I personally tried chrome many moons ago and wasn’t overly impressed. Matt Cutts suggested giving it another go, as it has matured quite nicely and is serious competition with Firefox. First impressions are quite good, it seems to give me more realestate on my screen which I like and it has some nice animations to keep things interesting.

Before you do anything, check you can get into Download mode using the 3 button method? If so you are pretty much unbrickable, so have a go.
Download Odin here
Download 512.pit here
Download JM5 rom here
PASS: samsung-firmwares.com
(I’m recommending JM5 because I use it and can personally recommend it as a stable 2.1 base rom)
- Put your phone in download mode, dont plug it in yet (Download mode can be achieved by pressing all at once: power, volume down and home key)
- Unrar the JM5 file to find 3 files inside.
- Open Odin
- Load 512.pit into the pit section
- Load CODE into the PDA, MODEM into the Phone and CSC into the CSC
- Don’t tick re-partition
- Plug the phone in (while its in download mode), wait till Odin sees it
- Click start
