How to install Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) CyanogenMod 9 (CM9) Android 4.0 Galaxy S2

This is a video on how to install Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich CyanogenMod 9 Rom on a device which already has a android 2.3.6 rooted gingerbread operating system running, but i suppose it can be run from any android version as long as you have the ability to install from SD Card from the recovery console. In this video i am installing it on a Samsung Galaxy S2 Smartphone. This CyanogenMod 9 version should be more stable than the previous alpha7 version i tried but i will put up a video if i find any bugs.

Links are as follows to download the 3 files needed:

[MrSodabean]

is it safe to install this using the android recovery, rather then clockworkmod?

[inamghafoor]

@MrSodabean yes



[TheWinmedi]

Can you go from 4.0 to 2.3 again? How?

[inamghafoor]

@TheWinmedi yeah you can but you just re-image with a backup or completely wipe the phone and start again with any Rom

[itsCoreX]

is a full wipe essential?

[inamghafoor]

@itsCoreX in order to follow this process yes, there may be a none wipe version when it is officially released but not as far as i am aware now
