you could go the way i went (which i thought was easier, might be abit longer but not much) or the odin way

the way i did it:
flash simply honey 3.3 though recovery like normal, wipe data/fact reset, wipe cache http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ITORJOGK

reboot when its done

then flash which ever 3.9.1 package you want through the CWM app (if its there, cant remember) or rom manager, dont think it matter about doing the light first now cos they're all full roms (they weren't when i first did it)

when it reboots wait 15 min then reboot again then you're good to go



odin (not 100% sure though):
flash the GB bootloaders http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1117990 (READ THAT CAREFULLY)

then get the odin_heim file whatever its called from SH thread, open the .zip and extract the .tar and that goes in PDA in odin, the .pit file i think is the one you would use to odin to stock
have fact reset ticked and reboot, dont know about re-partition, some people said it completely wiped their internal SD so back up what you dont want to lose then click start and let it go through (if you get the voice saying not enough space or something when its rebooting pull battery, go to recovery and disable voodoo then reboot)

then flash whichever package you want through recovery then reboot

let it sit for 15 min then reboot again


i think thats it
if you go the way i went and flash the bootloaders anyway first or after to get rid of the rainbow and to be able to see recovery for the future, its up to you

thanks! im going to try this as soon as i get off work.

i was on stock rooted with clockwork recovery. grabbed the 3.3 simply honey link, renamed it update.zip and put it at the root of the internal sd. did a factory wipe, cleared cach, and davik cache. and then installed and it put me in a boot loop. im using odin to get back to stock, any ideas?

didnt need to rename it anything, thats a full rom, cant flash 2.3.4 over froyo without the GB bootloaders but can flash 2.3.3 so thats why you have to do that 1st

did you wipe dalvik after or before ??

i wiped it after the 1st time i did it and because its in advanced menu in recovery it wouldnt go back to the normal page of recovery to reboot and that put me in a bootloop

when you're rooted again after stock......

-put 3.3 and the 3.9.1 package you want on sd and leave them named as they are

-go to recovery, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache

-flash 3.3

-reboot

-flash 3.9.1 in rom manager (it'll factory reset again even if you dont have that ticked, could tick wipe dalvik and cach aswell while you're there)

-when it reboots leave for 15 min then reboot again


thats the exact way i did it i think and works fine for me

Thanks soooo much it finally worked! I feel bad asking another question but I can't seem to find the answer. I installed the GB bootloaders and have the full version of the simply honey loaded now but everytime I get a call I have to reboot after or I wont be able to receive calls. Thanks again!

I just found a post by you in the simply honey thread that answered my question. So I reflash and wipe. Do I flash all the way back to 2.1 or just reflash the full version of simply honey and wipe all data?

wipe in recovery and flash 4.0

You may want to consider trying some of the more tried-and-tested 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROMs until you have more experience with modding in general. When you start messing with bootloaders, it doesn't take much screwing up to permanently and irrevocably (apart from a JTAG) brick your phone.

uuuuuuuuggg!!! I've posted dozens of replies with explanations of how to do this! lol
