Yes but you can flash kernel from Chainfire's thread or use Mobile Odin Pro to keep root while flashing.

Latest @sumsunguk tweet:

" We are working as quickly as possible to bring Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to our Galaxy S II customers. The UK roll out commenced on Monday 19th March and will continue over the coming weeks, however the availability of software upgrades will be subject to each network’s own software approvals process."

So which network has to sign off for the unbranded version? All?

Can anyone help me out? Kind regards.

@intratech

Do you know if we should change the governor in the LPQ/LP7 kernel to run better?

Noticed a post in cm9 thread by codeworx but not sure if that holds true for stock also.
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I'm using the default on demand. What does he suggest?
[Galaxy S II General] aceofclubs:
I can't find his post now but I'm pretty sure he said to make sure it is set to Ondemand in the cm9 settings.

Edit:

I was interested to know if userspace was the default on stock.

Is it safe to re-apply the Vodafone Australia VAUKJ1 firmware?.

[Galaxy S II General] TeamKilo:
Guys just a quick question.

I'm locked on o2 uk, if I was to flash an unlocked ICS rom, will this void my Samsung warranty? How would they know?

If I flash back to stock o2 rom before I return the phone for a repair, will this "restore" my warranty?

Only asking because I've noticed that when I use an app to reduce brightness lower than what the stock setting allows, I see discolouration on the status bar area. I had this problem before and they replaced my screen. Seems to have come back. I could return it before I even do my first flash, but it's not really bothering me much at the moment, but im sure if it gets worse ill have to return it.
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:

Still no unbranded UK ICS as of Wednesday morning.

Gotta love Samsung - blaming the delays on carrier customisation, but then not releasing the UNBRANDED ROM on the day they say, and actually having a Carrier customised ROM released before they release the unbranded one...

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------

Ah..

"Stuff" are adamant that the UK SIM Free/Unbranded version is now available via Samsung KIES...

See:

/news/software-and-os/news-nugget/galaxy-s-ii-gets-ice-cream-sandwich-user-guide

(And stick stuff.tv before that address in order to get it to work, as I'm not sure the most current rules about third party linking here, even though I've been a member since 2004 *lol*)

In any event, if that is true, then how long before we see it in this thread so the rest of us can update to it, if we are Carrier based, but want unbranded UK?
[Galaxy S II General] huskysdg:
Dear Intratech:

I suppose a XW version of the ICS XXLPQ rom is gonna appear soon. Dou you know everything about it? I don't mind if it's a official rom or a Frankestein one, but I do need it.

I can't use XXLPQ with my carrier because it's a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) and I can't remove the R of roaming from the status bar of the phone. I live close to the national border and that's a problem for me not knowing when I'm in real roaming and when I'm not. In Gingerbread I could modify the spn file and the roaming issue dessapeared, but that trick is not valid anymore in ICS. There's no solution at the moment in Google for that.

Thanks and keep doing such an amazing job.
[Galaxy S II General] Shadamehr:
Someone upload the UK Unbranded ICS out today soon please?

*lol*
[Galaxy S II General] mav78g:
Strange I have an unbranded SII and just tried Kies (uk) and no sign of the firmware.....
[Galaxy S II General] Shadamehr:
Not strange...

Just means "Stuff" are wrong, if true...
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
If it was out via kies today, it would be up on samfirmware...... its not. That answers the question.
[Galaxy S II General] Shadamehr:
Yet again, I merely quote "Stuff" (The Gadget Website).

Where they say:

"It's finally happening – we're downloading Ice Cream Sandwich for our SIM-free Galaxy S II (via Kies, it's not OTA..."

If you don't beleive me, go and read their post that I linked to in my original entry (don't forget to add the stuff.tv/ bit at the start though).

So, who's wrong... them, or those posting here..?

Either way, all I know is I can't find any UK Unbranded ROM still today...
[Galaxy S II General] jim-bo:
To quote the whole sentence from the website

So what they are saying is that they are downloading the Three-specific firmware (which I happen to be running here), not a generic one.
[Galaxy S II General] mav78g:
Well i wish i was wrong cos i would have ICS by now via kies.... :) unless Samsung are doing some sort of staging of the update so only so many handsets get it at any one time.... just checked again and its saying

This is the latest firmware PDA:KI4 /PHONE:KI1 /CSC:KH2 (XEU)...

EDIT: It is a bit ambiguous but I think you are right about Stuff downloading the Three rom otherwise does not make sense...
[Galaxy S II General] Shadamehr:
Not so - syntax is wrong for that to be the case...

Moreover, forgive me, but if you have a SIM Free, non-three device, could someone tell me how you update that to a THREE based ROM, whilst using KIES (not ODIN) as they further go on to say that they are doing this using KIES, not ODIN or anything else.

So how does one take a None-carrier S2, and readily use KIES to place a branded carrier ROM on it, rather than use ODIN etc...?

Finally, I discovered the piece by way of a Twitter post - and the Twitter post made it even more apparent that BOTH Three AND UK Unbranded was now available, as it referred to TWO separate ROMs.

So methinks there's something off here, in all of this.

If this IS what "Stuff" meant, then there article was pure pits, being worded as it is. And doesn't cover how the original Tweet referred to "both" now being available (for 'both', you need two of something). And finally, like I said, how does a none-carrier device readily update to a Carrier ROM using KIES and no hacking, if previously, carrier free owners have actually been stuck on 2.3.4 as that is the latest version for none-carrier customised ROM's

?

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

Stuff's Original Tweet this morning doesn't help make the picture any clearer either as it says:

"Get the Galaxy S II ICS update now for SIM free/Three handsets – here's Sammy's helpful user guide..."

To me, when I went to school however, the syntax of the above sentence broken down grammatically, means that there are TWO separate things referenced, UNLESS one thing is referenced but available to BOTH items or objects referred to in the sentence.

So either there are TWO different ROMS - Three, and then SIM FREE...

OR, there is only ONE ROM, BUT it is available equally, to users of BOTH SIM FREE or Three devices.

And as my understanding is that SIM FREE owners cannot readily get a Three ROM on their devices simply using KIES with no hacking, then that again leads me to believe the first option - two separate ROMS, is what they meant...?
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Don't believe all that nonsense. When the official Sim Free ROM comes out you will see it here. There are more than a few people waiting for it.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] jim-bo:
Your logic and your understanding of their statements appear to be irrefutable. I completely agree, that from read the tweet and the article, it would appear that there is such a ROM.

However, nobody but them seems able to find it in Kies, or in CheckFus, or on SamMobile, or here, which would suggest that it is, at the very least, difficult to find.

Given that they have an unbranded SGS2, is it possible that it was purchased somewhere else, such as where the generic XXLPQ ROM released last week covers, and that they just use it in the UK? That would fit the evidence - that their Kies can download it (since their phone is not originally from the UK), but that noone else can find it (since they're actually talking about either the Polish or Nordic generic europe releases

[Galaxy S II General] Montala:
I am getting a bit confused (not difficult!) with all these new releases.

My impression was that as LPQ was not considered to be that stable, we were waiting for a new release based on LP7 to appear, when suddenly LP2 pops up, which presumably precedes LP7... or does it?

Any clarification greatly appreciated! :)

Hi guys

can someone please confirm this is right. I want to update my girlfriends phone to ics so I have downloaded lp7 from page one. Firstly this is ok for the the unbranded phones right?

secondly ive extracted the file and it says .tat.md5 on the end. is this what I use in odin? ive done this in the past but ive not seen the .md5 on the end before. its says file type md5 too not tar. soryy to ask I just want to be sure before flashing.

thanks
