Hey Guys,
I know there are several posts out there that exist which ponder upon how exactly to root the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, but majority of the threads reference to Gingerbread, and not the ICS. I previously owned a MyTouch 4G, and had rooted it, and had upgraded to this phone few months ago, as it was on a nice sale, and I would like to install CM10 on it once again. I am not familiar with the instructions as to rooting this device either, as I am completely lost.
Can someone please provide me a step by step instruction for rooting this phone so I can install ROMs? I would really appreciate it, and would love to contribute back by creating my own (updated) how-to for rooting this device.
As for specifics, this device is running Android Version 4.0.4.
Thanks!
This is the guide you need for ics:

Let me know if you have questions. First and foremost, get rid of kies on your computer, kill it with fire. Then plug in that Blaze so drivers download. Then start the guide.

Thanks for the reply!
I got all the way upto Step 3, where Odin had given me the green box. When I reach to Step 4, it mentions to go on the ADB command, what exactly am I supposed to do? Can you happen to make that entire step more noob-friendly?
Additionally, how would I flash the SuperUser zip file? I am assuming I would run this through ClockWorkMod?
Sorry for all these silly questions!

No, don't worry about adb, use the other method to get into recovery. Holding the volume and power buttons. Hold all three (volume up/down, power) slow count to ten, let go of the power button (keep holding the volumes) and keep holding until you get into recovery! Then once there, go to install zip, select superuser zip, flash! Rooted bro.
Some words for you. I think you'll be able to find cm10 "stable", it's not the one you want. Look through the last few pages of the cm10 thread to find the best one. Last I checked @thomas.raines 4.1.2 (cm10) version of ParanoidAndroid is available to flash, it's super stable, and super awesome. If you go above 4.1.2, there are small bugs (do a bit of reading in the op's of those ROMs), a side effect of a great piece of hardware being left behind by Samsung. If you want to go above 4.1.2, you'll need to update your recovery. Read through the development forum, that thread is in there. Any questions, feel free to ask! Happy to have another active member!

You mentioned about CM10 by a different dev. Is the CM10 ROM offered throuh CM's site itself (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=t769) good enough? I was intending to download the most stable ROM offered.
Thanks for the great support!

The ParanoidAndroid build is my personal opinion. The "stable" CM10 isn't that stable (I only know this by reading through the development thread for that rom). If you're dead-set on using Cyanogen the stable build isn't great (again from what I read) and there's a much better build somewhere in the development thread. The ParanoidAndroid I mentioned is CM based (very similar) and, imo, a better rom. But it's your choice, don't let me sway you. Try them both and see which one you prefer, really. But I do know the stable one posted isn't the one you want. And FYI, CM10 = 4.1.2.

Haha, should of taken your word on that earlier. I installed the ROM, re-backed up everything, till I find out the Camera has that "No External Storage Message"... I will have to check out that ParanoidAndroid ROM. Thanks for the help, look's like I am on my way to rocking a rooted Android once again!
Quick question, I couldn't find a link to the official CM10 based ROM you had mentioned, can you possibly provide the link?
If best, what is the most stable ROM available for this device? I would prefer to avoid experimenting as I am in school and don't have enough time to do so

I'm sorry man, I just realized that the version available for PA isn't what I said. That's my bad. I'll chat with @thomas.raines and see if he can provide a link or something. I'll get back to you on that one.
As far as other stable ROMs, this is AOKP, it was the first rom I Flashed after I rooted, so it has a special place in my heart. I checked the rom link, it's good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989825
I haven't ran it in a long while, but I remember it being stable and fast.
This is Liquidsmooth, another I ran that was also stable. I don't remember much about it but I saw that I had it in my signature for a little bit. I won't stay with a rom if it's not stable, so since it was in a sig, it must have been good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284763
Try these two and see what you think. If you don't like em, I'll figure something out with thomas and see if I can't get PA back up.
This is a VERY slim gapps package. I'm running it right now on my phone and my Tab. When I say slim, I mean it has Play store and all syncing abilities. That's it. No Search, Gmail, Hangouts, etc. If you want something with all the Google goodies, look around. I'm not one to run gapps with a bunch of Google stuff so I don't know where to look for an updated 4.1.2 package.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240652
So, experiment. Have fun. And if you need speakerphone, scanning camera, then you want to stay at 4.1.2. If those things aren't important, look into the kitkat ROMs, they're excellent. If you decide to go kitkat, you MUST update your recovery.

Thanks for the links, I will install both! You mentioned you install the slimest possible GAPPS, why is that, if I may ask?
EDIT: I reflashed the AOKP ROM, no luck. I am going to flash the other Liquid Smooth ROM and see what happens.
Sorry for the double post again, but I went ahead and installed the AOKP ROM you had posted.
When I go through CWM, it picks up my SD card that I am using, but for some reason, when I have the phone booted up, I go to my camera and get an error that reads similar to what I was getting with the original CM10 which is "No external storage available". Any ideas on how to fix this? I did hit to mount my sdcard on CWM, but no luck. Did reboots and what not, still no luck.
Hmm... In the camera settings, is there an option to change the directory of where a picture saves? Or, and you should check this first, open a file Explorer and go to your ext sd card. Do you have a folder named DCIM?
I don't like all the Google Apps mainly because they cause a ton of wakelocks and I don't ever use them. I use Chrome, but DL'ing that from the Play store asked me to Greenify it, keeping it under control.

Alright, so here's what I'm thinking. The stock cameras (if I remember) don't have the option to save to external storage. It was this limitation that made me use a different camera app. So, go to Play Store and get Camera JB+, it has an option to save to external SD card. Find the option (long press the screen, go to settings) change it to external and see if that helps. Or, go into stock camera and see if it has that option. Same with the browser, within settings somewhere there should be an option to change storage location.
If none of that works, my last suggestion is to format both internal and external in recovery. Of course this deletes everything, so transfer all files you want to keep to a computer then format both. Reflash rom on clean install (format cache, dalvik, data, and system) then Reflash everything.
In fact, what did you format/wipe before you Flashed the rom and gapps? This is important and might be the issue...

I originally was running ICS Stock, after that I flashed to CM10. After that, it was AOKP 4.2.1, and now it is Liquid Smooth's 4.2.1. When I plug my phone into the computer, I cannot access the internal memory card either (just noticed this).
SO... I have fixed the issues!
I found the Stock ROM, flashed that, and suddenly my Camera worked again. After that, I decided to reflash AOKP, and now everything works fluidly! I can't tell what exactly the problem was, but it looks like I have resolved the issues.
Thanks a lot for your help! I look forward to learning more and contributing to the community!

That's excellent! Glad it worked out. Just a question, before you flashed AOKP, did you do any formatting or wiping in recovery?

I have not done it, but I will try to explain how I understand it working. Basically you are unpacking a rom onto your SD card and then booting into CWM and flashing a script. The script tells the phone to boot the rom on the SD card. So you will boot into EL30, which is the rom on the SD card. You can do whatever you want to accomplish within EL30, and when you are done you simply reboot your phone. Your phone will boot normally into whatever rom it was running before you did anything, because the only way to boot into the EL30 rom on your SD card is by flashing the script in CWM.
So basically, its a rom that sits on your SD card and is never ever used unless you flash the "boot_EL30.zip" script in CWM, and even then it only boots into it once. As soon as you reboot you are back into CM7 or whatever other rom you are running.
With epic-scale gratitude to you for this wtogami!

I'm asking this purely out of being curious, but reading the information over on CM7 it says not to mount the SD Card.
Theoretically what would happen if you were to mount the SD Card while running this?

Well, since the entire rom and kernel are read from your SD card, and the SD is automatically unmounted from the phone in order to mount as USB storage... remember the warning about apps on the phone being unable to access the sd card while it is usb-mounted? It would be like suddenly disconnecting the hdd containing your windows installation while the computer is on (maybe not exactly the same, but hopefully you see the conflict that would arise?)

**this was a very early guide and most of the files and methods referenced in it are long outdated, sounds crazy I know as the phone has barely been out, but i recommend finding more recent guides at this point. I wanted to leave this up for archival reasons though. As of 7-22 I am running dhackers CM10 build with great results. Just don't forget to set max cpu clock back down to 1500 mhz if you don't want it over locked out of the box **
As per the usual disclaimer....at your own risk, be aware of IMEI loss issues and whatnot...basically cover your own butt.....and enjoy.....
7-15 2:46pm **As of right now voice and SMS are not working on my phone while other people report they are working fine. While you can still play around and see just how amazingly fast CM is on this phone, YMMV. If it doesn't work you need to know how to go back to stock before trying this.
7-29 this guide is very old, it pre-dates kexec and is only here for historical purposes
For clarification: The question was asked if one is supposed to follow the original Team Epic Kexec kernel instructions or these steps and the answer is two fold. If your goal is to install the UNOFFICIAL CM9 built by Invisiblek (which is the purpose of this thread), then you follow the steps in THIS THREAD ONLY. There are a couple steps and a couple files linked to in the original Kexec page that will not allow you to install CM9. That page was made for those wanting to try out their Kexec Proof of Concept KERNEL, not install a ROM of any kind.
This thread makes some assumptions, such as you already have a working install of the Android SDK and ADB, you already have the drivers installed, you are using the original USB cable that came with your phone, you know how to move around DOS to get to the directory where you downloaded the files, etc.......those lower level tasks are for another thread.
To Try Our Proof-of-Concept Kernel <<<The base of these instructions was the Team Epic Kexec Kernel page seen at this link, Many Thanks to them
Thanks to Invisiblek for clarifying and helping me get steps just right.
The following is an adaptation of the CM Kexec kernel proof of concept with the changes in files and steps necessary to load the latest CM9 work in progress. Be advised I take no credit at all. This is the work of Team Epic and Invisiblek. I just put this together for myself and for others who would like to try it with one caveat. DATA doesn't work! Voice and SMS only....and maybe 1xRtt data.....so you will be relying on WiFi for data! You've been warned!
Also, I highly suggest you use a free MD5 Hash checking utility to verify the integrity of the files you are downloading. That is why the MD5 hash is provided, so you can be sure you didn't get the wrong file or a corrupt download that could cause a BRICK!
If you don't follow the directions carefully you can end up with a brick! Ask questions after reading the OP if you still aren't sure. I probably won't know the right answer for sure. You may have to wait on someone with more experience in this to answer your question.
DO NOT ACCEPT AN OTA UPDATE WHILE RUNNING THIS SETUP
1. Download the recovery.img (MD5: f1c01ad20e02751a73188f173eb412ca), which combines our source-based kernel with our previously released CWM v4.
2. Flash the recovery.img following these instructions, that is:
Code:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 bs=256k
sync
3. Reboot into recovery (using volume up, home power buttons), wipe data, install one of invisibleks CM9 roms>click here for all of his CM9 roms< which do not have boot.img integrated, then continue with the steps below:
4. Download these additional files:
(required download)boot.img (MD5: db058f4b15df0fa1b9ee04a5c17cf103), which is invisibleks custom boot.img
It would be good at this point to read ahead and determine where you will be loading the next file. Keep in mind if you are in stock recovery and choose to wipe data, this will wipe the internal memory.
if you plan to load onto internal memory download this file boot_emmc_boot_img.zip (MD5: 84a3f98c194f6dedc583dbc75ccc34c2)
or
if you plan to load onto sdcard (ext) memory download this file boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip (MD5: 88904d7e69d455ff88756b4d1ad79aac), which are applied in recovery to kexec (boot) the custom boot.img.
5. Place boot.img either on the internal SD card (the /sdcard/ folder), or on the external SD card (the /mnt/extSdCard/ folder).
The boot.img kernel boots directly out of one of these folders, it will not (and should not) be flashed to the device.
6. If you're using the internal SD card, place boot_emmc_boot_img.zip in /sdcard/ as well. If you're using the external SD card, place boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip in /mnt/extSdCard/.
7. Reboot into recovery.
8. If using the internal SD card, select "Install zip from sd card" and then "choose zip from internal sdcard", then "boot_emmc_boot_img.zip". Alternatively, if using the external SD card, select "choose zip from sdcard", then "boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip".
At this point, the device should reboot "in the middle" of applying the update, temporarily booting boot.img. If the update "completes" and returns to the CWM menu, kexec has failed or the wrong recovery was loaded in the beginning. Please check the locations of boot.img, and boot_emmc_boot_img.zip or boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip and verify recovery.img file used was the correct one, verify using an MD5 hash checker.
9. Once booted, the custom kernel can be confirmed by checking "Kernel version" in "Settings", "About device". It should report:
3.0.8-gdefeb6f
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 8 04:27:58 EDT
2012
10. To reboot into the stock kernel, select "Restart" from the Power menu, which will actually reboot into CWM recovery. Press the Power button to select "reboot system now" and leave recovery.
11. You cannot simply power on your phone with this setup! In order to power on your phone you will have to hold volume up, home and power to boot into recovery and load the zip file you chose at step 4 where you chose either internal or external memory, so either "boot_emmc_boot_img.zip" or "boot_sdcard_boot_img.zip". If you do accidentally boot up by just hitting power, no big deal, it will give you all sorts of force closes, simply pull battery and boot back up using the Vol up, Home, power method.
If anyone would like to suggest further clarification, please do. To get the stock Google apps such as Play Store get the package HERE and install in recovery
Alternatively a more condensed version of this install procedure has been posted by nbsdx and can be found HERE.
7-15 2:46pm **As of right now voice and SMS are not working on my phone while others are working fine. While you can still play around and see just how amazingly fast CM is on this phone, YMMV. If it doesn't work you need to know how to go back to stock before trying this.
If you want to return to bone stock, simply go to THIS THREAD to get STOCK ROM IMAGE and then put your phone into Odin Download mode by following THIS THREAD and be sure to flash it using the PDA button. It will take a while, probably 20 minutes or so, it will take forever to boot up the first time but you will be on bone stock like new.
Very informative. Would read again.

dual boot
Being that we have to use kexec anyhow, it would be nice (especially with the state of current cm9 rom) if we could fully dual boot so as to keep stock system and data for stock kernel.
Like here,
http://www.epiccm.org/2012/07/dualboot-cm9-on-sgs3-lte-sprint-t.html
I just installed successfully using the instructions in the OP so I can confirm it works correctly. Holy crap it's fast.

If you follow the steps in this thread, including using these links for your files, it will work without a problem.
I can't comment on why other guides on other sites using other files don't work.....and not really sure how it applies to this thread. Lets try to keep it on topic. If you have issues with the dual booting instructions, you might start a new thread to address that or jump in irc.freednode.net/verizons3 and graciously ask the people for help
When you flash the the CM9 rom built by Invisiblek it will come back out to CWR menu. At that point in the process I realized I hadn't copied the boot.img file into the root of my sd card, so i left it on the CWR menu, popped out the sdcard, copied the boot.img file over (already had the boot_sdcard_boot.img file on the root of sdcard), and popped the sdcard back in, chose advanced->reboot recovery, then followed the steps in this guide, worked perfectly.

You need to add one line to Invisiblek's updater-script that "flashes" the boot.img to the bootloader partition in the multi boot folder. Check out the sprint cm9 install for the line to add.
I have tested dual booting to work perfectly.

No. Different files used, probably a different step or two also. I plan to edit this once CM10 builds are ready for public consumption. These instructions also don't include the automated kexec scripting work done recently that allows your device to cold boot into CM9.

Is there anyway to get the TouchWiz Camera on CM9? I really like that camera app.
I tried just putting it in /system/app and changing the permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooting and nothing
Then i tried just installing it like a normal apk and it failed.
I would love CM9 if i could just get the stock camera app too work.
BTW im using DHacker29's CM9 and its amazing. So much easier to install.

Google Wallet Installer for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3.
Requires ROOT, an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, and BUSYBOX!(A deodexed ROM is just recommended)
My newest project, RemoteFlash, was just released! Take a look and give it a try!
Wallet Installer Is Now Available For Free To All Supported Carrier Models On XDA! (Donations Appreciated)
My application, "Wallet Installer", will install Google Wallet on almost any US based Samsung Galaxy S3. It simply edits your build.prop and then places the correct modifications into your system. It downloads all the files from my personal server, which is pretty quick. Just select the appropriate Rom type: AOSP, JB Touchwiz, or ICS TouchWiz, and then your carrier: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, or US Cellular. I also added a restore option for your build.prop, so you can restore it after you setup Google Wallet. Hopefully this helps you out and makes the process easier!
Wallet Installer has been updated on the server side. The credit goes to Paul Obrien for the new version! To install it, simply reset Google Wallet, delete it, and then rerun Wallet Installer! Make sure to also have BusyBox installed/updated!
Please donate if my work helps you : )
V3: No Recovery/More Stable
And as always: I take no responsibility for bricked devices, whether a soft brick or a full on brand new coffee coaster.
Dude. You are awesome. I was just in the official wallet thread and was hesitant on going through with it because it seemed daunting having to change the build prop. I'm about to flash slim Bean 3.1 and then try this out. Will update this post once I finish trying it out . Hopefully all goes well!!!
Well I ended up lagging on the install but just wanna say thanks again because it worked perfectly. First try and not a single problem as of yet. Awesome!!
Glad to help! Hopefully all goes well! If the download stalls just give it a while, my server is a retired galaxy nexus hooked up to WiFi lol. My WiFi sucks sometimes.

Google Wallet Installer for Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 3's(d2vzw)
My application, "WalletInstaller", will install Google Wallet on any Verizon S3. It simply swaps out your build.prop with a modified one and then flashes an open recovery (TWRP 2), and in the open recovery flashes the latest version of Google Wallet along with the required NFC libs for your rom. It downloads all the files from my personal server, which can be somewhat slow, but I'll be upgrading soon. Hopefully there won't be any download issues. Just select the appropriate rom type: AOSP, JB Touchwiz, or ICS TouchWiz. Hopefully it helps you out and makes the process easier! It has been tested on my device, which is running CM10, but the other options haven't been tested, but they should work great. I will also hopefully make it to support all US carrier based S3's after the weekend is over.
My application will be in the market for 99 cents if you feel like supporting the cause(will post link once uploaded), or you can download it here for free. Please don't post links to my application without my personal consent. Thank you!

So I installed the app and set it all up just fine, in fact, I was about to test out wallet at a locat establishment but I noticed something was a little weird. I tried to change my wallpaper to a picture in my gallery. For some reason I got an error that "Not enough space. Delete photos, music, etc." Last time I checked I had plenty of space. I opened up setting and storage to find my device storage has a total of 4GB of space (with close to 2GB's of free space remaining). My S3 is a 16GB unit. Obviously things are a bit haywire. I'm running CleanROM 5.0 at the moment so I'm not sure if your app would conflict with that but things were fine prior to this. What do you think?
when i choose ics touchwiz install it loads terminal emulator and says rm failed for /system/build.prop no such file or directory
I'm not sure if my app would interfere quite like that. It shouldn't, but when messing with the build.prop and a custom ROM you can never be positive. If anything else odd happens, pm me and I'll look into it.

It's possible that your system didn't mount properly, or that your ROM is using some sort of mod that moved the build.prop, or it may have been removed or altered by another application.

Here's one question for you...
Why does your installation include TWRP 2.3.1.0.
I already had a CWM Recovery...that was strange to me.....when I get to work I am going to try to flash over that to see if that's the problem. Could be that. But right now I can't access my internal drive let alone the backups if I were to start over.......LOL.....I wouldn't be able to get to.

I'm sorry that you're having trouble. I included TWRP because it uses an open, unencrypted script file to pass commands to recovery. CWM, from my understanding, requires an encrypted, not so universal script file called extended commands. Depending on what recovery someone was running, flashing a script would not work, or it would possibly brick their device. I wanted to make sure everything was done correctly.
Also... I will take a look at all my server side files today and the app. I can't make changes from where I am, since I don't have ftp setup and I'm out of town, but I can download them and see where I may have gone wrong. My best guess is the build.prop swap causing issues, if any of you have possible leads, post them here and I can attempt a fix later today or tomorrow.
BTW...Wallet worked like a charm in 7-11 and Whole Foods
Taking pictures is a little harder too...have to switch to external to save the pictures....the Camera 4.2 doesn't even allow you to switch to external card.
Would be a shame to scrap this working wallet for these issues

I'm getting ready to attempt a flash on CleanRom in a few minutes to see if that's the only ROM having issues. Hopefully you guys can stick this out until everything's working great ; )
I flashed wallet and libs using my app on CleanRom 5. I was able to replicate the same error as you guys posted. Also, I don't know if you guys checked, but in recovery it mounts the internal sdcard perfectly, so that tells me it may have something to do with CleanRom in specific. I'm going to flash through some stock touchwiz ROMs with Odin and see what results I get in that area. Hopefully it's just a ROM specific ordeal.

Major first question before the answer:
What recovery are you using? Clockwork Mod, or TWRP?
I'm not personally familiar with that ROM, however, since I've gotten my I535 S3, I've gone through about five or six ROMs.
I suggest you don't do this yet, BUT this is what I've done to switch between ROMs. It's smooth and painless once you get the foundation setup:
Firstly, AFTER you root and setup CWM or TWRP:
- Go into your recovery menu and choose the option that performs a backup to external card.
- Find which ROMs you think you might like to use and compare, I recommend getting two or three to start, download the .zip files to your EXTERNAL sd card (you can't flash a ROM when it's on the internal memory since the internal memory usually gets wiped when flashing)
- Go back into your recovery menu and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. That order seems to be the most common, but I've seen people do it every which way. Theoretically you should do it in this order, since you are sort of sweeping the floor to clean it for a new carpet. I'm sure that's a brash way of describing the process and no doubt someone may correct me, but that's the main idea. Data = the bulk of the dirt on the floor, get rid of that and clean up the little stuff = the cache, and the remainder to make the floor sparkle = dalvik cache, which in effect optimizes app access times, from what I've read.
- Using your recovery menu, navigate to whatever option resembles installing from zip, and choose install from external card. These options may very depending on the version of recovery. Here you should see a file browser which you can go through and choose the directory on your external card to which you've downloaded the ROMs too. Just choose whatever one and bam. You may need to choose some options before installation, if the ROM uses an Aroma installer. If you don't know what you're doing, just choose default (the first) options.
PLEASE, someone let me know if there's anything I've missed or stated incorrectly..after a few years of rooting and ROM experience, this is my complete knowledge, and I've never had a problem. Bricked a few times because of experimentation, but always was able to recover :fingers-crossed:
Best of wishes - let us know what happens and DON'T hesitate to ask before you do anything. No sense it rushing and ruining your phone!
I used Odin. Is that too vague? I also used Clockwork Mod.

THIS IS ONE QUICK/SIMPLE ERROR FREE ROM FLASHING PROCEDURE
This should eliminate a few posts saying, stuck in download mode, stuck at logo. just vibrates and them MANY other issues that somehow, everyone seems to find.
Here is my quick rom flashing process I use ALWAYS (yes always)
THINGS YOU NEED ON extSDCARD
1. Extra kernels (2 or 3 you know works for your device)
2. Optional: 2 recoveries that can be flashed (I use CWM & TWRP)
3. Optional: apps.zip (a zip created from Titantium BU, containing Root Explorer, TU Backup, Quickpic, ES File Explorer and Terminal Emulator)
Flashing the rom: TOUCHWIZ/AOSP ROMS
1. Backup current rom (to the extsdcard)
2. Complete wipe, (I do complete, some people do not) Complete = No Issues [FACTORY RESET + CLEAR CACHE + CLEAR DALVIK CACHE + CLEAR DATA]
3. Flash the rom
4. Flash the kernel (your device kernel) (I know some roms have their own kernel) this is where your problems start.
AGAIN: FLASH YOUR KERNEL, you KNOW it works. 1 more time FLASH YOUR KERNEL. (you can experiment with other kernels after you boot)
AOSP ROMS - require you to flash gapps before you boot. [This is not required for TouchWiz roms]
5. Boot the rom.
FINISHED!!!! SUCCESS!!!
Total time to flash a rom:
7-10min
Errors - NONE
This goes for every rom in my guide.
TIPS:
This flash procedure is for Touchwiz Roms, if you are flashing AOSP roms, you must flash the gapps package associated with the rom you are flashing.
**** SGH-I337M Users: Often requires flashing a different kernel than the one included in most ATT ROMS. Any GT-i9505 kernel will work and Adam kernel and Faux kernel are both confirmed working for us Canadian users.
Note: Flash KERNEL directly after ROM then reboot device.
[Special thanks to blyndfyre for this helpful tip].
The extra recovery I flash if a rom does not like the recovery I am using.
Yes, you can flash recoveries back and forth.
Apps.zip I flash after the rom is up & running. This I use to get the rom setup (like root explorer and others needed)

Hit the menu button when in TiBa, it will bring up an option to create a zip, it rocks, I use it for multiple things, you can name it anything you want, flashes perfect every time. When I want to setup a rom, I have to use those apps, like the root explorer. I hate doing a complete restore or picking thru it to get what I need, so I flash the zip with the only things I need.

Wow, you guys didn't know TiBU could do this?
apps.zip (a zip created from Titantium BU, containing Root Explorer, TU Backup, Quickpic, ES File Explorer and Terminal Emulator)
This is helpful when you get the rom fully booted, and you have to do some changing of things like pushing apps to the system/apps dir, all the zip is a combination of tools I think are needed to get the rom up to speed, I have been using this since the G3 days, speeds up my testing of the roms for my guide also.
Glad I could share the info for everyone.
Hope it helps.
Thanks to all.
Just had 3 PM from people with issues doing this flash procedure. I fixed them, but here is my issue.
HOW HARD CAN THIS BE!!!!!
This is the easiest steps EVER.
DO IT STEP 1, STEP 2 AND SO ON.
You need it more simple:
BACKUP
COMPLETE WIPE
FLASH ROM
BEFORE BOOT FLASH CORRECT KERNEL
BOOT ROM
5 steps....EASY EASY EASY EASY EASY AND EVEN EASY!
And last but not least - EASY
Solution 2:
If you can not do this, you need to sell your phone to me, and go out and buy a flip phone, or a iPuke. those are the easiest fool proof phones for people who can not read or follow simple instructions.
