ICS on Virgin / Bell Canadian S2?

[Gadgetguy2005]

Hello all,

Please be patient with me. I have some experience with the Galaxy tab and various custom firmwares on it - but I have not flashed new firmware yet on my brand new S2.

Now, since the official EU ICS is out, I would like to flash my S2.

Several people have done it, but the instructions are somewhat cryptic.

Could please someone post step by step instructions about how to do this?

Including: what files to use, what modem to use and also how to get this rooted?

Thank you in advance for the kindness of someone who has done this!

Thank you. I have done these steps, and it looks good.

But some widgets look a bit off (for example the widget where i can switch wifi etc. on/off). Is that how it should be?
