yes, actually i do the same, i switched from JB and GB frequently, no problem so far, but in the forum i mentioned they are so concern about this, that make a big question on my mind.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndriyeZ:
So...nothing to worry dude...:D

Just doing all back up before doing anything..

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InToSSH:
It should be all OK. Greatest concern is flashing bootloader, that might "brick" your phone, but there are solutions for this all over the forum. Anyway dont worry about that, if you have some approved bootloaders for ROMs from this forum, you should be OK, then flashing ROMs is without problems. I have been flashing official ICS to GB, then to JB, and nothing bad happend.

thank you every one for the answer.. you worth my thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kensh:
Before you flash anything just be sure to follow the roms instructions and also keep in mind that you should backup your phone before you start to flash anything incase anything does screw up. I went from 2.3.4 to 4.1.1 (AOKP rom) and have had not too many issues that haven't been solved from the rom.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I think you're refering to the "0 percent battery" issue which occurred for some users flashing back while 2.3 was all we had, not so much an issue these days.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktutnik:
thank you for sharing, yes that was my though, but mentioned issue causing something damage (boot sector damage or something damage i forgot it) and it is different than 0% battery issue right?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROBINGAZI:
My experience is with Motorola HTC huawei. I have never owned a Samsung before and I am a little confused. I rooted my note and it currently has an advanced recovery and I deleted some apps I never use. The image attached should tell you guys what it is at the moment. I would like to install the Bangladesh version ics Rom for the note but I'm not sure how to go about it.

1. How do I flash the Rom. Do I flash like I did with my HTC and Motorola.

2. Would I lose root in the process?

3. If and when Samsung releases jb for note would I be able to update ota?

4. What is odin why do I need it and what's flash count?

5. I don't like aosp or aokp roms. What Rom should I move to eventually?

6. If I flash a Rom will I lose everything from the internal sdcard?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
1.

I never use HTC and Motorolla smartphone, but in samsung, you can use ODIN (you can choose ODIN PC, or Mobile ODIN).

For mobile ODIN, you can use the lite version free (from google play), or you can purchase the mobile ODIN pro. But mobile ODIN can only be use if you are rooted.

Otherwise, ODIN PC would be a good choice (if yours not rooted, or do not intend to purchase mobile ODIN pro).

You may refer to this thread (by dr. Ketan). Read properly on how to flash your Note, once you understand, you may proceed.

2.

If you are rooted already, and you flash by ODIN PC, yes... you will be unroot again, and go back to stock kernel.

if you use mobile ODIN, you can keep the root by choosing keep root option(but in some cases, root also gone). But don't worry, if your root gone in the process, you can always root back your device, using this thread (by dr. Ketan again). :) All credits goes to him, I only provide you the link.

3.

When sammy will release ? no news yet. I only know soon. But I believe it should be after the release of Note 2 in all countries, only then we will receive the OTA for JB on our N7000.

For OTA updates, I'm not so sure if you are able to do it perfectly when your device is rooted. I have never done the update from OTA / or even Kies so far. I always use ODIN.

4.

ODIN is a tools to help you to flash firmware / kernel / csc. It's an optional tools in case you want to flash firmware from other countries. Or when you want to change kernel, but your device is not rooted, or when you want to flash just the CSC files.

Flash count is the binary counter, it's like a protection to Samsung, so they will know whether you flash custom ROM / kernel onto your device or not, and if yes, how many times. Normally when your binary counter up, Sammy will void your warranty.

But don't worry, there's a tool to remove by using this thread (Triangleaway, by Chainfire).

Binary counter is up when you (edit : flash custom kernel via ODIN PC). When you flash original firmware (from any countries), using ODIN PC, it won't up your binary counter, as it is considered as official ROM from Samsung.

5.

You can use TW ROM.

6.

It is always good to move your important data to external SD card first. and/or you can backup first before you flash anything onto your device.

But my understanding, your internal SD card won't be affected eventhough you do a full wipe, unless you format it. :fingers-crossed:

Lastly,

Just a gentle reminder, DO NOT do any full wiping under original ICS stock kernel / recovery. You want to wipe, please flash a safe kernel first.

Choice of safe kernel = you can find it here, a thread summarize by Chasmodo.

Hydracore, Philz, and speedmod is proven to be safe (as they have removed the eMMC brick bug).

Please read all carefully before flashing.

Good Luck!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROBINGAZI:
This was a very detailed and helpful reply. Thank you for taking the time to help me. Just one little question.

With Samsung people don't flash custom roms via recovery? People use odin? Or can it be done both ways?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Custom ROM normally flashed by recovery.

Normally you can only flash a Custom ROM after you have rooted your device.

ODIN only use to flash official firmware / CSC from samsung.

or to flash custom kernel.

anyway, if you are really new to this note, I suggest you to do more research and reading, especially on dr. Ketan thread.

He really helps us a lot here with his thread.

Only when you are confident and sure about the step, then you may continue. A lot ppl don't want to read carefully, and end up in bricking the device. (I was one of them when first time having this note). After bricking then I start to learn from scratch, read more post and thread.

u should do the other way around, read more, confident, then do.

Good Luck!

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
Ok, so mike.r.olson has started a bounty in the SGS III forum to have wifi calling enabled on CM roms. With my promise of $50, that raises the bounty to $330

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1922861

I would imagine that just about any Samsung Galaxy brand phones who are able to get this flashed and working would be able to flash it into any other galaxy phones (ours included).

So, 2 things:

For end users, if you want this, go pledge some money!

For Devs, if you want money, fix this!!!

:P

Wifi calling is based on IMS, which is open sourced, but built into the framework. We would probably just have to figure out what runs it and what it's dependencies are and spoof it into CM.

Ready... BREAK!

Hey guys, I decided to take a picture of my diztronic case on the one x for you guys.

I think this is probably the most popular tpu branded case out there.

They run for about 10 dollars, and they fit perfectly for the phone.

I put this case on whenever I go drinking (because you know, drunk calls, texts, your bound to drop the phone)

but here you go guys, hope you guys enjoy the pictures!

Remember to click the "thanks" button, not that it matters, but who doesnt like thanks :)

Nice pics.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] skeetskeeet:
I use this case as well, it looks awesome with the dark grey One X. it has a ~1mm raised lip so you can lay your phone down with the screen facing down. also (like any case) it makes it pretty much impossible for you to accidentally unlock your phone while it's in your pocket, so you don't need a lockscreen. just makes the phone seem more sturdy. without it, I can barely tell my phone is in my pocket, which I don't like. I recommend it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tc470:
Just bought a China Unicom SIII galaxy gt-i9300 and although i have it in english settings, it's still in chinese firmware without the google apps and a multitude of other english apps etc. Read a lot about just flashing a stock ice cream firmware on there for a regular english firmware operating phone but also read that you can flash another model number or brick.

So many different articles on the same thing, somewhat lost and don't know where to start, can anybody help?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
If you have a gt-i9300 you can flash any of the firmwares here for that from any of the countries. You could use one of the full odin packages and it will change your CSC code to a non Chinese one as long as you flash a FW that's not from China :)

You might have to manually flash a modem depending on data performance as some modems work better in different areas than others
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0semaj0:
you can check to see if the model is actually a I9300 or not under the battery where your IMEI number is...most variants such as North American or Japanese or Korean units have different model number that is not I9300...thus firmware would differ...and cause brick if you do Odin through I9300 firmware...

Secondly, such action would void your warranty...Thirdy, if you are still using it in China, it may be beneficial for you to identify the CSC and modem specific to your carrier...

next time post in the correct section please.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tc470:
I'm not in china, i'm a Canadian living in australia and it definitely is a gt-i9300, already checked under the battery and all that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlevy73:
Not entirely accurate. China Unicom like China Mobile uses a different bootloader than the international I9300. The radio is also specific to Unicom's WCDMA network. Flashing a European FW could render the phone useless. Meaning it will still work but it will not connect to any network. I say this because I spend a lot of time in China and have witnessed many users try to root their phone to get Google apps only to have a $800 paperweight. There's a good thread here on XDA which describes a very lengthy process in getting a different OS on a Unicom model.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kremata:
The Unicom model is the international normal model.(I have the same one). The reason is, in China only China Unicom have real 3G(HSPDA) so when they say the China Unicom model it means it's the international one. China Mobile have the i9308(SCDMA) and China Telecom have i9339(CDMA 1X). My wife and I both have the Unicom model and no problem flashing anything.

But it might be true for other phones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandvolk:
You can flash it with mobile odin. First you must root it, this is no problem, than you can flash it with mobile odin.

The reason is that mobile odin doesn't flash the boot image and only the boot section is different to European phones.

After flashing make a factory reset and enjoy the phone. At boot you will see the Unicom logo first and than you come to

the European Android.

But every time, use Mobile Odin only to flash it. Also not Kies or OTR. Only Mobile Odin will not flash the boot partition.

I bricked my device first, after long time searching in the net, i found everything.

Download your Chinese firmware, than you can repaire it every time with normal odin. After repair, i flashed it with

DBT Android 4.0.4 and later with Android 4.1.1. Also its good to make a CWM backup.

Just a background info: I have a young family member that needs phone and I have bought her at first a "cheap" Android phone from Virgin Mobile and that was a disaster (slow, froze all the time, etc.). I replaced that with a supposedly powerful phone - Virgin Mobile Motorola Triumph. That is another disaster, as the phone was launched half-baked. If you Google this phone, there are issues from the phone ringing only once to running out of storage because the phone keep generating large alogxx files.

Anyways, she is getting tired with these issues (and so am I!!) and I want to get her a pure Google phone - the Nexus. But before I jump in and buy this, is there any issues with this phone that I need to be aware of? Keep in mind the issues I mentioned above, which made the using an Android phone really painful for her.

Aside from the screen burn-ins and discoloration in low brightness, the phone is actually fantastic.

Even the relatively outdated 5MP camera is actually pretty good. Although it has less MP, the quality of the sensor is actually great.

Also, just give your daughter the pure Google experience. It's almost flawless in terms of software (IMO), so it'll be a welcome change from her previous two phones. Just treat her well with the G'nex before she gets iPoisoned and we lose another poor soul to the dark side:crying:

EXACTLY!! She has been eyeing the iPhone 5!

But honestly, she was getting tired with the Android "experience", especially with the last 2 phones. The Motorola Triumph was $299 and it was piece of crap! This gives Android a bad name. This 3rd phone, the Nexus, HAVE to be the right one... seeing it's Google who sells them, not Virgin Mobile or some other carrier.

Uh oh... not nit-picking here but its must be pretty bad that flashing a custom ROM is needed to increase the volume size... Hmmm.. I wish the Nexus is sold in a retail store so I can try it out! I believe Google charges 15% restocking fee for returning a phone?

I have a Honeywell Lynx security system that allows me to have external keypads, and my Nexus is one of them (via wifi).

The problem is that I want to be able to use my nexus as a keypad once I've left home (e.g. from work, while on vacation), but because the Lynx tracks MAC addresses of keypads (and maybe some other reason I haven't through of), I have not been able to figure out a way to monitor my security system via my nexus tablet after I've left home.
