First, thanks so much for an awesome intro tutorial for beginners. I used the one click mod you referenced from AC, and had no trouble flashing CWM.
I did not flash anything DJ05 or DL09, as I went directly to the froyo link you referenced
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948722. I did get a scare when I went to update to froyo and flashed the eb01 modem (Odin hung for a half hour, and I had to disconnect and re-flash), but eventually got things worked out (whew!) and am running superclean 2.2.
My "final snafu" has to do with some of the follow up in the froyo step by step tutorial. I am attempting to update the ocean wall-paper/battery/lock using ROM Manager, but once I select "Install ROM from SD" it starts to unpack for a couple of seconds, then reboots to a Samsung recovery, and I am forced to simply reboot.
I have not done anything with kernels or voodoo. Before I dove in any further, I hoped to be chastised for my ignorance here while I have a working phone with froyo instead of messing anything up
Thanks in advance for any insight!
My phone shows:
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband: S:i500.04 V.EB01
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: SCH-1500.EB01
ROM Manager shows ColckworkMod 2.5.0.4
