After running Cyanogenmod 10 along with ClockworkMod, I'd like to flash my i9100G to the just released stock Jellybean 4.1.2.
Do I have to pay attention to anything special or does it suffice to simply flash 4.1.2 via Odin?
Thanks in advance.

As long as you flash JB for I9100G you'll be fine.
Factory reset would be wise, not mandatory tho.

To add to gastonw's advice, don't forget to backup!!
And if u want a prerooted stock JB, use Mobile Odin!

Would you recommend using Mobile Odin? During the last months I've heard about many bricks resulting from Mobile Odin. Is it now safe to use it?
Another question: If I flash via Mobile Odin, can I remove Clockworkmod Recovery as well?
And could someone please tell me whether flashing via Mobile Odin is as safe as flashing via Odin?
bricks via mobile odin? where did you read that?
It's safer than odin because if things go south you can use odin
And flashing any stock ROM will wipe CWM.

hello. I'm on stock 4.1.2 (XXLS8), and have root (got it with that method of flashing update.zip through stock recovery). now I'd like to get ParanoidAndroid. afaik, I have to have CWM to install it. so, is it possible to flash siyah kernel (it includes CWM, right?) through mobile odin, and then flash Paranoid? I don't really care about which kernel I have, so maybe there are also easier/better ways to achieve what I want? thanks.

Yes, it is possible. And after flashing PA, u will end up with the kernel in PA Rom, and not the siyah u flashed.
U can also use temporary CWM zips (available on xda) to flash PA. Then u can skip the step of flashing Siyah kernel.
Backing up ur current rom is also a good practice, in case u end up with problems after flashing...

thx for answer, seems clear now now I'm curious, which recovery I'd have after installing PA... CWM from siyah would be kept?

Ur welcome.
Recoveries are linked to kernels. So u would get whatever recovery comes bundled with the kernel of PA rom (u can find it out from the PA thread). :thumbup:

Hi,
I am trying to revert to Stock ROM on GT-I9100G. Read all the posts I could find. And still no success.
Everytime I flash a rom in Odin it fails.
Followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Managed to flash the kernel (KI3) but the rom fails..
Can enter download mode but not to recovery mode
Any advice?
I9100 ?
Flash siyah v5 or v6.
Flash lsj (phone, code & CSC only).

Hi,
Since you have GT-I9100G, i would recommend posting this in the Q&A thread in "GT-I9100G Android Development" section (It's in the Samsung Galaxy S II forum just a few steps down from this Q&A section)
Tell us if you fixed it by going there

There is no troubleshooting section for GT-I9100G, only android development
Whether you edited the OP or I didn't notice the G.
Flash a stock ROM via odin, don't flash any custom kernel.

Thanks for the reply,
Does it matter which stock rom? i mean there are many countries and different versions in sammobile.
Also I already tried some kernels, is there a a way to wipe them away?
Thanks
Yes, it matters.
I9100 & I9100G don't share the same hardware.
Almost everything meant for I9100 won't work on a I9100G neither the other way around.
Flash this.

OK! finally flashed this one: I9100GDZKL3_I9100GDZKL3_I9100GOLCKL3_HOME.tar.md5 and managed to boot
Now it is 2.3.6 how can i upgrade it to android 4? I am afraid i will flash anything else it wont boot again
so i've decided to downgrade back to ics as im getting kinda bored with jelly bean. can i safely flash stock ics firmware via mobil odin? as i cant use usb connection as my pc wont detect my device. also i saw in a thread something about a brick problem with 4.0.4. what is all that about and can i flash stock Australia XSA I9100XWLPW ics 4.0.4 from Mobile Odin safely or will i need to flash 4.0.3 and upgrade ota?
Fix your usb problem first.If you dont theres a chance you could be in trouble.
You can flash firmwares directly using Mobile Odin. And brickbug affects stock 4.0.4 firmware with stock kernels.

i have flashed other firmware via mobile odin, was just curious if there was anything i should know about downgrading. also i had a bit of a look but im not sure i understand what it means by brickbug affecting 4.0.4 roms and stock kernels. does that mean it wont work at all with stock 4.0.4 kernel? and do i need to do something extra to use 4.0.4?

Mate, you really need to read a lot more.
Downgrading/upgrading is no different when ur flashing a firmware via Odin/Mobile Odin. And like theunderling said, a working computer connection might save u one day...
As for Brickbug, there are many threads here that will help u out..

ok so after some reading what i understand is that the brickbug only comes about if i wipe with CWM on stock 4.0.4 with stock kernel?
therefore if i have a custom kernel like siyah or use stock recovery to wipe everything should be fine?
You just answered your own question with the first sentence of your last post.

Good work!
Brickbug occurs when u wipe with CWM while on a stock kernel on 4.0.4. If u flash a custom 'safe' kernel, no more risk of bricking even if u wipe.

hi there. noob here, just making sure I understood this superbrick issue: if I flash via ODIN a 4.0.3 official firmware+kernel, I am safe from the bug even if I wipe data/factory reset later? thanks...
As long as you're not on 4.0.4 you're safe.

but each time i try to flash it, it fails even i try 4.1.2 and 4.0.4 roms
any help with it??
thanks alot
if u can tell me what it means this when i go to download mode it says : custom Binary download yes( 4 counts)
It fails when you flash via Odin? Have u checked the odin troubleshooting guide yet?
Custom binary downloads = custom ROM installs

Don't flash 4.0.4 pls. Brick bug is not a good thing.

i have flash it by odin 1.85 and the rom is 2.3.5.. all ok and done
but how to upgrade it to 4.0.4?
You don't. Forget 4.0.4
If you really want ICS go for 4.0.3
Flash with Odin the same as GB you just flashed. Or root your gb rom and use mobile Odin pro to flash it.
