Here's a plain and simple guide on how to flash the Samsung Galaxy S 4G firmware using ODIN downloader tool. "There are two ways to flash a custom or stock ROM to your phone. You can use CWM which is a lot easier but has to work with your model phone or you can use Odin which interfaces with your phone through your computer to add a ROM. CWM is what you would want to use as an everyday solution but if you brick your phone you would need to use ODIN to reinstall a stock ROM. Therefore both are very important tools."
For the meantime the original stock ROM firmware still at chase...
I flashed this yesterday after soft bricking my phone. I was in original stock/root, fota fix, bloatware removed before the brick. For beginners before you proceed do a back up first.
