If KB5 is Froyo then you need to flash Froyo bootloaders.

I have a Galaxy S with stock 2.2 ROM and Voodoo lagifx. The phone version is I9000XXJPP. The phone has never had a custom rom flashed before.

If I understand this correctly, all I need to do is disable the voodoo lagfix, follow the instuctions on page one, and then flash any ginger rom from CWM.

Is it really that easy?

Yes it is Disable lagfix...let the system boot and then the procedure.

I had a lot of problem (bad flashing) because of Odin.

I advise using :
[PROGRAM] Heimdall - Open-Source Cross-Platform Flashing Suite (1.2.0 Available)
To flash.

Put your phone in Download Mode :

- Switch off phone
- Press and hold Vol. down and Home button
- Power the phone on
- Once you see a Droid digging and the Test "DO NOT SWITCH OFF TARGET", let go off all the buttons.
- Plug the USB cable in your computer.

If you can't access Download Mode, do not go further, and read this before :
[110% SAFE] 3-Button Combo FiX for Selected/ALL Firmwares

Just put :
- zImage as Kernel (zImage)
- boot.bin as "Primary Bootloader"
- Sbl.bin as "Secondary Bootloader"

And hit Start !

If all is well, you can now boot in recovery
Samsung Galaxy S Clockwork Mod Recovery Mode

I have SGS with Froyo custom ROM installed. The problem is that I bought this phone with this custom ROM installed and I don't know which one is it (except that it's Froyo). I know that it has lagfix but not Voodoo but via ClockWork Mod.
I'd like to switch to Gingerbread ROM but I can't because as I understand, I have to flash this before flashing any Gingerbread custom ROM. Can someone please explain what I have to do? I have read the whole thread but I'm still not sure what to do...
