Ive been looking and can't find an answer to this question, though I'm sure it exists somewhere.
When I flash a rom (this will be my first, from stock 2.1 planning to go to bionix v) do I need to flash the rom and then boot into the os, and then back into cwr to flash a modem, then boot again, and then back into cwr to flash a kernel. Or is this all done in one process?
If just one process how do I get the build I want together as one zip? If this the rom builder in the bible?
Last but not least.....what build (rom, modem, kernel) would you guys recommend for going from stock 2.1 that is stable, fast, smooth, and sweet?
Thanks in advance. XDA has taught me everything I know. (which isn't much but is growing everyday)

Root your phone then install rom manager. Download Bionix-V and place it on the main directory of your internal sd card. Then open rom manager and boot in to recovery. You may have to pick reinstall packages. Flash the bionix zip. Then choose reboot option. You don't need to flash anything else. The modem and rest are all in the bionix zip.

Im rooted and have rom manager, titanium, clockwork etc.... Also backed up with cw.
Basically Im at the point where I flash. But with all the posts I read about the different kernels and modems people are using I got confused.
Wasn't sure bionix v had a kernel and modem in it or if I had to put that together.
Is there anyone that would recommend nero over bionix for stability or are they both just as stable?
And if I wanted to use different modems or kernels how would I go about doing so?

Every person has their own suggestions. Bionix-V is great but so is Flagship V3. They all include the Kernel and modem so you dont have to flash seperatly. Read through the thread of the rom you want to flash and I amsure you will find out experiences with other Kernels and modems. But the best thing you need to do is start trying for yourself.

so you have a stock Vibrant...you wanna overclock?
Are you rooted? Im pretty sure that too run a different kernel you need a diffrent rom other than the stock JFD.
You might get more answers if you posted in the right section.

Not trying to be a wiseguy but:
Read the "Vibrant directory ( Bible ) and search this forum. Look for the subjects you're interested in. All questions are answered you just need to study before you start.
Learn how to use odin - if you follow the links you will have everything you need to get back to stock in an emergency.
Read about and learn how to use one click root.
Read about and learn how to use Rom Manager to flash roms
Use Titanium backup to backup your apps
Good luck and have fun!

No, that only saves your data and apps. You need to save it or you can use the ones located in the vibrant library. You can always revert back to stock using odin but do so AT YOUR OWN RISK... Good luck

The Bible is the greatest thing EVER.
Just seriously use how to use Odin. If you can learn how to get into download mode consistently and connect to odin successfully you will be fine. Then learn how to use recocery, which is very easy on the vibrant. you just install ROM manager from the market and flash clockwork mod recovery. learn how to backup and restore and you can flash things through recovery. Zips are for recovery, and Tar files are for Odin. If you want to OC i recommend "Corev2" by team whiskey (since JAC has dissapeared) which works with most ROMs and should work well with stock rooted. There is Odin files and zip files for stock kernels, jfd and ji6, which you could just flash over if you dont like it. Nandroid backups dont backup kernels, so make sure you have the right kernel on when you restore something. You can find everything in the BIBLE like everyone has told you to try. One word of the wise, if you load a Froyo 2.2 on your phone and then revert back to 2.1, make sure you flash a 2.1 kernel first before you restore. So many people think they brick after they do that.
And usually if you are waiting for official firmware, it appears here on XDA ready to flash (i flashed official ji6 before it was availible OTA) at some point. I would recommend you use a rooted ji6 ROM with Corev2 (and possibly the ji2 modem to save battery life but i like the ji6 modem) this will let you OC and UV without setcpu. this is kind of a scattered response but im just trying to help. I am running AOSP jk2 1.1 by Anderdroid and i LOVE IT.
It looks like you have everything ready on your phone.
Just learn Odin, you don't really need ADB. Make sure your phone can go into the download mode via the vol up and vol down key and connect USB cable for download mode. Its a Triangle Icon with android robot with shovel.
There you should load the Pit file and Tar file to flash back to Stock in case you brick you phone. As far as flashing ROM goes, remember this!!
If you flash a 2.1 Kernel + ROM like Fusion 1.2, and create a Nandroid backup through ClockWork. Then decided to go to a Froyo 2.2 kernel + ROM like Obsidian or MacnutR11 to try out. Do not restore Nandroid backup to 2.1, it will brick your phone requring u to ODin back to stock.
Bottom line 2.1 ROM will not work with 2.2 kernel and 2.1 kernel will not work with 2.2 ROM. Don't mix them up.
Basically if you are running a 2.1 kernel + rom, then switch to 2.2 kernel and rom. For some reason you don't like it, make sure you flash back to 2.1 kernel + rom instead of doing a nandroid restore.
So uhhh, my boyfriend got me this phone a few days ago and I want to get a custom ROM on it. He's in alaska so he can't help me out for 14 more days, so Im here. Umm, well I just use AIO Vibrant toolbox to flash back to stock, so it's eclair I guess, not sure what that really means but thats what my phone says.
Then I rooted it, and it has superuser.
So what do I do now.. can you guys recommend me a ROM and help me install one? Like.. whats a good ROM, and.. what do I need to do. Do I need to update to froyo, if so how do I do that. Sorry Im such a newbie at all this, I hope someone helps me out!
Yeah and also like, I would like a ROM that looks awesome and is good for battery. Just an overall awesome popular one. Please if possible help me, or give me instuctions on like... installing it, I literally don't know diddaly squat about installing ROMS, I just wanna do it
the easiest way to install a rom would be to download rom manager. If you're gonna stick with froyo (which I recommend since its a lot easier to install and is better with battery), you won't have to get premium. after downloading rom manager, open it and select flash clockworkmod recovery at the top, then select galaxy S vibrant (make sure you select just vibrant NOT vibrant (MTD)). After that select reboot into recovery, if you are in CWM recovery then you can go ahead and reboot, if not, then select reinstall packages. It should then install CWM recovery and bring you back tot he same screen, select reinstall packages again and it should bring you to CWM recovery. After that go ahead and reboot, then go back to rom manager. Now you can go to download rom and select a rom you would like to install. I highly recommend project V or bi winning. Good luck!
I would recommend to flash a rom with rom manager. Its the easiest way to install any custom rom. You may have to vet the premium version for it but is so easy you can mess up.
I would recommend trigger project v or even trigger 3.2. Its fast and awesome.

I would suggest that you learn how to use Odin first before flashing a custom rom to your phone. Learn how to go to download/recovery mode. This way you know what to do in case you soft bricked your phone.
Then just flash in rom manager like what they said.

You are incorrect sir! Simply honey and revolution rom are better and faster than most froyo roms. I know because I've have tried them all.

I recommend Bionix 1.3.1. It is known for its stability, and I feel it's a great rom to start off with. Novices and experts at flashing use it from what I have read in the thread. Also, it has decent battery life, but you can flash a new kernel (like Bali UV (undervolt)) which has showed to save battery life. I will put both links below for you to take a look at. Most of the time the instructions to install a kernel or rom are in the original post, however as stated you can flash through rom manager. If you want more in-depth details on how to install them, you can pm me, or I can post them here also.

You can flash almost any ROM with almost any kernel, but ZombieAss will boot and run recent i9100 based ROMs. As in, you can't use ZombieAss with the official ICS ROMs from AT&T. If you're on stock 2.3.4, you can go ahead and flash any ICS ROM from their threads as long as it's for our phone -- the i777. They should automagically flash an ICS kernel.
In short, use ICS kernels with ICS roms, Gingerbread kernels with Gingerbread roms, but any kernel with CWM can flash anything without trouble.
Just pick your ROM and go in my opinion! pretty much all of the ICS ROMs include a kernel that will include CWM. (exception being the ATT leaks, but i believe even the one built by Task650 includes a kernel with CWM)
Kernel for ICS ROMs
I use overclocked kernels by SebastianFM on Android Revolution HD ROMs. Combination of the two works best for me.
You can also check out faux123's released kernels. Also very nice work (with ZRAM)

Once you have CWM (any CWM), you can go pretty much anywhere without returning to stock.
People that complain about bootloops didn't know the most basic rule of flashing:
ALWAYS WIPE DATA IN CWM WHEN SWITCHING FIRMWARES! (usually no wiping needed when switching kernels though.)
Suggested order, in my opinion:
Flash a Gingerbread kernel with CWM, such as my Daily Driver for Gingerbread
Do a Nandroid backup of your current setup (Backup and Restore in CWM) - Enter CWM using the three-finger combo, NOT via ROM Manager
Once you've done a backup - flash something. If it's in these forums, it should be safe. I suggest reading the threads for various releases to get a feel for things. Don't ask what's best - that is a matter of taste.

DON'T use Odin from your computer! Using Odin trips the flash counter and that'll probably give you headaches later. Use Mobile Odin instead, you can find it here under Step 3a, it allows you to flash zip files (lite version is free, allows you to flash only kernels from the phone itself)

There is one tar ball available for Entropy's daily driver kernel. It's the top one in the list of downloads, named DD_01232012.tar. If you flash it, you will increment the flash counter and invoke the yellow warning triangle on boot, but you can reset the flash counter and remove the yellow triangle with a usb jig, or if you install ICS on the phone, you can get the same result using chainfire's Triangle Away application. And by all means, read the full OP of my guides, and any other follow up information you can find, so that you will have a solid foundation for making decisions as you go forward.

Right now only my Gingerbread kernels have a .tar download available.
It is my opinion that no one should be going straight to ICS yet without already having some experience with kernel flashing/installing CWM/nandroiding their current Gingerbread firmware as a backup/properly testing custom firmwares, which is why only my Gingerbread kernels have .tar files. ICS on our devices is still too new.

Thanks for all the help. I actually downloaded mobile odin, then used doomlords easy rooting tool, then flashed, I forgot the name but it was something like "one kernel to rule the all", flashed with mobile odin, and got CWM, then installed you current daily driver, made a Nandroid backup, and now I'm ready to flash. I had one more question, what is the difference between the regular Nandroid backup and the advanced? And should I be backing up regular, or the advanced way?

I have an i777 that absolutely refuses to allow CWM. I have tried Siyah kernel on both GB and ICS stock roms, as well as AJK kernel on JB stock from. I am far from giving up but this has caused me so much headache and I've never bricked a phone as much as I've done this. Needless to say, I've learned a lot but I have yet to figure it out. If anyone could offer some advice or things to try I certainly would appreciate it.
I am currently running stock 4.0.3 with Siyah 4.3.3 kernel.

Assuming your phone is in fully working condition, then there is evidently something you are missing in your understanding of how the phone works. The SGH-I777 is different in that the recovery is built in to the kernel, and *not* installed separately in it's own partition. From reading the above, I'm wondering if your are trying to install a separate recovery, or if you art trying to install ClockworkMod from the play store by installing Rom Manager?
To help you get through this, I need to know exactly what you are doing that is not working for you, in a step by step explanation.
Thank you for your reply. I had feared this was a dead thread.
I am aware that custom recovery is embedded in the kernels themselves and not a standalone as I have encountered with my Hercules.
As for what I have tried. From manager from play store will flash 100% but never give me a complete notice which, I believe, is a successful download but not flash.
As far as kernels are concerned. I have used ones that are compatable with stock rooms. I've tried a couple that don't. All have failed to yield me with my desired result.
Is there a piece of code that I can modify to get the kernel embeded recovery to kill stock Sammy?

The phone is pretty old, and not many people hang out here any more. I still check in every once in a while. You would get more attention in any forum if you post a new thread with your question, rather than necro-ing an old thread.

I assume you meant to type "Rom" manager? Rom manager should not be used on the I777. For reference, see the very top sticky thread in the Q&A forum (this forum) [A] Rom Manager ******WARNING READ THIS BEFORE******

All custom kernels built for the I777 come with a recovery either based on CWM recovery or TWRP recovery. These kernels are usually compatible with the stock system which matches their version number. Once you install the custom kernel to replace the stock kernel, you will be able to enter recovery and it will be CWM (or TWRP in a few cases).
For Gingerbread, you can do this without rooting the device, since there is a Siyah kernel for Gingerbread that is available in tar format that can be flashed with Odin. To do this, flash the I777UCKH7 full distribution, which you can download from the Download Repository (see the link in my signature), then flash the tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash each one in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning. You will now be able to boot into recovery and you will have CWM recovery where you can flash many types of custom firmware.
Another route you could take is to flash the I777UCMD8 full distribution from the Download Repository, then use the Framaroot app with the Aragorn exploit to root the device, and then use Mobile Odin Pro, or Mobile Odin lite to flash the AJK v4.9 NoSwap kernel which is compatible with the stock system. If you need additional instructions on how to do that, just ask.
