This is all u need
or just install the Kg4 kernel via Odin or Cwm and your rooted (Kernel DrHonk KG4)

The link above is outdated...
If you're familiar with odin you can flash Dr.Honks kg4 stock kernel and be rooted.

[Q] Odin Bootloader Anyone???

I have been looking everywhere for a bootloader to flash to my SGS 4g via Odin, can anyone help me?
P.S. would a SGS Vibrant bootloader work on it because I have found one of those?
Thank you for your time,
Chad
i don't know much about bootloaders but WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT FLASH THAT VIBRANT BOOTLOADER, IT WILL BRICK!

Don't think that Superoneclick will root gingerbread. Dr honks modified gb kernels will auto root and give you cwm.

Nowadays I tend to only check here twice a day. Busy busy days now. =/.
But Chad, to answer your question, if you're gonna root, you might as well try out some of the custom gingerbread roms we have on this forum. There are Audiophile, valhalla and ICBINB. There are differences to all of them so make sure you read up on which you might wanna flash.
Superoneclick can't root our phones on Gingerbread, so you'll need to flash a custom GB kernel as Exodian recommended.
If you want you can follow my GB starter pack guide from step 7 on so you can prepare your phone for having ext4 and a gingerbread rom of your choice without issues.

Dman,
Is it safe to assume this is just the release version without the ZEUS toggles, faster charging, cool boot animation etc? If so, I will wait for the Zeus update.

No you don't have to root if you want stock gingerbread. Use Kies mini. We don't have ICS yet. To flash Valhalla you will need to root and a custom kernel. Look at the guide in the first link of my signature.

So, flashing to gingerbread is less risky than rooting and flashing to Valhalla... Can you give me the link for the guide to upgrade to gb?

Then you are out of luck. Most of the files were hosted on megaupload affiliate's and when it went down so did the files.
Make sure your contacts are backed-up on your sdcard/google and upgrade to gingerbread you will be happier.

Why are you keeping yourself stuck on Froyo? You prefer being 3 years behind?
Use the link provided by eollie, its the best out their.
My advice, go to gingerbread as it has better drivers, kernel, signal, and a much bigger application /market support. use the link provided above, Don't forget to Thank eollie
