Hello,
Today I thought, let's try out ICS! Found this guide (can't post outer links, search for "android advices ICS Android 4.0.1 XXKP2 " in google), and used it to update my phone to ICS.
Well, after trying out the rom, I would like to go back to my MIUI backup, rooted it, installed clockworkmod recovery and booted up the recovery mode. The recovery said "can't mount /cache/*" for all cache folders. So I couldn't restore my backup.
After reading some stuff I installed a recovery through Odin. Worked like a charm, no alerts of mounting failures. Restored my backup, but when it was rebooting it gave an "Kernel Panic - Upload mode" screen. Couldn't do anything, so put the battery out and back in.
After this I installed ICS again with the same steps as in the guide. This worked! Rooted and installed recovery again, no problems so far. Tried a fresh install of MIUI but with the same problems.
So I can flash ICS but I can't flash any other rom, what can be the problem?
Every help and tips are welcome!
Thanks in advance!
Same thing happened to me last nite, kernel panic, and im panic too. This happened after flashing that cm9 coz i just wanna try and see how cm9 look like and i know im not going to stick with it, just for trying. Now im back to miui.
What i did is i flashed back to stock rom, root, then flash miui, or any rom that you want. Very simple.
Rom : MIUI ICS XGT 'EXTENDED'
Kernel : Xcell-69X
Modem : XXKP8

I have the same problem I guess, tried ICS, went back to stock which I was using. Got Kernel panic upload mode several times, solution for this was flashing an older 2.3.6 version.
After this no more kernel panics...
But I can't flash any custom roms anymore.
My phone's working luckily but it doesn't work like it's supposed to

Thats not true my friend, you flash any custom rom. Nothing need to worry about.
Rom : samsung stock firmware
Kernel : stock kernel
Modem : stock modem

Did you make sure to flash back the old GB bootloaders? Restoring a backup wont flash them back.
I am trying to install the jellybam 3.0.0 rom and am having no luck. I tried just following inst and that didn't work after about 45 sec the android guy fell over and a red triangle popped up. Then I saw you might have to change to siyah 4.3.3 so I downloaded the zip without micswap and flashed it after the Jellybam rom. Still no luck the rom loaded, but when I rebooted the ics symbol showed up then phone turned of. Can someone tell me how to get this to work. I have the ported version and works fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also thanks for all you guys and gals do your awsome.

I had the same error....i guess you must be getting a "status 7" error while flashing jellybam.....
I used to run SHOstock3 rom v1.4, and i got the same error while flashing jellybam, so i follwed the method given by one of the experts...
1. I did a factory reset, and flashed jellybam, after which i got a status 7 error...
2. I restored the rom via CWM
3. Flashed siyah v3.4.2 with micswap..
4. since that was siyah ics, i could not use my phone, but i was able to flash jellybam over it.....
5. Im running Jellybam without any bugs...
So basically, you can do a full wipe, flash siyah, and then flash J'bam......else use an older version of siyah like i did....Hope u r problem is solved....
Thanks

It could be a corrupted download, try to re-download and copy to your sdcard. and also do a full wipe(if i'm correct, you coming from 4.1) and follow instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806401
hope it helps
Already tried redownloading but no luck.
I guess the only thing left is to flash Stock ICS rom via Odin PC, which I hate, and than rooting and flashing the new rom.
Any suggestions?
Ok, I also tried flashing other Custom ROM like SuperNexus, and an older version of RootBox, but still having the same problem. I think this problem might have to do with either the ROM or the jeboo_kernel I am using in this WanamLite ROM (Stock JB XLSJ Leak).
I guess PC Odin is my only hope now.
Flash dorimanx kernel and then flash roms.
And for one time USE SEARCH it created about 50 threads about status 7

Need to flash CWM, then flash kernel dorimanx and then to flash rom
Dorimanx (recommend 5.58)
CWM
Copy Kernel and CWM to sdcard / internal card
Then Reboot, and enter to Recovery (hold Power + Home + Vol.UP)
Install Cwm via "apply update from external storage" (then reboot)
Enter again in Recovery (hold Power + Home + Vol.UP)
Install kernel via INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD (reboot)
and try now to flash Rom
Hey folks,
I'm desperately trying to get a CustomRom working on my GP4.
I'm relatively new to the device, but not to CustomRom's, since I was using a Motorola Defy untill last summer, running CM7.2 and CM9, MIUI and a couple of others.
So here's my issue:
I flashed the Terrasilent Kernel in order to get CWM so I could flash the .zip's from there, as some weren't available for odin.
The kernel works fine, but as soon as I try to flash any CustomRom (I tried CM9, CM10.2, Hydrogen and the PACMAN Rom), I'm just getting infinite bootloops.
I also tried flashing with SD card removed, SD card back in....doesn't help. No matter whether it's done with odin or CWM.
Mostly I get stuck at the Samsung screen , the PACMAN insert coin or the Terrasilent phonebooth .
Does anyone have suggestions how I could make it work?
Cheers!

Did you wipe the data/cache? Also, I believe you're supposed to flash then ROM first, THEN you flash the kernel.

Forgot to mention that: I tried various ways: first wipe data/cache, then flash ROM; first flash ROM, then wipe cache; wipe cache, flash ROM, wipe again...
In order to get CWM recovery and being able to flash a zip I flashed the Kernel first. For CM9 I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213152
As I couldn't flash any of the pre-flash zip from stock, I thought it's necessary to flash a kernel including CWM first. It was done in the same way in some youtube tutorial I watched, where the guy already had the terrasilent kernel on his device.
For odin, I will check if it works with first flashin the ROM and afterwards the kernel.
Cheers for your fast reply!
Hey,
I got a problem with my S2g. I'm currently on Android 4.1.2, with cwm 6 and blazing v-5 kernel. Both were flashed per odin and work fine. However I can't flash a custom rom. Every time I try it I'll get a Status 7 error. I've already tried 4 different ROMs and I'm really annoyed by now. I also tried to factory reset the phone before I flash the ROM, but it didn't make any difference. I also tried deleting the assert command in the updater-script file but somehow my changes in the file won't be saved.
If anyone could help me I would be really thankful!

I've just tried this, didn't work also. I even had to flash the recovery and the kernel again after trying to flash the file in the link, because the phone wouldn't boot normal or in recovery mode.

Try using philz recovery on your phone. It should flash most ROMs fine.

I just did, I still get the Status 7 error. I tried to flash the cm 12.1 and the cm 13.0 nightly rom. I also tried deleting the assert command in the updater-script file but it still won't work. There was no Status 7 error but it still said "Installation aborted".
Does anyone else got an idea how to fix this?

I used this Kernel, I just noticed, that it's only compatible with Android 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3.
I then tried to install the DorimanX Kernel for LP and MM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/kernel-dorimanx-lp-5-x-x-t3145879) but my phone stucks at the boot screen.

Apologies, I only just noticed you have a i9100g, not a i9100. You can't just flash i9100 kernels as they simply won't work!
You can follow the guide in the CM13 OP here:
