hi,
i am still pretty n00b when it comes to android, but i really wanna try and put a custom ROM on my I9000. i recently updated to the official 2.2 firmware via kies.
i've been snooping around and really like the look of Darky's v7 gingerbread edition 2.2.1 custom ROM, i was reading the instructions, and it said you need a kernel with recovery 2e by chainfire. i went on that forum and was looking, and i don't think there's one for my firmware.
my baseband is dtjp3 and build is dtjp5
when i was looking through CF-ROOT files, i couldnt find one that was like mine?
CF-Root-JPH-v1.0
CF-Root-JPH-v1.1
CF-Root-JPK-v1.1
CF-Root-JPM-v1.2-Busybox-1.15.3
CF-Root-JPM-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1
CF-Root-JP6-v1.2-Busybox-1.15.3
CF-Root-JP6-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1
CF-Root-JPJPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.15.3
CF-Root-JPJPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1
CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPO-v1.2-Busybox-1.15.3
CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPO-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1
CF-Root-XW_XEE_JPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.15.3
CF-Root-XW_XEE_JPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JPU-v1.3-BusyBox-1.15.3
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JPU-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
sorry for the n00b question guys, would appreciate if someone could clear this up!
Do you have 3br? If so just flash different rom jpy for example is supported by cf then go to darkys rom this is the route i took.
Hi everyone I have seached the forum and found some threats on this subject, but nothing that helped me.
PDA: I9000XWJPF
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000TDCJP3
And my revovery is e3
I have tried One Click Root from XDA and z4root.
The One Click Root gives me the Verification error and the z4root just stalls..
Please help me. I want to apply lagfix and custom roms.

move this to Q&A...
*facepalm*
you didn't read enough. There is TONS of info on how to root the Galaxy S.
First of all i suggest you change upgrade to a more recent ROM, such as JPY. Go to the General Section and a thread for JPY will be there, you can get Odin in that thread too or from the link in my sig. To root, all you need is Odin v1.7 and CF-Root, the thread is here: [21.12.2010][CF-Root v1.3] JPH/K/6/M/A/O/U/X/Y - su+busybox+2e, CWM compat!
You can't have 3e Recovery, CF-root will give you 2e.
OR you could simply flash a custom ROM and you'll have root pre-installed.

I saw that thread but i dont know witch file to download whit my fw specifications

It doesn't matter what firmware you have before, the only thing that does matter is the CSC, which contains countries' specific provider APN's etc, but it'll have the EU CSC so you should be fine. Get Odin v1.7 and flash JPY over, and then you can flash CF-Root or a Kernel like Hardcore's, to get Clockworkmod as well, in order to flash a custom ROM.
So as it is now i just use odin and flash lets say DocRom XXJPX ?

Would be better to flash stock JPY, use CF-Root and then flash Doc/Darky ROM.
Can you point me a link for such fw? The one that fit my current fw.

Guy don't flash the JPY if you want to use GPS. After I flashed it on my German Galaxy S. It takes hours to fix the GPS and then you just get an accuracy (do I write it right?) of around 100 meters. Better use the JPX with JPA WiFi drivers.

Link? And am i still going to flash all files?

Lets see if we can complicate this further for this poor guy.
An easier approach if you don't want to touch your firmware is to flash a modified kernel. For example SpeedMod will give you root as well as other goodies (2e recovery, clockwork recovery, etc).

Download and flash it using ODIN (put the file into the PDA box).
This was what i was lookning for and after i have done this i can use costom roms with clockwork?

After I upgraded my Froyo 2.2 from JPA to FROYO.DXJPE I9000DXJPB I couldnt root using z4root at all. What can I do? The upgrade fixed my GPS problems tho. But my SGS Lags now. Help please. It also says my Recovery is 3e.
Want to jump in too...
I'm also interested in Darky's but did a fine job bricking my phone recently when I tried to flash to another firmware. So I need something like an idiot's/tech bimbo's guide...
My phone is the I-9000 international, running on official froyo 2.2, not rooted. Can someone kindly spell out the steps of exactly what I need to do? I came across many sites with incomplete information or even conflicting sequences when using Odin, so I'm a little paranoid about bricking my phone again. TIA.

just flash CF-Root via odin, then clockworkmod, create a backup and try the romkitchen or darkys rom. best roms imo
But in this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939752

Well the simple answer is look at page one of Darkys posts where oddly enough the instructions are written as how to flash his rom .
Bit of advice dont flash until you really understand what you are doing unless you want to join the IBSGS club short for i bricked my galaxys an now it does not work .

Shouldn't that be IBMSGS club?
This is becoming way too common. Flashing before reading.
I dont want to brick my phone, if that happens i will cry like a b*** xp I will do step by step
You should look out for Darky's ROM, best ROM out there! It makes your SGS so damn fast
They even have a great step by step tutorial on how to root/flash your SGS. Don't have the link by hand, you should look out for it ^^
One advice: Never ever flash the official 2.2 Update from Samsung. My phone was nearly turned complete useless because I had since then terrrible performance problems...

I am a Bell i9000m user -- I'm using Froyo right now (JL2 modem) which uses the 850 hz band
I desperately want to go to a Gingerbread ROM.
I understand before flashing roms via CWM I need to change the bootloaders to the new Gingerbread 2.3 models
Can anyone point me to directions as to do this (I think it would have to be done via ODIN I'm assuming?)
Also, do I use JV1 or JVK ? what's the difference ?
Cheers
Use the darkys guide it helps alot... explains everything.... and. If you follow that you wont brick your phone

Darky's 10.3 or what not ?
V10 RC5.3 -- this is the one i'm looking to get . The question is do I have to load the bootloaders first ?
any chance you can point me in the right direction ?
just follow this link exactly...
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-rc5-now-much-easier.2382/
the Ficeto_JVB will take care of your bootloaders
If you cant figure out how to do this with this guide then I recommend you wait until Bell has a 2.3 update through KIES
if you don' want to use Darky's use this and then install a ROM of your choice such as StockRom, Simply Honey or cook one over at Doc's kitchen. Of course, the thread I linked you to was also prepped by a chef who has his own ROM, so lots of options, but very straight forward.
I just flashed original stock i9000xxjvb rom in my galaxy s i9000. Now I have no idea to root it. Please help me to root it. I also want to know if there is any way to convert its ROF file system to EXT4. Thanks
Just search this forum and the Dev forum to find many, many threads about rooting JVB on the i9000 and applying a lagfix.
the way I used was using the CF-root kernel with ODIN
