Alright guys... This is my situation. I'm running the old Axura 2.2 edition. I saw some screenshots of nero v3 and and read that flashing different roms isn't that hard. The last thing I need is to brick my phone. Therefore I have some questions...
1) How do I flash a different rom from my current rom? Do I have to flash back to stock???
2) What is this Voodoo thing about? I see threads about it making your phone fast but then it can also brick while flashing????
Please help!!!!

1) Its prob safest to flash back to stock. It gives you a clean slate to go on,
2) Voodoo is commonly called a lagfix, but its more then that. It converts your file sytem from the facory rfs to an ext 4 format. Check out supercurios thread in the development section for mere info. PLEASE make sure its disabled before flashing another rom.
3) Read thru the nero thread for proper flashing instructions.

ok so i need to read up on Odin on how to flash back and currently going to supercurious thread... thanks!
Safest to flash back to stock (use odin), But....... you really don't have to. The risk is it might soft brick and then you would have flash back to stock..... So flash away can't hurt. Just remember if you have a lagfix on your phone disable before flashing
I have flashed from Axura 2.2 to Nero3 to heathen, to Ginger Clone and back to Axura I never flashed back to stock....... I have had no problem.......
For the most part they are from the same leak......... so the kernels are not that different.

ODIN tutorial for you...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810130
Going back to stock is not a necessity, but advised, since some settings and fragments from a previous ROM can remain and cause issues....not always though. You can always give it a shot, disable voodoo first, then just flash Nero through CWR.
wow thank you guys soo much... you guys cleared up everything... now im comfortable!
Glad to help. Let us know how it works out.

Hey folks
Well I have had my share of messups with my vzn fsc.
Things are settled now as I have been Ble to figure out the stuff.
So after trying superclen, evilfascination, and community rom I have come to the conclusion that personally (and no offence to no one) I like the stock roms more but without the samsung and verizon bloatware.
Could you great guyz suggest me the best debloated and all stock rom which is smooth to operate, has great battery life and doesnt hVe any known issues.
I would b highly thankful for the help, pl link me to the threads guyz.
Regards
UPDATE : guyz the kind suggestion given my dnoyeb here in the second post is really awesome and i suggest all should try this.

I ended up in going back to pure stock via odin. Then did the ota updates to ed03. From there did the following:
Odin cwm 2.5 from jt click here
3 finger on first boot into cwm
Install adryn's ed01 debloat/debing click here
Install imnuts -100 voodoo (or -50 or stock voltage) click here
Installed latest su zip pack (probably not needed) click here
Booted up, voodoo conversion
Then rebooted back to recovery, which is now 3.x after installing imnuts, installed following:
Sbrissen's tsm mod package click here
The shortlight package click here
Rebooted, all done.
Great battery life, runs great with launcherpro

If you followed the steps by dnoyeb, then you are correctly set up on a debloated/deodexed ED01 ROM. Your baseband is the modem/radio and would not have changed after you followed Adrynalyne's post to get to ED01 quickly. You flashed imnuts' ED03 ODIN package which would have given you the stock ED03 ROM and kernel, but not the ED03 modem so you were still at ED01 modem which is fine. Then you followed dneyob's steps to flash the ED01 Debloated/Deodexed ROM which would have changed you to the ED01 build from ED03 build. For all intents and purposes ED01 and ED03 are the same thing. ED03 simply added in a fix for those people who could not receive the ED01 OTA update. The verizon and android both flashing at the same time is just an overlapping boot animation that happened because as I recall you could not do a complete data wipe/factory reset for fear of losing the verizon network while you are in India. So other than that little quirk of the overlapping boot animations, you should be exactly where you wanted to end up - a debloated ED01 ROM and with imnuts' -100mv kernel you should see better battery life if your phone can handle the undervolting.
Congrats!
i guess i did exactly as you have outlined,
i am now gonna caliberate the battery and will revert tomorrow about the backup and stuff
love ya

when i first was learning how to root and flash, the thread for the evilfascination rom taught me everything i know. it does a great job in describing the steps to root and then flash the rom. i personally stuck with the evil fascination because its been so stable from the getgo and i love the overall theme of it. I kept getting peculiar bugs with comrom that i did not know enough yet to try and fix.
I suggest you go to the fascinate android development forum, and read the evil fascination thread.
I updated my post on the first page with links incase anyone else was looking at a quick rundown with links on how to get to a fully rooted / debinged / debloated type setup quickly.
Thanks a bunch matey.
God bless.

so you mean u didnt go for debloated ed01 from adryn and not even the kernal ?
if yes then someday i might also wanna try this out, coz as and when i use 3G my battery drains like hell with the debloated setup as well.
would appreciate some more suggestions.

with EA28 and ED04 + PBJ sv 531 kernal i get pretty much good backup and good 3g speeds too.
missed call was the issue which i am trying to solve with softlocker, seems to work
Have 2.2 trigger right now i just dont get how to flash any 2.3 rom i used one click to root and rom manager to flash im not that good with odin but know how to odin back to stock can someone give me a walk through and maby some links im not a complete noob just with odin
Here's a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
All you need to do for 2.3 is ODIN and then root and flash baby! Same thing for coming out of 2.3 as well. Good luck!
In case I get flamed for trying to help. ODIN is not necessary for flashing from every ROM to ROM. BUT when unsure it can't hurt.

There is no stock UCKK6 (2.3.6) but you can download and flash a Stock plus root version of UCKK6. See Entropy512's thread which is a sticky in the development forum.
...Or you can flash fully stock UCKH7 (2.3.4). See the link in my signature for the return to the store guide.

I will add this if you flashed UCLE5 via kies or any other method to get your ICS besides AJ's thread you have an unsafe kernel and possible eMMC SUPERBRICK BUG make sure you DON'T wipe data/factory reset before you flash this package do it after you flashed a safe GB kernel... If it were me knowing KK6 2.3.6 has battery drain issues I would flash KH7 2.3.4..... Just use creeys thread to get the files here is the link... GL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18859438&postcount=199 For KH7 stock or rooted.

i flashed I777UCKH7-REV02-home-low-CL503881.tar
that i had got from sammobile i didn't see the other post till now and i also upgraded to ics from kies i can get into download mode but when i try recovery i held power and volume rockers and it's suppose to flicker once it does not do this it just stays there
You can upgrade to the stock 2.3.6 by downloading the stock 2.3.4 firmware from the download repository here in our forums, then after you are booted into the operating system, go to settings, scroll all the way to the bottom to software update, and it will download and install 2.3.6. I wouldn't suggest it , just because I don't like it or think it runs well, but try it out. Good luck, happy flashing.

Why would they not take it back?? You never flashed any custom ROMS from here right? All you did was flash the AT&T ICS update via kies and it gave you problems right?
