[Q] Getting my phone in shape - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I hope you guys will be able to guide me step by step in upgrading my phone's software!
I haven't updated my phone's ROM/firmware/kernel for over a year, and it started lagging + I'd like to have the new features of current custom ROM's, like the MIUI v4 for I9000 based on ICS. Now, I'm no noob when it comes to flashing/rooting/installing custom ROM's, firmware and/or kernels, but I haven't done it in over a year so I'm rusty.
The current software my i9000 is running is:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000XXJPY
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #Voodo_stable_5.4.1
Build number: Darky's v9.3.XWJS5
Could someone please explain the shortest/simplest way of upgrading it so I can enjoy the new ROMs? Thank you!

If your G1 already rooted. All you have to do is flash SPL/radio that is required for the ROM you want, then flash the ROM. Make sure you wipe before you start.

1-just make full wipe (3 wipe)
2-root your device with CF root or by semaphore kernel 2.5 not 2.7.4
3-download cm9 to your sd card
4-flash it through cwm
5-then flash your favour ics rom

Hi
need help, I am new with that kind of stuff and don't know the exact version and files that I have to download to root my (Galaxy S I9000 Firmware 2.2 based version I9000JXJPD Kernel version 2.6.32.9 build number FROYO.JPJPF) to the latest Android Jelly beans version. I need a very basic ROM and a method that does not depend on PC -if it possible.
there so many threads talking similar to that issue causing confusing, some said that i have to upgrade to Icecream sandwich before upgrading to jelly beans or my phone will be dead. thats why i am asking help for the easiest and safer way to make this upgrade.
do I need to upgrade the Kernel as well? and how can I do that. and how can I preserve (backup) my excessing ROM?
Thank you.

[Q] Galaxy I9000 Froyo 2.2 to Jelly Bean the right way

Hi there
cousin of mine is unsure how to proceed from a rooted 2.2 Frojo to Jelly Bean, here are his questions:
Hello,
I need your help because I don´t know the next steps to flash
my Android.
I rooted my international Galaxy S I9000 with vodafone branding.
(I flashed the "CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPO-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1" kernel)
Then I installed the ROM Manager app to install CWM 2.5.
I have still e2 Recovery but I can load the zip in this mode
every time.
All data is already backed up and saved (IMEI/EFS Backup is done).
I used the Root Explorer for this step.
Now I´m not sure which steps are needed to install either
Gingerbread, ICS or Jelly Bean. Which roms/kernels are compatible?
My final version should be Cyanogenmod Mackay Jelly Bean.
Now I have Froyo 2.2
Does anyone have appropriate info or links that may help me
because the forum search didn´t serve the right infos for me.
PDA: I9000BUJP7
PHONE: I9000BUJP5
CSC: I9000GVD2JP5
Build Info: 2010.10
Firmware Version: 2.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.BUJP7
Thanks in advance

Hey
You first need to have official gingerbread (provided by samsung) bootloaders as some roms need these..
You can follow the update and root guide below..(Works for the Internation Version Only!! Model No: GT-I9000)
After succesfull booting flash the macky rom with the given instructions in his thread..
Done..

Q&A about proper path from stock to CM 10.1

Hi everyone.
About Phone
=========
Model: GT-S5830T
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: S5830TDCKP5
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL583204 [email protected] #1
I've got a Galaxy Ace running whatever Samsung put on it when they sold it, updated when possible. I'd like to install CM 10.1.
Just got finished reading both of these guides.
First, the sticky on rooting / flashing the galaxy ace here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
Then, the guide for installing CM 10.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212438
Everything makes sense and I'm ready to get started, but then I saw this sentence in the rooting / flashing guide:
If you want to upgrade to newer version then Gingerbread I suggest you to make full procedure, not only flash recovery.

Does that mean that this is not the guide to follow first? If not, can you point me to a better tutorial?
Thanks for your time.

Root and install CWM 5.0.2.6. Fixed that's all that you need (do a backup just in case) and then flash CM rom
I flashed CM when I was in android 2.3.5. and no prob in fact I'm still using 2.3.5. XDDDD AFAIK you don't need any Samy rom to flash CM but several devs advice you to update your android version
I think T = as Gt-s5830 and yes it's the same according Callmeventus thread
