I am s-off and on 2.2 on Verizon Droid incredible, which I got a few days back in india. Not activeted on any Indian carrier yet. Want to install stable ics or jb roms. Kindly tell me how to go ahead and which roms are the best.
Can gb/ics//JB roms be flashed directly from recovery? I have a 2.x something recovery.
Thanks.
Hello there, I will suggest you firstly update to a newer recovery I suggest using goomanager to install twrp its a great touch based recovery. Once u get a newer recovery back everything up a nandroid backup . After I would suggest tinys cm10.1 its the newest android yet running on well any phone lol umm it has its kinks buts its mostly perfect. Umm yea u will be able to flash straight from recovery

I haven't gotten my way entirely around this specific phone when it comes to recoveries and such. My sister owned this phone sometime before me and while she had it, I rooted it and installed a safe recovery. I later flashed CM10 on it, but earlier I flashed a rooted version of the JB leak, and wanted to know what recovery can I use with JB so I can flash other Touchwiz JB roms?

There is an Agat repacked FK23 thread but there are known issues. You can check out that thread in the dev section. There are some other repacks in there as well.
As of right now, the recommendation is using el26 cwm as the go to recovery for flashing anything while on a JB TW build.
So, in short, you'd:
1. odin el26cwm
2. either do a battery pull or long press and hold power+vol up (as normal) to get straight back into recovery (rom will not boot now)
3. Flash the JB TW rom
4. Flash the JB stock recovery.
5. PC odin the JB modem (if you're currently not on one)
If you're going to flash any aosp/aokp builds, those thread OP's have detailed suggested instructions.

Recover Me!
Hello, I recently flashed TWRP onto my V with the toolkit in the sticky thread, however I can no longer install system updates, it just boots into TWRP. Can anybody advise me on what to do next?
Kind Regards.

system updated only work woth stock recovery. i think you can flash the stock recovery, take the update, then go back with twrp
Thanks for your help, but I decided to flash over a custom ROM anyway, which is already updated to 4.0.4 and sense 4.1
You realize there are much better versions of Android beyond 4.0.4 available for the one V don't you? Cm 10.1 is currently at 4.2.2 and the latest fully working PACman rom (v19.3) is at 4.1.2, just to name a couple.

Thanks alot. Just what i wanted
Actually i have just thought about this and it does not include the zip. So this will not do the job.
Stock modules are in the stock nandroid (or ruu) these stock boot.img files fit the stock HTC modules. Modules are restored when a stock nandroid backup is restored
The stock 3.20.401 from Mike's thread is fully stock only in a custom rom install way. Only thing after the rom install that is not stock is the recovery.
So basically ive got to restore a Nandroid backup to do this?
Actually im guessing what you really want, you ask for the latest stock kernel. What's your goal with that ?
A custom rom has in 99% a tweaked kernel. A nandroid backup has stock modules + boot.img
So maybe you can point out what your goal is and i can give you the answer to that
Currently i am on Stock rom which is rooted. I basically want the phone in shape ready to receive any OTA that might come out in the near future. Im keeping root with the voodoo rootkeeper.
Ah oke and you flashed a custom kernel on it ?
Yeah i flashed the Tegra 4 one. Gotta say really good kernel, slightly disliked what it did to the screen though.
The easiest way to go back to full stock (modules + kernel) is indeed to restore the stock nandroid. Then its all stock, flash the stock recovery and you are also able to update official ota's (like upcoming sense 5)
Okay thanks a lot for that. Can't wait for that Sense 5 beauty, tried it on the One and certainly an improvement on the very good Sense 4.
Well i used an old Nandroid i had 3.14 software, factory reset, dalvik, then restored the nandroid. The Nandroid restored well except i was left with the kernel. Good thing is though the OTA still works as there is an update to 3.20
Ahhhh false alarm sorry. Me not thinking straight. -_-
The boot.img doesn't flash its self :L
Lol....solved ?
Yeah everything is good now thanks
Good :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED !
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S2. Rooted it withe hercules tar kernel on Android 2.3. When I upgraded to JB the kernel no longer worked (couldn't root). I tried flashing Cyangoen 10.0 and 9.0 but neither wokred (Waited 20 minutes and nothing). Is there a kernel I need to flash with ODIN?
Also, looking for a good place to learn abot kernels in genral.
Many thanks.

Kernel is causing the problem. Flash only kernel which is made for specific rom/android version. follow this if you want to flash via Odin. I recommend you to install CWM because its easy,safe and time saving.
Installed CWM Recovery, tried to flash Cyanogen 9...now it keeps rebooting back into CWM...can't access the Recovery menu. I downloaded the updated kernel. How do I get it flashed?
I was able to connect via ODIN. Can't get recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules.tar to flash.
restart your computer log back in and use a different USB port and make sure you have all the DRIVERS for the phone plug it in flash the ODIN CWM file then you should flash an ICS ROM then flash JB to avoid any hiccups 2.3.4 is a big jump to JB might be giving you errors and you are rooted correct ?
Thank you. Yes I'm rooted an runnning smoothly with Juggernaut ROM for now. Want to change to Cyanogen 9.0. I'll flash the ODIN CWM file as you recommend. Where can I find a good ICS ROM and JB? Didn't know the jump from 2.3.4 to JB would be so big.
Many thanks.
what do you prefer the more stocky looking approach or you into AOKP/CM if you like stock then anything from PTMR and JAMISON904 are on point and very stable if you want some options and custom stuff look into the CM/AOKP around here in the development forums since you are rooted i would download a nice ICS you wont be on it long so doesnt matter lol and then finally jump ship to JB give it time for the battery to settle in becuase there was nothin like GB as far as the battery life goes this one guy who has amazing work and dedication http://goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener anything on there will do you justice when you get to the JB stage good luck and happy flashing!!
C13Kener DOES have some amazing stuff. Thanks. I see that he has a nice ICS stock ROM (Samsung-Stock-4.1.2-Tiberius-Kernel-1.1.zip). Can I just flash that from recovery or do I need to flash a new kernel via ODIN beforehand? Apprecaite your patience and help.

I think there is some confusion here. A ROM is not the same thing as a kernel.
I think thats where I'm having trouble. I have an older kernel (recovery-cwm-hercules.tar) and need to upgrade it before I can flash an ICS ROM. Don't know where to find kernels for the ROMS I want to flash. I thought some ROMs came with the kernel embedded in their zipfile, but finding thats not the case. ODIN is fairly easy to use, but I don't know where to find the right kernels for ROMs like Cyanogen.

Recovery is a tool used to flash ROMs and do backups.
TWRP and CWM are recoveries.
ROMs are the operating system of the phone. They come with a kernel. The kernel is what boots the phone into the OS. You can flash a different kernel if it matches the type of ROM you are on. I hope that clears up some of the confusion.
I have rooted my gs3 and need help. I am on stock rooted 4.0.4 ics. I want to go to the latest pacman rom. What do I need to do?
Have you installed a recovery?
Download GooManager if you want TWRP or ROM Manager if you want CWM recovery.
Either one will allow you to flash a compatible ROM.
I really like TWRP. User interface is easy. Goo.im app makes it easy to find compatible ROMS to flash for your device. I don't know if PACMAN is on goo, tho.

If you are on stock ics you'll most likely need to update your bootloader after you update your recovery if it isn't updated already.
You'll need to go here

This will need to be done before you flash almost any rom that's been updated in the last couple weeks.
You might be up to date but I doubt it.

Definitely go with TWRP. The user interface is much friendlier than CWM. It is also really good from the standpoint of being careful when wiping or installing things with their "slide to ____" feature.
