In short, yes you can, only if the kernel was compiled using ICS 4.0.3 source. This can be checked by a mention either in the topic or in the first post of the kernel's thread.

As the source was released just day before yesterday, the kernel authors are recompiling their kernels after making all the changes in the new ICS 4.0.3 codebase. As the new code base is different, I was expecting it to take some time for migrating the kernel patches here, but it seems some kernels have already been updated thanks to the genius of the community, others coming up :)

Siyah is probably not out yet, and the old kernel will most probably not run if you try. Wait till it gets updated... you can follow the Siyah thread - and hammer away your F5 ;-)

Edit: Just as I responded, I found this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1555259 - seems Siyah has already been ported, and is working for a lot of people. Personally I am eagerly waiting for SpeedMod kernel :-)
[Galaxy S II General] nvcn00:
hmm thanks. I guess I did some stupid things. luckily after restarting it about the 20th time i was able to factory reset and then able to boot up normally.

I am facing two issues though.

One, during calls i can't hear the other person/they can't hear me

Two, the back key and the search key don't do anything.

I know there are galaxy s2's with less buttons then mine

mine are:

settings - home - back - search

I'm wondering if my phone isn't even compatible
[Galaxy S II General] Erlanderterv:
Is your phone a GT I9100?

That is what this firmware is for.
[Galaxy S II General] nvcn00:
It is yeah, im just confused as to why I am having the other issues
[Galaxy S II General] Cenobite_:
Mirror?

The hotfile with the LP7 stock kernel is down. Does anyone has a mirror?

TIA
[Galaxy S II General] Erlanderterv:
I just downloaded it. I searched this thread and found an alternative.

Doh!! Should have thought of that! It's still early here :)

[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
According to sgs2Update on Twitter Three have just released their ics update for the s2 in the UK and Ireland. Its LPQ ?!!!

06:25 GMT *NEW FW* UK/H3G (I9100/LKAH3G) I9100XXLPQ/I9100H3GLP2/I9100NELP2/I9100XXLPQ
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
This baffles me really, It happened with 2.3.4 the operators get it out before the unbranded.
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
Ouch. LPQ!

Suppose us Brits can use the modem though :-)
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
No, step 6 wont be needed, but sometimes double wiping helps :) If i were you, i would do step 5 or 6 again, AFTER flashing ICS. You already deleted everything, so just let it do it again :)
[Galaxy S II General] GenVidTh:
Thanks, I just updated my phone to ICS via Kies without unrooting and without wipe my whole stuff...

So now im running ICS with my whole apps still installed. I hope this wont make any problems :)

my question is, how to root the ICS?

Can someone give a step-by-step for noob like me? :)

Thanks before.

-EDIT-

Never mind my question, i've found the step-by-step solution :)
[Galaxy S II General] amnya:
Without any complications? No, nobody can tell you this. 1. you need to learn how to flash using Odin, and many stuff can go wrong if you do not follow instructions or go ticking some checkboxes without being asked to do so. And 2. Do this on your own risk. 3. The current ICS has many bugs and i would not recommend it for my own enemy! Many stuff are broken and its disappointing, i would suggest you wait.

Rule number one in CyanogenMods, never ask for ETA!

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

Haha, well, its just advisable to have it enabled, but to think of it, when you flash using odin, the phone will be in download mode and the OS is not even loaded, so the "developer options" are not even taking any effect. This tickbox should be ticked if you want to use for example adb commands or superoneclick. where the operation is done while the phone is in the OS. So do not worry that you skipped that step :)

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 AM ----------

Actually i disagree, if you do this, you will never flash a ROM in your life, most of the times its bad users who do not follow instructions are those who have problems and report them.

But for this particular rom, yes i agree it has many problems, if i had known, i would have not flashed :)

My exchange syncing just wont sync all of a sudden. Any ideas on what could cause this? No settings have changed on the phone or on the server side?
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
Correct! They have released it but we are waiting for the Simfree firmware from Samsung directly.
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
Will the SIM free not be the same as the ROMS floating around here? People always say sim free get it first, this hasn't been the case with the SGS2, If I remember with 2.3.4 we had quite a wait before it hit Kies
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
My guess would be that the Sim Free will be LPQ Too
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
We know that Vodafone will not get this LPQ ROM as its = XXLPQ and as we know Vodafone's firmwares = BUxx

So still there is hope! LOL :D
[Galaxy S II General] Sizuke:
Morning campers!

Any signs of UK sim free on Kies yet anyone?
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:

big problem with keyboard + small wifi problem

dear all,

I did a search but didnt find help on two problem I have so I'll post them here:

I can't type any characters other than latin characters with the build-in "samsung keyboard". see the attachments, even if i see the non-latin characters on the keyboard .e.g korean, when I type all I get are the latin ones. with some layout i dont even see the foreign characters e.g. russian. does anybody know why or how to fix it?

also my wifi gets stuck while being turned on, be it manually or by juice defender.

my data:

ICS 4.0.3

I9100XXLPQ

THANK YOU!
[Galaxy S II General] elquango:
another problem ive encountered.

widgets stop working from time to time.

when im listening to music though headphones and then scroll through my home screens it creates a distorted electronic sound
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
How did you flash your Rom? Kies or Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
The three UK S2 ROM is now live on Kies. Backing up and gonna flash.

Whats all this about needing a wipe? Id rather not lose all my saved passwords, settings and stuff. Might just chance it as an upgrade and see what happens. I guess if anything goes bad I can nuke it back to factory right?
[Galaxy S II General] kersh1:
Media Scanner Running....Not!

I'm having some Camera & Gallery issues, they both briefly display 'media scanner running' then crash out. I read an earlier post of the same problem, but their fix was remove & replace SD card. I've disabled media scanner at boot with root, and now the camera works, but Gallery just hangs for ages.

Anyone else having this issue, or any solutions??
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
I think that if you go to Developer Options and check that force GPU rendering is unticked, this fixes gallery.
[Galaxy S II General] elquango:
i flashed it with odin

everything loads up so slow. and im also getting camera issues as well now.

gonna try installing again tonight, if it doesnt work then im gonna downgrade
[Galaxy S II General] lettuceman:
I flashed the new ICS to my phone as instructed, but my phone won't start.

it turns on, but it's stuck on the "S" screen with no continuation.

Can anyone give me a hand with this please?
[Galaxy S II General] funem:
Personally I think there needs to be two threads here, one for people who downloaded and flashed the firmware themselves and one for those who updated over the air or via kies.

It’s getting hard to tell which problems are related to which version of the update and who did what to their phone. The firmware may be "official" but people flashing it themselves can cause issues that people who update via kies may never experience.

This thread is convoluted as it is.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
+1. Would be so much easier.
[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
I don't think ICS will be available OTA? I read something in a powerpoint presentation that said it wouldn't or couldn't be done OTA and that it must be done via Kies. Sure enough Kies says there is an update, but when I try and do it through the phone menu it says there are no updates.
[Galaxy S II General] @home:
Do we have an offical UK retail ICS update through Kies yet?
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
+1 as well haha, very true
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
NOPE......:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
It wont be updated OTA - and also, do you mean. This presentation given out by samsung - http://dash.coolsmartphone.com/wp-c...100-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-Guide-Ver-2.0.pptx.pdf
[Galaxy S II General] xstarbuckx:
seems like people on 3 in the UK are starting to get ics via kies still no go for unbranded
[Galaxy S II General] @home:
Le Bummer :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
I guess the firmware must be in multiple parts? Because when I started downloading it was going at 4MB/s and as soon as it hit 45% it stalled and has been creeping at 80/100KB/s as though it's on a different server or something.
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Are you downloading via torrent or mirror?
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Guess ill be getting the SgS3 on a branded contract. Clearly Samsung prefers to launch carrier handsets first. Not happy Samsung.:mad:
[Galaxy S II General] rmaiod:
Same here in Spain, no ICS for unbranded ( i have a FOP) also no ICS for Vodafone, Orange or Movistar. :(
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Probably cause the whole of the UK has started to download it...
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
With HTC it's the opposite :P

Telstra took 6 months longer to release GB xD

SGS3 on a Branded Contract for me too :P
[Galaxy S II General] Shiroken84:
I'm downloading directly though kies
[Galaxy S II General] cc999:
Are you d/ling the UK unbranded?

CC
[Galaxy S II General] ZonyX:
I believe its the ThreeUK that are the only roll out so far
[Galaxy S II General] Ex()rcizm:
Indeed you are correct sir.
[Galaxy S II General] slugger09:
Rumours of Vodafone UK releasing today also.
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
Probably... and you know why? Cause Samsung has got one guy with one handset testing all the roms and then uploading to Kies using 56kb line.:D
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
Rather than wait for my official T-Mobile UK or UK Unbranded version, I simply went to page 1 on this thread....
[Galaxy S II General] fyew-jit-tiv:
But most of use waiting for the unbranded dont what to use ODIN. personally i'd rather use Kies for THIS rom cause of the problems reported.
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
It'll be interesting to see if the UK carriers noticed the duplicate sms sending bug when they had the update for 'testing'. That's if they are all going to push out the same LPQ build. They'll have a crap load of complaints if the bug its still there
[Galaxy S II General] Sizuke:
FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

Why sim free don't get it first when doesn't require feedback or modding from a operator?! You would though Samsung would push those first, is their pissing mobile!!

Mind you, i can see it already,

1- install ICS via Kies

2- Mess about for a couple days

3- Mehh this is lame samsung mod of ICS

4- Roots and installs Cyanogenmod or some other pure ICS rom!

So much for all the fuss!

If i hope anyone to benefit from these official roms is the Dev of all those sweet Mods out there to make them nice and bug from for us to use :D haha
[Galaxy S II General] santhoshar:

[Galaxy S II General] shaq1907:

Can someone pls tell me whether the XEN CSC is included in the CSC's?
[Galaxy S II General] Wagyman:
Works fine with polish version...

I've updated from I9100XXLPB to [...]LPQ and it work's quite well!

But I had to update 2 times! After the first try, the start screen flashed all the time and it was trapped in a restart loop. But with holding down volume down, power and home buttons the download mode was available again!

Then I flashed it again and everything works fine! :-)

First, all installed apps will be optimized for the new firmware. After this process all settings will stay the same. Even homescreen, widgets and your language will last.

I'm using german language but you can also select the most common european languages as well.

The fu***ing update sign at the upper left corner of the screen ist still not removable! :-(

Some apps that crashed before the update will even crash with the new firmware (TV Spielfilm). But the nice new Chrome browser for Android seems to work fine!

Nice work Samsung!

"Upgrade" is probably what's giving you the Gallery problem unless it's to do with the GPU Rendering feature

In regards to the sensitivity issue:

Using Touchmove I can see that the actual sensitivity is okay, BUT there's something wrong when it first registers a response. The spot that your finger touches registers a response but small movements will not. However, once your finger has left that initial spot and gone a certain distance, it well start moving normally. If you keep your finger on the screen you can see that even if you move small distances now the phone will register your movements normally. It's just that single initial spot that's problematic. Anyone know the issue?
