I want to find out how do I get Gingerbread on my phone. Need step by step on how to do this. Thanks.
You can't yet. Keep an eye on the development forums from time to time. Who knows how soon well have it.

If they change the architectural software structure of Ice-cream(2.4 or 3.1?) then no it would not upgrade, But I would bet a dollar the phone will be able to handle at least 2 or 3 more upgrades before software and apps will require a larger ram and duo core cpu
BTW way to the other posting....... froyo, gingerbread etc are the code names they gave each version of android....... 2.2, 2.3 etc
i have this rom gingerbread 2.3 from another forum but im a noob how do i flash

Not true because someone I know got it on their phone and told me to come to this site to do it. Thats where got it from. Might have to ask this person on exact instructions how he did it.

Well either you or he was confused. There's more than a couple Gingerbread themes out there, but thats all they are is themes. There is one EXPERIMENTAL Gingerbread build out, but as such, its not stable and could not be used daily.
Its being worked on, but Samsung has not even released the 2.2 source yet. When that happens, maybe some doors will be opened in that direction.
But as of right now there is NO stable Gingerbread rom, no matter what your friend told you. If there was you would have gotten actual help, instead of some of the less serious responses.

You guys are ass holes and also idiots. The OP and the guy you quoted asked and stated real things. Just because gingerbread currently isn't stable doesnt mean the guy wasnt running it on his phone.
OP the gingerbread rom can be found in the development forum.

Thanks subzerold ! You are right.... I came here with a serious question and for help and people started posting all types of jokes and nonsense when none of this is needed.
What does OP means ?
So, once I get to the development forum how do I get it and install it on my phone ? Thanks for the information and help. Appreciate it.

you cannot unlock an encrypted bootloader or it would of been done already. i don't know what it's going to take to get it through some of your heads.

??????? If it wasn't currently locked or going to be released locked then HTC would say so, as this is giving them bad PR.
From the statement they released it undoubtedly wasn't going to be released unlocked....

Can the xtc clip not even unlock it because its suppose to unlock all bootloaders and devices up to date ?
There's a difference between locked and encrypted. The Evo3D bootloader is encrypted. Which requires cracking a 256 bit AES key. Anyone work for the NSA?

So I bought my phone striaght out the AT&T store and I have heard repeatedly that the AT&T version of the Galaxy S II is the SGH-777 but when I boot my phone it always says GT-I9100....is there a difference? And if so does that mean I should be using a different forum to get my ROMs? Thanks for answering my question in advance and for any help provided.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I9100 is the international version of the SGSII. If you bought it new in the U.S. it should be an i777. If it has been flashed it could have an i9100 ROM on it, but if you got it from an AT$T store I doubt that's the case.

Was your phone sealed in the box or refurbished?
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Sounds like he somehow got a device from the store that had a custom kernel flashed on it... Same question, is there a big yellow triangle?
Was this a refurb?
Yep, sounds like someone messed with this phone before! I'd take it back and exchange it!
I dont believe stores can sell refurbished phones, only online can sell them. Either someone in AT&T was messing around with a phone and flashed a custom rom on it, or somehow an international version got slipped in... but the box would have to be a blue/white/orange box with AT&T on it.
Weird.

Yea I bought it brand new with my upgrade straight from AT&T. Lol I think I know the issue tho...I don't exactly remember what it was like stock but I've since flashed a ROM on it from this forum, maybe that explains it. I could have sworn that it always said I9100 but truthfully I might not have noticed it til after I flashed.

Before rooting my phone for the 1st time, I read the entire FAQ and knew that if I used methods that tripped the flash counter I would get the caution mark boot screen.
Your first post makes it seem like your phone came rooted from the store, when that wasn't the case.

I don't think he was ripping anyone saying he's "owed anything". Just exhibiting frustration on a locked bootloader. I too had hoped Sammy would not have gone this route, and more development would continue. Those of us on VZW should come to expect this now, as they are nazis with the bootloader. Bootloader unlock is not a selling point for me, but it does make it more fun.

It is frustrating for those of us on ME7 not to have an unlocked bootloader, but I for one am grateful for the options we DO have right now... you can still root and use Xposed to customize to your liking or use Safestrap and flash a decent amount of roms. I will keep waiting patiently for someone to find an exploit, but in the meantime just shut up and enjoy what options we're even lucky enough to have. You picked Verizon, did you really expect freedom?
I just want the apps Verizon denied me
