[Q] What allowed to do and what not to do? when Porting Vibrant Roms To SGS4G

Hi guys
I wont to try flashing ROM's from Vibrent to S4GS and I don't wont to BRIK my phone like I did before :-(
What I need to replace from the Vibrent Phone ROM to success?
For example how not to destroy the bootloader?
files like: ZImage or Modem.bin
I looked on this thread and its not enough elaborate
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099454&page=16
Thanks!
I suggest letting the developers handle that. I don't know much, but i'm guessing you have to replace alot of stuff in the vibrant rom in order for it to work on our phone. Just wait for MIUI man!
If you think that's not elaborate I'd let someone else do the porting.
theres alot of things not only replaced but need to be modified to work from a vibrant rom to a 4g rom trust us if it was just as simple as replaceing a few files lol i would have ported every rom to the sgs4g in like 40 mins
hince why u dont see alot of ports and the ports we do have in progress are takeing some time
give us time if there is a rom in pitictualr u would wish to have drop us a line we can look into it... please note that doesnt mean flood us every 5 mins about it thanks ( i only say that cause i have had it happen more then once).

Complete newbie to android :/ Need help w/ rooting and stuff

Hi guys,
as i said in the title im completely new to all this. My mum has a desire s and i think the sense software is rubbish..hence i want to install MIUI. I have an iPhone which was extremely easy to JB and ive been searching around for help rooting/flashing an MIUI rom to the Desire S but damn it looks complex :| and im being extra cautious because its my mum's phone and i dont want to brick it.
After searching im still confused..
Do i need to root to flash MIUI?
If so, how? Can i use this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100 Is there anything i need to do before and/or after I use this method?
Also, this is the MIUI rom i've found..http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?2543-ROM-HTC-Desire-S-(saga)
It says the kernel is included in the download, but does that require a seperate installation?
Can someone help me please? Been looking around for days and just not getting it :/
Help will be greatly appreciated!
Sorry, I don't want to sound rude , but , have you checked the first couple of pages here on Q&A ? There are at least a couple of threads with similar querries ....
Plus, there's INDEX (with everything you require) for help , as always !
I'd suggest you read more , before even thinking of S OFF or Rooting!
Best of luck ....
i dunno about your 1st question but once u "jb" ur android, the kernel will be in the same zip so that when u flash the rom, u chg the rom and also the kernel. u will need to flash "gapps" as well if the is no play.market app.
as for your question 1 i use a different method so i cant comment on that.
but do be reminded to do each step and tick it off slowly once u done. DO NOT skip/miss a step. I actually took 2 days 2 nights reading through before rooting it, and i still made a mistake(as i was in a hurry for class, wrong timing for rooting). but once u read through the doing part will be quite fast. next thing u know u can flash different roms when ever ur mom gets bored of her phone interface.
try flashing different rom before and see which is faster and slicker.
try getting a "aokp" rom, it give u more to configure around. miui doesnt have a drawer and it looks alot like an iphone interface if that is what ur mom wants.
