XWLP7 is ics 4.0.3 which does not have the emmc bug, you will have no problem using CWM recovery to wipe data from your device before and after installation using odin.
Only firmware with 4.0.4 version is effected with the bug.

yes u can flash the same without any issues , since the EMMC bug is only with the leaked 4.0.4 firmwares.
also u can google for some youtube video tutorial on using 'ODIN' to flash a rom and follow the instruction carefully for a successfull flash

You can flash whatever rom you like over your existing rom. But follow the instructions for the rom you're going to flash to the letter; for example if it says to do a factory reset, do a factory reset, etc, etc.
root with flahing C-F root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
then from CWM recovery you can flash...
Ok so i dont need to flash 4.0.3 XWLP4 stock firmware using odin ?

Done all of that backup . But im afraid i'll get wierd thing like kernel panic mode .
Why would that happen ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I had massive problems first time when i flashed, if you hit any bumps and cant start the phone after flashing, what i did was i flashed stock and then siyah kernel, put files on phone, boot to recovery and clear all data before flashing, that did the trick for my first flash
Hope you have a good time flashing and playing with your phone !

Help~ how to unroot S2 I9100G

Since it have official update ics, but i think my phone had root so i cant install it. Anyone pls provide a solution.. Many thanks
Version : 2.3.6
Base Version : I9100GDKJ2
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-g7b57e17-dirty-Lucifr_1.60uv-200Mhz
Flash your stock 2.3.6 xwlc2 stock rom simply via odin. Or if u want a faster method, just go to privacy and hit factory reset. It will be as good as new. Backup your data before doing it though as you will loose data.
Thank if i helped mate. Hf

Fixed. Remember to close the software for the old phone and close kies. The sony pc companion is conflicting with the samsung so I close it and odin start operating again.

Upgrade GB

Can someone tell me the descriptions of upgrading samsung s2 2.3.4 jokh8 to ICS
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium
1. make a back up of your current firmware
2. In recovery, do a wipe of the cache then go to advanced and wipe daavik cache.
3. Using odin flash the ics firmware you like.
this tutorial should help .

Will it erase all data?

You already made 2 threads about rooting.
So since you "need" to be on ics,you open up another thread about gb-ics.
Whats next,a thread about how to use odin,or a thread about cwm.Or how about a thread for flashing kernel,or a thread about a rom.Then a thread about "help phone bricked".
Do us all a favour and read you lazy git.

1. Root your phone by flashing a rooted kernel containing CWM recovery (e.g. SpeedMod for GB ROMs), if not already done.
2. Make a nandroid backup of your current GB system in CWM recovery. (So you can restore it if flashing does not work or you don't like the new ICS ROM and you want to go back to GB.)
3. Have a look here for the latest ICS stock ROMs => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487.
There is also a description in the first post how to flash the new stock ROM with Odin.
I recommend to flash a pre-rooted ICS stock ROM from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071.
Download the ROM, extract the zip file, put the tar/md5 file into PDA section of Odin and flash it to your phone. (Be sure that no Kies process is running on your PC while flashing.)
4. Once you are on ICS and rooted, you can install TriangleAway (=> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114&highlight=triangleaway) app to reset the flash counter if needed.
5. Be happy and enjoy the new ICS ROM.
Good luck !

okay then download the stock jb rom from sammobile.com
go to download mode and flash the rom.
do not flash any kernel yet, just go to the stock 3e recovery and do a factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik and then reboot your phone.
After this your phone must be okay!..
