So i have a Samsung Galaxy S II and earlier today i were thinking about rooting it.
So i were preparing for the root and installed the Samsung drivers.
When it had installed it popped up a message about new firmware(ICS).
So i installed it, and i dident like it.
So i were wondering, is there a root for ICS 4.0.3 yet?And if it is, can i install Clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod 7 (or 9) on it?
Thanks in advance!
(Sorry for my bad english,Im from Norway )

You don't need root to flash a ROM. Just enable usb debbuging and reboot in recovery, then flash whatever rom you want.
Easiest way to root your phone is to flash Siyah kernel (my opinion )
Cm7 is Gingerbread, Cm9, which is still nightly release, is 4.0.4. Cm9 comes rooted (I'm not sure about Cm7 though, but I think it's rooted too).
I personally use Cm9 with Siyah kernel because of the CWM and better recovery menu. Otherwise Cm9 comes with integrated Rom manager, so Siyah is not necessary.

And if it is, can i install Clockworkmod
See above link .
and Cyanogenmod 7 (or 9) on it?
That depends upon the instructions posted for the roms .

Cyanogenmod 7 is based on Gingerbread and it's the only STABLE Cyanogenmod for Galaxy S2 so far.
Cyanogenmod 9 is still in nightly release ("nightly" means beta (or alpha?) release: may contain bugs, crashes, not working/included apps etc.) and it's based on ICS 4.0.4.
-------------------------------------------------------
Cyanogenmod 9 comes with integrated ROM Manager which is practically CWM with other name and more functions. With ROM manager you can backup/restore current rom, partition SD card, download and install ROMs AND you can flash latest clockworkmod recovery from where you can flash all kernels/roms/updates that you want (with clockworkmod recovery I mean the volume up-home button-lock button thing It changes the default recovery and gives you more options lol)
I have been searching high and low for how to install ClockWorkMod on a Bell Galaxy S II i9100M and I have not had any success. It has the stock ICS firmware and it is rooted and unlocked...please help.

1. which root method did you use? Please provide links
2. To have a permanent CWM recovery, just flash a custom GT I9100 kernel
Swyped from my Galaxy SII
I used CWM.zip and SU-Busybox-Installer.zip. I don't want to flash another ROM until I get thus one backed up...I heard that CWM can back up the current ROM image.

Then just flash a custom kernel, Siyah, Dorimanx or Speedmod via the temporary CWM recovery
These kernels have permanent CWM recovery
After flashing, reboot your phone back to recovery
Perform a ROM backup in CWM recovery

Alternatively, you can flash this CWM 6.x via stock recovery, if you don't wish to flash a custom kernel: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840223

Just flash Siyah kernel 4.1.2 (download the zip format) via the temporary CWM recovery. It will give a permanent CWM recovery, and it's 100% compatible with your phone (GT I9100M).
Download Siyah kernel here: www.gokhanmoral.com/

1. You will not lose anything if you flash kernel. Flashing kernel will never delete data. Everything remains intact.
2. You will receive alerts when updates are available etc. And you can also flash them even before it becomes available for your region.
If you are still skeptical about flashing the custom kernel, and only want clockwork mod recovery, then, don't flash anything, you will be fine with a temporary CWM recovery which you already have

Yeah, you're right. Download 4.1.4.
There is no need to be updating the kernel very often, except,
- You are facing issues with the present version
-or the update is a major release

So, another newbie question: what is the point of flashing *JUST* the kernel? Is it just to get the permanent CWM and do backup/restore of my full un-rooted ROM?
I realize that once I have the new kernel I can flash any ROM I want (as long as it's compatible), but if that's all I wanted to do, I can just install a temporary CWM right?
Finally, if I install the siyah 4.1.4 (latest), will anything be broken (ie. bluetooth, camera, etc)? If so, why would I do this?

1. Custom Kernel
- to have a CWM CWM recovery.
- better backup and restore process
- More customizable options
- bugs and battery hog fixes, thus better battery life.
- optimized performance
- flashing other Roms with breeze
If you ever wish to restore your original unrooted firmware, it's better to flash it via Odin.
2.
- If you flash Siyah kernel nothing will be broken.
- If you are on ICS 4.0.3 firmware, Siyah 3.5.2, if you are on 4.0.4, then flash Siyah 4.x.x

I am on ICS 4.0.3 (i9100M) but why do I need to stick to the lower version of Siyah? Siyah 4.0.1 says, in the changelog, "supports Samsung 4.0.3/4.0.4 ".
If I wanted Siyah 4.1.4, you're saying I need to upgrade my S2 to 4.0.4 and THEN move to Siyah 4.1.4?
Thanks for your advice!!!

Don't upgrade to ICS 4.0.4!
I was saying, Siyah 3.x.x works much better than Siyah 4.x.x on ICS 4.0.3.
You can still flash 4.x.x to see for yourself, but I will advise you to have a copy of 3.5.2 incase it doesn't work that well for you.

If you are not going to install custom roms you dont have to worry about the brick bug. s2 will be getting the official JB soon. So just buy a s2 and wait for the updates. Brick bug is not much of a big deal. You can easily get rid of it

Its not about the rom. Its a problem that comes with stock ICS 4.0.4 kernel. If you try to wipe data in stock recovery it will brick your phone. You can easily flash a custom kernel which will remove the brick bug and give you root access and CWM recovery. Then you can flash any rom you want without any fear about the brick bug. There are so many safe kernels.

Jellybean is brickbug free,no any brick heard.
Safe way to avoid brick, First install Jb via odin then root by Phillz kernel zip file via Stock recovry.
Recovery (.zip) packages instructions - Will also root your phone * recommanded method *
They come in the form of -signed.zip files that can be flashed in stock recovery 3e: No Yellow Triangle
Download xxx-signed.zip kernel matching your ROM
Put the previously downloaded xxx-signed.zip file on your external sd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power)
Select "apply update from external storage".
Now select the xxx-signed.zip file you copied in previous step
You are rooted + new PhilZ-cwm6 kernel with CWM6

Error status code 7 when flashing ROMs usually means the install script failed an assert when trying to determine if you have the correct model of phone that the ROM is intended for.
Where did you download the copy of CM10.1 from? Are you sure that it is for your model of phone? According to your signature, you have an I9100. Are you sure you didn't download CM10.1 for I9100G, for example?

This is because your likley using Philz kernel for leaked JB.
To flash other custom roms you will need to change kernel back to a previous ICS or JB kernel like Siyah.
Flash the kernel (.tar version) via ODIN/Mobile ODIN.

No, you don't need Odin/heimdall and you don't' need a PC even if it's better to have one at hand when it comes to issues.
One hint: read and try to understand everything before flashing. If you are unsure, ask, otherwise there is a chance to brick the device, especially with 4.0.4 stock (-> brick bug)
