what i would do in your case is go to the develpoment section and either flash a v20L official gingerbread update (kdz file, you will find an explanation thread how to flash it in there) or download an official froyo rom from original firmware section.
as far as i know you cant flash roms from PC, only basebands/ official updates and so. you need to flash roms through clockworkmod recovery.
concerning CM7 i use nightly builds. they are constantly updated with new stuff/ fixes etc, so its the very latest version of the rom. experimental mod is something you should not care about . and a stable build is basically a nightly that has been picked as a stable build.
cheers

don't use smartflash, it will format you entire data (sdcard internal). better use KDZ since it won't erase you data only system

Want to update ics

Yes i want to update to ICS. I have previously tried but ended in bootloop.
My current configuration is.
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband 19000XXJVT
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-19000XXJVT-CL617736
[email protected] #Semaphore_1.9.1bm
Can i just go into CWM and install

It depends which ICS Rom you want to use, theres Team Hacksung's ICS Port or One Cosmic's, imo TeamHacksungs one is the better choice, its easier to flash and to me, its slightly faster and more things in the Rom are working, if you want to flash team HackSung's one then just create a backup and flash over your current Rom if you want to use One Cosmics port, then you need to flash it over a Cyanogen Mod base Rom, simply flash a CM7 Rom, factory wipe, then flash the ICS Rom over it
(Be sure to hit the thanks button below the message if i helped)

Problems booting to install Roms

Because some roms are left hanging in the beginning and not booting, my phone is a Huawei U9000 X6, I tested several of the forum but none work properly, now I have Android v2.3.7 and want to do the upgrade to 4.0.
In advance thank you very much.

You gotta remember this ;-
You need kernel 2.6.35.7 for all ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Roms
You need kernel 2.6.32.9 for most GB (Ginger Bread) Roms
Android RC3 runs on 2.6.35.7
I think you should flash RC3 via SUT. Flashing RC3 gives you a stable OS and automatically gives you Clockworkmod so you can boot into recovery and flash any ics rom directly after this or any 2.6.35.7 based GB Rom
For some reason though, on neither kernels, this -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619837 boots for me.
The indicator of wrong kernel is Blue screen on bootup

thank you very much for your valuable help, the problem I think is the kernel that I have now:
kernel: 2.6.32.9.
is there any way I can change the current kernel??

Flashing RC3 automatically gives you the ics kernel.
You can also use CK Kernel 0.4d in dev threads and flash via cwm but it will not work with your current rom

Yes. That should do the trick.
As an alternative, you can still flash GB stock from your manufacturer (most likely .32 kernel).

[Q] Flashing an unlocked Captivate (a StraightTalk device)

Got a friend with a StraightTalk Captivate SGH i897 that is sluggish and driving her crazy, so I want to root and get her on a stable 4.1 or better. Any of you guys have an unlocked version that flash? Should I stick with an AT&T ROM?

Nope. Throw Cyanogenmod on that baby.
GB: CM7
ICS: SlimICS
JB: CM10.1.3
4.2.2 performance wise is the same as 4.1, but you get access to Google Now and a few more tidbits here and there (like the new Clock app)

Thanks for the reply, knew if I was patient someone would chime in.
I poorly worded my question.......I really should have instead asked if I can flash the i897 like any other Captivate? Same root process, etc?

Pretty much. With Samsung device, you don't even have to root it.
1. Get Odin/Heimdall
2. Flash a kernel with CWM
3. Flash Cyanogenmod 7
4. Flash whatever rom you want.

No need to flash CM7. Easy to follow update guide here -> Guide.
I recommend CM10.1.3 Stable as first custom ROM, Android 4.2.2 based.

I find that some kernel don't play well with the Cyanogenmod 9/10/Any other ICS JB roms, especially if they're kernel for AOSP, and the whole BML to MTD process gets a little iffy(it never boots, just constantly reboot to recovery, partitions can't be formatted, mounted partition are always empty). If you're starting from a Samsung ROM's kernel, it goes OK most of the time, but if you start from Semaphore JB or GearKernel or another AOSP kernel, the installation process just skipped the BML to MTD conversion, or screw it up somehow. It may just be me, but doing one extra step can't hurt

The phone in question runs stock ROM. First needs to be updated to GB 2.3.x, than Corn Kernel + CM10.1 Stable will update it to JB 4.2.2. No need to flash another GB-based ROM after the stock GB. CM10.1 Stable installation process has no issues with Corn Kernel. Tested many times.

Android 4.0.3 ICS on Samsung Galaxy S

I would appreciate knowing if someone has installed Android 4.0.3 ICS on a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000, and I would like to get their opinion on Android 4.0.3 ICS for the Galaxy S GT-i9000 ?
Does the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 have enough RAM for Android 4.0.3 ICS?
Thank You

Hello
I think yes, but a really long time ago. Now the Galaxy S works pretty well with Android Kitkat. Take a look at Slim Roms and CyanogenMod roms
I use Slimkat and it works really well.

To avoid bricking my GT-i9000 I would appreciate knowing;
MODEL: GT-I9000
BUILD NUMBER: GINGERBREAD.XXJVU
FIRMWAREVERSION: V 2.3.6
BASEBAND VERSION: I9000XXJVU
1.) Does any ROM I want to install on a Baseband Version I9000XXJVU have to be JVU.
2.) Can any JV Rom be installed, for example a JV4 Rom?
3.) Can a JW4 Rom be installed on a Baseband Version I9000XXJVU ?
4.) Will the gapps-kk-20140105.zip install with a cm-11-20131203-UNOFFICIAL Kit Kat 4.4-galaxysmtd.zip or a cm-Mackay_ROM_4.9.14.zip?

As long as both roms don't already come with Gapps packages built in the rom, the gapps you have will work on either.

Yes - unofficial roms tend to come with JVU bundled in by default. Even if they don't this can be easily changed using flashable modem files in the development section

You don't have to install Gapps but without them you won't be able to use the Play Store to download apps.
Of course, if you don't need Play Store either then you can juse use a rom without any gapps and sideload any apps you need.
In case you do want Play store but don't want any other apps, I'd say this Gapps package is worth a look
