Right now I'm running an ICS ROM from Mijjhs with includes acs recovery... I was considering buying the premium app if it would ease the flashing process. But I don't know much about this app.... Does anyone have any advice?

All it does is take you to the recovery screen I bought it just to donate used it a lot when going to ICS from gb or vice versa
Personally I would rather use Mobile Odin to flash back to EL26 CWM Recovery and then flash the ROM through there. Since we don't have an official ICS kernel yet this is the safest way of doing it as of right now.
ROM Manager isn't really made for our phones and can easily cause a brick...use el26 kernel w CWM to flash anything for now.

OK this is kinda newbie like me but if u have a kernel in zip format u can extract the image out and flash it with mobile Odin and your all set. It helped me get calks latest kernel on blue kuban rom . Now if we could just get a update on the os itself that would be great
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
lol blu kuban has a rom updater and theres multiple threads with the fe22 kernel in it.. but yes, you can extract the zimage...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
The from updater don't list any fe22 kernels yet. And I like rogue recovery on the latest

Try using ZArchiver. Get from the market. Use it to unzip to moble odin and flash away. That's what I've been using and have had know problems with it at all.
Good luck and happy flashing. :thumbup:

Also if you go to the ACS site they have a new kernal package for the new ICS roms. I've using them and have had no issues.

I like acs I do but there recovery is odd. As in the buttons. Execute is menu button or power button and gets me all mixed up when coming from rogue recovery. Acts was the first custom kernel I saw but I held out for calks kernel as its packed with rogue recovery. Don't wanna risk flashing a bad recovery kernel otherwise you'd have to Odin to get it up and running again

Use agats modified acs recovery in the dev section if u need it. Power button is to select and there is a menu go back button or u can use the hardware back button. There's nothing wrong with it as long as you don't wipe data from it or try to flash a rom from there.

Can i just use calks format all with the included recovery in the cm9 nightly? Then just install blend, or will i run into problems doing it this way? Any ideas would be helpful thanks.
If its chris41 safe CWM recovery you can. If not just mobile odin el26 kernel and flash from there

Isnt that the one that comes bundled in the nightlies? I am on the 7/9 nightly....if its not, should i just go to Chris41g's post and d/l the AOSP CWM 5.xx and flash it with the current nightly recovery??
I would just Odin to el26 and flash from there to be 100% safe, doesn't really take much longer

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?
Sent from my SPH-D710
Yes. Use mobile Odin or Odin and flash agat63's kernel. Its safe to flash from ICS to ICS
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I have agats recovery is it still safe to flash from GB to ics?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You mean ICS to ics. GB to ICS use stock el29 direct boot kernel. Easiest way.

Based on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525495
It seems that the main issue was some emmc issue causing bricks when flashing with ICS because we didn't have an official release or the source.
I've seen a few rom developers state that they think this problem has been solved in some later kernels. Now that we have an official ICS release, Is this a safe process now? Are there certain roms or kernels I should be using to get ICS recovery to work safely?
Basically I want to no longer have to flash el29 just to try things like Google Now ports and stuff. I want a fully mobile option to flash multiple roms at my leisure like other phones
Agats kernel/recovery is safe. Sleshepic's kernel/recovery is also safe. I flash ICS to ICS alot thru their recoveries no problem.

I am glad someone else asked this because I was just about to do the same. I am on Agat and was about to go from stock rom to AOKP Milestone 6 but wasn't sure if I could flash back to TW based roms without having to go to EL29.
How do I flash their recoveries? I already rooted and have superuser. I just don't have a recovery and I'm confused on the articles I've read. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Every kernel is safe as long as you don't factory reset. use calks flash all zip instead of the wipe in recovery. Rujelus22 has a 2x wipe zip that does it twice. They wipe cache, dalvik, and system data in one shot.
What kernel should i be downloading? I have stock ICS rooted.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Flash Agats kernel. The .tar file in odin or mobile odin.

Is this really a bad recovery to be using. I always used clockwork on my HTC devices and when i rooted my epic touch i ended up with agat. Would it worth going through the trouble of installing a new recovery to get clockwork?

Sooooo, is it worth keeping or should i go through the trouble of installing clockwork.
And if i use Odin lite and flash the gb kernal with clockwork i can them boot into recovery and flash whatever i want?
And one more thing. I have a usb jig coming in the mail. If i am going to be doing all that should i wait till it comes in in case i need it or is it simple enough that i shouldn't worry.

Agat recovery is good for touchwiz based roms. I have flashed many ICS roms and zips using this recovery.
Regarding your questions if you want to flash a new rom follow the instructions in the OP of that rom, don't over complicate things. I use el26 recovery to flash roms. I load that using Odin from PC.
Its good to remember kernel and recovery are combined with this phone. Keep agat. If you want to go to jellybean get el26 kernel by chris41g. Also remember you will have a new kernel and recovery after you flash something.
