I want to try different modems. As far as I know, the modem file (zip file) can be flashed in CWM recovery mode.
Do I have to do something else after apply the zip update in CWM? For example, factory reset?

No? If it just says flash in cwm just flash it why would you have to factory reset?

You don't hit update zip. U hit flash zip, either from internal or external sd card . It's considered good practice to wipe the cache when flashing a different modem if I'm not mistaken.

I just flashed my stock kernel and CWM and Superuser are still there to my surprise, i tried doing this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 but i do not have an external SD card to put the files onto. I'm just worried incase i need to take it into Samsung for some reason. Thanks:good:
Did you do a full wipe? And wipe dalvic cache! Then try again to flash the official ics firmware.

Try to update cmw recovery to the latest one. Just update it threw rom manager and make sure you pick the right phone and carrier in the list.
I tried doing so,bur i only get like 7 phones from that list

You'll need to flash CM9 first, then the options will show up. Its looking for a specific name in your build.prop, and CM9 or AOKP should get it to show up.
Tried doing cm9 does not work also

after you flash CWM recovery.
did you wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache?
wiping those before flashing new rom usually solve the problem.
i usually wipe data/factory reset too but doesn't require
i suggest you back up your un-corrupted efs folder contain your IMEI first before you flash anything.
dont be like me. =)

sorry, next time I'll be careful... Btw i think i did all of them but what does "wipe system" mean? (factory reset??)
ODIN to your rescue ... download a stock ROM and flash it via ODIN.
OR
Flash Dorimanx 7.45 via ODIN and flash your ROM later.

Now I have got two questions: First, should I flash a ROM with xRecovery, or CWM? Second, what order do I need to wipe data, dalvik-cache, cache partition?

The recovery version doesn't really matter. For stock kernel both xrec and cwm are available (I recommend xrec), but the nAa custom kernels all have cwm preinstalled.
The order of wiping data, dalvik-cache and cache partition doesn't matter at all, pick whatever you want .

i prefer using CWM.. just go for CWM.. or use both?
wipe data, dalvik-cache, cache partition b4 and after flashing any custom rom once..
make sure u hv the correct kernel for the rom..
I'm new to the thundbolt. I purchased a rooted thunderbolt which after activation keeps prompting me to update. Is there no method of freezing the ota with this device? Best way is to download the zip which I did ? But how do you go about flashing it so it will stop the ota ? Thanks for all your help !

Reboot into recovery. Choose install from SD card or flash a zip. Find the file and flash it then wipe cache and dalvik cache and rebooy

This was immensely helpful. I had forgotten how to do this as I hadn't flashed my phone in ages.
Thank you!
