[Q] What do I need before I flash DarkKnight ICS?

I have to post here because I can't post in the direct thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510940
How do I actually install this? I've flashed ROMs before and I assume I can flash this one through CWM but it doesn't say what base OS you need to have running on the phone in order to flash it.

What rom are you currently running? If you are running one of the ics asop roms then I think you are good to go

I Suggest if you come from Stock ROM
Flash a Kernel with CWM (CF-ROOT kernel with Addon, my Favorite) with Odin/Heimdall
Boot into CWM Recovery Mode
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
WIPE CACHE PARTITION
Flash latest CyanogenMod (be sure, you do it with full version)
Boot into CWM Recovery Mode
WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET
WIPE CACHE PARTITION
Flash the DarkKnight ICS
Have Fun !
I know it isn't the Best Way, but it surely will do if you like that !
Don't forget to thanks [if it useful was for you]

I was more asking which ROM to come from.
I ended up flashing 2.3.5 JVT and then this over the top of Semaphore kernel.

[Q] Slim ICS problem! Bootloop, tried everything!

So the other day I tried to flash Slim ICS on to my i9000 but I failed. There's like three methods you can try between if the first one doesn't succeed... Non of them worked for me. I still got the same boot loop on every method, every time. What am I supposed to do? Can someone please be so kind and write me a step by step tutorial of how to install Slim ICS. Worth mentioning is I'm on Darky's gingerbread rom JVQ v10.2 RES.

You flashed ICS Kernel first? Tried to install the Rom twice? First to install Kernel and second to install Rom?

Step 1. Boot into CWM recovery.
Step 2. Wipe data/Factory reset.
Step 3. Mounts and storage> Format / System.
Step 4. Advanced> Wipe Dalvik cache & Wipe Battery stats.
Step 5. Install from SD card...
i. Flash Base_3.6.zip
ii. Flash Base_3.6.zip again
iv. Flash 3.6_I9000_Essentials.zip
v. Flash any other .zips you require like face unlock
**Step 6. Flash an alternative kernel like Siyah or NEAK, SOD reports from users of stock kernel. I flashed Siyah from the beginning when I updated to 3.6 so can't comment.**
Reboot.
Happy days!
**EDIT: SORRY don't flash Siyah or NEAK because they are GT-I9100 kernels!! Ma bad!

I tried to install the rom twice without any luck. I haven't tried to install ICS kernel first though. Do you recommend one?

I've followed step 1-5 with no luck whatsoever. I haven't tried step 6. I will probably end up in a boot loop after step 5 so how do I install the kernel? Should I put the kernel on the SD card together with the rom and the essentials and flash the kernel before the reboot after step 5?

You could flash your I9000 with another ICS via Odin and then try??

OMG! I'm panicking! I just cannot get it to work... I've tried everything! Done all the methods recommended. Flashed semaphore ICS 1.1.1 and it still won't work! The only taste of this "well spoken of" rom I can get is through slim ICS v2.6, it doesn't boot loop but when booted I can't seem to get any 3g or signal. So not even that works. I WANT THIS ROM SO BADLY! Please someone help me!

Follow a thread like Team ICSSGS for dummies or ICS333 to get ICS on your phone then follow steps below (from Slim website).
From another ICS ROM
1. Download my latest Base + Essentials (from downloads page download zip not md5)
2. Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)
3. Flash Base*** AND Essentials, Reboot to system.
*** - If the base flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash base before flashing essentials.
You can also clear cache & dalvik cache,clear nstools & init'd (advanced menu). You should clear cache & dalvik cache, nstools & init'd before flashing semaphore. Also once in ROM it is best not to actually use nsTools but rather use semaphore app.
No need to clear battery. My battery is as good as ever and I've never done this and I've flashed a lot of different ROMS.
if you are coming from gingerbread you will need to flash a modem.

2. wipe data/factory reset
3. wipe cache partition
4. install cm-10-20121030-nightly-p990.zip (success install)

Thanks for the help

What am I doing wrong?
Hi!
I never used CM7 or any custom rom.
I had 20s flashed via kdz.
I'm root. I installed ClockWorkMod recovery 4.0.0.5 and made clean cache, wipe dalvik etc.
I installed CM10 from zip (it only took a few seconds!) and rebooted. It showed two LG logos and never passed that.
I kept reading and saw this thread so I used smartflash to go back to FROYO, rooted, installed CWM and installed the last CM7 nightly (only a few seconds!) and rebooted.
All I get is a static LG logo and nothing else. I don't know what to do!
Thanks and sorry about my english!

How do I install Nvflash? I have found tutorials for it but they are for the g2x. Will it still work?

I bought an o2x to replace my sgs1 which is great with cm10.
My story:
Phone was used and bone stock with froyo and 725bb
Rooted
Installed rom manager then flashed cwm 6.0.1.5 from rom manager
wiped everything
installed latest CM7
usb mass storage stopped working (was working with stock froyo)
copied latest cm10 nightly and gapps to an sdcard
wiped again
flashed cm10 and gapps
now I'M stuck on cyanogenmod logo and the lower buttons are lightning
repeated the process few times and still stucked at cm logo
Any ideas? Thanks!
*Update* Removed the battery and restarted the phone and now it seems to be working!

Did you do all three wipes? If not, first do that. Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, then go to Advanced & Wipe Dalvik Cache. Then to Mounts & Storage, Format Cache, Format Data & Format System. Now try to install ROM and again do all three wipes and this time don't touch Mounts & Storage. Hope, this will work.
If the above procedure fails then go to Stock ROM and then install CM9 or CM10. You can use Odin to flash the Stock ROM.

I installed stock 2.3.4 with odin and I try to install again but same error. It stucks at Samsung Logo.
There is something. When I select wipe Data/Factory reset there is one error "format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"

What recovery are you using ?

How to install CM11

How to install CM11 on a stockbased ace if you cant use CWM for it on stock based roms?
Do you use the stock recovery to install CM11 rom first?
What standard procedure is being used?

First flash CWM 5.0.2.6 from your stock recovery, How-to and download link is pinned in the main thread of S5830 !
Then you can flash CWM 6xx recovery which will then install the CM11 ROM !
