Flashing ICS

Currently I am running Calkulins 3.0 and now I want to try out Calkulins ICS so can someone explain the steps on what I should do to flash that ICS cause I don't want to brick my phone. Do I just flash like a normal ROM or should I just take different steps? Please help me out!!

Just mobile odin el26+cwm kernel and boot into recovery. Flash Calkulins format all and flash ROM.

You could find mobile Odin on the market. Its an app that cost 5 bucks and somewhere here on xda for free I think
Edit: Its a portable version of Odin that you used to root and flash your phone.

What he said^^^. There is a light version on xda for free. It will do the job. App is a must for any ROM flasher.

You can also just use the Auto Root sticky in development (Option C) to install EL26+CWM

I know its safe go back to gb using odin one click. Is it safe to go back to gb by odining el 26 kernel then wiping then flashING gb Rom?

Yes. I just use Mobile Odin to flash el26+cwm and wipe/flash as needed between all ROMs. I'm a flashaholic so I use it almost daily

Well they're only giving you pieces of information. If you're on Calkins 3.0 I have to assume that you are familiar with cwm rogue and most probably auto root or regular Odin. Its my suggestion that if you're not familiar with regular Odin (go to xda search bar and put in a search for Odin v1.85 and Odin one click el29 root and Odin el26 root) that you get familiar with it and download at least those three versions to your pc. It will save your a$$ in a pinch. Also you should have a copy of the latest auto root program. Put in a search on xda or head over to the developers section and skim through the first 5 pages. You're guaranteed to find them there. Now flashing to ICS isn't the hard part. Its getting back to el29 that causes all the bricks. -- 2Things. Go over to the general E4GT section and read the first thread. "How not to brick your E4GT". Also by all things in the universe that is good stay away from CM9 and any CWM touch kernels and roms. Both have been linked to bricks. Bad stuff there. Now that you have the programs you need on you're pc and you're a little more educated about ICS, I SUGGEST CALKINS ICS2.v1.4 Fd02. It had a stock kernel (safe) repacked with the same version of CWM that you already have on calks 3.0. Plus everything works and its very stable. All you need to do I'd down load Calkins format all and the ROM and put it on you sd card. Then go into recovery and wipe cashe then wipe dalvik cashe then go to mounts and storage and wipe your internal sd. Make sure to make back ups before hands so you don't lose any data. Now go to install zip and run the format all. When it is done go back to install zip and install ICS! LET IT REBOOT AND ENJOY. ALSO GOOD IDEA TO DOWNLOAD APP BACKUP AND CONTACT BACKUP OFF THE MARKET. BOTH ARE FREE AND WILL ALLOW YOU TO REINSTALL almos t all YOUR APPS AND CONTACTS AFTER YOU FLASH. Make sure you read all the instructions on how to use Odin as well. Hope this was a little helpful.

El26 with cwm is the latest safe kernel to flash with. El29 and later have rogue repacks and are not safe to use to flash from ICS to GB. I have flashed from ics to ics using fd02, fb21, and a few others with no issues(doesn't mean its safe). Only use el26 with official cwm to be safe.
Edit: especially when flashing to/from AOKP/CM9/AOSP.

Either. I do mobile. Flash the el26 tar and it will reboot. Hold power + volume up till you get to cwm. Then wipe and flash new rom per instructions of it's op. Good luck.
Edit: most ics roms don't include a custom recovery for a reason. Always Odin to el26 first, it's the safest way right 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.

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.

Did you try booting into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot, then try to update again?

Is there a way to flash between ICS roms faster?

I usually one click back to el29, install CWM, and then flash another ICS rom but it's very time consuming. Is there a faster and safe way?

What I did was nandroid my gingerbread system. Then I can flash whatever I want and restore gingerbread whenever I want to go back.

Restoring a GB nandroid on an ICS ROM won't cause the phone to brick?

It can. I'd suggest just keeping chris41gs ICS aosp/tw kernels in SD card. That way you can just Odin his kernel (if you're not already using it) and flash whatever from there

Yes you would. Just install FF18-CWM-agat-src kernel. Of course make a backup first just in case you get into trouble but I have been doing it over and over with no issues... So far :laugh:

Just checking, you know titanium backup can save all your apps and data? Flashing a kernel, then flashing stock back over it isn't exactly a fresh start and may leave you with the odd strange issue. Or not.
Still I'd recommend backing up your stuff and wiping everything, especially the system partition and doing a clean install.
That's what I would do anyway. Just my opinion tho.
