If you are rooted and have CWM installed, then you can flash any ICS or JB custom roms. I would advise you take a nandroid backup before flashing though!

Kinda Noobie here
hello,
2 month back i brought unlocked i777 from ebay. It got rooted and unlocked with Android version 2.3.4, baseband i777UCKH7 and kernel version 2.6.35.7.
It got super user app (so i think its rooted). But the CMW is not installed. i checked in recovery mode (it show some android recovery).
So now i m thinkin of installing the latest AOKP ROM (with siyah kernel) but not sure wat to flash first.
should i root again first (root + CWM) then install AOKP. then change the kernel.
or root then kernel then AOKP ?
also i m confuse which root method should i use for installing CWM in gingerbread .

Install kernel with cwm.
Boot to recovery and install aokp rom
Done
Every rom install contains a kernel that works with the rom. Doesn't matter what you had before.

When you flash the custom kernel with CWM, you can then user CWM to flash whichever ROM you wish. I.E. AOKP

flash siyah kernal via ODIN (or any kernal you like), then you can flash any custom rom you like via CWM recovery. The rom you wanna flash depends on what your looking for.

You can flash siyah 4.1.5 from gokhanmoral. Com for galaxy s2
Then you are rooted. You will get CWM 6.0.
Then from recovery take back up of your current stock rom.
And flash any ICS Based custom rom.
Do these steps then in future you want to try JB custom rom then let me know

Dorimanx is an XDA dev who works on a i9100 kernel, named after himself. I absolutely love this kernel. It's stable, highly customisable and often updated. Search XDA for it and you shall find.
So you want stock, as evidenced below:

Fish finger (hahaha) all you want is to update to the latest Samsung official firmware right? If so, forget what kona said, you don't need a recovery at all. All you need to do is to flash a stock ROM via Odin, with your phone in download mode. Where to get the ROM? Search on Samfirmware.com for a stock ROM for your country, region & carrier. Then, to flash in Odin, you can click the link in my signature and find a handy link to a tutorial from there.
