[Q] Confused about how to update to Gingerbread.... - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Okay please forgive me in advance for this post. I am not sure if I am posting it in the right place or not. I am new to this whole forum thing...other than reading them...great help by the way!
Anyways, I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I rooted it earlier so I could remove annoying preinstalled apps. And I did the Fota fix. I am really interested in updating to Gingerbread, but I am confused regarding how. Is there anywhere on here that has step by step directions?? Are the leaks any good? Is there another rom that would be better? And if there is how do i go about putting the Rom on my phone.
Like I said, I know how to root, but my knowledge stops there. lol So sorry to be an annoyance with all the questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

[Q] Rooted Nexus One GRK39F

Hi all,
I'm in need of some help/guidance.
My N1 is rooted with GRJ22, I don't remember how I rooted it. But now, I want to update to GRK39F. How can I accomplish this? I've read a lot of threads, but clearly I'm still in the dark. Some say use bexboot, CWM recovery, but I don't understand all of that. If someone out there can point me in the right direction, I'll be greatly appreciated.
Thanks is advance.

If any more info is needed then i will be happy to post it
OK, i am on the 3 network and have sent an email to LG regarding updating to 2.3 and they say that it is only available in the UK on the T-mobile network, I want to no if i can manually update to 2.3 that is compatible with the UK and my network. If not is there anyway to unlock my phone to make it compatible?
I have already rooted my phone using Gingerbreak
If i can update is there anywhere where i can get download links and a step by step guide that will work on my phone? i have been through many posts that explain things but i still am not to sure whether they will work with my phone, and if the ROM will work with my phone.
If i could get some advice or if someone could point me in the right direction of a post that will help me i would be most grateful!

Ive been stuck at the same point in the process for months

Just follow the instructions in the second link and then get back to the rom flashing. You'll have to judge for yourself (I wouldn't know).

Yes, you do have to do it. The use of the s1tool is a part of the of the same process, so just follow it step by step. The kernel installation is if you are planning to stay of the stock ROM. Since you're going to flash a new ROM, it isn't really necessary.

[Q] n00b help for reverting to stock...

Hi guys,
Hate to be such a wanker, but I'm looking for help with what should be an easy procedure. I've tried looking through the forum for help, but the advice I find seems a little over my head.
When I got my Note 10.1, I rooted and installed cyanogenmod. I didn't really understand what I was doing, but closely followed instructions and everything worked out alright. I now want to revert to stock, but am confused on how to do that. Do I have to download the official file, or do I recover it on the system (I'm in Canada). Do I need to back up my files?
Any online tutorial you can point me to would be great.

[Completed] New to rooting, Cant flash the firmware

Hi guys. Im not going to lie, im a noob when it comes to rooting, so I turned here to ask for help. Now, let me explain my whole issue. Lets start with, i cant unlock my bootloader. I also cant get into flash mode on flashtool which would allow me to downgrade, and and then root my phone from there. So yeah, I cant do anything honestly. I would love it if someone would be kind enough to help me with a step by step instruction guide, or even live assistance?. I already google'd for about 2-3 hours now, and can't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated! @edit: I saw a mod (I think?) post on another thread and say that this isn't the right place to ask. Sorry about this! Im really new to this, but I would love some help!
