2 options, 1) you must be having a CWM, from that you can flash a Custom ICS rom
2) you can flash an official ICS rom from ODIN and root it.

Ok. This app will help u to root ur device.

And then go to the market and download Rom manager. This will help u with the clockwork recovery mod. Then in the above mentioned thread u will find the rom which ur looking for. Download it and copy it to ur device once that 's done go to rom manager flash clockwork mod and install the rom from sd card. And ur done after a quick reboot.

But I don't want to root my device
rooting ur device won't do any harm to ur device instead u will be the master of ur phone and not the slave. Anywho's u can unroot it later. If u have readed the thread for the root app. it can also unroot ur device.

Some questions regarding S2

Hello . First of all , excuse me for my noobish questions but i'm new to samsung and i have some elementary questions which i have not found using the search option.
My current firmware is 2.3.6 and I'm looking forward to flash it to ICS but i don't know which firmware to download . I flashed my friends phone (i9100p) to ICS and it worked but mine had a bootloop so i had to flash it back to my stock firmware (2.3.6) . Can somebody tell me what 4.x firmware is suitable for my phone because i do not know what "XWLP7" or "BVKL1" are.

My S2 has:
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100DDKE4
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
I want to upgrade the phone to latest STOCK JB for INDIA.
But couldn't find any solution or process and link to official STOCK ROMS for INDIA.
Please do tell me the actual process and do provide the link for STOCK JB ROM for INDIA.
I also read about the superbrick bug, could I be affected by this bug?
Thanks in advance

Pls do a search...there is answer for everything....
you can use the JB from other countries like Spain, Nordics etc....and use ODIN to flash these .... also, inm y knowldge there is no official JB for India.....
"please do tell the process politely" ---> what is that????

You can always search this forum for 'stock jb firmwares' like I did, and your questions would have been answered already!
The official jb update for india has not yet been released. But you can dowload firmwares from other regions (available in this forum or at sammobile.com) and flash using Odin..
AFAIK Superbrick bug only affects phones running leaked firmwares, like some 4.0.4 firmwares. If you're updating to an official firmware, there is little chance of being affected by this bug..
Sent from my SGS II
Actully the eMMc brick bug is only on 4.0.4 stock kernel and is only triggered by backup, restore, flash etc in stack Recovery. Bottom line, you don't ave to worry.
And you are flashing via Odin so there isn't any chance of bricking your phone by the brickbug.
