If you're on Unnamed, you already have CWM, so all you need to do is reboot to recovery, then follow the steps given in the Hellraiser post.
Keep in mind - this is in essence a "mod" for I9100 ROMs that lets them run on our device - it's not a "mod" for Unnamed or any other I777 stock-derived ROM. You could flash it on Unnamed, but it'll do nothing because it replaces files with ones that are already there.
Since you are worried about bricking, you may want to stick with ROMs that are confirmed working in the Hellraiser thread, such as SensatioN or VillainROM. (CheckROM Revolution has been used but some people report wifi problems.) The only way to hardbrick one of our devices is to flash a bad bootloader, so if the ROM has no bootloaders (It is very rare for ROMs to include these), you basically can't permabrick.
thanks a lot, can you tell me where i can find the sensation rom?

you can find it in the Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Forum in Android Development, there will be a post, just like how you got unNamed except in a different forum..
I'm going to add links to ROMs I've tested later.
ok so i found sensation rom, i went into cwm did a backup, then wipe/factory reset. Installed sensation from my sd card. right before i was about to flash sensation i got a call and notice i couldn't here anything. could this because I'm using a I9100 ron on a sgh-i777? Helppp I'm half way to hell i don't want to go back to unnamed
also when i flash in Rommanager do i flash as a att sg2 or i9100?
Flash in CWM, don't use ROM Manager. Use the three-finger trick from the CWM kernel thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823 - the procedure for entering CWM is the same for ALL CWM kernels for our device.
And how did you get a call while in recovery? You're supposed to flash the ROM, then flash Hellraiser without rebooting out of recovery. In your case, you should be able to just go back into recovery and flash Hellraiser. SensatioN might include an older CWM version (4.x), but that should still be able to flash Hellraiser.

did you read anything in the hellraiser thread? or anything in this thread for that matter?
hellraiser is a MOD to make the i9100 rom work....if you didnt flash it after flashing the rom, then your flash is INCOMPLETE
you shouldnt be using ROM Manager at all either....you need to do some reading here

I've spent the last 2 days trying to fix my mistake. I have the GS2 ATT version, and I didn't realise there was a difference between that and the GTI9100 S2.
I wanted to give some tips I learned on how to recover your phone if you make this mistake.
First, here are some posts you'll want to look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 - Stock firwmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823 - Clockworkmod for the ATT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286192 - Cyanogenmod for our phones.
Using Odin and the stock firmware, you can recover your phone to a 95% working state. Once I got my stock firmware on there, I found that while making calls my phone made no sound, and the mic didn't work. The mic did work when I wasn't making calls though.
I reflashed the modem.bin file found on the stock firmware, not sure if its required but that is what I did first. Then, I unpacked the rooted stock firmware, and flashed JUST THE zImage file. After doing this, I rebooted, and my calls were working again.
After that, I installed the correct version of Clockworkmod, and then CM7 nightly. Now everything seems to be running great on my phone.
Hope this helps someone out there,

Those are NOT for our version of the GS2, International only. Our version is here in the development forum.

Yes, it will return a status error 7 which means it's unmatched. Ask me how I know. I flashed international roms last night and used this fix to get me good again.
I flashed a KE7 I9100 build to my I777 and saw no ill effects other than incorrect capacitive button mapping. Which build did you flash? Did you make sure to wipe data factory reset afterwards.
So you are saying that you wre able to flash Euro ROMS and your phone booted just fine? Mine didnt boot at all. Did you flash the KERNEL for ATT on top of it ?

The simple thing would be to change out the sec_touchkey.kl with rootexplorer and take the sec_touchkey from system/usr/keylayout should fix the i9100 rom to work with the i777. Seeing as how this worked for the Captivate *i897* for jvr, jvs, and jvt darkyrom releases and I would assume that it would work.

Personally I would think that you had a bad flash? Did you flash through Odin or CWM? From what I have been reading the gb bootloaders between the i777 and i9100 are different and I can see if you used a custom i9100 rom flashing via cwm could cause that. Since I am not too sure on the sgs2 if the differences between the euro models versus the carrier locked, the Kernel will not fix the button mapping, I learned this with the captivate when I switched over to using DarkyRom jvr and jvs builds since they were the most stable of GB for the i897 captivate. Plus if you are going to run a i9100 rom, I am sure the modem will not work with the att kernel. Especially if the situation with the cappy is any indication that att kernel needs att modem and i9000 kernel needs i9000 modem. I will be able to know more as soon as I get my i777 tomorrow.
HTH,

Did the same thing and made it back to ATT version and running CM7 for now. Still have an I9100 boot screen with a yellow logo. How do I get rid of that?
SO why do you say this flashes you back to 95%? Is there no 100% return to stock fix?

Some people need to wipe or also flash the modem for 100%.
Also, people who managed to flash a bootloader without hardbricking can't get back to stock with any confirmed method.
I have posted bootloader dumps, but no one has flashed them and I'm not messing with trying to flash them. They are dumps from my device and that is the ONLY guarantee I provide for them.

i messed up and flashed an i9100 rom and am having the call prob u described. can i just flash the modem or stock rooted kernel and be back to 100%? if so do i use odin and do i need to check the box for repartition or anything like that? thx in advance!!!
Im new to the whole SGS2 so needed a little help ive rooted my Galaxy and its on UK 2.3.5 stock rom my question is can i flash any rom i choose or is it like when rooting it when i had to get a kernel that matched.
The other thing is, is it worth buying Odin Mobile.
Cheers
Once you root your phone and have CWM recovery and not the stock one you can flash any ROM you choose.It has nothing to do with kernels but each ROM is based on a firmware so you should match your firmware to a ROM based on the same to start with and if you choose to stay with the same ROM then there are non-wipe ROMs that can be flashed over top without worries.Just be sure you read properly the install/flash instructions.Some ROMs need Odin to be flashed but most just need to be pasted to your internal-SD and then flashed in recovery mode.Ill leave a link below to my ROM where there is an instruction guide so you can read it to see what I mean.

It depends on how you have rooted ...... if as mentioned above you have CWM (means you have flashed a custom/insecure stock kernel) just flash a ROM with CWM Recovery like any ZIP but i'd advise you to reset the phone before that .... since you are on Stock ROM which is Odexed and all custom ROMs are deodexed you might end up in a bootloop also may i suggest CheckROM as it is simple to install and highly customizable thus i recommend this as your first flash......

Hey. So, I bought the Samsung galaxy s2 with bell as soon as it was released (august 2011) and i expected there to be potential updates along the way, since it came stocked with android 2.3.3.
HOWEVER, bell, being its lazy self, haven't pushed the official updates for its i9100M modeled gs2. And I've gotten really bored with the TouchWiz UI, and was wondering how i would go about installing CyanogenMod's CM9 ICS on my UNROOTED STOCK Galaxy s2.
Phone information:
Model: GT-i9100M ( android 2.3.3) (un-rooted)
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
Any help would be much appreciated. thank you
Go search on google or here in the forums how to root the gs2 and install a custom recovery. Then go and flash the recovery and go to the CM9 link and download it and put it in your sd card. Then you can reboot into recovery by pressing volume up, home and power. Then follow the guide posted in the CM9 post by wiping data, etc. let the rom boot up and you've got cm9! I have a bell gs2 unlocked on Rogers running cm9 so feel free to ask me questions haha

Choose a ROM that is meant for your model of phone.
First thing you should do is check your phone's model number. It will be printed on the label underneath your battery.
If it says GT-i9100, GT-i9100T, GT-i9100P, or GT-i9100M then you're in the right place. Just make sure NOT to use any ROMs from the I9100G subsection.
If it says GT-i9100G, MAKE SURE you ONLY use ROMs from the I9100G subsection, and not from any of the other subsections.
If it says anything else, you're in the wrong Galaxy SII forum (there are several).
First off, do your research. Don't rely on other people to tell you what ROMs to flash, or anything like that. Go read through a few threads on how to root the device, how to flash a custom kernel and a custom ROM. Once you think you've got that, start trying out different ROMs and kernels. Just make sure to stick away from any ROMs that have in their title "LQ5" and you'll be fine -- no brick.
A few recommendations...
ROMs:
CyanogenMod 9 (my personal favourite)
ParanoidAndroid
Resurrection Remix ICS
Kernels:
SiyahKernel
N.E.A.K. ICS
Fluxi ICS

hi...its me again....successfully flash CMD9 ROM on my phone....i do a back up in CWM ....if i want to flash back to the oroginal stock ROM...
can i just go back to CWM and do a restore or do i need to use ODIN to flash using the stock ROM...
You should be able to just go into CWM & restore your backup if the backup is of the (rooted, I presume) stock rom.
There is a thread of official stock roms that are flashable with odin so maybe you can check that place out?
Ok...Yep im a newbie and yep ive looked in the forums but im getting confused..
Phone :Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100 running 4,0.4 kernal version XWLPT.
Ive rooted the phone using the method 1 on this guide.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Now im looking to install cyanogenmod but i dont want a bricked phone so was wondering if anyone cleverer then me can give me a quick guide of how to install as all of the guides are getting confusing lol
Cheers for you help in advance...
Now that you have rooted your phone, you can install CWM. CWM (short for ClockworkMod) is a custom recovery menu which allows you to install any custom ROM packaged as a zip file. Refer to part 2 in the tutorial you followed to install CWM. I'd also flash another kernel such as Siyah (thanks to gokhanmoral) to make sure you can't brick your phone. That stock kernel you have is dangerous and you must get rid of it before doing the data wipe required to install CM.
Once you've done that, grab a CyanogenMod build and install it from the CWM recovery. You should of course place the zip file on your internal storage first. Make sure to follow the instructions here.
By the way, there's a "Q&A" section for this device, so please try to ask your questions there, they should get answered faster and by more people if you do that.
Cheers tydem..i thought the kernel in mine was prone to bricking...ill flash the one that you recommeded and see how it goes
