Which ROM are you talking about? I'm sure if you read the OP of the one you want, it will have clear directions you can follow. If you don't understand something in the directions, however, please come back and ask!

This Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1733097 & now im on 2.3.4 Gingerbread when i used Gremlin Remover. Im not sure how to get to the rom now

Ah, Ok. If you're rooted, get SGS Kernel Flasher from the play store, it's free. Then, use it to flash AntonX's 1.1.3 kernel, from the dev section. After you do that, flash to CM7, THEN flash AOKP.
Or, you can wait till FB releases the next update, which is supposed to fix the BML>MTD conversion. But, I don't know when that will be.
Edit: Make sure you read the instructions for both the ROMs carefully, before you flash them! It can save your device a lot of trouble!

I can still do this even though im on firmware 2.3.4 right? & to flash AntonX's kenrnel i use SGS kernal flasher right? then after that i go into recovery and flash AOKP?

I did the kernel after i went to recovery and tried to install AOKP and it said installation aborted..

Make sure you follow the directions to flash in the AOKP thread. I read flashing from BML works. Try again follow the directions in the thread.

What's BML? Link Please ? The tread says flash using CMW but it didn't work..

Does it have to do with it being on 2.3.4 & build number says GINGERBREAD.VUVKG4?

Make sure your recovery says CMW 5.xx.xx (x's being numbers) I think the recovery in gremlin remover is the old CWM 3.xx.xx.
Also If you installed antonx's kernel reboot the phone and try again. I have flashed from stock with root to aokp several times the past few days.

My CMW is Blue if that matters and it says CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8 . If its not the updated CWM how do i update it?

Make sure you have the most recent version of aokp I believe it is .v3 now. That is the only version that can be flashed straight from stock based roms.

Help with Kexec for SGS3

To whoever can help me -- I'm trying to use kexec to install CM10 on my SGS3, but i've been hearing that when you hard-reboot your phone, AKA battery pull/death, or using the power button, you go right back to the recovery. This isn't a problem, as long as I don't have to re-flash CM10 every time I boot, or I have no choice but to go to the stock ROM. I'd like to be able to either boot to the CM10 or go to my currently flashed version of CM10 from the recovery.
Any clarification on how kexec works on the SGS3 or any advice might help.
Thanks!

Bumping... could really use help here.

Just reboot from recovery and it will bootloop a couple times then boot up.

Flash a recovery that supports kexec. You'll find this in the OP of the CM10 threads. Then make a backup, wipe data/cache, flash CM10, and flash Gapps, reboot. When your phone boots, it will appear to bootloop once or twice. Ignore it and give it a few minutes, longer after a new flash. Expect that every time. Once in a while, a cold boot may boot you into recovery. In recover, just tell it to reboot and you'll be back in CM10. That's all there is to it, for an end user. It won't force you to go back to stock, and you don't have to flash anything every boot.
You may have heard conflicting information from outdated threads. Before some smart cookies automated the kexec process, you had to do some manual flashing every reboot. This is no longer the case.

not necessarily...if your flashing a custom rom/kernel like beans custom stock, cm10, paranoidandroid, aokp, or imosyeons Touchwiz leankernel, kexec is always there...kexec is built into the kernel, cwm 6.0.1 is compatible with kexec.

Question though. Could cwm touch be modified to make it kexec enabled?

I used cwm touch for the very first kexec kernel release(boosted v.1 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mv3gz6skad1nsnx/-oUr708Bc2), where you had to reflash the emmc in recovery on each reboot in order to stay on the custom kernel. Not sure if cwm touch works for the later kexec builds...

I don't think they work with TWRP. They will flash fine but they wont boot. I had the same problem as the OP when i flashed them. I guessing its because they aren't setup for unlocked phones yet. OP all you need to do is wipe using TWRP then flash the cyanogen mod 10 leak posted by CVPS. Make sure you flash gapps and you will be good to go.

Locked or unlocked phone shouldn't matter as far as the Rom is concerned, it's been stated many times that the kexec kernels will boot fine on an unlocked phone. I would suggest starting fresh, stock ODIN, root, unlock, then flash CWM 6.0.1.0 with ez recovery and go from there.
Some people are not having any issues with the touch recoveries and others are, in my experience the CWM recovery has been the most stable and I could really care less about "touching" my recovery, buttons do the same thing. Just my 0.02

feel like an old man hearing these stories......we all know them...when we first started out flashing and **** went wrong....freak outs..panics....sweating..pacing..anger....regret.........BUT then you work through them and look back and say "**** that was easier than I thought"....and we come across them again without panic or hesitation........................dude relax........
1-grab a stock image...chose anyone you want in these forums..some are even prerooted.....i personally got competely back to stock
2-i use the one click root method..so root
3-flash cmw...any version you want as long as it is made for your model phone.....you can use e-z recovery app from market
4-MAKE A ****ING BACKUP!!! very important...
5-download e-z unlock from the play market..use...and done..now you are stock, rooted, unlock bootloader......if you plan on flashing cm10 or aokp or aosp....please make sure to read the thread "how to backup your imei" before flashing any of those roms.............boom goes the dynamite:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:.............................

Kexec roms don't but synergy should have. I use twrp and Synergy no problem. There isn't anything special that has to be setup for an unlocked bootloader.
Op you should be able to flash any non kexec rom. Did you do a wipe factory reset? If not you may want to give that a try

how do i downgrade cwm?

You can't update to cm9 and stay on 5.0.
Unlike most samsung phones, we do not have a functional recovery partition.
Even though we do have a recovery partition, and you can flash the recovery.img there, the bootloader will not even notice it.
It will just boot the kernel with the kernel command line argument: bootmode=2
In this mode, a stage1 init has to check if we are booting to: recovery, low power mode (charging), or normal boot (possibly with ota upgrade).
So in a nut shell, you upgrade to cm9, you get whatever recovery comes with cm9.
If you want to flash another cm9/ics based rom after that, just flash it (factory reset/wipe data, of course!). No need to go back to 5.0 recovery.
If however, your IMEI is screwed up or you have a specific reason to go back to gingerbread, use the oneclick that eollie mentioned. Flash it twice to get bootloaders. And then you can go back to cm9 by just 'factory reset/wipe data' and flash cm9 or whatever ics rom you wish.

Please read some more and understand what one clicking means. You could have cwm 3.x.x.x and if you flash the heimdall one clicks it will change to the current cwm for bml.

Quick question about going from 4.1 to 4.4 (Been gone for a while)

So like the title says I have been out of the ROM game for a little bit. Every couple of months I check in and see whats new and flash something else.
I was on the Jelly Beans ROM (Build 16 I think) and Android 4.1. I did some searching last night as was going to try flashing Gummy ROM…bad idea. I am guessing I needed something prior to jumping up to a 4.4 base. I booted to recovery and wiped everything and tried to flash with no luck. So the phone would not boot and I could only get into recovery and download mode. I did not have my micro SD adapter in order to get jelly beans back on it to flash so I ended up having to use odin to flash a stock rooted 4.1 image. Finally got everything back up and running but I still want to try some of the 4.4 ROMs. So what exactly do I need first in order to flash one? (Modem maybe)…if you know for sure why that happened and what I need to do please let me know. Thanks!
My Current "About Phone" Info...
Android Version - 4.1.2
Baseband version - I535VRBMB1
Jelly Beans - Build 20
P.S. I have tried doing the research and nothing I have found has been clear but one thing I came across is the official 4.3 update was bad news and broke the root methods? So should I stay away from 4.3 ROMs and is the old root method blocked in 4.4 as well or is that a different case since it wasn't actually released for our phone. If that makes sense lol

you need the latest recoveries to flash kk roms. cwm is here https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
and twrp is here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/102. make sure you download the d2vzw version
if you're rooted you should have no problems flashing 4.4 rom. I recommend beanstalk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354113. has worked great for me. you have to also update the modem to ML1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313
as always do a nandroid before you do anything and you should backup your sd card to your computer. they probably will move post this to another thread.

yes. flash the ML1 modem. I provided the link in my previous post. it's a fact that earlier recoveries won't flash kk roms. I found out the hard way myself. hopefully you'll have titanium or rom toolbox to backup your apps with data.

Thanks a lot!!.. So how do I know if my recovery is new enough? I was never a fan of the touch recoveries because I felt like it would be easier to do something on accident so I haven't tried one in a while...I am using clockwork mod recovery 6.0.4.5. Is that new enough??
Also one lasttttt question I swear...can someone give me a quick list of the different recovery options that are out there now...and maybe list some features of each...thank you

that recovery is fine. i've only used cwm and twrp.. had some problems with philz recovery so I ditched it. basically they're all the same. twrp lets you name your back where as cwm just uses some default name which of course you can change with a file manager. twrp also wipes all 3 (system, cache and dalvik) with one swipe where as cwm requires 3 separate operations. I really haven't done much in recovery other than wiping and flashing. I'm actually on the latest twrp and have had no problems flashing kk roms. keep in mind that you can't backup in cwm and restore it using twrp and vice versa. it's really more a personal preference as far as I'm concerned.
