I am having to ordin with pit, to unbrick my infuse again. I'll be starting from stock GB rooted with gingerbread boot loader. What ICS Rom do I need to flash to keep my imei and provide a stable stepping stone to flash slim bean 2.6, or 2.7 so I won't lose my imei and have to go backwards again?
Thanks mike

You should be able to use any of the ICS ROMs. Use CM9, then follow the OP instructions for Slim Bean.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874000
Instructions at Slim Bean state:
Upgrading Slim Bean
Just wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash files in order (Device file first, then Slim Gapps) unless I specify in the changelog
From Froyo/GB Rom to SlimBean
Get yourself booted with cm9 or cm10. then follow the steps "From another JB or ICS ROM"
I remember mg saying that a small % of people lost imei regardless of following instructions exactly or not. Also someone said somewhere that flashing cm10 restored there imei.
of course I've also been jacked up on pain medication this week so I could be wrong. But I'm 95% sure I didn't hallucinate those statements.

Dear Sir
I am new to this forum.I have rooted my SGSII & install ICS 4.0.4.Then i installed aokp jelly bean, slimTW 5 jelly bean & now i am using slim thunderTW5.while installing slim thunderTW5, as per instruction i first flash slim thunderTW5 rom, then google application & siyah kernel.
Now it is working fine with no issue.
My question is if i want to try other rom (eg. cm rom or again aokp or slim TW5 jelly bean or any rom), do i have to simply follow flashing instruction as provided or flash new kernel.
Can i flash any rom with this kernel ?([email protected]#49)
Earlier in ics 4.0.4, aokp jelly bean, slimTW5 jelly bean i did not require to flash any new kernel.
Sorry for bad english
Thank you in advance.

Most new rooms come with a kernel ready for flashing. I have personally used siyah for most of the rooms I have ever tried with my SII as I rally like the speed features and battery life and regardless of the from you are using you can flash any kerenl as long as it matches the O.S. i.e. JB or ICS etc

You can always try any ROM by itself and see if it boots & how you like it. Then you can go back to recovery & flash your kernel afterwards. As long as you have a nandroid backup, try flashing stuff & see how it works. If you can't get it working again, just restore your nandroid.
flashin kernel
got it
ya nandroid backup is good idea before flashing any new rom

so im now trying to flash liquid jb to my friends samsung infuse. i am familiar with flashing the tmobile gs2 as i have one. can i just load cwm onto the infuse 4g and load the zip file for the rom through cwm just like i do for the tmobile gs2? if not how do i flash a rom. i have been reading the sticky in the q/a section but find it pretty confusing.
The process is the same. If the Infuse is on GB, you have to go to ICS, then to JB.
Most of the threads for the ROMs have detailed instructions. Cwm is the same but follow the instructions in the op of the ROM you are using.

The easiest way, is to use qkster one click. It will flash stock. Then you do it again with gingerbread boot loaders (if it needs them)
Link
Then in his thread you download entropys cwm one click flash. Then you flash cm9 then cm10
Cm7 is the smoothest and fastest. But doesn't have all the features. (Flash first and only if this is what you want)
Cm9 has a ton of features but is slow. Cm10 is just right. Especially 4.2 it doesn't have all of cm features yet due to 4.2 being new.
This method will not wipe pictures or music. But always back up to be safe.

Hi all, first post here.
I'm new to rooting and flashing and got my GS3 rooted and unlocked. Before I start flashing ROMs and trying out kernels with them I want to know if there is the stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 (un touched OTA) ROM and the appropriate kernel. The only stock ROMs I'm finding are ones that are altered or outdated.
Recap: 100% untouched 4.1.1 ROM and kernel, also Touchwiz launcher if it has changed going to Jelly Bean.
No one knows?

Section 5 of Droidstyle quite awesome guide:
You would flash this using Odin to return to stock, unrooted VRBLK3 4.1.1. It will format your internal sdcard and re-lock your bootloader. This includes the modem, kernel, and original Verizon bloatware. Whatever customizations you intend to install will be completely removed.
Or are you asking for a rooted version of the VRBLK3 rom? In which case, flash the rooted VRBLK3 version using CWM or TWRP recovery.
That's what I was looking for. I just want to have the stock setup on hand in case I need to put it back.
Is there a file location that has the kernel and rom separated rather than one file?
Thank you.

I just updated my infuse to gingerbread yesterday and i just wanted to know is it safe to flash jelly bean without ics??
You have to flash ICS in order to get to Jelly Bean. I think it has to do with getting the blue CWM, or a part of it.

Yup as stated above. Have to flash ICS the BOOT into it. Then go back to recovery and flash JB. Make sure you get the right gapps package also. I made the mistake of grabbing the wrong one. Had to reflash the correct one.

Even when I read that I didn't have to, I had to. I wasn't able to just flash the ICS kernel. I actually had to make sure an ICS ROM was up and running completely 3 different times before the JB upgrade took fully. JB is just a completely different animal.

Funny but the thread that was right above this when I looked is the one you should read.

you can get to jelly bean without ics from gb . do all ur wiping processes of course. then flash jellybean zip of your choice it will hang on kernel screen. pull battery then three button back to cwm it should be blue now. reflash jelly bean rom again and there ya go.

official ICS 4.0.4 i haven't installed anything yet and the phone is rooted
I would recommend flashing one of the many awesome Jelly Bean 4.2.2 options. Sons of Android, Slim Bean and CM 10.1 (though I heard some murmurings that there were MMS difficulties for some people on the recent nightlies) are all fantastic options. Besides being super fast and customizable, they are receiving updates all the time to improve stability and add new features. If you prefer more stock software there is an official Jelly Bean ROM from our Northern Neighbor the i7272R up in Canada, eh.
Hope that helps.
EDIT: I'm sure there are other fantastic options out there, but Sons of Android, CM and Slim Bean (onlychevys' build) are the three options that I have used extensively.
I would recommend you do a factory reset in recovery. BUT, backup all your apps and settings first. I'm guessing you're not rooted so that could be a problem. I recommend titanium backup but you need to be rooted.
