Hello,
I was having problems with my S3 on Diet ICS, so not thinking, I went into CWM and did a factory wipe and restore. After the reboot I still have a lot of the stylings of the Diet ICS but I am missing text everywhere. How can I get Diet ICS working again or return to stock? Can I use Odin to flash the stock kernel to the phone? What else should I try/do?
Thank you in advance!
I have just found out what I did. I fixed this by flashing the stock root and then installing version 7.1 and then 7.4.

Hi guys, after a little patience I'm now very interested in ics upgrade.
My s2 runs kk5 stock rooted cause I don't wanna miss features like mhl tv-out.
So my doubts are:
Is possible to flash kp8 with mobileodin?
What about bootloader? Jig still working?
To switch back to kk5 restore nand backup is enough or also other needs to be downgraded?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Jussy.

Then i suggest you wait until it officially comes out rather than flashing a leaked version that isn't finished. Until it comes out you can read the faq's on here and familiarize yourself with flashing.
The current ics leaks and cm9 are both not really ready to be daily drivers due to instability and missing features, only try if you know what you are doing, if you are use you want to try, make sure to take a nandroid and read the relivent threads.

Downgrade then root then restore .

Thanks for your fast and kind reply.
I'll wait for a stable release.
I have KK5 stock and rooted using cfroot kernel with the old jig compatible bootloader as my favourite firmware.
I also have been using cm9 which I like a lot. The missing features and bugs don't effect my daily usage.
I never flashed the ics bootloader and never experienced any problems.
I made a backup of kk5 via CWM and flashed cm9 then gapps then faceunlock then wiped as directed in cm9 1st post. Setup my phone how I wanted it then when I was happy with everything I made a backup via CWM of cm9.
Ive been restoring either KK5 or cm9 via CWM and so far not had any hassles flipping between them.
When I want to checkout a new version of cm9 ive been able to restore my CWM backup of cm9 then flash New version then flash gapps then faceunlock then wipe cache. This has not wiped my cm9 setup and data and all has been good to use. No FC etc.
Hope this helps.

A friend of mine recently updated her Galaxy S2 from the stock GB 2.3.6 to AT&T's ICS update. According to her it's ruined the phone and she wants to go back. I'm assuming it's as simple as flashing a stock GB 2.3.6 ROM with Odin onto the phone but I can't seem to find that ROM anywhere. I flashed the hell out of my old Galaxy and have already flashed my Galaxy S3 a few times, but I've never worked with an S2 before so pardon the noobness

If you wanna go back to stock gingerbread here's the link. Please read the entire post, its very easy to do. I've done it a few times when I've managed to soft-brick my phone.

Edit: There is a bug in stock ics kernel that seems to mess up the phone. Since you're not rooted double check with a recognized dev or contributor to make sure this will work.
Doing a data wipe or factory reset from within recovery with stock ics kernel can result in a bricked phone as a result of the emmc bug - so avoid doing such as long as the stock ics kernel is on the phone.
First flash back to a gingerbread kernel or a safe ics kernel before doing any wipe or factory reset.

Hey guys I'm having some trouble flashing jb roms. It always freezes during the install. I'm currently on ics.

I never flashed from ICS that I recall. However, you could Odin back to stock. Flash a good stable froyo and try to flash up from there.
I don't remember now if GB boot loader is 100% required but I have it on mine.
I'm getting ready to take an exam, if you haven't got it sorted before I return, I'll help you get running.
Thanks for the reply, I do have the gb bootloaders and I tried going back to stock and still no luck. I get a soft brick every time.

Which ICS ROM are you coming from, and are you doing full wipe?
I had a chance to think about it, and I had trouble getting up to 4.1 the first time I tried. I ended up stepping up gradually.
Odin'd to stock then went up to bionic, skipped GB, went up to latest CM ICS I believe... Then from there onto JB. Been fine since.
Its been a while but that's best as my memory cares to serve me.
I don't think its a real common problem, but occasionally something doesn't jive somewhere.
Hi,
Its not necessary BUT it will always work Odin back to stock and continuing. Once I tried to flash ICZen from FROYO but no luck. Then I ODIN back to stock then CM7 in the middle and ICS on top of it and it WORKED. I have flashed GB bootloaders to get easy key mapping (Anyway u have to flash it if it is required by the ROM) I have flahed JB 4.2.2 Avatar ROM on top of ICZen which has worked for me. woody has a [Guide] How to install ICS **EVERYTHING you need to know how to install them** so you can get an idea Sometimes you have to flash the ROM twice b/c CWM updation
Always do a CLEAN flash (FULL wipe) before flashing a new ROM
Hope u would get JB ROM flashed successfully
tc
Flash it twice

You seriously need to learn to search. This is like your 6th question

Judging from your questions here, and in the two private messages you sent to me, you need to learn more about the phone before you do any further modifications. I would hate to see you damage your phone.
The firmware you flashed, Entropy stock plus root UCKK6, contains a bone stock kernel, and a completely stock factory file system which has had superuser and su injected into it.
Please don't use anything from zedomax on this phone, as many have reported issues with his tools, some that were serious.
Use the Siyah 2.4.16 kernel. There is a .tar version there.

Hi, yesterday I bought a Galaxy S2 from AT&T and I'm a newbie at this. I want to know which is the best kernel for this phone without any brick possibilities.
Because I know the Siyah kernel, but I don't like it just because the Ying-yang symbol at booting process (That's really stupid) and I heard that the Jeboo Kernel leaves your phone with the triangle and without the possibility of booting the phone. Stuck at "Samsung Galaxy S2" and the triangle, so first of all... Is this true? (I mean the bug of the Jeboo Kernel)
And second, if it's true... Which kernel can I use?
I forgot to say...
The S2 has 4.1.2 Stock Unrooted.
Thanks in advance.

Stock unrooted. First you'll need to follow one of many threads detailing how to root the phone, and get cwm onto the i777. Then you'll need to read each kernel forum with recent support for the i777 to determine which is best suited for your needs (stability, rom choice, vanity, whatever). A few big names around here are AJK, jeboo (which works fantastically for it's designed application), and STI.
Happy flashing.
Ok. I'll do that.
Thanks.

One thing more. If I leave the phone with stock unrooted kernel and I do a Factory Reset, will the phone brick?
Because of the eMMC bug with stock unrooted kernel.

I'm pretty sure that stock 4.1.2 left the eMMC bug behind, the details are in creepyncrawly's repository. Creepyncrawly's signature is the best starting point for modding the I777.

To your initial question, there is nothing wrong with the Jebo kernel. It was, however, built specifically to go with the SHOstock3 rom. There are a variety of things that can cause the problem you stated. Flashing the wrong kernel for instance, as in flashing an ICS or Gingerbread kernel to a Jelly Bean system, will prevent the phone from booting. As far as the warning triangle at boot, that is caused by flashing a custom kernel using Odin or Heimdall. The screen can also be removed by flashing a stock kernel using Odin or Heimdall.
As far as the cap erase eMMC brick bug is concerned, that showed up in the ICS versions, and was possibly present in the 2.3.4 stock kernel. It may have been present also in the 2.3.6 stock kernel but there was never any direct evidence that it was. The 4.1.2 stock kernel is almost certainly safe. If it were my phone, I would not hesitate to perform a wipe data/factory reset with the 4.1.2 stock kernel.

Tour explained me very well, I understood everything! So thanks.
I will choose the kernel later.
