Hey guys I'm having some trouble flashing jb roms. It always freezes during the install. I'm currently on ics.

I never flashed from ICS that I recall. However, you could Odin back to stock. Flash a good stable froyo and try to flash up from there.
I don't remember now if GB boot loader is 100% required but I have it on mine.
I'm getting ready to take an exam, if you haven't got it sorted before I return, I'll help you get running.
Thanks for the reply, I do have the gb bootloaders and I tried going back to stock and still no luck. I get a soft brick every time.

Which ICS ROM are you coming from, and are you doing full wipe?
I had a chance to think about it, and I had trouble getting up to 4.1 the first time I tried. I ended up stepping up gradually.
Odin'd to stock then went up to bionic, skipped GB, went up to latest CM ICS I believe... Then from there onto JB. Been fine since.
Its been a while but that's best as my memory cares to serve me.
I don't think its a real common problem, but occasionally something doesn't jive somewhere.
Hi,
Its not necessary BUT it will always work Odin back to stock and continuing. Once I tried to flash ICZen from FROYO but no luck. Then I ODIN back to stock then CM7 in the middle and ICS on top of it and it WORKED. I have flashed GB bootloaders to get easy key mapping (Anyway u have to flash it if it is required by the ROM) I have flahed JB 4.2.2 Avatar ROM on top of ICZen which has worked for me. woody has a [Guide] How to install ICS **EVERYTHING you need to know how to install them** so you can get an idea Sometimes you have to flash the ROM twice b/c CWM updation
Always do a CLEAN flash (FULL wipe) before flashing a new ROM
Hope u would get JB ROM flashed successfully

are you running leak ics rom or ics custom rom?
i came back to stock from senseless ics.
what i did was
first, went back to stock rooted by flashing stock kernel and stock rooted rom.
then flashed stock recovery then re-locked the bootloader
then finally flashed ruu.zip from fastboot (1.02.605.6).
stock kernel: team bamf's unsecured stock
stock rooted rom: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=55
stock recovery: http://db.tt/tw5m33ZG
re-lock bootloader: fastboot oem lock
ruu.zip: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=38
or ruu.exe: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=37
I currently have the CleanRom ICSE 2.3, and would like to go back to the rooted stock rom, will this guide work for me...
thanks guys... im not re locking bootloader since what i really wanted was getting back to gb from ics.. and that guide up here worked... thanks
im running a gb rom now it boots and all work good but i cant still upgrade kernels.. i did everything with the exception of locking bootloader.. when trying to upgrade kernel keeps telling me main version is older?
UPDATE
the only way i can upgrade kernels is by pushing them using adb ..at least it works that way

not sure, but i doubt it will work
since mainver has been updated.
u can still try though.
if it doesn't work, u just need to re-flash
the kernel and the rom i think.
I haven't seen a thread for this yet and some people who are running old firmware don't know about this so I thought I'd post it for those that are running old firmware and want to flash ICS Roms without updating to the latest leak. This will work for any .22 based Rom I have tried it on so far. Some devs mention it, others don't. I do not know who made this patch but it came with Scroslers Cleanrom and I thank him for it. If you have constant reboots after flashing a .22 based rom, this is for you.
Hope this helps.

every ics rom thread has a patch listed..... and for clearity... Joel was the brains behind the patch... while we may not of used his exact files he was the one that informed us of what files needed to be replaced

I then downloaded the firmware/radios/hboot combos from chilpill here

i got the ICS-2.25-JB-5-7 zip then i flashed the NEW FIRMWARE PATCH
and then i got NEWTS RLS 1 ROM
Im getting alot of errors and the main one is HTCDM has stopped and wondering if i have done something wrong I have done and redone again and wiped twice to three times
My questions are and i so apologize because i know its been a wore out subject
But how to know which firmware I am on ??
example GB firmware is this number???
example ICS firmware is this number???
if im on GB firmware and want to goto ICS firmware do i need OLD or NEW FIRMWARE PATCH???

Like i said I am so sorry but it is confusing because you say to get old firmware patch to update to ICS but i thought it would be new firmware to go to ICS

If you flashed one of my ics hboot combos then you no longer need to flash the new/old firmware patch after flashing a ics Rom
And I haven't done this myself but flashing the new firmware patch on top of a gingerbread Rom should alow you to use ics firmware on a gingerbread Rom
As for that error I have no idea why your getting it, maybe a bad download or a app conflicting with something, afaik nothing with the firmware or firmware patches will cause that issue

thanks superchilpil i do appreciate it tremendously
this might not be the best place for this but here goes.
i seen some talk that running ics roms on old firmware with patch is better the updating your firmware. i am s-off, ics with new firmware.
what are some of your thoughts on this?

Make sure you flash the boot.img (kernel) that belongs to the rom you are flashing.

If you are s-on, you have to make sure the kernel/boot.img is flashed after you flash the ROM. If you are trying to flash an RUU, you have to be locked.
Also, if you are on ICS firmware and trying to run a GB ROM, you'll need to flash the newfirmware patch. http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/
I haven't updated my my old faithful Vibrant in a while (then again, it's running amazingly fast and smooth and battery life is up in the 12+ hours range after average use) and was curious about Ice Cream Sandwhich. From what I've seen, it's fantastic, everyone loves it, yadda yadda yadda.
My Vibrant is running Froyo 2.2 with BionixNext Gen V2 ROM, Tigersblood Kernel and a KB5 Modem.
So my question: is there a way to flash to ICS without going back to stock 2.1 and doing so straight from the phone? Or do I need to go the whole Odin/laptop/USB cable route?
And any good recs for ROMs running on 2.2 in case I can't flash ICS? I'm a tad tired of Bionix.
Thanks all!
Download ics rom, download subzero or glitch kernel. Flash kernel, reboot recovery or use 3 buttons to get into recovery and flash ics.

You can do what Alex says.
Look at the link in my signature on a more detailed description of the process.
Just so you know, if you decide ICS isn't for you then you will have to go the Odin route back to non-ICS. Also there is a very real danger of getting the dreaded Encryption Error Bug (see top of my ICS guide for more details) .
As long as you didn't update to Froyo through Samsung Kies you should be OK. If you used Kies, revert to stock then cm7 then ICS.

Crap, I think I did upgrade using Kies, but it's been so long I forgot. Once I had Froyo, Bionix and Tigersblood running well I never flashed anything so it's been a while since I tinkered with the phone.
Thanks all, I'll look into the guides a bit more (been reading many of them and there are several different ways of doing this which is why I posted, I wanted to be absolutely sure before flashing).

There is a good video that covers how to flash from stock to ICS. Go to YouTube and search djeddieone and go to his YouTube page. He also has a video on how to get back to stock if your not sure how. I personally used his methods when i first started flashing and had no trouble at all.

Bro its cake:
Install CWM Recovery
Reboot into recovery.
Wipe data, then wipe cache
Install from ZIP.
Optionally install the Google Apps add-on.
Reboot.
You can optionally install a kernal like glitch but not necessary - I recommend Icy Glitch V14

Just so you know there may have been some very creative editing in the video. It doesn't cover everything and is a bit outdated also. I have read that people get stuck in some parts of it and also that some get through to full flash. Just take care.

Some will have to flash CM7 as an intermittent step between 2.2 and 4.0. It helps convert the /system partion to MTD correctly and smoothly. It isn't required but a good idea. (Note: flashing CM7 will not give you Gingerbread Bootloaders which are also no longer required but heavily recommended)
...and read up on the Encryption Unsuccessful error.

I don't think there was any creative editing lol. Djeddieone is a very trusted source actually. If someone messed up by watching his video then they didn't follow directions correctly or they upgraded through samsung kies and forgot to revert to stock first. There are a few comments on there saying it doesn't work but those guys did not realize this video is for Samsung vibrant only, that's their fault lol.

Hi, This question arises after much research and several kernel/rom combination attempts failing.
I have been having problems with the rooting/ROM flashing on several i777 lately. Obviously there are so many different ROMs and kernels. Mostly the ROMs I try are call "ROOTED STOCK ROMS" and custom kernels.
One observation I would really like to express is that NOTHING created by the dev. "ZEDOMAX" has EVER worked for me.!!!! Wiping/formatting, nothing. I have had problems ranging from non-booting to booting and running but overheating and rapid battery drain.
Also, seems as though this phone has lost the battle against age, in that all the custom dev. seems to be more than a year old, except for the UCMD8 that just came out. I also can't get that one to work. I reverted to ICS 4.0.3 mistakenly believing that the format/wipe step was safe unlike the 4.0.4 version which everyone warns against. Now I see that that is a problem for 4.0.3 as well, so I went with rooting 2.3.4 and tried to install GALAXSIMUNLOCK. It just won't install!!!
What to do now? This is exhausting.!!!
Interestingly, These phones still show LOTS of demand in the market whereas, The BEAUTIFULL pebble blue S3 with a brand new LCD/FRAME I have just sits there, no interest in it at all???
Any opinions would be GREATLY appreciated. Maybe 2.3.4 is too old for GALAXSIMUNLOCK???
Thanks

Apparently GB 2.3.4 is too old. I flashed a stock 4.0.4 ICS. Rooted, unlocked and updated to UCMD8. All is good!!!!
I also can't get UCMD8 rooted(cooked) rom to install for some reason it always turns out STOCK!!! very strange.

Cooked is essentially stock. You won't notice much difference in the way it looks. But there are differences. It has AJK kernel instead of stock kernel, has root and busybox, is deodexed and has been debloated. You can check on any of those things to see if they are there. Boot into recovery, try a root application, use a root file explorer to look into the root files, etc.
Make sure you data factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik in cwm recovery. Reboot in to recovery and flash the cooked rom again. Make sure the rom download was not corrupt.
