does anyone know if flashing the leaked ics update will remove clock work mod recovery from my phone? i just flashed it and made a back up of my stock gb rom but i want to be able to flash back to gb if i dont like the leaked ics rom.
Either way you can flash it through Odin in case you lose it after flashing ics. I did flash ics but I can't recall whether it removed cwm recovery or not

If you do the one click ice leak yes it removes it and puts stock recovery on....after ice flash just reflash cwm

You can also just backup your Nandroid backup you made with CWM to a PC, so you can use it later.
Thanks for the help guys. I am now running the leaked ics with cwm and rooted with cwm. And none tripped the flash counter.. thanks again.

the oneclick ics shouldn't even be used at this point in my opinion, too many bugs. Flash ucalc4 and ics through cwm and don't look back

There is no best, it's personal preference. Look through the DEV section and browse the roms. You need to read and then try some and see which works best for your needs

Things I've learned today that you all may or may not know. If you are having any lag issues with this ics update this worked for me. And you must be rooted. First freeze or remove any unused apps att bloatware etc etc. For a list of the ones its safe to remove or freeze search the dev forum. Since my phone is still under warranty for now I just chose to freeze those apps but if you are out of warranty you may just want to remove them which you can do with titanium backup. Now I don't know why but this second thing really made my phone a lot faster. Install apex launcher like I said I don't know why but it did. So try it it just might work for you. Now if I could just figure out the battery drain issue I would be ok. Any ideas on fixes or tweeks for extending battery life on ics???

better battery stats will help u figure out whats draining your battery. Also, i don't know where this "warranty" idea u have came from, but u voided it the second u flashed that ics leak, which hasn't actually been released yet. Also, if u did use the oneclick ics, i high recommend u flash a different ics custombrom through cwm, stock is too buggy. Superlite 5, team perfection, and ics - the real thing are all good choices
Well from what I was told if it didn't trip the flash counter they could not tell if it had been flashed and the flash counter when I got done with everything flashing the update flashing cwm and rooting when done the flash counter said none. It only moves if you flash a custom rom from what I read and been told by others on here. I will try the battery stats app to see what is draining my battery it might just be ics is more battery demanding than gingerbread???? Oh and the third I done to speed up my phone that I left out of my last post was get rid of any and all task killers task managers. My phone is way faster after those three tweaks.. if I'm wrong about the warranty let me know thanks for the advice on battery stats headed to download now....

You don't wanna get rid of the stock task manager, if that's what you did. What exactly do you think you just did? You flashed cwm with odin, you flashed a rom, you flashed a kernel, and you flashed a radio. All custom and not official=warranty void. You can get away with this by flashing the sammobile tar and unrooting, but as of now your warranty, well, you don't have one. I would also advise you read more before you go flashing, deleting and freezing anything else. This is how bricks happen.

From what i understand, De-odexed are just Odex files that are now customizable. which is why Rom makers use them so others can theme them and edit the actuall apks and what not.

Here's a preview build now that my source tree is mostly sorted out: http://www.mediafire.com/?1nhagihfoqqpkf3
To flash, you must first flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
Then boot into recovery, wipe data/cache, go to mounts and storage and format system, then flash the rom. Gapps are here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip . You'll probably have to mount system manually under mounts and storage before flashing gapps.
I've only tested this using gingerbread bootloaders, no idea if it works using froyo bootloaders. If you don't want to deal with the caveats of gb bootloaders, then well, fix it yourself.
what works:
radio (calls/sms/data)
touchscreen
audio
wifi
sensors
hw acceleration
software and hardware video decoding
data usage monitor (for wifi at least)
what doesn't work:
camera/camcorder
bluetooth
anything else is either broken or completely untested.

Ive run every leak that's came out ucalc4 ucld2 and now ucle2 and I've had absolutely no problems. I've flashed cwm touch and rooted all 3. I've did factory data resets inside the UI and in cwm. I've wiped cache dalvick cache and battery stats several times on all 3 leaks. I've flashed different modems and kernels and yes I've even formatted the SD both inside the UI and in cwm and I've had no problems. And yes chainfires brickbug app says my phone is at risk for being bricked. But I had already done all this stuff mentioned before I found out there was even a problem. So if your worried about the brickbug then maybe you should just stay on stock gingerbread. If your scared to take a risk and push things to the very edge then maybe xda isn't for you... we are a group of devs and tech savy people who test and push things to the edge to learn new things and make android phones better. Anytime you flash a rom or recovery image or modem or even root a phone you run the risk of a brick. I know people who have bricked phones with Samsung kies doing a official update. So if bricking scares you that much then just stay stock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
The brickbug happens on ics kernels.
So.. wiping all that stuff from cwm (which seems to be based on gb kernel) is fine.
Do not format from within ics rom!
You may not corrupt your emmc, but its not worth the risk.

My wife's Infuse is currently on stock. She's interested in trying a custom ROM, but my research indicates that there are a lot of tethering problems with current ICS and JB roms for the Infuse. The ability to tether (mobile AP) is vital for us. We pay for the tethering plan on her phone and that is our home internet connection as neither cable nor DSL is available where we live.
Can someone recommend a good "daily driver" Infuse ROM that is stable, lean, with working tethering? ICS would be awesome, but GB would suffice.
The best way to know is to test them. Cm10 latest build has tethering fully working as of latest build.
GB should be the most stable, but JB has been great for me, plus it is amazingly fast.
Look in the OPs for what is working and what is not, and for screenshots, and that should give you a clearer idea.
Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse
I don't tether so I'm not sure which is best for that but might I suggest bigjoe2675's ISET sticky. You'll find great info and links to nearly every Infuse ROM here on XDA I believe. Like andros11 stated research and testing will get you the results you are looking for.
Sent from a de-FUNKt Infuse
If it was my phone, I'd be all for the "download and test until I find one that works right" method. I have a Captivate and I flash new ROMs pretty often. But my wife doesn't want to go through that process. She's had Zeus and CatyRom previously, but had issues with them and just wanted to go back with stock and "quit messing with it."
I have looked through the threads and typically see something like this:
What Works?
Almost everything that works on ICS!
What Doesnt Work?
Same things that dont work on ICS..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That doesn't really tell me much. Trying to research what does and doesn't work in ICS lead me to discover that tethering was one of those things that "doesn't work."
I believe it was written like that since CM10 was really meant for an experienced crowd who should know what worked and what didn't in ICS, but I definitely get you. Scott might want to make that part clearer soon.
Look in Entropy's CM9 for a complete list of what is working and what is not at ICS level.
If none of the issues would mind her daily phone use, then I would say to give CM10 a try and hope she doesn't come back to you later for help
Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse
Make sure to read Bigjoe2675’s ISET page. Going from stock to GB to ICS to JB and maybe back can be a real learning experience. Lots of opportunities to soft brick your phone. I have a lot of experience in doing that.

Emancipation. Everything works and is as close to perfection as you can get. I was on uniporn forever but never tried to tether so I don't know if it works. But it was super stable and my DD for a while. Now I'm on cm10 and loving it.

A lot of things work now I have tried looking for what does and doesnt. I would recommend cm10 whether its paranoid jb or unofficial cm10 jb. CNA seems fine also. I say those ROMs cause they are always updated . And if our moving from stock why not go all they way to jellybean its equal if not better then ICS. Just keep in mind if u goto jellybean u need to flash a ics rom first. Like entropys cm9 . I always flash it twice the first time. Then reboot and flash jelly.. just a habbit for me .Good luck on finding your rom
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I have soft bricked my Captivate more imes than I can remember! I'm a pro at that now and can do it and recover without batting a lash! But soft bricking her phone makes me nervous. I'm trying to do the research but the minor differences leave me a little unsure. I think I would like to put her on CM10.
She is on GB (2.3.6) right now (not rooted and no cwm). I need to flash a kernel from post 2 or 3 of his thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081
Then I can flash Entropy's CM9 from this thread, right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844
How does "firmware" differ from a "rom"?
After that just flash CM10 from this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129
Following all directions closely, making backups of apps, data, efs, etc. That pretty much cover it?
Are bootloaders anything to be concerned with? On the Captivate, you have to have GB bootloaders before you can flash JB. Since she's already on GB, I don't guess that is an issue. I just want to make sure there aren't any caveats like that I might be overlooking.
That would be the right path. Just make to follow each Roms flash instructions and you should be fine.
Not having GB bootloaders on either ICS or JB would leave you with a hard to read rainbow recovery.
If you updated to GB using Kies though, you should already have them.
Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse
I didn't use Kies. After trying some custom roms before, I used the Heimdall one click to get her back to stock 2.3.6.

The only way i know is to flash an ICS rom and see if your recovery is all "rainbow-y" ...honestly I'm not sure except for that way.
My guess would be: if you're not sure if you do and you did not get GB 2.3.6 through Kies you probably do not.
Not having GB bootloaders will not adversely affect your phone operation just boot animations and recovery. It will look like static or rainbow colors. Some peope live with it and are able to navigate through recovery without GB bootloaders as a bad bootloader flash is one of the few ways to bork this phone...not always but it does get a little hairy trying to save it. The bootloader flash itself is not difficult as long as you read up and follow the instructions precisely.

Ok, here's my plan:
1) Backup. Titanium Backup, Contacts, EFS (backup script CWM-EFS_BACKUP.zip), etc.
2) Flash Stock GB (UCLB3 Heimdall - Stock_SGH_I997_UCLB3_Repartition-One-Click.jar).
3) Flash a second time to get GB boot loaders.
4) Flash Entropy512's DD Kernel (SGH_I997 Entropy Test Kernel-One-Click.jar)
5) Flash "Clean Wipe" script (CWM-Clean_Wipe_before_ROM_Flash.zip)
6) Flash Unofficial CM9 (cm-9-20120728-UNOFFICIAL-infuse4g.zip) - twice, wiping cache, dalvik, and formatting System before each flash.
7) If staying on CM9, flash gapps (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip).
8) Flash Unofficial CM10 (cm-10-20120823-UNOFFICIAL-infuse4g.zip) and Inverted GAPPS (inverted GAPPS justinbean8-24.zip)
These are just the main steps. I have a folder for each step with everything downloaded and all of the instructions and links copied from forum posts. Also have some other things downloaded like Samsung drivers, an ICS Heimdall One-Click that was linked to a couple times, an EFS backup script, etc.
The ParanoidAndroid ROM looks really cool, but I think I'll wait until it's sync'd with the 8/23 update of CM10 so I know tethering will work. I may just leave her on CM9 until then, I don't know.
EDIT: I just realized... she's not rooted, so I'll have to do that first thing so I can install TiBu and do a backup of all her apps and data...
Plan looks just fine.
Any snags, you should be able to get help here.
Have read it is ok to re-install apps with Titanium, not a good idea to restore data. Let the ap do that when you run it.

To root, can I install Entropy512's DD Kernel from step 4 first, then flash the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip file I just downloaded? Or should I use a different Kernel?
Okay guys, I have been searching for a comparison between these 2 stock Roms and can't find anything. I have read that the leak is better, but would like to know if anyone has ran both stock and rooted on their phone? If so, what are the differences? I am running the radio and can't tell much of a difference, if any.
If there is a dev that would care to weigh in with any technical differences, that would be great!

It supposed to help with signal reception on the Galaxy S III and may provide better voice quality. No new features!
Is there anything in the firmware that is different or is it basically a radio? I would assume firmware fixes as well, would just like to clarify from someone that knows and is not assuming like me.

I've ran both and have not really noticed a difference speed wise. I did notice that my GPS is fixed from the G7 radio. G7 I couldn't connect on the brightest, cloud free day standing on top of a hill. Now it finds me instantly (again). The only other thing I did notice ( and this may have been fixed in the G7 build is when you are looking at your phone and you hit favorites, it doesn't swap the favorites and contacts tabs like it used too. Other than that, phone quality seems the same.
Okay, here is what I did. I don't have access to a PC so I downloaded the Odin image of the HD build and flashed it via Mobile Odin. I wiped the caches and everything appeared to be okay. I started restoring everything and then gaps started force closing, then the message app started force closing. I figured wipe caches again and reboot. Same problem. Wiped again and fixed permissions, gaps seemed to be okay for the short time that I ran it but messaging still wouldn't work. Tried again, still no luck. Tried restoring with Titanium, installation failed so I uninstalled, but it wouldn't reinstall the app. I had to revert to a nandroid to get everything back running properly.
I have not had very good luck with Mobile Odin Pro. It could very well be user error, but I have yet to get it to work properly. Also, in addition to the force closes, I could not get a very good signal. I thought this is strange because I am on build 7 running the HD radio and it appears to give me the best signal that I have had so far with this phone.

ran 5 tests on this and last radio. Average was PRECISELY same. I also literally did not move the phone an inch.
Will flashing the new modem in odin trip the counter??? Im still on stock and thinking about flashing the HD radio.
I didn't notice any speed difference but I did notice on HD that I get lte in low reception spots where it would go to 3g so it's great for me.

I'm new to the Verizon side of the sgs3 but should I be getting this HD update ota? Been checking for update on about phone for past 3 days and says I'm up to date so it makes me wonder...

The HD is a leak. You will not get it ota. If you want to try it, you will have to flash it.

To get the VRLHD modem head on over to this page.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/
It also contains all the modems available for the phone. There is Odin and CWM flashable formats available.
Flashing via Odin should not trip the flash counter. I really don't know what trips the counter. Mine says 4 but I've done a ton of flashing in the last week.
Just buy a $8 USB JIG to reset the counter or try Triangle Away.

I should point out. The HD update is not a ROM is only a modem upgrade.
@OP,
if you did your TB restore settings under all apps and system data that could be why you're having a buggy device. It's best to only restore Apps + data..and not System data with it after an upgrade like this.
As far as performance of the leaked modem goes,I have not noticed any real difference since coming from the G7 Modem. But still it's always good to have the latest..and supposedly..greatest..
Also when using Mobile Odin pro, it's a good idea to acquire the TAR files instead of the ZIP files to do the flashing. Just saying...lol..

Yeah, I knew not to batch restore. I individually restored the apps without the data to attempt to try and avoid any problems with that. Nothing much to restore data wise anyway, I hardly ever play games. My contacts are the biggest deal. I am currently running G7 base with HD modem and it seems very responsive and stable so far. If I don't see any reports of big gains from the HD base, I intend to stay put for awhile.
