Hi guys, after a little patience I'm now very interested in ics upgrade.
My s2 runs kk5 stock rooted cause I don't wanna miss features like mhl tv-out.
So my doubts are:
Is possible to flash kp8 with mobileodin?
What about bootloader? Jig still working?
To switch back to kk5 restore nand backup is enough or also other needs to be downgraded?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Jussy.

Then i suggest you wait until it officially comes out rather than flashing a leaked version that isn't finished. Until it comes out you can read the faq's on here and familiarize yourself with flashing.
The current ics leaks and cm9 are both not really ready to be daily drivers due to instability and missing features, only try if you know what you are doing, if you are use you want to try, make sure to take a nandroid and read the relivent threads.

Thanks for your fast and kind reply.
I'll wait for a stable release.
I have KK5 stock and rooted using cfroot kernel with the old jig compatible bootloader as my favourite firmware.
I also have been using cm9 which I like a lot. The missing features and bugs don't effect my daily usage.
I never flashed the ics bootloader and never experienced any problems.
I made a backup of kk5 via CWM and flashed cm9 then gapps then faceunlock then wiped as directed in cm9 1st post. Setup my phone how I wanted it then when I was happy with everything I made a backup via CWM of cm9.
Ive been restoring either KK5 or cm9 via CWM and so far not had any hassles flipping between them.
When I want to checkout a new version of cm9 ive been able to restore my CWM backup of cm9 then flash New version then flash gapps then faceunlock then wipe cache. This has not wiped my cm9 setup and data and all has been good to use. No FC etc.
Hope this helps.

Hi every to every one i recently upgrade my SGS2 to ICS 4.0.3 but i found it full of bugs, i mean a lot, (by the way wait until the official release from samsung, thas my opinion) like the non data network miss
My question is, is it safe to downgrade the Phone to GINGERBREAD?
Gosh i love this page
Yes its safe, just make sure to properly install a Gingerbread rom. Next time, just make a backup before installing a new rom so thats its easier to revert back to old rom.
By properly you mean official? Also any gingerbread like 2.3.6? And not the phone stock firmware.

You can check if you have made a back up by going into Rom Manager, manage and restore backups, have a check in their. If you have made a back up the just restore using that back up.
The CWM just gave me the finger XD i do a clean install of the ICS just in case but dont occurred to me to do a backup

search on the original android dev forum in here for the stock roms, download whatever you want to downgrade and flash with odin you will be back to GB 2.3.6 or lower if you want to

I have one rom manager PRO and i tried to check if avaiable new update but still not yet but im afraid that rom manager wont work or maybe coming too much delay?
Someone could please explain me about it?

in short, CM7 is based off Gingerbread and CM9 is based off ICS. If you want ICS, flash CM9 or one of the other roms in the dev section(s).

You need to read around a LOT more.
First off, don't use ROM Manager on a Galaxy S2.
Second, no, there is no version of 4.0.3 for CM7 because cm7 itself is 2.3.7. What you want is CyanogenMod 9.
EDIT: Ninja'd! That took me much longer to type than I thought it did. :S
Has anyone mentioned to you that you need cm9 for ics?
Oh there it is.

You can use TB to backup apps and data. Just remember when you're restoring apps on your new rom, DO NOT restore system apps/data. It will royally screw things up. The best course of action would be to manually select which games/apps to restore with data. The rest of your apps you should just redownload from the Play Store.
As for ROM Manager, it can just mess things up on this phone. You don't need it though...you can do everything you need to do with CWM Recovery or Mobile Odin.

Also, should he not follow the basic instructions for first time flashers so he can undo whatever the hell the Chinese dude did?

@matt,
I thought ROM Manager still works perfectly for any CyanogenMod ROM, CM7 or CM9. It's just highly recommended NOT to use with any other ROM that not-CM.
@OP, I strongly suggest you spend much more time reading and make sure you understand the whole process of making the CM9 on your device. In fact, it will save you more time than just keep flashing it, bricking it and hunting for help.

For cm7 it was okay for downloading but not flashing as i understood it but cm9 can make full use of it. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

If you already have a kernel with ClockworkMod, you don't need to worry about flashing one before flashing CM9.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Nandroid backup.
2. Download latest CM9 and GAPPS
3. Do a full wipe in ClockworkMod
4. Flash CM9 in ClockworkMod
5. Flash GAPPS in ClockworkMod

you know what ROM manager is?
ITS A GUI INTERFACE FOR CWM
you can boot into CWM directly and do anything that ROM manager can do except download the rom....
we have stickies outlining all this stuff already, not sure why thats a totally new concept for folks these days
Hi guys, I'm sorry to bother you but I couldn't manage to find the answer neither in the forum or through Google.
So I'm currently using CheckROM v6 on my phone with latest N.E.A.K. kernel for GB, and I wanted to upgrade my phone to a ICS build. I would have waited for CR v7 but that's been in-developing for so long I actually stopped waiting
Long story short, the Hydra H2O v1.4 caught my attention; my question is: since I'm coming from GB, do I have to perform any particular step before upgrading, such as making a clean Stock ICS install from Odin, or can I just perform a deep clean of my phone, then install the .zip through CWM?
Thanks beforehand for any helpful answer

i9300 is the international phone, so yes.
The installled ROM, kernel and baseband are irrelevant if you want to change ROM.

Any recommendation stable and fast ROM for me?
Another question if I want to flash to OMEGA 7.0 ROM can I just simply flash from my phone setup now : IMM76D.I9300XXALF6? Because ROM OMEGA 7.0 they use Based on XXALF5...Should I downgrade to XXALF5 then flash rom to OMEGA 7.0 or I can straight away flash base on my current setup?
Still learning and learning and learning and learning....Please don't dont giveup teaching me...hehehe...
Read and follow directions of the Rom you choose. Make sure you do backup first then,if you don't like it you can go back or flash another. Runs are pretty subjective and cater for a variety of tastes so hard to recommend one. Most want super fast with best battery life but there is a trade off

You should always factory-reset when changing Rom's.
It thus doesn't matter what ROM and version you come from and go to.

I'm still running ALE8 with Siyahkernel. Works great after a few customizations and tweaks applied as found here in the forum. Most ROM's have trade-off's (e.g. they want to slim it down and remove libraries or features I consider worth it)
You won't see a real performance difference between Samsung-based ROM's.
Actually you _WILL_ see a difference at the beginning since your phone is then again factory-new without lots and lots of apps and background services.

Hey there,
I'm currently using a Galaxy S2, which is running stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 (no updates available through OTA nor Kies)
Baseband version: I9100XXKI1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
And now I would like to get CM9 on my phone. Although I read quite a lot of threads and tutorials, I still have some
unanswered questions left.
Of course I would like to get onto CM9 in the fastest (and safest) way possible, but I'm not really sure how I would accomplish this.
Is it rather better (or even possible) to just go from 2.3.4 directly to CM9? Could I first root it using insecure kernel or CF-Root and then use CWM Recovery to flash CM9? And would this process actually flash all the necessary things, like the correct firmware, kernel and bootloader?
Or should I use Odin to flash it to stock ICS first and then just follow the official full update guide from the Cyanogenmod Wiki (because it is written with the requirement of stock ICS running on the phone) ?
Please help me out with this, I'm thankfull for every answer that I get :laugh:
Follow the noob-proof instructions on the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20841817 , and you can jump to cm9 from your current firmware, no need to go to stock ics first.

Just another question, as far as I understood it I don't need to root before applying the Resurrection Edition of CM9, right?

No. It already includes CWM recovery. After you flash it, boot to CWM and flash the last cm9 update + gapps, wipe data/cache and reboot.
Make sure you put the .zip files on your sdcard first
Great thanks!
This seems to be easy as it can get
Oh and just one more thing, should I do a backup of some sorts? Just a little bit unsure, because then I would have to root first, do a backup and then would be able to the whole CM9 thing (I don't know if the rooted kernel could somehow interfere with the Resurrection Edition later on)

Yeay, just flashed my phone and everything worked out smoothly and perfect, didn't have any problems at all
(I also didn't do a factory reset, is it necessary to that? Because right now there isn't any data left from before and I'm also not experiencing any problems whatsoever, so not really sure if I should do it and what it would do)
Thanks to everyone who posted here and helped me to finally flash my phone :good:

I'm not sure, but i think the NOOB proof method you used already wiped your data in the flashing process. So there is no need for you to do it again
