If you're still on HC, its best to upgrade to stock ics first.

That's correct. Stock ICS will give you the correct Bootloader required for the custom ROM you wish to to flash.

Hi all
I decided to flash ics 4.0.3 leaked rom to my SGS2. It caused all sorts of problems such as apps not working, wifi issues, apps dissapearing from home screens, random lock ups and crashes.
So i decided i would flash back to a stock 2.3.4 rom and this is were problems started. I just get stuck in boot loops. Ive flashed on generic xeu roms that are for the uk with no luck. My phone came un branded when i bought it.
Ive tried older roms too all causing me the same problems. Im getting me roms from here and flashing using odin. It flashes fine but when i come to rebooting it just starts rebooting over and over.
Is there any reason for this? Is there a tried and tested uk rom i should be using?
If i flash the 4.0.3 rom it works everytime.
It sure sounds like your phone needs a factory reset.
Back up your current ROM with cw recovery and try it out.

Ok trying now. Thank you for your help so far.
Factory reset fixed my issue thank you so much. I can now update via kies and wait for an official release of ics to come out. Thanks again.

Look for it in settings/privacy or boot into cw recovery if you have that installed.

Hi
Tried a quick search but got overwhelmed with the info
I've had my gs2 since launch and I rooted it and run check checkrom v6 at the moment. I want to upgrade to ics but unsure which way to go as there is a lot of conflicting info
Any advice would be appreciated

Do you want stock ICS or a custom rom ?

You just need to decide if you want a stock or a custom ROM.
As your running checkrom you're obviously not a stranger to flashing ROMs so just do a bit of research into some and flash.
Make a back using clockwork mod and if you want to go back to your old set up you can
A few custom ROMs to try are:
Ressurection Remix
Slim ICS
Elite Rom
Cyanogenmod 9
Will probably try cyanogenmod.
Is it pretty much just flash through cmw as before?
sent from my fat little fingers
I would suggest rootbox. There is an ICS version and a JB, which is actually really stable
Thanks for the reply
This is where I got confused lol so is root box the new cwm? Or do I use cmw to flash root box then use root box to flash an ics rom?
I'm getting to old for all this

Rootbox is an version of ICS. You use cwm to flash Rootbox (an ics rom)

I would recommend flashing a stock ICS ROM first and from there on flashing the ROM you actually want.

Yes, that is all it is about. Make a nandroid backup first. Then wipe it clean, cache and data, and then flash whatever ROM you choose.
I can relate to your problem, s2 seriously has a lot of ROMs so try them and stick with that which YOU like personally. If you want you can try CM9 only first or any other. Just go to that ROM's thread and they mention how to flash in the OP.

Why? There's so many people like this on xda who say this, but when I asked the Devs, its not even necessary or doesn't help.
I never ever flashed an ics rom and I went straight from stock gb to custom ics without a problem.

Mmm I've never heard this or done it. I've always completed full wipe (cache dalvik and factory) followed by format system and never had a problem

No, the other guy was talking about the ROM, not the wiping. But some roms like neatrom needs no wipe

Hi all!
I was flashing lite'ning rom. Did everything just as the post did but my phone is stucked at the samsung screen.
It is important to let you know that I used this rom before, then correclty flashed cm9, then RGUI V10. Then I decided to flash lite'ning again but went unsuccesful.
Can anyone help?
My phone is able to go in download mode. It is the international version of the SIII in Mexico
Thanks!

Try wiping /system before flashing the rom again. If it doesn't work. Then get yourself an Odin compatible stock ROM to flash... if you can get in to download mode then you will be fine. But try the first step and see how it goes.

My phone is stuck on the samsung screen. Flashed odin. Can't even get into recovery mode. It does nothing.
Im using the Siyah-I777-v7.6.4-S kernal and did the norm whipe and all the cachs and such downloaded the rom 3-4 times on pc on phone directly and still get the error no matter what any help would be great thanks if you can tell me what kernel you are useing with this rom and were to get it thanks.
you have posted in the wrong section for one. to get rid of that error you need to odin back to stock and then root it and have cwm. then flash again. no other way of doing it. you could have asked in the jellybam thread. it has already been stated how to do it.

It's an error with the build prop. When I went from JellyBam to Avatar ROM I had the same issue. I fixed the build prop, and deleted the assert in the updater script

Might be a dumb question but is that the same kernel that came with thw rom? I had to wipe my phobe last night and reinstall an old rom to get a new one on there because I tried using a different kernel and I started getting a boot loop

Wouldn't be, that kernel was made by AJ for Sammy JB ROMs.

so i can using the same kernel i installed get hte shosock rom to work but i can not get this one to work i even reinstalled the task650 aokp rom and then did the whip and all that and still can not this rom to install my problem and the reason im going from the task 650 rom to a different one is battery life with the task650 my battery would drop like a percent a min and was killing me i want to have a JB 4.2.1 rom would like the multi window option like shoshock rom but i love the aokp stuff so any other rom options with kernals would be wonderful or mods but currently im got the sohshock rom on it 4.2.1 NS WILL GIVE IT A TRY FOR A WILE AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS i dont think im going to stay with it thow cus there not that much to change to customize .
This does not belong in the development section. Continue the conversation through PM and ask a dev to move it to q&a.

That is not correct. It is made for CM based ROMs and made to work on Samsung JB ROMs as a plus.
And this is in the wrong section.....please move this to the Q&A section.

Hi, I need to sell my tab and want to revert back to full stock. Today it has omni 4.4.2.
Can someone write me please short steps to revert it back? What is the best official ROM ?
Thank you
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda premium
Just go to sammobile.com, download any stock ROM, and flash it with Odin. That will make your tab good as new.
Which one to flash? I remember some problems with WiFi and battery in some versions of 4.0
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda premium
All of them are the same. I don't remember any problems with WiFi tho. There is a deep sleep issue but that is only fixable by installing a custom kernel.
I just flashed this one P7500AILA1_P7500TIMKK1_TIM.zip with Odin
but it ask me password after reboot...
What is it?
