OK, I have a galaxy S2 I9100 (to be rooted) stock ICS 4.0.4 baseband version I9100DDLPC and build number IMM76D.XWLQ2.
+ I have an insane chip
I have gone through a lot of threads and I am confused.
I found the root guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105
I want to follow the first step (for phones with brick bug).
After doing that, i want to get rid of my stock kernel. Can I flash the Siyah kernel through stock recovery? Which version of Siyah kernel is the latest while being safe from the brick bug?
Just flash a custom kernel via Odin and you'll have root access and you don't have to worry about the brick bug anymore (Siyah is safe). Check www.gokhanmoral.com for the version you need for ICS.
Thanks...

Thanks for the quick reply!
One more thing, after flashing Siyah suppose I want to install cm10/10.1, I just have to full wipe in cwm and flash the cm10 zip file right?
And is the CyanogenMod 10 kernel safe from the brick bug?

Read the thread for the particular version of CM you want to flash; read the first page for the instructions (which will be very clear) & follow those to the letter, then read the last 10-20 pages to get an idea of people's experiences with that version so you know what to expect.
Simple.
And yes, custom kernels are safe from the whole brick bug-thing.
Ive got to say that the brickbug only applies to 4.0.4 stock firmware.
Its not a case of flashing siyah etc and the brickbug is gone "forever".
Its only gone if you dont run 4.0.4 stock ever again.So if you have to revert back to a stock rom, pick GB or 4.0.3 for your country etc and you wont have to worry.
Only saying in case you dont know.
you could also flash official 4.1.2, that should not contain the brick bug.

help me please because i don't want lose the device
Simply flash the stock ICS roms available for i9100G and you will be fine.
It is safe, just flash it or upgrade it. emmc bug is not a bug at all as you can still access your external SD card. No worries, you can still revert back to your stock rom by using Odin to flash the Stock GB rom. (If you really think you still want it..)
ICS is as stable as it is out there right now, if you worried, upgrade to stock ICS using Kies and then flash Codeworkx CWM Kernel, then use the CWM to flash the Divine Rom from Samyam2000 to retain the stock feel but optimised ICS, definately better than stock.. .then move on the the infinite world of flashing
MODS: Please move this Post!!

Every one whome I asked they told me that there is emmc bug in all stock rom and there is some thing Prevent it from happening in the G one, so I want to be sure :/
Google "EMMC bug". It's a known fault with a small number of phones and can be fixed. The amount of people this bug terrifies is ridiculous. Just forget about it, if your phone doesn't have it (which it almost definitely doesn't) then go, if it does, then your phone will be hard bricked and you can get a replacement.
Hello community,
I want to root and flash CyanogenMod 10.1 to the s2 of a friend of mine. I already did it on my phone but this time I'm not sure which kernel I should use...
The last time I used CF-root because it was clear which version to use. This time there isn't even a close match to any of the version listed there.
Here the phone information:

It's a German phone so the information is also in German.
Basisband = baseband
Nummer = number
So there aren't any letters in the kernel version and I don't know which kernel to flash now..
I posted this here because I'm not allowed to post anything in the cf-root thread. Sorry for that

AFAIK there is no matching CF root for ur LQ6 kernel ma8.
Hence try rooting ur phone using Siyah kernel v5.0.1 (tar file for ODIN) using 'ODIN' to get CWM and SuperSu installed with it.
After that reboot to siyah recovery and make a Nandroid backup of ur phone.
then install the CM10.1 official nightlies and boot ur phone, once done u can change ur kernel to latest Dorimanx v7.33
Hi guys
I flashed CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPY-v5.6-CWM5 with odin3 v1.85
all done and shows Pass on Odin. on reboot it shows yellow triangle and displays goes off and phone is not starting
download mood and CWM is working i also installed neatrom 4.8 but it is still the same.
nead to fix this please help
Sounds like you've either used the wrong CFRoot, you've used one that has problems mounting secure storage (can't be bothered checking the one you used myself), or it's simply barfed for some reason. As long as you're not running Android 4.0.4 (VERY IMPORTANT, CHECK THIS FIRST !), boot into recovery & do a wipe/factory reset.
If you are running 4.0.4 or if the wipe doesn't work or you have no recovery, go back to stock via Odin to get a clean slate & try again (maybe do a bit more research first; these problems can almost always be avoided by doing same).
Cf root...wow thats old way. What firmware are you on mate?
i am using 4.1.2 official i have done a wipe/factory reset and its still the same
now what should i do? if you suggest me to do stock rom again could you please suggest me the link for best stock rom sgs2 4.1.2
it will be appriciable
I already told you in my PP.
There is no best stock rom; they're all the same apart from crap individual carriers put in them & differences in the modems. Get one for your carrier; it's not important which one (as long as it isn't 4.0.4 - stay away from those completely) given you're likely going to re-root your phone/flash a custom kernel/rom/whatever immediately after.
Go to Samfirmware, use the pulldown boxes, download the rom, flash it with Odin. You should know this stuff before you start trying to flash custom roms/kernels.
CF-ROOT is for ICS.Go back to odin and \flash siyah v6 or PhilZ !

First, your screenshot says Galaxy Nexus, so I'm going to assume you've edited the build.prop to reflect that (this is based on the fact you're running an i777 modem).
Anyway, simply install a JB kernel and flash the rom of your choice. Refer to the OP in this thread for the most current and stable kernel for the i777. You'll need to select the correct kernel for the rom you want to flash - be it Samsung or AOSP. There are over 4,000 comments in that thread, any questions you might have about what to flash will be there.

Yes I recall making changes using build.prop. I have been out of this game and very rusty. Could you please elaborate on selecting the correct kernel for the rom.
If your phone is rooted with CWM recovery you only need install a custom ROM it includes its own kernel. A good JB ROM is the Shostock3 see here and follow the installations instructions:

Like boomboomer said more detail is needed their are many reasons why you lose imei one of the main ones is upgrade from efs v1 to efs v2 if you post the information that @boomboomer as asked for then he and others including myself will be able to answer your question better.
i just followed the procedure here:
http://www.android.gs/install-paranoid-android-4-6-beta-rom-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300/
also this one procedure
http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/install
