I would like to install this rom V3RTR3MA V 4.2.
I am running:
2.3.5
CheckROM Revolution v1.0
Baseband version: XXK14
Siyah kernel v2.1
So what are the neccesary steps to be taken in order to install the rom?
Its a fact that following the rom makers instructions is the key.The instructions are usually in post one .
In post one for that rom are the instructions ,
Instructions: no wipe needed; install from cwm, reeboot and you're good to go.
If you cannot understand those instructions then you need to start reading how to faqs and guides .

Yeah I understand that but I was just confused since mines is 2.3.5 and that's 2.3.6 and the bb version is different...so if I just do this on cwm and do the wipe and stuff...it will install normally?
If you have to ask this questions, you are not ready flash a different rom. Spent more time reading to find your answer. It will save you a lot of trouble if something goes wrong.
With 173 posts you should know to ask in the rom thread .

You are upgrading .

Hi guys,
I just bought my sgs2 and here is the current configs:
Model: GT-I9100
Android: 2.3.3
Baseband: I910XXKF1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKG2-CL342890 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.JPKG2
1. If I want to load custom rom like Litening or Criskelo, do I have to change the firmware/kernel first? each custom rom is based on different kernel, etc.
2. Any Kernel/firmware is compatible to my sgs2?
3. loading custom rom would require root, cwm?
That's all my queries for now.
I hope to hear from anybody soon.
Thank you.

read the above link and that will answer what you need to know.. also if you are going to flash a rom make sure you read the rom that you will choose thread..What i mean if you are going to flash say VillainRom read through the opening page and all your answers and guide will be there. Installation of rom and how to flash it and what kernel to use etc....When flashing a rom always stay with the Kernel that the dev provides with. Only saying that because what might work for others might not work for you.
But read the guide of the link i gave you and if you need more answers id be happy to help you out...Also on the Q&A forum hit the search button and try searching what you want, and see if anyone else has asked what you are looking for

Thanks in advance!
aprat from KIES update there are 2 ways,
1) official ICS flash from ODIN, 2) Custom Roms flash from CWM
for official you dont need Rooting,
for flashing Custom Roms from CWM you need Rooting & CWM.
Official Roms :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
custom Roms you can find here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204
rooting and Odin flash guides are there in my signature links

OP Kies is your official update path download it from Samsung .
Or the XDA path as posted above but you will need to read and understand .

thank you Zacq8 and Jjegan..
thanks for quick response, suggest me which is the best and less battery consuming ROM for sg2? Official or custom?
Neither. No such thing as best. Less battery depends on how you have the phone setup & how you use it (everyone is different). Try some roms out for yourself to find out which works best for you.

What suggested by Mistahbungle +
only what we can answer as per the rule is, By flashing official ROM you will not get any suppot from Samsung, by flasing a custom rom you may get support from it's Developer through his thread in this forum.
in development section, there are not only a single post of ROM of each custom Rom thread but there are prolonged discussions on each one, go through them before selecting one...
Calaxy S2 i9100 (international)
stock Android version Gingerbread 2.3.5 not rooted
Baseband version: I9100XXKI4
Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9100JPKJ2-CL655700 [email protected] #2
Build number Gingerbread.JPKJ2
no carrier. GSM sim card.
I want to perform the following to my i9100 phone:
1) How to move from the official Gingerbread 2.3.5 version to cyanogenMod 9 ROM. Including, can I install Cyanogen 9 on top of 2.3.5 kernal.
2) Best safe way to backup original stock Gingerbread ROM in case something doesn't go according to plan.
3) How and at what point during upgrade to CM 9 to root.
4) Which is the proper, stable kernal for this CM 9 (dorimanx has been recommended). At what point, during the upgrade process, is the kernal changed. This is a main concern I have.
I have never done any of this before. I didn't want to upgrade to Android 4.0.04 because of potential Super Brick or other complications. Jelly Bean is not an option for other reasons.
CyanogenMod 9 would seem to meet all my current needs for this phone, and is open source)
I have not seen a detailed "How to" guide to upgrade from stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 to CycnogenMod 9, rooting, and kernal install. Just parts of it scattered, a year old. Can someone guide me through this.
I just need a flexible stable everyday ICS level phone. I'm open to suggestions. Please remember, I have not done any of this before. Thank you.
Spoon feeding is not aloud here on xda. Please read them scattered threads for the info you need them put it all together and then read abit more. Learning is the key to xda not just asking then getting what you want. First thing you need to look at is rooting. Good guide on here telling you about root

So, i need to be super careful as this is the wifes phone.
Model number = GT-I9100
Android Version = 2.3.5
Baseband = I9100XXKI3
Kernel version = 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKI3-CL577579
Build number = WanamLite.KI3.V3.0
We bought this phone off local forums a while ago, and it seems to me that it's already hacked to a degree at least. custom rom already?
It's got CWM(v2.0 CF-Root 4.1) on it already which i can boot to through an app on the phone and manually... (ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2)
It also seems to have superuser installed? (su binary outdated notification, currently 3.1.3) i assume i have root as well?
So question is.. from here.. how do i update to latest version of CWM and android etc WITHOUT stuffing it up and ending my life as i know it?

Download the laatest jb custom rom from Xda which ever android version you want like 4.1.2, 4.2.2, 4.3 and put it in your ext/internal sd card and go to recovery mod and do a full wipe as you are coming from GB and flash your rom.
Don't firget to follow the procedure which was mention on the rom thread which you are going to flash.
Good luck
The phone is currently running a custom rom. You need to ask yourself the question 'Do I want to upgrade to a more recent custom rom (I'm sure there are recent WanamLite builds if that floats your boat), or do I want to upgrade to a recent stock rom & maybe leave the phone rooted ?'.
If you want to upgrade to a custom rom, go to the development sections, read up on some roms & try some out. You should be able to flash these with the CWM version that's currently on the phone; but as always though, read/follow the particular instructions for flashing the rom in question which are always on the first page of the thread devoted to the rom & are always very clear/simple.
If you want to 'upgrade' to a recent stock rom, get one for your country/carrier from Samfirmware, and flash it with Odin (How ? Thread stickied near top of Q&A has instructions). If you then want to re-root the phone (if you flash a stock rom, you'll lose root), again, in that same thread there's instructions on how to do so easily (there are also guides stickied near the top of the General section).
Thanks guys.. just wasn't sure if it was that simple or not
I'd like to update her phone to the newest custom vanilla android rom as possible (not samsung)
will go searching now.. (was looking at NEATROM)
What's this Aroma stuff?
And do i need to update to a newer CWM at all?
EDIT: Ok.. well all done.. seems to be good
It is simple;if everything goes to plan.But anything can go wrong with stuff not working.
Backup your efs folder and make a nand so you can get back to where you started.
Then read the rom thread for install advice and bugs etc.
And Mistahbungle could accomodate your wife if you muck up her phone......lol

ok.. no idea what the efs folder is... but i did do a backup through CWM first anyway..
But everything seems to be ok so far..
Cheers
You dont need to know what it is,although you can research it if you want.Just backing it up can prove vital if you need it.
A phone is a bit handier if it can make calls......lol

Hello
I'm new to the whole android development
I've had my S2 for some time now and you can tell what I'm dealing with when you know I have the stock rom and haven't tried rooting it
I found this "pound rom" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-pound-rom-t2535113
there is no "Steps" tho that I can follow
as this will be my first ever time
can someone be kind enough to tell me If I can root my phone and flash this rom using any tutorial out there?
or do I need different kernel? cause it says this in the thread: " Need to flash this ROM with a cm10.2 or newer kernel for best results. "
hopefully this thread isn't against the rules of the forum

first it is not against forum rules
second it means you just need to have a cwm version 6.0.4.3+ which you get in cm10.2 kernel so flash cm10.2 first reboot recovery then a full wipe and the install pound rom
root your phone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOaTscV92gU ( make sure you are running official jelly bean 4.1.2 xwl.x.x )
after rooting follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/cwm-kit-kat-compatible-t2546597 ( follow this carefully )
after completing the above two steps , you can flash the rom after you wipe data , cache , dalvik cache ... flash the rom and its respective gapps and reboot system .
if you want a kernel , you can flash it after you install the rom you want ( just make sure that is the kernel compatible with the rom and its android version )
feel free to ask anything regarding to galaxy s2 i9100 and you are in no way breaking any forum rules so ask any thing you do not understand ..all the best and happy flashing
a tiny warning after flashing kk comp. cwm
reboot to "recovery" not to system
sometimes i can be missed by newbies like me
