I want to install ICS ROM any of it.. But i heard i need to install a ICS kernel.. Doesnt the ROMs hav it?? Can anybody give a clear explanation?
All the roms have got kernel within the flashing package either on the official or custom roms
But I m GB so many ppl told me to flash an ICS kernel.. Is it necessary?? Only flashing the ROM is enough?/

Come on dude... I m not that much NOOBISH... But I wanted to flash a ICS ROM on GB... So do i need to install any other ICS kernels particularily?? Or just flashing is enuf rite
Told no kernel required
Either you Can flash from Odin or Cwm
May be talking about rooting kernel to get root plus CWM enabling you to flash custom ICS rom from CWM recovery

I want to backup my stock ROm does anyone know how to? I heard there something called clockwork, could someone explain further and have you tried it working?
One try the branded rom posts for your phone .
BUT you say its STOCK rom no need to backup stock roms just download a stock rom .
Clockwork Mod is a tool that installs custom roms and also can back up your current rom .
CWM is found here with root .

You can root and do a nandroid, then restore and unroot with an official kernel

Hey Forum,
I was hoping you guys would be able to help me out. i'm coming from the HTC Legend and kinda lost when it comes to Samsung.
1. what is all this firmware info i keep seeing? is it just the firmware or do i have to match current firmware on my phone to the firmware of the ROM i want to flash?
2. kernels do i flash a ROM and kernel each time or is it all ROM's come with a kernel? or is it the same as HTC, once you find a ROM just flash it through CWM?
3. how do i get root? should i just flash CF-root and then flash ROM's from there?
I'm sorry for asking i know that all this information should be somewhere but most guides seem to be written with the assumption that you owned a Samsung device previously
A big thanks to anyone who can help
thanks,

No try any firmware a before b 3 after 2
2. kernels do i flash a ROM and kernel each time or is it all ROM's come with a kernel? or is it the same as HTC, once you find a ROM just flash it through CWM?
Roms are with a kernel Flash depends upon the roms instructions but most are CWM except for stock roms .
3. how do i get root? should i just flash CF-root and then flash ROM's from there?

Recently , i have been watching some Cyanogenmod 9 ICS 4.0.3 ROM video and it seems to be cool. Well my question is if i flash the Cyanogenmod ROM , can i re-flash the stock ROM that i had?
And is it safe to flash a custom rom?

Cool as in not overheating ???
a wipe and flash of stock rom will remove custom rom .
Root and custom roms void warranty and have a slight risk of bricking the phone .
But are usually recoverable .
You need to read the faqs and guides and understand the CM9 instuctions first .

to flash cynogen rom first u have 2 root ur phone please find the thread in original devlopment section regarding the same
u can reflash ur stock rom by dwnld the releavant .tar file adn flash the same thru odin
You can re-flash the stock rom, but just be sure to know which one is your stock rom. Go to settings, about phone and record the info there to be safe. Also back up your current rom using CWM.
There are always some risk in flashing a rom. Some people dont read instructions and cause problems on their phone, some people flash a rom not built for their phone (i9100 VS i9100G), etc.
Yeah i have rooted my device with cf-root. Thanks guys , i'll read some guides about cyanogenmod and flash it.
If your are currently on GB stock rom, Cyanogenmod developer recommends to install ICS bootloaded first,
You should be able to reflash your Stock ROM veriosn from ODIN, as well as custom roms from CWM...
What is bootload? o.o
My current firmware is ICS LP7

No they say to have below some specific ics boot loader, no mention of upgrading your gb boot loader, unless they changed it.
Plus I yet to had any issues with the latest ics or gb bootloaders..

I think he meant boot loader.
But since you already have ICS, you won't need it. Just take the latest CM9 nightly (or ROM based off it), and flash (you'll have to wipe cache data and dalvik too eventually). Make sure you make a full backup of your current stock ROM through CWM as well.

I refer this guide actually : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20841817&postcount=1
I dont know its outdated,
as others are sharing their experiance that you could flash CM9 straight away from your CWM since you are already on LP7 with ICS Bootloader.....
I don't get it... What is a bootloader?. I mean when i flashed with ICS LP7 i didn't put a file on bootloader. I just loaded the PDA .tar file and flashed it..
Soo that means that i have to reflash the stock rom with bootloader?

I dont know the ICS package you flashed had an ICS Bootloader already...
I just gave you the link for Original CM9 developers guide...
Just wait for others recommendation who have already flsahed CM9 from CWM....
Hmm thanks . But i have read in the guide that i can flash it with odin , do i still need the bootloader?
hi
i m new to s2 but i was using nexus s before
now i have few questions please clear my doubts
1.for now my phone is not rooded if i install a custom kernel with odin will the phone be rooted if that rom has root?
2.for now my phone is not rooded if i install a custom rom with odin will the phone be rooted if that rom has root?
thank you
Flash a ChainFire kernel using odin (follow the links in my signature). Try and keep it close to your current rom / kernel number. Its all in the instructions on their page.
Then flash your new roms either through recovery (follow links in my signature) or using odin.

when you flash a costum ics kernel for cm9 like fluxi, you have root!
for now my rom is official s2 rom for 2.3.6
and in cf-root thread the kernel required for my version is untested
what to do?
can i just flash rooted custom kernel via odin?
and does odin require kies to be installed?

YES if the custom kernel is rooted .
2.for now my phone is not rooded if i install a custom rom with odin will the phone be rooted if that rom has root?
Yes but CWM is normal custom install .
and in cf-root thread the kernel required for my version is untested
what to do? MAKE A DECISION developer does not have time to test every build .
can i just flash rooted custom kernel via odin?
Only if custom kernel is Odin flash most/all are CWM.
and does odin require kies to be installed?
YES or at least Samsung USB Drivers .

Cut and Paste ..
Use Triangle Away to zero rom counter .
Remove any root stuff like CWM .
Flash stock rom or your original rom from stock rom thread .
