Hi im sorry if this has already been asked i couldnt find anything simlar.. Iv already rooted my galaxy s2 using oden im on 2.3.3, my question is how do i upgrade to 2.3.4 and will i lose root if i do it via oden... do i need to reflash root again with the correct kernal for 2.3.4 or is it ok to use the unstable one when i rooted on 2.3.3... I hope im making sense thanks..
Hi update went well however iv now found out theres another version KI8 i think is it worth updating again as the link provided was KI4 thanks..
latest firmware is kJ3 currently out and there is a root file for it also.
if you are happy with KI4, they stay with it you do not need to update everytime a new update comes out.
Guys has anyone experinced any camera problems with this update, for some strange reason the auto focus has stopped working and checked in the camera settings too under focus its on auto..also tried clearing data under settings..

So last night I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 and I’ve got a few questions regarding various things that I havn’t been able to find through searching around on the forums. If the answers are around the forums and I have missed them I apologize and hopefully you can direct me there.
1. Since I used chainfires rooting method. I’ve used Nitrality’s app to ‘backup’ my /efs and something else it backup up. Here I’m wondering if I use a custom rom such as “Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3” will the things I backed up with Nitrality app restore my original ROM and Kernel incase something hardware wise fails and I need to send it back in to claim on my warranty.
2. The second question im asking is regarding various Custom roms, if I choose to flash ;Lite’ning rom, will I be able to since it states it’s;
based on I9100XXKH3 firmware
baseband I9100XXKH3
The baseband I’m using is XWKE7, will I be able to use this rom?
3. since the version of android I have is 2.3.3 and majority of the Roms need 2.3.4 will it work correctly? If not and I have to legitly update to 2.3.4 will it successfully update since i've rooted my phone?
Hopefully you guys can help answer my questions. Thanks.
bump because I really need help :[
- Litening ROM is based on KH3 ROM, that doesn't mean you need to have a Stock KH3 ROM. So yes, you can install it.
- As I said it doesn't matter what ROM you currently have to flash a 2.3.4 ROM.
- Don't know about the Back up issue, sorry.

thankyou so much for your help
before I flash it will I need to upgrade my 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 though?

Hi everyone
So I have Tab 10.1 which I bought in June... Later on I rooted it, a while ago before the touchwiz firmware update came out. Once that came out, I tried to update it numerous times (im not sure whether the tablet was still rooted or not when I tried to update) and the update failed continuously... Anyhow, don't ask me why I did this but I erased my system in the bootloader!!! I didnt realise that it was literally the OS I was clearing.... Eventually I found a firmware file on the internet for it and flashed it... Previously my Tab was running the HMJ37 UEKMB firmware, now it is running the Europe HMJ37 XXKFC firmware which has touchwiz already...
Now what I want to know is, is this firmware genuine, and will I be able to recieve future updates on it such as ICS when they are released? If not is there any place where I can find the UEKMB firmware to flash to my Tab??

It doesn't matter if it's genuine, don't use stock firmwares anyways. Custom ROMS are better. Wait till someone on this forum develops a sick ICS ROM.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
So, what is the coolest rom available at the moment for my Tab?? Just rooted it but duno what rom I could install.... Preferably one with more customized UI on top of TW... I saw a few pictures of home screens set about the windows phone 7 look... Is there a rom for that?
please refer here mate..

You can get samsung official firmware from them: http://m.samsung.com/us/support/downloads
But I prefer "In Paris" by Task650 and Phantom.
Hi Guys
first things first - i am really new to android development so apologies if i am not making any sense...
Device
I have a Samsung Galaxy 2 in the UK on o2
background
I wanted to play with new roms so i rooted the phone and downloaded clockwork rom manager, but could never get it to work, it would always come up with an error screen when i tried to flash a rom using it or ender recovery mode using it.
i used Odin and that works, so after a brief, accidental stint on a US At&T rom that (obviously) didnt work i downloded lite'ning rom and installed it. and that worked fine.
current problem
I recently downloaded an ICS Samsung rom and have installed it using Odin, apart from the occasional glitch it works fine, i cant seem to screenshot so the details are below
Model
GT-19100
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband version
19100XXLPB
Kernel Version
3.0.15-19100XXLPB-CL99600

i wanted to flash Resurrection Remix ICS ROM v9.6 for Galaxy S2 i9100 but when i go into CWM it is saying i am not rooted, so i ran DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit but is still showing as non-rooted
it seems like my phone isnt allowing the installation of Busybox etc.. on the device, it's saying the folders are read only?
i have the correct drivers, and have selected USB debugging and unknown sources.
any help gratefully received.
many thanks
David

zergRush isn't for ICS ROMs. You just need CF-root flashed from Odin.
did u try to flash cf root in odin??

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER.zip ***
download this,unzip,put in odin in pda and flash it.
think this will help
this appears to have worked! - will try to flash Resurrection Remix ICS ROM v9.6 and feedback
thanks!
flash worked fine - all seems good.
Apart from some of my previously downloaded apps are not showing up in the 'my apps' section of the google play store for re-download.
any ideas why this might be? - incompatible with ICS maybe?
thanks all
Thanks for reading - I'm a noob.
I came here to learn about rooting devices over 6 months ago and decided to have a go at rooting my SGS 2 to remove the bloatware and speed it up a bit.
Performance has been great - I left the stock firmware because the OS/ROM was not a concern to me. I simply flashed the kernel with CF Root: CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.tar
Now I am led to understand I would need to flash back to my stock kernel to allow the OTA update for ICS - the only issue is I cannot find any available downloads for I9100TDVKF4 - Telstra's stock kernel.
Now I read somewhere a reply to a similar question was "just flash it with a new rom, I dont know why you want to go to stock" - Well I want to update to the official ICS. I was under the impression that would be available a long time ago and never was. I just want to....
Please can anyone help me to point out where I can find that kernel? perhaps there is a different kernel i could use?!
Is there any ICS firmware I would be able to download and flash to the ROM using Odin whilst keeping my phone rooted?
I found this place really helpful in how to root and now I just hope someone can help me get onto ICS!
Cheers
Is there any ICS firmware I would be able to download and flash to the ROM using Odin whilst keeping my phone rooted?
No only custom rooted firmware .
Try Checkfus for your stock firmware download and flash via Odin .
Dont confuse yourself with kernels without understanding .
ICS on Checkfus or Kies for your phone install otherwise wait until your provider releases .
or flash your original saved firmware that will overwrite root .

Thanks for taking the time to reply mate....
Dont confuse yourself with kernels without understanding - dont worry ive been trying not to but it seems thats the only thing i changed on my phone when i rooted it so i was lead to believe i needed to change that back...
My provider has just released new version of ICS but i cant actually install it once ive downloaded it over the air it only gets to 8% then reboots itself and i believe thats because the phone is rooted...
or flash your original saved firmware that will overwrite root - I dont know if i backed it up correctly on the guide i was using!!! The only thing i backed up was the apps using titanium backup so now i feel im stuck!
Use check fus down loader and get the official ics ROM.
It's under i9100t Australia/telestra
Problem solved.

LP7 is ICS rom, not a gingerbread one. the KL1 you found is the correct indian gingerbread ROM.
I had it, and had reflashed it sometime back. It is as stable as you can get. Here is the link again:
