Im new to all this flashing and messing with mobiles and am a little lost so i need some help. I have a SGS2 running Checkrom V4 which im very happy with i have CWM installed and my rom backed up but i would like to upgrade to ICS. My issue is after doing loads of reading im not sure that its done through recovery and when you do have ICS on your device you don't have CWM so no easy way as far as i can tell to go back to gingerbread. I have odin on my PC that's setup and mobile Odin on the phone i just need someone to give some idiots instructions, what worrys me the most is no recovery. Is it worth waiting for a official ICS to come out that's stable with CWM or some other easy way to change roms, as i understand it some country is due it officially today.
Does someone have a idiot guide they can do for me of a decent stable Rom and how to install it and how the recovery works, i would really appreciate it, as all the threads have multiple parts that need flashing not just a simple rom there's add this and that. That doesn't worry me but i worry about becoming stuck on a ICS rom that's a load of ****, ideally i would like just a standard stock official UK rom that updates itself OTA or is stock with root and CWM but iknow we could be waiting a while for that.
thanks

Those are about the only thing i hdnt read.
cheers
so after a long trial and error proccess I fnally got my stratosphere rooted and rom'ed with tweak rom plus rhc overclock kernel. its pretty awesome to say the least. the only thing is the tweaked rom 2.2 is getting a bad file error when I try to flash it so im on 2.0 right now and the phone eeps asking me to upgrade to the newest firmware I guess. is it safe to upgrade or should I just stay at the version im at. or does tweaked rom 2.2 actually do the upgrading for me and I think need to try reflashing?
So, after many hours and errors, the only way I could get root on wifes 10.1 running 4.0.4, was to factory reset and flash Toldo's Jelly Bean rom v8. This rom is better than stock by far, so don't get me wrong here, but I really want to try some other roms. I worry that the way I had to get root will cause issues if I start flashing new roms. I would really like to put CromiX on it if it were possible, I run 4.6.6 on my TF700 and it is too sweet! Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Dear friends,
It looks like we lost few great dev so far, and face a lot of abandoned rom. Since then, i would try to use one custom ROM for my daily driver, and to use it a long time (since i would go abroad and will not flashing the device on abroad). Which custom ROM is most stable for daily use, and no need to update baseband (because i found it so hard to update). Thanks friends..

Hello.
I'm using currently Rammars Paranoid 4.4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l9/development/rom-paranoidandroid-4-6-t2933958 , been using it for daily use(mostly twitter, whatsapp and instagram), no problem with that, pretty smooth fast, i suggest using Nova launcher, and if you like eye candy, get the Androidl theme from playstore, as far as you keep away from gaming, and really heavy apps, it is stable. No kernel panics, no unexpected shutdowns/reboots. All great. But the onlydownside, surprinsgly the best battery life i stumbled upon was for rammars lollipop, 5.3.2 the most stable to be exact.
Still, i`m right now about to restore CWM backup of a nandroid (v20h) to be back on stock, becaue, honestly, there won't be a more stable ROM than stock.
If you still have a stock rom installed, updating rom and baseband won't be difficult, if OTA or the LG Flash Tool won't give you anything newer than v20h(like in Europe) you need the appropiate KDZ file.
With a custom rom, seemingly the LG drivers and tools no longer recognize the phone, and getting back to stock or updating bb gets a bit complicated. I wrote down my sad story in Artas' thread, an finally I even succeeded, it's all there.

Sorry for offtopic, but getting back to stock is pretty easy if u use NANDROID, but if you want a full wiple, like the way you bought it, no CWM no nothing, KDZ flashing does the trick.
I'm sorry, didn't notice the baseband thing, on what baseband are you at?
hi i'm used 4.4.4. artas and think it's the better i have a p768
I just rooted my OF1 phone and tried one of the 3 ROMs the guy that made thread suggested but since the ROM is lollipop based Im still having the same problems I ad with the stock one so Im trying to find out if theres a way to install any ROM that isnt lollipop based or if its possible to go back to the stock ROM cause Im even having more problems after installing the ROM I tried
Which ROM did you flash, and what kinds of problems are you having?
