The bootloaders on stock Gingerbread ROMs are already unlocked, to the best of my knowledge. If you're still on Froyo, just find a region-appropriate stock GB ROM on SamFirmware.com.

I know that there are new bootloaders, so will that be a problem? how do I flashing back to stock after going to GR-12? Thanks and sorry if this is a repost!

I would like to know this as well!
read ANY instruction on flashing gingerbread
EVERY SINGLE ONE tells the SAME WAY to get back to Stock!
for the canadian, read my stock rom link in my sig.
it uses the SAME method to return to stock bootloaders but then flashing the rogers rom on top. READ INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
but GINGERBREAD bootloaders work fine with ANY stock rom,
there is no reason to flash stock bootloaders, only the stock rom if possible. and it is possible.
its all in the instructions.
Wasn't sure about how bootloaders would work for stock. Thanks.

Hello to everybody.I have a Hybrid 2.0 XXJVR Rom and Galaxian EE kernel and i want to test F1 Galaxy S2-SP1 Rom which is based on XXJVQ.Do i have to install XXJVQ to test it or is done from XXJVR straight away?Thanks in advance!!!
If you want to use a custom rom that is gingerbread, you need to be running gingerbread for the bootloader. Same for FroYo.
Gingerbread > gingerbread
Froyo > froyo

so are you saying that i can?because in the F1 post says to flash XXJVQ rom first.Thanks for the reply!
If the post says to flash a certain firmware first, do it. The dev knows best.

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.

Hi,i'm a noob and i don't understand this thing about bootloaders. I have successfully flashed to CM9 (9.1.0 captivatemtd), now i feel like updating to [ROM/MOD] 4.1.1~Jellybean~AoCP CP3~The Collective, but it says it needs Gingerbread bootloaders? prior to flashing to cm9 i had the rogers gingerbread update for my captivate. At the moment i have CM9 (9.1.0) with devil kernel, so how do i get a gingerbread bootloader?or do i already have it?
U have the i896 GB Bootloaders now, since u were updated to Rogers GB firmware before. So u should be good to go.

but since i changed the kernel and i flashed the cm9 9.1.0 rom (i followed the how to flash any rom including ics tutorial btw), wouldn't have my bootloaders have changed?
Not unless u specifically flashed the i897 gb bootloaders in that guide.
And not unless u went and flashed a stock firmware that contains bootloaders.
Bootloaders are not contained in kernels...Or Dev Roms. Just in Stock firmware (unless it states no bootloaders).

i had at one point odin superclicked to stock gingerbread with at&t bootloader and then after with this info
"2.3.3 STOCK! from rogers no changes. DO NOT USE .PIT FILE WITH THIS STOCK! if you need to repartition use 2.2 with pit file then upgrade to 2.3.3 with NO PIT FILE!!!
ALSO, IT CONTAINS BOOTLOADERS!! necessary to upgrade to gingerbread!
this is THE FILE keis used.
The rom below will NOT fix an ATT bootscreen issue, rogers did not change their params.lfs partition so it is not in the rogers keis update. To FIX ATT Bootscreen flash THIS FILE in odin PDA box before or after 2.3.3 stock"
it was a one-click odin again, then from this i went to ics... so am i still ok or should i do something else to make sure?
U r good to go. U have the i896 GB Bootloaders. U can proceed. :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
could you just explain how i could get other bootloaders and what the point is in changing bootloaders?
To run a Gingerbread firmware u need the GB Bootloaders (as opposed to eclair/froyo boots). And gb bootloaders are backwards compatible...u can run froyo or eclair firmware with them. Also once u have them u don't need to worry about flashing any bootloaders again because of the reasons just stated. And as well Roms such as ICS, JB, CM, etc. may require u to have the gb boots as part of their installation requirements.
If u want the i897 GB Bootloaders, see TRusselo's Guide that is a stickied thread in the q & a forum. He has a link in the OP.

Hi,
I am new to rooting and rooted my t-mobile tab sgh-t849 today using superoneclick. I am still at Android 2.2 and want to flash a an upgraded rom. Can I flash any ROM which is available for tab in this forum? If not, suggest me some roms. Also, let me know how to flash a rom. I have downloaded ODIN but don't know how to use it.
Yes you can flash any ROM that is for P1000.
You may want to start with overcome method put custom recovery into your tab. All custom roms are flashed from cwm recovery.
