Choose your rom , stock or another jb variation like cm10
Download it save it on your phone normally comes a .zip format
Download odin

Download cf root to give you root and recovery(cwm)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
Follow instructions of installing ( via a pc)
So now your phone has root plus a custom recovery if you press the 3 BUTTON combo of power+home+vol down it should boot into cwm based recovery 5.5.04 cf 1.5
Now once your in recovery you can "install zip from sd card "
Choose zip from internal
Select your zip you downloaded
And then yes.
Wait ~ till finished installing then "reboot system now"
Jb running on new phone .
Most custom roms come pre rooted , stock roms do not so will have to flash cf root again.
i miss anything ?
Custom boot animations require custom kernels which allow it . I use siyah but it is not compatible with jb.
Then scroll down to page where it says "need help installing custom boot animation" in themes and apps

[Q] How to upgrade from cyanogenMod fxp 044 to fxp 047

I am currently running cyanogenMod 7.1 fxp 044 in my X10i, and have problems to upgrade to fxp 047. This is what I have done:
I downloaded the fxp 047 package and put the update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-es209ra-KANG-signed.zip in sdcard.
then I booted the phone into xrecovery mode, select install custom zip form sdcard
and I got error messege saying that installation aborted with a long string of code ended with "error in...zip (status 7)".
I though the problem may be the locked bootloader, so I followed the post by 9Lukas5, but I got stuck already at step 2! After I downgraded the kernel, I plugged in the phone to the computer, but the flashtool kept saying the phone didnt turn on the usb debugging mode, although the debugging is ON already...
any idea? Any Help is appreciated!
The phone info is listed below:

thank you for your answer
but why cwm recovery? is Xrecovery not compatible with cyanogenMod rom?
I think all the new cyanogenmod developments are happening under CWM recovery only. Not sure about the xrecovery rom though. But I guess CWM offer better options. As we can directly reboot to recovery!

I actually installed my previous cyanogenmod rom 7.1 using Xrecovery, but gonna try CWM recovery and hope it works!

Rooted Galaxy S2 (via galaxys2root.com), now I cannot get into ClockworkMod Recovery?

I rooted my Galaxy S2 just now (using this method / The easy root method on galaxys2root.com).
I didn’t install the ClockworkMod Recovery as in the further video on galaxys2root.com as a lot of comments from people were saying that it bricked their phone!!! So I installed ROM MANAGER from the Market (Google Play) and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery from within the ROM Manager app.
When I then did 'reboot into recovery' I got this screen come up... (not my actual screenshot by the way, but I get the same error messages coming up) as it was trying to run the UPDATE.ZIP file.

It also won't let me flash CM9 or any other ROM as it comes up with the same message
What am I doing wrong here? It seems to also say Android System Recovery at the top rather than ClockworkMod Recovery :?
Install cfroot kernel..dats much better..
Just checking now... Thanks
Flash the tar file of cf root or any other custom kernels via Odin, you will get back cwm
#*posted on the move *#
Using the easy zergrush method only gives root and superuser, nothing more.
It doesn't include clockworkmod as zedomax mentioned, but he did make another guide on how to flash clockworkmod.
I tried to flash it via clockworkmod too, but it doesn't seem to work with this method for some reason I although I haven't used it, I think cf-root would be better.

You soft-bricked your device. These icons is the forced download mode. It means that you need to flash something to get over it. (and do NEVER put something in the phone section. You should have flash it in the PDA section.
i had the same screen yesterday.just flash the kernel and reboot.it should boot right into CWM.in CWM choose "reboot device" and it should be OK

Thanks guys fixed it used one click unbrick which worked really well. Tried flashing a rom and a kernel and it did not work before hand. With the one click unbrick it has allowed me to enter download mode again.

[Q] How to install JB 4.3 AOSP SuperNexus 3.0 on i777 S2 att?

I have S2 (AT&T) i777 and custom ROM is already installed on it AOKP. (Please see the screenshot attached)
I came across this rom for S2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407458
Can I simply install this ROM on my phone ? any problem in going from AOKP to AOSP ? Do I need to do anything before doing this ? any kernel etc ?
As mentioned in the instructions in the thread of aosp super nexus rom:
Instructions
First time installing SuperNexus 3.0 to your device, or coming from another ROM:
- Copy Google Apps and SuperNexus ROM into your internal SD Card
- Boot into Recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Flash SuperNexus ROM
- Flash Google Apps' package
- Reboot your device
That's all I need to do ? I don't need to install any other thing on my phone ? any kernel etc ?

Update:
I tried installing the rom in recovery mode but it gave a bunch of errors.
I starting installing based on the assumption that I don't need to install any kernel ? please correct me if I need any kernel or any prerequisite in order to install supernexus ROM ?
Please direct me in a right direction.
What errors did it give ?? And did u follow the install instructions completely ?

If it started throwing assert errors, then it could be due to outdated recovery. If that's the case, then please update your recovery, or try a different one. For example I was using Philz touch cwm recovery, and I was unable to install aocp. Once I switched to the non-touch cwm recovery, it installed successfully.

Rom manager actually isn't necessary for flashing Roms luckily (assuming you are already rooted with clockworkmod recovery installed)
you'll just need to download the zip file of the rom you want (you can browse through the ones in the development section)
and place the zip file on the root of your SD card (or in a file if you prefer, its just easier to find on the root of the internal sd card)
then reboot to recovery by turning off the phone.
then power it back up while holding power + volume up + volume down at the same time. (its a bit of a balancing act..)
this will put you into recovery mode. (it should say clockworkmod at the top)
it should look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
then choose install from internal memory and choose the rom you downloaded.
once it finishes you can reboot and it will boot into your new rom.
What he said above (to an extent). If you are only Rooted but still have stock recovery, then you won't be able to follow his directions as you will have 4 options and Install from SD won't be one.
What you need to do is go to my Repo thread in the Dev section and download the CWR zip. Offhand I can't remember if it is named Update.zip, but if not you just have to rename it. Boot into Stock recovery via the key combo and hit Reinstall Packages. It will cycle through and should change your recovery. If not, then hit Reinstall Packages again and this time for sure (I have one Vibe that'll do it on the first time and another that takes 3 times). From there, all you have to do is flash your ROM based on it's OP instructions.
Well I have superuser permissions but how do you know if you have clockwork recovery?
