Best way to do this? Bootloaders...

---

I'm pretty confident at modding my phone, and have basically done everything that doesn't involve messing with odin or bootloaders. However, I would like to upgrade to GB bootloaders, mainly for features in the new glitch kernel (and perhaps better performance in some way). And yes, I have searched and read many threads on this, but there are so many different options and many things seem irrelevant. I am on CM7 Glitch v13, and I'm not sure what the best path is.

First of all, what stock firmware do I go to? There are so many, and I would assume something 2.3.x. But which? And I would assume with bootloaders? Once I get there, I would be able to figure out getting CWM. I think. But I'm mainly concerned about which stock firmware to pick. Thanks!

Look for the kf1 one-click. Can't get any easier.

Ummm yes it can
You can flash the bootloaders only right over top cm7.

I've never had any luck trying that. Usually end up bootlooping.

I heard that that's what happens. By usually, do you mean it can sometimes work? How would you recover

Put phone in dl mode and flash stock. Just back everything up before you start. Some have reported that it's worked for them, but most havesended up looping. I personally have looped the last time
I tried it.

Yahh flashing BL while on a MTD partitioned ROM will not work, have to be on BML(STOCK ROM)

Yeah that's what I thought. I saw your posts in the ICS thread. Thanks

EDIT: But wait, do I need to go back to stock froyo first or can I go straight on to KF1?

I would go to froyo first, then the kf1. Just to be safe, and you ALWAYS want to be as safe as possible with bootloaders.

I did that, but I never went to kf1. I followed some other guide that installed speedmod and GB bootloaders, and am now back on CM7 after flashing froyo again. That was much easier than I expected.

NOW: Crap, no matter what I do, I can't get signal. I get no SIM passcode prompt, and my imei is unknown. What now?

NOW: Well it works on stock Froyo, but no connection on CM7
