I am a total noob. So please dont get angry or anything, okay?
Upload Mode is the same as Recovery mode, right? Vol Up + Home + Power..?

Even the great Slug, ironass and Shotgun84 were noobs once, so dont worry.
You're on AF now, not XDA

Umm, I can get into recovery. The touch thingy is pretty cool.
But, when I start up Odin v1.85 the 1st box doesnt turn yellow. I have been waiting for a minute and its just blank. I know, for a fact that my phone has Debugging enabled.. So, any idea what might be wrong??
Thanks again,
You guys are the best.

PRAISE THE LORD.
I realised I had to be in the Download Mode to be able to use Odin. I just flashed the Siyah-v2.6.14 and my phone is alright now..
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH.

Odin is not turning yellow because you are in Recovery.
To connect to Odin you need to be in Download as per Hawker's post...

just installed .7b on omega ics rom, wifi is already 10x better than on the CF kernel on the rom, heres hoping to a good battery life
Omega rom with siyah's latest makes it very very very good. Battery life is superb as well. 85% at 9 hours.

I guess I'll do the honours again 
Siyah v3 RC1 is out! That's right the first official version of Siyah ICS is available to download at gokhanmoral's site! Exciting times ahead!
Changelog:
- used lights.exynos4.so which supports both Samsung and CM9 ROMs (thanks to myfluxi for making necessary modifications on it for CM9 part)
- added back BLN support for CM9 based ROMs.
- fixed touch screen sensitivity problem while charging
- fixed CPU scaling problem and sleep-of-death issues with screen-scaling (script or SetCPU) (thanks to Entropy512 to find the main reason of the problem. I have modified my code based on his patch and removed my previous workarounds)
- ondemand governor is ondemandx now (it has a default screen-off profile with upper limit of 500MHz, configurable with ExTweaks app)
- J4FS module (thanks to hardcore). I think Hellcat has an app in the market to let you change boot logo and that app needs this module to mount /mnt/.lfs
- battery and performance defaults for uci.sh interface. the defaults are located in /res/customconfig folder. you can either copy them over /data/.siyah/default.profile or use “kernel specific options” menu in the recovery to select one of them as the active profile.
- fixed MTP. It will work both on Samsung and CM9 now.
- a new, hotplug aware governor… I didn’t test it much but the code seems good. The only negative issue I noticed so far is that it is from Samsung (thanks to AndreiLux@XDA for giving the heads up)
- MIUIv4, cMIUI and AdyScorpiusMIUI support. (not fully tested though)
- Added auto-install of ntfs-3g binary and we are back to XZ compression because of this addition, but with -1 flag to have fastest xz decompression.
Edit: In addition, the changelog for v3 RC2 is out:
- fixed touchkey lights staying off in CM9
- fixed proximity sensor initialization problem (that battery sucking red little light near camera)
- fixed the problem that prevents some zip files to be flashed in CWM Recovery
- changed battery and performance defaults a little
- added Entropy512′s fix to prevent cpu0 to be hotplugged
- SLUB again
- fixed sdcard issue with HydrogenICS
Sounds all good!

rc2 is up.
if you are on rc1 flash rc2 immediately.
the only experimental change is touch sensitivity while charging.
other than that everything should be better.

flashed via odin? or via cwm?
cant find a complete instruction in flashing via cwm..tnx
Definitely Odin! For convenience, I use Mobile Odin; saves using a computer

Hi All,
I'm using that Omega ICS ROM a few threads up.. Will this be compatible with that and if so, can I just download it on my phone and install using CWM? I'm at work so don't have access to a PC with Odin on it.
Sorry - probably obvious question but knowing my luck, I'll brick the phone!!
