Upgrading to ICS from custom ROM

Hi,
I'm currently running the Paradox ROM on the SGH-T989. Now, with ICS around the corner , I'd like to know how I can revert to the official ROM.
I've already taken a backup of the original stock ROM using the Clockwork Recovery mod. I'd appreciate it if someone could post an idiot's guide on upgrading to ICS from a custom ROM.
Thanks!

Who told you ICS is around the corner. It's at least a few good months away.

Flash it like any other rom (and specified kernal if there is one) would be my guess.

Most likly mistaking with the true GS2 International model

An engadget article. It's being rolled out for the normal SGS-II in Europe. I can't post the links until I'm 8 posts old , so here's the quoted text from the article.
After that March 10th mishap, Samsung reaffirmed to us that it'd deliver Android 4.0 for its GT-I9100 Galaxy S II when it was darn good and ready -- well folks, the company appears ready. It's just announced both via Facebook and Twitter that the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade that so many have lusted after is now available and will begin its rollout to users in Poland, Hungary, Sweden and Korea today, and will move onto other markets from there -- subject to carrier requirements, of course. Better yet, Samsung has affirmed that its Android 4.0 update for the Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will follow shortly. So, if you're one of the lucky ones to receive the upgrade, let us know how it fares for you in the comments below. Otherwise, feel free to keep clicking that update button.

I'm not familiar with how long the update would take to reach Carriers though. Anyway , I'm looking for a solution on how to upgrade when the update would come.
EDIT : Oops , someone beat me to it. I was referring to the international SGS-II. I'm not sure how long it would take to reach T-mobile.

I'm sick of the same thing being covered 20 times every day.
The international Galaxy S2 has NOTHING to do with our phone. Yes the name is the same but the insides of the phone are all different. They might as well have called our phone something completely different as to not confuse people.
Nothing from the I9100 will be usable for us. Nothing. Hence, I reiterate my previous statement: We are not seeing ICS for some months to come. Sad I know.

Here's your idiot proof guide.
Sell your t989 and buy the i9100.

The real frustration with this site is that people come here looking for more information and get greeted with condescending dickishness. Those guys posting about how awful it is to have to read threads asking about the update knew fully well what this thread was when they chose to come here.
I don't see how people can be so unaware of common sense that they would be surprised that a phone called the Samsung Galaxy S II getting the ICS update might confuse people who own a phone called the Samsung Galaxy S II into thinking they are getting an update to ICS.

By looking at the history, you can tell how long it usually takes for Samsung to deliver an update for carrier phones. As far as I can remember, for the T-Mo Galaxy S, it took them about 5 months to update to 2.2 AFTER the International Galaxy S received 2.2. This was about a month after google rolled out 2.3 via Nexus S.
The reason for the delay is because every carrier wants Samsung (and other manufacturers) to ensure that their bloatware works fine on their updated versions. And no matter how good Samsung's Hardware is, their software division is freaking slow!
So good luck waiting for 4.0. My guess is that it will be out by May/June/July/August.

Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec

Ok , thanks. But the real point of this thread was on HOW to UPDATE to ICS when it would finally come. It seems like everyone missed the point here. I don't really care when the update would come, that was never stated in the thread title nor did I ask for a date in my opening post.
I was fully aware that the "When is ICS going to arrive for T-mobile??!!" has been asked a hundred times, which is why I only asked HOW to update.

is it me or are more and more XDA n00bs taking things to seriously (not referring to the OP)
Well if ICS does come for our device in about 6 months.. you can always ODIN back to stock (check allgamers stickies) and wait for an OTA update, but you might have to wait for someone to exploit root access for 4.0... sooo i would wait until a dev creates a rooted stock ROM of 4.0.

Eh , the saddest part about it is how most failed to READ the thread. It was clearly stated that help was needed on HOW to update. The question "When will the update arrive?" was never stated in the opening post.

To answer the op, there's 2 ways to do it. first is to flash back to unrooted stock and wait for the push from tmo. Instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22881355
Second way is to wait for a deodexed or rooted version from a dev and just flash like a normal ROM.

[Q&A] CM10

This will be the offical q&a thread for my CM10 rom, if you have any questions or would like to report a bug please do so here and not in the development thread, thanks!
The thread

I really like that you are doing this, wish I could help you more but just dont have the knowledge.
Are you planning on a straight cm10 ported to this phone or are you going to try and keep the s pen functionality?
Either way excited to see your progress.
Thanks for taking the time to make more options for this bad ass phone.

From what I understand the CM team is considering on working on the spen functionality, as far as I know it is dependent on touchwiz, even if they were to get it to work it would be nothing more than a regular stylus.

Theres some good stylus gesture apps around that will help with that though...im checking out your port tonight. .
Is this a direct port from the other version of galaxy note2..or did you use a stock att note 2 stock base and port this ? Just curious before I try to install this so I have an idea..does it include the att modem and a stock kernel within the rom?.. thank you

i didn't want to post in the dev thread, because i haven't done much dev . but i'm very interested in an aosp build for this device. i have my build environment setup and i can build, but i'm just adding random things now to see what sticks (from the international note2).
i can certainly lend myself or my build server out.

Will CM10 be 4.2 or 4.1.2?

My understanding is that basic stylus input works in the current CM10 for the n7100 and for most roms for the original note. Native support for stylus input was added in ICS.

Does anyone have an approximate date that CM10 might be available for the Note 2

As said before most users will all reply the same way. ..never ask for eta blah vlah blah.
To answer your question t there is kernel issues with the drivers for data and connection along those terms. From what I read we do have some developers compiling cm 10 from scratch for our devices. My guess we are a few weeks away b4 we see a daily use version. .Lots of errors but usable.

Haha i know better than to ask for an ETA on the developer section.

No Time For Nightlies, Weeklies!!!

Hey Everyone,
I am sure this has come up before. I have been using Jedi Mind Trick 6, happily for a while now. I have had VERY FEW ISSUES until the other day when the phone shut off while browsing and I needed to restore my DATA. It wasn't that terrible but I can't have this happening while I am out in the field. I wanted to try another ROM but I can't seem to find anything that is STABLE. It looks like there are some camera issues with a lot of new ROMs. I rely on my camera and take a lot of pics. I know that this question is severely frowned apon BUT there are WAY TOO MANY ROMs for this phone. It seems like none of them are really stable and have way too many updates. I don't have time to update nightly or weekly. What ROM is the closest in reliability and performance to Jedi Mind Trick? I have been reading through threads for DAYS! Someone please give me a recommendation! Thanks in advance.

Many will disagree with you. And just cause you see a post or 2 in a thread saying something doesn't work....doesn't mean it's an issue for everyone.
So.....most will ignore this thread I'm afraid....but I can tell you what they are thinking ....just flash some roms until you find one that works good for YOU. Because that's the only way you will know what works good for you .
You will find some say this rom or that rom is perfect, and some will say this rom or that rom has issues. Asking is pointless I'm afraid.
My only advice....you prolly wanna try 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 roms for now. 4.3 is almost there, and for some its perfect too.....but others have issues. Or use 4.1.2 stock and call it a day.
Not all phones or users are created equal. The only way to find things that work for you is to flash them.
No offence intended .....but if you wanted stability over experimentation.....you picked the wrong phone.

Good advice to go with 4.2 ROMs. As you can see in my signature I'm no noob when it comes to flashing ROMs. My HD2 is a great phone. And you are right that this phone isn't that great but with the Jedi Mind Trick ROM it runs really well with great battery life. I was shocked when I had to restore DATA.
I just wish there weren't so many damned ROMs!

Can't believe u think there are too many ROMs lol, I think ur the only Hercules owner to ever say that, yes I can almost guarantee nobody is going to agree with u, and as far as ROMs with issues, I haven't seen one issue yet on beanstalk 4.3 or hellybean 4.3, actually to think of it there aren't many issues at all in most of the 4.3 ROMs up there lol and as was said before just because u see one person say the don't like something doesn't mean there are instabilities or issues man, go get a non developer supported device or go back stock if u don't like it lol but don't complain here about to many choices because that's why this forum is here, to offer choices lol

Good question... XDA has been removing the thread posted for 900h developments for some reason...
A fren opened it twice and both times it was removed.

GUYS ! we must stop this BULL**** ! this device is really cool and beast we have a great device too but no updates no development process WE GOT NOTHING! its not our fault that some of us love exyons and others are obligated to by it due to their country providers...

Now we have cm12 at least
Im making a new thread

Install AbhiDroid rom s6 port for s5 900h. believed guys its really amazing rom.

The thing is there's only about like 4 roms out there for the samsung galaxy s5 g900h. And only 2 custom kernels I believe which is liquid smooth and kians kernel. That's it. Yes the s6 port ae nice I have that currently on my device however samsung is fast moving into releasing new devices I work for at&t and we already know ahead which devices are coming out and about more or less when they're going to be released. The s7 is already made and they're going to be releasing it in the early 2016 according to our boss and big at&t boss from state. They're not wasting time they're also releasing another note and another edge phone so I want to see atleast another 5 roms for this device before it gets abandoned. I mean I see tons of roms for every variant its like everyone is sca red to mess with g900h variant. I would like to see a way to get this device working on 4G or 4g lte instead of h+. If any developer wants to share how to create a rom and has a guide I am more than willing to use my device to create and make and test custom roms for everyone. I also would like to see other ports aside from the s6. Like the note 5 for example.

Also want full s6 port for g900h

Just wait and see it's still VERY early days. Be thankful we even have Lollipop, though still much needs to be done on that front. Patients my friend. Also try to stick to XDA law and procedures. If it happens it will be down to devs and not cries from ourselves.
