If you're a bloody noob and getting confused by following simple instructions, go down and read about using the noob-proof ODIN method.
First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Galaxy S II, or coming from another ROM:
- READ FAQs: http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.p...sked_Questions
- Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders lower than LPH: Download (flash as PDA with odin or extract and $ sudo heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin)
- make sure you're running a proper working CWM like the one from CM7
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip
- Flash GApps zip
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your calendar sync will not work)
- Reboot
- Don't restore Apps using Titanium Backup!
Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9:
- Copy CM9 ZIP to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip
- Wipe cache partition and dalvik-cache
- Reboot
Using the noob-proof ODIN method:
- Download CM9 Resurrection Edition
- Download GApps and put it onto your internal sdcard
- Open Odin
- Choose cm-9-XXXXXXXX-ODIN-galaxys2.tar.md5 as PDA
- Boot your phone into download mode
- Connect your device via usb to your computer
- Wait till Odin has fully recognized your phone
- Hit the start button and wait till the flash process is finished
- Device boots automatically into recovery
- Flash GApps, wipe cache and dalvik-cache
- Reboot into CM9
- Follow above steps to update CM9 to lastest available version (Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9)
should i do the noob list?
will it erase all my phone and make a clean install? (thats what i want)

Yes, do only this, and yes it will wipe everyone.
Do nothing, from clock work mod format data, system, cache, now flash from internal SD card. Don't have to do anything.
And do not restore anything from cm7. No titanium backups/restores

so i actually installed it but i still have all the folders from CM7 like program and games folders and all the attachments i downloaded from emails and stuff.
how do i erase them all?
Just to be sure, you are ok with whole sd format? Easiest way imo is just doing the full wipe from recovery and just install the zip. You could also format sd from there so pictures and everything deletes

already told you read again, unless you are talking about the left overs, for that wipe the internal storage.
so what i did was, i erased everything manually from the sd card, but i have noticed that the phone is using the external SD card to save eeeeverything from pictures to App data and the internal memory is empty.
what do i do?

woot woot!! thanks!
I am new with this phone, I really have read all the tuts and almost every thread but i have some questions, i want to flash ICS but i want to have a backup of my Rom(gingerbread), i have search for my rom on sammobile and on the thread and it doesnt appear is from iusacell carrier in mexico
Product code-GT-I9100LKLIUS
PDA- I9100UHLA2
CSC- I9100IUSLA1
PHONE- I9100UHKK1
what i should do? and where i can get the stock rom?
you have to Root and install CWM your phone for backing up the Current (GB),
Read the guides for rooting, Backing up, flashing Roms etc.. from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442549
CF-root is the best method for rooting, which will give you CWM also.
read the CF-root link from my signature and select the one (LA2) for your phone.
Hey,
just a few steps:
1) Download Odin (http://androidfirmwares.net/Tools)
2) Download root kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399)
-- just scroll down and search for ur version (LA2)
3) Flash it via Odin
-- Extrect .zipl
-- load the root kernel in Odin (as PDA)
-- Put SGSII in download mode (Vol-, Home and Powerbutton)
-- Press "Start"
4) Then start phone in recovery mode (Vol+, Home and Powerbutton)
5) Check if u have enough space for backup on sd card (to be sure: 2GB)
6) Go to:
-- Backup and restore
-- Backup to internal sd card
-- confirm it and then let do the phone the backup (can take a while [5-20 min])
U r done with Backup!!!
Now start the process for ICS.
If u want a Custom Rom:
1) Choose one and download
2) Put on sd internal sd card
3) Go into recovery mode (see above)
4) DO A FULL WIPE!! (U won't loose ur backup on sd card [but u copy it to PC, too if u want])
-- wipe data/ factory reset
-- wipe cahe partition
-- advanced > wipe dalvik cache
-- mount and storage > format data/system/cache
5) Then flash Rom via recovery
-- install .zip from sd card > choose .zip from sd card
-- Select the downloaded Custom Rom and flash it
6) Reboot and u r done!
If stock firmware:
a] Via Kies
b] Flash firmware via Odin
1) download actual ICS firmware -- Link
2) Load Files in Odin -- Link
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Hope I could help.

Hi there.
I have an S2 (GT-I9100) running a rooted stock 2.3.5 (!) firmware.
I have Clockwork mod 4.0.0.2 installed.
Can I just download a regular intl release and have it installed by following the simple instructions on the main thread or am I missing anything?
Would it be a matter of simply restoring my backup if I screw up?
Thanks.
Make a nandroid backup with ur CWM.
Recovery mode > backup and restore > create backup (choose if internal sd or to external)
Now u have a backup u anyway (if phone boots ) can restore if something happens.
- For flashing load the CM files + newest gapps to sd card
- Than backup all apps u need
- go to recovery and do a full wipe (!)
* wipe data / factory reset
* wipe cache
* advanced > wipe dalvik cache
* mount and storage > format data/system/cache
- flash the Rom (CM)
- flash gapps
- Reboot
That's it!
PS: if u want to go back just go to recovery mode and go to backup and restore > restore (choose where u backup data)

Make sure you run the latest CWM before flashing 10.1 or you might encounter some issues.
Thanks all.
So CWM 4.0.0.2 will not be good enough?
Is there an easy way to upgrade cwm to the latest textual version? (4.0.1.5 if I am not mistaken). Do I have to go through the "guess which image/kernel to put" all over again?
Thanks again.
My GT-S5830i is bricked, but the recovery mode is still working. I have the problem since I would flash CWM6, but that version is for GT-S5830 and I have a GT-S5830i (but the site where I downloaded that says that it's for GT-S5830 and GT-S5830i) In the recovery mode there's an error that /system can't mount. How can I fix that?

I think we should try to install original firmware for S5830i, with Odin.
You can read here and here.
Try first to understand what you want to do.
If you're not sure that you understand, looking to read more.
Be very careful and you'll succeed.

Normally when somebody soft-bricked his/her device , i would go with the solution @ post#4 , instruction part . But you have access to recovery and assuming you were on stock Rom /Stock kernel, before bricking it mate . For you device I would strongly suggest temporary CWM 5.0.2.6/5.0.2.8 zip flash-able file from here for instance ( for CWM6+ , you can read my explanation, why i did not recommended it for now ; post#6 ). Put this zip file inside root of your SD card / pick one custom Rom based on stock kernel , which is already rooted ( i,e: GB 2.3.6 & Stock Kernel] Ace-i-Sure v.12.0.0 ) > inside root of SD card as well.
Now follow this procedure :
- Turn off your phone
- Go to recovery mode (Stock Recovery 3e) <<Home screen button + Power button + Volume up key>>
- Select install update from SD and select the CWM temp zip file , flash it and get into CWM
- wipe data / reset; Wipe cache partition ; Advanced > Wipe Dalvik cache
-Mounts and storage > Format the following partitions : /data ; /system/ ; /cache ; /sd-ext if available .
-Mount and storage > mount everything you see (when something is mounted then it will show "unmount". If it shows "mount" then it is not mounted)
-Flash the ROM. (Install zip from sd card) follow the process inside the OP of ROM :
Select wipe data / reset and Confirm the action
Select wipe cache partition and Confirm the action
Select install zip from sd and select the rom zip file & Confirm the action
-Reboot

I have not ever used the phone on Linux.
There are several alternatives for Linux, but I think a little more difficult.
So.
If you want to use Odin, now or in the future, you should get a PC or a Laptop with Windows.
You will also need to install on Windows the drivers for Samsung.

I know that there is a tool called Heimdall and it's available for Linux, OS X and Windows and it does the same as Odin. Could I use that tool or is @ehsanotaku solution better/safer?

@ehsanotaku gave you all the explanations you need.
"Would i go with the solution @ post # 4" here also he refer to Odin.
But also refers to a custom ROM which I installed myself on a S5830i and witch it is ok.
For Odin you need a firmware for S5830i.
You can download it from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-S5830i/BTU/
This address is found also in the explanations of @ehsanotaku.
I know about Heimdall, but I have not used, as long as Odin works very well.
So.
Read carefully all posts of @ehsanotaku.

Can I download the PDA.tar from here and flash it on my phone using:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel PDA.tar
and then install Ace-i-Sure?
What should I do now @beegeero or @ehsanotaku?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
@wb9688, OK , I start with what methods do not work on your Lubuntu 14.10 , which is in reality a light weight flavor of Ubuntu , based on Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment of course . You are either on a very old PC or suffering from a low spec such as Ram etc etc , So I am assuming chance of making a dual boot system with minimum 1 GB ram and probably very low storage hard is out of the picture , correct me if i am wrong . 1-Virtualization with the help of Virtualbox/parallel/Vmware and creating of virtual guest machine for windows 7/xp/8 inside of your Ubuntu based OS won't work , because in virtual environment Phone work only in USB Mass Storage mode but not in download mode. 2-Heimdall cross - platform do not work on Ace devices , this solution is only applied to Galaxy S and tab variant such as :
GT-I9000
GT-I9100[T]
GT-I9300
GT-I9505
SGH-I727
SGH-I777
SGH-I927
SGH-I797
please do not flash kernel and that pda.tar .
3.Making a boot- able windows 7 USB might let you to install Odin, never tested it ( For requirement and tools , Google it )
4.Wine does not convert Odin executable successfully as far as i know .
let's back to the instruction at hand mate , which obviously failed to format your /system partition manually , due to incorrect recovery image you did use possibly or other thing you have done and did not provide sufficient output for troubleshooting .
Another alternative that does not require flashing Odin over windows is ,the EXT4 Formatter tool ( formats important partitions into RFS <stock fw> or ext4 and vice verse to get out of this part) .
After wiping data /cache/Dalvik , rather than formatting /system manually; flash this tool < post#8> put it inside the root of SD card .
If your partitions being transformed into RFS , without st19 Invalid argument and such , proceed with the rest of the instruction .
IF your partitions being transformed into ext4 , you need to follow post#4 , starts from line '- Flash kernel_CM7_v4.0_cooperVe ....' no need to say you must put SLIM_CM7.2_Cooperve #4 and kernel inside the root of SD card .
If all failed , the only option to counter /system partition corruption is Odin , as i explained the whole process in post#4 . ( make sure to flash correct CWM this time ).
Today I was by a friend (with a Windows notebook) and try to flash that pda.tar using odin, but odin don't view my phone and Windows give the error "device is not good connected"...

You need to use 3 parts-split wipe package as i have instructed ( PDA/MODEM/CSC) , pit file and boot loader ; re-partition enabled , not a single pda file; Please read to understand my comments provided for you . For connection issues , make sure you have installed appropriate drivers and other requirements have met ( this post )
Edit: did you try my previous proposal in regards of formatter tools ?
