guys i havent flashed yet. will be doing tonight. but have been following and reading the threads abt this. a lot of ppl experince different problems from the update.. from what ive read..ill just share with you guys.

its highly recommended to do a FULL WIPE before flashing ICS.boot into recovery Wipe Cache, Clear Dalvik. After you have flashed LP7, wipe cache,dalvik and factory reset again..then flash CM9 restoring apps with TB might cause some issues with some apps.


Badkidz,

as i know only LP7 kernel is available
DXLP6

guys, now that the ics is out for i9100g... i'd like to flash my phone with the custom cm9 ics rom (if i coined it right). i'm a little bit confused with the info available here and there. my phone right now is still stock with 2.3.6... haven't done any rooting or watsoever with it yet...

so do i update it to stock ics with kies first then root then flash custom rom or i root first? pardon me, too much info i also confused which to follow...
*
flash stock ICS DXLP6 rom using odin first.

then root the phone using LP7 Kernel.

then flash CM9.

flashing the lp7 kernel, will it increase the binary?

if using creezalird method = no flash counter increased

Rooting for ICS (i9100G), of course update to ICS using odin first.

Method 3 : 1 + 2, no yellowtriangle or binary count increasement

1. Do method 2 first.
2. Download LP7 codeworkx, extract and put the zimage inside root sdcard
3. Install ktool, flash the zimage.
4. Result : rooted + CWM , no usb jig involved, ^___^

If i wanted the LA1 firmware, meaning i just download the firmware and flash it using odin? Will my phone be unroot and will my data be wiped out

I've read through many forums and messages and I just want to make sure:

It is not possible to root i9100G 2.3.6 (2.6..35.7 kernel) using doomlords method, because the exploit used there has been fixed in that Android version, right? Could you please confirm this?

Therefore, I have the option of flashing a rooted kernel. I read this is a bit more dangerous. Also, in "Full Guide for i9100G.pdf" it says "Binary counter can only be reset with USB jig and only from old bootloader (KJ2 and lower)". Could you explain to me the yellow riangle and the binary counter, how to avoid and what "old bootloader KJ2 and lower" means.  Sorry, I don't have DZKI1 and so on (I9100GXXKL4 and Gingerbread.XXLB1).

Thank you.

well we are all now using LP7u kernel as ICS firmware was just released. if you still want to stay on GB, you can root using ODIN, with the many kernels available for GB, lucifer,streetware,superRom etc. if i remember correctly, flashing with mobile odin pro doesnt increase the counter, but do research more on that. i have a usb jig, so i normally use odin on desktop

well are you facing any probs? if you dont face any weird issues its ok.

QUOTE(leng2 @ Jun 2 2012, 02:50 PM)
i've tried rooting using doomlord's method, does not work. in the end, i've flashed modded kernel using odin, yes, now my binary count has increased.

i think the best to avoid binary increase is to reflash ur current stock ics to gb and root using doomlord and put in the cwm as described in the pdf. i haven't tried this yet... but as long as you have the cwm inside, u're good to flash custom ics dy.

or if you're not too concerned with the binary (until the day u nid to send ur phone for warranty), u can just flash the modded kernel with cwm and then flash the custom ics. let me know if you needed the steps i've used.

thanks to wira_lover for the steps previously smile.gif

hi leng, my honest advice is:

if you are on gingerbread 2.3.6 now, and have already increased binary counter, get it reset using a usb jig, flash stock ICS, and follow the steps posted earlier. guaranteed to not have that counter increased. USB jig for now doesnt work on the ICS bootloader for the time being, hopefully its possible soon.

for best results, try flashing stock ICS then LP7 , then CM9.

I tried to flash the kernel using Odin and superatmos. superatmos 3.3 works only with the zImage/sd-card way, which itself needs root as a prerequisite. So I tried 3.2, but no matter what I do Odin connects (yellow COM) but fails saying "can't open serial (COM) port...".

I used Kies before. I killed all Kies related processes. I started Odin as Administrator.

Using i9100g android 2.3.6, I9100GXXKL4, 2.6.35.7 kernel, Gingerbread.XXLB1.

Any idea?

sounds like a driver issue..try re-install the drivers or try another usb port see if its ok.

My ICS is rooted now. Thought of flashing CM9, then I read so many issues. Guess I hafta wait longer.
*
a lot of those facing problem mostly i think due to either not performing a data wipe, or missing a step. cause seriously a lot of us who are not facing much probs ( other than the highlighted in FAQ) , now its already under nightly build which means it is pretty stable.

from the time the experimental was released i have been on it. and i cant imagine not having it. batt life is great. the available settings,themes, etc is great.

in the even you do decide to get cm9. please:

1.Full Wipe/factory setting
2.Wipe cache/clear dalvik
3.Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your internal SDCard
4.Boot into Recovery
5.Flash CM9 zip from internal SDCard
6.Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard
7.DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
8.Reboot

try to avoid using batch TB install. make sure only restore APPS and not system stuff. if possible avoid restore completely. some ppl face issues restoring certain apps some dont. so its up to you if you wanna try. i personally didnt. i started from scratch.

Happily with CyanogenMod 9 - 20120604 Nightly build. biggrin.gif

Everything working perfectly smooth and stable for me. biggrin.gif I didn't face some user report issue at XDA thread or Facebook Group. My vibration is working, backlight can configure properly few second auto off. (I didn't try completely turn it off where user report it will off that two button function as well in latest build). This latest nightly build is 2x smoother compare with stock ICS for me, and extreme stable for daily use.

biggrin.gif Happy with my S2 G now. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

CM9 in xda thread says that different people have different issues with this ROM. Quite strange. The developer also cannot figure it out.
*
sometimes i feel its error in installation. miss a step. or didnt do a clean wipe or clean installation. i flashed a few times and face no issue.

you see even eightphantomz had some funny issue but a fresh clean install solved it. so good luck thumbup.gif

andrew, so i just follow the guide here huh, from your siggy - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583091
just want to make sure i don't screw up my phone smile.gif

please be careful and read through properly. dont skip or miss a step.

just to confirm. first flash ICS firmware, using odin or KIES.

once you are running ICS,

Follow this thread [TUTORIAL] Root Access For ICS 4.0.3

Once you are rooted and have CWM follow this guide [ROM][GT-I9100G][4.0.4] CyanogenMod 9 official nightly builds!

read through those 2 threads if unsure. all questions have been asked before. thumbup.gif
