If you flash the siyah kernel before you start that gives you the option to boot into download mode after you've finished the wipes and formatting. You can pick any region of firmware I can't answer about the carrier as I always opt for the unbranded version as there is less bloatware on it.

Hello
I just wanted to ask a question about the official jb update from Samsung.
I'm currently running a custom Omega ROM, if I want to change to the official Samsung JB, when it comes out, how would I proceed best?
I tried to find out how to revert to Stock, so I could just do an OTA update, but I don't have an original Stock Firmware Nandroid Backup..
I live in Switzerland and had a Swisscom branded Phone, which was not locked.
What do you think?
**EDIT**
or the leaked JB test firmware
You can find your firmware at sammobile.com. Just flash it with odin.

If from OMEGA rom , do you want to go to a rom stock samsung , run before a nandroid backup and save the folder EFS , performs a wipe date , factory reset ,then after with ODIN flash rom stock samsung , if remains in boot-loop repeat a full wipe from the recovery ....
I would wipe phone and install JB as its a new OS not an update .
jje
there's still something i don't get..
i do still have the ota option on omega.. is the firmware seperate, which would mean that i would be possible to be on omega rom and have a stock firmware, or do i also return to stock rom when flashing the firmware?

No, because Omega is a costum rom,it's based on a stock firmware and kernel but, it's a modded firmware so you must wipe everything and flash with Odin if you want to go back to a Samsung Stock firmware.

No, the custom kernel (siyah in your case) will be a .tar file, which is to be flashed via Odin.

Yes, you can flash Siyah kernel (the .tar file) without rooting.

From the periphery,
1. Odexed ROM means that the System apps and frameworks ( .apks and jars) are divided into two parts the apk and Odex files, instead of one single file e.g The Odexed music player will be music.apk + music.Odex.
Music.Odex might also contain some files necessary for other apps to work. Etc
2. In Deodexed , the Odex files are already merged into their respective apks, therefore containing one single file for each app.
3. Advantage of Odexed is better RAM management
4. Advantages of deodexed are better space management, easy to MOD.
I post any better explanation (or a link) about this subject later (if I'm chanced)

Do you want to downgrade to a custom ICS 4.0.4 ROM or an unmodified stock firmware?
Happy Independence Day!
Just flash stock firmware with Odin.

Good.
Follow these steps:
1. Download simplistic ROM and put it in your sdcard
2. Backup your contacts, messages, etc
3. boot to CWM recovery
- Create Nandroid backup just incase (under Backup and restore)
- wipe data/factory reset
- format /system (under mounts and storage)
- flash simplistic ROM
- reboot phone.
Done.
Happy Independence Day!
Create a backup, go to samfirmware, download stock firmware for your country, flash via Odin.
Note: You will lose everything so better back up everthing in a secure storage.

1. make a back up of your current firmware
2. In recovery, do a wipe of the cache then go to advanced and wipe daavik cache.
3. Using odin flash the ics firmware you like.
this tutorial should help .

You already made 2 threads about rooting.
So since you "need" to be on ics,you open up another thread about gb-ics.
Whats next,a thread about how to use odin,or a thread about cwm.Or how about a thread for flashing kernel,or a thread about a rom.Then a thread about "help phone bricked".
Do us all a favour and read you lazy git.

1. Root your phone by flashing a rooted kernel containing CWM recovery (e.g. SpeedMod for GB ROMs), if not already done.
2. Make a nandroid backup of your current GB system in CWM recovery. (So you can restore it if flashing does not work or you don't like the new ICS ROM and you want to go back to GB.)
3. Have a look here for the latest ICS stock ROMs => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487.
There is also a description in the first post how to flash the new stock ROM with Odin.
I recommend to flash a pre-rooted ICS stock ROM from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071.
Download the ROM, extract the zip file, put the tar/md5 file into PDA section of Odin and flash it to your phone. (Be sure that no Kies process is running on your PC while flashing.)
4. Once you are on ICS and rooted, you can install TriangleAway (=> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114&highlight=triangleaway) app to reset the flash counter if needed.
5. Be happy and enjoy the new ICS ROM.
Good luck !

Get stock firmware from sammobile.com
There you need an account and you can get the stock firmware from your country.
You need Odin 3.07
Put the file you need from sammobile in the PDA section.

You should ask these question on the thread of the Rom, but here you go anyway.
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Format System, Mount System, Flash Rom, Go through Aroma Installation, (It will show v6 but don't worry its v7), Reboot.
