C.Golden pearls (must read newbies)

-PC odin is safest method for flashing stock ROMs
-Flashing stock ROM/Kernel wont raise flash counter,just flashing custom stuff cause it.
-Never never perform wipe from recovery OR factory reset (any method) on ICS stock ROMs
-If you prefers stock ICS ROM, it is advisable to use safe kernel, Philz kernel is same like stock kernel + emms erase cap command disable + CWM, find it from rooting guide. OR you can have custom kernel which have emmc erase command disable (find above 'custom kernel' link)
-If you have wipe / reset device on ICS, and you escaped from brick, dont make it habits. it happens once in while, and you were lucky just. Also avoid such statement on forum, as it can misguide others.
-Triangle away appl is for reseting counter, works only on ICS and only if your device is live.
-Triangle away app should be keep as last resort and should not use as routine procedure, many user taking short cut and flash anything with PC odin with hope it will be coreected with triangle away, but before flashing something goes wrong then become hopeless, as TA works only device is live. then crying for reseting counter to reclaim warranty. so change attitude.
-While flashing ROM, stuck at factoryfs or data.img is bad sign, immidiately should seek for expert guidance rather trying this and that.
-Dont use pit file or bootloader in normal flashing,if you are not knowing wat is use of that then don't use it. That is useful to unbrick device and should be use only under experts advise.
-Once you are rooted, first thing require to do is make backup of efs folder (see above for tool). This is useful when something goes wrong with your device and you lose your IMEI.
-It is not safe to restore system data(junk) from titanium backup (red colored), best option to restore after changing ROM is 'Restore missing application', after that manually check whether that contains any system application of previous ROM, if it is there deselect it from restoring list.
-Incase something goes wrong, and device gets bootloop/stuck, don't b panic and dont do this n that randomly if you don't have any idea. Just post your query and wait till.someone address you.

This is established now
Stock recovery is not safe. This is open 4 all to talk, no need to change
Just to add, only wiping and restting is risky on ICS, normal using wont carry any risk.
