Before I had gained root access I had used LGs mobile support tool to upgrade to GB.. I was reading somewhere that you can't flash any custom kernels if you are running gingerbread and I wasn't sure if this statement was true or not.. if not what are some kernels that I can flash?
Use the search as there are quite a few now compatible with at&t update

There are no GB kernels for MM. It's because MM has locked bootloader and Motorola don't want to update Milestone to 2.3. Until it will be unlocked we can only use official 2.2.1 kernels from Motorola.
But my phone is already rooted and installed with a custom ROM.So is there any possibilty to replace the kernel of this custom ROM(pl remember that it is not Motorola's) with the latest Gingerbread kernel?

It is not possible, because kernel must be signed by Motorola's RSA key that bootloader will accept. It's hardware based security, so you can't put any other unsigned kernel.
Gingerbread kernels for Milestone
Thank you adamz667.But knowing it I am bitterly disappointed.We have to find a round about way to unlock this nasty bootloader as we are now in a world of powerful hacking.Then only Motorola will learn.

So a friend of mine updated his p1010 to the official Gingerbread following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410035 but the instructions in the guide says that root comes with CWM in the second post...
I would just like to confirm if this is true since it goes against the procedure I went through with my Optimus One (root first, then install CWM, then install roms). I don't see where root access can be gained in the guide above.
And i think GB cannot be rooted with z4root so how do you root an official p1010 on gingerbread? Could it have been possible to root with z4root, install CWM, then flash a rom already on GB with no other changes?
See if THIS answers any of your questions
Yeah that guide only talks about z4root which is part of my question...
Does z4root even work for Gingerbread? My experience in the past with GB and z4root makes me say no... So what else can I do to root a stock GB Galaxy Tab p1010?
You didn't look far enough. That thread contains ALL the information you need. I wrote it based upon my experience and I am running the GB KPI firmware which is most certainly ROOTED.

So my old phone is no used by my sister and is still running Fusion ROM on Android 2.2. For some reason the wifi is no longer working and I figure I would upgrade to ICS since I am redoing things anyway. I read another thread where a guy flashed straight from Froyo to ICS and is running ok, but I remember going from Android 2.1 to 2.2 was a pain and I had to wipe, flash back to stock, flash new bootloaders, and then the Froyo ROM. I would assume going all the way to ICS which has major changes would also require something complex but just want to be sure about the process. So am I supposed to use Odin to flash stock Gingerbread and bootloaders before I upgrade to ICS? Or is it really fine and all will work if I just flash an ICS based ROM from where I am right now?
I am thinking of flashing the SlimICS ROM unless someone can tell me a reason why that ROM is not very good?
Currently the phone has the 2.2 firmware, i897UCKB1 baseband, 2.6.32.9 kernel, and is running Fusion 1.9.8 ROM. I am not sure on the bootloader version, but I have a file on my PC from a long time ago called "galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar.md5" that I think I probably used to update the bootloader all that time ago when I moved to Froyo.
See TRusselo's "[Guide] How to flash ANY Captivate Rom from Stock (including ICS)" that is a stickied thread in the Q&A Forum...

So, your saying I should flash to stock and then flash to gingerbread before moving to ICS then?
Nope. Just Read the OP of that Guide and all will be clear... Just Read the 1st sentence of that OP...Lol

I am new to this and I'm wondering what type of custom kernels I can flash onto my Captivate. I'm confused about which kernel is compatible with my device.
Will I be able to flash this onto my phone?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477
I'm currently using the 2.3.3 stock ROM, I896UXKH2 for my Rogers captivate.

Let me know how that works out, because I basically want a stock phone with lagfix.
try this.
Here. Try this. I dont know what rom youre running but I am running Devil as we speak and its very nice! And has lag fix!
Cognition 5 rom seems like the best but there are people with camera and other issues,
I just rooted and unlocked my captivate, here are specifics as is: firmware 2.1-update1 baseband I897UCJH7 kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2 build GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6 build ECLAIR.UCJH7
I don't want to sacrifice functionality for a phone that looks good or is too modern for the captivate to handle, I want a rom where I will have no issues whatsoever with things like mms, camera, ics, wifi / 3g sip w & w/o bluetooth (w sipdroid), tethering, installing to sd, that has a promise of performing well for a good while and ideally for the rest of the life of the phone without having to possibly upgrade ever again.
I didn't find a barebones rom for this as the vibrant does, so what other roms you think will be most performant and stable?
Try the latest official release, Stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 i897ucKK4 first. To get Root on the KK4 use this... [Utility]KK4 Easy Root. And then if u want to venture out to Dev Roms from there use TRusselo's Guide.

thanks for the advise. btw why should I go with or without bootloaders on that firmware as I don't know what the difference would be.
U have to have the gb bootloaders in order to run any gb rom. Eclair/ Froyo bootloaders are different from Gingerbread Bootloaders.
