You should be able to flash most 2.3 roms out if you have the appropriate bootloader through recovery. Just put the ROM zip on your phone, clear cache, dalvic cache, and personal data in recovery and then flash the rom.
Really, just read the first couple opening posts of the rom thread and they will give you instructions on flashing and if there are certain steps you need to go through.

If ur on the leaked 2.3, then you don't have cwm in order to flash roms, so you need to flash a 2.3 kernel, via odin then flash rom. You can use the cog 5 kernel to do this. It has cwm4 and it's in the dev section.

Ok so I posted a thread earlier about how my usb drivers arent working at all so using odin to flash back to stock is not an option. I did however successfully root and install andromeda without them. Now heres the problem, I backed up the stock rom using rom manager. Anromeda installed a kernel and modem so I cant use rom manager to back up the rom unless I get the kernel and modem back. My question is could I somehow find the stock kernel file and use neldars sgs kernel flasher to flash the kernel back while still using the andromeda rom withouth having any problems? Also, will the modem affect my rom at all because I will change it as soon as i switch roms
H you can not flash a 2.1 Kernel on a 2.2 rom
Not sure what you are looking to do though
Im looking to install a different rom the problem is that I cant use odin because of the drivers not working. What im trying to say is if i flash the backup stock rom from rom manager its going to cause problems because its using andromedas kernel right?
Let me put it like this...is their another way to flash back to stock without using odin and without using a usb cable?

yes. you will need a CWM flashable zip of a 2.1 kernel and modem.
you would boot into CWM, flash that zip that includes kernel and modem, then restore your nandroid backup
ok thankyou!!! Ill try and locate the files myself but if anyone knows where they are and can tell me would be much appreciated.
why dont you just flash a 2.2 kernel with built-in clockwork mod recovery? you dont have to keep the kernel that came with your rom...
so... use sgs kernel flasher, why not? flash a new kernel then boot into its recovery (usually thrugh the power button menu on custom rom/kernels)...
Because I'm trying to install another custom rom, if i install a 2.2 kernel then flash back to.the stock rom which is 2.1 wont that cause problems?

Why bother flashing back to stock at all? Just flash the new Rom and save all the headaches having to screw with lagfix.

A better option would be to borrow a friends computer for a minute and fix everything properly...
If I flash a new rom while using Andromeda instead of stock wouldn't that cause.problems on the phone because of the.files being.mixed.or something

If you can get in to download mode, then you can use Odin or Hemidall. Most roms will root you automatically.
Not really. Not many roms are odin/heimdall. You need to root and install cwm to be able to install a custom rom

no you dont.
if you are on 3e recovery, then you just need to flash a kernel via ODIN that has CWM built in
CWM has nothing to do with root. on galaxy S devices it just creates an update.zip file
Rooting your stock ROM is actually not required to install a custom ROM, depending on which ROM you are installing. For some, all you would need to do is place the Clockworkmod update zip on you internal sd, along with the rom you want to install, then boot into CWM using 3-button combo, reinstall packages twice, install zip from sd and that should be it.
However, there are some details that you may encounter such as:
If you are on stock 2.2 you have to get around 3e recovery which wont allow you into CWM recovery without a hack. Or you can flash back to stock 2.1 to avoid this problem entirely (using ODIN3 1 click, if you know how)
This simple install is really for custom Froyo 2.2 ROMS, which looks like what you should be doing anyway if you have to ask this question.
Just READ as much as you can before you do anything.
If you simply dont like the idea of having root privileges you can remove root after installing a custom rom. I have done this for my friends in the past so they dont go do anything stupid on accident. There is a 1-click root/unroot app floating around the forums for the galaxy S that has worked for me on all 2.1/2.2 roms but never attempted with gingerbread as I use root and haven't flashed a friends phone in a while.
How do I flash different ROMS to my Captivate using stock out of box 2.2 ?

which rom do u want to flash? The easiest way is
Download and place ROM on your SD card
Download a custom kernel which includes CWM support.
Flash kernel.tar using ODIN to get CWM
Reboot into recovery and select Install zip from SD card.
Find your ROM and flash it
Op fyi That is if you're flashing a froyo(2.2.x) rom. A gingerbread rom (2.3.x) would require a step before the custom rom to flash gingerbread bootloaders with odin.
If you flash a gingerbread rom without the bootloaders first you will not be able to boot into recovery you will just get a weird scrambled screen.
OK I used ROM manager but I think I had a bad flash how do I redo the flash

Is Fasty 2.5 a Froyo or Gingerbread ROM?
Edit** Never mind, it's a 2.2 ROM.
You don't use ROM Manager to flash the ROM. Simply put the ROM on your SD, boot into recovery(Volume up+down+power), install zip, choose zip to install, select your ROM, and you're off

when you flash any new rom you are taking a risk to cause EMMC Bricke, so the solution for this is before you flash any rom you have to keep a copy of Abyss Note kernel on your external memory card, then restart your phone in recovery mod and flash the kernel after that make reboot in recovery mod again then follow the new rom flash instructions
Note:
1- when you flash the Abyss Note kernel you have to be sure that really you want to flash a new rom other wise your phone it will not work until you flash the new rom
2- no need to flash this kernel if you need only to update your currant rom

This is only applicable to stock ics roms and custom roms using stock ics kernel (don't think there are any anymore). Emmc is not triggered by flashing but by wiping which is done in menu, dialler, recovery, by changing csc or flashing a full wipe ics rom.
All gb kernels are safe from emmc, abyss is a gb kernel, so the same goes for any gb kernel.
Just to clarify.

I want to flash LQ2 over itself to stop root as unrooting isn't making the fact it has previously been rooted to the Sky Go app. Can I just flash LQ2 using Odin mobile and not risk the brick bug?

Use CWM to flash zips.
Use pc odin to flash tar files... Just wipe cache and flash it..
Using jbroid kernel script before flashing is perfect in CWM.

Depends on the kernel..Don't wipe with stock kernels which comes from Samsung officially...Flash a safe kernel first then Do wipes...
so flashing to the abyss is the safest way to upgrade then....great

Hi! So I've been trying to flash my phone back to GB Rom from my..I think its my stock ICS rom? (4.0.2) because I've rooted it already but haven't done anything else to it. I want to update it to CM 10.1 but I know it requires me to go back to GB before I can try to flash it to CM 10.1
I wasn't sure if I was able to flash my phone back down to GB Rom because I've been looking at threads.. and they said that doing that from an unsafe kernal (stock ICS) may result in a brick???
>< My Kernel Verison: N7000DXLP9-CL551076.
Not sure what to do. @[email protected]
Thanks for the help everyone
If you install a safe kernel on ICS, then you don't need to downgrade to GB. You can directly flash cm rom using Cwm.
On your ics rom you could install speedmod or hydracore kernel using mobile odin (as you said it's rooted) and boot into cwm, do the wipes and install cm rom.

Thanks for the response!! However.. I was reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796217
And it said if I flash from stock ICS... either way..roms based on ICS- it'll result in a brick? Wouldn't it be better for me to flash to GB first?
If you flash a safe kernel, it won't matter. But if GB is the way you want to go, it's safe too.

^Oh really? >< I just really don't want my phone to be bricked is all..because I did see the disclaimer on that thread. If I put a safe kernel on- would I still be on stock ICS?
I'm not even truly sure how to flash it back to GB because I'm not sure which GB rom to go to
Thanks
Forget crap about going back to GB and paranoic flashing instructions. Flash a PhilZ kernel (any zip version) from stock ICS, boot into new recovery, make a backup, do wipes and flash ROM. That's it.

Thanks a lot for everyone's help. I did flash speed mod kernel and then just flashed it to CM 10.1 and it works perfectly.
