbread bootloader?
or any other similar post had been posted before that can recommend me to read?
Thank you
Update: I have just extracted the firmware downloaded from SamMobile, and there are two files:
boot.bin
sbl.bin
does this mean it included the new bootloader? and i sould be good to go to reflash my phone as if there was no bootloader changed?
Follow the instructions in INSANITY rom thread there is a full flashing guide.u dont have to flash the insanity rom just follow the ODIN guide on how to flash and upgrade bootloader.
If u flash stock firmware tick bootloader update in ODIN..
But read the guide,before flashing.
Good flash;-)
Hi. I have my SGSII which is really easy to modify and install firmwares and ROMs, but my fathers X8 is messed up. All I could find is ROMs but not firmwares for download. I can't install 2.3 ROM on 2.1 fw, right?; At least not on SGSII, so where can I dl GB firmware?
Maybe I'm stupid, but what's the difference between ROM and firmware? SE doesn't support x8 any more and left xperia owners with official Eclair 2.1 ROM, so all You are able to do is root Your father device, install recovery and flash a ZIP file which include GB 2.3 ROM for stock kernel (Like GingerDx f. eg.).... OR unlock bootloader (if You can of course, manufacture date here is important), flash custom kernel and than flash custom ROM (like GB MiniCM7 or iCS MiniCM9).
Well while I was reading on SGSII subforum tips I saw that you cannot flash ICS rom on Android 2.3, you have to install first ICS firmware, then flash ICS ROM.
Thanks I will try flashing GB ROM.
Hi, I am currently use SOKP (5.1.1) rom on my t mobile note 4. My baseband is still COD6 (I guess bootloader should be in the same version as baseband). My TWRP is still 2.8.0.X.
I want to switch to Touchwiz based custom rom. In the meanwhile, I think I need to update the baseband (bootloader and etc) and TWRP for a smooth experience.
Can anyone advise an approach to do it? I am thinking to flash the latest original N910TUVU2DOK2_N910TTMB2DOK2_TMB.zip rom via odin. Can anyone post a link to the instruction? I want to make sure what I do via odin is correct.
I assume this flash will automatically update bootloader and baseband to the latest version. and I need to re-root and update TWRP per the instruction here before flash the TW based custom rom.
I figured out that I could just load the stock via odin and go from there. So far so good.
