Look at this thread and see the section "Gingerbread update and how to go back to stock safely"
Short answer: Yes, Odin3 One-Click will restore the bootloaders. Be careful.

Lol yeah i went ahead and chanced it. I flashed sense fori9000 just to test it out but im back on GB again.

Use Odin one click NOTHING ELSE. Googled for it last night. Top result was a captivate thread. Went back to 2.1, then did one click root and when I got to cwm I installed cognition rom. So much smoother! Ill wait for official GB whenever that may be.

[Q] SGS Vibrant I9000M upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.4!

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade with the recently leaked European Gingerbread 2.3.4 image to the Bell's Vibrant I9000M?
I'm currently running Froyo 2.2, firmware UGKC1. Have downloaded the official 2.3.4 from samfirmware.com and already rooted and unlocked my phone.

It is... i would suggest going this route instead of through the one from samfirmware.
I use darky's ROM. I upgraded to 10.1 (it is 2.3.3), then recently upgraded via CWM to Dark Core 2.7.3 (which has the 2.3.4 GB firmware). Beware that the core is beta at this time, and so far in 2 days i haven't had any real issues on my phone.
www.darkyrom.com, then check the forums.

We are quite in Sync. Co-incidentally I upgraded to Darky's ROM(10.1) about an hour back. I'll give a try to the Beta now. Pls do share your experience with the beta overtime.
Thanx

So far so good... other than my battery. Although i do have a momax 2700mah battery, it only lasted 30ish hours before it died... including using superpower to manage night time usage. I should be getting more than that with this battery (and i have done the reconditioning with the battery since i got it).
Even with 10.1 i got a day and a half or so... but the half day doesn't work for me as i need it for a full day.
Now that i've done one round of recondition on my battery, i'm anxious to see how good the battery will last now.
10.1 works with the JVP kernel fine (at least some of the features for it). I had to upgrade gtalk to the video talk version myself though (although i'm sure it'll be included in the next darkyrom).
Let me know what you think of it...

Hey guys i am also on the I9000M through bell and would love to get the gingerbread on here but the last time i tried i couldnt connect to my 3g for wireless and i couldnt call out or recieve calls please tell me the guide you used because man that gingerbread was fast and smooth.
Right now heres what my phone status is
Model number GT I9000M
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband version I9000UGKC1
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #4
Build number FROYO UGKC1
Thanks in advance for any help
ps my phone is already rooted

you can get gingerbread, but you need to take the extra step of flashing the kc1 modem, or do the 850 band tweak on a euro modem

Do you do the KC1 modem AFTER the GB firmware flash or during?...

I could say after if you using Odin.
But before starting ask yourself what do you really want....
Just the 2.3.4 stock or a custom rom (like Darky's), rooted?, Aply a new theme?

Need advise chnging from froyo to gingerbread

Hello everyone, I am on darkys 9.5 and I wanna go or flash stock rom of JVP 2.3.4 for the sole reason of being able to use video call for skype coz it doesn't support on darkys 9.5 which is froyo.. My concern is, is it ok to flash directly over darky 9.5 (lagfix off) the stock JVP stock rom? Or do I have to flash other version first like 2.3.3 before JVP? And if I am able to flash it with 2.3.4, how do I root it so that I can restore my apps? Your knowledge would be of help..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

You cam backup your apps with Titanium.
Flash like this:
- download XXJVQ with bootloader (you'll find it here on XDA)
- back up contacts, photos, etc.
- disable lagfix
- flash fw with Odin (inclusive PIT-file + Re-partition ticked
(- root with another kernel, enable lagfix) <--- this must not be done
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Ah this is the info I dont know yet, about this bootloader thingy.. So if I flash to another version like from froyo to gingerbread, I should flash with bootloader in odin? I downloaded the custom room on samfirmware.com the JVP version, does it include the bootloader on those files? And if I dont flash with bootloader, does it mean I can't update to gingerbread? They say flashing with bootloader is dangerous so I must be careful..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

If you change the Android-version (from Froyo to Ginger, from Ginger to Eclair,...) you always have tto flash a firmware including bootloaders. If you already have 2.3.3 and you want to uograde to 2.3.4, you already have the Gingerbreadbootloader so you could choose a firmware without bootloader too.

Thanks a lot lunchbox for the info..
That's the thing I need to know.. I know I can find somewhere here in xda the gingerbread bootloader.. Any other precautionary you can advise before I start? So I have to enter four files, the PDA, CSC, MODEM and BOOTLOADER on the odin to make it work?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

No, just enter CSC, PDA and Phone and - if you want to - the PIT-File (if you use a PIT-File don't forget to to tick 'Re-Partition' on the left side in Odin).
You just use the bootloader-field if you only flash the bootloader but nothing else, so just leave it blank for flashing Gingerbread.
And don't forget to press the 'Thanks'-button.

After reading through forums that talks about bootloader, I finally understand the basics.. Just last few questions before I flash gingerbread.
I downloaded the custom rom in samfirmware which is the JVP and it has this files,
1. CODE_I9000XXJPV_CL264642_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 283.5 mb
2. GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVP.tar.md5 86.9 mb
3. MODEM_I9000XXJVP_REV_00CL1019177.tar.md5 12.2 mb
4. 512 pit file
My 1st question, does this rom contain bootloader in the PDA? (Does samfirmare.com roms always have bootloader in their roms?)
Obviously, im new in xda, 3 days young so I didn't know how bountiful the roms to download here and my data plan is limited so I will just use this rom JVP to minimize my data consumption..
My 2nd question is, I read in a vibrant forum that they had a bootloader from I9000 that they can use in their vibrant phones which allows backward (they say you can change to froyo, eclair, gingerbread) can I use that bootloader coz I have I feeling that I'm going back to darky 9.5 and I won't have to flash a froyo bootloader if ever. I'm just updating to get a taste of video call of skype..
My 3rd question is, the risk in flashing roms without bootloader in it especially if you are from froyo and upgrade to gingerbread is, rainbow screen and no download mode, right? (that's why I wanna make sure the JVP I downloaded from samfirmware has gingerbread bootloader in it so I won't have these problems). That's why most roms here in xda has no built in bootloader coz its always risky to flash roms with bootloader so maybe the one I downloaded in samfirmware has bootloader?
My last question is, I read some1 got a problem with his gingerbread bootloader coz he flashed another gingerbread bootloader.. Does it mean that every room has a specific bootloader? Like JVP bootloader is different from JVQ bootloader?
I hope you weren't annoyed with these noob questions.. Hehehe just wanna be safe always that's why I need your opinion. Anyway, I'm learning with every answer you gave me..
Thanks lunchbox.. I'll inform you if I successfully flash it this weekend..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

This fw should contain the bootloader, yes. But I'm never quite sure. I think that firmwares with three parts contain it and with one part not. So you should wait until somebody confirms this.
But don't believe all the threads in the forum. Usually you will only read from bricked pbones and not from successfully ended flash procedures (nobidy will write "well, I just wanted you to inform that everything went fine". ).
Normally you need for a Ginger-based ROM Only Gingerbread as a base. So it doesn't care if you Have JVP, JVQ or JVH. Thung are different only on CM7 + MIUI, there you need Froyo-bootloader.
And if you follow the guudes step by step you won't brick your phone.
You are welcome.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Assuming the JVP stock rom i downloaded has bootloader in it, do i need to check/tick "phone bootlaoder update" in Odin before starting the flash?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I've successfully updated to JVP and I think the bootloader also and I'm using video call on skype now.. I think gingerbread is a nice rom though its to stock but maybe this can be modified I the future..
Thanks lunchbox for the assistance..

Rom manager doesn't recognize my unlocked captivate

I just bought a captivate. I rooted and unlocked it ( now t- mobile) . When I go to rom manager to make a recovery it doesn't recognize my device. Only gives option for i9000, epic, fascinate. What do I need to do to make a backup/ recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

Unfortunately there isn't an official clockworkmod recovery for the captivate. You'll need to either flash a kernel with cwm already embedded, or manually load up cwm on your SD card. What stock ROM are you on atm?
Sent from my AOKP icy-glitched Captivate via Tapatalk 2

Sorry you sorta wrong on some things. There isn't official CWM for GB or Froyo. But there is for Eclair. Sounds like he is on GB at the moment. You are correct about having to flash a kernel with CWM in it.

I stand corrected...but yes unless your still on eclair or restore back to eclair, there isn't an official cwm

Yea, I am on GB 2.3.5 baseband UCKK4. I also have a vibrant.I am really surprised at how different the two phones are. I would like to put a custom rom on the cappy. What rom would you suggest? Kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

Suggesting ROMs ins't allow because you will most likely get arguing. Flash Corn Kernel and try out some custom stock ROMs if you don't know what you're doing. If you have an idea. I suggest ANY of the ICS ROMs

I would like a stable ICS rom. PM me with any suggestions.

vcremoveboot is the revert zip for voltage control, in case you have unstable settings applied at boot.

[Q] I'm confused about bootloaders

Hi,i'm a noob and i don't understand this thing about bootloaders. I have successfully flashed to CM9 (9.1.0 captivatemtd), now i feel like updating to [ROM/MOD] 4.1.1~Jellybean~AoCP CP3~The Collective, but it says it needs Gingerbread bootloaders? prior to flashing to cm9 i had the rogers gingerbread update for my captivate. At the moment i have CM9 (9.1.0) with devil kernel, so how do i get a gingerbread bootloader?or do i already have it?

U have the i896 GB Bootloaders now, since u were updated to Rogers GB firmware before. So u should be good to go.

but since i changed the kernel and i flashed the cm9 9.1.0 rom (i followed the how to flash any rom including ics tutorial btw), wouldn't have my bootloaders have changed?

Not unless u specifically flashed the i897 gb bootloaders in that guide.
And not unless u went and flashed a stock firmware that contains bootloaders.
Bootloaders are not contained in kernels...Or Dev Roms. Just in Stock firmware (unless it states no bootloaders).

i had at one point odin superclicked to stock gingerbread with at&t bootloader and then after with this info
"2.3.3 STOCK! from rogers no changes. DO NOT USE .PIT FILE WITH THIS STOCK! if you need to repartition use 2.2 with pit file then upgrade to 2.3.3 with NO PIT FILE!!!
ALSO, IT CONTAINS BOOTLOADERS!! necessary to upgrade to gingerbread!
this is THE FILE keis used.
The rom below will NOT fix an ATT bootscreen issue, rogers did not change their params.lfs partition so it is not in the rogers keis update. To FIX ATT Bootscreen flash THIS FILE in odin PDA box before or after 2.3.3 stock"
it was a one-click odin again, then from this i went to ics... so am i still ok or should i do something else to make sure?

U r good to go. U have the i896 GB Bootloaders. U can proceed. :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

could you just explain how i could get other bootloaders and what the point is in changing bootloaders?

To run a Gingerbread firmware u need the GB Bootloaders (as opposed to eclair/froyo boots). And gb bootloaders are backwards compatible...u can run froyo or eclair firmware with them. Also once u have them u don't need to worry about flashing any bootloaders again because of the reasons just stated. And as well Roms such as ICS, JB, CM, etc. may require u to have the gb boots as part of their installation requirements.
If u want the i897 GB Bootloaders, see TRusselo's Guide that is a stickied thread in the q & a forum. He has a link in the OP.
