Ummm you don't have a question here??? what are you attempting to do?
I would use this one.

I used that one and it wouldn't flash cwm after flashing the boot chain. I just odined back to stock ICS, rooted and unlocked, then flashed cleanrom 5.5.1 same thing lol or you can even flash the stock jellybean ROM floating somewhere around here

It works fine and you can run JB rom over ICS firmware but you don't have all the updates to the 15 or so partitions that you don't see. lol

RPM is really the only partition that we can pull and fllash like that. There are several other partitons that are hidden. Don't even see them when you Odin. There are partitions inside of the main partitions like the ones where IEMI are stored.

I have no clue. Depends what they change. And nobody knows what is tied to what. I always update all the firmware when OS changes or there is a major change such as adding Global. A 400 MB update there is more than just a rom upgrade.

Droidstyle seems to think using the full wipe version fixes some of the the problems. I have noticed a drop in the media scan after flashing the full wipe myself.

Im on ota from the first leak. Then i flashed the scv7 without making a backup. I downloaded an app that allows you to manipulate the radio and now my texting doesnt work. I normally would fxz back but i don't think there is one for the second leak or ota. If i load into stock recovery and reset to factory will that bring it back to stock ot back to scv7 without a launcher like it would if i reset to factory in a custom recovery

Hate to say it man but I think you're hosed. Factory reset will not fix your text issue.
You need to fxz back but you CANNOT as we don't have an ICS fxz.

No. It will only wipe user data, and the radio modifications would either be system or radio.img modifications.

This is exactly what we were warning everyone about - IF YOU WANT TO ROOT AND MOD YOUR PHONE ON ICS, STAY ON THE FIRST LEAK ONLY! There is no safety net fxz for anything higher than leak#1 yet. (Sorry, for the caps lock, but it wasn't directed only at you.)
Can you boot into custom recovery (probably not, from the sound of it)? Not sure what and how bad things are messed up, but you can't re-install the OTA through stock recovery.. I don't suppose you made a system.img before this happened? If you can't get into custom recovery, then your only hopes at this point is to flash something with moto-fastboot in AP Fastboot mode - i.e. system.img and/or radio.img - but, that probably won't help unless they are images from your own phone.
Yea everything works but the text messaging . I actually flashed the multilingual stock thinking it would fix but it didn't.

Yea, like I said man. Unfortunately, we have no way of fixing your issue right now. You need a replacement phone.

This! Leaked is now official...the build number didn't change so there is nothing to gain by taking the OTA.
I understand your point. Even so, if I were to decide to flash back to stock in order to update ota, I am able to just put my phone in odin mode and flash the stock ics Rom over my leaked vrblk3 Rom, correct?

Yes. Depending on which Odin file you flash, it may fully wipe your internal storage (including all your pictures, etc.), so make sure you read before you flash and backup your data accordingly! If you really want the OTA though, why not flash the Odin file for the JB OTA? That is the same thing as going back to stock, you'll just be fully updated already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
Ok, thank you. And as far as using the odin file jelly bean, I new nothing about it. I'm new to this custom stuff and it seems that I need to keep everything up to date manually. If there were automatic updates and what not I'd be more apt to running custom roms.

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.

How do I tell which bootloader I have? Recently I flashed CleanROM 7 from CleanROM 6.0 R2. After finding some glitches I decided to flash back.
Upon going back, now my camera says "Camera Fail" when I try to open it.
I've searched and tried all the recommendations. One that I found suggests trying a previous bootloader.
How would I go about this?

For education purposes, the bootloader is not your problem. There's only two bootloaders to have, unlocked and locked. You need an unlocked bootloader to use custom roms on this device. You want a locked bootloader when you are using a Verizon official, bloated stock rom.
What you want is the modem firmware or just plain "firmware." You can flash in recovery the VRBMB1 firmware zip and see if this helps you. Visually, you'll see a change in Settings/About Phone/Baseband.
I thought that sounded strange. I'll try going back to the previous modem and RPM package and if that helps. Thanks

Yea, Samsung implemented some change in the kernel for VRBMF1 that automatically checks for the trust zone or something to that effect. The trust zone is included with the VRBMF1 firmware so downgrading to a VRBMB1 rom will cause the camera to fail instantly. Basically, Mastamoon and Invisiblek figured out what the issue was and boom, happy community. There are some people who still have issues after this but one less person helps out.

Then go here: http://invisiblek.org/sch-i535/modems/d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip
and the ML1 radio should start downloading... then flash it?
Both of these are good to flash in recovery without any wipes.
