DISCLAIMER!! I do not own any of these ROMs or any material that is being shared via "link". I simply am sharing, and credit goes to all the developers that have worked extremely hard on the ROMS. If you're feeling generous, go ahead and click on the links in "Downloads" and donate to the developer that has diligently worked to provide you that ROM. Again, I am only providing links and using them as resources and the sole purpose of this thread is to guide other users. Thanks!
So as you guys may already know, Android 4.1 is the hype and everyone wants the jelly bean of their color. I'm here to give those who suddenly want to make the switch from going all stock into getting their hands dirty with flashing ROMs.
If you're coming from STOCK Gingerbread (Android 2.3) then read the below:
Okay first is you'll need CWM fixed for CM7. Its specifically for Cyanogen Mod ROMS, the others won't work and will result in potential brickage. So first read through my entire post and place the all the ROM files in your SD card as you will be flashing them via CWM later on.
Also a good way to start off is flashing and KEEPING Team Hacksung's Build 2 then upgrade to CM10. Its not a must but alot of the other roms like MIUI used THS Build 2 as their base so in case you'd like switching its best to keep it in your SD Card.
Now on topic, you'll need to start off with going back to Stock Ginger bread (If you haven't already, I'll make a separate section in the future! Just request it, but I believe everyone at this point is on Gingerbread, Android 2.3).
Before flashing anything, I highly recommend you to do the 3 Wipes. (Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cahe) This is a must in my book, make backups if you so feel like doing it. Personally I use Titanium Backup, I'm not a fan of Nandroid Backups.
1. Root via Odin.
2. Push CWM Fixed for CM7 via Odin.
(Do not flash these via CWM! Use Odin, and make sure that you've installed your Samsung Fascinate Drivers!)
3. Reboot and then Boot into recovery via 3 button combo.
4. After downloading THS Build 2 -( Its basically ICS) and moved it to your SD card, Choose Zip from File and flash it.
5. Reboot.
6. Now you're going to do a soft boot into recovery (hold the power button -> Reboot -> Recovery)
7. You can choose to do the Three Wipes again if you'd like.
8. Flash CM10 ROM.
All should go well. Any questions, leave them below!
If you're coming from an Android 4.0 Custom ROM (Team Hacksung, Milestone etc.), then read the below!:
1. Download the THS CM9 Build 2
2. Copy this to your SD card directory where it is easily accessible.
3. Boot into recovery (hold power button -> click on reboot -> recovery)
4. Do three wipes (Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache)
5. Install from ZIP
6. Flash the THS Build 2
7. Reboot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So after you've done that and everyone is now on THS Build 2, you can now begin by flashing FIRST the THS Jelly Bean ROM CM10 (found in downloads below)
1. Download the THS Jelly Bean ROM CM10
2. Again, place it in your SD card directory, easily accessible
3. Boot into recovery (hold power button -> click on reboot -> recovery)
4. Do Three wipes again (better safe than sorry, to ensure a healthy flash)
5. Install from ZIP
6. Select the THS Jelly Bean ROM CM10
7. Reboot.
