You can't flash a rom without a wipe if you're coming from another rom without getting problems.
(Edit: maybe it's possible in some cases, but it's a risk)
About installing the JB-roms: search for yourself, because all the instructions are already written down here on xda.

who said anything about not wipping?
that's a crazy sum that I came up with.
he wanted jb, there he has it.
he wanted to install it, there he has it.
he asks for no wipping - he doesn't know what he's talking about - and then this guy comes along and says Titanium back up for his apps.
when he reads all this he might go like "okay, I gotta start reading more about this".
wouldn't you agree now?

Are they planning to bring an update for the SGS II with jellybean? If so i will not root and flash my phone because i'm not good at it and i preffer original roms over customs.

Of course, but as always only Samsung knows when. You can always use Odin for LSD if your patience is over

Be careful.... You haven't got the phone yet but you're already talking about .pits. Bricking your device for good using a .pit file is just too easy. Seems like everyday someone posts here about this. First you need to learn about flashing and then get to it. Not the other way around.
BTW check if your device has the brickbug before doing any flashing on it.
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
Please stay away from using odin/flashing custom roms untill you understand what you are doing. You said that you are not good at it, so don't do it then. Start reading the forums and if you then understand how flashing works, then you can flash.

[Q] The most easiest way to root S2 4.1.2

By flashing a kernel like siyah v6 b5+ via odin.
Thanks for the answers!
Now first of all, ExynosAbuse would be perfect but does that support 4.1.2?
Also what comes to sidyah, does that support phones that are sim-locked? If so, how can i get rid of the operator sim-lock and is this risky?
And for the last: if i root my phone, can i get official updates in the future from samsung? Cause i don't wanna mess with the style that i got in my jelly bean quite like it, just want to get superuser-access.
So the app that i'm searching for is one click root that supports updates in future for 4.1.2. Is it impossible?
Thanks!
I'm with theunderling here.
I've always flashed via Odin woithout any problems and it very quick too. If you do everything right, it shouldn't take more than a minute, dead serious. 1 minute. Okay maybe more, but maximum 2 according to me
Just download tar or md5 file. Open Odin. Put the file in PDA. Then start. (and make sure Re-Partition is NOT checked)
(Im not going to give you step by step instructions cause that is for you to find out But i've actually helped you out alot
Good luck, and post for further question. Just dont forget to search before.
*EDIT* Yea, siyah is one of the best kernels, and dont worry everythin should be the same. You can get siyah kernel from gokhanmoral.com

You wanna flash the stock ROM option.
Now....looking at this closely I'm concerned about that "changes the time by itself" thing. Ask her if the device has been in touch with any kind of liquid (coffee, water, drink, etc).

I bought the S2 used.
Came with ICS 4.0.3.
Recently I flashed Omega Rom, why I need to follow the installation of Stock Rom? Because Omega is Sammy based?
So, in your opinion, I need to follow this:
"If you are installing a new STOCK ROM and want to do a Nuke/Wipe then:
1. Reboot into CWM Recovery
2. Install zip from SD card>Run GS2ROMWipe or GS2ROMNuke
3. Reboot into Download mode
4. Install your stock ROM via Odin
5. Re-root your device"
???
You're gonna flash a stock ROM after you wipe. Stock ROMs are great to see if an issue persists because, if it does, you need to start thinking about a hardware issue.
Did you ask her about the water/whatever?

Yes, and she told me that never came into contact with water or liquids.
So, summarizing and concluding, after doing the "[CWM UTIL] GS2ROMNuke/Wipe/Reset/Clean Scripts," I have flashing for example the official 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and then root?
Lastly, view what happens with the phone, right?
Exactly.

The only kernel that I have to root is the Siyah-v3.2b8.
You advise another or this is ideal?
In a few days i´m gonna try your solution... 4 days have passed and the phone has not given problems... weird...
If it's not giving you crap don't flash anything.
You could also flash stock and see how it goes.
Give it 2 weeks.

No, you can't use Odin to flash Slim. But you know what you can use XDA for? Reading. I'm sorry, but spoonfeeding is against XDA rules. Read up & flash slimbean. First you want a custom recovery & root, from there all you have to do is download the ROM and flash it according to the instructions in Slim OP. I'm not saying any more.

No one said you have to be a developer or expert. I'm certainly not. I only know what I know because I read things before attempting them. This isn't meant to be harsh, but right now your phone is in danger. Messing with your phone when you don't know what you're doing is a sure way to screw things up. So please do some reading. I already told you where to start, you need a custom recovery & root.

Good to hear.
The reason that everything looks small is that it's not standard dpi. Slim has default 182 dpi, stock is 240 dpi. You can change it, go to settings>interface>LCD density. Follow what it says there, the instructions work great there.
