I have my s2 rooted with the stock Samsung Gingerbread ROM. I think ICS is now available through Kies but not for me because I'm rooted.
Where can I download the latest stock Samsung ICS ROM (is it called AOP)?
Thanks.
try sammobile.com or androidadvices.com

Even your flashing is done via Kies or Odin, you need to re-root your device. ChainFire supports rooting for stock ICS.

Hi,
Is Samsung KIES still usable after I update firmware using ODIN (and after I revert back to stock firmware). Thanks !
revert to stock rom and Kies
Dear cypherlwind,
Yes it is possible to use kies after reverting to a stock rom.
Keep in mind that it needs to be a official samsung stock rom.
See the following links to obtain a stock rom:
Official stock roms on xda:

In order to update via kies the phone needs to have a stock combination of stock firmware, so a kernel, rom, csc and modem that shipped together, rather than mix and match.

I would stay away.
Hi,
I am new to flashing firmwares. I needed to ask few questions regarding flashing firmware on my i9100 running on stock ROM (I9100XXKI3) . My device is not rooted and is running stock. I wanted to update it on ICS via odin. But currently there are only beta releases by samsung. As my device is stock hence I can only flash it via Odin.
My question is that can i flash Litening ROM v1.1 (Based on latest leaked ICS) directly on my device using ODIN?
As it is the only ROM that is flashable using ODIN and running quite stable as per reviews.
Secondly will i be able to revert back to any stock ROM via odin to remove the yellow triangle that appears upon flashing an in secure kernel?
Looking forward to help from you guys.
Thanks

Yo're right, sammobile removed all ICS leaked Roms from the firmware page.
Lightning rom 1.1 is Odin package so you can download and flash it..
Download Stock rom for your region so that yo can flash it, if you want to revert back.. and yes it will remove yellow triangle from your phone
Thanks
I just tried flashing Litening ROM v1.1 via odin. Got stuck at factoryfs.img. Waited for 15min. nothing happened. Now restarted the phone and its working fine. The firmware is not updated. Can anyone tell me the solution?

You may lose your genuine ICS upgrade path via KIES flashing custom rom .

My Galaxy S II right now is running the Gingerbread 2.3.5 XXKI3 build. What files/firmware do I need to flash ICS on it without any problems? What is the best version of ICS for the GSII right now (Official by the way.)? It is not rooted by the way.
I had problems originally on flashing ICS because it was stuck on the "factoryfs.img" or something like that on Odin.
And can someone give me instructions where to put these files on Odin.

Be absolute sure that you got i9100 not the i9100G.
Download the firmware again flash using Odin. Try any of the newer ics roms

Good luck .
Downloaded the XXLPQ version. My S2 is the i9100 btw. I checked everything. The box. At the bottom of the battery. All refer i9100.
I'll try Hydrogen when this works well.

better you read more before flashing
guides and FAQs
no offence to post above but please first flash stock ics using odin and wip using *2767*3855#
To my knowledge i'm pretty sure you can use the stock ICS of any release of i9100, on any other phone, unless the release is carrier specified
my warning though is this if you install a i9100 release, on a i9100T you will have to flash the modem, if that does apply to you i suggest the LP6 modem
hope that helped
I have a rooted GT-I9100 with baseband XXKI4 and Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKJ2. The CSC is given as OJPKJ1 (XSG).
As it is rooted I needed to flash one of the custom ICS offerings. Does it matter which one or can I choose any one of them on offer? Please advise.
Thanks

first read the changelog of all those custom ics roms and see the diff in them and choose the one which fits ur need and flash the same
If you want to flash a (modified) firmware through CWM, then check out the wanamlite website or his thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292825)
If you want to flash a pure stock firmware, then find one at SamMobile and use Odin to flash in download mode. You can find instructions on this if you do a search. This method does not require root.
Can i still use software update from the stock rom after flashing it from custom rom?
If its OTA abailable, you can

he is asking about stock roms. No you cant get samsung updates if you are on custom roms. You will have to flash a stock rom again to unroot and get official updates
errrrr.....
If you are on a stock ROM you'll get software updates.
If you are on a branded stock ROM you'll get a branded software update.
If you are on a unbranded stock ROM you'll get unbranded software update from samsung.
If you are on a custom ROM you won't get a stock software update.
If you are on a leak stock ROM you won't get a software update from any kind.
If you don't read about how to flash a ROM and you will not get any software updates of any kind, because you might have brick your phone.
