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.

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.

My Phone Stock Info
Samsung Galaxy S2
Model : GT-I9100
Android 2.3.3
Baseband : I9100DDKE2
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE8
Build : GingerBread.XWKE8
Note: Kernel changed after rooting.
I started my journey on the custom rom and custom kernel after two year i just wanted to share my journey and need your help where i am feeling a bit confused.
1~3 April 2013
Was on Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3
Rooted it using Proper Insecure Kernel via ODIN 1.83 + S2Root.exe
Flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4 via ODIN 1.83
Took backup of rooted rom using CWM 4.0.1.4
Took backup of everything using TitaniumBackup Pro to externalSD
Currently : On a happly rooted Gingerbred 2.3.3 Stock + CWM 4.0.1.4 :good:
I have downloaded several ICS and Jellybean Roms specifically made for the S2 and i would like to esp try the JB Custom Roms.
I have also downloaded stock roms for GT-I9100
ICS 4.0.4 Stock GT-I9100 [For India]
JB 4.1.2 Stock GT-I9100 [For Nordic Country as the one for India is not there]
Queries
Scenario 1 : Update Gingerbread Rooted To JellyBean Custom Rom [4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2]
My query is can i directly flash the ICS / JB Custom Roms to my rooted [Gingerbread 2.3.3 Stock + CWM Recovery 4.0.1.4.]
using CWM Recovery
Query for Flashing Procedure for the the JB Custom Rom
[Very Important and i am super confused and stuck here]
Will it flash the respective JB Custom Rom [be it 4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2]
OR
Do i need to first install Stock JB Firmware/ROM for GT-I9100, Root It , Install CWM and then Flash the JB Custom Rom.
Query for the Flashed JB Custom Rom
Will the flashed JB Custom ROM have the root
Will the flashed JB Custom ROM have the CWM Recovery
Do all Custom Roms have its own kernel
Do all Custom roms also have CWM Recovery or will flashing a new Custom Rom install a new updated CWM Recovery or i will have the same CWM 4.0.1.4 no new CWM Recovery will be there.
Can i restore my GB backup TitaniumBackup Recoverydata to the new flashed JB Custom Rom
Scenario 2 : Downgrade from Jellybean 4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 Custom Rom To Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3
Is this possible ?
Note
I already mentioned that i have taken ClockWorkMod Recovery Backup of my rooted Gingerbread 2.3.3 can i directly use that to restore the Gingerbread backup while i am on a JB Custom Firmware. I can restore the rest of the data using my backed up data in Titanium backup.
I also have downloaded the Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Rom for my phone can i flash this while i am on JB Custom Rom and go back to Gingerbread Stock.
Thank You for your Patience :good: and any help would be great.

1. You can flash the custom JB ROM directly via CWM (no need to flash stock JB). Just be sure to do a full wipe (factory reset) before you flash JB.
2. Yes, custom ROMs are rooted, and have CWM recovery (some may have TWRP recovery). They have their own kernels too. Ur current kernel and recovery will be replaced by those in the Custom ROM.
3. You can restore ur Titanium backups to the new ROM. But I would not recommend restoring system app data. Also, some restored apps may not work properly.

Yes, it is possible to downgrade to GB, either by flashing stock GB firmware, or restoring a CWM backup that you made.
P.S. Official stock JB firmware has been released for India today. And do not flash ICS 4.0.4 (there is risk of eMMC Brickbug issue).

Ur always welcome! Happy to help a fellow Hindustani..:thumbup:
Still, I would recommend you avoid posting such long and exhausting questions. Most people wouldn't bother reading them all. And most of the questions you asked are already answered in various posts in this forum.
I too had the same questions when I started out. A few simple searches on XDA answered them for me..

Hi Neo.
Thanks for all your answers.
And i will keep this thread updated with my journey.
Heading to download the stock JB rom for India just for archival purpose.
Will take a backup of the CFA folder in the root directory just for safety purpose.
Stock Roms are supposed to be flashed using ODIN [PDA] and
Custom Roms can be flashed using CWM Recovery right ?

Nope. Factory reset only deletes user data like downloaded apps, contacts, messages, call history, apn, settings, bookmarks, calendar, etc. Formatting SD card or external SD would delete ur CWM backup.

Why do u need updated CWM? U can use the one u already have.
I would advise against using ROM Manager, as many people have reported issues while using it to flash CWM.

Log April 4 2013
Jellyback 5.2.0 and Back to Gingerbread 2.3.3
Installed Jellybam 5.2.0 (JB 4.2.1) successfully
The JellyBam Rom had its own ClockWorkModRecovery 6.XXXX , took a backup of the installed rom.
It was eating my battery like anything, also the external memory card was no more in the original path "sdcard/external_sd".
It was sort of draining my battery at super speeds.
Lucky for me it has Clockworkmodrecovery after taking a backup i restored back the old Gingerbread Rom and prayed that it gets restored.
Back on my Stock Gingerbread for now.
Query
Now suppose if some rom has TWRP will i be able to restore my CWM Nandroid backup using it.
Also If some rom has TWRP can i replace that with CWM somehow ?
And do not flash ICS 4.0.4 (there is risk of eMMC Brickbug issue).

I checked my phone using the "eMMC Check" app and it does say that my yes for the brick bug.
Is this brick bug associated with ICS 4.0.4 Stock and Custom Roms only or other 4.0.X roms as well.
Also does this brick bug associated with any Custom JB Rom flashing via CWM Recovery.

Brickbug is only for STOCK ICS 4.0.4 firmwares with STOCK kernels. Once u switch to a custom kernel and CWM recovery, u can be safe.
As for ur previous query regarding TWRP, I will need to read up on that..

And you can't research this stuff yourself why exactly ? One day Immortalneo is going to get sick of spoonfeeding you like he has been over the past day, and nobody else is going to do it. What are you going to do when that happens ? (Hint: You'll need to do what everyone else here does & search/read/learn for yourself. The sooner you do that, the better for you).

Agreed , Thanks everyone , will figure it out.
I will post queries which are really causing a serious problem and am not able to figure out.
How to figure out before flashing a custom rom if it has CWM Recovery or TWRP.
Do any custom roms have TWRP, i read most of the roms description pages but i did not find any mention of CWM/TWRP.
I would want to stick with Custom Roms having CWM Recovery only.

That's because most ROMs come with CWM. TWRP is usually flashed separately.

Hey, i have an I9100 from Claro (BR), and i'm running Siyah kernel + Sensation ROM (4.0.4).
I'm willing to update from ICS to JB, but:
1 - I cant use my recovery to flash any JB rom, and
2 - If i flash a JB recovery, my phone wont boot either to OS or recovery.
What should i do?
Thanks.

Why can't u use your recovery to flash JB?
And from where did u get a 'JB recovery'?

I've read somewhere here that there are specific recovery's to JB and ICS. And when i try to install some JB rom (like CM10.1) i got an "Status 7" error.
Just flash the latest Siyah/Dori kernel for ICS then, and ur good to go.
Since ur on 4.0.4, I suggest u read about 'eMMC Brickbug' too, just to be careful.
AFAIK, Status 7 error could be because of a corrupted download or trying to flash the wrong ROM for your device. Please check both.

Managed to get into recovery and download mode after a few minutes and flashed custom ROM, never been so glad to see the samsung start up logo. Ahh, that's the end of me messing with my phone...going to stick to stock ROM and kernel.

I will give a probable explanation as to what happened:
Siyah v5.0.1 supports AOSP JB 4.1.2, but not stock JB 4.1.2! That's why ur phone didn't boot! You should have flashed v6.0b5.

OK, will do.
I think it is the Kernel I am using....3.0.64-CM-ge8aa6a7
Is the recovery tool built into the kernel? If so, can anyone recommend;
a) a different kernel?
or
b) How I can flash to the latest Revolt 4.3 ROM as I have only been running the Revolution ROM until his new build was released (Needs TWRP to install)
Ta muchly.
Yes it's built into the kernel. Dorimanx 9.xx will be good for 4.3 rom and also I'm guessing cm10.1 4.2.2 rom. It's cwm but should install that rom and run it. Also Apollo kernel has twrp if it's a must and seems to run 4.3,have a read of the thread.
