Cause since I had upgraded from ICS to JELLY BEAN, it os definitly unclear to me, how a board type could change from msm7k to msm7627a? Or better ask, to which board type could it be also changed, without further problems?!
Hmm,not sure about this but you can try asking here http://stackoverflow.com/ .

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and also to this Smartphone world
I am planning to buy Galaxy S2 , but want to use ICS Stock UI ( I can wait for official ICS update or use some ICS ROM ) , but what I want to know is that how can I use default ICS Stock UI on my Galaxy S2.
And another question when we use unofficial ROM on our Android phone , what are the risks we should consider in terms of our personal data security and also the stability of our phone ?
Thanks,
Maverick

If you do some reading around the SGS2 forum, you'll find all of the information you seek. Or you could try google...either way, the powers that be here at XDA aren't very friendly to those who don't bother trying to research, read, or use the search function. I'm trying to be a bit more personable.
At the moment, ICS is in either the Alpha or Beta stage...meaning that it's still buggy and doesn't really function as a daily driver yet.
To get ICS right now, you have to flash a ROM...which involves root access. The risks are pretty high. You have the risk of bricking your phone, if you don't read the instructions and follow them exactly, which isn't always easy because you're not very likely to find exact instructions for your specific phone (the hardware specs will match, but the ROM/Radio/Modem numbers may be different which can lead to confusion). You also run the risk of voiding your warranty, which is a pretty significant one.
I flashed an ICS build yesterday, and then my S2 wouldn't charge. I eventually flashed back (thank God I had made a backup yesterday, and 2 days ago as the one from yesterday didn't work!)
As far as security goes, nothing really to worry about. Dev's don't build in Carrier IQ and don't really want your personal data. But the flip side is, that they don't get paid for what they do...so if you have a problem or 'eff something up, you're pretty much on your own. You can ask for help, but again, sometimes the dev's don't want to be bothered with a question if it's already been answered or if you could've found the answer by searching for it. This is where it gets rude, sometimes.
That's the long answer. The short answer is READ, READ, READ...everything about your phone and flashing ROM's. Start at the beginning of the forum, as that's where the 'stickies' are and work your way thru. ICS will be released officially and stably later.
Hope that helps.
Thanks ,
I have googled it and read some threads on this forum and on others as well... thats how I came to know that you can root your phone with unofficial ICS ROM... but wasn't sure that in that case , will I get ICS with TouchWiz or Stock UI...
And 2nd thing that if I screwed up what will happen to my personal data...
anyhow thanks for replying my (dumb ? ) question
Well, I've read a post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408312) because I'm interested to know if there's a possible way to cook ICS rom for my SGS Wifi 5.0 (a.k.a. Galaxy Player 5.0). I realized that nobody cares about this device, so I'm going farther to learn how I can do it myself... I started thinking that SGS Wifi 5.0 it's similar to Galaxy S in hardware (and there's some ICS roms for SGS), and also these two doesn't have ICS official support... WOW! yes, they're similar so I'm starting my adventure asking you if it's possible to get ICS (theoretically) in "every" device? (obviously, not every because of the hardware).
EDIT: I'm new at the forum, so if there's something wrong with the post, let me know

just 1 reason not to update:
if you use webtop on it's 2.3 state and like it, don't go to ICS. The webtop changes to an Tablet-like ICS...
but if this is unimportant for you, there's no reason not to update.
PS: 4.1 is already available as custom rom (camera seems to be the only thing that does not work)
when i see this rigth the different of the webtops are "just" that the 2.3 webtop shows me on one side the "normal" phone display and on ther other side the Special features, while the ics webtop, is "just" one huge huge tablet like display?
Hi, i just want to know if i can just straight away update my phone to Jellybean from Ice cream sandwich because my phone is rooted. Am i suppose to unroot it or can i just update? Thanks in advance.
Nope. It's device specific. A developer has to adapt drivers and other software to allow android to work with your hardware.
If you can find your device model on XDA, you'd probably find some jellybean ROMS (software) for your phone.
P.S. Go read android terminology and stickies!

Im, sorry I'm a little noob. I have Samsung s3 and I want the original firmware. How am I suppose to do it?
Just put a jelly bean rom on my phone works great part from the fact that my wireless/gps don't seem to work, i've tried Fastgps but that didn't fix the fault. seems that my radio/baseband might be out of date however i'm a little bit nervous about flashing it since i know it can damage your device if you pick the wrong one.
This trend helped a little bit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202
My current Baseband Version is12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Did you ever sort this out mate? I have same baseband, not getting GPS with some ROMs.
