I´ve had some bad and scary experiences trying to move my GS2 from Illusion-ICS v1.0.1 XXLPB-I9100 (kernel 3.0.15-XXLPB-CL99600) to ICS 4.0.4 via CWM.
Can anyone point me to an Odin flashable ICS 4.0.4 compatible with my current rom?
thanks in advance
number of roms in dev section ,see which fits u...
I´ve been browsing for ages but they all seem to be CWM.
You are going to have to read every single rom post to find an Odin flash if their is such a custom rom ..
100 CWM flashed today no problem .
4-04 rom do you mean non Samsung rom as 4-04 is not a Samsung release .

Samsung did to start rolling out the 4.0.4 ICS.

I don't know where you get your information... latest Samsung stock firmwares are 4.0.3 still.
As of right now, the only 4.0.4 firmwares are AOSP or AOKP.
Cm9 got a special Odin ROM for people like you.

yes you can but have a look in the general forums and you most than likely find a rooted version of the rom there. or just wait till later on today to flash it when Intratech gets his hands on it and chainfire releases a rooted kernel if there is not one already...have a search
What is new after Intratech gets to it?

probably comes with a bootloader that will not cause any troubles to your phone..think that it is..anyway just look on general section and there is threads there with more explanation and download links were you can download the rom if you so badly want it mate and just ask there if kernel has already been rooted or just check chainfires thread for the latest kernel that is rooted
this is rooted kernel from chain fire for the LPJ

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 recieved the Jellybean update earlier this week and i'm not happy with it. It has slowed my phone to a great extent.
Is it possible to downgrade from Jellybean to ICS w/o ROOT ?

If you are just looking for the latest firmware for your phone you can use CheckFus to find and download it.

Interesting - 'cause you said "there is nothing there", which seems to contradict that you knew.
But anyways - JPKJ2 appears to be for the Middle East region. So if you care about having Middle Eastern languages, then stick to one from that region.
Otherwise, as long as your phone model is I9100, then it shouldn't matter what region the firmware comes from, as long as it is specifically for an I9100. Just make sure you don't use an I9100G firmware. Though, I have heard of people having issues with firmwares for the China region. I can't speak on that personally though, as I've never tried one.

ICS is not really a very good rom and I would recommend KK or JB
you should be good if you go from a GB firmware to a JB one
or if u want you could flash a custom kernel in odin and then flash a KK ROM like CM11 or Slimkat

can you give me some safe Rom that i can flash to my phone? or links?.
I'm searching but im afraid to use other ROm aside from GB.
thanks again Toby..

It`s very safe to flash Jellybean or Kitkat. Download the latest jellybean from sammobile and flash it with odin.. Look around for tutorials how to. Note that you will lose all your data, but your phone will 100% work. That brickbug was only on 4.0.4 version.. To be sure and safe flash jellybean and after that flash PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel. If you need more info, i`ll help you. Cheers!:good:
