currently im on F1 Galaxy S2 V7 rom and I would like to change to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155776 it's a XXJVU based rom so do i need to flash the clean stock XXJVU rom and do repartition first or I can just install the rom without any issues? thank you!
Both are GB custom roms. You can straightaway flash it in CWM.
Yes you can but its always better to do reparation with stock rom to avoid any conflict and errors.

I'm trying to flash a custom ROM + kernel and I'm running into some problems that I need tips for:
The main problem is that I can't easily flash Clockworkmod to do a backup. I'm on ZSJV6, and apparently this has 3e Recovery, which does not allow simply flashing from ROM Manager. Now I read that the answer to this is to flash the custom kernel CF Root- but what I plan to end up with is Darkyrom + Semaphore kernel, and Semaphore has CWM in it anyway. Do I have to flash CF Root -> Darkyrom -> Semaphore in that order?
Second question- If yes, which version of CF Root? I'm on official ZSJV6, and I see no JV6 version.
Third question- Do kernel versions and ROM versions have to match? I see the latest version of Darky is based on JW1, but Semaphore 2.5 is based on JVU. Can they be used together, and if so, does anything need to be done to make them play nice together?
Fourth question- How is JVU newer than JW1?
first - there is an easy enough way to skip the recovery. use this guide and rom first (cant link to it bugger)(go to darkys rom site. look for gti9000. then [ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000. that will put you on to darkys version of cwr. then flash the newer version of darkys rom to get to jv1 and after the semaphore kernal in recovery.
second - i have no idea. im guessing there the same.
3rd. i believe the kernel has to support the android version and the rom has to support the kernel(and vice versa) you can always try it anyway. if it boot loops just flash darkys 10.2 again to get back to basics.
4th - jvu is 2.3.6 and jw1 is 2.3.5 android
hey everyone
im flashing my phone back to stock in order to flash a new custom rom (themidteam 1.1) and i must start from GB or ICS based on LP5, now, as the rom im using is not based on LP5, i have to flash back to GB and start all over agine, now, my question is, how to flash the stock rom? do i simply flash it using odin? or there are other proccess?
and is there anyway to make my ICS rom (midnote 2.0) which is based on LP1, based on LP5?
sorry for these noob questions
and thanks
Yes Odin is the way
Flash stock GB (or one of the pre rooted stock GB) using Odin, get CF Root for that ROM and then follow the flashing procedure described in the OP of tue ROM you want to flash

Yes Abyss Kernel is a GB kernel, you can flash it on rooted GB ROMs and even keep it if you like it
After you flash ICS ROM (or restore an ICS backup) Abyss kernel will be over written by the kernel provided in the ROM zip (or backup zip)
hello guys ... i need a help to flash this rom ... but situation is.....
first i am with stock 2.3.6 and then ota updated to ics ... then rooted and by mobile odin i used to flash speedmood kernal ...
so i am with ics ...then i flashed a ics custom rom by using abyss kernal...
now i am with custom ics firmware... so can i flash this gb custom rom ???
if yes how ??? like again using abyss kernal...full wipe and flash any custom gb rom ?
switcing from custom ics to gb will give problem
Which ICS custom ROM are you on?
You can use PC Odin to go back to Gingerbread and then root it and flash a custom GB rom.
Or you can flash Abyss and then reboot recovery and flash a gingerbread custom rom. If you aren't on a stock ICS rom, you can probably just flash gingerbread rom from CWM (like if you are using CM9, franco kernel, or speedmod kernel).

This rom uses an unsafe kernel but for now there is no evidence that a kernel flash can hardbrick the phone. However, I think it's safer flash a secure one (like last speedmod or franco's which should be safe) with odin or mobile odin (extract the .zip until you have te zimage, then flash it), then flash a GB rom.
Otherwise, you can still flash a GB stock rom DIRECTLY ROOTABLE with odin (or MO), then obtain root + cwm and finally flash a gb custom rom with cwm safely.
Gingerbread custom ROMs
Hello Friends, I have asked this question before in another thread but unfortunately there have been no responses.
What are the various Gingerbread custom ROMs available for the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000? CyanogenMod 7 is based on Gingerbread but unfortunately the Galaxy Note is not officially supported.
I am presently on stock Gingerbread and I will be rooting my device in the coming few days. Having played around with stock Gingerbread, I would like to do the same with custom Gingerbread firmwares.
One more query, considering my current Android version is 2.3.6, am I subjected to using a custom ROM which is 2.3.6 or am I free to use any 2.3.x based?
I humbly request you all to respond to these queries of mine. Awaiting your apt replies.
First of all I'll start by saying I am currently on Infinitum v2.2 ROM (ICS 4.0.4).
I am willing to install a new ROM but I don't really get the installation procedure.
Most of the installation guides tell you to enter recovery, install the ROM zip, GAPPS zip, perform wipes and that's it.
Where have flashing stock ROMs, kernels, root and the rest of the Odin stuff gone?
If I want to move from one ICS ROM to another ICS ROM, is installing from recovery really enough?
Moved from SlimICS to ICS333 using recovery. Wipe, Flash ROM and then Google apps Or you can revert to GB and flash ICS ROM.
ODIN is for dealing with Samsung firmware (ie. stock ROM) only. Changing kernels via ODIN can be done because the firmware is still by Samsung. Same thing with the modem.
Anything to do with custom ROMs can only be installed by a recovery method.
Samsung isn't making an ICS firmware for i9000. Your only method to have ICS is via custom ROM.
Always follow instructions by the dev of the particular custom ROM you choose.
Hi. I am new into flashing in Android and considering of flashing to another rom , sweet rom to be exact. But there's this hard brick bug that is preventing me to do so. I am currently on Stock Jelly bean and it's too laggy , that's the reason why i wanted to flash to another Rom.
Anyway , is the JB kernel still not safe? As shown in the thread of sweet rom , it states there i would just have to flash my current stock kernel to Philz JB Kernel , to proceed into wipe. Some of the instructions are so foreign to me. Is the risk there? Also , i tried Chainfire's gotbrickbug app and it states i do have. That's why i am afraid into further flashing before i get some more information since i am still a newbie!
Thanks in advance bros!
hi,
asfar as i know you just have to flash a safe kernel
(i prefer K5-5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181599 - touristinparadise.blogspot.de/2013/03/samsung-galaxy-note-jb-download.html) trough odin.
after flashing you have the CWM, from there you can flash every ROM you want
I rooted on ICS 4.0.4 with CWM.zip x) not recommended because the kernel isnt safe (?), but it worked for me

Hmm , SweetROM instructions states to flash Philz JB kernel before wiping and then flashing? Sorry man , i'm quite a bit confused!
you can flash any safe kernel first,, philz or speedmod or hydracore.. as when you install the new rom.. it will replace the kernel with its own
