First of all i have 2.3.6,so can i install a jb rom?and how
Second if i dont like a rom how can i install another one?
Thank for your time and help

did you repart your phone?
some guys say that jb is working much better if you flash xxmc8 from gb without doing repart.

There's an option in Odin to repart when flashing

Ok so no i didnt do repartition,
Is there any guude to install a jb rom in gb phone?
And what rom should i put?

I just flashed TMN XXMC8 over GB without repart and using only the PDA file and it's been working ok since then.
The flashing process is not different from any other rom: just download the mc8 rom and flash the PDA file with odin leaving all the default boxes checked.

1. Flashing mean u flash (upgrade or downgrade) ur OS version. Rooting mean u become a superuser for ur phone. If u don't know what is rooting for, u should looking into the forums...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397120
2. Flash to stock rom and unroot ur phone.
3. On stock rom u can backup using KIES. Or native backup from phone. On custom rom u can used CWM to made nandroid backup. ( look into forums )
4. Yes, a risk always.. but as long u follow the step from, it won't hurt ur phone.

If you are a beginner, I suggest not to flash cm9.

I recommend to use stock first, root it and tweak it.

The latest official stock ROM in my country is JB 4.1.2 ..... Am i missing something ??
If you don't use custom rom. No matter just put the latest firmware.
If you enjoy custom you must put a custom kernel and another recovery like pgilz or twrp
Which 4.1.2 build are you running? Anything after dll7 I think should have the fix implemented.

If I install a stock based 4.1.2 rom such as alliance and do not install any special kernel, will I be safe?

It's the build number/version. Can't exactly remember how to check it on Samsung roms, I think you dial something like *#1234# in the dialer.

Try rooting and installing custom rom. It might solve your issue also as it resolve my random restart problems before.
Btw I used android revolution hd v17.
