Flash CyanogenMod 10.1 !

Hey, if you have already rooted, I assume you have also installed clockwork mod recovery.
Make sure you have jelly bean kernel installed on your phone.
Then you now need to download custom rom. Personally jelly bam rom is my favorite. It combines the features of cyanogenmod and aokp.
Google "jelly bam" go to their official site, download jelly bam 7.8(their latest rom with Android 4.2.2) or you wanna go for any other rom, go ahead and download it. All roms comes in zip files. Don't extract it, place the zip file in your sdcard, boot the phone in recovery mode(vol up+ home+ power)
Do wipe data/factory reset
Clear cache partitions
Go to advance and clear dalvik cache
Select install from zip, select sd card and choose the rom zip file you have copied and click install. Phone will reboot and you are done!
Sorry if I was too lengthy

However the answer has been given to you in a very kind way, next time search for your questions. This is like the basic here on xda, so do some effort for yourself.

You haven't told us which kernel you are using yet. You are not clear about what errors you're getting. There are thousands of threads regarding how to root and install custom rom. You need to check the threads before creating a new one as per the rule of xda.

yeah you can.. what's great about this S2 is that you can basically match up almost anything as long as it is meant for that OS firmware stuffs don't matter unlike that of the Galaxy S1

Because, 4.0.4 has brick bug on its stock kernel, you only have two options.
1. Flash a prerooted ICS 4.0.4 firmware via CWM recovery, then flash a custom kernel via temporary CWM recovery.
2. Flash ICS 4.0.4 firmware via Odin. You will lose ROOT and CWM recovery, then flash a custom kernel via Odin to have ROOT and CWM recovery back.
Which option are you going for?

First things first, root your phone, install custom recovery and BACKUP!
Only then should you dabble with other things.
No, you don't need to install anything before installing the 4.1.2 ROMs, but a wipe is recommended.
Happy flashing!

[Q] Rooted but not sure how to upgrade from 2.3.5 to latest cynanogenmod

Hey Guys,
I just rooted my S2 and want to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-official-nightly-t2604068 however it says that I "Must be at least once on stock ICS or JB before attempting!".
I don't know how I am supposd to upgrade my 2.3.5 so that this is possible...
Any advice?
Since you're rooted, install Mobile Odin Pro from Play Store, then download the 4.1.2 firmware for your I9100G by googling the term "offcial 4.1.2 stock firmware for I9100G" and downloading the zip file associated and extracting the .tar file that comes inside. Then, extract the .tar file to your SD card and go to Mobile Odin Pro app and choose to flash the extracted .tar file. It takes some time but it should update your phone to android 4.1.2 and then you can install a custom kernel for your 4.1.2 firmware which supports CWM recovery. I recommend PhilZ kernel which comes with CWM. Note that you need CWM 6.0.4.5 and above to flash a KitKat based ROM (such as Cyanogenmod 11 in your case). There you go, your phone will run the ROM you asked for and much of what I mentioned can simply be googled here and there for more details. Good luck

They didn't have them either, I used Kies to update to 4.1.2 and rooted by flashing CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip and it worked fine.
I've now got to find a rom that I like, originally I liked the look of the cynanogenmod 4.4 rom but im looking for a rom/kernel with the best battery life :/

If you need a 4.2.2 Touchwiz ROM, try Revolution Rom UX build 2 by tutangigi, and use stable dorimanx kernel v9.43. SuperNexus 2.0 is good too if you like stable Vanilla AOSP Android. As for Android 4.3, I used SlimBean 4.3 build 2.2. Good luck

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
A lot of various continued development and support for older roms in the s2 area which is odd to see.
I'm looking to pretty much maximise battery life, the dorimanx kernel looks to be the right kernel for me but unsure elsewhere.
What's better on battery 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4? Does ART in 4.4 help battery wise?

No you won't lose any phone data...
Just download correct version of kernel which is for 4.1.2 because there is another version in development for 4.3 android
Just download zip. Place it your phone
Go to recovery and flash it from where you have saved it..
That's it
Now reboot...
Nothing else required...
