Author Topic: URGENT: need add'l help with Android flashing  (Read 522 times)

long story short:  I have an AT&T Galaxy S2 (SGH-i777).  A few days ago they rolled out Android 4.0.4 for the Galaxy S2 and it's an absolute failure of an update, causing my phone as well as many others to simply "freeze" while the screen is off, requiring a hard restart to work again.  Normally this only happened maybe once a week with 4.0.3, which I was okay with, but now it's an hourly thing.

I have rooted my phone already.  I don't have any warranty to begin with because I bought the S2 refurbished.  My phone is now magically on Gingerbread 2.3.4 (this isn't even the version of Android they shipped this phone with, it came with GB 2.3.6).

I need help on what to do next.  I'm supposed to install some kind of kernal with ClockworkMod Recovery but I'm lost here.

EDIT:  nevermind.  I know what I'm doing (I hope).



NEW UPDATE:  successfully installed a gingerbread kernal with ClockworkMod Recovery.  can I just throw on an ICS ROM and flash that?
