[Q] Is it safe to flash rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Due to the brick bug on my device shown by eMMC app, is it safe to flash an CM10 nightly rom onto it through clockworkmod. I first flashed a siya v5.0.1 kernel on my s2 using odin, ran smoothly, then applied the helly bean custom Rom and everything is running smoothly. But my kernel has changed and the eMMC app is still saying that I have a insane chip.
Details:
i9100
android version: 4.1.2
Baseband: I9100XXLQ6
Kernel: 3.0.15-CM-g39df795 [email protected] #1 Thu Nov 15 16:37:09 CET 2012
CyanogenMod Version: helly_bean_i9100
Build Number: cm_i9100-userdebug 4.1.2 JZO54K eng.dominik 20121115.152944 test-keys
I am still a beginner and really worried that if i don't have the right mod or kernel I will brick my s2...
Any advice,
Thanks!

Yes. Unless you're running an affected kernel & plan on doing a wipe, forget about the brick bug. It's been done to death/blown out of all proportion. No need to worry about it if you're careful/do your research.

It is safe if You use safe kernel, latest releases are safe but always do you reading b4 flashing anything. See changelog and relase info of a kernel developer. Usually it is written there if the kernel is brick bug safe.

you dont need to downgrade, but to upgrade to an ICS stock version, your kernel is for GB and ICS kernel is needed, flash right fastbootfile for ics and your region

Cyanogenmod 10.1 (CM 10.1) is based on Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 is available from Pershoot. Also available is Carbon Mackay ROM which is a hybrid of CM10.1, Infamous ROM and Paranoid ROM all based on the same JB 4.2.2. Besides the two already stated are the two implied: Infamous and Paranoid which are AOKP based while CM10.1 is AOSP based. From this you can conclude that carbon Mackay is actually a blend of the two ROM projects. Test them and pick whichever serves you best.
Cheers.

S3 i9300 doesn't have Knox so it should work well
