It wont mess up my phone if its still on ICS while flashing GB kernel? Or after flashing kernel in fastboot mode i should emediately go into CWM and flash ROM?
Flash rom after you flashed kernel or it won't boot, but if you want to do a "clean job" before any of that i would reflash the stock .62 fw (there is no kernel compatible on both ics and bg..)

Yes after flashing gingerbread kernel go immediatly in cwm and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache and maybe format system. Afterwards just flash the rom.
You can use rage kernel for stock gingerbread, but if you want to install something like cyanogenmod 7 better choose the provided cm kernel
And no, there's no kernel supporting gingerbread and ice cream sandwich...
Which is exactly what i said just above
Thx i got it all working!

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.

So I had this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876792) and i wanted to go back to my official rom. I went to CDW wiped out system, date, ect etc and I tried to restore my backup which I did with my CWM before I use the custom rom. Everything ok but when I reboot me device it shows the bootlogo of the custom firmware and not the sony and after that it goes black. How do I solve this? I searched but I didnt find anything
Please be more exact on what you wiped and formatted all. What kernel and cwm version are you using? Did you made the nand backup with the same cwm version?

And you flashed back stock (based) kernel?
When you flash .ftf rom using a flashtool, it flashes all official components (rom, kernel, baseband) by default. I apologize flashtool is a most useful method to go back at stock rom. What do you think?

Download flashtool. Download ftf of firmware u want to flash. Open flashtool and drop that downloaded ftf file in flashtool window. Then check no final verification. Click ok. Then follow instructions given by flashtool. Done. Simple as that.

And be careful with device drivers. Install it from a Flashtool folder to avoid a flashing problems.

One last thing, as I said in my first post before i go to jelly bean i made a back up using CWM(The backup was on official ICS 4.0.4 + rooted + BL open). If I want to go back at that backup the only thing i need to do is go to CWM, delete system, delete data, detete etc etc and I do the restore?
Or I need first to flash a kernel for ICS and THEN restore the backup? Im still kinda confused with the kernel thing and the restoration...

Yea. Cwm doesn't reatore kernel. Just the system, data dalvik etc.
You'll need an ics kernel like alliance or suave to boot into the restored backup.

So that was the problem. I can use any ICS kernel or the official kernel( because the backup was on the official rom even though it was rooted) ???

Any kernel compatible with Stock ics

I recommend you to flash a kernel that has been used at time you created a backup, because I had a problems with Wi-Fi when I do «hot-flashing« from suave kernel to night - elf.

If you have the firmware ftf of whatever firmware cwm backup u had taken use it and only select kernel.sin and don't select wipe anything

If I format system will it delete the backup?
Also If I install stock kernel back from custom kernel then do I have to install CWM again?

The backup stays on the memory stick so copy it in your pc in case something happen
No you will still have cwm

If you used cwm from kernel, then yes, after you flash stock kernel, you will need to instal cwm to system.

From where?
I highly doubt that someone with custom kernel would go and install cwm in system.
Hi,
I downloaded a stock rom from sammobile ( I9100XWLQ2_I9100XXLQ6_I9100PROLP4_HOME.tar.md5 )
I am pretty sure this is the right one because this has already worked once.
But now my phone hangs during startup. I wait really lot (10 mins) but still it hangs, even I always see the animation of 'S'
I flashed again a custom rom now, but i want a stock rom back. How can i flash?
thanks
You must perform a factory reset from the recovery. Either do it from the custom rom, then flash stock ROM, or flash stock rom, boot into recovery and then wipe /data. Order doesn't matter.

After you flash the stock rom go back into download and flash v4 of Siyah kernel (.tar) , then boot into recovery and do wipe/factory reset.
It is not necessary to install a new kernel, just factory reset from stock recovery

I didnt say it was necessary, I just advised it since Siyah kernel is better then stock anyway for many reasons and since he's into trying new roms its much better to have custom kernel/recovery. Plus the fact that if user was to try flashing a 4.0.3 rom then wipe in stock recovery he would brick his device.
Not sure about brick, AFAIK brick occurs with 4.0.4. Anyway I would prefer more stock-ish kernel like CFroot.

If you thought that, why on earth would you advise him to wipe in stock recovery???? The rom he is trying to flash is 4.0.4
Guess I wasn't reading thoroughly .. I take mt words back.

If u r on stock 4.0.4 first change your kernel then try to factory reset.. Everything will be fine... Dont do factory reset on cmw on stock kernel...

Okay, thanks for all the replies. When I flash stock kernel, will clockworkmod be erased? I am just asking.. I know I can easily flash it back

Do you mean flash "stock rom"? Yes if you flash stock rom you will lose cwm and only hav stock recovery.
Once you have flashed your stock rom you should then immediately flash your custom kernel (Like Siyah). Once flashed reboot into recovery (cwm) and wipe data/factory reset.

When flashing a stock ROM (include kernel of course) it overwrite the exists kernel.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
When you will flash stock rom over custom rom everything will be erased if android version is different if same then you will face problems has phone will not work properly you have to factory reset it first install different kernel use philz it will root your phone directly and installs cmw then factory reset it from cmw.
You can also reset your phone from settings but in between you will face errors this that not working etc. use 1st method your phone will not have brick bug issue.
And for giving thanks use thank button

Brother, you flashed a jelly bean kernel so you can just run CyanogenMod10 based roms(android 4.1.2 roms)
If you're going to flash a gingerbread rom(CyanogenMod7) (android 2,3) you must use a gingerbread kernel like : "nAa 14 gingerbread for x10mini"

Hi all!
I want to update my Sola from cm9, actually working, to [ROM] [JB] eXperience Innovation.
First i need to flash the base rom of Munjeni, that requires to flash .54 ftf via flashtool and boot it properly, so, what gotta do to flash .54?
I know about TheBrainsKernel - ICS, but i didn't understand if first i have to flash a new official stock rom, or what else!
What i have to do first?
Thanks!
Flash stock .54 ics tft as it has the same file system as jb. Let it settle. Then extract kernel from munjenis rom, copy zip to phone, fastboot flash of that kernel, boot to cwm and flash the zip, cleAr data, cache and dalvik. Reboot and let it settle, then follow the instructions for the other rom.
