Hi mate if u want good gb2.3.6 u should go for cheackrom v6 very good stable fast and battery friendly rom + syiah GB kernel every good combo
1.Download ROM and copy to your internal or better to external SD
2.go to cwm vol up+home+pwr btn
3.do backup if u need or don't if u don't need
4.factory reset/wipe cache
5.then install ROM
6.install syiah GB kernel
7.reboot
And that's it

The newer ICS versions are much better.
I think you should give ICS another shot, I'll assist if you face summit issues

the best way is to flash a custom 2.3.6. ROM, if you desire to keep your root access

can you give a tutorial link
It is worth to invest few bucks in Chainfire's Mobil Odin Pro from Playstore to flash any Rom (stock or custom) with EverRoot option. It is good solution for people with moderate knowledge about flashing, rooting, etc. It's also safer method for those people because there is no chance to screw up bootloader or choose inproper flash images to selected partitions.
But flashing original stock ICS and rooting it is not so hard. It's free but you need to know some basics.

Samsung has their own recovery on all galaxy device. So you don't need root to boot to it
To boot to recovery,
-Off your phone,
-Hold Volume up + home button + power button together
-Remove your hands from those buttons when your phone lights up.
I'm sure all this info is in that thread.
Read carefully and be a little patience

Heya
I'm rooting my phone for the first time. Had a quick look around the web and couldn't find the exact instructions for rooting the stock XXLQ6. However I have read that using the instructions set for xxlq5 is safe and won't cause any major issues.
Should I root the XXLQ6 using XXLQ5 instructions?
If not, please recommend any(safest) instructions on how I should root the XXLQ6.
Flash siyah kernel from www.gokhanmoral.com. Download the odin flashable one and flash it.
I suggest you be extremely careful if you follow another guide, since the stock kernel you have is dangerous and can hardbrick your phone.

That kernel is rooted. When you flash it, you wont have to do anything else to root it. Simply flash it from the pda section in odin.

Hi. I'm new to rooting and i would just like to make sure that I can use siyah kernel to safely backup/restore and wipe data/factory reset. I have the emmc brick bug (i checked using the app in the play store). It read that if i use stock kernel that i can hardbrick my deivce if i wipe data or restore a backup but is it the same situation with siyah kernel. Is is 100% safe to use this kernel. Sorry if this is a stupid question but i couldn't really find the answer anywhere else. I just want to make sure doing this will be safe.
My galaxy s2 is on 4.0.4 , i9100xxlq6 and pda is i9100xwlpt

Don't wipe anything, or make any backup after rooting your phone. Let me know when your phone is rooted, then I'll guide about flashing a custom kernel immediately. This way you are safe.
Or
If you are so, so scared, then i will advise you to flash a custom kernel via Odin at once. This is faster and safer in your case.
So which one do you prefer?

Hey there,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II, the info about the phone is in the attachment (Screenshot). I have been considering to root my phone lately due to the problems with my GPS. I have understood, that by rooting my phone, I can have access to such apps as FasterFix and GPS Aids which should solve the problem of changing my NTP server. I guess, that since the phone was bought abroad, it hasn't got the correct server in my country. So tell me, what is the best and the safest way to root my phone and is it even a good idea? Maybe you have other solutions? Anyways, I hope for your help, dear XDA-Developers
Cheers,
Olev.
EDIT:
Just checked the Got Brick bug? app. Found out that the kernel indeed is Known to have the bug. Really hoping for your help in solving this problem before I do something wrong with the phone.
Thank you in advance,
Olev.
Hi Guys,
I always had Problem with installing Siyah Kernel on my Phone.
As i was Using CF Root. Ehenever i tried to install Siyah. My phone got Soft Bricked so i had to Install CF Root again to Get ot Working.
So it was Clear if i root Without this type of kernel i would be able to Successfully install Siyah.
After alot of Research this Thread Gave me Hope.
Universal Root
But i Really didn't Understand Enough.
So i think i must ask Some of you Experienced Guys.
I want to Just Root and Install Siyah on My i9100
Things i Have:
Mobile Odin Pro
Odin v1.85
XXLPJ 4.0.3 [PDA CSC MODEM]
i9100 S II
Internet Connection
A Brain too.
Now Please tell me Which method Would be Good for me.
Thanks and Please, Its a Humble Request.

I don't seem to get you there.. you are now rooted as what you have said. Would you like to install a custom kernel: Siyah Kernel?
Hope this helps

If you are already rooted using CF-ROOT kernel, then trying to use a non-kernel method again, is both hilarious and time wasting.
If flashing Siyah kernel is your priority, in order to overclock, then let's go straight to the point

I assume from the information given above:
1. You are presently on ICS 4.0.3 xxlpj firmware.
2. You rooted your phone via non-kernel method and your phone was rooted.
3. You did not ROOT your phone by flashing CF-ROOT kernel, contrary to what you claimed in your first and second posts
3. Anytime you flash Siyah kernel image via mobile Odin, your phone is stucked on boot.
Please correct me if I'm wrong or missed anything

ok.
You just did a clean installation and you are rooted via non-kernel method. Good.
Do you have a temporary CWM recovery?
If you don't know if you have, then Please post the link to the tutorial you used

if ur trying the latest siyah kernel v4.x then it will not wrk properly with older ver of ICS 4.0.3 like XXLPJ for sure, hence for that u have to install some older version of siyah like v3.4 or v3.3 and see

If you want to flash another 4.0.3 firmware, then flash LPG or UHLPS.
LP7 is just like taking another step backwards

You can flash any GT I9100 firmware it will work fine and anytime you wish to claim warrant, you simply flash back Indian firmware.
Download it here:
1. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Or
2. www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-android-4-0-3-ics-xwlpg-firmware-95534/
For option two, the alternate download link is lot faster than hotfile

Dude if you need to take it to Samsung Care then justvreflash stock Firmware of your Region... It would be good... As it would remove all root apps

If you need to claim warranty, you will just flash back your original firmware. It takes less than 10 minutes.
Now, you need to remove yellow triangle and reset binary counter after you are rooted.

Rooting can not damage your phone.
You are the only one that can damage your phone if you don't know what you are doing and can't read or ask questions.
