I would like to know this as well!
read ANY instruction on flashing gingerbread
EVERY SINGLE ONE tells the SAME WAY to get back to Stock!
for the canadian, read my stock rom link in my sig.
it uses the SAME method to return to stock bootloaders but then flashing the rogers rom on top. READ INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
but GINGERBREAD bootloaders work fine with ANY stock rom,
there is no reason to flash stock bootloaders, only the stock rom if possible. and it is possible.
its all in the instructions.
Wasn't sure about how bootloaders would work for stock. Thanks.

Look at this thread and see the section "Gingerbread update and how to go back to stock safely"
Short answer: Yes, Odin3 One-Click will restore the bootloaders. Be careful.
Lol yeah i went ahead and chanced it. I flashed sense fori9000 just to test it out but im back on GB again.

Use Odin one click NOTHING ELSE. Googled for it last night. Top result was a captivate thread. Went back to 2.1, then did one click root and when I got to cwm I installed cognition rom. So much smoother! Ill wait for official GB whenever that may be.
I read and reread the overcome step by step on flashing to gingerbread.
I am curious if instead of proceeding to flash the overcome rom I decide to try out the stock gingerbread first.
If I get to the step after flashing the stock gb (step 7 in the overcome step by step) wherein I wipe/factory reset will I get a usable tab,gingerbread problems notwithstanding? That is the step where the setup screen.
Yes you can flash the stock rom without flashing the overcome rom.

Andychud : beware, I don't know if you can flash this rom with you p1000T tab, it's for p1000(euro tab) Do a search before flashing. All I know is it's alson compatible with asian tab.
Edit : nevermind what I said. I saw that you can flash the euro rom on a p1000t.

Thanks for the warning. I also just got an email from a friend in Oz with exactly same model as me. He said it flashed no problem with euro stock gingerbread. He also reports that everything is working & it generally seems much more responsive.

Is there any way to check what bootloaders I am running? I did have the GB bootloaders installed when I ran Fusion, Fasty & J3 leak but I have Odin'd back to stock with the no bootloader version & Kies Mini upgraded me to Froyo. Does Kies flash the froyo bootloaders? Is there a way I can check using root explorer?

If you flash a TB rom and it doesn't work. The only way to check.

A side from trial and error of kernels and button cimbos you can't. Tho there might be some info in a UART readout. But getting it to even post UART is more then what most of us are willing to do.

If I have an I9000 Gingerbread ROM installed, do I need to flash new bootloaders if I want to flash a Captivate ROM?

No. I've stayed on i9000 GB bootloaders and flashed Captivate ROMs; they work fine.

Normally no, gb bootloaders are compatible with each other, only the stock music player is known to misbehave. Some devs will advise you to use specific bootloaders, but in the end it's ur call. I'd say pick ur poison and stick with it, avoid flashing bootloader as much as u can, as it's THE part in the flashing process where your phone can be hard bricked.
Just flashed a GB stock rom w/ no BL's & it works. Looks like Mini Kies leaves the BLs alone when being upgraded from Eclair.

Are you on Rogers? if so then Kies did update the BL's, if it didnt and you try running a true GB ROM then you wouldnt be able to boot, it would have a bunch of weird colors on your screen when you tried to boot up...
I am on AT&T. Read my first post. I ran custom roms then I went back to stock then upgraded to Froyo thru Mini Kies. My question was to find a way to see what BLs I had after a Kies update. It seems not to touch them on AT&T until GB is official because I just tested another GB rom & it works.

Hi,i'm a noob and i don't understand this thing about bootloaders. I have successfully flashed to CM9 (9.1.0 captivatemtd), now i feel like updating to [ROM/MOD] 4.1.1~Jellybean~AoCP CP3~The Collective, but it says it needs Gingerbread bootloaders? prior to flashing to cm9 i had the rogers gingerbread update for my captivate. At the moment i have CM9 (9.1.0) with devil kernel, so how do i get a gingerbread bootloader?or do i already have it?
U have the i896 GB Bootloaders now, since u were updated to Rogers GB firmware before. So u should be good to go.

but since i changed the kernel and i flashed the cm9 9.1.0 rom (i followed the how to flash any rom including ics tutorial btw), wouldn't have my bootloaders have changed?
Not unless u specifically flashed the i897 gb bootloaders in that guide.
And not unless u went and flashed a stock firmware that contains bootloaders.
Bootloaders are not contained in kernels...Or Dev Roms. Just in Stock firmware (unless it states no bootloaders).

i had at one point odin superclicked to stock gingerbread with at&t bootloader and then after with this info
"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"
it was a one-click odin again, then from this i went to ics... so am i still ok or should i do something else to make sure?
U r good to go. U have the i896 GB Bootloaders. U can proceed. :thumbup:

could you just explain how i could get other bootloaders and what the point is in changing bootloaders?
To run a Gingerbread firmware u need the GB Bootloaders (as opposed to eclair/froyo boots). And gb bootloaders are backwards compatible...u can run froyo or eclair firmware with them. Also once u have them u don't need to worry about flashing any bootloaders again because of the reasons just stated. And as well Roms such as ICS, JB, CM, etc. may require u to have the gb boots as part of their installation requirements.
If u want the i897 GB Bootloaders, see TRusselo's Guide that is a stickied thread in the q & a forum. He has a link in the OP.

yeah because search function is currently unavailable i have yet to make a new thread..
So what is the steps? from zero to hero?
i am on a stock ROM, stock recovery, and stock kernel too..
:silly:
Which stock? Froyo (android 2.2)?

The bootloaders on stock Gingerbread ROMs are already unlocked, to the best of my knowledge. If you're still on Froyo, just find a region-appropriate stock GB ROM on SamFirmware.com.
