Step 1. Read
Step 2. Read
Step 3. Read
Step 4. Don't post threads asking how to root and rom when there are countless threads already covering this exact topic
Step 5. Read
Step 6. Use the Hack kit
I think you got lost at Step 1

Just did super one click root and wondering if I can install roms from rom manager now. Inspire root was so much more crazier.

Of course everyone is going to have a difference of personal opinion, but if you're looking for a solid ROM try Infused 2.2.3

Actually gtgs Tom in Tom manager is the only one you can flash without hellraiser

I suggest that you go to the dev section. There was only a couple of roms that were downloadable using rom manager. But now that he's moved to a new phone, he may have removed it.
Cranky...
My main question is am I able to do custom roms now just by doing super one click. On the inspire I had to create a gold card and took 20 mins to root. This took 5 mins or less lol

Not quite, you also need to install mod 3e recovery, and clockwork mod.
Easiest way (for me) is to odin uckd5 stock + root + 3e recovery (just follow link below), then download rom manager or whatever any other way you want to install custom rom.

1. Root - Best to use Super One Click (Find in Dev section)
2. Replacing Recovery file with Root Explorer app. (Free @ 4shared.com)
3. Download Rom Manager in the Market. (Free). In the app, Click flash ClockWorkMod Recovery and select Galaxy S i9000.
4. Shop for Roms in the Dev section and follow steps.
If you do your research in the dev section, you will be fine but you must follow step by step!

For future reference Adam outler packaged the defuse (froyo) kernel into a one click heimdall package, you can find it in the same thread as the one click uckj4 GB ROM heimdall.
The defuse one is for froyo and will root you and has cwm baked in. all you need is Java (any operating system) the heimdall backend (link in the Java app to install it) and on windows you need drivers (you already have them)
You may need to open the jar file from command line depending on the OS but its pretty easy.
I'm not having a major issue but it's something that in the excitement of being rooted and flashing my first ever ROM, I completely forgot to do.
Would it be possible to flash the stock rom exactly as I had it once I finished rooting the phone? I don't want to use it but just want a back up of everything exactly stock before I went ROM crazy. Any help would be much appreciated.

I will answer in two parts...first of all you should have posted you question in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213167, wich is actually related to stock roms. Anyway, you can use several methods to return to stock, but you will loose the root access, although you can root it again using the Hack Kit. Check this link, posted in the general section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385016
The other two ways to return to stock is using the Hack Kit to revert or Gene Pole's tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
And of course, you have many roms that are the stock rom with no bloat and deoxed....Please, next time before opening a thread search the forum. All the information is available, you just have to look for it....
After you root the phone with Advanced Ace Hack Kit do a NAND Backup from recovery.
If you already flashed a custom rom without backing up your stock rom, how would you now expect to backup something that doesn't exist anymore?

Thank you all for the replies. I figured I would have to return to stock via the aahk, but imagined there being a rom that's exactly the same as when you finish running the kit.
Since I'm about to return to stock, should I format my SDcard before running the hack kit?

Formatting the sdcard is not a must but in some cases helps speeding the process...
check the roms available in the development forum there are a couple of stock roms without bloatware...that might help you and you wont have to revert your phone back to stock....

Please anyone can help me in Upgrading my Milestone XT720 indian version to CyanogenMod 7???
Will i require default ROM for this and if yes where will i get it????
Watch a video tutorial on YouTube

Can you provide link for video?????
You can search on youtube because I think there's more then one video. Just search "reverend xt720". U need to search the forum before posting. It will upset the mods if information you require is already posted in the forum. Can't teach you how to flash. Sorry bud

there are no videos for upgrading to cm7. If anyone finds please post it.
I don't their are any .
Just read the forms and study them until you do stay on stock.
Sent from my XT720 using xda premium
Well thanks for the info. I was referring to flashing and tips for noobs. I would suggest u learn from scratch incase you're not happy with cm7. All info is in forum. Some roms you restore from nandroid and others you simply update. All is done through open recovery and bootloader.

Spent some time for the following:-
1. Go through the video in youtube on flasing sbf using rsd lite, you can look for reverendkjr. So just in case, we screwed up, we know how to flash back.
2. Go through the posts on rooting, installing open recovery.
3. Go through the posts on ROMS and read all the posts, so you could know the risks and failures. The first post on every thread will explain the steps.
4. Good luck.
Can anyone suggest which is the best cm7 rom for my phone?

Ultimately what I am trying to accomplish is to install SlimBean ICS on my friends Froyo Galaxy. (I am a Motorola Guy)
From my understanding you need to go to Ginger first. Easy enough, use Kies.
Next I need to install CM, this is where I am getting lost. Do I need to install 7 (GB) before I can install 9 (ICS)?
How do I install CM on this device? Totally lost because there are so many extra steps.
Lastly there is install SlimBean once CM is installed which is easy enough via CWM.
First question is, are you using a Galaxy or Galaxy S 4G? They're different.
Second, skip KIES, use a one-click. Flash once, reboot, Linda, Flash with bootloaders.
Then you can move on to the fun of ICS.
Please remove the battery from the phone and verify that the model for the phone is either
SGH-T959V
or
SGH-T959W
Those are the only phones the files on this forum are meant for! Reply with the model here so we can direct you to the right forum if your friend's phone is different than the Galaxy S 4G

This should get you on GB and rooted with a custom recovery. I believe at this point you can just flash slim bean ICS.
Always make sure you have another ROM you can flash to if the one you want doesn't work. Also make sure you have a backup

After using the One Click Heimdall just get to recovery. If you have cwm 5 then you're good to go, just flash the ROM. Search our wiki on how to get to recovery.

Thanks everyone for all the help and clarification. His phone is making me really appreciate how easy flashing a ROM on my phone is even with a locked bootloader.
