The question is really in the title, what do I flash first when upgrading from darky froyo to ICS, the kernel or the rom?
Thanks!

Follow instructions for the particular ROM you want to flash
They usually don't mention the kernel, only the rom :/

The kernel is pretty much always included in the.zip, if you want to change from the ROM kernel to another, then usually just a case of using a cleaning script, or manually clearing cache/dalvik and a couple of others (init.d & Ns tools usually) and flash away
upgrade 2.2 to ics
You have to burn GB stock-rom 2.3 with odin first !!!
after you finish you need gb kernel like semaphore 1.8 also burn with odin (give the stock root).
and finnely flash the ics rom you wont (with the dev Specific rom Guidelines)

Afaik you don't need gb bootloader to flash to ics, (see slim website) however it is a good idea to in case you want to revert to gb, but in that case it is easier just to flash the boot loader....see nitr8s ezboot thread
Hi, I know it's been a really long time of the thread but what I know ALWAYS FLASH THE ROM FIRST AND THEN THE KERNEL

can anyone tell me which ROM uses 2.3.3 gingerbread firmware as a base firmware of any ROM in this forum?? i tried reading but had a hardtime figuring out which one of those uses a 2.3.3 firmware as a base of the ROM?
do the darky's rom uses 2.3.3 base firmware??
hi
just read OP of every rom in DEV forum it will tell you what that rom is built on
regards
Are you asking about which ROM is flashable through ODIN, so that you can install a custom ROM directly without the need of installing a stock base ROM?

SGS is flying. It is very close to stock rom. I tried Darky's rom RC5, but could not match with Simply Honey in quadrant score.
All the roms that have 2.3.3 or the word Gingerbread in the post heading are what you want .

"1) Follow This guide to install GB Bootloaders: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1047924
2) Make sure you have first done a nandroid total backup and a backup of your apps with Titanium Backup
3) Install via Odin a Modded Kernel (like SpeedMod or Damian)
it says on the simply honey instruction that i have to install a kernel?? ahm, which kernel is that faster or the best kernel in your opinions? my phone is so i dont need to backup anything does it matter installing the rom?? what are bootloaders for? sorry for noob questions. im totally new on this phone. just making sure everything goes well to avoid bricking my phone.
there are too many ROM that use 2.3.3.....
example: JUWE(my favourite), simply honey, darky, MIUI n others........

I think the best kernel is DamianGTO Ultimate Ginger Kernel (Gold V2.0)......
go to this link http://forum.damiangto.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=27.........
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!!

Also if i flash the ics repack...to go back to a different rom that is not aosp do i need to odin a stock rom or can i just flash new rom via recocery or no because chinese base?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
maybe if i ask different?
ok first my kernel is this:2.6.35.7-n70000xxla4-cl886827 [email protected]#2
ok now to the ?'s
i *think* i realize if i download certain rom/kernal combos i lose root?
i bought mobile odin pro can i just flash the ics repack via that app?
i know currently( i think i know at least) if im trying to put a ics rom on my phone i must use the repack first true?
can i just flash the repack with my current kernel?
if yes when i choose to go back to gingerbread do i need to flash a different repack?
is my kernel ok to flash different types of roms?
sorry for such stupid ?'s this is just way different from what im used to!

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!!
Last question!!!

Here you go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1349
Just make sure you are choosing the correct rom thread. Read carefully some roms will say its ICS themed...so those are still GB roms with ICS theme-ing over them.
hi everyone
i'm on ics stunner 1.4.26.1 and baseband (i9220ZCLP5) and kernel (3.0.15-i9220ZCLP6) and i want to flash a cyanogenmod rom but how to do that if i'm on affected kernel right ?
please help me guys
You have the affected kernal all i did was flashed a stock gb rom using pc odin and then started all over again but never use the leaked repack again if i was you i would just flash stock gb rom then root and flash recovery and then try the offical ics update before going to cm9 !
But please read this before doing anything

Go all the way back to GB first.
PC Odin one of the pre-rooted GB Roms.
Then go to Chainfires CF-Root thread and download the corresponding kernel
(i.e. if you flashed LC1 Rom, download LC1 CF-Root kernel) and flash it through
Mobile Odin to inject CWMR.
Reboot and let the Rom settle.
Download CM9 and Gapps.
Reboot into CWMR.
Flash CM9, flash Gapps.
Do a full wipe (factory reset/cache/dalvik)
Reboot and enjoy.

Sorry, unable to help you there with anything concrete. My Note never behaved
like that, neither on GB nor on ICS.
But I know that similar graphic issues affect a number of Notes. There's a longish
thread in General about it, with gazillion posts.
It seems that some Notes are more affected by graphic driver glitches (if that
causes it?) than others.
Hi,
I have stock ICS rom LP4 which custom rom is safe to flash?
I once tried to flash abyss kernel 4.2 it bricked my phone, i had my motherboard replaced.
So just wanted to confirm which custom rom's I can flash.
--->First flash a stock GB ROM of your country by following dr.Ketan's guide.
--->Since you have already once bricked you MB,I guess you wouldn't be feeling safe with a brickbug kernel so flash ROMs which use the CM9 kernel as base.The ones which I know about are-ParanoidAndroid,AOKP,MIUI,CM9(duh).
--->You can also try flashing ROMs which use franco kernel,speedmod kernel.
--->NEVER WIPE from a stock ICS kernel.
For more info on installing above ROMs check individual threads in the development section and follow the instructions word-for-word.
But i have heard downgrading also has problems

I really don't think abyss kernel bricked your device. There might be another reason...

Like ?
Flashing a stock GB ROM via PC Odin has absolutely no problems at all.
Yup flashed a GB rom now analysing which custom rom to flash
me also Mine should be arriving any time soon ! cant wait to flash Paranoid Android. Is it necessary to downgrade to GB if the Note comes with official ICS ?
I thought I just need to flash a safe kernel (abyss) then flash the ROM ?
NEVER flash CM9 release from an ICS kernel.

Looks like the Stunner ROM thread is dead here. I'm on stunner rom 1.6.26 (kernel version3.0.32-CM-g12ef675) and I want to get on another rom. What all do I have to do in order to get off of Stunner rom safely? What roms would you recommend that I move too and why?

You are on safe kernel so can flash custom roms directly using cwm. But to avoid any issue best is to flash pre-rooted GB rom using odin and then flash any custom rom you like.
My personal fav are Kingdroid, Criskelo and there is no why, I like them does not means others will like them too, it's just matter of personal choice as all roms are almost equally good .

Thanks for the reply jeetu1981. Is there a certain Pre Rooted GB ROM that I should use to flash? Or do I download a GB rom and THEN root it? Do I use PC odin or Mobile odin? Seems that since I'm on a safe kernel can I just install a rom using a zip, wiping everything and still be safe? Would that be easier or do you recommend I just flash the GB rom first?

Look at my sig. for pre rooted GB, flash it via odin. For better performance GB is recommended but you can flash any custom rom directly as well (being on safe kernel), try it and if you see any lags or issues in performance then do a fresh flash
And yes, wipe is safe on CM and safe custom TW ics kernels. And I would have directly flashed another rom in this situation

there are two ways..
First
Flash a gb rom or prerooted gb rom via pcodin or mobile odin
Or
As you are on stunner which uses a safe kernel just go to recovery,do wipes,flash rom and reboot.as simple as that...
