Thanks 4-2,
Second question......Do I need to go back to stock gingerbread before flashing 4.0.4 - ICS - AoCP CP 2.1 - The Collective or can I flash over top after wiping davlik and cache , partitions???
Im running Mosiac XI now

U should be able to just follow the install instructions in the OP of the ICS 4.0.4 AoCP CP 2.1 Rom and be good to go. (This is an excellent ICS Rom by the Collective, btw.)
...U could flash back to Stock KK4 if u want the i897 GB Bootloaders...since u may have i9000 GB Bootloaders being on Mosaic IX ?? Up to u though.

Again many Thanks 4-2, I figured Id give the collective first shot with ICS since Mosaic was one of the best Roms Ive flashed.
Guess I'll be flashing it tomorrow.

Good call !! :thumbup:

Ok , flash failed....Status 7 error. Any Ideas???

^
Not sure why u got that error. No one has reported that in the AoCP CP 2.1 ICS 4.0.4 thread.
From reading around, it has something to do with the updater script etc.
Anyway, i suggest u do two things. Get into the cwm recovery u have now and then mount usb and copy a fresh download of the Rom to ur phone. Then copy this kernel.zip that is just the kernel from CP 2.1 release...posted here--- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30523384 . Install that kernel through ur current cwm 1st. Then reboot to that cwm recovery and flash the rom again. Be sure to do the wipes etc. that r posted in that Roms OP.
And be sure to eject ur phone from the pc the correct way...see this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29998391.
edit: search "status 7 error" in the Search This Forum tab of this Q & A Forum...search Show Posts. There u will find a lot of helpful info.

Ok, downloaded the new kernel and redid the wipes and flashed the rom again , then reflashed just for good measure. Rebooted and it went right back to revovery and does every time I rebooted. Tried flashing back to Mosaic but that flash failed Staus 0 message. So after playing with it a while I decided to flash another Rom. Again , did all the wipes and flashed HellyBean ....Rebooted right back to recovery again , I'm at a loss...Anyone??? And yes I thought about using odin and going back to stock but Odin won't recognize my phone...Windows does , ADB does but not Odin

When initially going to an ICS Rom from a Stock Rom u will have to flash it twice. First from the cwm that u had from where u started and then second from the next cwm recovery that loads. ---- So when the recovery boots back, just select to install the Rom again. ---- It should load the Rom on that second install.

Yes. U ll get everything back along with kernel.
Its a safe method to restore bcoz gb roms are safe one. Abyss use GB kernel. bt brick is never been guaranteed . Just stick wid the instructions and everything will be good..

[Q] Note stays on splash screen after installing ParanoidAndroid

Hi,
So I've recently tried to root my Note and put it on PA0.5 ROM and it gets stuck on splash screen. Dr.Ketan told me to use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763151 and I've followed it completely. But as soon as I get to install via recovery it gets stuck. I've read threads like this but most people loose recovery and get stuck but mines stuck w/ recovery. So please someone help me!
Thanks

P.s. As soon as I get this fixed I can start making my LGUI3.0 ROM

In what situation you are in now ? Are you trying to flash ICS stock rom now ? If it so I would recommend to stop it and flash GB Rom using PC Odin.
I was on stock ICS originally, followed that guide to get on GB+ROOT. Flashed PA in recovery and it doesnt fail, it 'installs' and then i reboot and it doesmt work.. Also o did wipe everything
Back on stocl ICS

Don't worry, if you don't know what it is then you didn't repartition. Do you know what version of cwm recovery you have? Press and hold power, home and volume up till it reboots into cwm.

Yes... I did it..
N nothing brick issues..
ICS rom is safe..
which makes the brick is the stock ICS kernel...
So do not do the wipe when you're still using the stock kernel..
Flash Abyss kernel first..
N then do the wipe using abyss kernel..

You are on custom rom so flash GB firmware, so that you can wipe safely after flash (wipe after flash is required in most of the cases).
A little confused here.... If I flash a GB Rom how am I supposed to Wipe without CWM and Root????
when u r on gb rom.. u can reboot into stock recovery and do a data factory reset. it's 100 % safe

Download philz kernel of yr region code n flash it in stock recovery.
This get a safe kernel on yr phone n also rooted.
Then download odin v1.85 n stock rom of yr region.
Once rooted go to cwm n wipe cache n data n then
Get yr phone into download mode n flash stock rom using pc odin.
You don't need cwm to do a wipe, stock recovery will do the job also.

u can but if you are trading ur phone u want to wipe everything and if u install ICS its not 100% safe.. so GB > Wipe > ICS is the best option
I can do that with a Custom GB-Rom too? then CWM > wipe data, and then flashing the original with Odin with the download-mode?
Yes u can .. issue is with stock ICS kernel

Hi,
I need help rooting my Samsung Captivate running Gingerbread 2.3.3 I896UXKH2

Now I tried to root it again using SuperOneClick 2.3.3, but it doesn't seems to be working.
Any ideas?

You could flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 for both root and cwm
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Hey martin.y,
If u r just wanting to flash a Developer's Rom in the end...then just use TRussello's guide in the Q & A Forum. It is a stickied thread. Or simply do as BWolf56 stated above---Flash the KK4 Corn Kernel (.tar file version) through Odin3 v1.85 or similar (the kernel.tar goes in the PDA slot). Of course u should know that u r flashing that kernel from Download mode. Takes less than a couple minutes for the whole process. Reboot into the CWM Recovery that is included in the Corn Kernel and select to install ur Rom of choice that u should already have copied onto ur phone's internal sdcard. And prest-o change-o ! New Rom.
Or as BWolf56 stated above also, u can simply get Root through the CWM advanced menu options of the Corn Kernel. :good:

I did read actually , tried reflash the cm10 more than 50times and wipe system/cache and dalvik many times but it still didnt work at all, just now i tried it again and guess what it boot into cm10 finally.
If u read, flashing from froyo or GB need to go through da step from CM7 (stock GB) > CM9 (ICS flash twice as phone memory repartition) > CM10/10.1 (JB also flash twice)

well it worked now without flashing cm7 and cm9. By the way, the install guide at wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd said The install guide assumes the Galaxy S is running Android 2.3 at the important notes so i just followed the instruction only, flash straight from stock gm to cm10 worked like a charm now.

They really assume that you're running 2.3.6. People have had problems with flashing custom roms from any oter version (especially 2.3.3)
