Hi all, so I've been trying to figure this out on my own but I'm still not sure. I am still pretty new to ROMing the N2 and was told here that I have to flash a downgrade .zip before going from a 4.2.2 to a 4.1.2 ROM otherwise I would corrupt my SD card. I didn't want to ask so much of the person who helped me then so I didn't ask any more questions. The thread reads of having a 64gig card, i have a 32. Anyone willing to elaborate on this would be greatly appreciated.

Similar to this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288925
Basically, you need that file to get rid of the mulituser structure on your SD card. In this case, size of the card is irrelevant.
OK so no matter what when I downgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 I flash the downgrade zip after the ROM flash? Thanks for the quick reply BTW.

Correct. Here is the actual link to the correct post in the CM thread.

Cool. Thank you very much. I hate being the guy who needs his hand held. I came from the Moto RAZR, and I am still learning about the unlocked bootloader. I THOUGHT I had all this stuff figured out when I got my N2. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

There's all this talk surrounding the ICS leak for the i9100. But, much to my dismay, I can't find a zip to download.
All I have found are .rar files. I'm looking for something I can flash with CWM.
Any help is appreciated.

Then your not running stock. I've read a few of the threads you've started and come to the conclusion that either you really need to read more before doing anything to your phone, or your just trolling for posts.

You need to help yourself before anyone here will be willing to help you. You've been a member for 5 months, and you've made almost 80 posts, yet your questions consistently indicate that you do not read enough to understand your phone and how it works, yet you post that you do things with your phone that you don't understand and don't know how to correct.
Odin back to stock and leave it that way until you understand what you are doing.

Search is your friend. . Look for one click return to stock, should get ya going again. For future ref, read twice, flash once. If you're diligent and follow directions here to the T you should be good to go %99 of the time.

Go to www.sammobile.com download a stock firmware, flash through Odin, reroot.

Find the right siyah kernel tar and flash through odin

I can't find 2.3.3 on sammobile only 2.3.6... does this matter? Or is there somewhere else I can find it?
Title adjusted
As was pointed out, it's always best to give a more descriptive title than 'Please Help'. I see you've got a few people helping you, good luck with it - it's usually a step you missed (I've done the same). Always read up and understand what you're doing before you do it, saves brain cells

u have very less or even outdated rooting option on GB, better to upgrade ur phone to stock ICS v4.0.3 (dwnld the stock ICS v4.0.3 firmware pertained to ur region on www.sammobile.com and flash the same using 'ODIN'.
After successfull flash and booting of ICS on ur phone, u can use Siyah kernel( .tar file for ODIN) to root ur phone by flashing the same vide ODIN
U might have corrupted ur install. If there is no VERY important data, i would recommend you to wipe data/cache and download a new STOCK rom and install using odin hope this helps. P.S. Only use odin and stock rom it has less chances of bricking the phone.

Hey guys I am a noob here so excuse my ignorance on troubleshooting ROM flashing problems. I have formatted my SD Card using fat32 and have tried to flash the new Jedi XVX ROM several times and it has failed every single time. MD5 matches up every single time and I have the very latest TWRP 2.4.1 recovery. The error message states "unable to open zip file". I have flashed every other ROM out there without issue except for this one. Any help would greatly appreciated on what I can do to fix this problem and enjoy this amazing ROM. Thanks again

I am currently on Eclipse V.1.1.1. I can flash Jelly Beans, Black Beans, and any other RoM you can think of except Jedi's. It's quite frustrating when I think I've done the basic troubleshooting steps and get nada. I am reading that people are drooling all over this ROM and it seems like I am the only one getting an error every time.

awesome thanks. And say i want to install slim bean (4.2.2) will i need a specific kernel (after i installed recovery of course) or juts full wipe and flash?

You will need to read and learn before you act. This phone is configured differently than what you are accustomed to, judging from your statement above. You won't install recovery separately on this phone, since it is built into the kernel, for instance. Most roms have flashing instructions in the OP.
Ok. Im rooted... I unlcoked it for Tmobile. and its now on 2.3.4. When i go to recovery it juts says android recovery. Im not sure if its Clockwork mod, because i havent used clockwork since the days of the Moto backflip. SO how would i go about getting Clockworkmod and then installing Slimbean.

The clear answer has already been given to you. Search for username creepyncrawly, read all the threads linked in his signature. You need to be patient, read and research for several days before attempting to flash anything. It was reckless and foolish to root before doing so.
