What is Needed to Update ICS ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I would like to use Custom ROM for my S2, but I'm afraid there's some error when I use the ROM and Kernel.
What should I prepare before some error is occurred ?
I never update to ICS, so I don't know which one the StockROM is.
Anyone could help me ?
Thanks.

Hi,
you need to read the guides :good:

Read some guides for odin. Then go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock firmware and flash through odin, there's some ics firmware on the site.
Or you can root your device and flash a custom rom through cwm recovery.

When you find the threads containing stock ROMs, after making sure you're getting it for the correct device, you'll find full instructions. There's no point me duplicating them here.

Using clockworkmod recovery??
Stock recovery only allows .zip's signed by Samsung.

No sir, im not. I'm trying to root it using mike1986 thread. Thanks for the tip. I'm now trying using chainfire's method.

I can find a proper rom for my sgs2

i have sgs2 kernal xwkdd-cl161513
can anybody tell where i can find a proper ROM, if there is an offical one would be better!
have you looked at http://www.sammobile.com most of the original stock ROMS are there? You have to register and you can search by Country to find the original ROM for your phone.
What do you mean by proper ROM

I think you miss something here. When you flash a new rom (custom via CWM or official via Odin), your kernel will be 'updated'. So your current one doesn't matter.
And why flash XXLSJ when official JB is already out..?

You indeed can't use Kies when you have root access. The link to official roms has been given above at the first answer. Flash it with Odin.

How on earth do you expect anybody to tell you which rom you need to flash when you have not given a single bit of specific info about your device like which model s2 it is, what your location is etc etc?
You have already been given a link to find your correct rom, use it and then flash via ODIN using guide on forum.

Forwarded from my other thread post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473982 , I have 2 questions.
1. Which thread guide me to flash to custom rom straight way from HC 3.2 stock samsung 10.1 P7510 to JellyBean custom roms ? including Nandroid backup ?
What I know , flashing from 3.2 to 4.1 method must be in a correct step avoiding brick or I Should use the traditional method , 3.2 to ICS then Jelly bean ? such as kernals base issue ?
2. There are so many custom roms avaliable. I would like to know , which rom works the best with compatibility and smooth UI ? Camera fix and etc ?
Appreciate any help

First...to which ROM is the best...depends on you're style and device. All devices aren't equal...even when they are the same variant.But I like the 4.3 ROMs.Look at my SIG to see which one I'm running today...Lol.
Now..on to you're rooting. You most definitely need to update to 4.0.4 ICS..I have a guide after you're on that version so you can root and stay stock or flash a custom ROM.But you need the ICS boot loader to flash almost all of the new jelly bean ROMs, if not all of them.I believe when you do the official update from kies it will install that boot loader.( never had to as my device was on 4.0.4 unrooted ).
Back up you're tab to you're PC before you go updating..The update might wipe sdcard, not sure. And in case the update goes side ways on ya.
Let me know if you need any help.

Getting to the safe side , the best is using traditional flashing to ICS then to JB.
I am currently rooted for HC.The ordering , I need to flash it to samsung ICS first ? which mean , I need to unroot my device ?
Or I can just flash to custom roms ICS ?
Currently , stuck at this point.Which is the correct procedure ?
Flash stock ICS first using Odin first. Then you can flash to any version you want.

No. Just flash it with Odin. Don't use that ROM. That is a modified version. Download the stock ROMs at www.sammobile.com.

Chinese 4.3 ROM Flashing?

I just downloaded the full Official Chinese 4.3 ROM. When I tried to flash it using odin it results in a flash error. It does not flash. Using the UK 4.3 ROM has no errors in flashing. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

There is a very good reason it didn't let you flash.
Let's say you want a heart transplantation. You wouldn't want the heart from a baboon ? (or wait ? would you ?)
