You have to flash the gingerbread ftf prior flashing gingerbread Rom otherwise you'll experience bootloops.
OR
as you said you have a UNLOCKED bootloader you can just flash a custom GINGERBREAD KERNEL prior flashing gingerbread Rom instead of flashing the whole ftf.

Your device will be fine, and you don't need to reinstall the ROM.
No. Flashing kernel wont do anything to your installed rom unless stated otherwise by the dev.
bbooff's own kernel, X Kernel and Rage Kernel are currently known to be working with Hybrom.
Install the kernel the same way as you installed your previous kernel(via fastboot).
U guys are great! Tq so much

It means its customized for nordic region countries.And no its not pre-rooted.If you are not from a Nordic country then soul purpose of flashing nordic fw is to get updates as soon as its out
That something lacks in Nordic region firmwares...

Stock JB ROM?!?!?
What?!?!?
lol!!
JB ROMs need custom kernels which can only be flashed on an unlocked bootloader.
So, you need to unlock it first.
Being on an locked bootloader isn't a good excuse though.
First unlock your BL, and then have fun with your device!!
Until then you'll have to be at peace with the ROMs supporting a locked bootloader.
Don't forget to hit the thanks button!
say no to Drugs and ICS!

[Q] moving from ICS to GB

Hi,
I am currently on the .587 firmware, kernel mesa 2.2 and stock rom... was wondering if I can easily go back to GB?
What steps do I need to take? can I just flash immediately a GB rom? or do I have to flash a GB kernel, then flash a GB rom? or do I have to go down a firmware?
Thanks...
:highfive:

If you already unlocked the bootloader, just flash the extended kernel. It will automatically give you root

thanks for the fast response..hmm i really dont have idea on "extended kernel" can you tell me mate what to do?can i flash it even im already back on BUILD 4.1.B.0.587?
Once you have unlocked ur bootloader all you need to do is flash a pre-rooted kernel(maximum are pre-rooted) and then flash any ROM made for the kernel
Best Regards,
AJ
Just flash any custom kernel then u can use doomlords rooting toolkit for ics or gb..
Depends on your current rom..

Download lupus kernel, Just Google lupus kernel for your device. (ics or jb). Then install any rom. Recommend cm.

Flash compatible kernel or kernel provided with the rom, boot into recovery, do full wipe and flash rom.

Just flash the compatible jb kernel and do all the necessary wipes and then flash the rom. That's it.
And for the 2nd question try some yourself. Everybody has their own personal choice.
