1. read into fuguroot or get some proper custom kernel cf-root, fugumod, voodoo, speedmod for the JVO
2. as you didnt post the link or name what you found cant judge it.
3. depends on the user
4. when problems occur you can brick the phone.
PS: Using search here helps alot. all these questions have been repeatedly answered also in a big thread thats its stickied here. I bet you have read it....

Hi All,
Does anyone know of any roms or themes that have been made specifically for the JL2 Froyo Firmware for Bell Mobility in Canada?
There are the Darky ROM and the DOC's ROM
i personally like more the DOC's ROM
Hi AllGamer,
Thanks for the info. Dumb question perhaps but how do I flash the rom to my phone exactly? I cant seem to get it re-rooted so I cant do the update zip and I am STILL scared to use ODIN for anything.
Any ideas? Please advise...

I know that you asked for JL2 but here's a thread on Bell and JPY. It's what got me started and I ended up flashing seeARMS' JPY.

Even with a rooted phone (SuperOneClick will do JL2 and can be found in the i9000 Dev forum), you're still stick unless you fix your recovery (which requires you to use ODIN to do so). You can get back to 2e recovery by flashing a custom kernel (e.g. SpeedMod found in the i9000 Dev section) or an older stock firmware (you can find JH2 at http://samfirmware.com).
Read up on the Reference thread. It's one of the pinned threads in the General section and will give some help on how to use ODIN.
Thank You to all of you who have answered me. I will look into these solutions for rooting and Themes/Roms...

Yiannisthegreek...let me know if you were able to root with JL2 and how you did it. I am still running 2.1 with the fear that I will be unable to root once I make the upgrade to 2.2 JL2
Let me know if you were successful

JL2 is easily rooted with Super One Click or flashing a kernel that has a rooting option in CWM.
hey guys! its been awhile since i been here my Brother wants his Galaxy S rooted and flashed to a different firmware!
i searched around but cant really find any info on the i9000m model. Hes running 2.2 i9000UGKC1 ( i believe that is the newest update)?
so what are my first steps to gain root? then flash? maybe a point to a root tutorial then a post to a flash tutorial for the i9000M would be handy, i just cant seem to find them haha, been so long since i was here. So can anyone give me the down low on how the mods are going and things needed to get root and flash?
thanks guys
Bump! any one here? im reading that root is possible for the i9000m but flashing might not be? im confused.... is it still odin used to flash and unlock the bootloader to flash new roms?
i've got an i9000m and rooted with SuperOneClick, then once rooted flashed speedmod kernel with Odin. No problemo.
Just make sure before you do anything that you can access Download mode and Recovery Mode via the '3-button' method ie. turn off then hold power/home/vol down (or up) respectively.
been busy since so haven't yet tried a custom rom, but yes, you can root and flash an i9000m!

haha from the days i had my galaxy s i remember the SuperOneClick was downlaodable from the market?? buti cant find it anymore!!! where is it???
and which guide are you talking about to flash custom roms? there seems to be alot...for i9000m
so im reading that i can root with superoneclick
then afterwards i can flash CWM Recovery with Rom Manager? and start flashing roms right? without ODIN?
thats how i used to do it on a htc phone, does it work same with i9000m?

Bump anyone inform me as if this is correct? with the i9000UGKC1 firmware?
Bump, want my information verified, dont want to screw up my brothers phone haha
hey sorry i haven't checked in in awhile either - don't know if it still helps but i rooted with KC1 2.2. then flashed speedmod kernel (only realised afterwards could have just flashed the kernel and used it to root - rooted initially with superoneclick).
been super busy but now have a bit more time to look at more developments - just basic stuff like going to GB, maybe a new kernel and start looking at other ROMs again.
Okey, first of all, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this, so I need some help.
After long browsing I was able to root my Samsung Galaxy.
Now I want to update my Galaxy from 2.2 to Gingerbread.
Since I rooted my Galaxy it won't connect to Kies anymore, so I guess Kies won't work.
I have an Samsung Galaxy S I9000,
FROXO.XWJPA,
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Is it possible to update, if yes, how?
Thanks
anyone? :l
Go to samfirmwares.com for the latest firmware
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
so I just have to update firmware and I'll have Gingerbread?

Download a FW from Samfirmware, the latest is I9000XXJVR (Its 2.3.4), then via Odin you flash a 3 file's, its CODE, MODEM and CSC, and pit file and tick re-partition
Xooley,
I'm new on the forums so cant post any links but if you search for "how to use Odin" then it's really not that difficult.
The biggest decision you have is whether to stick with a "stock" copy of firmware i.e released by the manufacturer or install one of the modded versions from the hard working developers on XDA.
if you have a rooted phone then this wouldn't normally prevent KIES from working, so it might be that your carrier (orange?) hasn't release a Gingerbread version yet.
You can get most stock roms from samfirmwares as stated above. If you've never installed a rom before, make sure you read about it (checked youtube) to see if there are any problems with the one that you have chosen.
best of luck
Alright, so this is my first time posting as I can usually find my questions in another thread... Haven't been able to find this one however.
So I rooted my phone earlier today and have been trying to get the Clockwork Recover Mod on it. I followed a tutorial and made a bad mistake... It seems I downloaded a CF-root made for the i9000 as opposed to the i9000m. Now when my phone tries to boot, it cycles between displaying the start-up screen for each, but it never boots. I can still access download mode, which I understand means I can still change it... But what am I supposed to do?
Further info: Running Android 2.3.3 on Bell.
Thanks!!!
Ditch the i9000m stock rom (which is UGKG3 2.3.3, the one you're probably using) and flash JVT (2.3.5) stock rom, then flash CF-root for JVT. The Bell i9000m will run on the International i9000 firmware and this should get you out of the bootloop.

I hate to sound super uninformed, but how should I go about doing that? Where do I get the stock rom for 2.3.5?
Thanks so much for the help though, I might just need a few extra steps to help get me there...
EDIT:
Would I just use this?

Follow the instructions on here. Use the JVT 2.3.5 PDA, KG3 modem, and csc...its the canadian one. And you might as well repartion with 512 pit. All this can be downloaded on the link above. After you do all that you will have the latest gingerbread firmware. Now you can root with a JVT kernal like semaphore or CF root. There are also a bunch of custom roms you can use on JVT not much if anything for I9000m . The only thing you need from I9000M is the modem and csc....otherwise your cell coverage will suck. I assume you already have odin, if not its available on the above link aswell.

good advice. One other idea, since CF root tripped you up the first time, reduce your anxiety level and root using Hardcore's kernel for JVT or something similar -- one that is robust and also has good step by step instructions.
Question on which files to pull from the site for kernels, modem and csc files...

I have a Bell Samsung Galaxy S I9000M also and am trying to install the Clockworkmod 2.5 hardcore kernel also and got into this boot loop...fortunately, I had the kg3root.tar with the kernel in it to re-flash and get operational again.
For us newbies, perhaps you could direct us to the specific set of files that we need to flash (with links to them) and the instructions to apply them.
I think to have a rooted gingerbread with clockworkmod recovery functional...at this point the ICS update should be able to be done using the instructions on the web. (hopefully)
thx.

Hi!
I cant find my Stock ROM.(S5570B).
If i will install other ROM stock,will it brick?
**S5570B,but not my, cause i cant find it(S5570BJJKQ5)
Have you searched for it at androidangel or samfirmware?
Installing another stock rom, as long as it matches pda, phone, csc or just an upgrade e.g. 2.2 to 2.3, should not brick it. Now, flashing CWM from Rom Manager reportedly bricks it. So you should be real careful about it and follow guides already posted.

if i will install an update to 2.3.6
I will not brick?
Last time i used ROM manger,I have bricked my phone....
Do the update through Kies and rest assured you will not brick it. I updated 2.2 to 2.3 through Kies for a friend's Mini and it was a successful update. It's the safest option you can try.

Is it safe?
Oh yes, ODIN is perfectly safe as long as you stick to instructions. I used ODIN yesterday just to flash tj_style CWM to my Mini and it was problem-free. Of course, I speak about my experience so just don't put the blame on me if the case something cropped up for whatever reason. But, yes ODIN is a safe bet.
