All,
I've been using the official Samsung / Vodafone UK version of 2.3.6 (I believe XXJW4) for a while now (updated via Kies) - and slowly but surely my phone seems to be dying a slow death (incredibly laggy...literally sometimes taking up to 30 seconds to respond and apps not working at all).
I've come to the point where I need to do something about it...
I've read lots of threads about flashing kernels, roms, etc...but I think I've read far too many and confused myself !
I've chosen the ROM I want to try (SlimICS) and have downloaded the 2 recommended files. I have also downloaded Odin and a CM9 (nightly) ROM. I'm really not sure where to go from here.
I know I need to root the device..but my understanding is I need to choose a relevant Kernel to root with...and I'm not sure what I should be choosing ?
Once I'm rooted I believe I need to install the CM9 ROM before then installing the SlimICS Rom and then the essentials addon. My issues is that I'm a bit stuck at the first point (flashing the kernel).
I'd very much appreciate some advice on this...I know there's lots of info out there - but I think I've just read too many different threads and got in a bit of a muddle !
Thanks in advance !
Hi man!
Yes,you have to flash an other kernel which allows you to install custom roms via recovery.
I advice you to flash CF-ROOT 4.4 via Odin putting your phone in download mode,connecting it to PC(vol down+home+power when your phone is off),select only the PDA folder where you put the .tar file of the kernel.
After that,put the .zip file of the rom you want to install on your sd-card,go to recovery mode(vol up+home+power when your phone is off),select with the volume selectors "wipe data/factory reset","wipe cache","advanced-->wipe dalvik cache" and "install zip from sdcard"
Good luck!
P.S: this is the kernel(extract the .tar file from the zip)http://download.chainfire.eu/155/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.zip
P.S2: if Odin doesn't find your GS,install these driver---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929

Thanks for your reply...i will give that a go later.
Out of interest do the custom ROMs generally have alternative kernels as part of them or do people flash a different kernel once they have put a new rom on?
I presume the kernel you have recommeneded is a stock kernel but rooted? Does this work ok with ICS roms or will I be best flashing a different kernel once I have ICS up and running?
Thanks again!
I've also been wondering about this...

Yes,it's a stock kernel with root permissions and it's ONLY for Samsung firmwares..
There are different kernels for ICS rom that doesn't work on GB
Usually a custom rom has a modded kernel but you can flash an other one created for that Android version.

Just a few quick questions please.
a) Will there be any problems installing a rom which isnt created for the firmware? Example if Im on 2.3.5 and I installed a Rom which is made for 2.3.6, will there be any issues?
b) I understand that most roms comes with its own kernels, so if Im installing a Rom which has a KKA kernel and my phone is on a KJ4, do I need to install a KKA kernel 1st before installing the rom?
thanks
1) Always, on any phone, when you want to install a ROM with different basement than yours, needed full wipe before.
2) never instal a kernel before ROM.First the ROM, after the kernel.all kernel threads in op, you can see if its compatible with your rom filmware version.

Sorry for the bump but I need little explanation on both of these questions though I have Galaxy SII. I think I don't need to make any other thread asking same questions.
Thanks.
I make sure I do a full wipe every time I flash a different ROM.
This is not the case for ROM updates. I only full wipe when the update tutorials says I need to.
And as said before, make sure you flash the ROM first THEN the kernel.
In the case of the G-Note, both AbyssNote and FM kernels are compatible with CF-Root custom kernel.
Hmm.. then is there anyway to backup your stock ROM without root OR you have to first root the device, back it up and then flash another ROM?
Yes, you can backup the stock ROM after rooting the device and installing CWM.

Hi guys, i have looked but cant find.
what i want do try and achieve is to pull the rom from my ace with all installed apps/settings that i have installed.
basicly i have AOSP Beta 1 over XWKS2 stock,
launcherpro
cyanogenmod setings
cm7.x gps patch
i have a backup made via cwm5 but this is just a retore folder.
i would like to create a fully flashable rom of my current rom/settings/patches.that can be used via Odin.
the purpose of this is so i can have my rom backed up and flashable, just like a stock rom, and so i can try other roms without having to flash back to stock then flash AOSP and then flash patches and cyanogenmod setting, wich is a bit of a nightmare "trying new roms on daily basis and having to flash back due to bugs or poor performance"
if someone can help me create a flashable backup in a noob friendly way i would be very greatfull.
i love my ace as it is at the moment, its perfect for me. it would just be nice if i could flash back to my custom rom in 1 flash rather than many + having to add all patches after,
this would be amazing if anyone can help.
Yes I'm still interesting to do that also from my S5830i
Odin is only for stock roms. You cant flash custom roms using Odin.

So i traded my att ver for int ver.
It seems to be rooted with the beginers way as the thread called it.
Well i want to flash ics roms etc...
Do i need to root it differently?
Or can i juat follow directions in thread and all will be ok?
Also will i need to really pay attention to different buolds etc..or can i just wipe all going from rom to rom like im used to?
Sorry for noobness but man this is different from what used to!!

can i just flash the repack with my current kernel?

You don't seem to be rooted and seem to be on a LA4 rom which is not directly rootable.
Follow this guide step by step to downgrade first and then root your rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Once you have root and CWM installed you can flash different roms.
Yeah you can flash the ICS repack via Mobile Odin Pro
Yeah before flashing a ICS rom you are advised to flash the ICS repack first.
You can flash ICS repack from the CF kernel or any other custom kernel but not with the stock kernel.
If you need to go to gingerbread you can download the GB rom and flash it in recovery. (before doing so just make sure of the kernel first...in some ICS roms the default kernel (recovery too) will not allow zips to be flashed...so you need to flash a different kernel (recovery too) before flashing a GB rom )
thank you so much.
as i stated this phone was traded to me
i do believe it is rooted tho...one way im sure of this is just i have SU access to everything also i have the CWM app installed on the phone. in the app it says the kernel is CF-ROOT 5.0
idk which kernel that is or if i have to change it to do anything else?
If you need to go to gingerbread you can download the GB rom and flash it in recovery. (before doing so just make sure of the kernel first...in some ICS roms the default kernel (recovery too) will not allow zips to be flashed...so you need to flash a different kernel (recovery too) before flashing a GB rom )
on this just so i know!
once i use the repack i can still flash GB roms without having to do some other type of repack? and are all CF root kernels flashable to any rom?
Well then you are good to go. You can choose the rom you want to go for. Read the instructions there (in the thread of that rom).....they will advise you to flash the ICS repack first so do that and flash their rom after wiping and clearing caches and dalvik.
Have a great roming day (lol i just made that up)
Cheers!! Hit thanks if it helped

Yeh you can use any GB roms. No repack of any other kind is required to revert to GB.
Just some change of kernels.
Thank you thank you and hit button couple times for you!!

th rom ur talking abt is tw based? vl it hv premium suite apps?
What I recommend, based on what I did:
- Download the leaked German official ROM (about 600-700Mb), .tar.md5 file and put into your phone's sd-card.
- Install Mobile Odin Pro from Play Store (need to pay. there's free version too, but I suggest you pay for Pro, safer).
- In M. Odin, open the .tar.md5 file, and press flash. (if you don't mind wiping, best to also check the wipe options).
I didn't wipe, and then it couldn't boot.
So I booted into recovery, and wiped data/factory reset and cache, then it booted fine.
Still had root.
Then I installed CF-Kernel. Go to the Dev thread and scroll down till you see the GT...LPY version and download that zip. Unzip to take out the .tar file, copy to sd-card.
Use Mobile Odin to open it, and then flash. It will flash the kernel, and then you will have ClockworkMod recovery so that you can backup/restore ROMs again.
(Note: You can actually do the above in one single step, but opening the CF kernel file after you open the ICS file, so that everything else points to the ICS file except the kernel points to CF Kernel.)

Dear Mods/devs any body who can help me!
I am stuck in a unique situation and no matter what i cant figure out a way out of this!
Before posting this have been through Abhisahara's thread on rooting and kernels, Dr Ketan's thread and many more but all confused!!
My problem is i am on the Superbrickable ZCLP5 kernel with ICS Stunner 1.4.19 which i have been using since it first launched without any problems.
As per gotbrickbug App, i have the problem of potential superbrick.
I need to go to another ROM but just cant figure a way out as now am more confused as to what really to do!!
I already have the hydracore kernel downloaded and the stock GB Rom(unrooted - V KL1) with me sitting on my PC alongwith PC ODIN.
Can anybody help me with installing the Paranoidandroid rom and which is the best way to avoid the emmc_CAP_ERASE problem!!
Many thanks!!

Take it easy, you're fine. If you've installed HydraCore it means you're on a safe kernel. Just download pc Odin if you haven't already.
What rom do you want to go to? I'd recommend for safest operation, install gb stock, then look at upgrade but it depends on which rom you want to flash.
Emmc bug is only triggered on stock kernels or under some cwm flashes which most people don't do, so take it easy, you're ok.

1. Flash hydracore kernel.
2. Reboot recovery.
3. Make sure you are on hydracore kernel.
4. Do what ever you want.
If you still being scare of doing this. Just follow jeetu suggestion. Go back to gb pre rooted rom by using pc odin. Then use mobile odin to flash rooted kernel. After get full root, go recovery and flash cm9. Done.

Flashing Hydracore doesn't affect root, you will be rooted and can flash PA directly using cwmr after flashing hydracore.

I would recommend you go with the long route of installing stock GB first. I saw the installation instructions of PA (i'm not sure though if that's an outdated tutorial or if it's still the current one to date), but it explicitly tells you that you need to be on stock GB before installing PA. I'm open to corrections though from those who have PA already installed but personally,it would be good if you start from scratch and work your way up to eventually install PA.
That's just my advice to you.
Hi,
I got a question, I have flashed the kernel to the hydracore one, have root and CWM but I am still on the ICS stock ROM. Is it possible to go directly to paranoid one without the need to downgrade to GB ?
By the way, can you provide a link to dl paranoid ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Ok but as I can see the ROM is only 160 MB as other ROM (stock for example are almost 700MB), I don't want to lose some essential functionalities by flashing to an incomplete ROM. How to know which file to dl from the Gapps is there on this one that you have the 500 MB missing ?
Thanks again and sorry for my poor knowledge
All aosp roms are that size.. It's a completely different experience as aosp roms are pure Google experience with no Samsung or any other retailers custom launcher and bloat..
It depends on Wich functionalities do you have in mind?
