I had similar problem. I solved it by flashing 2.3.6 stock to get the old bootloader then flash cf-root and you can flash criskeloROM through CWM or eventually flash CF-root on ICS

if you just want root (without CF kernel)
just use the usual updt.zip via recovery
it work
if you need the file (root and unroot zip available)

I think if you format all the partitions correctly in rfs manually (either using CWM or other tools) it should be fine
kinda risky..because dont know how to..
maybe ill just flashed asian xxjlc which is on full package 2.2.1..
then one package dxkc1 asian also then the kpd one package..
is that safe?
hope so..
this is the link to downgrade..is this safe also for us using cm7.1?

You will need stock recovery for the upd_1 method. Flashing apboot of the firmware using Odin should revert the recovery I think?
didnt get your last sentence..hehehe..
upd_1 works..i had experiment..tried it last night..hihihi..thanks..
works on stock on cf-root. thanks
Root with the same procedure as you did before.......

Yes, if you had searched you would have found one of the last 20+ threads about this
1) Download old gingerbread bootloaders and a rom from this thread
2) follow instructions on flashing rom/bootloaders from that thread
3) you are back on gingerbread, congratulations.

i guess he firstly flashed siyah to get the CWM app. i do not know if siyah works on ICS.
he might have flashed the appropriate CF-ROOT kernel from Chainfire's thread.

If you have flashed the ICS bootloaders you need to flash the GB bootloaders back (Or it wont boot or be unstable), nandroid doesn't touch the bootloaders.

If there is another ROM with pure ICS i can flash easily with odin.. or any other help I would be very glad..

What insecure and secure kernels did you flash? And where did you get them from?
My guess is you flashed kernels either not meant for your device, or you flashed a Gingerbread kernel on an ICS firmware, or vice versa.
In any case, you need to include more info. What build are you on? What did you flash?
I got the kernel from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671
GT-I9100P_BVKI2_original
that is the one i downloaded.
can i just re flash the stock rom will that solve the problem?

Well, that is a Gingerbread kernel. However, not knowing what your actual firmware version is, I can't say why it failed. Maybe you were on ICS? Or if you were on Gingerbread, the firmware version was too disparate from the kernel version.

Yeah, it should. Until you try to root again. If you flash that firmware, do NOT try to root using the same insecure kernel you did before.
Once i have flashed it back to stock is there a solid way to root ics particularly that rom?

great thanks flashing stock rom worked!!!!!
hi there so I have a small problem I have a galaxy s6 edge here international version unlocked that won't take any other rom apart from the rom in which I have it running... A Little Background ... the phone itself had a message saying it failed its last update so I downloaded kies and the other new recovery programme non of them would help repair the problem so I downloaded the stock rom and tried to flash via odin and all I get is a fail. it cannot find correct directories . so I then used odin to flash twrp which worked a treat and I downloaded a few roms . one of which worked all others did not ( all got stuck in a boot loop ) so I used a little trick I have used before and changed from ext4 to fat and then back again now this should have replaced all directories again ... however every rom apart from nemesis rom gets stuck in boot loop and odin still fails to flash stock rom ? ..

Stock roms are tricky to find esp. with that device-binary error. Just make sure you pick the correct/related country, device model and android version..
Some roms like Nemesis include their own boot, modem etc. that's why it works, but some don't. I once flashed a stock rom but afterwards I had no imei/modem/signal so the only thing I did was flash all custom roms that I had (NNE, Nemesis, etc) just to replace everything that the stock have put in. After that, downloaded stock firmwares again around 3-5x until I got the correct one (and yes, stock firmwares took hours for me to download).
If you flash MM stock, put in twrp and flash a working custom MM rom, then flash stock through odin. Same goes with Nougat, like flash Nemesis first through twrp then flash stock through odin..
-- this is what I do and I think there are better alternatives to these.
