Just got my phone today and i rooted it with this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
Now i'm rooted but running the stock rom. I want to get a ICS rom on my phone phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579307 from this link
Now which ICS leak do i flash and is there certain steps i have to take to flash the Rom I've posted above?
Thank you

There is a sticky on this, please try to use the search feature I'm the future.
U need to first flash the uclca4 radio first in cwm, and then follow the instructions in the op for installing that rom, including the kernel instruction. That's it.

Thank you sir, this will really help me. i was just reading over so many threads and i just thought i'll end up bricking the phone. Thank you again

Boot issue

So I decided to try out Paranoid Android R4 and read all the instructions and downloaded all the files provided in the thread. Did the wipes and formatting in the order provided (x3 amount of times) then flashed the rom and the other file provided and rebooted my phone. The problem is that when I boot it it keeps looping the Paranoid Android logo and that's it. I've wiped everything clean multiple times and tried flashing about 3-4 times and still nothing. The thread provided only two zips. The rom and a gapps fix. Perhaps I'm missing a file found elsewhere or something? Thanks in advance.

Flash Dark Side Cache Wipe and see if that helps at all. If u are looking to flash it again then use Dark Side Super Wipe. The Cache Wipe is for if you encounter problems after the flash. I can't remember if it is just to fix fc's or help boot loop but it shouldn't hurt to flash the wipe
Note: I have not used Paranoid Android rom so I am unfamiliar with their flashing procedure / if zips are missing

DO NOT DARK SIDE WIPE ON AOSP OR CM9 ROMS!!!! also you need to read the OP's instructions. Using clock work mod touch by sk8.
Step i did.
Wipe /system
Wipe /data
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik cache
Install rom
Install fixedgapps
Reboot. Let phone sit for a few mins after if loaded.
Reboot phone and done.

I did read the OP's instructions. I state that in the post. I had installed ClockworkMod touch through ROM Manager. I don't know if there's a difference between installing it that way and flashing the one by sk8. I didn't have any touch controls after installing it, though. What's the difference between flashing with CWM Touch and regular CWM anyway?

dont use cwm through rom manager, why u may ask, you are having problems right? if you use sk8's it rules out other issues.
if you dont know how to install it, just go to the link in my sig goto to the download section in that post and everything u need is there

[Q] A bit confused.

Heys,
I've been installing ROM's for a while and I was looking at this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387504
This is the page to download the ROM but it gives me a load of files and I'm not sure how to flash it.
I would ask it in that thread but it doesn't let me as I'm new :3
Thanks

Choose the latest/newest zip file..
Well I assume you know how to flash ROM via Recovery Mode. And well, just reminding if you come from another ROM, you have to do full wipe (wipe data, cache and dalvik cache). Good luck..

Hi ruchir500,
I can help you in installing this custom ROM properly but before that can you tell me - is your handset rooted?
How exactly you flashed this XR650 ROM in your device? I know you followed the same steps as mentioned in the post but if you would provide the exact steps you tried may help me and you to resolve the issue in a better way.

I will suggest three things. The first is that you reflash again.Take note if there is an instruction for you to wipe CACHE and DALVIK CACHE in the ROM. Doing this anyway often helps. Some Devs sometimes omit to mention this in the OP, but it will be in the ROM itself. Sometimes, doing a factory reset or data wipe will remove the bootloop. And secondly try another ROM. Aromatic BUMBLEBEE and Blackpearl are the two best 4.1.1 ROMs after MICROFIRE 3.2.

Wipe Data/Factory Reset. wipe partion cache
Goto Mounts & Storage -> Format /system
Goto Advanced -> Clead Dalvik Cache
Install xr650 zip from SD card

Hi ruchir500,
Here are some steps you must follow while installing any new custom ROM:
Your device is already rooted so you can continue with the following steps:
1) Goto CWM --> install zip from SD card --> select the ROM zip file --> it will start installing the ROM
2) Then --> Wipe data/factory reset --> Wipe cache partition --> then goto --> advanced--> Wipe dalvik cache --> Wipe battery stats
3) Go back--> reboot system now.
Hope this helps. And if doesn't help try:
1) Download Xtreme Rejoice Kernel zip file from here: http://d-h.st/87R, transfer to SD card
2) Install this ROM with the same steps as mentioned above for the ROM installation
If these steps doesn't help, try both the steps without rebooting the system or CWM > after completing both the steps reboot system.
Let me know if this helps.

i use twrp and yes i had wiped data cache and dalvik

put on your sd card the cm11, and wipe data, cache, dalvik, boot and system partition (deleting system and boot partition you will haven't no rom so no system) and re-flash the rom, or go on download mode flash stock rom and re-try.

sorry but i didn't understand what you say because i am not very good with english.
so i wipe data, cacha, dalvik , system and boot?but where is boot?
and what happens if it fails?

Do you speak italian ?
Sorry, "boot" option don't exist, go on recovery Wipe-->Advance wipe and select "Dalvik Cache", "System","Cache" and "Data". when you will delete them you will not have any thing on the phone just the download mode and recovery so you must flash a rom to boot up the phone, select the cm11 and flash it.

it didn't work, appeared a box saying something about superus

Click "don't install" or something like this go back and reboot, wait 5-10 minutes for the first boot. it's not possible that it didn't work, are you sure that you are making the correct steps for install a rom ?
First make the 4 wipe and after go back on the menu e and install the rom.
