dont know if im just getting confused or if we're on different tracks so im going into depth and just let me know if you were referring to that or not.
in old bootstrap, you had 3 packages from the thread
1) on boot cwm
2) remove cwm
3) cwm with on boot (only to be used when flashing new rom)
in this 1 i can only see
1) touch screen cwm
2) remove cwm (via flashing old bootstrap)
3) (after wipes/formats) wondering what do i need to flash when installing new rom?? old bootstrap cwm with on boot package or just flash this cwm touch package again?
cheers

Try uninstalling safestrap and then installing bootstrap if you can - then try to flash the rom again.

Hello, I just updated my SGS2 to 4.0.3 and just finished flashing it, now I want to install a theme and these are the instructions:
REQUIREMENTS:
- U need rom without any themes or mods install, otherwise u will end up in bootloop
- Don't flash it even over my CWM packages, bootloop
- Make a backup just in case before flashing
- If u are installing mods from 2nd post, use only with name UNIVERSAL. CWM packages over universal theme will take u to bootloop again
- Uninstall JKAY deluxe settings app (when u flash theme, latest version will be installed)
- If u have any other mods (like phone with no inc. record.full pic), remove it. U will install it latter
- REMOVE ALL MODs PLEASE. U WILL INSTALL THEM ALL, LATTER
- if u have older version of JKAY APP (JkayDeluxeSettings), please uninstall
- Patience, installation is just little bit longer
-If u still got bootloops, but ur buttons are litenin, take out battery, put it back, power ur phone. Now u should not have any more bootloops and ur theme will be installed correctly
- Download the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file from the download section below and DO NOT unzip it
- Copy the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file to your INTERNAL SD card
- Boot your phone into CWM (hold Vol Up, Home & Power Button)
- Wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik cache
- Select 'Install ZIP from SD Card'
- Select 'Choose Zip from SD Card'
- Then select the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file you downloaded
- Reboot
- After this you only have to enjoy
The ones I put in BOLD are the ones I am concerned about, because I just finished flashing my phone, does this mean I cant do it, or do NOT flash after installing the theme? And as for mods what type of mods, like Rom Manager SuperSU and Titanium Backup? Just wondering and all because I am new to this, I had installed a nice theme a while back but it was taken off when I updated to 4.0.3, thanks!
If you just flashed stock ICS (not a custom ROM) then you're fine. That would have removed all mods you had anyways.

That is a CF-Root kernel...
But anyways, try booting to recovery and doing a full wipe. (that may remove the theme you just tried to flash, but I would think you'd rather have a functioning phone...)

Question... you said above you flashed "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5". (which is a kernel, not a firmware or ROM)
Did you operate the phone in between doing that and attempting to flash the theme?
What version of 4.0.3 did you flash before you flashed "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5"? Or did you?

Yes I was using my phone testing the new ICS and setting up all my apps and stuff since it was all unorganized then I wanted a theme because the base theme sucks so I downloaded this: https://sites.google.com/site/vertumusworld/downloads/Themes/Ice-Cream-Sandwich-Domination I downloaded the very first one mirror 1 after I had the theme I was going to flash my phone so I Googled my phone numbers I had XXLPS so I found a download and flashed it from that and it was working fine rooted then I went to install the theme now it just bootloops :/
OH!!! I just found a restore option from earlier today when I backed up everything with Titanium Backup right before I installed the mod, it is restoring now I hope that works and I wont install any themes LOL not risking this again lets see if it works!
EDIT: Okay I managed to get my phone back to around January and its all working just missing some apps and stuff but now I cant upgrade via Kies? So im just going to do a full wipe now and then upgrade then restore all apps with Titanium Backup, thanks for everything though
I'm running IML74K.UCLd3, kernel 3.0.8 and android version 4.0.3.
For some reason, that ROM flashes fine. When I try to flash att_note_root.tar in Odin to get root, it all seems to go fine, then I can't boot the phone at all. It took a few tries to get back into download mode. The only thing I could do to boot the phone up was to flash the ROM again. So I still don't have root.
How can I:
Get root
Reinstall my apps (I have a Titanium backup)
Will installing old apps mess the new ROM up?
Do I need a new kernel?
I've been told to flash CWM to get root, but I don't know which version to flash.
HELP!!

Also, I flashed the MD5 file and rebooted. No root and ROM manager doesn't recognize that anything has been installed. I can also not get into recovery mode - the only choice I have is regular boot or download mode.
no but you can flash the root file once you have CWM...see rooting also in thread.

Yup...did follow the instructions. What I could NOT do was to reboot into recovery mode to finish the job. Held down vol up/down and power till the screen went black, the released vol up and power. All it did was put me in the yellow triangle screen with the options of vol down to reboot or vol up to download. No way to access recovery mode.
You let go of the wrong button...
All three buttons till you feel a vibrate..Then let off the POWER BUTTON

I just want to make sure this is not a problem to downgrade from 4.1.2 ICS to 2.3.7...is it true?
This downgrade wont break anything
Well, you can downgrade from CM09/10 to CM07 or even stock but make sure you downgrade to 4.5.91 / 2.3.x as when motorola updated you to 4.5.91 they changed the boot-loader and if you try to go below that you would brick your phone for sure.
if you need a stock firmware its here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
else browse xda forum and there are many good GB based Roms, but do check whats working section to be sure of what is missing there.

Why would it be a problem?
Are you confusing standard ROM flashing via recovery with flashing via RSD?
i m confusing about downgrade not to use cwm or rsd... downgrade would be make my phone brick( that s why i want to know can i downgrade my phone 4.0.x to orginal factory rom 2.3.5...
and how?

Use CWM or another recovery to flash ROMs. I have switched between Stock GB, CM7 and CM10 multiple times, it doesn't brick the phone. If you installed ICSROM or AtrICS or one of the other leaked ROMs, restoring is best way (provided you did a backup like instructions say).
Instructions (restore):
1) boot into recovery
2) backup/restore
3) restore from external/internal
4) choose last backup, restore and reboot
Instructions:
1) boot into recovery
2) clear data/factory reset
3) wipe dalvik under "advanced"
4) format /system under "mount"
5) choose and flash ROM and gapps

Is there any CWM.zip for the galaxy s3 ??

Can any one find a similar thing ??:fingers-crossed:
I mean that I want it to be like my galaxy mini GT-S5570I

If I want to use it I go to my stock recovery and select " install update from sdcard" and choose the CWM recovery . That make me boot into CWM recovery mod

Stock recovery DOES NOT include flashing through zips so even if you in fact can flash stock recovery through CWM you CAN NOT flash CWM through stock one.
And to be honest I can't see any reason why you'd like to do so.

i don't think that is possible! how could you enter a custom recovery through a stock ones?!
Its called fake flash and was invented by koushik Dutta and Paul O'Brien. I used it on my HTC desire for a while. You essentially flashed it into memory and was gone on a reboot. This method is pretty old hat now. Im not convinced anyone uses this anymore. It's certainly not available on the S3.
Actually earlier rooting methods of desire gave you a leaked engineering version of the recovery that had no signature verification. That's the only reason it was possible
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
you could try something similiar, for example mobile odin, there you can flash update.zips and keep your stock recovery. (but it has no other cwm abilities)
or you use syah or googy-max kernel, where you can boot from stweaks into 2nd rom utilities which is a full working cwm and disappeares after reboot. there you can keep as well your stock recovery (but you have to flash a custom kernel )

Thanks. I guess that is the OP's solution then!
maybe anpother suggestion, which i often use could be the app online nandroid backup (its on the market), which can perform nandroid backups whithout going into recovery.
So there is no need of a custom recovery as long as you do not want to restore your backup.
and in combination with mobile odin you can flash update.zips. so the basic cwm abilities are covered (as long you have root)
