I have a bit of a noob question here. I'm going to odin back to stock as well as factory reset, now if i wanted to use Darkside wipe (assuming its not overkill and unnecessary) would I do that before I odin? Ie launch CWM, run darkside wipe, then go into download and odin?
thanks in advance.

That is the best method to assure you have a clean install. Be aware though, titanium won't work. You will have to root your phone again.

I've been trying to install a new rom on my epic 4g touch and I'm currently running blazer rom 4.0 and trying to try out new roms like calks new 3.0 gb rom but it gets stuck on the boot screen and I tried a fresh Odin from stock and rooted and cwmd but it gets stuck on cwm and even in worst case, it's got rid of my cwm to where I had no choice but to Odin back to stock
Which recovery are you using to flash? If you are using hitman that is your problem. When I tried to flash Blazer 4.0 SAME thing happened to me. Try a different recovery. I have had excellent luck with gunslinger 1.41.
Which ever version rouge 5.0.2.7 is

Alright so you Odin'd back to stock now what I would do is reinstall CWM then flash the Gunslinger kernal then retry. Also when you flash the rom make sure you wipe Cache, delvic cache, wipe data factory reset. Then go to mounts and storage and wipe system. Then flash.

I had the same issue when trying to install blazer 4.1 coming from calks 3.0. The flash would go thru with no errors but wouldn't boot. Then I had to Odin to restore the phone. What worked for me was downloading the blazer from on my pc then sending it over to my phone. Flashed then no problems. Maybe it was a bad download?

Use sfhub's one-click to Oding to Stock EL29 (full reset!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101. Then use his AutoRoot [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 ]and add CWM+Rogue.
After downloading (and before extracting the zip of course) check the MD5 and make sure you got the full downloads!
This will give a full stock AND a good CWM. Trying to do it any other way is silly in my opinion. Especially with all the bricks.
Then you can boot into recovery and flash away.

Second that! Blazer 4.0 had some new frame work baked in... So a full wipe is needed when switching to and from blazer 4.x
I've used calks format all and haven't had any problems

Before I installed Darkside I rooted original 2.3.6 and backed it up with Rom Manager. My question is this right now I am trying to get to that original ROM I backed up and there is no problem with that other than I did flashed my modem as instructed in Darkside info. Now do I just restore from recovery menu or I need to restore + flash modem that I had before (btw what modem was there to begin with I do not know) And second thing about Darkside. Right now I see Darkside and Darkside evolution 2 so .... is it same thing ? Cause I was with Beta 2 ..then 3 then all sudden I see beta 4 yet it's Darkside ... not Darkside evolution 2 ... and on top of that I see 3 different modems to choose from ..... getting a bit confusing for me ....
All I want is my backup of rooted original with original modem on my device for a day or so ....then I'll go back to Darkside craziness I just want to test if my games will play better and battery life will do the same.
If my post a little crazy sorry I just all confused now.
P.S.
Is there a way to get original rom that I have backed up to look like ICS ..with Apex may be ? And I just love lock screen from Passion ICS ... how do I make one for my Galaxy S II T989 ?
Thank you guys !
First off, there's a q+a section, so post your questions there from now on.
I restore backups with different modems all the time; just make sure you are reformatting every time you flash a new rom. run this zip before you flash or restore
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955
Questions go in the Q&A section
Oh snap ! was totally sure I am posting in it ! Thank you for your answer !
One more thing if possible. I am with ATT is there a modem that will work "better" with ATT or they are all the same ...and if they are why there is more than one instead just collectively agreed on one to use.
And any info on that ICS lock screen from Passion ICS anyone ? ( how to get one with T989)
After you flash the Super Wipe, Flash Kernel Cleanser, then flash the ROM.
you can find Kernel Cleanser here.

After you have all the files you need on your SD Card...
1. Reboot to recovery.
2. Do a NAND BACKUP.
3. Flash Super Wipe.
4. Flash Kernel cleanser.
5. Flash Radio if needed.
6. Flash ROM.
7. Reboot.
Some ROMS needs to reboot again after 10 mins so read carefully.

Yes you Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Dalvik-Cache..
Restoring a Nandroid Backup
Step 1. Boot up to Recovery with VolumeUp+Power.
Step 2. Select Wipe then Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Dalvik-Cache.
Step 3. Press the VolumeDown button on the side of your phone to go to the first menu.
Step 4. Select Backup/Restore
Step 5. Select Nand Restore

AFter couple of tries i have to ask you guys : how to fully wipe my phone after and before flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
I did wipe data/factory reset in CWM but internal memory is still there... So it was not full wipe.. Although when i flashed rom i got that initial setup, but internal memory was intact...
So, how to do full wipe before and after flashing 4.1.2 stock via odin ?
Thanks in advance

a full wipe is formatting system, data and caches not sure if odin formats system

To answer your question, yes it will. And do a full wipe BEFORE not after flashing a ROM.
Here's the link for the script. Merry Christmas!

Ah. You will be able to flash it via Odin. But do not wipe or use the suoer wipe script AFTER. Just do it before flashing. Use the Mega Wipe from the AROMA of Zoot's script.
But be aware, it will erase your internal SD card as well so move every important thing to the external.

So I'm updating my firmware by flashing to the latest stock rom with Odin, then flashed CWM with odin, and now I'm trying to restore a NAND backup to get back to my previous CM rom and I'm stuck with a MD5 mismatch. So how do I fix this, keeping in mind that I'm now back on stock rom which just hangs on the samsung screen at boot. Funny, everyone in the dev section made this process sound painfully simple.

It is simple, just reboot into recovery and do a "Factory Reset" & wipe cache and dalvik but don't wipe system or data then reboot the phone.
99% of the time it always works. If you are in the 1% and it still does not work your best bet is to ODIN flash the new stock-rooted
Tmobile T999 v4.1.2 Jellybean rom. That works 100% of the time for everyone.

I will give that a shot, but I assumed having come off a fresh Odin flash to stock, the cache and dalvik would have been wiped already and it basically was just "factory reset" with the flash. Here goes...

Thank you very much sir. Factory resetting as you said got me into the stock rom, and from there I deleted the contents of the nandroid.md5 file which allowed me to restore the backup and now I'm back in CM.
Cheers to you.
Which is best to return to stock? Im selling my s3 and I need to get it back to stock. Is kies better than Odin since it's an official software from Samsung than Odin?

Awesome, thank you!
After flashing stock via Odin, you will likely have to boot into stock recovery, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. Reboot.
