UPDATE: I now have root and 4.1.2 through pc companion but what recovery can i use? i tried cwm it flashed but i dont see recovery. Anyone have a link for recovery and maybe 4.3 firmware and not the LT30p im on AT&T

Does not matter..but you need to have a 2.3.6 boot loader and CWM recovery to upgrade to ICS
If you are already using a 2.3.6 GB ROM all you need to do is Flash a semaphore kernel with Odin to get CWM recovery

you will bootloop, untill you use 2.3.6 bootloader and have CWM, its a requirement for GB>ICS
you can do it by just flashing a bootloader without changing ROM by using Ezboot from My Android Collections, link below

Just downgrade to .534 through flashtool and use nuts dual recovery installer then flash any of the latest rom from the development section.
Dowgrade via Flashtool, Install DualRecovery then install the Pre-Rooted FTF .757 from Here:

Stat from How to update to 14.3.A.0.757:
I have flashed a stock Rom for 12.1.A.1.201 version, I cant update it to .205 via pc companion, is this expected? what can i do?
i was on .569 fw before and i try to update it to the latest fw which is .283 using pc companion. after i try to update it, it says update failed. it is because i rooted and unlocked my bootloader before.
so i relocked my bootloader and flash stock .569.ftf using flashtool. and try to update to .283 using pc companion again. it finally worked. i succesfully upgraded my phone to the latest fw .283.
but then i realised root is gone, and i cant access cwm reovery when phone boots and pressing volume down button over and over again.
so i guess my cwm recovery is gone too.
so since im on fresh stock .283 fw, i need someone to give me a cwm recovery for me to flash on fastboot mode using flashtool.
and can i root .283 just by flashing superuser.zip that i flashed on .269 to root .283?
thanks in advance. i need it urgent though.

You will need to flash .230 kernel then root using any method mentioned ( like towel root) then re-flash the .283 kernel. once you have root, you can flash NUT's recovery for your phone. you can not directly flash. you will need to use computer to run recovery batch file
Anybody tell me, is there a way to flash stock rom with root and deoxdexed and recovery preinstalled via flashtool.

U can flash stock rom... Then root it,install recovery and de odex it... Why u need pre rooted rom? if there is way to root it easily...
I know that but its difficult to get drivers everytime fot flashtool and its difficult to root latest firmware
Flashtool is for flashing unmodified stock firmware packages only in flashmode. You can't make modified FTF files.
