Galaxy S 2.3.2 Rooting

I desperately need some help.
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (8gb). Here are some details about this phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.2
Baseband Version: I9000XXJPK
Build Version: Gingerbread.XWJV1
The thing is, I want to root my phone and install custom ROMs and I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I've tried searching everywhere but I can't seem to find out how to do it. There is no information for 2.3.2!
Apparently, 2.3.2 is a beta version and I have no idea how my phone has Gingerbread.
To check whether my phone was already rooted or not, I installed Titanium Backup and it does not run because it needs "root privileges". So, my phone is not rooted.
Please can someone help me on what I need to do? I'm completely lost and desperately in need of help! A step-by-step guide would go a long way!
Thanking you in advance!

The easiest way to root is via super one click. You need to instal the same. You'll find the link in xda forums.

Yes, firstly you need to read the numerous guides already available in xda.
Secondly an excellent single source for firmwares, guides and pc tools is samfirmware.com
Thirdly, and only after you have done extensive research here you desperately need to update your firmware. You must have bought your phone second hand because 2.3.2 JV1 has never been officially released. It was the first leaked alpha release of gingerbread for SGS several months ago and is VERY experimental. An excellent source for current GB 2.3.3 JVH is Ramad's link here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Best of luck...you've bought a cracking phone and the members here are very helpful (as long as you do your bit and thoroughly familiarise yourself with site content)

Thank you ever so much for the kind help!
I managed to find a website that had a step-by-step guide in very little words (but it was a complete guide) and that has helped me with my problems. I've updated to Android 2.3.3.
Yes, this community is great.

I was the same bit just read the development forums and figured it out

Unfortunately CF root doesn't work well with it but this method does: -
How to root and install busybox:
* Download Odin version of FuguRoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (Remember to thank nikademus for his excellent work!)
* Download and extract the original and untouched Kernel:
XWJVH Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVB Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVA Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XXJVK Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
* Flash zImage-root tar file as PDA with no pit and no re-partition, let the phone boot until it enters charging mode then disconnect the phone.
* Re-enter Download Mode
* Load the extracted original Kernel tar file as PDA only, no pit and no re-partition, connect the phone and flash the original Kernel.
* Done!
Enjoy your SGS.

Supercurio's kernel is excellent too. I rooted via fuguroot which worked fine, but have now flashed supercurio's.

[Q] Galaxy Note Indian Firmware?

Still haunting for Indian Stock Galaxy Note Firmware...A screen Shot is attach for better understanding.
Image of system information on Purchase...and after purchase...a minor update (KJ9 kernel to KK3 Kernel) are attached for ref.
I updated to KK3 and then rooted and flashed KK1 CF-Root and taken CWM backup.
How could I go back to pure stock. In case I recover from back up ( after all efc and CSC restore using root explorer [backed up earlier]) it will go back to stock however the kernel info will be different...Hope I make devs understand the issue.
There in no where Indian stock firmware available or even CF-Root thread there is no Kj9 or KK3.

You hav backedup after CF root, your backup alreadt contains Root and CF kernel.
Cf root KK1 is same as KK3, as already you have done this.
To go completely back to original stock, you have to follow same procedure by which you hav injected CF kernel. First of all you need is original kernel (i dont know wether available at present) extract that original kernel, get zImage file and CFrootflash, like you did it earlier. Now you have stock firmware n Root
Use zergrush unroot tool to unroot device, then only you will get complete original stock firmware
Read this for further detail

Thanks...I understand the process you mentioned. The only point here is that nowher I have found KJ9 or KK3 ( Original Indian Stock Kernel )...!!!

KJ9 is old, look for KK1 if you get, once you get kk1 again you can update over OTA to get KK3

3 Ireland Stock ROM Needed

The microphone seems to be broken on my phone, i can hear people when they call me but they cant hear me, when i call someone i can hear them but they cant hear me, done a factory reset but nothing so have to bring the phone in for repairs as it's still under warranty so need to flash the official 3 Ireland stock ROM that came with the phone, i cant see it under the firmware thread here and i cant seem to find it after googling, does anyone know where i can get this to flash?
Thanks

I was gonna flash I9300XXBLG6 but this is an unbranded ROM when i first got my phone and booted it up there was a 3 boot animation so no doubt they would know i had flashed another ROM unless anyone has any other ideas/

I think i may have found it on the Sam Mobile website

Its in the usual place .

[Q] HELP - Locked up my S4 I9505

Well I feel dumb to say this but I bought my S4 last week and already Bricked it.
It is an I9505 with ME7 firmware. I did some easy root way using a formatted SD card so haven't flashed and files before.
Anyways now to the dumb part, I was bored and work and installed chainfire 3d without reading all of the info just saw it had good rating I obviously now know it is not made for a newer phone so I feel really stupid.
So my Verizon S4 is locked up and wont load past the Verizon screen. I have goggled the problem and that is what brought me to this website. A lot of great information here but I figured I would make a thread for help and make sure I understand everything right before I try anything from now on.
The search bought me to this page being the way to fix it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824
Now I have read though it all but there are so many links that it just confused me on witch one to download and install to fix the device. I dont mind if the phone gets fully wiped or stays rooted/doesn't. Just want to be able to use it and read up and learn more. I would be most interested on a root that has the least bloatware
So basically I am asking if that that link is the fix to my problem and what download/rom should I use. Do I download a Original Stock ROM or Pre-Rooted ROM? Then put my phone in download mode and use ODIN
Thanks

You should be able to recover if you can flash the original stock rom back on there but not too sure about Verizon S4 as I have an international S4,. I would be flashing the stock rom in your situation.
Someone else who has the Verizon variant might answer if there isn't a forum for it.

So would flashing the stock 4.3 ROM void my warranty it was running 4.2.2 I believe? And just to verify this would be the link I want to use? Original Stock ROM (see below)
Or would a 4.2.2 original stock rom be better?

NOTE:
I've prepared a special package for all who are using ODEX version (ORIGINAL) and decided to try DEODEX instead...
Quick guide:
1. Download "DEODEXED Apps+Framework" package (THIS IS NOT ROM!!!): ANDROID HOST
2. Extract, open folder and click on "DEODEX_ME". (DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING in System folder unless you know what you're doing!!)
3. Connect phone (with USB Debugging Enabled) and accept connection
4. Wait..... all files will be transferred to internal SD...
5. Accept SuperSU request for ADB Shell and wait.... phone will restart automatically
6. Enjoy your DeOdexed SuperSlim Version!
BIG THANKS and CREDITS goes to @A.S._id for this great tool!!

Go to sammobile.com for the stock firmware. Voiding your warranty is the least of your worries. Flashing the stock will not void it.

Returning custom KitKat ROM user wanting to go back to near-stock

I cannot quite think of an appropriate topic name for this but I know what I want to ask.
A long time back with my Note 3 I had everything nice and customised, updating my ROM regularly until the creator stopped and I decided to stick. Now I'd like to go back to a vanilla rooted version of Lollipop so that I can grab Xposed too. I'd also like to update the Baseband and add in a custom kernel along the way. I've not heard of Xposed for Marshmallow and Marshmallow is crippling my Shield K1 even with Nvidia's so-called fixes hence sticking with Lollipop.
O2 have offered me an SGS 6 Edge Plus or an Xperia Z5 Premium with "Lollipop, the latest software" for £49pm, no handset cost and £100 to pay off my Note 3 but for those prices, I'll be keeping my Note 3 past my contract end date
I know my way around the commands and the flashing guides but I've been away from the Note 3 forums for some time and I am aware that certain combinations can require specific steps to backtrack. If anyone could put me on the right path as to which big steps to take to avoid bricking then I can fill in the little gaps myself and get to my end goal I would be very grateful.
The below information should be sufficient to provide a base as to where I am to start with.
Current:
Phone: SM-N9005 (UK SGS Note 3)
ROM: KitKat 4.42 - last ever custom KitKat rom by CRASH (v19)
Baseband: N9005DXUGNK1
Kernel: 3.4.105-leankernel-hlte-3.14 (Dec 2014) #47
Build Number: KOT49H.N9005DXUGNK1
Root Status: Rooted with Xposed
Recovery: PhilZ Touch 6.48.4 (CWM v.6.0.5.0)

go to MultiX thread from @ykari4 and you will have everything you have.........it's not an obligation to update BL or modem but you can even with LP...like me

I am sorry if I wasn't clear in my opening post.
I would like to go from rooted Custom Kitkat to rooted stock Lollipop and update the baseband along the way. I am looking for the proper big steps to do this.

Thanks. I didn't know if I had to roll back in a specific order or whether it would be as straight forward as you've said. I can do that with my eyes closed
