[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macki80:
Okay, so i plan to unlock/root/flash my phone and i have read all most all the guides there is but it got me only more confused

there are many guides from different people and different methods to root and unlock the phone and i just don't know which method should i choose.

let's start over...

The first thing i did is to read about "how to root your SGS" and everything about rooting...and i was sure 100% to go with the "SuperOneClick" method but then i found this guide about "CF-Root v1.3"...so which way is the best? with the minimum risk for bricking the phone

The second thing i did was to read all about unlocking the phone...

so there are 3 methods: the unlocking code that doesn't work for everyone,

the file editing "nv_data.bin, and buying the "Vibrant unlock pro" program from the market... so my question is which should it be?

anyways after i was done with that...i have started to search for a ROM to flash

into my phone and i think i have found 2 of the best ROM's here...

the first one is "Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition ROM"

and the second one is "Doc's & Stefunel's magical ROM Kitchen" but the problem is i'm too noob to build my own ROM...i don't know what modem to choose or what CSC and stuff like that...i just want my phone to work fast and be fully customized and with out lags...oh and Hebrew support ^^

so here are some questions about Dark'ys ROM

1.what's the difference between "Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition" and "Darky's ROM Resurrection Edition" ?

2.will Darky's v9.2 ROM will work on my Froyo 2.2 firmware?

3.if i flash any of Darky's ROM's will it change my network signal? i mean i have a very good signal all most everywhere...will it get worse if i flash a new ROM?

4.there is this video about how to flash "Darky's ROM Resurrection Edition" step by step from the beginning till the end using Odin...and the guy that did that vid, made all this flashing stuff soooooo simple...the question is: Is it so simple? (lol) the video called "Darky's ROM Resurrection Edition" search on youtube... I'm new in this forum so i can't post links yet. (sorry about that)

5.do i need to root and unlock the phone before i flash the ROM? because the guy in the video didn't do that :X

6.if i root my phone and flash a new ROM with wipe out will it delete the superuser icon? and then ill need to root the phone again? or not?

7.why do i need the CWM to flash new ROM's? i mean how is it better then the stock one

8.do i really need to unlock my phone to flash a new ROM? how is it helps? it's just unlocking my Sim so i can use other networks, and i don't need the other networks =\

9.there is some videos on youtube that guides you through the whole process of unlocking/rooting/flashing... but the guy in those videos does it by using only the Update.zip method with out any programs... he rooted his phone,installed CWM and flashed Darky's ROM only with the Recovery mod. by the way he had SGS i9000m and i have SGS i9000 does it make any difference?

or i can do that too step by step and it will work just fine

gosh i think i wrote enough for one thread...

i just want the easiest way to do all this but there are just too many :(
