so i installed fb17 rom, but i want to go back to the GB for now. where do i get the stock gb rom and kernels and such?
See the ODIN links in my signature.
Sfhub this ICS leak might be keeping you busy for a while.
Well i saw in another post that if i used the stock recovery to flash rom in my sd card it would work so i tried it and it worked

Could some kind person possibly back up and upload their stock rooted Rogers ROM and the CIQ-free rogers kernel in a CWM flashable format? I'm having some issues with a custom ROM, and I don't actually own a Windows PC to use ODIN to flash back to the the rooted rogers rom in the 'How to root your captivate glide' thread, so I'd really like to be able to use CWM to get back to stock to see if the issue is my phone, my kernel, or the rom.
Edit: I tried Heimdall, but it just constantly 'Fails to initialise protocol!' on me, so that's a no go.

i second this request, im fortunate to have odin to flash the rooted stock rom CarpeNoctum provided but a CWM-Recovery version so we can do this on the fly
Hey fellas just moved to this section from the Inc s since I sold that phone and what a nice phone it was.So I got the Samsung glide and thanks to all the people here I rooted and installed the cwm and now I am ready to get my hands on a nice custom rom.
So now I am gonna backup my Rogers Samsung glide and upload it somewhere for the peeps above who where requesting it.
So keep an eye om this post for the download links.
Ok so I backed up my stock rooted rom and there is more than on file in there so someone tell me if I should upload all of them or just certain ones.
And also where is better to upload files by the way cause I have not done it in a while.
Cheers!
Edit:
Here is a link to my backed up stock rooted Rogers 2.3.5 rom.

I know you guys probably get a lot of new users asking...
Recently I acquired a SGS2 with sprint.
It is currently on ICS leak 24.
My understanding is that while on ICS or AOSP:
* never mess with CWM, ROM manger, recovery. I don't ever use nandroid backup's so I'm okay on that zone.
* Make sure the USB cable isn't bad, or phone port.
* Always use the EL29 full restore odin one click(not the preserve data package), then install the CWM recovery and wipe data/use Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL one or two times. Then, flash the custom ROM of my choice. Then re-flash back using the EL29 Full restore if I wish to try out another ROM or update to a ROM.
I have no issues following those steps to ensure I don't brick my device. Is all correct? Thanks guys!
This thread is your friend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525495
I wouldn't say never mess with CWM, just know what you are doing in advance.
That thread he posted will tell you everything you need to know, If you have any more questions just ask me I update that thread fairly often just so you know too.
Always Odin to stock before switching Android versions
Use only FB21 or FB28 to flash ICS ROMS
You don't need to go back to EL29 to flash a new Android version. But Odining to stock can allow for a smoother install. But it's pretty pointless to say... Download The Goodness ICS Rom 3.1, and then when an update comes to 3.2, go back to EL29.

It is okay if I flash a ICS ROM from EL29 though right? =) I'm pretty comfortable with blazer 4.1 at the moment though so I see no desire to flash a ICS ROM till source is out and there is an official method.
Yup no problem at all, just make sure your on the stock repacked EL29 kernel and not rogue when you flash and don't restore anything when ICS is installed. Once source is out we should be good on bricks but till then be safe broski. I like ICS too but I'm sticking with blazer too just because battery life.

Thanks for that, So I can't be on the rogue from autoroot option C? How would I go along the terms of that.
I use the EL29 Restore package, then use the auto-root package to install my recovery. Unless that isn't correct. Can i use the recovery of rogue to flash an AOSP ROM at least? Sorta confusing after being a HTC user for the longest... Touchwiz feels very smooth compared to sense.

Lol sorry I should have clarified what I meant by rogue. That kernel is fine as it's the repacked el29 kernel, however don't use A rogue kernel such as gunslinger to flash (kernel with OC and UC options) You may not have issues but better safe then sorry. I actually really like tw, between this and aosp it's my favorite. If your going to flash aosp such as aokp or cm9 I recommend following the instructions here

Late to the party, but if you are going for GB to ICS, I recommend you Odin a stock EL29 first just to be safe. Also, make sure that your GPS is locked before you flash to ICS so that your GPS ability stays.
I want to run leaked ics.
I also want to keep stock GB.
Is this possible?
Advisable?

Back up a nandroid of your gb before you flash ics. Or just use odin one click back to el29.
Your best bet would be to read through these forums and get a real good idea of what your doing so you don't end up with a bricked phone!
You could do a backup of your current GB setup then try an ICS rom out. That way if you dont like it you could just restore back.
Just run whatever you want on ICS, then use sfhub's one-click odin package to safely flash back to GB if you ever need to. Make sure you read up about bricking before flashing ICS.
Alright, so my phone isn't on 4.0.4 yet, and I was wondering if it would be safe to update it even though I have a custom ROM installed. The ROM I'm using is Blazer ROM EL29 v4.0, if it makes any difference.

What are you asking? Do you just want to jump to ICS?
You can use sfhub's one-clicks to get to stock rooted FF18 (the latest OTA version). With sfhub's one-clicks you can try the 'no data' version (to preserve your user data) but you may experience some wonkyness. If so use his 'reset data' to just completely start fresh. Then use sfhub's Autoroot package to add a custom recovery - CWM+Agat_safe kernel.
You can then use CWM to install what ever ROM you choose - as long as you read AND FOLLOW the developers recommendation for installing their ROM.
Nearly all of the ROMs are so polished and reliable you really can't go wrong with any of them Try them out and see what works best for you. The devs here are all pretty awesome.
I was on blazer 4.1 before jumping to ics too. I used format all zip and flashed blazer ics in recovery. I then flashed agats latest kernel right after. I believe blazer ics was using an older version of agats kernel.
Don't forget to flash the ff18 modem if you want it.

I was wondering if I could just apply the update, without using Calkulin's Format All. Like, if I were to apply the update without removing the ROM I have installed at the moment for 2.3.6. I'm not worried about a ROM for 4.0.4, just whether or not I could apply the update to my phone as is.
If you receive the ota update and try to install it, it will fail. Blazer ROM has changes to the system files that will cause it to fail. If you are on a custom ROM, there's no point in dealing with ota updates. The dev of the ROM will update it anyway.
If you want ics and rooted, then follow what leader said above. I was just saying since you were already on blazer, the blazer ics is a great ics rom.

Well sounds like your trying to 'save some time' by not going the full wipe route or the other one I suggested - use sfhub's FF18 One-click 'preserve data' (which by the way is like an OTA update they - Sprint/Sammy release interneally) and then seeing if your data keeps/is intact and there are no issues. Then adding CWM via his Autoroot.
IF you use the above method you have a very good chance that your data will be intact and you will then be able to 'move it forward' to other ICS ROMs.
From there you can flash the 'Modified_Calkulin_Format_All' which keeps data then flash the latest Blazer and see how that settles in and if you have any issues.
I've used this method on no less than three devices and all worked and worked well.
OR
You can try the 'fast way' [with which you may still end up having to do a complete 'reset data' Odin flash anyways if it tanks]
Use CWM to install the latest modem of your choice (FH13 has been great for me and many others).
ThenTry using Calkulins Modified Format (keeps you 'data') And after that flash the latest ICS Blazer.
Good luck.
I haven't gotten my way entirely around this specific phone when it comes to recoveries and such. My sister owned this phone sometime before me and while she had it, I rooted it and installed a safe recovery. I later flashed CM10 on it, but earlier I flashed a rooted version of the JB leak, and wanted to know what recovery can I use with JB so I can flash other Touchwiz JB roms?

There is an Agat repacked FK23 thread but there are known issues. You can check out that thread in the dev section. There are some other repacks in there as well.
As of right now, the recommendation is using el26 cwm as the go to recovery for flashing anything while on a JB TW build.
So, in short, you'd:
1. odin el26cwm
2. either do a battery pull or long press and hold power+vol up (as normal) to get straight back into recovery (rom will not boot now)
3. Flash the JB TW rom
4. Flash the JB stock recovery.
5. PC odin the JB modem (if you're currently not on one)
If you're going to flash any aosp/aokp builds, those thread OP's have detailed suggested instructions.
