Just about to flash a ROM on my S3 (first time), and I'm just asking are different version ROMs compatible with the stock version ROM? e.g: I have a s3 running Jellybean 4.1.1 (stock) but can I flash a different ROM that's made for ICS?
Thanks

Just make sure, that your s3 version is made for the rom. If so you should be able to flash all roms. Why would you want to go back to ics?

When you mean s3 version do you mean like GT-i9300 etc.? And so if it was made for that (GT-i9300), I would be able to flash any ROM?
yes

Im currently stock/rooted on official ics and id like to know which roms are compatible with official ics, are all of them?

That doesn't make sense...a Rom would replace the stock Rom, so compatibility isn't an issue....if you mean can you flash a new Rom from that one, then yes.

Guess it was a dumb question. I just thought that since we had a leaked version of ics and an official version that there might be issues flashing say a rom from 2 months ago while running official ics. So there is no difference between the leak and official so i can flash whatever rom i want.

Flash up or down. It does not matter.
I rooted my phone and installed Pandroid and even tried CM9
But to be honest i was more happy with the stock rom that samsung provided for me from the start.
What would be the easies way to get back to where i started from?
Or are there any good stable roms för the galaxy s3 i9300 out there where everything just works?

Try an ICS rom - Omega, or DragonICS. They are more similar to stock than the CyanogenMods.
Next time try search harder and ask in Q&A section.
Do whatever you think fit your need with the phone.
Flash original firmware using odin
Or you may try Omega rom, RGUI rom, Foxhound rom and Wanamlite rom. All great roms.

So do you wish to go back to full stock, or a Samsung based custom Rom?

Flash stock rom from the stock rom threads is the basics .

Hi there!
I am wanting to update my Samsung Galaxy GT-i9300 but am worried about the process because of having installed a custom kernel previously (would this muck up installing a new custom rom I wonder..)
Please find attached a screenshot of the settings and please tell me what I should do (if anything needs done) before I flash a new custom rom.
Cheers!
if you're worried about kernels, then just flash stock kernel then flash a custom rom on it.

kk, could you provide me with a suitable stock kernel (or links to one) which will be compatible with the rom I have installed?
any stock kernel that is for jb will be fine.

I am on android version 4.0.4 (so technically not JellyBean). and its safe to flash a stock kernel for JB despite being on that version before I flash a custom rom?
Sorry for asking, get confused easily..
you should be fine updating with a custom kernel (as all roms flash a kernel as well). Just make sure you factory reset when moving from ics to JB as you will most likely encounter problems if you don't.

I would suggest flashing ICS stock kernel first if you're worried. I thought you were already on jb.

Easy
Reflash the stock ics ROM
And flash any custom ROM you want
Enjoy

Why? Just flash latest stock ROM and that is it. Better yet, use a custom ROM like neatrom. They work better than stock ROMs.

Re flash your ROM in order to unroot and become full stock.

As mentioned earlier, there is no stock KK firmware for i9300.
Though you can try some of the ported ROMs. They are close enough to stock in most ways.
I prefer the unofficial CM12 roms btw

This is for the i9300 model.
