Simply flash the stock ICS roms available for i9100G and you will be fine.

It is safe, just flash it or upgrade it. emmc bug is not a bug at all as you can still access your external SD card. No worries, you can still revert back to your stock rom by using Odin to flash the Stock GB rom. (If you really think you still want it..)
ICS is as stable as it is out there right now, if you worried, upgrade to stock ICS using Kies and then flash Codeworkx CWM Kernel, then use the CWM to flash the Divine Rom from Samyam2000 to retain the stock feel but optimised ICS, definately better than stock.. .then move on the the infinite world of flashing

MODS: Please move this Post!!

Every one whome I asked they told me that there is emmc bug in all stock rom and there is some thing Prevent it from happening in the G one, so I want to be sure :/

Google "EMMC bug". It's a known fault with a small number of phones and can be fixed. The amount of people this bug terrifies is ridiculous. Just forget about it, if your phone doesn't have it (which it almost definitely doesn't) then go, if it does, then your phone will be hard bricked and you can get a replacement.

Have you flashed LQ5 leak or the pit file that came with it, if so, OK, so like a million others you obviously flashed the LQ5 8gb.pitfile at some stage, probably flashing the leaked lq5 rom, and the issues with your storage are because you didnt read the posts before you flashed, especially the one that says you dont need to flash pit files.
So what you need to do, is browse to the general part of the s2 forum, and look at the lq5 posts relating to these problems and go from there, yes, its fixable, csc, could be dependent on how the rom was flashed in the first place, my advice tho is follow the fix guides in general forum and all should be good.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, NO-ONE else flash this LQ5 pit file, stop it guys, you really dont need to flash it, and it really makes me wonder how many of you actually read and understand what youre doing before you even plug your mobile into the usb port!. XDA guys, everyone who contributes, provide so much info, help and great guides, its a complete waste of their time if yous dont read first..............
ok thank you for your replay, i'm back to 2.3.5 and now CSC list is avabile for me, i have only Storage issue
anyway thank you for your replay
ok [SOLVED] i solved the problems, thank you
CSC: solved by return back to 2.3.5 ROM
Storage: sloved by flashing "I9100_FIX_emmc_EXT4.pit" read thread here:

Stock ICS firmware for Orange: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100&pcode=ORA&os=1&type=1#firmware
Download whichever and flash via Odin by putting file in PDA section. There are many guides here on how to use Odin, refer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13712988&postcount=2
If you download ICS v4.0.4 make sure to either flash a custom kernel like Siyah Kernel afterwards, DON'T wipe data or restore a backup through stock recovery or you will brick your device. Refer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
ICS v4.0.3 does not suffer from this, your pick.
Also, please refer here for future thread starting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763193

[Q] Noob Confused... please help...

OK, I have a galaxy S2 I9100 (to be rooted) stock ICS 4.0.4 baseband version I9100DDLPC and build number IMM76D.XWLQ2.
+ I have an insane chip
I have gone through a lot of threads and I am confused.
I found the root guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105
I want to follow the first step (for phones with brick bug).
After doing that, i want to get rid of my stock kernel. Can I flash the Siyah kernel through stock recovery? Which version of Siyah kernel is the latest while being safe from the brick bug?
Just flash a custom kernel via Odin and you'll have root access and you don't have to worry about the brick bug anymore (Siyah is safe). Check www.gokhanmoral.com for the version you need for ICS.
Thanks...

Thanks for the quick reply!
One more thing, after flashing Siyah suppose I want to install cm10/10.1, I just have to full wipe in cwm and flash the cm10 zip file right?
And is the CyanogenMod 10 kernel safe from the brick bug?

Read the thread for the particular version of CM you want to flash; read the first page for the instructions (which will be very clear) & follow those to the letter, then read the last 10-20 pages to get an idea of people's experiences with that version so you know what to expect.
Simple.
And yes, custom kernels are safe from the whole brick bug-thing.
Ive got to say that the brickbug only applies to 4.0.4 stock firmware.
Its not a case of flashing siyah etc and the brickbug is gone "forever".
Its only gone if you dont run 4.0.4 stock ever again.So if you have to revert back to a stock rom, pick GB or 4.0.3 for your country etc and you wont have to worry.
Only saying in case you dont know.
you could also flash official 4.1.2, that should not contain the brick bug.

Yes, you can flash it, but you'll lose NFC functionality, but you can enable it again after the flashing process.
Right now I'm doing a tutorial about how to instal CWM+CM10.1+NFC. When it's finished I'll tell you. Bye
PS: Anyway, flash everything like you had a I9100. It will work, but without NFC. You can fix it searching NFC PATCH in the forum search

First, your screenshot says Galaxy Nexus, so I'm going to assume you've edited the build.prop to reflect that (this is based on the fact you're running an i777 modem).
Anyway, simply install a JB kernel and flash the rom of your choice. Refer to the OP in this thread for the most current and stable kernel for the i777. You'll need to select the correct kernel for the rom you want to flash - be it Samsung or AOSP. There are over 4,000 comments in that thread, any questions you might have about what to flash will be there.

Yes I recall making changes using build.prop. I have been out of this game and very rusty. Could you please elaborate on selecting the correct kernel for the rom.
If your phone is rooted with CWM recovery you only need install a custom ROM it includes its own kernel. A good JB ROM is the Shostock3 see here and follow the installations instructions:
