Many Thanks

Android version 4.0.4 is ICS and Android v4.1 is Jelly Bean for u
Try to Dwnld Siyah Kernel v4.1.5 (Tar file for Odin) and flash the same using 'Odin' software on ur PC
U can search on Xda for 'Odin Flash' guides for S2

if u do the same ur phone will be rooted and u can install some custom roms/kernels of ur choice from the siyah recovery and see if it suits ur requirements
after installing the Siyah kernel u will be safe from the 'Brick bug' the v4.0.4 is baned with
u can use 'Titanium backup' or 'My backup' apps from store and backup ur data/contacts on the phone after rooting
u can make a nandroid backup of ur phone with the stock firmware running now , so that in case u need to install stock rom back, u can simply restore this backup from recovery

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.

[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

Installed rooted Kernel like Siyah
Install Custom ROM (4.1.2)
Flash new Modem if needed

Yes, thats what u need to do
after flashing the ICS rom configure ur phone and restore all ur data, then use the siyah kernel to root it
i have the same setup (S2 9100 with rooted 2.3.3).
what happens if i install CM 10.1 directly (via CWM)?
i mean without the 4.0.3 step first...
Nothing happen u just install cm and that's it a to do better job after flashing cm10.1 flash kernel dorimanx 7.47

hi guys, im noobie in flashing

Software number 1.13.651.7
Kernel version
2.6.35.10-gcb1cf83
Baseband Version

Build number
1.13.651.7 CL83920 release-keys
i like to update to 4.0.3 to stock rom i see some news on internet that you can update it from HTC site
but links already dead!!
do i need to root it and SF-OFF to do this update?
what would be the best quick procedure to doit?
Please pass me link, thank you in advance!
Reviving the thread a bit:
Is there a reason not to flash 4.1.2 (Stock Custom) directly over 2.3.3?
can i use SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1 on stock 4.0.4 rooted
i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 method to root
i am running stock 4.0.4 with root
is this kernal safe for me http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?p=1536
the kernal is SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1
thanks
No v5.0.1 are used for roms with new mali drivers i believe.(someone correct me if it works for stock roms) You can use v4.1.5. Although its safer to flash ICS 4.0.3.

Yea, its pretty much safe to use this Kernel with Samsung Stock ROM 4.0.4 to get rid of brickbug. I've tried it and its working fine.
Now I'm going to try one of those custom ROMs available here
as I can't wait anymore for Samsung to provide me the latest Jelly Bean ROM.
Go ahead with flashing Siyan v5.01, its safe.

New mali drivers?? Anyway you should realize the most suggested method to avoid brick bug in 4.0.4 ics is installing Siyah 5.0.1 because it's the stablest kernel in many ways.

yes its absolutely safe! i had siyah kernel 4.1.5 and just updated ti to siyah 5.0.1, every thing fine and i got an app stweaks, and i feel nthing difference by the way!
another thing-->it feels that my battery is draining a bit faster thn before.
i would seggest that update ur kernel only and only if u want to run cynogenmod10 JB on it, otherwise leave fone with siyah v4.1.5!
I want to do the same on SGS2
Presently running 4.0.3
I intend to use Philz temporary CWM recovery to flash the Siyah 5.0.1 and CM 10.1
Do-able?
Thanks

Just reboot into download mode and flash the .tar version of Siyah. No need to go through any other kernels/recovery first.

Mate....you REALLY need to do some searching and reading before you touch your phone.
You ask for 4.2.2 firmware.....it doesn't exist....4.1.2 firmware is the newest.
You can get newer versions of android in custom ROMs.....but....
SEARCH READ UNDERSTAND LEARN......THEN AND ONLY THEN...DO......
some search suggestions.....
emmc brickbug
Odin flashing
kernel
Rooting
Firmware
custom ROM
Knowledge will help to prevent you from turning your S2 into an expensive paperweight. It's no good providing links unless you know/understand what you're doing......
