Some people have requested this, this is Gingerbread KF2 Deodexed + Root and odin flashable.

The messed up Rainbow at boot is normal if using Froyo BootLoaders just wait it will boot.
Below File contains no BOOTLOADERS

Thanks.

Nice up man

If I apply this (without manually doing a factory reset along the way), will I retain all of my apps and app data through this process?
I know I've used ODIN to update to the current stock release and used ODIN on my Vibrant and didn't lose my apps and app data.
Yes, there was some people in another thread that said you ALWAYS lose data when you update. I know they are wrong, but not sure what the case is with this particular update.
Does that fact that it's deodexed make it less likely that the data will be retained?

just flashed and waited 15 minutes on the rainbow screen, flashed again,same thing. how long does it take to boot the first time?

This will erase all apps, you need to use titanium backup first if you want to save that stuff.

Do I place in pda or phone in odin

try hitting the power button quickly it should loop once then work.
which bootloaders are you on?

froyo bootloaders. will try it again.....
K. running smooth now,will test more tommorrow.
I see the wifi signal is weak,as with the previous rom

Strangely enough I have the froyo bootloaders, flashed this, got an upgrade failure to which got me to that annoying ass screen rom upgrade failed, so I tried it again, it was successful, but oddly not only did I not get the rainbow screen but I booted with all my apps and everything intact but confirm that I am now at 2.3.3 by su binary had gotten downgraded to 2 from the ,3 beta I had had and I was coming from the KD1 rom.... Anyway strange I know....

What were you running prior to this flash?
If you are having troubles with this flash please give more info, what rom did you have before, what bootloaders are you using? Any info helps so that I can narrow down any issues and fix them.
Thanks.

had the fully stock gb rom that shipped with the phone. i was able to flash with no problems, just cant get it to connect to the network just keeps saying searching, wifi calling and txting work just fine.
-edit
oh right after i did the flash, i did do sgs unlock pro app. not sure if that would of caused any problems but it looks like my IMEI is showing up as .[]x[]~ ".[]x[]~

I was having issues with this version and getting stuck on samsung screen a whole lot; and i'm talking about i started clean with KC1 full with .pit>whitehawkxKD1+root>then this rom.
tried the other route and odined back to KD1>boot into cwm>checked mount and flashed the cwm version. worked flawlessly; except the rainbow, ofcourse.
my recommendations are quiet obvious

Freeze during calls

Starting yesterday my phone started freezeing during calls. I pull the phone away from my face during a call and after the screen comes back on I can't press any buttons or end the call. I have to end up pulling the battery to reset it. Everything else is working fine. Anyone have any idea what the world is going on here?

More info would help. Are you running stock or a specific ROM?

I had this problem while running stock deodexed roms. I switched to just the leaked roms and it took care of the problem.

Try doing a factory reset.

Tried factory reset, tried gtg's ultimate unbrick to go back to froyo and nothing. Also tried rooting and installing cyanogenmod but my phone kept booting i to android recovery mode instead of clockwork recovery for some reason
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

my friend has the same issue fixed by:
Wiping Data and doing a complete factory reset.

For the very first time I noticed this today. I think this has something to do with some random app we installed. Mine hung today even on incoming calls. A reboot fixed though.

For those with home button issues after ICS .exe

I used the DesignGears .exe with no issues on my phone. I then went to do it on my sister's phone and the home button did not work after booting into ICS. Here is what I did to fix it:
1. Odin back to 2.3.5 stock.
2. Root with super one click 2.3.3
3. Put phone in download mode
4. Run DesignGear's exe
Ymmv but it worked for me.

Or you can just do a factory rest from the settings menu....

Off topic question, did you have to be on stock rom, to Odin the ICS leak?

What I did was flash stock recovery over cwm, unrooted with superoneclick which is how I originally rooted my phone. I than master reset phone, went into recovery and flashed DesignGears.exe. I than master reset again with no issues and all is working flawless

Ok, but if you're rooted with STOCK rom, can't you just flash through CWM? But I'm on rogers, so I'll have to wait anyway?

Find the stock .tar file in root/unroot development section (unbricking)...just flash it using odin 1.85 and go from there.

So your saying the stock At&t tar, or do you mean the stock rogers... Because I am thinking that I have that in CWM, from when I did the first nandroid backup after I rooted my phone?

Darkside Super Wipe approach. Worked for me!
I used Darkside Super Wipe .zip, which I usually use before flashing ROMs. I heard before, that the CWM Recovery for the Skyrocket has a hardtime fully wiping some files, so I got in the habit of using this DS SuperWipe script, it wipes everything. After this all was working fine Home button, and all.
Please read the linked tread before using, I am not responsible for any problems, I am only providing my method of how I successfully Flashed ICS build to my Skyrocket, now on 4.0.3 kernel.
This will wipe everything so BACKUP FIRST!
I wiped with Darkside.super.wipe.ext4.zip
I opened the OneClick ICS.exe Odin file
Plugged Phone in, then went into download mode
hit start in Odin
After rebooting and setting up Phone I:
rebooted back into download mode
flashed SKyrocketCWMrecovery in Odin
unplugged the phone
rebooted into CWM recovery
installed SuperUser.zip
wiped Dalvike Cache
Fixed Permissions
rebooted
My next steps were to restore:
I started with restoring my internal SD card, which I saved to my PC
Downloaded Titanium Backup from the Play Store
Used Titanium Backup to restore the rest of my apps
Rebooted back into CWM recovery, maybe overkill
Wiped Dalvik Cache, maybe overkill
Fixed Permissions, maybe overkill
rebooted
Like I mentioned, the last part, about wipeing Dalvik Cache and Fixinf Permissions might be over kill. I wanted to do it all, now, and try to start clean it all worked out great for me. I started on Silvers SkyIceCream Rom with Fauxs Kernel10u and the UCLA3 radio. So as you can see I was not stock nor did I revert back to anything stock. Running the Super wipe script takes 1 minute, then just reboot into download mode, easy.
Hope this helps somebody, I only linked the Wipe file because all the other files have already been thrown around here in the last 24hr. No need for me to be redundant, or enabling.

I didn't unroot my phone. I just did factory reset of 2.3.6, flashed ICS, and everything works (home button, search, shutdown and restart)

Yeah, this does the trick fine.

do i have to go back to 2.3.5 stock first or can i just go to cwm recovery and use darkside wipe and then run ics odin?

Factory data reset worked for me. After setting everything up again plants vs zombies froze my phone up so I pulled battery. And it broke my home button again. Had to factory data reset twice to fix it.
Another problem I had was this morning my clock said 11:30 pm when it was 6am and wouldnt auto update with carrier settings. I had to manually set the time. Just wierd. So I reflashed via the original leak and still had the same problem. Anyone else?

I had a time issue until I unchecked auto set time zone, changed time zone, and rechecked time zone. So my time was accurate but not the right time zone.
I also had home button issue before and just did a factory reset and wiped cache. In fact, I had several problems after initial flash - videos would not play, everything was dog slow. At any rate, the factory reset fixed the home button, video is smooth, everything appears perfect.
Next step: Take the plunge with CM9

IMEI issue Totally Lost! HellyBean

I flashed over the new HellyBean rom successfully after hours of work and hardship. It was a lot of trial and error till I finally fixed it. Now the only issue is an IMEI issue. I have checked out a few other guides....... long story short I'm lost and need help. Also something weird a few minutes ago when my phone was sitting locked doing nothing I got a bunch of texts and then I tried to make a call. Didn't work and all phone service is gone again. What should I do?

Are your apn settings okay?.... Is your imei restored to original now?

Flash Odin Gingerbread stock.
After that do the CWM and flash your ROM.
It happens to me when I repartition it will wipe everything.

Try to reset your apn settings and if that doesn't work then you might have to use odin to flash back to stock.

S3 madness: will a reprovision fix this? No wifi and systems change every tim

I have a stock/rooted GS3 4.1.1
This a.m, I came out and checked the weather on my phone (just looked at the lockscreen), and then swiped it to get to my home screen. After a minute or so (I hadn't done anything else... no apps or anything) it rebooted on its own... and got stuck in a boot loop.
I popped the battery out, put it back in, and it booted up normally... except I no longer have wifi AND it is unchecking my "stay awake" box everytime I reboot.
I hadn't done anything to change the phone which has been working very well for the past few weeks... my wife's S3 has wifi with no problem. We have no problem with a computer on wifi.
I've reset the router. And now I'm out of ideas.
Will a reprovision work? Will it take me back to 4.1.1 or do I have to go back to 4.0.4 and rebuild it back to 4.1.1?
Any other ideas?

I haven't. As a relative newby, by "reflashing the kernel" are you referring to reflashing the modem? All I've got is the OTA stock ROM, that I've rooted.
Is there something I should add to that?

The think of the kernel as something that helps the hardware communicate with the software. Try flashing the radio. If that doesn't work, back up and then use one of the one-click tars for the stock image. If thaaat doesn't work you may have faulty phone.

Didn't work.
I ran the tar file... which has the self-loading odin... and it really didn't change anything. Still no wifi.
I ran stock.vzw_root66.tar and it's stuck in a boot loop.

Try a repovision but make sure you flash the ICS boot chain before you go back to the ICS image. Hope it works! Sorry you're having issues.

Thanks for all your effort... I actually fixed it by booting into recovery, doing a full wipe, and then rebooting... got me back into 4.0.4 which got my wireless back... and then I did the OTA's from Verizon so now I'm back at 4.1.1.
Up and running... it's all good... so again, thanks for helping me out.
