Wipe now and then reboot into download mode under advanced and then flash LPQ. I hope your phone is rooted and you have CWM installed. Do make a nandroid backup just in case.

Edit: If you stuck in bootloop after flashing LPQ then boot into recovery by first pulling out your battery and then using the 3 button combo. Hit factory reset and wipe cache. Then reboot.

Yes both the wipes. And then power it off and reboot into download mode using the 3 button combo.

[Galaxy S II General] KOkan3:
Now here's a part I don't understand.... why in the world should he flsh ICS first and then JB? AFAIK installing GB for safe wiping was a metod to avoid the emmc brickbug before flashing another ROM (instead of flashing a secure kernel).

So why can't he just simply wipe then flash JB? I'm confused right now...

Ok I have done it, i've read everything but I have some doubts. It would be great if you or someone else can help me :o

I want to root my LSD via Odin. Are this steps correct?

(This first steps where taken from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877270)

- Download the tar.md5 file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/22ha4y...X-4.35.tar.md5

- boot into download mode

- start odin3 and put the tar.md5 in the PDA part.

- connect phone in download mode to PC via USB

- press start to flash the tar.md5 package

This will flash my recovery right? but is not yet rooted right?

Then I have to root the phone following Method 1 in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746794

- So first I have to download this file: Root_SuperSU.0.96-Busybox.1.20.2-S2-signed.zip to install superSU + busybox v1.20.2 from Linus Yang.

- Copy the ZIP files in the internal SDcard (i dont have external SD card)

- Enter in recovery mode and select the "chose ZIP file from internal SDcard"

- Select the ZIP file I copied in 2nd step

- And...done!!! finally rooted S2 LSD JB.

Is this ok? or I will brake my phone? :laugh:

Thanks in advance for you help

You can Factory reset by rebooting in recovery mode, it just takes a a couple of seconds.

Root will let you control your device as you like, install apps that need to perform things right under the android shield.

There's plenty you can do with root, even kill everyone's wifi connection at starbucks with wifi kill ;)

[Galaxy S II General] moocou:
Re: ***[OFFICIAL] JellyBean 4.1 Discussion thread [XWLSD]***

bubb_rubb, go straight to JB. Flash LSD (I'm on LS8 but I think you might as well get the latest) using Odin. Kill Kies first. Then wipe from within phone settings. Then, to root, just flash PhilZ latest (4.35 I think).

Get an sd card. I've only got a 4GB one but it will probably make certain things easier.

But it's that easy. I went from 2.3.4 to 4.1.2 (LS8) in one step. Wiped from within the phone settings. Then root by flashing PhilZ. Easy.
[Galaxy S II General] bubb_rubb:
Someone mentioned earlier that I should probably wipe while on Gingerbread then flash JB and before booting I should factory reset and wipe cache. What do you think. I've heard that JB handles the filesystem differently or repartitions the sd card in some way. Did you flash PhilZ on stock recovery or CWM?

Yes, philz will get you rooted.

He meant you can always factory reset after you flash.

Mobile Odin can wipe data, cache and dalvik.

It can also root the ROM while it's flashing it, so you'll always have root (the pro feature is called "EverRoot").

In JB you can flash cutom kernels as well with M.O.

No you won't lose root.

Mobile odin does a lot of things:

Checks your device (Model).

Checks the ROM/Kernel you want to flash.

Checks your battery before flash (50% + to flash).

Wipes data (optional)

Roots (optional)

Injects SU app (optional)

Injects MO app (optional)

Flashes (5 minutes tops)

No, you can flash CMW when in JB rebooting in recovery mode by flashing cmw zip file.

They gave to find out why it happens so...maybe in march.

There are plenty of fixs & workarounds.

Did a quick search on the forum since I'm not really familiar with all this yet. Are you referring to the "GS2ROMNuke" script? Will it still work since I am not using a ROM? (According to the instructions I should run it from the CWM Recovery).
[Galaxy S II General] rozel:
I was in exactly the same boat as you. Basically I could not wait for the 4.0.4 ICS update - up to then I was on CPW (UK of course, like yourself) firmware so I downloaded Checkfus and then downloaded the Nordic 4.0.4 ICS firmware. Since doing that I haven't been able to update via Kies, but who cares? In all the time I have had my phone (18 months), I have never wiped my phone and have never had a problem.

Last night I couldn't be bothered waiting anymore for the CPW UK JB update so again flashed the Nordic one (4.1.2) and it went as smooth as butter - sorry for the pun.

Again, as with ICS from GB, JB isn't a mind-blowing experience but it is smooth and a little quicker between the screens. I probably will flash the CPW firmware once it comes through - we will see.

Hope my experience helps anyone from the UK who may be dithering right now :)

But I have one question. It doesn't seem that some of my apps see the external sd card now that I have updated. Can someone please explain why this is the case?
