Hi,
I'm running Slimbean right now and it's a great rom. I want to try the stable Cynogen 7.2 and was wondering if there are any special steps i need to take to avoid any potential problems?
Thanks!
Flash a GingerBread kernel like Glitch(not the ICS one) and reboot into recovery and flash CM7... You do know CM7 is gingerbread not froyo right?

I always thought it is best to Odin to stock then flash a froyo or GB ROM when coming from ICS or JB?

I was just wandering do you have to update your phone to a certain firmware before you flash a rom or can you flash roms of a diffrent firmware then yours and it will update for you ? Sorry i know its noobish but i never knew.
- For example im running trigger 3.2 on 2.2 froyo if i go back to stock froyo rooted would i be able to flash a rom thats on gingerbread 2.3.4 firmware or do i need to go update my phone to gingerbread 2.3.4 firmware first?
2.3 isnt out for our phone yet so that wont work
just flash anything over anything, dont have to go to stock everytime apart from coming from cm7 or miui i think
then why are there roms saying based on gingerbread 2.3.4? o.o im so confused lmfao.
u dont have to go to stock everytime but do it everyonce in a while to clean the ghosts of old roms sometimes they cause probs in future roms u flash.

Because the I900 has gingerbread already, thats where the gingerbread port came from for cm7 etc...
So i can flash miui rom even thou im on 2.2 froyo? just to clear things up for me lmfao thankz in advance
not sure about Mui, i use cm7 and on cm7 u can go from froyo to cm7.

ICS roms are beta at best, I wouldn't advise flashing one.
There is CM9 which is AOSP and there is Samsung leaks, all need ICS bootloaders, search and read before you even consider flashing any of the ICS roms.
how to get ics bootloader?? will it be automatically there if i flash a ics leaked rom??

all ics rom flashing instructions are just flash by cwm & a full wipe???

Depends on the rom, stock ones will come with ICS bootloaders, you *may* need them first for CM9. Also if you want to go back to gingerbread from ICS you will most than likely need to flash back to the old bootloaders from this thread.
Can we simply flash 'stock ICS' over CM9? I mean will there be any probs?
I don't have an S2. This is for my friend. I tried to search for it but I couldn't find anything regarding CM9.
Thanks in advance!

Just try it and report back.
If you get bootloops, you may have to to a factory reset in recovery mode (press Volume UP + Home + Power until recovery menu appears).
Good luck !

Of course there is Stock ICS but not official one. The latest one that is released for i9100 is XXLPJ ICS 4.0.3 firmware.
Now my doubt is can we just flash it directly over CM9?
Heard from one of my friend that in 'samsung galaxy s' we cannot simply restore CM7 backup over CM9. Firsly we have to flash CM7 over CM9 and then we have to restore the CM7 backup.
For S2, downgrading to GB from CM7 is fine. But what about from CM9? Can we directly flash ICS or do we have to come to GB first and then upgrade to ICS?
Actually I would have flashed it yesterday itself but am just waiting for some replies. Till today night I am gonna wait and then I will flash it and reply here.
Just get the phone to download mode and flash with Odin. Yes it can be done

I agree. I don't think there would be a problem flashing it. Just do a "full wipe" before.
Flashed the latest ICS (XXLPJ 4.0.3) and it is working fine. Thank you guys!
Was your data lost?

I did a wipe before flashing. So all data is lost obviously.
But generally whenever we flash any stock rom or custom rom all data will be lost, right?

It's complicated, but very generally speaking - yes.
I would still wait for a no-wipe cwm of the rom to see how compatible sammy ics and cm9 ics roms are
I'm currently on GB, do I need to install an ICS rom before I install a ported JB rom? Or can I go straight from GB (with doing a full wipe before hand of course)?

i have not asked him to flash bootloader
i said
ics bootloader is reqd for aokp roms 4.0.4 and jb 4.1.1
there are users who flash jb directly from gb roms and gb roms have gb bootloader so they went into semi brick and had to flash back to stock rom

Again, WTF are you talking about. That's not true you never need to flash bootloaders for ANY reason.

You are probably confusing the OP. DO NOT listen to this guy.
Thanks a lot for the answers guys. Just out of curiosity, why is neerajganga saying an ics boot loader is needed? That doesn't make sense to me because I've gone from GB to ICS without ever having to touch the boot loader.

I think you are confusing bootloaders for kernels. But by calling it a bootloader you will confuse the OP into possibly screwing up their phone. I don't know if you need an ics kernel for jb. I'm just trying to clear up the misnomer.

Being what I just went through with my phone... I assured I was flashing an ICS ROM with a proper kernel. Then move up into JB. I had flashed a wrong kernel and wound up having to back track and redo allot.
May seem like more work yet taking it step by step sometimes in the end is easier. Just a word of thought from a noob who twice thought he bricked his phone. Yet now works great on CM9 thinking of moving up into CM10 soon.
The new versions of siyah and dream kernel are both ics and jb friendly may be more but these are what I use

neerajganga, I think you're in the wrong forum. This is for the ATT SGSII model I777, your sig indicates you've got an I9100 (though that confuses me because even I9100 users never need to flash bootloaders except in softbrick recoveries, just like I777).
Hey guys I'm having some trouble flashing jb roms. It always freezes during the install. I'm currently on ics.

I never flashed from ICS that I recall. However, you could Odin back to stock. Flash a good stable froyo and try to flash up from there.
I don't remember now if GB boot loader is 100% required but I have it on mine.
I'm getting ready to take an exam, if you haven't got it sorted before I return, I'll help you get running.
Thanks for the reply, I do have the gb bootloaders and I tried going back to stock and still no luck. I get a soft brick every time.

Which ICS ROM are you coming from, and are you doing full wipe?
I had a chance to think about it, and I had trouble getting up to 4.1 the first time I tried. I ended up stepping up gradually.
Odin'd to stock then went up to bionic, skipped GB, went up to latest CM ICS I believe... Then from there onto JB. Been fine since.
Its been a while but that's best as my memory cares to serve me.
I don't think its a real common problem, but occasionally something doesn't jive somewhere.
Hi,
Its not necessary BUT it will always work Odin back to stock and continuing. Once I tried to flash ICZen from FROYO but no luck. Then I ODIN back to stock then CM7 in the middle and ICS on top of it and it WORKED. I have flashed GB bootloaders to get easy key mapping (Anyway u have to flash it if it is required by the ROM) I have flahed JB 4.2.2 Avatar ROM on top of ICZen which has worked for me. woody has a [Guide] How to install ICS **EVERYTHING you need to know how to install them** so you can get an idea Sometimes you have to flash the ROM twice b/c CWM updation
Always do a CLEAN flash (FULL wipe) before flashing a new ROM
Hope u would get JB ROM flashed successfully
tc
