So from my understanding if I were to use sbhub fe10 odin flash I wouldn't need el26 with cwm right ? And lets say that if I were to wanna flash back to gb then I would either use cwm el26 kernel or odin the el29 full restore right ? I feel like I'm missing something...thanks in advance guys
Nvm this thread...sorry about the post

Safest to Odin back to el29 first

I think you can just Nandroid back (I haven't had trouble doing that before) but it might cause some problems. If you want the safest route, Odin back.
O ok... How bout mobile odin??
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Here's what I did
Odin full restore back to stock, use sfhub's auto root, then add recovery, reboot to recovery, nandroid back to your GB ROM. Also you don't have the annoying yellow triangle.
Is mobile odin the same as odin??

Mobile Odin works. I just flashed a GB recovery/kernel combo and wiped from there. The bricks are coming from the use of using CWM bundled with an ICS kernel. If you do any flashing with a GB kernel/recovery, you'll be good to go.
Note: You wont be able to boot on ICS with a GB kernel, so just boot into recovery if you choose that route.

Only bricks I've seen are from using Rom Manager and the temp CWM Touch. Kernel Repacks are fine for going back and forth between GB and ICS.

HOW are we taking risks? It's been clearly stated in several threads that the problem lies with RomManager and temp recoveries.. not with repacks.

Try on a completely stock rom like one of sfhubs Odin in clicks. Or it could just be sprint for now.

No go to his fe22 odin one click thread and use that to go to stock twiz. From there update prl/profile. Then you can go ahead and mobile Odin the el26 cwm kernel and ref lash to whatever rom.

I had that same problem on Frankenstein's last night. No matter what I tried they wouldn't update so I ended up going back to Calk's ROM. And I really liked Frankenstein's ROM and wish I could of stayed on it longer.

You can still flash a GB kernel even though you have a ICS ROM installed. It won't boot the phone completely(it'll freeze on the Samsung Galaxy SII screen on startup). But you can still get into recovery and download modes. That's the benefit right there. You don't need to flash all that though. Which ROM do you want to be on? The part about using Odin to go to FE22 and then go to EL26 has an extra step in it. You really don't need to flash the FE22 before going to EL26.

Ya some of them have CWM or a different custom recovery. What ROM is it that you want to install? What I mean is you don't need to flash to multiple other kernels/ROMs before eventually going to whichever ROM you want.
Go to the dev section and find sfhubs fe22 Odin one click and flash your phone with that. The reason you do this is so you will be on a stock rom where you can update prl and profile. After you do this, using Odin (with only auto reboot checked in top right corner), flash the el26 cwm kernel. Boot into recovery and from here you can flash back to Frankenstein or blazer whatever you want. You will need a computer.
So...
1. Fe22 Odin one click
2. Boot into fe22 stock rom and update prl/profile
3. Odin the el26 cwm kernel
4. Flash whatever new rom you want.

Doesn't need to be fe22, but needs to be stock touchwiz or close to so you can update prl/profile and that rom will let you do so. No problem, I'm ways here to help.

Yea all you have to do is Odin/Mobile Odin the el26 cwm kernel and boot into recovery. Then flash whatever you want from there.

you can restore a nandroid backup from el26 but if you are restoring an ics rom you have to wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash an ics kernel after you restore you backup.
I am on stock ff18 and I was just wondering if I could just replace the kernel to another without having any issues also if I flashed a new kernel would I still want to make a back up of everything?

Yes. Use mobile Odin or Odin and flash agat63's kernel. Its safe to flash from ICS to ICS
