Umm... that's probably because it's meant for froyo bro. If you can still boot into the rom that you were in, add the su fix in the Doctorz rom and then flash it. If not, odin to stock, root FROYO, 3e, gtg community kernel. You know the deal.

If you had really researched it you would have read that SOC won't root the kk3 leak.
The GB roms that you see have been modded or ported.
To root the kk3 leak all you have to do is flash entropy's kernel dated 11/02/11.

Yeah, that was what I was gonna suggest.
I wasn't sure if the OP wanted to stay on stock or go from there to another custom ROM.
I must say..you guys around here are brutal..forgive me if my language on the matter is sub-par...i do understand the concept though...i have flashed back to stock and thanks to super thread been working from there with success....There are a ton of threads regarding this device..I treated it mostly like it was similar to a skyrocket..

I'm sorry, but I'm a total noob with Samsung. I rooted to a particular ROM, but ran into some issues and had to unbrick the phone. Upon doing so, I selected the kk3 leak and then lost root. I used SOC 2.3.3 to try to reroot, but I got stuck at step 7. So I want to try flashing Entropy's kernel as you mentioned. I'm not sure how to do this though. The kernel is in a CWM .zip format, but Odin reads .tar files. Do I unzip the .zip file and then convert to a .tar file? This didn't seem to work when I initially tried it, but perhaps I did something wrong. Any special settings I need to use? Also, do I just need to reboot after I flash it and I will have root? If not, what else must I do?
Sorry again for my lack of understanding. I've been trying to find an answer for hours and have become a little desperate. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

im starting this thread so that everyone can discuss the GB rom that was released to us.
just so everyone knows if you didnt already, the GB rom we were given is not a real release by samsung and has many errors with it.
samfirmware devs made the GB rom compatible with our phone so its a dev build
as of right now we cant us CWM nor can we customize the rom at all
so in personal opinion maybe everyone should stick to froyo with all its mods and tweaks
also flashing the GB rom causes the GB bootloaders which are really i9000 bootloaders to stick even after flashing back to froyo :/ so maybe the noobs should stay away from the rom until the devs finish building it correctly
So if i flashed this am i screwed with the bootloaders even if i oden back to froyo?

You can get the bootloaders back once you flash KC1. Not the deodexed rooted version but the stock one that is with the md5 files.

That's scary to hear! Well I like gb but with the stuff I've been reading, so far to me its not worth dipping your feet in the deep end until a more solid GB is released. I'm always happy to test but the leak GB hasn't been worth it. Just my opinion.

Wow. That's pretty discouraging.
So let me get this straight...
If you flashed the leaked GB Rom at any time you will not be able to enjoy anything else coming out, say, via CWM Recovery?
There's a lot of confusion IMO about this release of GB. I know you'll say, "READ!" Because of how fragmented the information is, do you think it would be helpful to have a compilation of all the known pros and cons, risks and rewards, broken and working components in one stickied post? I would do it, but I'm not sure about everything that is working and not working (and my job could consume any time available to update the post at any moment). I'm using the deodexed version, but I'm walking as if on eggshells with my app usage so as to not break anything (I use it for half personal and half production... I know, illadvised, but could not resist GB).
EDIT: Sorry if there is such a post that I'm suggesting. I just have not seen one. I'm trying to piece together myself what works and what doesn't and the hows.
When I saw how you all were having problems at the very beginning I stayed away and just watched. I'm glad I did. I'm noob.
THANK YOU All for testing people. You saved some of us. Remember that.

Do we have a Odin flashable STOCK KB5 FW somewhere that contains the original boot.bin and sbl.bin files? that really would be the better FW to go with as it was the original that came with the device. Anyone wanna chime in on this theory?
Since I am kind of new, but have flashed a few ROM's to date with no issues, I wanted to ask before I fubar'd something.
Also, I have searched for the answer to this question but I have yet to find a clear cut answer.
When flashing a different kernel to a ROM, I download the kernel in .zip format and place it on my SD. I boot into red recovery. Do I just flash the kernel like I would a ROM with the exception of clearing DATA/CACHE? Same goes for modems?
I appreciate any help anyone is willing to offer.
TIA
Yes or you can get SMS Kernel flasher from the market and not worry about going into recovery unless your flashing a modem or rom
Big Dog Infuse I997 ZEUS rom!!!
Cool, I will try that. Thanks!
Your answer forces me to ask another question in regards to flashing modems.
When/if I need to flash a modem is that when I need to go into red recovery and install zip from SD or is there a special procedure for flashing a modem? If so, I will go looking for the specific instructions.
However, if you cared to post them in a response I would greatly appreciate it.
TIA
Just flash modem from recovery

Guide of Guides
I just went through the process of rooting and roming for the first time and wrote this up for a buddy of mine interested in doing the same. The fact that this is the first time I've done this should be a bit of a warning though. Still, it worked for me.
Here's basically what I did. You might want to read through them all before starting.
Backup manually by mounting your phone to your computer and copying everything you care about
Root
I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444382
From a Mac, I think you can do the same, but flash with Heimdall instead of Odin
Now that you have root, get Titanium Backup from the Market and backup
This is an awesome app, you can also use it to remove the AT&T bloatware, which will really improve your phone

flashing back to eclair as the OP said is probably easier. With 2e recovery, there's no need to modify the 3e recovery file or flash a custom kernel. Just load up cwm.zip on your SD card and flash away.

I don't know that the thing you're looking for exists right now. AdamOutler made a Heimdall-based Froyo one-click, but I don't think there is an Odin-based one.
At the moment, it looks like your choices are to use the Odin-based one-click (by Designgears or Cezar, depending on your bootloader needs), or the Heimdall-based one-click of Froyo.
