quick question here, how much is Samsung galaxy S right now? cant seems to find them in garage sale, how much is ap or ori?

Hi guys! I will get my SGS tonight, already own a SE x10i, rooting at x10 is so much easier, but in SGS, everything is so confusing , even after I read all the post at 1st,2nd,3rd,4th....... posts, I am still confuse , I only know something about 3 button combo, Odin, Talon, and some minor stuff, anyone mind to give me a short an easier explanation on:

1. How to root phone?
2. Which is the best recommended custom ROM?
3. Which is the best recommended custom kernel?

Wish someone can help me by providing step by step.


edit: and mine is AP set, I heard that you have to do some extra steps to get updated with KIES if using AP set, is it true?

thanks for the reply!

so that means a stock ROM with custom kernel is recommended?

mind to explain to me what is odin? afaik, it is a software in your pc, right? is it to install kernel?

thanks! I've check your signature too about how to flash ROM using Odin, 1 more thing, how about lagfix? which one is it?

I see! thanks! last question, how do I root my phone? simply flash a custom kernel? that's it? I saw there's a program called SuperOneClick Root method, it is recommended to use that way to root? or is there are other methods? and I can flash the custom kernel without plugging in usb to my pc right?

thanks for the advice! so that means no need root, straight away use odin and flash the kernel, right?

thanks alot!! anyway, what precaution should I aware of so that I will not brick my phone?

where can I get stock GB for odin? it's a file right?

even if it is out, it would be very very expensive!!! imagine if they manage to patent it for themselve, world leading battery producer like Duracell will be in deep trouble!

thanks alot boss!!!!

fuh.... at least someone reported positive feedback, not I am less worried!

half more hour to complete XXJVT!! hope I know how to flash it!

wow!!! just right after I checked your threat at xda, you appear here! the Lord has spoken!

guys, I've finish download and extracted XXJVT and here's are the files that I unzip

CODE_I9000XXJVT_CL617736_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000XXJVT_REV_00_CL1064602.tar.md5
GT-I9000-CSC-HOME-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5
s1_odin_20100512.pit

I know that PIT file is put into pit and that CSC file is put into CSC slot, but how about the rest one? where to put? and why there are 2 CSC file? Multi and home CSC files, which one to choose?

thanks for the reply!! Now I'm scare that if I follow your method, later got wifi problem

maybe I should replace it with Home-Multi?

GT-I9000-CSC-HOME-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5 to replace CSC – GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5 in Odin??

are you sure about this?

and is the bootloader is already included in this firmware?
