Okay so not a newb just moving too this phone and had a question about basebands im on froyo and i got this phone 2nd hand i rooted my self but im wondering about gingerbread if i flash a gb rom without updating baseband im assuming itll brick or the radios wont work right? Now my other question is there a way to update gingerbread with a straight talk sim on stock rom or is there a easy way to update the baseband without a computer

Is there any way to check what bootloaders I am running? I did have the GB bootloaders installed when I ran Fusion, Fasty & J3 leak but I have Odin'd back to stock with the no bootloader version & Kies Mini upgraded me to Froyo. Does Kies flash the froyo bootloaders? Is there a way I can check using root explorer?

If you flash a TB rom and it doesn't work. The only way to check.

A side from trial and error of kernels and button cimbos you can't. Tho there might be some info in a UART readout. But getting it to even post UART is more then what most of us are willing to do.

If I have an I9000 Gingerbread ROM installed, do I need to flash new bootloaders if I want to flash a Captivate ROM?

No. I've stayed on i9000 GB bootloaders and flashed Captivate ROMs; they work fine.

Normally no, gb bootloaders are compatible with each other, only the stock music player is known to misbehave. Some devs will advise you to use specific bootloaders, but in the end it's ur call. I'd say pick ur poison and stick with it, avoid flashing bootloader as much as u can, as it's THE part in the flashing process where your phone can be hard bricked.
Just flashed a GB stock rom w/ no BL's & it works. Looks like Mini Kies leaves the BLs alone when being upgraded from Eclair.

Are you on Rogers? if so then Kies did update the BL's, if it didnt and you try running a true GB ROM then you wouldnt be able to boot, it would have a bunch of weird colors on your screen when you tried to boot up...
I am on AT&T. Read my first post. I ran custom roms then I went back to stock then upgraded to Froyo thru Mini Kies. My question was to find a way to see what BLs I had after a Kies update. It seems not to touch them on AT&T until GB is official because I just tested another GB rom & it works.

If I upgrade eclair to froyo on samsung captivate (at&t) with ''Samsung kies mini'' will i lose sim unlock? because i dont have the code
Don't think so.
1.yes you will remain unlocked...I unlocked the day i got it and have done EVERYTHING to this thing other than kill it, still unlocked.
2.why go to froyo when gingerbread is available?

Kies Mini will still require two separate updates to reach GB (at least when I tried from stock). Eclair to Froyo, then Froyo to Gingerbread. No direct path.
Can you confirm if GB will also remain unlocked?
I believe you have to do froyo before Gb with kies. Remember Kies is stupid with things like that lol
Lol got beated to it.
I've been from eclair, to froyo, to gingerbread, to ics, back to gingerbread. Still unlocked.
Kies shouldn't mess with it. But let's be honest, it's easy to unlock with root

My brother has this phone, and it is unfortunate that it is stuck on Froyo. I would like to help him out with rooting, unlocking, and flashing roms, but i'm not sure where to start. I have a Motorola Photon 4g so i am not new to flashing, however im not used to how to do it on his phone. If someone could point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. I would like to get him to at least ICS or JB if it is possible.
Try with SuperOneClick, download the latest version. Maybe work

I bought this phone second hand and upgraded it to ICS before I got a chance to check that it worked. It doesn't read any SIM cards so I need to send it back however I'd prefer to send it with the gingerbread or Froyo (I honestly don't remember which it had) ROM on it.
How do I go about that?
Use smartflashtool and flash a GB firmware

It does not matter if you installed an official ics, because if you upgrade your phone with lg software you'll get ics anyway. You only need to install a official os if the phone is rooted.
A factory reset should suffice to send a clean phone if an official os is installed.
