Simply is based on JVQ 2.3.4 so you would need the Gingerbread bootloaders.
Look at [ROM]I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Optional Fugu Root to ge "stock" Gb on your phone first.

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.

Hi there.
I'm running deodexed Froyo 2.2.1 right now from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
I want to flash Gingerbread but I'm lost with bootloaders. The roms in there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790 does not have bootloader also Im not sure if I need one.
Could someone guide about the bootloader thing and how to flash deodexed gingerbread via odin.
Thanks!
C check out ezbase 3 rom, straight flash with odin 3 as per instructions, will give you rooted rom and im pretty sure its deodexed find it in development

Thanks!
But just to be clear: EZBase is a stock deodexed rom with bootloader in it?
Because I want to install the stock gingerbread (XXJVK probably) but I'm confused about the whole bootloader stuff.
Thanks again!
Read the ezbase thread, u can go for froyo or gb, just follow instructions, its all there with link to instructions with screen shots

Hi,
I finally got a Samsung Galaxy S after finding a great a deal on it. I'm aware that there are several ways on how to root this device. However, due to that I don't know which to use.
Currently I'm running on 2.2.1 Froyo XXJPY with Kernel Version of [email protected] #1.
I'm not totally clueless about rooting as I've done it already on my HTC Wildfire.
Could someone please advise me which is the most up-to-date and safest method of rooting? Link would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm a bit confused about installing ROMs. I used to use CWM on my HTC Wildfire which was incredebly easy to do. Would it be the same on my Galaxy S?
I'm planning to test out MIUI, DarkysROM and such ROMs. Would these ROMs have the LAGFIX feature integrated in them as well?
I apologise if a thread like this has already been posted a thousand times but I just can't come up with a definite answer.
Thanks in advance.
I have a galaxy s Vibrant the I9000M and I rooted and unlocked mine today using SuperOneCick and then The Galaxy s unlock by helroz on the app market took a grand total of 6 minutes
Thank you! Now, that's one down.
Now just want to know about flashing ROMs e.g. MIUI, DarkyROM and such.
Do I need to root my SGS first to be able to flash custom ROMs?
I also noticed that you would also have to flash firwares and kernels. Do I need to this before flashing custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance.
In order to flash a custom rom you need to have clockworkmod (CWM) recovery.
and from that its easy
As for the newer rom's here, they are all 2.3.x, so in order to get from 2.2.1 JPY, you will need to flash a stock rom 2.3.x with bootloaders via Odin.
use this link to read about odin and flashing with it. its a great guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
to find stock rom's - they are in the general section. and custom rom's in the dev section.
read a little and after that have fun!!
And keep in mind every rom has its little guide, read those before you flash any.
Hi,
Many thanks for replying. Can I follow the video below made by a fellow XDA member direct from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 via Odin?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lO3Y86N2p0&feature=BFa&list=FLqhM0qK4aVsLmWAA_YYhBCA&lf=mh_lolz
So I will Download stock JVQ from Samfirmware > Download Odin > Flash a stock 2.3.4 JVQ > Install chosen Kernel with CWM > Flash chosen ROM using CWM.
When would I need root then?
Is that right?
This reminds me when I had my Samsung Tocco. Pretty much same procedures.

That is right... basically when you flash a kernel with CWM you get root access. it's one of the features of a custom kernel. some of them activate it on there own and in some you need to activate it your self from the recovery (very simple).
And all the custom rom's come with root access, so in following the steps you wrote, you will get the root access with the custom kernel, and again in the custom rom.
Thanks for everyone's help. I'm now running Armetris 3.6.1 with Semaphore Kernel.
Just a question though, with my phone rooted, lagfix enabled, flashed with custom ROM and such, can I just simply go back to stock ROM? e.g. JVQ/JVR using Odin without any problems?
It is suggested to disable lagfix before changing rom's and kernel's
I know some how would say it is not a must when you use odin, but i always disable it before doing changes. I like to keep it safe.
sorry for this nooob question....
new to the samsung gt i9000, do i need to create a gold card before i do anything else????
sorry to be a bit thick but im used to htc
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently running on Semaphore Kernel but I can't find any Lag Fix option on my phone? There isn't any on CWM Recovery as well.
I thought when you use EXT4 and convert it, Lag Fix would show up but I found nothing, so I just converted back to RFS.
So, I'm fine to directly go back to 2.3.4 JVQ even even I have a custom Kernel and custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If you used the EXT4 app and converted to RFS then you have disabled the lagfix.
The lagfix changes the filesystem from RFS to EXT4. so when you converted to RFS yoh disabled it.
So,yes you are good to go.

Gold card?? what??
Also, If I were to flash a JVS Based ROM do I need to be on stock JVS and a JVS Kernel to flash it?
Once on I'm on JVS custom ROM can I just go back again to JVQ stock (Older firmware) without problems?
Really appreciate all your help Bork84!
Basically using odin you can change to JVS and JVQ no problem.
As far as custom rom, from what I know it does not matter on which 2.3.x you are, thay all have the same bootloders. so technically you dont need to be on stock JVS to flash a JVS custom rom.
but I am not an expert on that.
from my experience, i flashed to a JVR (2.3.4) custom rom via CWM from a 2.3.3 stock rom, and didn't had any problems.
So i cant give you a 100% answer
At first I tried Fasty II but the GPS was worse than what I was used to (KB2 stock ROM). I'm currently using the Fusion V ROM GB 2.3.4 but the GPS on it stinks as well.
Anyways, I've heard good things about the GPS on Fasty v2.5 KB1 ROM and since it is similar to KB2 I thought I would give it a try.
So, my question is: Can I flash this ROM while on GB bootloaders?
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the GB bootloader was backwards compatible. But I want to verify before flashing Fasty v2.5.
Thanks!
Shawn
you should be just dandy

Well I just tried to flash the ROM, but it said that it wasn't supported. I guess I need to flash back with the one click stock KB1. I'll try that next.
Thanks!
That's because the froyo ROM is written with ammend scripting.for cwm 2.5 and below and your most likely running 3.0+ which uses edify scripting.
Flash a froyo kernel with Odin/heimdall or sgs kernel flasher and then flash the ROM.

Thanks for the info, but I already flashed back to 2.2 1-click. Now I guess I should be able to flash a KB2 ROM. Assuming I figure out how to install CM that works with the stock 2.2. I'm back to the 3e version.
Shawn
Just do now what studacris said before... that is, just Odin/Heimdall/SGS kernel Flasher a Froyo kernel with CWM already baked in and then u can flash the Froyo Rom of ur choice.

Look for Speedmod-Kernel-K12u-t4-500kz .. flash it on your 2.2 with Odin and you'll get CWM for 2.2 that will let you flash 2.5. I always use this method when flashing new roms. Works great for me. I used 2.5.. it worked great on GPS.. Mosaic VII GPS also works great for me too.
Hi guys, I've read all the threads, couldn't find anything.
I am currently running Firefly 3.0 (Froyo 2.2) on my (originally) Rogers i896 Captivate (after rooting it changed to AT&T boot screen and now thinks its the SGH i897).
I was looking to move up to 2.3 or even ICS but don't know if I HAVE to go back to Rogers 2.1 stock to do this or simply flash over a new 2.3 rom on my Firefly 3.0 by booting into Recovery and "install zip from sdcard'?
Any ideas.

that's a great guide.
another option is to get Apex ROM Heimdall one-click version and flash it along with GB bootloaders.
ODIN never worked for me.
