Because, 4.0.4 has brick bug on its stock kernel, you only have two options.
1. Flash a prerooted ICS 4.0.4 firmware via CWM recovery, then flash a custom kernel via temporary CWM recovery.
2. Flash ICS 4.0.4 firmware via Odin. You will lose ROOT and CWM recovery, then flash a custom kernel via Odin to have ROOT and CWM recovery back.
Which option are you going for?

Any chance of getting JPLPF without Samsung's bloatware?
Have you tried wiping or factory resetting your device which has JPLPF? I hope it doesn't suffer from the hard brick bug...

Hi mate
What do u mean with bloatware ? It is a stock rom and this is why I don't remove Sammy stuff because it isn't a custom rom.
Yes it works with no problem. Hard brick bug is associated with Android 4.0.4 roms.
Thanks

will 4.0.4 brake my device???!!

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...).
i9.0.1.3k galaxy imperator
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
Thank you allllllllllllllllll ^_^
really thank you
I think the best idea is to downgrade for 4.0.3 because the device is not mine
But now if I want to downgrade for 4.0.3 do I need to flash a custom kernel first??!!

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
Let me know your preferred option

No. You don't need to flash a custom kernel first if you want to flash through Odin.
Just download a suitable 4.0.3 firmware, read flashing instructions, and flash through Odin

If you are already rooted using CF-ROOT kernel, then trying to use a non-kernel method again, is both hilarious and time wasting.
If flashing Siyah kernel is your priority, in order to overclock, then let's go straight to the point

I assume from the information given above:
1. You are presently on ICS 4.0.3 xxlpj firmware.
2. You rooted your phone via non-kernel method and your phone was rooted.
3. You did not ROOT your phone by flashing CF-ROOT kernel, contrary to what you claimed in your first and second posts
3. Anytime you flash Siyah kernel image via mobile Odin, your phone is stucked on boot.

You can flash any GT I9100 firmware it will work fine and anytime you wish to claim warrant, you simply flash back Indian firmware.

[Q] Kernel help needed

Hi all,
I stupidly started messing around with flashing kernels onto my SGS2-P, and then found out about this emmc bug.
My device is one of those affected, and I want to go back to my official kernel, mainly because of the emmc worry and
also the G-sensor for orientation doesn't work anymore.
The kernel I flashed was 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023.
Does anyone have the official 3.0.15-I9100PXXLPH-CL378510 [email protected] #3 kernel? I have searched the forums but only found a ROM and not sure how to extract just that kernel to flash it.
Please please anyone, if you can help I'd be very appreciative.

My device is one of those affected, and I want to go back to my official kernel, mainly because of the emmc worry and
also the G-sensor for orientation doesn't work anymore.
The kernel I flashed was 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023.
Does anyone have the official 3.0.15-I9100PXXLPH-CL378510 [email protected] #3 kernel? I have searched the forums but only found a ROM and not sure how to extract just that kernel to flash it.
Please please anyone, if you can help I'd be very appreciative.
Phone details:
Model number
GT-I9100P
Android version
4.0.3
Baseband version
I9100PXXLPC
Kernel version
3.0.15-I9100PXXLPH-CL378510 [email protected] #3
Build number
IML74K.XXLPH

Download CF-ROOT kernel for your phone (xxlph) here: download.chainfire.eu/147/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.zip
Flash via Odin
Notes:
-CF-ROOT will root your phone (sorry, that's the only option i could find for now)
- You can remove yellow triangle with triangle away app
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Don't the cf root kernels have the MMC_CAP_ERASE problem?

I'm just really worried about bricking my phone. Otherwise I'd be flashing away like my last device.
Siyah kernel.... Safe or dodgy?
Also, are kernels and ROMs separated for these phones or are they bundled together?
Maybe this should be something to ask on those topics sorry

Siyah kernel is a stable kernel and is one of the most popular kernels for our S2.. so it is completely safe to flash Siyah with CWM/Odin considering that you follow all the necessary steps to get it done correctly , here's how http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-hacks/how-to-installflash-a-new-kernel-on-galaxy-s2-i9100/
here's the list of Siyah kernels http://gokhanmoral.com/
and an index of kernels http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255790
hope this helps
Your build number is from a 4.0.4 ROM, not 4.0.3. Weird?

[Q] Assistance needed with first root of SG2 i9100

Hi guys. I have been a frequent visitor and learned alot about android and features. I am ready to root my galaxy s2 i9100
My details are :
Android version: 4.04
Model number gt-i9100
Baseband version: i9100XXLQ6
Kernal version: I9100xxlbq-cl911584
build number: IMM76D.XXLQB
I downloaded
ODIN 1.85
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LQB-v5.6-CWM5
I am not seeing the original kernal file up for download for my version. What else do I need for my root? Is there any advice such as best method and such. Thank you kindly everyone. Mods, if I posted in the wrong section, please move my thread to the correct location.
That's all you need mate. This kernel is declared safe by Chainfire but as any 4.0.4 kernel should not be used to wipe data because of possibility of emmc cap bug rendering your phone bricked. Root with this kernel but make sure to switch to custom safe one before attempting to wipe data.
Best of luck

Which one would you recommend for wiping data? i assume by wiping data you mean unrooting. am I right?

Essentially flashing using a 4.04 firmware will brick the phone? or is it when I flash, it will be bad to flash using a 4.04 firmware? Sooo confused.
If anyone has the steps what I should do, please tell me. I am worried about bricking.
If I root the phone, when official JB comes out, will I be able to update?
any help guys? The thread isn't very clear what do I do if I have this kernal. Do I downgrade before rooting?
Insted of flashing that Cf root kernel with Odin or Cwm, flash Siyah 4.1.5.

I actually have the same HW version in my new SGS2 and I have checked with eMMC check (downloaded from Google Play) that my chip is safe from "brick bug" :laugh:
Now the question is: which kernel to choose, CF or Siyah ? I'm planning to use CyanogenMod 10 on this phone, does kernel version matter at all in this case ?
/edit:
ROM will be either original CM10 or one of the variants (like HellyBean for example)

If GotBrickbug app by CF said your chip is safe than it shouldn't matter what kernel you use. Safe hardware.
Personally I always prefer rooting with CF kernels that match my FW version. Then if you're still unsure about the chip... flash siyah, go to advanced (while still in recovery) > reboot recovery. Then wipe data with siyah kernel just to be on the safe side. I always keep siyah 3.5.2 (the first transisiontl ics/jb kernel) for those purposes. CM10 built in kernels are all considered safe so that's the last time you'll ever be worried about it.
Best of luck, man
Thank you very much, I ran emmc check and I have a sane chip.
if I flash with the CF LBQ, what is my next step?

your phone will be rooted and u can then choose to install a custom kernel like Siyah v 4.1.5 on ur phone which gives u the latest CWM recovery thro which u can install any custom rom of ur choice(meant for i9100 though) on ur phone
Thank you very much!
If my questions seemed noobish, its because I want to be very sure. It my first expensive phone.
a question though, When samsung upgrades us to JB, will I be able to update it?

Samsung releases firmware in various regions and with varied carriers. So I bet that till it is officially released it will take time but when it does you will get OTA if your are on 'STOCK' ROM. but if you move away to custom rom then you will have to update manually.

So essentially I need to revert to 4.04 stock to upgrade? How do I do that?

To revert back assuming you didn't do backup before, download 4.0.4 firmware for your region on sammobile and flash it using odin.. Then to upgrade it when official update are up just hit OTA, kies, or flash it via odin the same way like you flash 4.0.4..
If you don't have idea how to flash then google it, theres plenty much tutorials out there.. hope it helps
Ohhhhhh. I get it. Flash using CF, or CM 10, use triangle app to remove warning triangle and if I need to unroot, flash with 4.04 (my region) using odin? Sound pretty simple. Am I missing any steps?

Actually I get confused myself hehe, by "Flash using CF, or CM 10" you mean flash what? The rest are ok..
Well, let's put this simple, Flash the CF-Root for your phone then you're rooted now, if you want to flash custom rom such as cm10 then flash it (the cm10 zip file to be flashed on recovery mode and don't forget to read the cm10 instruction before & after flashing), if you want to get rid of the triangle then do it with triangle away, finally to unroot and revert to stock, just flash stock firmware via odin..
Hi everyone! I just rooted my phone and it was sooo easy.
Thank you so much. Your advice and help definitely made it much easier than I though.
Yeah, welcome to the rooted world where you can explore more with your phone
