hi all, found out about this new android update and i was wondering, what i needed to do before upgrading to jelly bean,
i have this android: samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100
version 2.3.6
baseband I9100XXKL1
kernel [email protected]#66
build number: ChekROM RevoHD v6
im on gingerbread and they have different android version;so im confused, if i could just directly flash this new rom( you may recommend any JB roms too ^^).
thanks in advance!
0. Backup SMS, contacts and do a factory reset
1. Flash stock 4.0.x to your phone
2. Flash newest Siyah Kernel
3. Flash Jellybean ROM.
you may recommend any JB roms too

That's how my steps were too - 4.0.3 flashed with Odin (from sammobile), then siyah kernel and after it any jelly bean rom (i got vanilla root box, but I think you don't get here any bad rom )

1. Backup your data:
- Download call logs backup & restore, to backup your call logs
- Download sms backup & restore, to backup your sms
- Download bookmarks backup, to backup your bookmarks
- to backup your contacts, a)sync them with Google or b) export contacts to SD card or c) download contacts backup & restore to backup contacts
- use titanium backup to backup apps + data or use Es file explorer to backup apps (apk only)
2. perform a Nandroid backup
3. Download a custom stock based ICS 4.0.3 ROM
4. Flash ROM via CWM recovery following these steps:
- boot to CWM recovery
- wipe data/factory reset
- format /system (under mounts and storage)
- flash ROM
- reboot phone
5. There is no need to flash any custom kernel again as custom stock based ROMs are already using one
6. You already know that ROM recommendation is forbidden on XDA. So,
- Visit the thread of the Rom if you're choice,
- follow all the download and flashing instructions on the first post.
## This is exactly how I've helped a lot of friends with a rooted gingerbread device upgrade to ICS/JB
Good luck

1. are you referring to this ROM? if yes, then no problem, you can flash it.
2. You don't need to flash any custom kernel, the Omega Rom uses CF- root already. I said it in my point no 5, in previous post

yes yes what i meant was after flashing Omega Rom, my SGS2 GTI9100 is ready to be flashed with jellybean rom.

android version 4.0.3
baseband version I9100XXLPX
kernel version: [email protected]#3

i thought according to ROM's decription my kernel should be CF-root LPG or are they the same? should i flash a different kernel before upgrading to jellybean?
i saw this cool JB rom PARANOIDANDROID v2.1
ill just follow their instructions on how to install it right?
i saw this on samsung galaxy s2 GTI9100 threads so, ill assume that this is compatible wiht my device...
sorry for asking too many questions, i just wanted to make sure and hear from your expertise before proceeding

if you have ES file explorer you may browse you external sdcard its labels as sdcard1, open ES file explorer, tap favorites, and you'll see it

Hi.
I have on my Galaxy S2 the stock ICS 4.0.3 (XWLP7) with CF-root kernel 5.4. I would like now to upload the phone with ICS 4.0.4 (XWLPU). Can I do it now like always with Odin or should I do first something else with my phone (wipe etc.)?
Thanks in advice
You can do it either way, I prefer doing it via CWM recovery.
To avoid BrickBug flash latest Siyah Kernel first (v4.1.2) before you do any wipe operations.
Then do a full wipe and flash desired rom.

dwnld the 4.0.4 firmware and flash the same using ODIN since ur upgrading from a stock rom to another one it will not be an issue, but after flashing 4.0.4 u have to re-root your phone, since stock XWLPU 4.0.4 will automatically unroot ur phone

You can just upgrade using Odin, no problem.
Note:
-once you upgrade to 4.0.4, then say goodbye to CF-ROOT kernel.
-Just flash a custom kernel like Siyah, speedmod, Dorimanx, Dream at once.
Why?
-Because stock ICS 4.0.4 kernel has a brick bug enabled on it.
-This bug is also present on all kernels based on stock 4.0.4 kernel. CF-ROOT and all insecure kernels fall into this category
What will happen?
-If after rooting your phone after upgrading to 4.0.4, and you wipe your phone or try ROM backup while running stock/stock based kernels then say goodbye to your phone.

Hi. Thanks for your answear. But I would like to know how should I do it, step by step. I have download it the Sizah kernel 4.12.
1. enter the CWM recovery mode and install the Siyah kernel (install ZIP from external card)
2. reboot the phone or?
3. enter CWM recovery mode again: hold down the volume up button,home button and power button.
4. in CWM recovery I have to choose the wipe data/factory reset
5. after wipe phone reboot
6. enter the Download mode and install the new ROM with Odin
Why should I install the siyah kernel? I still have the cf-root kernel (my phone is rooted).
After upload the new ICS 4.0.4 if I wanna root my phone, I should make the root with Siyah kernel via Odin or? Do you think the Siah kernel is better from CF-root kernel?
Thanks
I thought the brick bug has been taken care of in the latest CF kernels

that was not because of cf-root kernel's ma8 since they r tweaked stock kernel's with EMMC_cap (Brick Bug) removed , hence there would be no problem, as i have used one two days back to root a friends phone which was on stock 4.0.4 LPT firmware without any issues
the brick might be caused by the wrong CF-root being choosen like the one's marked with * that people might have dwnld'd without properly reading why it has been * rd.

OK friend.
So you think is better that I update from rooted ICS 4.0.3 to ICS 4.0.4 with Odin without CWM recovery. It sounds good to me.
After update I should install the new Siyah kernel via Odin too. And then I can do the factory reset or?

I had the same feelings two until yesterday,
Two different guys, running Wanamlite LPU ICS 4.0.4 ROM with CF-ROOT kernel (the Rom's default kernel), hardbricked their phones after wiping data in recovery while trying to flash another ROM.

Hey there ^_^
first of all sorry for my English
I was want to ask about the ICS 4.0.4 for the i9100
Because somebody says that this rom may brake my device...
The problem that I have i9100g and upgraded for 4.0.4 but my friend have i9100 and I upgraded his mobile to 4.0.4 (the united kingdom rom)
so hhahahaha I would pay him if his mobile been broken later
Summary is the 4.0.4 for the i9100 will brake my device???????
Thanks ^_^
and sorry it's the first time I write a thread
It will brick your phone if you wipe data or restore nandroid backup through temporary CWM recovery, but only if you stay with 4.0.4 stock kernel (from Samsung).

If you friend doesn't ROOT his phone, he will never BRICK his phone.
However, if he wants to ROOT his phone or if his phone is already rooted, then he must flash a custom kernel e.g Siyah, speedmod, Dorimanx or dream kernel immediately

You can check if your EMMC chip can be bricked ('eMMC check' app from market) if it is known as INSANE, than it is highly possible to brick it.
But...
You will probably brick INSANE device when perform wipe in CWM recovery on stock 4.0.4 kernel.
If you use stock 3e recovery with stock kernel (even with root) or even CWM but with custom kernel with disabled CAP_ERASE function (all actual custom kernels I know) than your phone is safe.
If you are not sure:
1. Use stock firmware without any modyfications or
2. Use stock firmware with root only but stay with 3e recovery or
3. Use stock firmware with custom kernel (root and CWM included) - optimal sollution or
4. Use custom rom with custom kernel included (I'm still not sure about CF-Root kernel becouse it is almost stock kernel, I don't know there is cap_erase disabled or not - in case you want to use it with CWM) or
5. Use 4.0.3 with... anything you like (3e, CWM, root, stock, custom, dualboot...).

YES IT WILL BREAK UR PHONE , got mine broken last week ,and just got it back from samsung yesterday and it cost me 240 € !!!
just get into download mode and flash siyah kernel.tar via odin , then downgrade to 4.0.3 , and ofcourse dont think about the word WIPEwhile on stock kernel
my phone works fine Cmiui 4.0.4 now put 4,1,1

1. If you want to downgrade, the best way is to flash a stock 4.0.3 firmware via Odin.
2. Alternatively, you can flash it via a pre-rooted ICS 4.0.3 firmware via CWM recovery after flashing a custom kernel

Hello guys,
I got Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 with cm9 (see attached file).
I want to flash a custom LPU rom (SPEEDMOD K3-31 kernel based), and I got some question before I do that
First, I need to flash the SPEEDMOD K3-31 kernel using Odin and then the rom from recovery, right?
After some reading in here, I found out that my kernel is stock based (really?). Does it mean that the "wipe data" function may hard-brick my phone?
I think I'm a bit confused - I've seen too many different ways to do this
Thanks!

from your screenshot, it shows you are presently on CM9.
CM9 has root access and CWM recovery by default so there is no need to flash Speedmod kernel via Odin first.
I assume you are presently on CM9 and you wish to flash a Custom Stock LPU (ICS 4.0.4) ROM, which has Speedmod as its kernel.
Follow these steps:
# don't flash Speedmod kernel via Odin.
1. Boot to CWM recovery
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Format /system (under mount and storage)
4. Flash Your custom ROM
5. Reboot phone.
Done
If I missed any of your questions, let me know

Yes Jokesy, your assumption is correct
So when do I need to flash the speedmod kenel (the rom's kernel)?
And my current ROM/kernel won't get me a hard brick?

dude did u read the post of @joksey carefully, the custom rom(Lpu) which ur flashing does have speedmod kernel in it and flashing the same will also install speedmod kernel for u, so no need to flash the kernel seperately
and ur current rom Kernel will not Hardbrick ur phone for sure, so need to worry

Your current Rom's kernel, is Cm kernel. It's very safe.
Your new ROM's kernel will be flashed together with the Rom. So there is no need to flash the kernel again.
To confirm this,
After flashing the new ROM, check the Rom details.

My sd card is full with files I don't need.
Can I just format it from recovery or delete the files manually?

Format it in your phone.
Goto Settings - Storage , then erase the SD. It's safer
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Problem SOLVED
I have just rooted my Galaxy S2 and flashed it with a custom rom.
My original phone info was
PDA: I9100XWLP3
PHONE: 19100O2ULP4
CSC I9100O2ULPR
Now after custom Rom when i check from settings
Baseband I9100XXLPR
KERNEL 3.0.15-SIYAH
BUILD NO IML74K.XWLP3
My questions are
1.what options I have in case I want to try other roms out there. Can I install Rom for 4.0.4...( I know thats dumb to ask. Its not possible just bear with me)
2. In case I can only Install 4.0.3 based Roms , has it to be LPR- LP3 strictly. or I can install other versions like Omega ROM XWLPG Android 4.03....LINK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489197..
3.Finally if I have to be very specific in choosing Roms what option do I have . I haven't came across almost any roms supporting LP3.
Help will be much appreciated
Regards

1. Yes, you can. Install a 4.0.4 rom from CWM (if custom rom - zip file) or from ODIN (if stock rom - tar file)
2. You are not limited to 4.0.3 however if you like to stay on that you can flash any version including XWLPG (choose most suitable for).
3. You don't have to be specific.
There are however some basic rules to be followed:
- if you switch between different roms - full wipe is recommended to avoid any freezes, FCs etc
- if you move from 4.0.3 to stock 4.0.4 don't wipe anything just after flashing 4.0.4 rom due to possible brick bug. Imediately after flashing 4.0.4 stock rom flash one of the safe kernels (wihout wipes before) - eg. PhillZ-CWM6, Siyah, Dorimanx etc.

Yes, after flashing a 4.0.4 based Custom Rom if u wish to rewert back to Stock ICS 4.0.3 u can always do so
regarding the second rule, if u wish to rewert back to stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware then u can select the latest availbale one's which r stable

Yes, u can ma8 remember once rooted u can install any custom rom of ur choice, but the only thing u have to ensure is that those roms are meant for ur model ie I9100 and u should follow the install instruction given by the devloper's of that rom to perfection
I have read about the eMMC HARDBRICK Bug in Samsung 4.0.4 firmwares . I understand that its the bug with due to the stock kernel and not the ROM.
I want to update my wife's SGS2 which is currently running
Code:
[B]Android Version[/B]: 2.3.3
[B]Baseband Version:[/B] I9100XXKE7
[B]Kernel Version:[/B] 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 [email protected] #2
to a custom ROM [ROM][4.1.2][AOKP/CM/PA] GT-I9100 Vanilla RootBox with Dorimanx Kernel and I9100XXLQ6 Moden
Can you please advise me what will be the correct procedure (Sequence of steps) for achieving this with risking a brickbug?
What vesion of Kernel Will I need?

I would suggest u to first upgrade the phone to ICS v4.0.3 which does not have the Brick Bug ( only ICS 4.0.4 and that to its stock kernel have it).
Then Root ur phone using 'Siyah Kernel for S2' from ODIN to root and install latest CWM recovery, from which u can flash the Custom rom of ur choice
PS- since Rooting ur phone is much easier on ICS than GB, as u have more options with ICS

So This is what I do:
Flash Stock 4.0.3
Installed rooted Kernel like Siyah
Install Custom ROM (4.1.2)
Flash new Modem if needed

Reviving the thread a bit:
Is there a reason not to flash 4.1.2 (Stock Custom) directly over 2.3.3?
