Don't hijack threads next time, make sure you have the appropriate CWR version, make sure you do have CWR. Do not download from a mobile standpoint, always from a computer to lower the chances of corrupted .zip's.

So I've rooted my phone and got a custom kernel on it. How would i install ics on it? Or install clockword recovery on it? Thanks!

Now that you have some confidence in your first success, I'd suggest a bit of time to read the posts in these forums to decide what you are going to flash and how to do it.

What do I do next to install a ics rom?

It depends on which ICS rom you want. I know for a fact that for GB recovery you can flash AOKP and CM9, idk about the other ones

Do I just download it and update it through recovery mode?

restore some backup files using cwm..?
if you dont have any backup when you are in GB stock rom...
use the one click lumins guide...

So could I use someone else's backup and get back to GB without using one click because I was almost certain you need a computer to use one click since I'm on JB.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

you need to one-click. There is no other way back to gb.

Thx I just wanted to make sure I was not missing something
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

is that ROM supported yet or not? I saw plans to do in the first post but then a year left and nothing.

What to do... what to do...

I did not make a nandroid of my stock system (30 lashes with my own strap). Consequently I've been looking for the stock firmware to download. It is apparently only available through hotfile.com and I can't complete a download (been trying all day). Does anyone have stock jellybean for the gt-p5113 that can pm me to make arrangements to share through dropbox or something.
Thanks
Edit: I'm in the USA so I need what seems to be the general version.

Bro its not necessary that you flash original firmware!!!
Go to development section and download a Rom say ripper Rom.
Its good and flash it via cwm recovery!!!
And if you do not have recovery installed than install it.that will take 5 minutes at max
Enjoy.

I realize this is kinda ocd but I'm really upset that I didn't make a nandroid before I flashed cm10.1. Consequently, if I ever need to return my tablet to Samsung I can't revert it to stock. I'm just trying to get a working copy of the firmware (jellybean for gt -p5113 USA version) to have on hand. I'd like to try other roms but I want the ability to revert to stock first.

Bro first flash any Rom,you can download that as file hosting sites for them are good.so you get your device working.
And later when you get stock firmware via hotfile just simply flash that.

Thanks it's working fine with CM 10.1. I'm just being a little crazy about not having the backup and trying all day without getting a download. I suppose it will eventually download if I keep trying. Sorry for the bother. ( and I'm not a bro I'm a grandma LOL)
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app

No reason to start 2 threads on the same topic. Mods will most likely close one of them. Hotfile is as good as it gets. I suggest you check your internet connection. Downloading by phone is not the best way. And if you use a pc then make sure your computer does not go to sleep before the download is finished. Almost all the files in the links I gave are US. Cellular South is Mississippi. Not sure what the XAC region code is.

I'd be happy for them to close both! I feel dumb for even asking. I'm still trying the download... if it fails again I'll try on my PC. Thanks for your help!!!

I'm sure somebody knows an answer to this, but I'm just gonna say it. You need a case.

Way to respect the OP by still making the useless reply and besides don't you think it's a little late for a case?
And do a search
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app

I
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
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 or if you want you could just skip flashing superuser.zip and just flash a custom rom.
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock or custom recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot and you're good to go.

We don't have official 4.1.2 from T-Mobile or Samsung but what we do have is custom roms which are built on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, have you ever flashed a custom rom or are you new to rooting and custom roms?
