I got my 4.0 aftet doing this.
First delete the threads like when will we get ics if you started a thread
Second do a factory reset.
Third pull out the battery.
4th put the phone and battery in the desk drawer.
5th dont touch the phone for 3months from now on
6th then u can put the battery back in and you should receive an ota or check xda. If you didnt get it repeat the process.
its important not to use the phone in that period of time because the phone knows if u created a thread or not. If you did created the thread and dont follow this procedure the phone will go back to cupcake(1.6) and lock him self up with some hardcore bootloader that u can never root it. And the phone will overvolt your phonw by 4times and underclock the phone to 400mhz and use only single core.
And cut the ram and memory by 1/4. So careful if you dont want to end up with 400mhz overvolted 256 mb ram 4gb phone. Oh and one more thing. It will only do 2g and no wifi.
Ics update or ****ty phone. Your choice

That's smart looking at your signature. All this took was 1 answer to the OP.
Nobody knows but we're all hopeful. Rumor has it that dev slayher is working on CM9 for us.
In the meantime there are a few nice gingerbread ROMS for us to use in the development section. I'm using Juggernaut and am loving it.

Good call. Besides removing bloat ware there is really no reason for this phone. None of the custom roms offer much of anything over stock.

Wrong. What about free wifi tethering? I think you can root but do not need to run a custom rom, just run the stock rom.

looks good, getting it to just boot is nice. hopefully someone else can take it the rest of the way so we can get this on our phones asap.

How do I do that? I have a rooted, stock ROM, with bloatware removed and is CIQ free, but I do not know if it has free Wi-Fi tethering.
Here is the link to the ROM: Click

Simple, install titanium manager ( id recommend pro) and either freeze (pro only) or delete tether manager or whatever the programs called that's makes you sign up for hotspot

ICS releasing in canada

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/30/samsung-canada-ics-touchwiz-rollout/
I just saw this and thought if they would release it for thier t989(named differently there) and i think i was right. It says GS2 X. i hope somebody releases the code or something as it should be more stable than our version.

This is awesome, I'm going to do a factory restore to stock Telus and get the kernel loaded... waiting for ICS!!! WOOOO!

Update: We’ve heard back from Samsung and it looks like the rollout will start later this week: “The ICS update will be available this week and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter.”
I guess you have to wait, or you might be in luck and get it.

These people just keep making these stupid threads. Can we not comprehend/understand that there is already a thread for ICS talk?

So we can use the Canada ICS on our devices?

That thread was created for all ICS talk and speculation. And the rogers official isn't even out yet.

Telus is the only Canadian carrier to carry the S2 X.

Nice I wonder if their pics build is better than at&T's I'm guessing it is with less bloat

I've done it for a few years (23 on & off fwiw). It's not a fun task balancing what the users want vs what's actually good for the community vs what generates revenue.
Honestly though, it's mostly busywork taking care of reported threads. j/k

Yet another ics thread, guess some people are better than others and are subject to ignore what's been said a million times.

Whoops nevermind.
Android version 4.0.4/ Baseband version T989UVLI1
Version
Android version 4.0.4/ Software number T989UVLI1
Approved 11/5/12
Improvements
Pinch & Zoom backend changes – No visible user changes
Prerequisites
You cannot check for Samsung software updates or download this software. T-Mobile will not push this as an OTA, because it does not offer new benefits.
This software is only on a newly purchased or exchanged devices.
This software was created for new devices only in order to meet a Samsung requirement for all carriers.
Both software numbers T989UVLH1, T989UVLDE and T989UVLI1 are the most updated software available.

Cool. I was thinking it was some sort of fluke lol

From the docs provided, T-mobile does not intend on releasing it, not even optionally. Perhaps you can provide a system dump, to show tmobile, dont worry about, we got this!

Well... I just flashed CM10 stable. IMO The stock ROM wasn`t worth it. There was no noticeable change from UVLH1 that I saw. In fact I thought it ran a bit worse. Maybe it was all the bloat. But the radio I haven`t changed so we can still rip that bad boy out. Fullflex still has his stock UVLI1 installation intact though.

In case you can't tell, that's sarcasm. LawStudent tried to compile, no go ATM

"Good things come to those who wait"
As of right now, the 4.1.2 roms for our phone is adequate enough. Most 4.2 roms that are currently out for other GS2 equivalents still have several issues that need to be resolved or are in beta. In my opinion, it is much better to wait for a stable 4.2 rom to upgrade to from the current 4.1.2 roms.
So to the devs who are working on getting 4.2 to our T989, take as much time that's needed. It is better to improve a good rom than to fix a broken one, perfection is key. Cheers!

So wait. Are we officially on 4.1.2? I thought s2x wouldn't be getting it until the start of next year? Or was it 4.2?
Now i am confused.

Officially we are on 4.0.3 (ICS). There were rumours of the S2X having Jelly Bean in December, but that's probably unlikely at this point.

it's 4.0.4

Now OP do you see what happened to your post. Hopefully in the future you think twice before posting random stuff like this. Unfortunately your question is not one that anyone here could easily answer.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2

IMO i think that 4.2 will be released which will be after the international version gets released and who knows when the international version gets released and it will take tmobile a couple of months to customize it so that they can release it for our devices so what i believe in is that when you guys finally hear news about the international version being released then i think you guys can post some threads that are accurate and not confusing most of the people on 4.2
Also on another note i think the thing you guys should put your hopes on is cyanogenmod 4.2.1 which still isnt as stable but for you people who are impatient
and like previously stated in this thread even when it gets released it still might not be a daily rom that you can rely on everyday to use to its full potential so sorry for anyone who got there hopes up

Its possible that we coldu get 4.2 but unlikely I doubt wwill get it officially as well.. Its more likely that we will end up with 4.1.3 or 4.1.4 ..or some sort of small incremental update after we get JB
