[Q] Badly need help about flashing to 2.3.4 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having trouble upgrading my Samsung galaxy S GT-I9000 so I hope you guys could help me with this. I've been reading so many threads regarding to flashing but I don't understand any of it. So here it is..
My current firmware version is 2.2
Baseband version: I9000JXJPE
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #91
Build number: FROYO.JPJPG
Where can I get the update.zip for 2.2? (if i'm not mistaken this is the CWM right?)
Is it okay if I flash my phone with this? DarkyRom? This--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
I want to flash to darkyrom 10.2 but I'm afraid my firmware version is not compatible or what.
How can I upgrade my 2.2 to Gingerbread?
Sorry for so many questions.

Help with rooting stock rom

HI guys
im new to the galaxy, been using the g2x for a while. i read all the guides here and on another forum and i still need some help. i want to root my phone, its with a stock rom:
2.3.3
baseband: I9000JHJV9
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000JHJVG-CL788779

Build number: GINGERBREAD.JHJVG
i know i need to replace the kernel with a modified one. could not find anything suitable since the build and baseband are too new (HJV9!?)

That should do it. In case anything goes wrong always have a stock rom on your PC and remember to read on how to flash with Odin (Samsung tool to flash roms and kernel's)
Once u start flashing there is no turning back...it's that much fun

[Q] I9000 Rooting Help!

Hi there! I apologise for the question as you probably get this a lot.
I can't find a clear and concise tutorial (that i can understand) on how to root my Galaxy S and its specific version.
Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction?
I am not entirely new to rooting as i've rooted my GS3 fairly easily, this however seems more difficult.
Here are my phones information:
Firmware Version 2.1-update1
Baseband Version I9000XXJM1
Kernel Version 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number ECLAIR.I9000XXJM1
I understand I have to download a kernel of some kind so I can root in within ODIN...however there are so many CF versions I am really stuck
Thankyou in advance and a quick reply would truly be appreciated. Thankyou!
Ok...You are still in froyo so you have to update to gingerbread 2.3.3 then you have to install the "JW4_JW4_JW4" value pack that will update your i9000 to 2.3.6, only now you can flash a rooted kernel..

FYI 2.1 is eclair, not froyo. That's 2.2
Rooting Eclair is easy as hell. Just use the one click root tool.
