Read the sticky in general section.

I'd come off that firmware first as its your service providers own, flash JVH, JVP, JVB any of them, then flash galaxian kernel, and you should be fine bud

Root for jvo ?

Hi guys just updated to jvo but cant find any info on a rooted kernel.
Is there one out yet ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Ha I'll second that, I can find loads on JVK & JVH but nothing on JVO,
oh well guess it won't be long
And have you tried the JVH kernels at least? They seem to work on JVO too. (Read their threads) - I am on JVO and running fugumod kernel
Also you can root the JVO with fuguroot and go back to stock after rooting. Check ramads thread for stock JVO kernel and nikademus thread for fuguroo.
This one works fine for me.
Thanks guys forgot about this thread found cf root for jvo in end.

Rooting SGS

Okay, first I tried to root my galaxy s but fun know what I do, broke my motherboard, luckily it was still under warranty and got it fixed for $50, but I still want to root my SGS but afraid that if I root again, my motherboard would break again.

Firmware DXJV9

First of all I'd come off that firmware version as that's your network providers version....flash JVK, JVQ, JVP, JVH any of them...then rooting will be easier....you need Odin, and your chosen kernel. First flash one of the firmwares above using Odin (theirs loads of tutorials on YouTube) then once done boot into download mode vol down + home + power, connect to computer, open Odin, their should be a yellow box to let you know your phone has been recognised, then in the PDA box, put your chosen kernel in and click start....done, make sure its a kernel for gingerbread and not CM7, froyo or something ok??

Yeah. That's exactly what caused my motherboard to break

Why don't you just read the sticky on rooting and flashing in the development section - then you won't need to post here.

I9000 Bootloaders and Customer Rom question

Ive recently flashed the 2.3.3 I9000 gingerbread bootloaders. Am I foolish to assume that I can now flash not only Captivate roms but galaxy s I9000 roms as well?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I9000 roms will require a captivate kernel for proper button mapping and orientation
Sent from my I897 using XDA Premium App
I've been running Talon kernels since I first got root. Can you recommend a good Captivate kernel that will work with the I9000 roms?
Sent from my GT-I9000
Talon should do, obviously gb version

I tried to flash an I9000 jvr rom and the home button fix didn't work. So I flashed a talon kernel and got a soft brick. Flashed back to stock. Will have to try a diff kernel?

The ROM u r talking about comes with a kernel for captivate. You dont need to flash any fix on top of it. With that said you can flash I9000 roms that have been redone for captivate and which are present in Captivate Android Development and not Galaxy S Android Development

That was my original question. If any I9000 Rom would work now or if it had to be captivate specific.

Btw Watsa,
I just flashed Apex 9.0 JVR yesterday and haven't had a single issue. Very nicely done.

Sure, if you want a clean customrom i recomend surface by sam. Its a lot of other nice roms, but i like that one
I,m on stock jvr rom for the time, only cfroot to remove som samsung stuff.
And it's really good

Thanks
Checking it out now!
If you want to go to the stock, go to the thread by ramad mentionned above and flash UGKG3, it's the latest and greatest stock bell firmware, as well as being rooted and deodexed. I'm running it now, works great.

Ok ill take a look at that too. How long have you been running that on your phone? Will I be able to update my phone in the future via kies if I wanted to?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You can update using kies, it's detected and read by the kies client. I've been running it for a few weeks, never a single problem. It has busybox 1.19 installed in the bin folder, but you can just install an older one to sbin or xbin if you really need to. I really recommend it, I had a lot of trouble trying to root the stock 2.2.3 on my own.

[Q] JVR and JVQ

Hello to everybody.I have a Hybrid 2.0 XXJVR Rom and Galaxian EE kernel and i want to test F1 Galaxy S2-SP1 Rom which is based on XXJVQ.Do i have to install XXJVQ to test it or is done from XXJVR straight away?Thanks in advance!!!
If you want to use a custom rom that is gingerbread, you need to be running gingerbread for the bootloader. Same for FroYo.
Gingerbread > gingerbread
Froyo > froyo
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
so are you saying that i can?because in the F1 post says to flash XXJVQ rom first.Thanks for the reply!
If the post says to flash a certain firmware first, do it. The dev knows best.
