Well firstly, please use common sense and write logical topic titles. "Pls help" and other such silly titles mean absolutely nothing to people who are browsing the forum. Titles are supposed to be descriptive, ie describe the topic briefly.
Secondly you cant have looked very far because there is plenty of ICS based kernels in the Dev area. Just go grab the Siyah kernel and flash via ODIN and your done.

It's the link to Siyah kernel download site. Scroll down and find Siyah for S2 ver 4.1.5. Choose TAR ver (as you prefer).
That's it.

Maybe the forum rules arent displayed clearly enough. Should have an individual prompt message for each rule when someone is registering.
Then again, some would still not get it. Its fighting a losing battle.

The prompt before you post a thread is a good idea. But yeah, you're probably right, people would ignore it anyways.

because the answer is in the thread
Plus this forum is full of lazy bastards who wont read page one wont search and expect others to spoon-feed them .
How the f&&& should i know the answer i would find the answer by reading the bloody instructions . Am i supposed to do that then post those instructions for him .
Thats compounded by self righteous fxxx that have no interest a=in anything but their own ego .We really need a kindergarten section .
Yes i am peed of with posters like you and incompetents like the original poster makes trying to help the genuine users a why the fxx should i bother .
Dont bother with your small minded reply you can answer the helps from now on you are promoted i retire defeated .
jje
Gz for being ignorant...seriously...its so hard to give him a short answer instead of posting the whole thread etc...
It would be easier for you and for him if you just gave him a short reply...gosh
this section is already for questions
You search for the thread and link him to it...which was quite more work insteadt of saying "yes you can flash it via odin"
When I first started I had to learn everything by following instructions... To the letter. If I hadn't, I would have bricked my phone.
Just read the goddamn threads first... ****.

How do I get this? How do I flash this with odin? What do I tick in odin? PDA, phone? Why cant I flash speedmod in cwm?
...
JJE posted the thread and instructions. Above is something a newb not all newbs but some probably would of asked if you just answered yes. They hear words like odin, flash, etc etc without knowing how to use it and such.
However OP sounds as though he may know how to do this and just wanting clarification in which case yes would be enough. But if OP knew what speedmod kernel is then OP should have known the answer if they had read that thread.

Stop trolling this thread...as you can read from the OP you can see he already have flash knowledge cause he already flash the cf-root.. so why you treat him like a total noob..instead of saying yes..stop trolling
so epic how you ppl can be trolling someone...if you are annoyed by noobs then stop reading in the FAQ section....

difference between android development and original development is simple. android development is roms basically with a slap on theme on it and original is well original.
read this thread here for better explanation between the two
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175660
as regarding unlocking bootloaders you do not have to as it is already unlocked..all you have to do is flash a cf-root kernel from chainfires thread.
here are links to help you better

i'm sorry I didnt know that. you dont have to be a ****.
I suggest you do what's necessary to flash to UCKH7 GB and start over. (Search the forums or Google with "xda" following your search)
If you want ICS follow the instructions in the stickies!

The problem here is you failed to read the rules. You just made an account here and accepted without reading. That is highly frowned upon. Please reread the rules for XDA and then you might understand the response you got.

Have a look here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487, if you want to flash the ROM yourself with Odin.
Alternatively you can try to let Kies update the firmware, if it recognizes your phone.
Or try OTA update driectly on your phone.
Good luck !
P.S.: As I like to have always the newest ROM and need root for some apps, I recommend to flash latest pre-rooted ROM from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071. But it's your choice.

Have a look at that noobs topics.This is the 3rd time youve helped him and its in one ear and out the other.
You post a link and he asks if he needs to be rooted.Just shows he cant be bothered reading it when it says you dont need to be rooted.
He is obviously not prepared to read the rules nor read guides in his own time.
So can someone please report him to Crachel/any moderator.

It is on the phone browser. But you have to sign in to see it. It doesn't appear if you aren't signed in.
Right enniocharchar, i have locked your other 3 threads asking the same question as you are here, may i point out that you can only start one thread to ask a question, asking the same question across multiple is against XDA rules and with this question being a simple how to root your phone question a simple search would have found you all the answers needed.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.

I don't really think you can root your phone with a stock ROM
The way to root via odin is with a kernel.
if you don't know how, i recommend http://galaxys2root.com/
No disrespect intended....but forget galaxys2root.com........all the info you need can be found right here on XDA......and the chances are that 'other' websites got their info here anyway.......
As previously mentioned.....rooting with a custom kernel is your best bet......
Some kernels require flashing via Odin, but at least one can be flashed via the stock recovery.....
You can also use chainfires cf root.
Read some of the 'stickeyed' threads under the various S2 forums for links to the info you need.

No, you're not supposed to have repartition ticked. Do you want people to end up with busted phones or something ?

actually i heard about this website before i knew about xda. so thats why i recommended it
So ? It's a bit much to expect most people here to help bozos who insist on using stuff from other sites when every method to do every thing you could ever want to do with this phone can be easily found here & people can easily get help if they get stuck.
This is the point that was clearly lost on you.

Hmm i'm not totally clear on what you're trying to say.
I know there are lots of methods to root at xda, but as i used it myself and was very confident while using their guides i just recommended it insted of looking for a good root method here. ( i haven't searched for any in xda as it's unnecessary)
And as most of guided are originated from xda as keithross said, we can easily help the person whether the guide is from xda or elsewhere.
The points that mistahbungle and I are making are...
1) the OP is here on XDA.
2) YOU are here on XDA
3) all the info that the OP needs is here on XDA.
And yet here you are, referring the OP AWAY from XDA......
What's the point in that?
And for info.....everything I looked at on that website has or appears to have been kanged straight from XDA anyway.....including rom and kernel assets (I think alliance rom and jeboo kernel to name just two were created by devs who posted them on XDA)......without mention of XDA or the devs who actually did all the hard work to create the software........not exactly showing support for the community, is it?
