You are joking right?
Have you tried this CM9/
Neo
Neo V
Its the OFFICIAL STABLE cyanogenmod for the NEO. It is VERY STABLE and has everything working.
Apart from that, to revert back to stock, just flash a stock kernel (Or any modded kernel for stock) and restore the backup you made before flashing the cm9 rom.

The roms that you have suggested are for "neo". i am using "neo v" and the reson i wanna go back to stock is because i con not onnect to my gmail account with cm9 over data connection. Its giving me some sort of an error: can not establish reliable connection....."...
now for going back to stock ics can i just flash it via cwm and i will be back in stock ics? dont i need to flash karnel or anything like that?

I just added the link for the neo v
Yes, you need stock kernel.(or modded kernel for stock roms)
The kernel for CM will not work with stock rom.
My suggestion is to try the stable cm9 for neo v from my link. If you are still unhappy then download a stock kernel, flash it it fastboot then restore your stock backup in recovery.
Do remember, if you flash stock kernel you will have to install a recovery. Or you can flash the alliance kernel from this thread

Rule number 1
Always backup, just in case you **** up!
Anyway, no problem, there are several options.
Find a stock .ftf in the dev section and flash that in flashtool after you have flashed the stock kernel.
Or, repair phone software using PCCompanion.
This will revert your phone to factory settings (Out of the box).
Or just follow the instructions in any "stock" based custom rom. I recommend Ice cream Pureness. Its a very good stock ICS based rom, fully functional and stable

is there is any specific tutorial on this? or download links for .ftf, stock karnel?
thanks... i have flashed stock karnel then installed stock rom... it worked like charm!!...
Hey all.
After reading about the brickbug and failing the eMMC test, im a little confused as to the safest way to root and install a custom rom.
I am currently runnning ICS 4.0.3 with I9100TDULPB kernel on an aussie vodafone branded device.
Do i simply use odin to flash a stock samsung JB ROM, then flash Philz or Siyah JB kernel for root+cwm, then custom rom install via cwm?
I would also like to retain the option of flashing my carrier stock image incase of warranty purposes.
Cheers

Exactly !
PD: Remember to follow the installation instructions on the rom thread, otherwise u'll end in nasty bootloops
Thanks for the quick reply
So this will ultimately allow me to odin flash back to the stock ICS Vodafone Branded ROM later down the track?
Cheers.

Awseome!
Thanks Poroto
Soo... first, i just couldnt understand how to upgrade to JB while being able to go back to ICS, only to find out how easy it was after i had already flashed the Fido firmware through RSD Lite, destroying any possibility of going back to ICS -_- anyways, i rooted it and flashed a stock JB Rom i was looking forward to flashing since i started to check out the Rom selection (it was the stock JB Brasil.en.BR) and as i flashed it, the phone wouldnt boot -___- it would stay stuck right before the boot animation with the red led on.... so i managed to flash back to the Fido firmware through RSD and rooted it again, then flashed cm10.1 and it actually went well! it flashed and booted like its supposed to!! but, then again, as perfect as it seems for aosp lovers, it just aint for me... so i tried to flash the stock JB Rom i originally had in mind from cm10.1, only to see it fail again and get stuck during boot before the boot animation... then i tried flashing another JB Rom (my first rom v0.91 i believe its called) and the same happened... btw, i was wiping data, cache and dalvik cache in between each Rom flash... so, i just gave up and restored my backup of the Fido firmware that i had made before i started attempting all the flashing... for all this i used BMM v3.4 and my Razr model is XT910 LATAM... anyways, im just hoping for someone out there to illuminate me and help me understand how exactly is an individual supposed to flash a rom to an XT910?? thanks in advanced!
since you upgraded to JB, you cannot flash ics roms due to raised level of security
you can flash latam jb based roms (see artur's) and any kexec based rom
maybe you can also flash eu jb roms, but I'm not sure. You can try
To do that enter recovery (BMM, safestrap cannot flash kernels), make a backup of your kernel and CID, erase CID, Wipe all, flash eu jb kernel, flash rom, reboot
if you did remain on ICS you could flash anything you Want, but it's too late

so, if i got this right, i can flash a rom from any region as long as i first flash a jb kernel of the rom's region (eg. flash an .FR jb kernel to use an .FR based rom)? if so, that pretty much leaves me wondering where i can get these kernels, and with the task to backup my stock kernel and cid... thans for ur response!
all eu jb kernels are the same and it is possible that latam and eu to be compatible

With jb eu kernel you can flash eu jb based roms, of course, not any rom
also you can flash any kexec rom, it does not matter Which kernel you have
try to flash eu jb kernel and if succeeded flash one of roms from dev section based on this kernel
if you cannot, install artur's rom based on latam jb rom

ah ok, im pretty much clear now.. sorry for asking much, ive never had this regional restrictions on any other phone ive had.. ill go ahead and search for one of these eu kernels and see how it all goes with flashing! once again, i first flash the kernel and right after i flash the rom, right? without rebooting recovery? and also, if im using bmm, do i flash the kernel like a regular zip or using the flash kernel menu that everyone always says not to use?
first, make a backup of your kernel, then flash eu kernel, then wipe all, flash rom and reboot
make a backup of CID then erase it (not sure that is necessary for your region, but just in case)
kernels should be flashed using command flash firmware. Make sure that there is NO SPACE into the path of desired kernel like:
firmware/EU_JBKernel/boot.img any punctuation is accepted, but no space!
kexec should be flashed as regular zip
all of this is valid using BMM
for other info check this:

tutorial of how to BMM is on the way on this thread. keep an eye on it!

Well, that thread contains kernels for eu, latam and verizon.
For DSEA you need first. Flash eu kernel and rom, order is not important.
There are a few roms based on latam, see them
For verizon check this:
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-droid-razr-roms/
For them you need a gsm patch, read threads for it
Gsm patch must be flashed after the rom
Forwarded from my other thread post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473982 , I have 2 questions.

What I know , flashing from 3.2 to 4.1 method must be in a correct step avoiding brick or I Should use the traditional method , 3.2 to ICS then Jelly bean ? such as kernals base issue ?
2. There are so many custom roms avaliable. I would like to know , which rom works the best with compatibility and smooth UI ? Camera fix and etc ?
Appreciate any help

First...to which ROM is the best...depends on you're style and device. All devices aren't equal...even when they are the same variant.But I like the 4.3 ROMs.Look at my SIG to see which one I'm running today...Lol.
Now..on to you're rooting. You most definitely need to update to 4.0.4 ICS..I have a guide after you're on that version so you can root and stay stock or flash a custom ROM.But you need the ICS boot loader to flash almost all of the new jelly bean ROMs, if not all of them.I believe when you do the official update from kies it will install that boot loader.( never had to as my device was on 4.0.4 unrooted ).
Back up you're tab to you're PC before you go updating..The update might wipe sdcard, not sure. And in case the update goes side ways on ya.
Let me know if you need any help.

Getting to the safe side , the best is using traditional flashing to ICS then to JB.
I am currently rooted for HC.The ordering , I need to flash it to samsung ICS first ? which mean , I need to unroot my device ?
Or I can just flash to custom roms ICS ?
Currently , stuck at this point.Which is the correct procedure ?
Flash stock ICS first using Odin first. Then you can flash to any version you want.

No. Just flash it with Odin. Don't use that ROM. That is a modified version. Download the stock ROMs at www.sammobile.com.

I have upgraded my device from stock ICS to stock Jelly Bean, after that to Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly, and I want to try new roms and try the stock JB some more (I only tried it for half a day or so), so I'm wondering if the downgrading process is the same as the upgrading process ? Do I just have to transfer the rom+gapps to SD card, clear cash and flash or there's something to do before that ?
NOTE : I don't wanna use ODIN .... It doesn't get along with my device

Use any latest Philz Kernel flash it from recovery and then flash any custom jb rom.
If you want stock jb for that you have to use Odin.
