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?

Just make sure you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed... and be sure to wipe everything before you install... Also, fix permissions after it's installed.
Ok so I don't need to upgrade to stilick gingerbread? And I'm sorry but what do you mean by permissions? Thanks alot

No, not unless you want the new baseband because I've yet to see a easy to apply it without the update. Could be wrong. And that's for you to decide, but the the baseband improved signal and gps response on my phone.

So basically my GF wants a faster phone..and ICBINB KJ6 sounds amazing! Here's the thing..her phone is rooted, Galaxy S 4G, and its running 2.3.6...I've looked at the official thread from Team Acid but the INSTRUCTIONS SEEM TO VAGUE for me..as i am somewhat of an amateur..IF YOU CAN PLZ REPLY WITH SIMPLE CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FLASH ICBINB from 2.3.6..That would be *LOVELY*
Download the rom to SD card. Boot into cwm recovery. Choose install update from SD card. Find icbinb zip file. Install.

Make sure you have USB debugging checked under apps/development, that's one cause for superoneclick freezing if I remember right.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.
Bhundven's One-Clicks in the Dev section are excellent. All are based on KJ6 and two are already rooted.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!

Did you try flashing the stock firmware image using fastboot (a guide for 4.1.1 is here, but applicable for any google image as such)
Once you flash the stock image, you can re-root and try flashing custom ROM's
I fixed it now all I did was unroot then root my phone again. Thanks for all the help and I will use these suggestions next time if this happens. Thank you all again thank you very very much.

I need help im tired of jellybean. Theres too many things not working for me and i want to go back to GingerBread. I try to flash GingerBread roms but it just brings me back to CWM recovery. Is there a way to go back or im stuck on jellybean. I even tried to flash an Icecream Sandwich rom but it just brings me back to CWM recovery. My recovery is 6.0.2.8.
You probably should just one-click to stock and start from there.

I don't think you can downgrade from an mtd ROM if you were using one. I think you will have to return to the stock 2.3.6 first, and then flash another ROM if you would like.

That means you were using an MTD ROM before, so you have to restore to stock. There's an easy way to do with the Heimdall One-Click
OK thanks guys I'll try that and give you feedback
