Does anyone have these or know where i may get them? i want to flash through Odin but you have to use a PIT file, right? i know people have tried to use the original Vibrant PIT and have bricked so obviously i'm not going to do that. Many thanks.
Use whitehawkx's deodexed kd1 it works perfectly and is already rooted and is READY for CWM

That's what i was going to flash. So do i not need the PIT file? i'm new to this and especially Odin so i wanna get everything right

No you do not need a PIT file. Many have messed up their phones using the wrong pit file. There is another thread that says he created a PIT that works for the SGS4G, But you don't need a PIT, infact most instructions state do not check repartition on ODEN. Check here to see how to use ODEN. CWM is now working check the DEV page for information on using that.
Ok. I flashed without the PIT and NANDROIDed back. I lost too much to bother with it. Especially until there is and app that has a one-click restore feature for app backup

You can use titainum backup to Backup your Apps. Go to the Market on your phone and get Titanium Backup and install it. It has a batch program to backup your Apps.
I know. I backed up with that and App Monster but there isn't a one-click restore option

Read This. This might help you understand better.
ROMs are typically released in deodexed form because they can be themed and modified fairly easily, whereas theming/modifying an odexed ROM is basically impossible (at best things would crash like crazy). Some people also choose to release their ROMs in odexed versions for people who would prefer the performance gains.
Helpful for sure. So it's easier to add mods. Jeez does that make it easier to modify the rom. sorry i have to ask this here because well you know. I don't want mister clown to chop my head off. So i will let you. Flame on!!

That I know / understand now! So, won't have that question anymore. In the adb shell command I see it is referring to ext3. I flashed voodoo lagfix injected kernel and somewhere I read it changes it to ext4 or something like that ..is it something I need to watch at least or it doesn't matter too! Also, do you know any other method to deodex? Like through a root app...

Only things on the S 4G dev section can be used. Vibrant Roms will brick your phone.
Use Krylons CWM not Rom managers
Before you do anything.... if you brick your phone (e.g - bootloop, brick screen, etc.), DO NOT freak out. You will most likely be able to fix it. Just search for Odin and use that to get your phone back to normal.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
Check out the Bible. I recommend you check out the Odin flashing guide, then pick out an Odin ROM from the Bible.
Once you have root, you can install CWM and then you can start trying out some of the CWM ROMs. Fun fun. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong you can always just post back. Don't forget to make a backup of anything you don't wanna lose (right now that'd be pretty much just your SD Card)
Thanks for the great info. One more question, is the i9000 the same as the galaxy s 4g?

Step one, search for the gb starter pack, fbis251 was the op in that thread. follow it to the t.
Then, use odin to flash bhundvens kj6 kernel with voodoo and cwm
Now read around and learn to flash via cwm.
Lastly Install valhalla final either regular or black version (i like black imo)

If so I had trouble installing it. I'm not sure what method works. The only method that worked so far is here [[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]] But its not the Rom I wanted.. I want to install the latest cyanogenmod

I recommend going to this link: http://shortfuse.org/?p=193 - to download SuperOneClick v2.3.3 as it is the current version and not attached in the link above. However, you should go to the link above and read up on SuperOneClick. I have not heard of any risk involved with SuperOneClick as long as you read and follow directions. And BE PATIENT with it.

You can't use the debloater w/o cwm, which requires a custom kernel

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
Redd I know you want to try and help but that is not even close. This guy is looking for an easy way to root.
Alex you can either follow Lumins link for root or learn to use ODIN or Heimdell to flash a kernel that has root and clock work mod. I know this is a lot to take in. CWM has many advantages over simply rooting your phone. Such as custom ROMS that already have most bloat removed thereby freeing up tons of space. Either way you decide to go just read whatever you can and be patient with the learning curve.

Thank you all! Thanx Lumin30... it worked great... only question I have is what's the easiest way to uninstall bloatware? I tried using ex file explorer because it stated in the app market that it has a feauture to uninstall sys apps whenever rooted but it clearly doesnt.
THANX SO MUCH!

People have their favorites. I use System Rom Toolbox from the market. I find it easier than TB and others. When you go into 'Remove System Apps' hit menu and select 'All System Apps'.

You can still follow my debloater for reference (Click on the link in my forum signature).
I recommend you use a CWM kernel anyway since you'll have ext4 support which should give your phone a nice speed boost too.
