hello everyone i want to asked that any gingerbread rom that run without GB Bootloader for vibrant
Why not just flash a GB bootloader if you want to run a GB rom? Do a search for Gingerbread bootloaders, or custom Gingerbread bootloaders for Vibrant.
You should be set then. If you run Gingerbread rom on Froyo bootloader, I believe you get a funky rainbow screen.. Not run into that problem myself.

If you're going to run a GB (Gingerbread) rom then you actually don't need a Gingerbread Bootloader for it to function properly. Gingerbread Bootloaders are recommended for ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) roms, which are known to have an issue known as "rainbows" when running with a Froyo Bootloader. Anyhow, if you still wish to use a Gingerbread Bootloader (although it is not necessary for a GB rom) you can find a dedicated thread here.
my friends also have vibrant and he change bootloader to GB bootloader.
when he stock back using odin his phone is dead no response no power button works that why i dont want to change bootloader
I also think you will get rainbows on boot with any I9000 GB ported ROM.
Ive Odin'd to JFD many times after flashing the GB bootloaders with no real issues. You could flash the GB bootloaders and if you ever have to Odin to JFD (Stock) reflash the Froyo bootloaders before.
thank you very much both of you for your replies

CyanogenMod 7 can both use either the stock or the Gingerbread bootloaders. I tried the latest nightly earlier and it was pretty great!
edit: Opps, I forgot the download link. You find it at get.cm (the CyanogenMod download center)!

hi guys,
i am currently on Bionix-v 1.3.1 in my vibrant and i want to update to gingerbread.
so i wonder is it possible to upgrade vibrant to gingerbread and if so,can u link me to a way how to do that ?
thanks in advance

flash GB bootloaders then you can flash any GB rom over whatever rom
theres ways to do it without the bootloaders but you'll get rainbow screen on boot and wont be able to see recovery
Flash using GB bootloader,it can fix rainbows and use any GB ROM

bootloaders 1st
cant flash straight to a GB rom from froyo without them
only rom i know of that can be is SH3.3, can flash that from froyo without them then flash whatever other GB rom you want through rom manager i think (i did this because i dont trust odin)
some have .tar files so you can flash them through odin to get to GB but voodoo sometimes messes up so you still need the bootloaders to go to recovery and disable it if it does
easiest way's to flash the bootloaders then just flash whatever GB over whatever
thanks again
i have flashed using gb boot loader
i am going to try Simply Honey 4.0 Revolution(JVQ GB 2.3.4) custom rom.

all GB roms are taken from i9000 because we dont have an official GB for our phones
dont know what its because of why calls dont work for some people, they worked for everyone on 2.3.3 i think
dont think radio works because there isnt any radio drivers for our phone so just uninstall it
video calling is there for the people that have put an FFC into their vibrant, it doesnt change anything
MIUI FTW
If you wanna flash a GB ROM trust me MIUI 1.29.11 is the way to go. You will be surprised how nice it is. Just give it a try.
P.S. I flashed it coming from a 2.2 ROM (trigger 3.3) without flashing bootloader. Just did the same old flashing process (wipe,wipe,wipe)
well,
i am on 2.3.4 and i want to reverse back to a 2.3 rom "Team Toxic "Crazy8".
so i do have to install old bootloaders according to them.
anyone got a idea how to do that ?
thanks

i came from bionix 131 was a great rom but get ready for bad assness
1. assuming you have cwm, flash cwm recovery, pick vibrant mtd, click yes then chose clockworkmod 2.x
2. go to download rom, go to cyanogen nightlies and pick perhaps the highest build number unless it has really bad remarks.
3. do the usual clear cache, clear dalv, flash it, fix permissions
let it boot and sit for a few and hold on to your panties...lol
nope gps does not work. but from what i remember bionix gps was pretty spotty as well
dont forget to wipe data, anyways reading some of the posts. simply galaxy is cool, love the blue but cm7 is waaaaay smoother and highly customizable. and you dont need to flash gb bootloaders. and if you want to go back once you flashed gb loaders, your gonna gave to get froyo boots back, from what i remember. cm7 has made it too easy to flash, was kind of tricky in the beginning, but did it for the fun of it
I´ve just bought a Vibrant Galaxy S and I was thinking in updating it to gingerbread. First I thought there was an official release since most of the galaxy s have gingerbread now but to my surprise no gb for Vibrant. After reading this forum I have come to no conclusion whether I should update to 2.3.4 by using CyanogenMOD because if I read it correct it seems:
1) that Cya 7 drains battery faster than samsung stock 2.2 rom.
2) Also, it seems that all the samsung stock apps doesn´t come with Cya7. What app does it comes with for SMS, dialing, etc?
3) Why can´t you use roms from Samfirmware.com, there´s a I9000BVJJW4 2.3.3 there, is it incompatible with Vibrant?
4) What about the Dark Rom which also features 2.3.4, what´s the main difference from cyanogen? does it comes with touchwiz?
Thank you guys.
1) it drains faster because the source is not for the vibrant, its made to work on the vibrant
2) the dialer is the same and the mms is about the same but cm7 does have the dsp manager to raise the music quality and rendering effects but if you like twiz or stock widgets so much just flash a twiz gb rom like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192438
3) the i9000 source does not work but is ported to work on the vibrant in fact that's probably what some roms are based on
4) I don't know I couldn't find a link to it but if you've seen it just read the op it will explain everything and whether or not it has twiz
people flash gb roms for the speed and customizeability not for battery life and there are gb roms that look like stock gb (cm7), or sgs2 (revolutionRom), or are one of a kind (MIUI), you can back up your phone in clockwork now, then flash each gb rom and restore back if you don't like it as many times as you want until you find the one that's perfect for you but if battery life is most important stick with 2.2 but give gb a try

I´m thinking on trying the MIUI, do I have to update my bootloader before? I have the stock 2.2 firmware in it.
I'm not sure what uploading your bootloader means but no you don't need to flash the gb bootloader or froyo bootloader just do some wiping and flash the rom .... the gb bootloader is just to get rid of rainbows and having the wrong bootloader doesn't brick your phone so it doesn't matter .... saying bootloader so much sure made this reply long btw I think MIUI still uses the froyo bootloader so flash away

Jvp roms should not be flashed with gb bootloaders because the external sd stops mounting but MIUI no longer says jvp and I believe it got updated so yes update to gb bootloaders after you wipe and flash the rom the worst that could happen is your external sd stops mounting and you'll have to flash the old bootloaders back enjoy MIUI

revamped has everything stock MIUI has but comes with the tk's glitch kernel with rom so you won't have to flash it and waste time and it also has clocks, a nice calendar, live wallpapers (stock MIUI has no live wallpaper pre-installed), build.prop tweaks and more just read the op in the thread my other reply has links
absolutely no gb bootloaders for miui and cm7
I'm currently using the Simply Stock gingerbread rom, and I flashed gingerbread bootloaders. I may want to try some of the new ICS roms coming out, but I want to be sure I know what I'm doing first.
Would attempting to flash back to stock 2.2 brick my phone with the gingerbread bootloaders? Do I need to revert the bootloaders first? Thanks in advance.
u can flash from the jvt rom you have now just fellow the guide in the op, you will have to flash the ics rom twice .but if u want to go back to stock use this guide and going back to stock would not brick you phone.

Gingerbread bootloaders are backward compatable with froyo and eclair no need to worry or change them. I prefer them because of the button mapping.
They also work with ICS. I have them and am running ICS Passion and have also tried all the other Vibrant and I9000 ics roms with them.
I also went striaght to ICS from DarkyROM 10.2.2 (2.3.4 JVQ)
I'm currently on GB, do I need to install an ICS rom before I install a ported JB rom? Or can I go straight from GB (with doing a full wipe before hand of course)?

You are probably confusing the OP. DO NOT listen to this guy.
Thanks a lot for the answers guys. Just out of curiosity, why is neerajganga saying an ics boot loader is needed? That doesn't make sense to me because I've gone from GB to ICS without ever having to touch the boot loader.

I think you are confusing bootloaders for kernels. But by calling it a bootloader you will confuse the OP into possibly screwing up their phone. I don't know if you need an ics kernel for jb. I'm just trying to clear up the misnomer.

Being what I just went through with my phone... I assured I was flashing an ICS ROM with a proper kernel. Then move up into JB. I had flashed a wrong kernel and wound up having to back track and redo allot.
May seem like more work yet taking it step by step sometimes in the end is easier. Just a word of thought from a noob who twice thought he bricked his phone. Yet now works great on CM9 thinking of moving up into CM10 soon.
The new versions of siyah and dream kernel are both ics and jb friendly may be more but these are what I use

Most if not all, ICS rom's have a fine camera. Maybe something else is trashed. You might find instructions for a complete wipe to make sure you get rid of whatever camera you have now, and re-flash to stock. I use CM10 which is ICS and know for certain that the camera works fine in it.
