[Q] Canadian Gingerbread Rom? JV1 or JVK ?

I am a Bell i9000m user -- I'm using Froyo right now (JL2 modem) which uses the 850 hz band
I desperately want to go to a Gingerbread ROM.
I understand before flashing roms via CWM I need to change the bootloaders to the new Gingerbread 2.3 models
Can anyone point me to directions as to do this (I think it would have to be done via ODIN I'm assuming?)
Also, do I use JV1 or JVK ? what's the difference ?
Cheers

You could try ezbase, it didn't work very well for me though. (errors on boot)

Otherwise, you could flash the gingerbread bootloaders, then your choice of gingerbread roms, or flash the stock deodexed JVB in ramad's thread, with odin.

So JVB is the one to go with ? I am gonna flash the bootloaders first to turn it into a stock Gingerbread phone then go from there.
What do you mean by stock "deodexed" JVB ? what's the difference between deodexed and/or the original stock ? Sorry I'm still kinda new / learning

yes definitely go with JVB bootloaders (e.g here, for files and instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924) and install a good base rom (e.g.Docs, Simply Honey or Stock Rom) that installs the full JVB in ziplined and deodexed form: this will aloow you to add features and themes later. If you only install the basic odexed JVB you cannot add themes or apps without risking (and incurring, boot crashes).
After you have the Rom installed you can go back to Odin and flash the KC1 modem if the JVB modem doesn't connect with Bell (or adjust the settings as per here on how to activate the necessary band within any modem).
You can than flash any custom kernel if you want to further tweak and adust your system. (Warning, this does get to be fun).

Docs didnt work as well as i'd hoped, i ended up going with Bezke's rom - plus it already had the theme i was planning to install haha.

[Q] Help me install MIUI 2.3.4 (MGv1)

Hello!
Can you please help me install MIUI 2.3.4 (MGv1)?
I have Android 2.3.3 official in my Galaxy S. I have Clockwork Mod.
Do I have to install some 2.2 ROM before installing MIUI?
Link to the MIUI guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Best regards, Galaxy S Subben.

yes you'll need to flash a 2.2 ROM before you can flash MIUI.
All i did was go to samfirmware.com and flashed the 2.2.1 XXJPY as pda with no repartition. took less than 5 minutes to flash, and then followed the MIUI guide exactly as written in the second post of that thread, and have had no issues whatsoever.

flash official froyo firmware to get the correct froyo bootloader, then simply follow the installation from the first page of the miui thread. works everytime for me

The best way is to flash JPU becaus it brings a new bootloader to you.
Then i´ve read that its good to flash the MIUI RC7 stock first and then the MGv2 in the recovery.

Just an update to my previous post, search the forums for ezbase and use that to go to a 2.2 rom, it is easy as pie to do, and their instructions are easy to follow.

I swear by ezbase too, great as a recovery image

Simply is based on JVQ 2.3.4 so you would need the Gingerbread bootloaders.

From stock unrooted GB to rooted ICS

Hello,
My Galaxy Note is unrooted and running a stock GB ROM:
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: N7000UBKK1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-N7000UBKK3-CL702304
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UBKK3
I'd like to root my device and also flash an ICS ROM (ICS StuNNeR). I've been reading a lot of tutorials here, but I'm still confused about which method is best for me.
My current ROM doesn't seem to be "directly rootable". Do I really have to downgrade it first? Is it necessary to root the GB ROM before flashing the ICS ROM?
Should I follow the guide Another Way to Successfully Flash AOSP/AOKP/CM9 ICS Roms from Gingerbread? But do I have to root the GB ROM first?
I'd also like to backup my current ROM, but I haven't found instructions on how to do that.
Thanks a lot,
Tiago

This might help. If not look at the stickies in the android development section and go through all relevant posts there. For flashing a rom from gb to ics I suggest u wait until OTA update and then flash roms cause many notes have been bricked due to the leaked kernel. If u want to still flash an ics rom then follow the guide provided by the dev.and yes u have to root ur phone before u flash a rom.

Upgrading from Froyo to ICS

So my old phone is no used by my sister and is still running Fusion ROM on Android 2.2. For some reason the wifi is no longer working and I figure I would upgrade to ICS since I am redoing things anyway. I read another thread where a guy flashed straight from Froyo to ICS and is running ok, but I remember going from Android 2.1 to 2.2 was a pain and I had to wipe, flash back to stock, flash new bootloaders, and then the Froyo ROM. I would assume going all the way to ICS which has major changes would also require something complex but just want to be sure about the process. So am I supposed to use Odin to flash stock Gingerbread and bootloaders before I upgrade to ICS? Or is it really fine and all will work if I just flash an ICS based ROM from where I am right now?
I am thinking of flashing the SlimICS ROM unless someone can tell me a reason why that ROM is not very good?
Currently the phone has the 2.2 firmware, i897UCKB1 baseband, 2.6.32.9 kernel, and is running Fusion 1.9.8 ROM. I am not sure on the bootloader version, but I have a file on my PC from a long time ago called "galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar.md5" that I think I probably used to update the bootloader all that time ago when I moved to Froyo.

See TRusselo's "[Guide] How to flash ANY Captivate Rom from Stock (including ICS)" that is a stickied thread in the Q&A Forum...

So, your saying I should flash to stock and then flash to gingerbread before moving to ICS then?

Nope. Just Read the OP of that Guide and all will be clear... Just Read the 1st sentence of that OP...Lol
