Because i want to change to Cyanogen
Basically, I want to change it to the leaked version of ICS but do i have to Factory reset the phone install the leaked version of ICS and then install the Cyanogen Mod.. I just don't know how to go about doing it

Of course i was once a noob but one who thought that following the instructions would be better than bricking a phone and looking like a **** .Even worse would be posting on a forum and asking how only to be told read the instructions .
Not that you are alone it seems to be the norm for many noobs.

But the instructions are in the very first post of the CM9 thread. I find it hard to believe nothing came up.
EDIT: I'm not trying to be a ****, and I don't think JJEgan was either; but it's a frustrating thing to see a bunch of posts asking questions that are already answered - many times in the very first post of the thread that contains the subject matter the person is asking about. If the thread was read thoroughly, then why is the question being asked?

hey have any of you guys installed a custom roms on the SGS2 i have the phone rooted and i was contimplating installing a custom rom just wanted you guys information on how safe it is to do so. I was acutally looking for a nice ICS custom rom but apparently i would need one for my kernel(XWKL1). What would happen if i install a custom rom of ICS ment for a different kernel would it brick my phone?
thanks in advance for any information.

probably but you are better off reading and learning before bricking your phone
ICS is yet to be released but we do have a buggy leaked ICS test rom you need to know how to recover before flashing .

Yes it is safe if you know what you're doing and for you that means don't go anywhere near an ICS ROM try a Gingerbread ROM first but before you do that read and read and search and search.
Just practising my speed typing....
wow thanks for such a quick reply so for example if i were to install the Omega rom i would need to get one for my kernel version only right? Then if would need to revert all i need to do is flash my old insecure kernel back and i would be back.
edit: - i didnt see B3311 post. ok i am a lil confused now if i were to install a custom rom ment for a differnt kernel would it work or would i brick my phone?
Kernel version doesen't matter.

Search, Read, Backup and try. Everything you need to know is in the threads. Please read friend that is the only way you get to learn. Look at me. Been reading upon the threads once i had my galaxy s2 just before xmas and i have read upon two months before i got my phone. Now even though i only joined recently i know near enough what i need to do regarding as rooting and flashing roms and themes go. But i still search whenever i can for what i need before i have to ask questions. And most of the time it is right there infront of you. Also another thing if you think the search engine is crap on xda use google. Most of the times it gives you what you are looking for.
Not having a go but today mininum have been two three threads what rom is the best and what one to use and so on. Anyway good luck with the flashing and hope you enjoy whatever you choose

And the key to all the reading is that you are less likely to brick your phone more likely to be able to recover from problems.

True but even with all the reading at least you will feel more comfortable about going about and rooting the phone and flashing a rom. That way at least you do not have to expect others to spoonfeed the information to you. Also when you flash a rom for the first time you will feel great about yourself cause you did it all by yourself than asking others to help you. Hope that makes sense.. and to what you said also you have a great point and i always read your posts when you help people JJe as you are one helpful guy.
Hey, I just contacted Google and advised them to remove the Google search widget that comes standard on every android phone's home screen.
It useless I told them, nobody seems to even notice or use it. Heck, why search when you can just ask?
Still waiting for there reply.

to be clear i never asked which rom was the best and which one to use. I have been reading up on all the different roms available i have narrowed it down to the ICS and the Omega rom and i know how to flash the roms the instructions there are quite clear my only query was about the kernel version for which i could not find a solution. Now i have another question since you guys are saying the kernel version does not matter then why are they country specific and suppose i use a kernel ment for USA would that mean when ics finally got released here for the sgs2 i would need to reflash my phone with the gingerbread 2.3.6 version before i could get the official ICS update from kies?

let me make this clear. Different variants of the s2 hence why you see different forums. If you have an international version then you are safe to flash whatever you want in this forum here. So if you see USA version I would steer clear it as it has nothing to do with the international version if that makes sense. Regarding your other question well yes flash BBL to stock official ROM and that is it

The kernal is not related to country or carrier. The csc is.
Practically all custom roms come with working kernals and modems for the rom.
As for getting the official upgrade, you can reflash your original firmware, but most here just download the new official firmwares from the Intratech thread or sites like sammobile and flash it with Odin. No need for kies. I don't use it at all except for when I first got the S1 in 2010.

It's not possible. Many skillful developers are working hard to crack it, but Samsung's protection is just too hard to crack, it seems. If you somehow still find people, saying that it's possible, don't believe them, they are trying to trick you. All the existing "working" methods are just going to break your phone.
Ok, now on a serious note, it's possible, but I really wouldn't advise you to do that, regarding your... erm... "mental capabilities" in challenging situations.

why do you want to root do you know why you are rooting ???

No. If you flash I9100 firmware (rom or kernel) on your I9100G you will brick it. Try this thread.

It's nice to blast when you have the answers ... the forum is for questions ... even in the last few pages in your thread (as this is one of the latest builds) ... people are asking the same question on the version with no answers from you ... so that is why I asked the question.
If you were looking for a version and didnt know where to find it ... Im sure you would love getting a response like this? ... And I have flashed and rooted my tablet and sgs1 ... for this specific build on the s2 I didnt see it ... so perhaps if its not the biggest amount of brain-drain for you ... please could you provide a link maybe? ... It would others find it fast too ... you do have an extensive number of posts ... and a 1st page find for a new version just helps people looking for it .... what you think?
Me provide a link after that little tanty ? Um, how about no ? Not going to happen.

I actually have been searching on the build number and have not found any answer on it. I wouldn't have asked the question if I found the answer. Previously I have found all the answers for my tablet and sgs1 here with no need to ask as I could fine relevant version to flash them and root them. If I don't need to talk to anyone about it I wouldnt ... just with so many versions of phones even the sgs1, it is a risk to get hold of the wrong versions.
Anyway .. too much tıme and effort wasted already just writing the comments on this question. Thanks for showing interest

Hi .. yes I got it sorted (but not wıth the help or direction from the guys above) ... I now have the g version rooted and flashed (althought I have the yellow triangle on boot - Im not worrıed about that, root more ımportant). If you have pre v 2.3.6 then you can root it without using odin. Odin causes the triangle. If you have not udpated to yet and are on 2.3.5 or earlier let me know as there is ways to root and get the Clockworkmod Recovery loaded without using Odin, thus not increasing the binary counter.
I also have the international version which was pre 2.3.6 so I got that rooted etc all fine this way and then flashed it (from the internal SD to ICS 4.0.3 without increasing the counter).

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately my phone is brand new (1 day old) and I installed the latest Samsung OTA update already (stupid, I know) so I am on 2.3.6 with kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2 and build XXLB1.
I want to get an ICS ROM running ASAP but I'm only familiar with HTC phones and not Samsung root methods. I'm not sure if I can use SuperOneClick or if I have to use Odin (and which kernel to use?) ... there's a lot of info out there but it's really hard to find someone with my exact model/rev and I don't want to brick my new baby!
It sounds like I should use Odin, but could you explain what kernel you used when you rooted? Thanks very much!!
EDIT: Not sure this matters as far as which kernels I can flash, but my baseband is I9100GXXKL4.

Hi ... I had the same concerns ... 1 day old and how not to brick it ... In the end I just decided to go at it and get it sorted. I downloaded the following ROM to flash with ODIN (I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip) ... you can get it from hotfile.com (http://hotfile.com/dl/147046000/0697ece/I9100GXWKJ2_I9100GODDKJ2_INU.zip.html) ... I loaded it in Odin (phone in download mode) using the PDA option (if the zip has a password, just use the following as the password: samfirmware.com) ... completed and phone is back ... go back to download mode and get the following kernel (MyGKernelV1.1.1_CWM5 i9100G) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327509
Enjoy
just sharing on how we can remove the yellow triangle on boot of G s2..
>Assuming you have already rooted with any rooted kernel (ex: myGkernel/superatmos kernel)
>Run “HC-ktool”. Tap "Dump current kernel", then Tap "Reboot to Download Mode"
>When in Download Mode, start Odin, connect the phone and flash any stock Samsung kernel. Phone will reboot itself after that.
>Run “ktool” again Tap "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage" (zimage should be the zimage file of ur rooted kernel...copy this zImage in sdcard), then Tap "Reboot"...done
thanks for the info everyone, unfortunately i had issues with my gs2g (mp3 player skipping, gps not locking location well) and so i returned it. it's a beautiful phone but i thought it was too expensive for me to deal with any issues. now i'm hoping for the HTC one x soon! b
best wishes !
maybe its noob ,, but if i want to install ICS on my galaxy s2 .. do i have to flash a new kernel ??
+
before installing the ICS i want to backup the current ROM thats is Stock rom "company rom"
so i think i need to flash a kernel with cwm first then do a backup .. then flash ICS kernel then installing the ICS rom ??
Look at my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625184

Root is not needed kernel is part of the firmware .
Flash a stock Samsung rom from Stock rom thread or from posted ICS roms in General via Odin .
Alternative wait for your phones upgrade via KIES or use Checkfus to download firmware .
Root is only required if you are flashing a custom firmware that requires CWM and Root and most do .
jje
After installing kies ,,, a frimware update show up ,,
now i think its better to update the frimeware throw kies right ??
and is it possible to install ics with kies ??? or i need to flash costume kernel with CWM recovery !!
thanks in advance
ok
personally I would look at Chainfire topic on easy rooting etc, or you could use SuperOneClickRoot & then install any number of custom roms from the I9100 android development section here at XDA

A factory reset that could have been avoided by doing the account recovery procedure provided in the other thread.... But whatever. Enjoy your new phone.

Here's another self-important precious who also thinks only nice things should be posted because it's his thread.
At least he hasn't posted a pack of lies all day.
You should learn how to concoct slightly more plausible lies - think of all the time you could have saved instead of frantically editing your other posts.
And when you're done, spelling lessons would be useful.
Then I'll behav. Shud I?

Hi,
Im new to the rooting, and i have been searching google, youtube, this forum and probably everywhere to find answers to my questions, but im having a hard time to find out what will work with my verson. I have found ALOT of "how to" guides on root, but i feel they all go to quick and say install this and this and do that.. But im sitting and wondering WHAT is all this files, what do they do, and is this the correct way for my verson?
Im very confused
Info on my SGS2:
Android-verson: 4.0.3
Baseband verson: I9100XXLPQ
Kernalverson: 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505
What im interested to try is put a clean verson if ICS on my phone.
I also tried to follow a guide i found on galaxy2root for the ICS, but after unzipped the kernal file, i should have a .tar file but i just get a zImage.file. This will not open in Odin 1.85.
I had an iphone 4 that i got "jailbroken" and got that to work very good. So i can do things like this, but i really like to know what im doing before i start.
I hope i dont get fried for probably asking this for the 100000000 time, but as i said, i tried to search everywhere, but im just so confused, so if anyone could point me in the correct direction i would be very happy.
Regards Alpejohn86

Go back to that forum and read the instructions this is XDA or at least ask them they posted it '

Hi again,
I got the phone rooted, and working fine.
But having some problems with installing the custom rom.
I follow the guide, and do everything it says, after its finish installing (that takes ca one minute, and it should take more then five?) it says everything is good. And i restart, get the yello triangle and the screen goes black, now its supposed to boot, but it stays black.
Cant understand what i did wrong
I got the phone restored, so it works now but i really want to try the pure ics rom
Regards Alpejohn86
which is the ROM you are trying to install?
Its called "Pure ICS ROM for Rooted Galaxy S2! [i9100]"
I cant post link to it, but i followed a guide on galaxys2root com
And thats where i found the rom to.

Why are you taking a rom from forum A but going to another forum to ask how to fix it .
That makes no sense at all who knows what stupid instructions you have been given .
Flash a rom from XDA and follow the instructions posted on XDA .

my friend you wont get support for such ROMs which are not from XDA..
there are plenty of ROM on XDA developers site : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204
select any of them and follow the instruction....
How can i know thats a different "place" ?
As you probably understod a long time ago, im a newbe noob.
You cant expect me to know all this, thats why im here in the first place.
I understand that it anoying when people like me come here and ask questions thats been asked before, im active in a bmw forum and know all about stupid questions, but you guys are the experts at this, im not.
I was not sure if i wanted to ask on xda at all, after seeing the video. It made it sound like its not legal to come here and ask stupid questions.
But, thanks for the info, i will check the roms on xda.
Alpejohn86
Welocome & goodluck
Thanks ZACQ8
Maybe you guys can answer a question, i have now installed a rom from the XDA forum, and its called F1-Galaxy Nexus (i think), its a clean ICS rom.
But im missing the Notes and the file manager, and i think there are som other apps thats missing to. The description said this should be exactly like the Nexus, but i would think the Nexus also have the Notes app?
Other than that, it works great!

You can find apps here https://play.google.com/store
I know that, but i would like to have the Notes that comes with android so i can sync my backup from the computer.
What notes that comes with Android? There isn't one.
If you mean the notes app which comes with Samsung ROMs, you need to have a read what AOSP is.
Oh, so the Notes is something that Samsung put on there? If so, then i understand why its not there. Thanks!
