GS2 ICS - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello All,
im running a 2.3.6 rom , but i would like to run an ics rom. my question is, do i have to go back to stock and update or can i just flash the ics rom? any help would be great, thanks.

you can flash an ICS ROM. Just make sure you first flash a compatible modem, and do a complete wipe using darkside wipe and darkside cache wipe. Dont restore data either.

The keypad is really laggy for me. I've tried the Samsung one, Go, and Swift key. It is just horrible. Is there a way this can be fixed on ICS? Should I try an ICS custom ROM?

Do I took from ICS with the following procedure?

If you want to do it in CWM or TWRP recovery:
1. Do a full wipe. (Darkside full wipe is the easiest otherwise, do a factory reset)
2. Install GB compatible radio from Mr. X's radio thread. (Even though, the new TLLE4 telus radio for example, will still work.)
3. Install Juggernaut 5.0
4. Reboot and wait.
flash superwipe then the rom.

N00b question.

Hi, this is a n00b question..... To update a rom do I have to reset everything again? Cause I currently have cm 7.2 by phiexz and to update the rom I don't want to do a reset.... I already have the rom I only need the new things.

If you are going to install newer phiexz rom you don't need to wipe.
But if you install another rom (cm9 or cm7 not from phiexz) you need wipe.
Yes a newer version from phiexz. So I need only to flash the zip and everything is done? No need to wipe anything?

Yes, no wipe needed when just upgrading. You can actually upgrade from cm7 to cm9 without wipe

HOW TO flash from JB AOKP to any ICS Rom

Currently on JB AOKP and want to try out Universe Rom. Do I just flash EL26 CWM kernel, boot to recovery, wipe all, then flash rom?
I'm pretty sure, but, ya know... Thanks!

Wanna revert to ics...

Hey guys, im rooted on stock jb for tmobile with stock recovery. I wanna get custom recovery and flash back to ics and use a custom rom like wicked v7.
To do this do I just download goo manager, install its recovery, wipe then flash? Or do I have to change the firmware etc?
Sorry, I usually search for my solutions but im read mixed stuff on reverting and I really dont wanna brick this thing. I even kinda forgot how to do all this since I havent touched my old sensation in months.
Thanks guys.

Yup.
If you're rooted, 1. download goo manager 2. install openrecovery script 3. flash ROM of choice. You may need to wipe cache and data if you get a bunch of FC's since you're going back to ICS from JB. Don't forget to do a nandroid (step 2.5).
Already on Frosty ics, but thanks guyss

What I would first do is Odin the ics so you have all drivers installed properly then root and flash rom of choice
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I agree with Crisisx1. I know you said you're already running Frosty (I'm a Wicked guy myself) but if you notice any anomalous behavior, I'd definitely Odin to stock ICS and then go through the proper flashing process. This will ensure all of your partitions/drivers are properly set up. GL man.
So far so good, if any weird things happen ill deff odin back, thanks again guys.

Flashing Rom question

I am currently on aopk right now and I am planning on flashing something else. The question is.. Do I have to put my phone back to stock to flash a new rom? What's the easiest way to flash a new rom while currently running a custom Rom?

Compete a full wipe and install the same way you did your current custom ROM. No need to return to stock.

Unless your going from an AOSP or AOKP or CM10 rom to a stock based rom such as Ultimatum that are on different versions of JB (4.2 to 4.1.1). You would most likely soft brick if you did not go back to stock first.
Other than that it is not necessary.

Actually it won't, you just have to do a factory reset to wipe data, then flash away. No need to flash back to stock.
