If your device is rooted, then you can download JB rom and flash it without going through ICS update

It's an international version and I should install Odin select the rom in PDA and put my phone in download mode and click start in Odin right ?
Got ya I'll look around but I've never had to use Odin to flash anything besides to do the rooting process u would just need to get into ur recovery mode ether using clockwork mod or teamwin pro an that's how u would flash a ROM to the s2

Lol you don't need to be rooted inorder to flash a stock ROM
1. Yes you can flash a JB firmware directly
Go to here and find your fitting firmware. You can check by going to setting>about phone
Do you know how to flash this stock rom with Odin?
*edit - you will be unrooted when you flash stock JB rom so you will have to root it again using any JB-rooting method

Ahh I think yes I will explain but ok correct me if I am wrong I will put my phone in download mode and go to Odin select the rom using PDA and start the process,right ?But I was told sometimes it gets stuck so can I interrupt the process and restart the phone and the process again ?
Thank you all for the help:
Oh so then u are trying to get the ota update thru Odin I was asking if u wanted to just flash a updated ROM that's different but if u needed I got this ROM list from Google it shows a list of ROMs for the i9100 international but there also is another forum that's a i9100g here's the link anyways for reference--->

no need to flash the firmware through odin..
go to cwm recovery.. wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and factory reset(if you like) and flash it through the recovery!

the recovery you have is the stock recovery.. and for flashing roms and stuff you require cloxkworkmod recovery!
so i would have to ask are you rooted?! if yes then how did you root your device..?

Start reading on how to root and installing kernel with CWM Recovery. SGS kernel and recovery parttions are the same.
Easiest way is flash Chainfire's CF-Root kernel with Odin here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
There are many other ways; Intratech has a quick root guide in post #1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Read, read and read some more until your confident to do it. Otherwise don't.
Please also read the "Stickies" in each forum and FAQ etc and search for answers BEFORE posting.
Best of luck
And if you really want to try ice cream sandwich, i will advice you to go with cm9 first as it delivers the smoothest of the experience with almost no force closes or random reboots. You arr aware of the fact that you are going to flash an expermental build right. Its not stable for daily use yet.

This is my first post and i was wondering if people could answer some questions i have.
First off heres my phones specs
Samsung galaxy s2
Model number
GT-I9100
Android version
4.0.3
Baseband version

I've rooted my phone using rachmat3 method and thats how far i've got because only just got phone as a gift and im scared to flash a new rom incase i brick my phone.
Is it safe to use the cwm.zip to flash a rom that i used from rachmat3 root method or do i need a updated version of cwm?
Can someone recommend a fully working paranoid android rom that i can use for daily use?
Which kernel would be best to use with paranoid android rom?
Should i flash a kernel before i flash a rom?
If i install paranoid android rom would i then have a permanant cwm on my device or would i still need to use my temporery cwm.zip?
What is the chances of me bricking my phone?

Flash what ever rom u want till its for GT-I9100
No need to worry
Just read the specific rom instructions carefully
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes mate now u can flash any Rom ....Just read the instruction before flashing
I would advise you to flash a safe kernel first before doing any wipe and flashing any roms. Siyah is a safe bet.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
1. Download ROM Manager and you'll be able to flash any ROMs you wish using that.
2. All the PA versions are working fine, so just browse through and choose for yourself.
3. Asking questions like that is against forum rules because they often lead to arguments. The best advice is just to download and flash different kernels and stick with which ever one you're happy with.
4. It really doesn't matter in which order you flash them. The result is still the same. I personally always flash the ROM first, but it doesn't make a difference.
5. If you use ROM Manager, as mentioned previously, even if you have to do a full wipe when flashing a different ROM, it doesn't matter because you can simply download it again anyway. Or just save it to your SD card.
6. The changes if bricking your phone are higher if you're worried about it. Just be sure to read all instructions given about installation and follow them perfectly and you'll be fine.
If after reading about flashing ROMs you are still worried, then you're better off waiting for a bit until you've done more research into what exactly is needed.
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
Thanks for your replys.
just follow the steps mentioned and follow some video (like on youtube) and it'll be easy!
Would it be to much to ask if someone could put a link to the right paranoid android rom for my phone please

Most ROM zips include kernels, so if somebody wants to stay with the same kernel, then it's necessary to flash custom kernel again.

You will need a pc if for example you flash a kernel and somethings not right.You cant get cwm, only download mode.
That happened to me when I flashed a siyah kernel.Phone was stuck and I couldnt boot into cwm.Only way to fix was boot to download mode and use odin/pc.

If the Important DATA is stored in ur phones Internal Sdcard (the 11.5 gb partition) then u can safely flash any stock firmware from ODIN
for stock firmwares u can check.
www.samfirmware.com or www.sammobile.com
and u can easily search for a video guide on youtube on how to flash a stock firmware on i9100 using ODIN.
......or you could check the stickyed threads on this forum right here on XDA for Odin flashing instructions.... No need to look elsewhere on the web when everything you need is RIGHT HERE......
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
well its a CWM prob
1. search threads for how to flash stock rom back via odin

well modded roms are like for example
some devs take the stock rom push their kernals with some minor or major tweaks
it might be in UI or apps or can be of anything
in simple works taking a stock rom or any other rom and overlaying it with some tweaks

Why you don't update to 4.3? I has been reading the forum and i think that it's better to the phone be updated.

Go read the sticky thread in general forum, you are missing most basic knowledge.
As above, updating to latest stock rom is recommended. 4.0 will kill the phone memory.
