If you have a Froyo stock ROM then you should check if your bootloader is signed/secured. JM9 P1000L version have a protected bootloader.
You can download app and get more informations about bootloaders here.
Some ROMs dont have a dbdata.rfs file.
dbdata.rfs is necessary for flash NEW roms. dbdata.rfs link for Gingerbread
Before flash, open .tar file (rom) and drag dbdata.rfs into package.
After flash if your 3G dont work, you should install modem of the previous rom.
You can do this replacing modem.bin (JM9) file into .tar package before flash.

You need learn about Heimdall. What is Heimdall?
Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S devices. More information.
Now, you should download P1000L stock ROM (Password is "samfirmware.com"):
Flashed by Heimdall 1.0.2b
Uncompress file and write follow command:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage
Humberto, coule you please make a tar/odin version of the kernel? For some reason my heimdall don't connect to my device, no matter what I do.
I can only get a -12 error (cannot connect)
I have installed the drivers and everything else.

I'm planning to flash Gingerbread using Heimdall.
I have three questions:
1º) I'll decompress the ROM file and substitute dbdata.rfs and modem.bin with the files you said in the other thread and flash everything with Heimdall (repartition enabled). Is it right?
2º) The bootloaders at the Gingerbread P1000N ROM is fully compatible with P1000L device right?
3º) Is it possible to post here the md5sum of each file that I will need to flash using heimdall? I'll be much more calm if I can compare the md5sum of the files you have flashed and we know that work with the ones I'm suppose to flash.
