1. Download SGS kernel flasher from market
2. Download any kernel u want to ur sdcard
3. Open SGS kernel flasher, backup ur current kernel (just in case), select the kernel u downloaded, and select "apply and boot"

Are you asking to change RoMs? What diablo posted is one option to change the kernal not the RoM. You can use his method posted to find a more stable and improved battery life kernal. I would simply change the kernal if you like the Phoenix interface.
If you want to change RoMs just follow the same steps as how you flashed Phoenix.
Pretty much backup, Odin, master clear, root, install clockwork recovery, place RoM in SD card and flash new RoM through the recovery menu. I'm sure you used this guide:

So just follow the same steps.

+1. Ya just remove the update.zip and the next time you reboot into recovery it should be stock recovery.

Were you able to remove the update.zip from your home directory on your phone? If that update.zip is gone then you should not be able to get into clockwork recovery.
In fact to actually get into clockwork recovery you not only have to have a clockwork recovery update.zip on your phone, but you actually boot into stock recovery then have to select reinstall packages to get into clockwork recovery.
I'm going to assume because you haven't shared what you're running, you're running Cognition 2.1.7 which contains clockwork built in and can't be "replaced" since it is the stock. Either that, or you installed Unhelpful's 1.7 kernel manually.
Either way, you can't remove it. You'd need to switch kernels.
i deleted the update.zip but it still booted clockwordmod recovery.
how do i manually removed the kernel? ands after removing what would you suggest be the best kernel/rom to run so that i can overclock my samsung captivate to 1.2

Um I don't think you want to "manually" remove the kernel. You can flash another kernel over your current one using odin or if you have another kernel that is packaged with a clockwork flashable rom you could use the clockwork recovery that you are trying to get rid of. By the way the kernel is your OS, your phone won't work to well without one.
Unhelpfuls kernel is probably your best option if you want to overclock.
i got the problem fixed, and i used unhelpfuls kernel the newest one v 1.7 and even tried the cognition v2.1.7 with unhelpfuls kernels and i was not able to overclock on setcpu.
do you think i should use an older version of unhelpfuls kernels so that i can overclock?
The info you need about how to overclock can be found in unhelpfuls thread

Hello! I recently flashed my GT-I9000 with Darkys. I now became more interested in ROMs like Cyanogenmod and MIUI. Could somebody please tell me how to change from custom rom to another?

Have you got lagfix enabled? If you have you should disable this first
The ROMs you are referring to have full install instructions. If you wanted to start from a stock ROM you can flash using Odin then start from scratch

First, root your phone

Then, go to Market with your phone and install ROM Manager and flash ClockWorkMod trought it
(You can get to Clockworkmod by pressing Volume UP + MENU + Power On when phone is off)
(Start here)
Read this and flash the file in it trough CWM (=Clockworkmod). (install zip from sd-card>choose zip)
Before it do a nandroid backup with Clockworkmod.

[Q] help with flashing cm7 phone just goes back to factory standard

Hi
I'm having problems flashing to cyanogen mod on my galaxy s. I've rooted it, installed clockword mod recovery, after having to change the kernel to get back to 2e recovery. I have the mod file on my sd card, not my external sd, and have renamed it to update. I have tried a number of times to flash the rom, through rom manager and going directly into cwm. I wipe the data and the cache before.
Yet each time it just reboots into the factory standard, like when I bought my phone. Sorry if i've missed something obvious, but i'm at a loss. Please help
You need to flash a gingerbread rom which has a cwm kernel. Ramad has done his stuff on a jvt rom I believe.
Check the cm7 thread for further flashing instructions - the steps are quite clear.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
You can also try to use the CM7 install guide linked in my signature, however it sounds like your problem is not flashing CM7, but flashing CWM3. Plenty of good guides for that on XDA...find one.
The trickiest part of installing CM7 now is just getting CWM set up properly. Once you do that, it is all cake.
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I thought that a froyo 2.2 rom was needed for cm7, although I was taking my information from the cyanogen wiki. I will seek out the gingerbread rom then. I am on cwm 2.5 currently so this may well be the problem.
rschenk: I did read through your guide and notice that I was unable to select samsung galaxy s mtd in rom manager, only galaxy i1900, and also was unable to select cwm 3 so thought this may be something to do with it. Also I couldn't see cm7 in the rom manager downloads and had to dowload it from cm7 site. After reviewing the guide again I am now a little confused whether I need gingerbread rom with cwm kernel, or whether I could flash speedmod kernel and put cwm 3 on after that.

CM7 can be flashed over either froyo or gingerbread as long as the kernel installed allows you to flash from cwm recovery.
Did you get the option when flashing Rom manager recovery to use galaxy s mtd? When you choose it it will say it is not supported, but it is lying.

No I didn't get that option, I got Vibrant (mtd) captivate (mtd) but not galaxy s mtd, only galaxy I9000.
Still not exactly sure how to proceed, I've just flashed speedmod kernel for froyo, but its put me back on recovery mode 3e again, no cwm at all. Think I need to find the gingerbread rom with cmw kernel, struggling to find it on search at the moment.
But you will get better battery life if you have gingerbread bootloaders no?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Ok, after going recovery second time, this time manually as opposed to through rom manager, speedmod cwm appeared. Successfully flashed to cyanogen from here no probs. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
As for battery life on gingerbread bootloaders, no idea, too noob to know.
Glad it's sorted. You do get better battery life from gingerbread bootloaders.

[REF][GUIDE]Another Way to Successfully Flash AOSP/AOKP/CM9 ICS Roms from Gingerbread

Until now we all had to use LP1 Repack as a stepping-stone between Gingerbread and custom ICS Roms.
However, thanks to thechints, we have found an easier way to get to a fully rooted AOSP/AOKP/CM ICS from Gingerbread.
The following procedure was tested by thechints, vviz, abhisahara, and moi, and it works.
It was tested on Stunner and CM9, but could work for any ICS Rom that currently has "flash LP1 Repack" as one of the steps in its flashing instructions.
I emphasize the word 'could'. Give it a try and tell us what happened. The suggested method is safe insofar as it won't brick your device. You have a safe way back to GB via nAndroid backup or PC Odin if it fails.
The only tool that you need for the following procedure to work is AbyssNote 4.2 Kernel --> props to angelom and Chris X.
Get AbyssNote 4.2 kernel HERE.
Do not use earlier AbyssNote Kernel versions for the following procedure.
So, how to do it?
When on any rooted GB Rom:
First and foremost
Double- and triple-check if you have proper GB root!
Do not put faith in the fact that your Titanium Backup or some other root app works.
Do not use various root checkers from the Market.
Do that by trying to paste a file in /system folder -that's the only way for you to really know.
If you can do the pasting, you have root. If not, this thread is not for you.
I got several PMs from users who managed to achieve soft-bricks while still on GB. They tried to
flash AbyssNote kernel and got stuck. Do not let that happen to you.
After that:
1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card
Also download the ICS Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.
2. reboot to CWMR (press and hold volume up + home + power button) and do a backup of your current system
3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery
4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it
5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery
6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery (select options by tapping them, not by using the volume rocker and home button)
7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
9. flash the ICS Rom of your choice
10. reboot and let the Rom settle for a couple of minutes
Now comes the important part...check if you have root.
Start any Explorer with root permissions (Root Explorer, Es Explorer, X Explorer etc.).
Copy any file (a picture, txt file, MP3, whatever).
Navigate to /system folder
Change the /system folder's permissions to R/W.
Paste the file you have copied into /system.
If the pasting goes through OK, you're fully rooted.
Delete the file you've just pasted and set /system as R/O again
And that's it. Enjoy your rooted ICS Rom.
Once again, massive thanks to thechints, abhisahara, vviz and ubiquitous Dr. Ketan.
What to do if this procedure doesn't work, i.e. you don't get full ICS root
As we all know, our Notes are quirky devices. What works for most doesn't necessarily have to
work for your phone. So, if you fail to get full root:
Option 1. You will still have 90% functional ICS on your Note. Your phone will do all the usual stuff
normally. You'll probably even be able to use root apps, like Titanium. However, bear in mind that
you are stuck in the Rom you have just flashed - there is no going anywhere because your CWMR
doesn't have proper root privileges to flash things - DO NOT USE CWMR.
What you won't be able to do on your Note is
- apply themes and mods (because that involves flashing stuff through CWMR with no proper root)
- change DPI settings on your Note (you won't be able to switch to tablet mode, for instance)
Everything else should work properly. If you can live with that for a couple of weeks until the
official ICS arrives, then fine. Relax and enjoy your Rom.
Option 2. If you can't stand the thought that you don't have full root permissions then
- you can try to reboot to CWMR, flash AbyssNote 4.2 again, and try to run a GB restore.
This doesn't have high chances of success, but all is not lost even if it fails. Then
- you can use PC Odin to flash pre-rooted KJ1 stock Rom as explained by Dr. Ketan.

When No Any other method works to Root your device, use this[/B]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that, this will downgrade your ROM to KJ1, after that you can update it.

- Connect the SGN to your computer
- Make sure "repartition" is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot TWICE
- Done.
Now that you have a rooted GB stock Rom, Install Mobile Odin Pro n update your device to any new Rom with Mobile Odin

[Q] Criskelo ICS ROM v2 install

hi there,
first off, im sorry for being a total noob.
i was trying to look for a full guide to install Criskelo ICS ROM v2.
i found an online guide from the site rootgalaxynote dot com
but its for the older version.
i was wondering if i can do this step but install using the V2 or follow the steps, install the older version then use clockworksmod to load v2?
once again, please accept my apologies as i have never touched an android in my life.. im so new, my note is still in the mail and i havent even received it yet.
Go the the development section find criskelo v2 and follow the instructions in the first post? Why go to another site when the instructions are right here

Very simple as ABC.
First you use PC odin and flash a single file called chain fire repack.tar
This ROM is already rooted.
Boot up and install triangleaway1.25.apk
Copy your ROM to SDcard
Reboot to recovery using the CWM app in Your note
Wipe data.factory reset wipe the other one below the list. I forgotten the name
Wipe devalik cache from advance settings
Install the zip file called Criskelo or any other ROM from Sdcard.
Once you are done reboot and enjoy your new rom.

This does however increase the binary counter thus voiding warranty. By taking some extra steps you'll be able to upgrade to any ICS rom without increasing the binary counter.
What I did was I flashed one of the pre-rooted roms found in a thread in the dev section. After that I flashed the CF Root kernel for the rom I installed (I used the pre-rooted LA6 rom so I used the CF kernel for LA6).
Now you have full root and CWMR so you can flash any rom you like. For ICS roms, install Mobile Odin, flash the ICS LP1 repack, reboot to recovery, do a full wipe and install any ICS rom you want to try.
Pre-rooted stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025

To my knowledge Triangle Away only does exactly what is says, it will remove the yellow triangle after you've flashed a custom kernel through pc Odin and thus having triggered the binary counter. To my knowledge Triangle Away is not able to reset the counter though I could be wrong as I've never used it myself. There is however a thread explaining how to remove both the triangle and reset the counter using a usb JIG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
Counter is reset
using triangle away does reset the counter as well as removing the triangle also says your rom is samsung original even if it is not!.
you must use the correct ics version to do this one that does work is I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK worked just fine on my note. It does not work on all current versions of ICS. enjoy
Thanks a lot for the info! I really didn't know and I thought I read somewhere that it didn't reset the counter.
does the triangle away work for GB phones? just wondering

Hi, maybe you already flashed, but this is how I did it. No problems at all.
Starting from stock GB. (Or you can flash stock through ODIN)
Used CF-Root to get Root and CWR on the phone.
Downloaded and flashed Abyss Kernel 4.2
rebooted recovery
flashed ICS ROM from sdcard.
Worked perfectly well for me.
Hope this helps.

As soon as you flash the rom, abyss kernel will be overwitten (you get CWM).
Now a piece of advice, there are great risk on flashing any rom based on leak repack, there is an issue with the kernel and the eMMC, which basically can fry your phone (if you are unlucky).
I personally decided to flash back to stock GB.... just in case. I'm not willing to gamble with my note, but that is me.
