[Q] Noob question regarding Builds - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

a while back i flashed Trigger to my phone using odin. Ive been using trigger since and its becoming buggy so i was looking into new ROMs but i was unsure of something. My baseband build is KD1, so does that mean i can only use KD1 builds or what :| Sorry if this facepalm worthy but its been a while since i did any of this. Im also looking for recommendations on what ROM to use next and if there is anything special i need to do when switching ROMs.
Thanks

You can flash any rom but if you flash a gingerbread rom you will need to have the correct bootloaders. Fbis251 has an excellent starter pack that you should check out. Valhalla is the only gb rom I liked. It is good others are equally as good.

The baseband is the modem version like me I'm on Valhalla Final with KD1 modem bc it works for me best so what u wanna do is
Download GB started pack from here

Also download the rom of your choice so follow the instructions of the GB starter pack and you will have Gingerbread with the rom of your choice

I am not sure about the desex mods yet, but the system treats it like a stock touchwiz rom, so yes, full voodoo kg4 kernel support.
UPDATE: I AM ONE STEP CLOSER TO RELEASE, I FINALLY GOT OVERSCROLL WORKING

That is nice, but I am making sure this is a no wipe version, so Anyone with KH1 Installed will have no problem with loss of data and etc....etc...
Hey have any of you guys noticed that on the keyboard after "A" and "S", it is "D""F""G""H", just like KD1, KF1, KF2, KG4, KG6, KH1!!!!
Maybe L will be finall version

there's an explanation why they have these codes. i know for a fact that K = 2011 and the letters after that signifies the month. so H = August. I guess the number is the build number.

Yeah, that's correct. I remembered reading about that on the Vibrant forum. Mind-blowing stuff, lol. The number is the revision though.
KG6, for example, means out was built in July 2011, sixth revision.
patiently awaiting release thanks airfluip for the work put in. Can't wait to test this out

I you are referring to me, why? I just wan't to know.
Is it possible for you to make an Odin version of this rom? It would really save a lot of steps in installing. Right now I can't get the gb bootloaders off the phone and trying to load ICBINB on top of a stock odin results in the phone hanging at bootup. The only way to get CWM on gb is by way of dr. honk's KG4 kernel odined on top of a gb install.
You must have the dr. honk kernel. Then you flash using recovery, then you can reflash the khi kernel.
I'm sorry, I looked inside an odin tar and it must be a bit more difficult to compile those four or five big installation files. A CWM file is easier to mix and match as I found out just now by following the suggestion and sticking the zimage from dr. honk's kernel in whitehawk's deodexed KH1. I thought for sure the phone would freeze but it didnt! That explains the preference for CWM. Maybe I can get a stable gb with CWM on there after all.

You can mix and match using Heimdall. I'm thinking of switching to that instead of using Odin... It's been more reliable in some testing I've done recently, plus it works on other OSes besides Windows.
If you want to flash back to Froyo bootloaders, try this release:

Raver added the bootloaders to it so you can install other Froyo ROMs afterward.

[Req] flashable eh09 themes for stock ROM

Title says it. On eh09 ROM want to find flashable themes or links to them. Anyone know of any?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Wont be able too. Sorry. The ROM generally has be deodexed in order for a theme to work. Stock ROMs aren't in a state that can be themed. If you want to have a theme I would suggest finding a stock deodexed ROM that has themes for it.
This is based on how things have always been. To the best of my knowledge it is still the case.
You've been a lot of help man. I'm super3devo from rootzwiki. I've had problems on other tons with my radio not being recognized. I found a version from.August of cm7 fixed for eh09. I'm worried of I flash it I may lose radio again. Currently I'm on stock eh09 rooted per your flashable zip that u linked to in another thread. Then I have red cwm. I have a decent voodoo kernel that's been good on battery. Just trying to talk myself into flashing cm7. Question though if I flash cm7 and things go bad can I restore a nandroid of eh09 or will the ext4 conversion break that? Leaving me with a need for a full odin repartition and flash back to eh09?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Well the CM7 for EH09 works just fine. And honestly its not too much different than the CM7.1 as far as features go. But if you want to stay on something that is fully functional try out Resurrection or Awesome Sauce. Both are Touchwiz based and have everything working. I personally love the resurrection ROM and would be running it now if I didn't like CM7 so much.
---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 AM ----------
Also anytime you flash any sort of MTD ROM you generally have to Odin back to stock. What I would do is make a backup of you're current ROM. Then if you want to go back Odin back to DI14 with repartition checked. Then Odin EH09 without repartition checked. Then you could restore your backup.
Are u thinking like me that any ROM dependant on the eh09 radio would work?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yeah. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't since that's the radio you have the best luck with.
Currently downloading eh09 heinz57. The one with tw4.5 and all that. Then ill use tks kernel. Wish me luck LOL. Hope I don't kill the radio again, ill have to wait till tomorrow when I have a chance to get to a computer with odin and all my files on it. Hopeing it goes well and works.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
well no matter what rom u flash you'll have to flash the EH09 update first to get the newest radio and boot, but once u do that the sky is the limit...I used to use heinz57 and liked it a lot but a couple months i switched to using MIUI and haven't looked back since...if you like the speed of cm but want some of the mods like heinz has u should head on over to www.miui.us and check it out, i can't say enough good things about it.

Upgrading from froyo/trigger, do I need to flash kc1/kd1 for gb rom

I got sgs4g rooted and installed trigger rom on it and upgraded to bali kernel. I would like to upgrade to gingerbread rom stock that samsung released 2.3.5 and also try a custom gb rom after. Ive been reading a lot and my only question is all posts here say from froyo use one of the two gb roms with bootloaders, to flash gingerbread, then flash back to kc1 or kd1 so I can run cwm and flash gingerbread again. then im set. The samsung release does not state from froyo to do anything else.but flash gingerbread from odin and yer done. So would just odining the gb rom from samfirmware.com just be it? Or would I need to flash ones with boot loaders firat and back to kd1? Or is back to kd1 just for flashing gb rom from cwm which I currently have on cwm. I just want to know if.i should do the bootloader flashing of kc1/kd1 from trigger froyo rooted cwm to get to gingerbread stock or gb rom like octaine or audiophile. Please anyone ? Ive read everything and know the procedure just wondering about if flashong bootloaders... How ppl with straight stock w/o rooy would know to do extra steps or not. Thanks

You're confusing yourself and me. Go the the development section & look for The GB Starter guide by fbis251. Sure, painless, fast way to get on gingerbread.

I will do the kj1 kernel. I did update through keis. Phone calls have no sound unless I press speaker twice, anyone ?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I getting confused by your post. But from what I'm getting, I think you want to know how to downgrade so you can upgrade to KJ6 on Kies. Odin or CWN down to KB5 or KD1 then connect to Kies. Downgrading to KD1 didn't work for me, but downgrading to KB5 did.
Then use SOC 2.2 to root your phone, will hang and fail the first time but will root the second time. As for CWN, you can use dr. hong KJ1 custom kernel but that will downgrade your kernel down to KJ1 from KJ6. If you want KJ6 kernel with CWN, wait for dr. honk.

[Q] New to the infuse forums and suffering from information overload and confusion

New to the infuse forums (so hoping I don't get beat up too much) basically Im trying to Downgrade my brothers infuse from the att ota gb update uclb3 back to froyo or upgrade to a custom gb rom, he is super pissed at me because his phone is super laggy and im the one that updated his phone. Tried to read through stuff but got a lil confused as the title states (I think I got spoiled from the i777 forums) any how if someone can point me to a good guide to follow from rooting to installing a rom or just reverting to stock froyo and a nice stable rom suggestion that would be nice. odin method preferred as i have no experience with heimdall. again appreciate the help and sorry if this is a redundant post (puts on flame retardant suit :angel

Thanks got a little overwhelmed sooo many guides lol. So since he is on the borked att gb already (came with froyo out of the box) guess I'll move on to rooting and installing a custom rom. Thinking of sticking with gb based roms. Taking the kiss approach since my brother is not that tech savvy and my goal is to find the most stable rom for him (his answer to bugs is bro fix this now!!!) Lol he did want ics cause he saw mine but idk how stable the ics roms for the infuse is yet so I got reading to do. Guess he'll just have to put up with att crap a day or two longer.

If you can use heimdall, the simplest way is to put the phone into download mode and flash my uclb3 stock package or adam outler's stock package.
The second post in each op contains the insecure kernel. These kernels are also flashed in download mode. Once these custom kernels are flashed, you can boot into CWM and then flash the custom firmware you want.
If you are familiar with Odin, check out some of jscott30's thread. He has several Odin premade rooted firmware package that are also very nice.
Once you have the firmware you want, Zen has cooked up a few kernels that can overclock at 1400 or 1600. These will provide quite a bit of speed over stock kernels.
