...and after the ROM, I flashed the radio, not sure if it was the proper order, but it works.
Now, if I want to flash a kernel, should I do it first, then re-flash the ROM?
Or would flashing it now be fine?
Thanks.
You can flash it now, just run Darkside Cache Wipe after and then reboot.

This. If you flash a kernel and then a rom, the kernel in the rom will overwrite the kernel you just flashed. Rom first, then kernel.
So I noticed most JB ROMs have gapps seperate from the ROM. For some reason, when I flash the ROM then the gapps the phone boots back into recovery. But when I do just the ROM it boots fine. I'm on ascent V2 which is JB with gapps included.

I don't know if it was your on Rootz...
But another user (maybe two?) were having this problem as well.
I don't think we've found a specific solution...
Are you wiping and installing correctly?
Yeah I tried wiping before and after the install. if that's your question?

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.

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.

Flash Agats kernel. The .tar file in odin or mobile odin.

This is what I followed. Worked great and super easy.

I have tried flashing the most recent gapps from Goo.im as well as the Gapps from Android 4.1.2. Neither are working for me. The older gapps causes constant error messages with gapps and the newest gapps does nothing when I flash it. Nothing gets installed. Help!
Tried thoose? http://rapidshare.com/files/3580601868/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Yeah I did. Nothing installs after I flash them. It is weird. Got them from goo im who has all of the gapps on their server in addition to pretty much any ROM you can think of.

I was having some errors and I found that a wipe data & cache was necessary. also, DO NOT select GAPPS 4.2 in the download and flash.
I did wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache before. And what did you mean by that last part?

It seems strange ... These on multi-ROM 4.2.2 worked fine for me .. Honestly I have not tried the latest CM but those gapps are recommended for cyano 10.1.x (4.2.2) .. The recovery is updated the latest version?
Yeah it is. I think I will give it a try again tomorrow with a later nightly. I can last on MMuzzy for another day or so LOL. It is a perfectly fine ROM, but after some time on practically stock, I want customization again.

with the touch beta I had several problems on various flash and for this reason I switched to twrp ... if gapps are good (MD5) the problem may be the revocery.
I have wondered about TWRP. How's it compare?

when I loaded Cyanogen 10.1 nightly, I did a wipe of data and cache and I did not select the GAPPS 4.2 because they are included in the ROM.
The latest nightly has gapps included?! Since when? The post here on xda says they don't and provides a link to gapps on goo.

I could be completely incorrect about the GAPPS being included but I'm just reporting what I did... I did NOT select the checkbox to download GAPPS 4.2 along with the 3/16 nightly that I loaded with a wipe data & cache and I have everything working including gmail, calendar, maps, nav, the new camera, etc.
using Rom Manager to download and flash...
Hmm I haven't tried through ROM manager so I might try tonight. Does it auto flash or just download the zip to your phone for you to manually flash in recovery? I usually install ROMs in recovery after wiping cache, davlik cache, and if needed, data wipe.

So apparently using ROM Manager worked (thanks for the suggestion). What do you guys recommend for a kernel, though? I like Franco.Kernel, but after flashing it, my device does not detect my GNex dock. (Can't have it automatically do Daydream when I put it in the dock)

sorry for the late response... you probably already know that Rom Manager downloads the new ROM in the background and then prompts you to flash it along with presenting switches as to whether to wipe data and cache as well as performing a backup before flashing.
Yeah I used ROM Manager and it worked. They really have improved the app and are better now about keeping a current list of the hottest ROMs with most recent updates. Wish the wipe option had cache, dalvik cache, and data as separate options. Don't want to wipe data just to dirty flash a new nightly

I'm assuming you're coming from stock rooted TW.
First two things you want to do are:
Upgrade your phone baseband/firmware to MD4. The newer versions of CM10.1 include a check for your bootloader. It must be MD4, so you'll need to make sure you're running that. You can go to Freeza's thread and download the MD4 Update file:
MD4 Firmware:
MD4 Firmware/modem/baseband update
MD5: EEEAFDBE59CF9C5B492B1A591EC92D02
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The file name is: Galaxy-S-fre3-MD4FirmwareModemAIO.zip
Upgrade your Recovery to the latest. I only run TWRP, so I can't say anything for CWM, but it's best to use the latest TWRP (v2.5.0.0) for installing CM10.1. Naddict has created update zips for the various recoveries that you can flash from the recovery itself. Also, CNexus has a recovery switcher that works well, too.
Other than that, I always recommend a full wipe before switching between TW and AOSP:
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
Wipe /data
Wipe /system
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much.
Yes I'm stock rooted with cwm. And I have md4 already installed.
How stable is Cyanogenmod rc5?

I honestly haven't used CM 10.1 in a while, but typically the Release Candidates (RCs) are pretty rock solid. The best thing to do would be to read the last 10-15 pages of the CM10.1 Thread to see if there are any known bugs with RC5 (and if they're deal breakers for you).
