Total noob.
Is there a recommended how-to doc that walks a noob through this process? I found this one:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
but it's not for devil and I'm not sure of the differences.
Follow the instructions in that walk-through, and once you have a working ICS rom (might I recommend SlimICS 4.2?) you can just download the devil kernel zip onto your SD card, boot into recovery (3 button salute), clear cache and dalvik cache, and flash the new kernel.

Thanks for the tips.
I've only flashed with odin. How do I flash from devil from the SD card?
Once you've flashed the cf-root tar file from Odin, the recovery image on your phone will be replaced with a ClockworkMod recovery. Most ROMs, kernels, and other tweaks are packaged as flashable zips that you apply through CWM recovery.
LMGTFY: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-flash-zip-files-using-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-on-galaxy-s/
So if you follow the HOWTO you originally posted, you'll have already used CWM once to flash your original ICS ROM (the stock kernel of which is pretty good). Once you've done that, you can download a flashable zip of Devil kernel (probably ~5MB, called Devil3_0.79_i9000_CFS_BLN_CMC_20120618.zip or something of the sort). Then boot into recovery, wipe cache, go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache, go into "install zip from sdcard">"choose zip from sdcard", select the devil kernel zip you downloaded, wait for it to install, then choose reboot system now.

Hi all expert and senior
I am currently using Dexter's new PRIMEE p9-3 ROM.
And now I plan to flash the kernel suggested by him.
I never install kernel before, so I want to make sure I have the correct steps before I start the installation.
1. Download picasso-hc-kernel-picasso-hc-kernel-master.tar.gz into SD.
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Wipe cache and cache.
4. Flash the picasso-hc-kernel-picasso-hc-kernel-master.tar.gz
5. Install PRIMEE_AcerIconia-p9.zip
6. Install primee-patch-p9-3.zip
7. Reboot.
1 more question, can I use the tar.gz file instead of zip file??
.tar.gz? I think this file is a source, usually kernels and ROMs come in .zip
Check again that kernel thread and see if you can find a zip file.

Is it possible ?
i have not tried installing cm9 yet. but from what i read, you just simply reboot into recovery and do the following to downgrade to cm7:
1. wipe data and cache.
2. go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
3. go back, and select install zip from sd.
4. select zip from sd, and choose cm7 stable zip and flash. the full stable rom already contains the cm7 kernel. no need to flash separately.
5. again, select gapps zip and flash.
6. reboot.
if you just want to flash cm7 kernel because you want to install a nightly build (without kernel), just flash cm7-kernel-signed.zip, follow by the nightly zip, in step 4.
Yep thats right
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
You need to flash the froyo kernel first
1) Flash froyo sbf (stock rom)
2) root using superoneclick, install sndinitdefy
Then reboot into custom recovery and follow the below steps

Do you really need to flash froyo kernel first?
I have to come back to CM7 and do I really need to flash SBF first? Or can I simply flash CM7 with kernel package?

Please, if you don't know what you are talking about, don't mislead people. If I only need to change a single broken brick in the wall on the second floor, do I need to ruin the whole house and rebuild it?
No need to flash SBF. Just go into recovery, wipe data/cache and dalvik cache, flash CM7 kernel, flash CM7 build, flash gapps for CM, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
DONE!
As above is the right way I have done it lots of times.

Hello all. Somewhat new to flashing ROM's but not rooting. I'm wanting to flash the SC MS2. I've got a good backup using the CWM without issue. But now kind of looking for straight-forward info on the ROM flash. I've looked at the SC MS2 thread from skynet11 and I'm not sure what Atlas is for so I'm hesitant to move on.
I'd like to think that since I've got my backup of the ROM and data/apps, I can just use three-button on the phone and flash from the SD.
Any suggestions/guidance is appreciated.
Cheers
Barry

What rom/kernel are you currently running? That will determine how you proceed with flashing SC MS2.
The Atlas file is for getting your phone back to stock and will come packaged with the stock rom - and you flash stock roms via Odin. Custom roms are flashed via cwm. Place .zip on SD card, boot to recovery, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache, and flash
Its on EH03 and kernel version is 2.6.35.7
How should I proceed? Wipe and then Flash with cwm? Or do I even need to wipe the data?
Thanks again for your help. Hopefully as I learn more I can contribute back as well.

Once you have CWM properly installed, download the Superclean MS2 .zip file into your SD card. (Make sure the .zip is OK, first).
Then go into CWM and wipe data/factory reset 1st. Then select "install zip from SD card". Then select "choose zip from SD card" and find the file. Select "Yes" to flash. I suggest you also wipe Dalvik Cache by going into the Advanced menu.
After everything is done, reboot, and if you want , you can flash a kernel like KBG.
Enjoy!
Thanks!
Although, What benefits are there to flashing the kernel?
Also, and sorry if I'm being a bother, but I "thought" I did a backup this morning and I'm looking at my SD card in the cwm->backup folder and I don't see the timestamp I thought I'd see from today - there's one there but from 2000-01-01 - is that one it?
Thanks so much!
Once last thing - the gapps.zip - how's that installed? Thanks

It's just flashed the same way as any .zip file, like the SuperClean.
Benefits of using KGB? Many... like being able to overclock and undervolt, back light notifications, and enabling Voodoo lag fix.
I haven't done that many CWM backups, because.. they are not that useful, IMHO. I don't have anything worth backing up in my phone anyway. (All my contacts are in Exchange) and your SD card contents are untouched. Plus, I can get all my apps back from Android Market in no time. If there are some specific apps (and its data) that you want to backup, I would use Titanium backup.
Perfection! Thanks so much!! now on SC without issue. Was a bit concerned when I didn't know how long it would take to wipe the data (seemed forever but in reality only a few mins), but flashed it, then the gapps and have restored the apps I wanted using Titanium. CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again very much!
Great thread, I am in the same situation: currently on SC3 M1 with KGB kernel and EH03 radio.
I want to flash to SC3 M2, keep the KGB kernel, and possibly try different radio. I just want to make sure I have my steps in the correct order:
1. Download SC3 M2 .zip to SD card
2. Download KGB .zip to SD card
2. Backup apps to SD card (with Ti or Astro)
4. Reboot into CWM recovery (red)
5. Wipe data, cache partition, dalvik cache
6. Disable Voodoo Lagfix and /System lagfix???
7. Install SC3 M2 from ZIP
8. Boot up into SC3 M2
9. Reboot into CWM recovery
10. Wipe cache partition and dalvik cache
11. Install KGB from ZIP
12. Boot into SC3 M2, then reboot back into CWM recovery
13. Enable voodoo lagfix and /system lagfix
14. Reboot
Am I correct about the points where I would disable lagfix?
At what point would I flash a different radio?
Thanks!

Radios can only be odined. I would use ec09. You can find the file in droidstyle's guide. He has a step by step write up for this.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
If your already on SC M1 and the latest KGB, all you need to do is put the SC M2 zip on your SD card, wipe dalvik and install the SC M2 zip.. You don't need to reflash the kernel..
Sent from my Commodore 64..
READY.
load"xda forums",8,1
So EC09 radio will work with KGB_EH03_FA16 and SuperClean3 Milestone 2?
I am looking at droidstyle's guide now and it says the EC09 radio is compatible with any Fascinate ROM.
Will I need to re-flash my kernel or ROM after Odining the EC09 radio? I am planning to just follow the directions in section 7 here, so please stop me if there is anything different/additional I need to do!
Thanks!

Bro, is this europe firmware?
yes, exactly..
Its my current ROM now..
Hi,
my A500 has got the stock ICS. I've also managed to root it. Only the stock recovery is still installed. I have no idea how I can install the ClockworkMod there. Or may I naively install ClockworkModRecovery via the Acer Recovery installer? -> Maybe someone can answer that.
My main concern is something else. In the stock ICS image the AcerRing is missing. But the custom image FLEXREAPER has this on board and also offers a variety of ZIPs for customisation the Acer ring (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517181).
Can I use the stock recovery to install the AcerRing? E.G. I rename the FLEXREAPER-R5-STOCK-RING.zip file to "update.zip" and copy it into the root directory of my SD card? Then simply using keys (which were the keys? Power+"Vol-"?) and boot into stock recovery mode and then the system installs the AcerRing automatically?
Thank you for your answers.
Install CWM via Acer Recovery Installer program.
Put ROM of choice on external SD
Boot into recovery via Power+Volume (closest to power button). This will put you into CWM Recovery
Goto Wipe menu and wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache
After wipes, choose "install from zip"
Install zip from external sd
Navigate to rom.zip
Install rom
Reboot and enjoy.

I don't think it is enough to flash a mod. A mod just changes colours and styles etc.
You need to install complete Flexreaper Rom to get it work.

AcerRecoveryInstaller warns me, that I have a not supported rom installed. It's the stock rom. Can I ignore this warning and install CWM Recovery?
I want to let this stock rom installed. I just want to install or uninstall system apps etc. or rather as I mentioned above to install the AcerRing.

The zip contains the AcerRing.apk and some META-INF directory. So I think it isnot only a mod of this app. I try to install the extracted apk but it was not successful.

Ok, I think you are right. The zip also contains update-scripts with paths-strings to Flexreaper paths etc. :-(
Just flash flexreaper. Its awesome. I personally don't use the ring though. But the mods are nice
