It's not that complicated:
Download your ROM from this nice list:

Here's a nice How-To for Updating:

Download a rooted Kernel for your ROM version and flash it as PDA

If you strictly follow given instructions rooting your phone is quite safe. But you should know that you guarantee will be void.
Dude right now Im just rooting l8r wid roms! Nywayz thanks a lot for ur help!

perhaps you mean flashing by odin?
this is md5: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5
anyone can brick their phone if they do something horribly wrong, like flashing an i9000 rom on their i9003
congratulations on making the big leap into customization!
Thanx man!
But just rooting and installing cwm won't brick it right?

most likely, but I don't use kies for anything, not even backing up files. I do that simply by making a copy of whatever I want to save and putting it on my computer via the sd card.
Don't use KIES! A simple file backup to your computer and a backup created with titanium backup on your sd card that can be simply saved on your computer are by far enough to save your files, apps, app data like settings as well as system settings.
If you what you go a step further you can create a nandroid backup, or image, however this is called. Imagine this as a system image that can be restored in case of boot loop, etc.
My Phone Explorer is also a very good piece of software. Can replace the contact editing functions of KIES. It is also able to make you phone calling contacts, writing SMS on your computer with your phone. It can edit your calendar, create notes, browse, run and install apps, browse all files on your phone that are acessable without root.
Guys i don't use kies to backup! I mainly use it for connecting and transferring data like apk's!
Guys any help? I followed all instructions but it did not root! Instead now wen i power it on it shows me a phone and computer with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark between it! Is my phone bricked? I can't boot into download mode as well as recovery mode! Pls help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pull out battery and restart phone again normally. If it start then try to go to recovery or download mode.

Take out battery, sim card and memory card

Hey Guys...
I Have a Concern that I would Like Help with... I am Trying to Install / Restore My Friends Galaxy S 4G to Stock but Once I get Past the FactoryFS and Etc I Get a Fail When it's Time to Write (which is what it states)
Now, I'm a Dev Assistant and a Tester So I Know How to Get Around but Samsung is a bit Harder as it Needs to Be Done via Odin
Any Info on to What Might be Causing this or as to What I Can do to help him resolve this... Every time I Try to Turn on the Phone Now I get the Recovery Menu... I Guess Since Odin was Unsuccessful @ the Writing Point?
I'm Sorry but I'm Lost Here... Thanks In Advance for the Help!
There is a thread up top labelled noobs guide to flashing. It has the stock rom link available.
You will need to run Odin before next step.
You will put the phone into download mode.
Do this by holding down the power up and power down button as you plug in the usb cable.
Your phone should recognize ODIN.
Follow the steps in the Noobs guide to flashing on how to load the files into ODIN.
It is very simple because you dont change any settings in ODIN. You leave it how it is and it really makes flashing back to stock pretty easy
Let me know if you have any questions.

Try different usb slot
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
So I actually have a similar problem but I get a FAIL every time I go through the process. Here is what I have tried:
1) Tried to root with ODIN and sent my phone into an endless boot with funky colored dots after boot screen. Apparently i failed.
2) Tried flashing with ODIN KD1 deodexed rom referenced in another xda thread about how to unbrick a galaxy s 4g. This quickly sent up the FAIL box in red in ODIN and then my phone was solidy bricked -> black screen with an arrow from a cell phone to a computer.
3) Used the One-click unbrick tool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252#post15330252
4) This one-click too solved my black screen problem but now i'm back to the endless boot. I can still enter into download mode but not recovery.
I have been working on this all day without any luck, so I hope someone is willing to help. Thanks

You will not need to enter recovery only download so that is ok.
Make sure you have the correct drivers for your phone installed on your computer. Also make sure you have ODIN running before you enter download mode.
I have had instances in the past where I had to reinstall ODIN and restart my computer before it would flash as well.
Let me know if you have any questions or need to know what files I use.
So I think I have the correct drivers installed on my computer but I could be wrong I suppose. The computer seems to recognize my phone fine so I think it's OK. Is there anyway to double check this?
I'm also not sure if I'm using the proper rom for flashing in ODIN. Thanks for offering to help.

If it is recognizing the phone it should be alright.
I would personally use [ROM-ODIN]T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root which can be found in ALL ROMS thread in dev section.
Once you have it downloaded take all the previously mentioned steps.
Run Odin... download mode.... etc.
Dont change any of ODINS settings.
Go down Odins list and upload the files to the correlating places. If it does not work PM me and we will figure out whats happening.
Trying this now. Thank you so much for your help.

KB5 is good, but i would recommend raver's KC1. it will clean up all problems that have accumulated from the bad flashes.
So I already flashed KB5. I would like to upgrade the phone to 2.3.5 if possible now, or is this a bad idea with all the bad flashes?

So I did a little more homework and it appears that I need to flash something like KG4 through ODIN? Once I have done this I can flash Valhalla, which appears to be the most popular/stable release.
just search for fbis251's GB start pack. that is all you need to follow. read the whole op first before doing anything.

Even if your phone is shown the "Phone---!---PC" screen .. ODIN should still recognize it being attached to your computer .. My first SGS2 Skyrocket did this in which I was able to reflash back to stock using ODIN v1.85 .. however, my first SGS2 took a real crapper for some reason .. that even the USB JIG was unable to get the phone into Download Mode.
I now have a replacement in which I'm being REAL careful with .. LOL

Morning y'all... having a similar problem... I was rooted but for some reason when in Recovery I'd only get Android Recovery??? I got CWM installed using ODIN (This is the tread I used... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526) . Then I went and tried to install miuiscotland_I9100-2.1.13... said install was complete... went to reboot from CWN... and nothing.
I tried pulling battery, going into recovery, download mode, the jig... and nothing... doesn't even look like it's charging... no spark at all?
So I have no phone as it stands right now.
Any comments, suggestions, hints, tips, tricks?

You are hard bricked. You flashed a i9100 rom over a i727 device.
Only advice I can give is drop it in the toilet if you have insurance on the phone and get a replacement, or call your carrier's warranty department and tell them your phone just stopped working (not particularly ethical and you could get caught if they figure out it was rooted, but worth a shot...).
Oh, and the other advice is NEVER flash roms meant for devices other than the Skyrocket. Roms meant for the original S2 will brick your phone.

No need for a jig here (though it is good to have one anyways). If you get the "firmware upgrade failed" screen, just plug the phone in and if Odin sees your phone you can flash the stock tar. The "failed" screen won't look like it's doing anything but after Odin finishes you will be back to stock and life will be good again.
I was updating my Galaxy R to the STOCK Taiwan 2.3.6 rom, when there was a power cut at my place. My comp switched off, and the device did too. It gave me an error like "There was an error with the firmware update", and now it wont even start up

As I understand you need to unbrick your phone by entering APX and not reset the counter using USB Jig.

Firstly tell me these things in a clear & concise manner:
- ROM & kernel that were in use before you were flashing the stock ROM?
- Did you enable/disable (tick/untick) anything in Odin by mistake other than that was in the guide ?
- Does your windows show APX driver required when connected to the PC?
- Does you handset go into the download mode after trying to unbrick it using the method mj.vikram gave you ?

remove battery, plug the phone to computer while pressing vol up and power to see if computer recognize it, if it does, flash again via kdz
after reflash, restart and w8 for the phone to boot, it will take some minutes to boot, just be patient

Hi guys,
yesterday I put evoking (android 4.2.1) on my phone, and I wanted to change it, so I've installed ROM Manager..
After that, I've rebooted on recovery, but, the phone shows only the lg's icon..
So I tried to unbrick this whit KDZ (using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314) and, I tried all the possibility, but it still not working. Now, it does not turn on!! Can you help me please?

Hey bud,
its simeple.
even i faced the same issue once. Just reboot the mobile and while booting go to the recovery mode (home+vol up + powerbutton). tere u can reinstall the rom. try ICy/PAC MAN. it works beautifully. remember to keep this rom zip file in SD card while rebooting.

If you removed the battery after unsuccessful kdz flash, then your phone is hard bricked and you need to go to LG
