If anyone still needs help, this is what I did to flash my SGS2

Open Odin and put

APBOOT to Bootloader

CODE (largest file) to PDA

MODEM to Phone

An i9100dx CSC to CSC

Managed to get my apns, and mobile data seemed to work (arrows on the status bar flashing)

Do you think that we can grab the #sgs2aospics launcher and install on this leak?
[Galaxy S II General] jastonas:
Why do I see so many different ways to flash?

a)

APBOOT > BOOTLOADER

CODE > PDA

KERNEL > PHONE

MODEM > CSC

B)

APBOOT> Not needed since it's a bootloader

CODE > CSC

KERNEL > PDA

MODEM > PHONE

I don't know, but seconds sound better...
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
what do you mean by "A i9100dx CSC" because i see 4 files and there is no csc... sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S II General] marcelotorres:
Did you flashed using the second way? It works normally?
[Galaxy S II General] drjawad:
thanks for reply. any special instructions in mobile odin? and is mobile odin compatible with ics to flash kernal
[Galaxy S II General] mkalter:
awesome, thanks man, now i can try to port it to the galaxy s1
[Galaxy S II General] tylerdurden83:
Does AOS still shows up under the battery usage stats?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
oops clicked thanks , instead of quote! enjoy

Unless you inject SU in ICS, you cant install mobile odin in ICS and therefore cant flash a kernel from ICS as of now
[Galaxy S II General] jastonas:

Is there anyway to remove the Yellow Exclamation mark, I've tried using a Jig but that hasn't done the job?
[Galaxy S II General] woeds:
is mobile data working?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
People having problems, just flash the rom twice eventhough it doesnt makes sense, when i had i9003 and got a leak for 2.3.3 most of the things were not working, not only for me but for many. Double flashed the firmware and everything started working. Its worthy to give it a try.
[Galaxy S II General] :
New bootloader doesn't allow a jig to reset the counter.
[Galaxy S II General] jastonas:
Then I guess it would be wise not to flash the bootloader :)
[Galaxy S II General] madmack:
you can always downgrade the bootloader though?
[Galaxy S II General] steslatt:
Not for most people if any.
[Galaxy S II General] ryanswj:
It's just the CSC file from the I9100DXKF1 release I downloaded previously, because that firmware is for my region. The filename is

GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OLBKE5.tar.md5.

You can call it 'mixing and matching', haha.

Note: data seemed to work but I didn't test it. I'm not even sure whether the arrows flashing at the top right corner mean anything!
[Galaxy S II General] kickassdave:
Whoever posted a while back regarding the thread getting flooded with silly comments/questions you were soooooo damn right....

I totally understand why people, even the inexperienced folk, would want to flash this.... but you really need to know what you are doing before you start meddling with leaks like this one. I'd do a cwm backup, copy the backup and all needed SD contents to your PC, then in cwm, wipe /system /cache /data /dbdata go back and do wipe SD card and factory reset. THEN install using Odin and download mode as per the numerous instructions posted already.

I'd then try superOneClick as SU is important to me and if APN is blank, get the settings from your network provider (a quick call is all that's needed).

I'd be surprised if you have any issues after that other than the actual known bugs....

I would not be shocked if the people reporting weird problems that others aren't haven't flashed this properly....

Regarding the red box when the screen transitions, there is a developer setting you simply need to turn off to sort that lol. I'll let you find it for yourselves.

I'll be flashing this later! Enjoy!

:-)
[Galaxy S II General] neuron2:
how do i downgrade the bootloader?
[Galaxy S II General] TheFluffyOne:
For those who mention the "red flashing", it's a debug function used to identify performance issues in running code. Specifically I believe it indicates that the main thread is blocked, which is one reason an app's UI will appear sluggish or jerky.
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
if i put :

APBOOT to Bootloader

CODE (largest file) to PDA

MODEM to Phone

An i9100dx CSC to CSC ( GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OLBKE5.tar.md5.) is that work ????
[Galaxy S II General] neuron2:
how do i downgrade the bootloader?

Because i returned previus version but randomly boot then no starts my phone
[Galaxy S II General] buzzboy:
I can't believe people are attempting this without knowing the Odin process. I can see samsungs warranty helpline being busy tomorrow.

[Galaxy S II General] Rumble6059:
i couldn't agree more with you on this, people shouldn't flash when the dont know how to recover even a bootloop, let alone a full brick! anyway rant over, now for some help [reluctantly, but i'm in a good mood today]

1. download old GB bootloader - flash this as PDA

2. flash stock firmware

3. flash a cfroot kernel [same as the stock firmware]

you may still get boot loop, ignore

4. boot into recovery [volume up, menu and power]

5. restore your nandroid backup [assuming you made one]

Hope this helps, Rumble

i just a post that avoid not to flash with the new bootloader . how to avoid it and how will it help me ? plz do reply fast as the internet connection here is getting disconnected now and then :(
[Galaxy S II General] Chad_Petree:
Ill ask for the 12th time ;) , does it have banding?? , the music player would be the easiest ay to try it out, the background looks disgusting on gingerbread :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
As long as you have nandroid backup or some other gingerbread bootloader, there is no problem in using the new loaded that comes with ics. You can always flash it via Odin anytime. Later
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
hey bro thnx for the reply i want to try this out . but i dont have gb boatloader i do have KI3 firmware downloaded
[Galaxy S II General] stuclark:

to flash ics i need to

Open Odin and put

APBOOT to Bootloader

MODEM to Phone

An i9100dx CSC to CSC

but where is kernal here??

and if i want to revert back to gb what i need to do ?
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
Apparently this is not a build for you, maybe just too "advanced" - try and wait for CM9 to come out then you can install this stuff the easy way. If you don't know how to use ODIN by now then read up on the TONS of tutorials already out there for Gingerbread ROMs or just wait and be patient for something you can handle. It's ok, nobody is gonna think less of you if you can't handle it. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
If you don't know what your doing then don't do it!

Otherwise read back a few pages or the other thread methods have been explained already!
[Galaxy S II General] :
i have to agree here...do not waste your time trying to flash it as really it is not worth it...you are going to play around with it for what, say half an hour...then you are going to have to go through all the trouble to revert back to your backup rom..save yourself the hassle and wait for a stable leak

[Galaxy S II General] furrypotato:
For all those struggling to use odin to flash this, just hang on. You think some dev won't repackage this as a CWM flashable build within a day or so ?

Hopefully with some fixes too as it's a pretty crappy build. The Teamhacksung alpha was much better apart from camera and call volume ( And much smoother/faster too)
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Take out the csc. Just flash using pda (code) and modem. Not sure what files you actually have loaded in the pic as the file names aren't visible.

Don't use bootloader file because you can't reset counter. Flashing the old one fixes that just in case.

Kernal is also in the firmware already I think so no need to flash it.

Personally, flashed just to see but back on checkrom for me.

[Galaxy S II General] meranto:
Too cheap. If you release a alpha-like-beta you should not complain about crying and flaming noobs. As a serious dev, you know this will happen, especially when it's something so big it will be all over the major tech sites.

First major android update in a long time coming to the most popular android phone of this year for the first time out in the public.... go figure.

Keep it to the top devs and yourself if you don't want any **** about it, this is no leak for the masses, which was known before leaking it.
[Galaxy S II General] Jeshter2000:
Ive talked to the Big Boss of SamMobile but it is out of respect to our insider . Thats why kernel info is not released. There is a special peace of name that could give him away if we release to soon. That means that we loose our insider and you will loose the leaks. So please understand .. If our insider says next week than next week will it be...

Please respect this...

Well I flashed KP1 again and set about restoring my settings & apps from KL1 - here's the highlights:

Titanium Backup restored all non system apps fine

Touchwiz launcher settings can't be restored, they cause FC (this isn't surprising and has been the case across most version changes)

SMS and Contact names not linking correctly - even though a contact exists in phone with valid number, the SMS displays the number, not the contact name

Camera got quicker the more I used it

Calendar FC on launch

Gallery same as 2.3.6

Music worked in all music players (Google, Samsung & dbPowerAmp)

Browser very quick (can we back-port this to GB?)

Couldn't get any data throughput, despite having E / G / 3G / H shown and APN setup correctly

Wifi worked fine
