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.

Not sure but again you can Odin Dr honks modified kernel to get root and cwm. They are in the dev section.

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.

You guys should have no problem using Drhonks cwm kernel with this. Just open up the rom zip using 7zip and replace the zImage in the update folder with drhonk's. DONE.

Since this is flashed through CWM, he would need root for it. Tell your friend to refer to the bible. It's all you need to know.

airfluip1, we all thank you for the work you do but I don't think it's a reasonable request to ask people not to post something they spent a day on just because you spent a day doing the same thing.
Maybe in the future you could post ahead of time and people can work together on things.

Why would you wan't to go to Froyo. Other than for warranty reasons?
Here is the link. Thank god I remember one of ravers first posts when we had bad gb boot loaders with out recovery. He was "hacking" boot loaders and trying to add recovery command. Well, he failed, and in order to get froyo bls back, he posted a big link to the original KC1 leak, which happened to contain the original KB5 trough KD1 boot loaders. I extracted those and am currently uploading them. Give the link 5 minutes to let the link up.

You the man. Thanks. The reason I would be going back to stock is because I might sell it and the person buying wants it stock. Trust me I tried for an hour to tell him why GB was better but if he buys it thats what he wants. Thanks again

Hey guys, shoild i use voodoo lagfix
And how to install only the lagfix NOT with thw kernel
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
voodoo lagfix will convert your file system to ext4 and make your phone faster. It is built into the kernel though, so there is no way to install it without installing the custom kernel that includes it.
Not sure what you mean by thw kernel, but most custom kernels that include voodoo lagfix also include cwm recovery.
So what's the risk of flashing a kernel

Aslong as you are on Gingerbread, you can use Kernel flasher to flash that kernel. That would be the recommend kernel, if not the only one really.

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
