Hey guys, im rooted on stock jb for tmobile with stock recovery. I wanna get custom recovery and flash back to ics and use a custom rom like wicked v7.
To do this do I just download goo manager, install its recovery, wipe then flash? Or do I have to change the firmware etc?
Sorry, I usually search for my solutions but im read mixed stuff on reverting and I really dont wanna brick this thing. I even kinda forgot how to do all this since I havent touched my old sensation in months.
Thanks guys.

Yup.
If you're rooted, 1. download goo manager 2. install openrecovery script 3. flash ROM of choice. You may need to wipe cache and data if you get a bunch of FC's since you're going back to ICS from JB. Don't forget to do a nandroid (step 2.5).
Already on Frosty ics, but thanks guyss

What I would first do is Odin the ics so you have all drivers installed properly then root and flash rom of choice

I agree with Crisisx1. I know you said you're already running Frosty (I'm a Wicked guy myself) but if you notice any anomalous behavior, I'd definitely Odin to stock ICS and then go through the proper flashing process. This will ensure all of your partitions/drivers are properly set up. GL man.
So far so good, if any weird things happen ill deff odin back, thanks again guys.

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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Flash Agats kernel. The .tar file in odin or mobile odin.

So basically I was having issues with my phone and ended up getting a warranty replacement. So b4 I sent my old one back I needed to revert it back to stock. I found a flashable zip from zedomax that returned the stock kernel, recovery, and ROM. Only thing it was 2.3.5 gingerbread. I was running infamous 3.1 and did darkside super wipe and cache., well after flashing the zip I got the stock recovery, and part of stock boot animation, well after the stock boot animation then came the infamous animation then nothing. It wouldn't boot up past that.,I ended up using Odin and fixing it and converted stock that way. My question is... Is there a special method going from ics to gb?

Yeah just use odin or a flashable zip to return to stock no big deal
I know how to Odin and get stock...I'm asking if there's anything special to go from an ics ROM to a GB ROM? BC when I did it I soft bricked, using all the darkside
Wipes.

I have flashed from GB to ICS back and forth a few times never really had an issue like that the only real issue I have ever had was a few apps force closing but a quick wipe of the cache took care of that issue

don't use the CWM flashable zips. if you do you should flash the rom and kernel too? you probably did but sometimes it doesn't work correctly. I would suggest flashing via odin to get to stock then wipe data/factory reset through stock recovery. that is the cleanest method to get to stock. the CWM flashing to zip sometimes leave stuff behind from earlier flashes.
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.

Okay go here -http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote2/SPH-L900- and download these 2 files.
One is a Sprint LJ1 stock rom. (Flash through Odin on PC)
The 2nd is the flashable zip of LJ1 to LJC (do it though TWRP or CWM)
Make sure to make a backup of your apps and data because it does a restore.
There you go

wierd that someone would send you to another site to DL files, files that you can get here with actual instructions on how to use them. (really? ODIN one thing, then CWM another? Just to get stock? smh)
and then for a person to send you to do this without mentioning the HFA errors and Chameloen FCs that you get from reverting to an earlier ROM from the LK8 leak, and how to fix that.

I am including a version of Billard's TWRP, (original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769) to make it easier for you to revert to LJC. What I do, coming from LK8, is the usual prescribed wipes, before flashing any rom, but I also wipe with the new Carrier button under the wipe menu. When you first boot the new rom, it will rebuild the wiped carrier partition automatically and reboot. Once rebooted, the Handsfree Activation will begin, and the Chameleon errors will no longer be a problem.
This recovery is a godsend.
If you want to go back to any other recovery afterwards, just ODIN your chosen recovery, or flash one, whichever format of recovery you downloaded. I usually just download Goo Manager from the Play store, and install the official TWRP from OpenRecovery Script.
This is a recovery zip file you can flash with the recovery you have now.
Hope this helps, and Billard, I could not find a link to your recovery (found it!! Updated to your original link now). If there's a problem with me sharing your recovery, let me know!
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=2472 << chose the one with carrier wipe!
As always, proceed with caution, and I am NOT resposible for any and all problems you may run into.
Thanks so much.

what I did was I flashed the custom recovery by Billard, then I flashed the LJC_Stock_With_Count_Reset[FINAL].zip and that put me in a boot loop. I then booted my phone to download mode and flashed COMBINATION_L900VPALJC_CL434243_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_user.tar.md5. The result was my note 2 back to stock with stock recovery and 4.1.1 ljc! If you were to flash the COMBINATION_L900VPALJC_CL434243_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_user.tar.md5 without first at least installing the custom recovery and wiping the carrier settings I know that the combination tar will fail and you'll be stuck with a kies message. If you follow my steps your phone should also go through with the combination.tar file and put you back to unrooted, stock, ljc. Hope this helps someone.

No all jokes aside is what happens when you revert back to LJC from any of the other builds like LK8 and up. Something breaks which causes hands free activation to start up after every boot and it fails to activate device.

Wipe everything and odin flash the root66 firmware. Start over from full stock rooted, but clean.
Run your nandroid again and write down the error. (Save log to sd).
Seems to me there is some corrupted data getting left behind. I'd format the external sd as well. But at least backup and delete the Android folder. (Contains 2 folders inside, data and obb). You can rename to Android-bak if you prefer. Do this before wiping and flashing root66.

The data error I had too, but on twrp and it's a known thing all over recovery threads for a while now. The error thing happened to me a while back but a root66 fixed that, you should also get the other bug fixed with in the same process.

Mobile Odin isn't hard to use at all. I highly recommend using it in place of cwm and twrp, except for when a nandroid is needed.
As for the cwm touch, have you considered trting twrp? Personally I prefer it over cwm.

There's no reason at all to be nervous about trying a different recovery. Thousands of people have been using it w/o issue. Personally I think they are both really good, I just prefer twrp. Give it a shot, if you don't like it, install cwm.
It shouldn't do anything at all to your current rom. Recovery is on a completely different partition. And you can install w/o flashing. Use goo manager for twrp or rom manager for cwm.
