Go into cwm recovery
mounts and storage
format: system, data, cache
wipe cache
in advanced wipe dalvik cache
power off phone
turn download mode
load any firmware that you like (xwla4 is the last one and the best)
All i keep reading on the CheckRom thread is people who have tried ICS and saying it's nowhere near as good as CheckRom and have gone back, personally ive never even left, i tried an early version of ICS but wasn't overly impressed and im just not fussed at all ill be getting the Galaxy S3 and that is a whole new world waiting to be explored.
Have you tried some of the new ICS customs roms that have come out since then? I found Resurrection Remix to be pretty awesome. I did upgrade to ICS and had to admit, when I flashed to custom I was impressed by the difference.
Moving to ICS has been great. Runs smooth as hell, battery lasts long. I think the ONLY thing I've missed from GB is being able to use PDroid. Thats it
Why would you want to downgrade back to Gingerbread?
Are you looking to downgrade using ODIN or CMW?

So I have had a nightly CM9 on my GT for a while now. I recently got a Samsung Epic 4G Touch for my phone and there are tons of restrictions on which rom/kernal/recovery that you have to be on to go back and forth between ICS and GB.
Just wondering if I want to go back to a HC rom that I can just flash away and now worry about that. I can't remember if I ever when back to HC from ICS on my Tab.
Thanks
overcome rom
I have had some booting problems when trying to go from ice to hc . I tried a few but if u flash overcome hc rom u will be safe then you can flash any other Hc rom u like. I have done it a few times. Or if u are familiar with Odin you can use that without a hitch. Make sure u do a data wipe cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe Before u flash.
I go from ics to honeycomb on my tab all the time, and don't have any issues. Just remember to go into cwm and factory reset and wipe cache / dalvik before you flash.

What's your favorite ics rom if you don't mind me asking
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
I've switched between Overcome and CM9 without any issues - just make sure you do the usual backup, and wipe data/cache/dalvik cache.
I'm currently playing with CM9 Nightly, and AOKP - both seem pretty stable apart from the touch screen locking every now and then.

I have used both Cyanogenmod9, and AOKP build 36. Both are excellent ICS builds, and both have different options that make them stand out from each other. I can't say either one is better, but I started with CM9 so I tend to lean to that one more. My only gripe is probably the same gripe everyone else has: the camera doesn't work. It won't work until official ICS comes out, and I've accepted that. For that reason, task14 is my go-to ROM.

Thanks all, I just wanted to make sure since the Epic 4G Touch has so many restrictions on how to flash back forth between ICS and GB.
I have to restock my Tab with Odin and an 'official' ROM from samsung-updates.com first.
Trying to go back directly from AOKP to Overcome or Infamous with CWM Recovery leeds to bootloops for me or the ROM just won't install in Recovery...

Hey ^^ I'm guessing from your post that your phone has not been rooted yet, correct?
If that is the case, you will first want to root your device using this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 (I think its easiest)
Or you can follow the directions in this nifty thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
Once you're rooted...I would suggest following the directions in the thread I posted above. Go DL titanium backup, backup all your apps. Download Rom manager and make sure you have a CWM installed. Then browse through our rom section and get yourself on Froyo to start. We have some awesome development for Froyo at the moment, and I would suggest you go with one by fishman0919 such as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769424
Be sure to read the "Noob Guide" that I posted thoroughly and come back and ask if you don't understand something.
Good luck!
I'm guessing we don't want to start down the Kies road. Just in case no one else warns you, don't touch Kies. I hard bricked my phone a few months ago using Kies after having used Odin umpteen times. Luckily Sammy was nice enough to replace my PCB for no cost. They probably won't be doing that for much longer, though. Stay safe and follow the steps in Xenoism's post.

Yes, as mentioned here. Don't go anywhere near Kies. Your phone will die.
And a dead phone is no kinds of fun, I assure you.

You can definitely run ICS or GB.
I personally suggest ICS since many GB roms are buggy and are no longer being supported.
If you want to jump up to ICS you will have to first flash this rom to your phone: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/5269/cm-7-20120729-NIGHTLY-vibrantmtd.zip
Once you have this flashed, you can flash whichever ICS rom you want.
Remember when flashing any rom to do a full wipe. This is:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
and then flash your rom
Good luck!

Some people have no problems going to ICS from stock, like me, but follow xeno's instructions just in case.

Ah, I'm sorry OP...I should have pointed you towards Wood's awesome thread! Doh!
Here here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464423
Give him some props!
Thanks for the nod Xeno.
One thing for the OP to remember. Some GB ROMs require Gingerbread Bootloaders, as do *some* ICS ROMs. You will need to check the OPs of those ROMs that you are going to want to flash to see. If you cannot connect to a computer or as your OP states you don't own a computer, you will NOT be able to flash Gingerbread Bootloaders to your phone.
They are not CMW flashable and just flashing a CM7 ROM does NOT give you GB bl's. Only in Odin can you flash GB bl's. Just something to take into consideration.

Hi
Tried a quick search but got overwhelmed with the info
I've had my gs2 since launch and I rooted it and run check checkrom v6 at the moment. I want to upgrade to ics but unsure which way to go as there is a lot of conflicting info
Any advice would be appreciated

Do you want stock ICS or a custom rom ?

You just need to decide if you want a stock or a custom ROM.
As your running checkrom you're obviously not a stranger to flashing ROMs so just do a bit of research into some and flash.
Make a back using clockwork mod and if you want to go back to your old set up you can
A few custom ROMs to try are:
Ressurection Remix
Slim ICS
Elite Rom
Cyanogenmod 9
Will probably try cyanogenmod.
Is it pretty much just flash through cmw as before?
sent from my fat little fingers
I would suggest rootbox. There is an ICS version and a JB, which is actually really stable
Thanks for the reply
This is where I got confused lol so is root box the new cwm? Or do I use cmw to flash root box then use root box to flash an ics rom?
I'm getting to old for all this

Rootbox is an version of ICS. You use cwm to flash Rootbox (an ics rom)

Yes, that is all it is about. Make a nandroid backup first. Then wipe it clean, cache and data, and then flash whatever ROM you choose.
I can relate to your problem, s2 seriously has a lot of ROMs so try them and stick with that which YOU like personally. If you want you can try CM9 only first or any other. Just go to that ROM's thread and they mention how to flash in the OP.

Why? There's so many people like this on xda who say this, but when I asked the Devs, its not even necessary or doesn't help.
I never ever flashed an ics rom and I went straight from stock gb to custom ics without a problem.

You can search the threads for guides. I don't use HTC so I'm not familiar with it. Starting you can find a ROM that is suitable for your firmware. Gt i9100G. Be sure not to get GT-i9100 ROM because its two worlds apart. Once you done that, go to cwm and fully wipe everything. Then install from SD card. If the roms has aroma installer you are good to go. To get detailed guides please search the forums.

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me
