Flash GB - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

My phone is rooted and I'm going to get CWM soon. Once I get that can I flash straight to a Gingerbread rom? Or do I have to update to gingerbread OTA first before I can flash a gingerbread rom? New to android and smartphones in general.
Thanks!

Software Question

So I have 2.2.1 and I was wondering is it possible just to update it to 2.3.2 without downloading a rom or rooting it? I like it the way it is. And is there also a way to recover the Inception file??

how are you going to install a 2.3.2 rom if you don't want to download it?
besides, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 are the newest gingerbread roms.
Gb isn't out for stock yet your gonna have to wait if u don't want to root and rom

[Q] Best Odin Rom Should I Flash ?

I think the KG4 leak is the one that has the gb bootloaders... BUT! to be save, look for the GB Starter Pack thread made by FBis251 (or something very close) that has worked for me to upgrade from froyo to gb and many others. Hope I helped!

All of the leaks have GB bootloaders.
If you're just planning to have a 100% stock odexed ROM, then you should go for the newest KJ1 ROM.
If you're just asking this to see which GB ROM is the best, you should shoot yourself in the foot, cause you could probably find at least 3 recent threads on that topic.
I'm looking around in the forums and you're spending very little time in searching and trying to understand.

And yes, Stable. I havent had any FCs or Crashes at all yet...

I followed the process to ODIN KG4
then used recovery mode to flash Valhalla (Via Zip) from SD card
You have to read the GB Starter Pack and begin there in order to get the proper bootloaders for GB. Then you can simply flash Valhalla.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but the kh2 version I provided has bootloaders in it already, just Odin it and go. I flashed it right from froyo.

Rom Question

I am a noob so yeah....
I have bwen rooted for a little while and had A question on roms.
When we get the fixed gb update and I update while I have a rom will it take me back to stock or will I have to flash stock to update?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Any new ROM, unless its an update specific to your ROM made by your ROM maker, it is nearly always recommended to clean flash it (need not go to stock).
Just wait til the update is implemented in the ROM. Done.

[Q] Going from Jelly Bean to GingerBread

I need help im tired of jellybean. Theres too many things not working for me and i want to go back to GingerBread. I try to flash GingerBread roms but it just brings me back to CWM recovery. Is there a way to go back or im stuck on jellybean. I even tried to flash an Icecream Sandwich rom but it just brings me back to CWM recovery. My recovery is 6.0.2.8.
You probably should just one-click to stock and start from there.

I don't think you can downgrade from an mtd ROM if you were using one. I think you will have to return to the stock 2.3.6 first, and then flash another ROM if you would like.

That means you were using an MTD ROM before, so you have to restore to stock. There's an easy way to do with the Heimdall One-Click
OK thanks guys I'll try that and give you feedback
