I'm coming from att's SG3 and I know the Verizon version is different. My confusion is in the guide. The first section uses Odin to flash 4.1 Jelly Bean and section 2 uses the debug to flash ICS. I want to flash cleanrom, so does it matter if I use Odin for 4.1 or the debug to root my stock 4.0 rom?

Cleanrom already rooted, so you don't need to go back to ICS to root.

Yep just follow section 2...that section is for folks on stock ICS.

Section 1 is for folks who feel the need to odin back to stock, but want to upgrade to jellybean in the process. I suggest if you ever want to upgrade to jellybean download a recovery flashable version and flash in cwm after completing section 2. This way you will never trip the flash counter(not that its a big issue as you will just have to download the app triangle away to reset it).

*I plan on revising the guide to make things a bit more clear on which root method to use. Im just waiting for the OTA to drop before making any major changes.
