I know you have ROOT access, do you have access to CWM recovery?

[Q] Seeking help for updating original firmware 4.0.3 -> 4.0.4 [SOLVED]

Hello, i wanted to update my S II, because 4.0.3 is slow since i got it. Till now, i read that there can be some problems when you update to 4.0.4, bricking or what not. I don't have any previous experience whatsoever, so i would appreciate if someone would like to help me. What do i have to do and not, to prevent something screwing up. Thanks.
SOLVED!
The process is simple, download odin v1.85 (google it) and then go to sammobile and find the 4.0.4 firmware. Once downloaded press the volume down+home button+power button at the same time and hold for about 10 sec. Your phone should now boot into download mode, press vol up to continue. Next plug your phone into your pc and open up odin, you should get a yellow box light up, if not then install kies and then kill the process and try again. After that is done press PDA and select the downloaded file from sammobile (extract first) and press start, that installs 4.0.4 on your phone! Now to install siyah kernel (to avoid brickbug) google siyah kernel and download for S2 and like we did before reboot into download mode and choose pda (.tar file) and press flash, congratulations! You have 4.0.4 brick-bug free!
Note: use siyah kernel 3.5.2+

Because i can take pictures, but i can't see what i take, it's just plain black. But the pictures are fine. I also noticed that just second before closing, the camera is working. Then when you start the camera again, plain black.

Do I have the latest software?

Hi Everyone, Just wondering if I have the latest software, because I think my software might be causing the problem that my phone reboots after any installation of any ROM. I"m rooted with CF-root, CWM, SU, CWM Recovery, etc.
My baseband = I9300XXLFB
Kernel =
3.0.15-983563-user

For this problem
If you can't, remove the battery to turn it off, pop the battery back in, then hold Volume Up, Home, and Power to boot into the recovery.
Once in the recovery do a full wipe.
If you are flashing a ROM it's always suggested to do a full wipe before flashing the ROM.
If wiping doesn't work then restore for a previous backup (I hope you did a backup before you did whatever you did since you weren't being detailed in what you were doing at the time).
For update read here. http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Here some more information on my phone:
says my AP: I9300XXBLH1, CP: I9300XXLFB, and CSC: I9300ODDBLG2
What do I need to do in order to get the 4.1.1 update? How can I flash the baseband to the JB one?
Product Code: GT-I9300RWDINU
PDA: I9300XXBLH1
Phone: I9300XXLFB
CSC: I9300ODDBLG2
They're all completely different, none have the same endings, how do I update them so it shows up on Kies? or so I can get OTA updates?

Is that safe to flash with Odin from my current firmware? Or will it brick me?
Check the latest firmware available for your region on www.Sammobile.com.
If you are having latest firmware then wait for updates and if not then flash the latest firmware via odin after downloading from www.Sammobile.com for your region.

Doesn't really matter what your kernel version is. It doesn't stop you from doing anything especially when its going to be replaced with CWM or Siyah

I'll advise a custom kernel e.g Siyah, Dorimanx, Speedmod, etc (not CF-ROOT) to avoid the infamous brick bug.

I'm sorry to be such a noob with rooting stuff.
What i want to my phone is clockworkmod recovery and root.
Does all of those give me both of them
Oh, and to be exact, I want to keep it simple. So, no custom rom or anything. just the basic root rigths and CWM recovery.
