i messed up the phone quite a bit and i think it went into soft brick? (the phone - yellow triangle - PC) icon.

but i just went ahead to flash the stock samsung ROM with ODIN.(I9100GDZKL3_I9100GDZKL3_I9100GOLCKL3_HOME.tar.md5)

it went through successfully.
then i plug my phone to KIES, and let it auto update to ICS.
now it is on:
4.0.3i
DXLP6
kernel version : 3.0.8 dpi@DELL 150 #2 SMP PREEMPT

somehow i think this ICS is not much better than my previous GB. the browser looks faster though, but i am a dolphin supporter smile.gif

now my quick question is how can i get it root? follow the PDF guide?
coz i have bunch of backup in titanum which i need to restore.

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

oh.. yaya.. current trebuchet pretty sleek also smile.gif i was using go launcher for 3-4 months when i am on 2.3.6. i think its pretty cool and quite lots of theme.
what is your say on other launcher like nova, tw, launcher pro.. ?

by the way, i have a very important thing that i need to restore, which is my backup i did with titanum in 2.3.6
now, i installed back titanum in CM9, but when i restore, i got nothing! my heart drop for a while ..... any idea?

have you guys also do the V6 supercharge thingy? it really helps making the flow much more smooth smile.gif

but i am only half way done, 50% and i noticed there was a message saying the ICS launcher (in this case the trubuchet launcher is weak) as it has lower priority then the app or something...

k, anyway... any hint for me to get back my contact which i backedUp with titanum during in 2.3.6?

cm9 is custom ROM, your device needs to be rooted in order to flash CM9. correct me if i am wrong.
