NO GB on SGS3
This method is rather old and Philz recovery is better especially in regard to SDS .

what rootSU means is that 4.1.2 has the SDS fix. check the SDS thread in General to find out more

choose the correct 4.0.3 stock rom and flash the same thro Odin
Flash through odin. I doesn't matter whether it is Gingerbread or ICS.
But do not use CWM to wipe. You will brick it.
Good luck!

I flashed Siyah over the stock kernel. Would it be safe to wipe in CWM now (using 4.0.4, XXLQ6)

No v5.0.1 are used for roms with new mali drivers i believe.(someone correct me if it works for stock roms) You can use v4.1.5. Although its safer to flash ICS 4.0.3.

Yea, its pretty much safe to use this Kernel with Samsung Stock ROM 4.0.4 to get rid of brickbug. I've tried it and its working fine.
Now I'm going to try one of those custom ROMs available here
as I can't wait anymore for Samsung to provide me the latest Jelly Bean ROM.
Go ahead with flashing Siyan v5.01, its safe.

Hereticnine.

New mali drivers?? Anyway you should realize the most suggested method to avoid brick bug in 4.0.4 ics is installing Siyah 5.0.1 because it's the stablest kernel in many ways.

yes its absolutely safe! i had siyah kernel 4.1.5 and just updated ti to siyah 5.0.1, every thing fine and i got an app stweaks, and i feel nthing difference by the way!
another thing-->it feels that my battery is draining a bit faster thn before.
i would seggest that update ur kernel only and only if u want to run cynogenmod10 JB on it, otherwise leave fone with siyah v4.1.5!
I want to do the same on SGS2
Presently running 4.0.3
I intend to use Philz temporary CWM recovery to flash the Siyah 5.0.1 and CM 10.1
Do-able?
Thanks

Just reboot into download mode and flash the .tar version of Siyah. No need to go through any other kernels/recovery first.

Stock 4.0.4 or 4.1.2?

How would I know what stock firmware should I get? I plan on installing Perseus and use my custom settings with STweaks so I need it to be stable as possible Also. I have no idea where my phone is originally from, Im on CM10 right now..
Id like a 4.0.4 or a 4.1.2 rom... thanks
Perseus doesn't work with ICS.
Why would you want an outdated version? 4.1.2 is official

Flashing roms in CWM is same in all phones...
If you looking for an AOSP roms, you can try SlimBeans... I use it and its really smooth and fast and low battry drain
If you Looking for Samsung base Roms, Try Wanam Lite or Android Revolution HD...
there is lots of note 3 ported roms but i found most of them laggy and unstable...

I have flashed lots of official roms, but i didn't see any important differences between different countries roms... Just some language features...
I'm persian but i flashed MK6 rom that is for Europe, I've got no problem... I can even type Persian...
For 4.3 rom, you've got just few choices and best of them is MK6... The other 4.3 updates have a lots of bugs but MK6 is almost bug free rom...
