How to upgrade? Kies doesnt show a thing . 🙁
Hi Mims, install it with Odin. Detail instructions at XDA website.

Not sure stable or not as I did not try it.

Nope.
Hi Jayce,
Does S II need to be rooted before install ICS? Thank you.
Nope. Note – this is beta ICS firmware. Only flash it if you know how to revert back to Gingerbread. 😉

Q1, 2012.
Hello Jayce… is it better than XXLP2… because I tried the XXLP6… it was not good for me… lots of restart and less battery life… I reverted back to XXLP2.. which I found far best…. Please do let know if better and also is updated log in possible which was not connecting to server in XXLP6….
Many thanks….
Hi DK, I did not try most of the beta ICS firmware like this too. No idea. Sorry…
Hai Jayce, if i’m using checkrom and wish to backup all my contact log and sms …
how to backup the stuff if i flash the ics with odin straight from checkrom?
Use Titanium Backup.
Hi Jayce.
I hadinstalled XXLPB from xda-dev site. My phone firmware data reads as below.
Baseband ver – I9100XXLPB
Kernel – 3.0.15-I9100XXLPB-CL99600 se.infra@SEI-44#3
Build – IML74K.XXLPB
Okay . my question is why the build no read as IML instead of ICS.
Secondly i tried to root my phone using the kernel CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5. After rooting i got a yellow triangle at start up. I tried both the methods ie with and without usb jig to remove the triangle. But for this my usb jig is not working. so i copy the zimage into my phone and flash it with stock kernel and again flash the CF kernel from CWM. Now i am left with two bugs which i cant solve.
1. when i insert my usb jig. it shows FACTORY MODE instead of ODIN MODE on top left corner and custom firmware installation is not resetted to zero.
2. Wen i open CWM manager it shows a message ” This ver of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer.It appears you are running adifferent kernel.Some of the features are disabled. Moreover when i flash kernel from CMW it is not rebooted as in your video and i think its still running on stock kernel.
Pls guide me what to do next
1. New ICS bootloader does not support USB Jig.
2. Make sure that you install back CF-Root kernel.
use
[ROM]{CWM}İCS REMİX ROM v8.6 ULTİMATE online XXLPB 4.0.3 resurrection FULL-WİPE
its bettter than given one
its stable ROM gives u better ICS experience
link as fallows..

LPB is also very good, but there is no data/gprs mode, i can only access the internet via wifi, if the developer fixes data mode via gprs/3G then it will be a perfectly stable build
jayce how do i remove the yellow triangle after rooting this version ??
Did you install ICS bootloader?
i have successfully rooted my ICS XXLPB 4.0.3 version in SGS2
i am getting yellow triangle,
can any1 please help me to remove yellow triangle on bootup.
Hi Faizan, did you install ICS bootloader?
no jayce, i didnt installed ICS bootloder,
i need to install ICS bootloder to remove yellow triangle?
No. Use USB Jig to remove it.
Hi Jayce,
I’ve flashed this ROM, but now I want to restore back my Old GB ROM, but when I tried it…I get a bootloop after restoring.
The same happens if I were to flash a totally new GB ROM.
What do you think could the issue be?
Did you wipe data and cache in recovery mode?
I did clear everything.
It took me 2 days but I finally resolved the problem.
Had to flash Siyah kernel. And then got Superwipe to clear off everything.
After that, restored the Sensation Rom.
Got the bootloop again, but I flashed the Siyah kernel one last time and it finally works 🙂
hi jayce,
i want to root my cell and install some rooted version to my s2 after that if i get the full wipe version of andriod 4.0 if i install through that using odin will that yellow triangle issue will go…and will that warranty viod will not be recognised…can i flash the new os after rooting my cell…..
You can use USB Jig to remove yellow triangle if you did not install ICS bootloader.
Yes, warranty will be voided if you install custom firmware.
Yes, you can install new ROM after rooted.
Thank you………:)

What is your SGS2 model ~ I9100 or I9100G?
Hi Jayce, 2-3 months back I run the benchmark, my S2 I9100G CPU was shows 1200MHz correctly. But today I try to run the benchmark test and notice that it dropped till 800MHz, may I know whats going on? I’m using official 2.3.6 ROM I9100GDZKL3 and didn’t root my phone. The benchmark I’m using was Antutu and CF-Bench. Any ideal to fix it??
I heard someone complaint about this issue too after upgraded to latest firmware. Please consult Samsung Support. See what they reply.
Terence,
You will get Max Speed 800MHz if you upgraded to DZKL3, Antutu got update recently, please test again ~! you will get 1200MHz.
You can change back to 800MHz via setCPU or CPU Master as you want. LOL
From,
Herman

can help me? i need firmware I9100 4.0.3 DXLP9
Hi storm, please refer to installation guide. All the info you need is there.
hi jayce, just want to ask something… i was rooting my galaxy S2 but i forgot to tick USB debugging, what shall i do?, now my phone won’t start…
Which root method did you do?
i used odin to root my phone…can i just flash my phone with current ics so that i will start again?
Not sure, ‘used odin to root my phone’ is not detail enough to make me understand what did you install.
i used odin to root the galaxy s2, i downloaded a kernel from a site to root but before i started the procedure i forgot to tick the USB debugging option in the phone settings, rooting has passed but when i turned my phone on i can see the samsung galaxy s II and the caution triangle icon below it signifying that i flashed an insecure kernel, after that the screen is just black and won’t reboot to home menu…
Tick or not tick USB debugging does not matter here. I don’t tick it at all when root with CF-Root.
But install a wrong kernel will cause issue. You still can load Odin Download mode, right? If yes, factory reset in recovery first. Then install new firmware with Odin.
got it…thank you so much…
by the way can u give a link where i can download a kernel to root XXLPB and XXLP9?
Get it from XDA website if you can’t find at my blog.
