thanks guys, my doubt has been resolve..
i just thought that it is not possible and will brick the phone since there are different version..
one more question that i am confused, since i am in froyo version and it says on the tut that in XXKPE to flash "twice" before continuing flashing XXKPH, "twice" means flashing again the PDA or all of the file of XXKPE?
All the files except the latona.pit file.

No need for xxkph. XXKPE>factory reset>XXKPQ>factory reset>Ganesh cf root> Poseidon ROM>Wipe then restore apps by TB.
If you have problems. Try flashing XXKPE twice

Xxkpq is 2.3.6. Just flash it as pda in odin and definitely you will loose your all data

Anurag, yes you'll loose your data. You can use mybackup pro for backing up sms, contacts, settings etc and titanium pro for backing up apps.

I have always used HTC phones so don't know the flashing process of samsung and even after seeing many guides i cant understand anything!
I am trying to install TitaniumS v3.2 on his phone based on DDKP3...
He has GINGERBREAD.DDKP2 installed atm...
So I have to flash XXKPE first??
I downloaded everything incl DDKP3...but DDKP3 has only xxxxHOME.tar.md5 and no other file...Guides say i have to use latona and csc and etc..
It is very confusing...please help me out ASAP!!
Yes XXKPE first. XXKPE comes with latona.pit. Here's the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14933114
Then DDKP3 just use PDA in ODIN. Then flash cf root then install the Titanium Rom.

Caution:
When you are running ICS on you mobile do not downgrade directly to GB using ODIN, if you flash any GB ROM (Stock/Custom) using ODIN your mobile will be bricked.
Live example is myself i have bricked my mobile by do this.
TO avoid this first you restore previous backup using CWM and then flash what ever you want using ODIN.
Even Unbrick your Galaxy R. 2. Downgrade bootloader to v2.0 guide wont help you, I have followed it but no use I have successively flashed stock rom by using this method but still no luck ..
I've created this thread to help all our users who are running ICS, Sorry I've haven't see that one more thread is there for this if you think its duplicate please ask Justin to delete it..
Thanks! Have you managed to un-brick your machine?
Actually, flashing thru odin is Samsung things and it will increase the counter. So, almost every time, I will customize the ROM to flash thru normal CWM flash zip process. At least, I am just 'copying' files to /system/ and all operations are controlled by the updater-script

Yes Ardatdat. I do the same thing. For all the Stock ROMs which i flash via odin, i used to make CWM package. I used to do that so that always i dont have to depend on my PC. Not for the baseband, But atleast for the PDA and CSC part.

Thx for the info buddy. Like to know once thing. When u tried to downgrade to GB via odin, what was ur ICS system info. Is it rooted.? Deodexed? Rooted Kernel? Because I feel Kernel is the problem here. The Kernel that came with this ICS is not a safest one. Ardatdat can speak more about it.
Thanks mj...
I was goin to flash stock rom via odin on ics...if ics was to give more prob...

Yes, I would love to, but without the kernel source, I could not do much things. At least, I would not get the kernel src before Samsung provide the official ICS update.
Hoping an image from samsung for this rom and then for ardatdat kernel v 1.8.x from you... Hats off to you man. I am a fan of yours.:thumbup:

You can flash Bam Kernel via Odin. I'm using it. Download the latest fix version and flash it in pda. It has CWM & it will root the device.

Or use the CF-Root for DDLF2 from here. The procedure is same.

Read this post. If you follow it to the end you'll have CM9 (ICS alpha build)
Stop at end of ddlf2 root step and you should have a rooted ddlf2 build.
PLEASE NOTE, you'll lose all your data. Make sure you take a backup or everything that you'll regret losing later.
Make sure you backup all your contacts to your google account.

A big thnx to u bro :victory:
Only just 1 last question
can i also do these steps as I already have a ddlf2 firmware on my GT I9003....
1-Root phone and install cwm.
2-Do full nandroid backup.
3. Select the ROM zip from your SD Card and flash.
4. Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery.
5. After the Recovery restarts, Wipe Data / Factory Reset.
6. Mounts and Storage -> Format dbdata
7. Flash Google Apps.
8. Reboot
Are these steps also correct or I would be messed up..........
Once again thnx N u r a gr8 dev and helpful person.........:good:

2 things.
1st I'm not a dev. I just did a lot of reading here.
2nd I guess you can flash cfroot. But people had issues when they didn't do a clean install. That is why it is preferred.

Okay thanks.
But which firmware have i to download?
I mean is there a diffrence between KPE or KPN? this is the only thing i doesn't udnerstand.
Because i have XXKB1. What happens if i flash to KPE or KPN?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
i looked there for the right firmware but i'm not sure which firmware is correct.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
We usually flash xxkpe for a fresh start. The repartioning does that.
Read up on the procedure for flashing xxkpe, as its one step more than the usual. Once your on xxkpe, flash a proper gingerbread fw of your choice (I suggest ddlf2, xxle4) or other value pack roms.
Download all fw files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
Keep in mind that for older gb roms there are separate files for csc, PDA, phone. But for newer ones there's only one file, to be flashed as PDA.

Okay. So i have to download a "xxkpe" firmware? or can i choose the "XXKPH"?
Xxkpe. But its only because we use it as the base. Once your on xxkpe, you can go on to flash anything you like.
Make sure you read and understand the steps properly. Ask around if you dont understand. Better than bricking.

Nothing special, no need to select latona.pit file and repartition. Flash ddlf2 or xxle4 or other value pack (you'll find them in the stock roms thread) as PDA.
If you mess up in the future, this is what you need to do to get the phone running again (repartition --> xxkpe --> stable gb rom).
