...and a couple others

I know, confusing, but the GT-i9000 and GT-i9000M are one of the same. Anything for the i9000 will work fine with the i9000M. I believe the most notable difference is we have 16GB onboard and the other only has 8GB.

Alternatively, you could just flash this ROM: [ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000 | DarkyROM

And from there, you'll have CWM and all so you can flash and do whatever you like.

tried to root with i9000 file and stuck in boot loop again.. sigh.. I feel like giving up

Do I have to root first or can I just flash the ROM??

If you use Odin, no need for rooting. That's why I suggested that Resurrection ROM ;) Should get you up and running without any hassle.

Ok thank you so much this is the answer I've been looking for. Trying it right now!

EDIT: worked great. thanks a bunch!

Now I have no cell reception.... hmm

EDIT: Fixed, installed ugjl2 modem with cm3, no reception at first but it seem to come after a few minutes.

All is working sweet now. Biggest thing I wanted was the voodoo control and now I have that. Hello sound quality

Good to hear you got it working. Did you flash the full-featured Darky ROM afterwards? Or you like the barebones ROM?

There's a ton of other modems you can try besides JL2 if you find it to be slow.

this rom seems great, way way faster, the voodoo sound control is incredible, only thing missing is swype but ill probably find a way to get that back if
I look

seem to be getting better reception also ill probably stick with this modem

Most, if not all ROMs have Swype.

If it says Swype is expired, just go to XDA-Developers and search around then download the latest one. Uninstall current one via Titanium Backup then reboot phone.

Well the Resurrection ROM that he's running is basically a clean slate. Lacks the majority of the typically included Samsung apps.

Probably best to flash this on-top: [ROM] DarkyROM v10.2.2 Final [TouchWiz 4] | DarkyROM

"flash this on-top" what do you mean by that? There's a way to make it so I don't have to install all my apps/etc again?

If you want swype just go here Swype | Get Swype and click on download swype beta. That is what I did.
