Yeah that's fine. What VERSION are you running? Is the zip file corrupt?

Android Version 2.3.5
Kernel Version 2.6.35.11
Build Number:GINGERBREAD.UVKID
My phone is rooted and i have root access. I don't understand why my roms won't flash. All fresh roms not corrupted there fine. It keeps giving me (status 1) errors. I don't know what that means.

Sorry, I meant what version of Cwm?

This sucks. Can somebody help me?

I figured it out i couldn't flash any roms that are not compatible with the T-989 since the processor is different from the sgs2 skyrocket

As you stated, you have an SGH-T989. Why are you even in this forum? This forum is specifically for the GT-I9100, which is the unlocked international version. There's a forum specifically for your phone. You should be there. The Skyrocket has it's own forum too. I would suggest you be VERY careful about what you flash to your phone, and where it comes from. If you don't end up being careful, you will end up with an expensive paperweight.

Ordering this bad boy tomorrow, can someone give me the what's what?

My girlfriend has one of these tablets (the 5.0 model) and I love it so I'm ordering one tomorrow. Straight away I'm going to want to be flashing a custom ROM to it. Can someone point me to information for this device? I've flashed many Samsung Android devices before with Odin and what have you.
Cheers.

For flashing it is through odin/heimdall or CWM (CM9 roms for example)

Thanks, i thought as much. Whats the deal with them being bricked? I remember reading about an EFS.tar?
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA
Bricking means that your device will not work. Its best that you backup ur device before flashing incase it happens and you need to install a custom kernal to using Odin.

siyah doesn't work with ZCLPF?

installing Siyah-s3-v1.5beta6.tar using odin 1.85 failed

Any comment is appreciated.

That's because you flashed an s3 kernel. You need to get the s2 one..

Because you need to find a rom made specially for i9100G! You cant install a rom made for i9100.

You're device is fine. I have the same thing and I've flashed hundreds of times. You just have to know what you're flashing and understand the basics

I am familiar with flashing. I had the LG Optimus LTE before this and flashed quite a few roms, This phone however has me awfully confused. I have been researching all day. And so far i am under the understanding that the touch cwm are not good and the use the 4.0.1.5 recovery. But what i don't understand is how do you install roms without wiping data/factory reset through cwm? don't most roms require this? and isn't that what causes the superbrick? Sorry for sounding like a noob. but can you tell me how you do your flashing?

Just use a different kernel, like siyah (www.gokhanmoral.com and make it's for the s2 not s3). Then you can wipe data. Just didn't not be on 4.0.4, and have a samsung based kernel (the kernel dev should have info in the op). Once you're on a safe kernel you can flash whatever you want and wipe data.

Ok so i flash the kernel via odin? because my phone doesn't have cmw installed. Siyah-s2-v4.0.1.tar that is the kernel i am about to flash. Is it safe for my phone? also do i need to do a backup of my stock kernel?

Yeah, you should be able to flash through Odin. And you can flash back to stock by getting a stock firmware from www.sammobile.com and flash through Odin

Did you wipe data when you installed it? It's usually highly recommended

Yes I wiped data, cache and dalvik cache. Couldn't get into recovery so i just re-flashed my firmware via odin. All is good now and successfully flashed cm9 with no issues. Must have been a bug in the rom.

Some questions regarding root...

Hi all, (this is my first thread)
I wanted to ask a couple of questions about which I am confused...
I am currently running stock 4.1.1 on rooted international galaxy s3..
Q1. Is there anyway I can get 4.1.2 OTA Without unrooting?
Q2. I am not sure whether the country I bought my phone from has got the update yet... So is there anyway I can check that...
P.S I got my phone from dubai..
But I live in India...
Thanks.

Can is flash the stock firmware downloaded from Sammobile.Com directly from clockwork mod?
And does it matter if I download firmware of another country??

Give a try to the temporary unroot option in the superuser app...
Not guaranteed to work...

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?
Thanks!

I had the same experience, Omega had loads of launcher redraws and sudden lag. No such experience on ARHD with Perseus kernel. That kernel now even has the exynos exploit fixed.
Nope, all other roms i've tried i never used more then a few hours.
Can you give me a link to the ARHD page?

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me
Best regards

Haha.. Thanks buddy.
Btw, I am not new to rooting, I have flashed at least 15 rom's on my old phone(galaxy ace)
But I was not a member of XDA then.. I just used to read....
But since s3 is much more expensive I wanted to be absolutely clear about the smallest of things...
Because with great power comes great responsibility.

I flashed it using http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip
1. put your phone in Download Mode. Plug your device to your computer, open Odin 3.0.7 click on PDA and find the tar file.
Make sure you let Odin finish flashing. Only unplug your device when Odin gives you a message saying, PASS.
Now reboot your phone to recovery and wipe data and reboot.
Good luck

It's true...a few of Us flashed the original N7005 firmware [without any issues] when the first ICS update came out. It doesnt take any special edits as it's the same device only lacking NFC and LTE. Works so well that devs built a few ROMS from the DXLJ2 base.
