It's a ROM you can throw on top of I9000 firmware.

Which one to use?

I wanted to update my i9000,, it has a Gingerbread 2.3.3 ,, but I see that the Baseband is a JPXV6 while the Build number is JPJV6,,, so, which one to use to search for the 2.3.4 ??,,,
Thanks...

You could always flash a rom that prerouted. Cyanogenmod roms all come pre flashed and allow you to keep up to date with modern phones. (allows you to go up to Ice cream sandwich 4.0.4! Also Its not unbrickable by any means. I accidentally came very close to bricking my captivate when i first started modding it. Luckily I got a jig and jigged the crap out of it! HAHA
