The best way is to root, total wipe, then flash custom ROM and not flash over the stock ROM!

You can flash any rom on top of your current setup unless mentioned otherwise in rom installation instructions
if it says "[ROM][XXBLG1][12Jul][V1.6] WanamLite Smooth,Stable & Battery Friendly" do i need to have XXBLG1 firmware or it means it is based on XXBLG1 firmware or any other FW unless stated otherwise?
You will just have that modem when you flash. If the modem isn't good for you u can flash another

Hi there!
I am wanting to update my Samsung Galaxy GT-i9300 but am worried about the process because of having installed a custom kernel previously (would this muck up installing a new custom rom I wonder..)
Please find attached a screenshot of the settings and please tell me what I should do (if anything needs done) before I flash a new custom rom.
Cheers!
if you're worried about kernels, then just flash stock kernel then flash a custom rom on it.

kk, could you provide me with a suitable stock kernel (or links to one) which will be compatible with the rom I have installed?
any stock kernel that is for jb will be fine.

I am on android version 4.0.4 (so technically not JellyBean). and its safe to flash a stock kernel for JB despite being on that version before I flash a custom rom?
Sorry for asking, get confused easily..
you should be fine updating with a custom kernel (as all roms flash a kernel as well). Just make sure you factory reset when moving from ics to JB as you will most likely encounter problems if you don't.

I would suggest flashing ICS stock kernel first if you're worried. I thought you were already on jb.

Easy
Reflash the stock ics ROM
And flash any custom ROM you want
Enjoy

Hi
I'm have "[I9100][ROM 4.1.2] Stock 4.1.2 JB - real deal" installed to my device now. But I want to get back to custom roms.
Is it possible to root this and flash CWM using Odin? Or do I need first to flash stock ICS/GB using Odin?

IMHO it would be better to dwngrade to ICS 4.0.3, then root ur phone and install custom JB rom of ur choice

You can root with philz no prob. Done that. No need to downgrade in my opinion. Then install anything you want. Need link for philz?

You also can't install Stock ROMs with stock recovery, neither with CWM...
You'll need Odin.
Mobile ODIN is the only choice...
Also were you referring to stock ICS or Custom ROMs???
If its custom ROMs then you can directly flash using CWM...
But If stock one then you need Odin....else use kies to update..
Press thanx if i Helped..:good:
Anyone have tried?
I'm currently on 4.1.2 Rooted ChainFire
I just wonder if it is possible to flash the 4.2.2 stock ROM from sammobile with CWM?
Which means
i can keep the root while updated to 4.2.2
Because AFAIK, flash via ODIN will remove the root itself.
any respondse will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

all the ROMs on sammobile are Odin-flashable.
It doesn't matter what you flash it with - if the ROM is not rooted, then you'll lose root.
Get a pre-rooted 4.2.2 from the dev section

You have two options, flash with PC Odin, then root with CF Auto root, and flash CWM via rom manager.
Or you can flash with mobile Odin, don't flash recovery.img and check the everroot option this will keep root and custom recovery.
