if you want cm9 then go here

Download the
CM9 Resurrection Edition for use with Odin
that is simplest
or if you need stock ICS firmware use any ICS firmware LP7 or LP8 flash with idon read some thread you will understand every thing
Welcome to XDA and Galaxy S2 users. The Roll Up Sticky thread should be your starting point. Apart from that , the ICS Rom thread should get you starting on stock ICS roms. Once you are comfortable with these you can explore Android development and custom Roms forum.
Good luck.

Second you need to learn to search this question is asked ten thousand times already .
Third if you had read the faqs and guides you would have a clue .
.
As said stickies faqs etc links posted .
Stock ICS in General thread and in stock rom thread .
BUT as you know nothing why not update via official Samsung KIES method you are less likely to brick your phone .

Thank you all for the feedback. I have been around the net long enough to understand how things work, but I thought that I would ask to see if I could get pointed in the right direction. Thank you all very much.

Search is your friend. I found it by searching the forum for "development vs original development".

BACK UP YOUR EFS folder is critical .

JJE's post is probably the best answer your going to get in a long time on here have a read through them before you get the phone make sure you know what your doing before you do it and his last bit of info is brilliant. after you have rooted grab nitrality and back up your efs lots of people having it mess up of late.
Greetings!
I am hoping to get some assistance on my problem with my gs2.
My gs2 is from Korea. it is an m250k version running gingerbread (rooted). My question is, have you guys tried updating it to a custom ics rom? I am really hoping to go through but I am hesitant because I have read a lot of people having bricked their devices.
Where would be the best place for me to start? Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.

You might get more help if you post your question in the Q&A section and not General post.
If a phone rings and it's not an Android, does anyone care?

I tried. I tried looking for answers there for hours. But there's just so many information there that has had me confused. I can't find a direct answer.
What I want to know is how I can convert my m250k to i9100. then apply an ICS.
I already have my phone rooted. I just don't know what to download next and how to apply it exactly.
Thank you all.
Me Too. After so many hours of searching, I want a guide to convert this koreon into i9100
Hello all,
It's been quite a while I have been searching around for the correct procedure on how to root my S3 LTE Hong Kong version [I9305ZHALI2], but either the information is confusing or the procedures exist for Windows or for the US versions of the phone only.
Can anybody please point me to the right direction and let me know where to find the right procedures to follow to root the phone and install CWM and Pandoriam ROM?
This is my first decent Android phone and I have never rooted anything before, so I would like to make sure I don't scr*w up
Thank you in advance!
This is for I9300. There is a sub forum for I9305s. Search on google for root i9305 and you'll get a post explaining how to do it.

I actually tried, but as a beginner I find it confusing, so I was hoping to find a more detailed guide on the forum.
However, thanks for the reply, from which I can assume that rooting I9305 is kind of "universal" and does not depend on the country?

ask in the correct forum
Root is posted in original development .
Guides and Faqs are stickied in General .
MAC i would search out the few MAC posts probably asking the same question .

Hi guys,
i know most of you are thinking now why i dont search or google or something else but really i cant do anything about this.
I am new to flashing and rooting and i rooted my s3 ella i9300 version with the samsung toolkit v 7.0 via odin.
Now i would like to instlall this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106471&nocache=1
But srsly, there is no good tutorial for newbies. i cant understand why the developers never try to help us noobs in such situations like this.
So please can anyone help me out? I went into the download section of the ROM but there are so many files i dont know which to take and download...
Thanks in advance
Full instructions are on the website, linked in the OP of the slim thread which you no doubt read

Yes but you would be better not flashing that rom . But spending time reading the basics first as you are lacking in even the first steps .
Noobs are expected to read first flash last this is a developers forum for developers . Those that don't bother to learn the basics are not going to be spoonfed .
So seriously you read the posted stickied faqs and guides or suffer a bricked phone your choice .

Hi all, ok its been a very long time since i rooted my sg3 , ok i have an s3 locked to vodafone and is running rom 4.1.2 baseband I9300XXEMG4, So is this normal verizon/sprint phone and yes im in the UK.
What i need to no is can somebody post a link to me and the latest easier way to root my S3 Please, sorry to have forgotton the whole thing but its been ages since i last rooted,
Also are there any latest sound boosting hacks that are available now ?
And finally sorry for posting in wrong section to the admin if i have.
Hope to get some help very soon.
Thankyou from Brian.
Makes no sense, this forum is for the i9300 international -if you have a sprint then you'll brick it with files from this forum.
Suggest you go read the sticky thread in general, rather than posting questions already asked a thousand times.
Start by finding out what phone you have .
Details are under the battery .
If it is an I9300 then all the information is posted .
Basics read first.

Oh i am of the same opinion your question made no sense as sprint verizon is USA and therefore would be in the wrong forum .Likely you would brick the phone if asking for
information here would be extremely high if that was the case and you suggest you have Vodaphone UK phone but ask about some other model .

I didn't intend any sarcasm, I don't want you to brick your phone but I'm not going to type information you can find for yourself in just a few moments.
