I've done this twice but tried to flash an updated kernal via odin and the result ends in a brick. I'm running Octane v2 and was flashing the KJ3 version. I can't remember what I was running before, but did the same thing as well. What gives?
Hard to say without more detail. You said you were trying to flash a kernel on top of Octane but, to my knowledge, no one has put a KJ3 kernel out there. You may be flashing a new ROM vs a kernel.
If you are trying to flash a new ROM (KJ3 in this case) to replace Octane, then you need to insure you don't have voodoo enabled when flashing a stock ROM as stock ROMs cannot read the ext4 filesystem.
If you've already flashed a stock KJ3 ROM, download drhonk's KJ1 kernel with root/cwm/voodoo, flash it via ODIN, let the phone boot, reboot into recovery, disable all voodoo, reboot the phone, then you should be in a good place to flash whatever GB ROM you want.
I meant KJ1 kernel. I already had octane flashed but flashing the kernel via Odin, it bricks. I don't want to flash thru cwm for fear of the same

Interesting. When you say it bricks, what exactly happens?

I get no response from the screen, power button, or touch keys. It wont even respond to my JIG. It'll respond to the pc when I have odin open to let me know it's connected, but other than that, almost like a dead rock. When I odin it, It will flash with just the blue status bar.
If you're using Odin, could it be that you're flashing the kernel in the wrong slot?
It could also be a bad download.
I just flashed Octane v2.X two days ago, and I flashed the KI3 kernel through CWM. Everything worked fine for me.

Ok folks, here's the NANDROID backup I made of the stock Rogers ICS firmware:

It is from a fresh boot and non-rooted.

Nicely done!
awesome, can't wait to get home! The connection speed at work is terrible.
I'm going to set this up and see if I like it better than CM9, I really doubt it but I've got to try!
Well done sir

so basically I'll just nandroid my CM9 ROM, reboot to recovery, flash Rogers ICS, flash superuser.zip and reboot, correct?
the firmware is also available on sammobile.com

Just out of curiosity, does this flash the modem as well? I seem to be "stuck" with ULCE2, even after using ODIN to go back to stock Rogers ROM.

Nope. No modem. Just flash another if you don't like LE2. And the experience won't change. You'll never prefer stock over CM9. I already know what to expect. This is great for developing but i see no point in downloading just to try it out. You'll be disappointed.

The ODIN tar does have the modem, I just can't give you a CWM flashable zip file at this time.
You can flash the ODIN tar though.
Anybody tried to flash on the skyrocket?
So, im currently running CM9 and I have done teh following trying to flash the rom in the OP
-made Nand backup
-wipe (data, cache, dalvik)
-format system

I just flashed the stock Rogers in ODIN. It does not have the modem. My phone is still showing UCLE2 in the system information. Unless I'm doing something incorrectly...
For the record, I'm referring to the old Rogers stock tar. I'll try the one for this new update and see what happens.

You need to wipe all of the folders in CWM including /system and clear all caches in CWM before flashing the ODIN file if you want the modem to take. It's weird like that.

Thanks for the info. I just flashed the tar for the new Rogers stock and it looks like it wrote the modem
I asked this in dev section with no answers.. Is this release form Rogers based on a new kernal or the same old one as Sky ICS was based on?
Since upgrading to JB 4.1.2, I am not able to downgrade to ICS. After the flashing ICS via odin or for that matter mobile odin, is complete, it goes into a boot loop. Only way way out was again flash Jelly bean, it worked. Is there any firmware with full components like pda separate file, CSC separate file and phone separate file? I have heard that we need to flash these separate files via odin to downgrade. can anybody give a download link for the same?
Do you have a CWM back-up from a previous ROM?

you must go to stock ricovery ( with power + volum up ) and then wipe data
( your data are remove ( factory riset )
sorry for my bad ENGLISH
But I have heard that if one wipes factory reset through stock recovery, I am afraid one is liable to get bricked devices.

I would research the factory reset option. It shouldn't brick your device.

Just to make it clear.. wiping from stock is Safe IF you are in HC or JB ( someone said its safe ) but a big NO in ICS because it causes the tab to be bricked.. wiping from CWM on all roms is SAFE.. pls.. get your facts right..

If you want to downgrade from official JB to official ICS, you have to have .pit file
You can search pit file for P6200 in XDA and using odin to flash official ICS with option re-partition checked
First time, when my friend downgrade without .pit file, tab got stuck at SS logo even wipe everything fully. With .pit file, it succeeded

i usually do encounter this on my 7.7 when i flash hc from ics...what i did was wipe the device using cwm after flashing the older firmware to fix the bootloop...
my friend have tab 7 plus and i'm planning to flash jb on it...is the stock JB recovery free from the brickbug?

Did you check option re-partition in Odin?
By the way, stuck at SS logo is quite often happened if you did not wipe. You should try to perform full wipe.
There is an issue related to wipe using ICS stock recovery, you should use Odin to flash CWM recovery (without .pit file) and use CWM recovery to wipe.

when you are stuck in bootloop flash cwm recovery and do a full wipe..that will fix it...avoid full reset using stock recovery to prevent brickbug
I tried doing some research but with no luck. I wanted to ask if there is a way to flash a completely stock ROM I download straight from the Samsung site using maybe CWM or Odin. And how would I go on to have it rooted? I've just been having issues even with the stock debloated ROM available so I want to give this a try. Thanks in advance for any feedback and help

So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here

Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here

This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware

The only thing I will add here is that you don't need the .pit file (it also eliminates the chance of accidental re-partition). Just use the .tar.md5 file as the pda and flash. Also, there isn't any chance of boot looping when flashing the file from the samfirmware site. First boot will take up to 10 minutes.

The PIT I wasn't sure if it was needed or not so I always used it just in case and actually I waited patiently and my phone did bootloop.

Not for ICS you don't. In fact, you only need the .pit for flashing CWM.
For rooting GB 2.3.x then you need the pit.

I've been on Carbon 1.8 for some time (AOKP and CM10 before that) and wanted to go back to stock rooted TouchWiz for a while. So I downloaded the de-odexed rooted Stock VRBF1 from Scotts ROMs.
I flashed this from TWRP 2.5.0.0 and the phone would not boot beyond the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen. This was a clean flash, I factory reset the phone and also manually cleaned the dalvik, cache, system and data from advanced wipe options.
I tried this again about twice with the same result.
I then tried a Stock VRALG7 zip that I had on my computer with the same result.
Finally, I gave up and decided to flash Carbon again, and the exact same thing happened - The phone won't boot beyond the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen.
I can access Recovery just fine and even connect via adb. One thing I noticed was that when I am in TWRP and explore the files, /system is empty and has only one folder (bin)
At this point my phone is pretty much dead in the water and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks !!

Use Odin to flash the stock tar then reroot. There's a no-wipe stock rom thread in the dev section that has a few stock images. If you have issues flashing those images then I firmly suggest using a tar that wipes /sdcard. You can download those on Samsung Update website for our phone model (SCH-I535).

They might have some as well, I'm mobile and at work so I can't check for you. Make sure the tar specifically states it's for "d2vzw" or SCH-I535. If someone else can help out please do. I know there are firmware on "Samsung Updates" website but I haven't looked on Sammobile before. Better yet, post the file name once it's downloaded.
