Hi all, I'm new to S2 rooting. I'm doing it for my friend to root and also install custom ICS rom. I have a HD2 and love flasing different rom. very nice! anyway,
Right now he's on XWKF1. I've seen other ICS Rom with XXLP2. In other words, I've to change the firmware and kernel?
Where can i find the link to download to upgrade everything to install/upgrade to XXLP2? So that I can flash ICS Rom.
Thanks again.

So, i've heard that when installing the newest official rom for Hero, you cannot root it the way we used to, do this prevent me from installing the modaco rom? If so, what do i need to do to install the modaco rom instead?
The Modaco custom ROM is pre-rooted so you don't have to do anything else after flashing.
Yea, that's fine, but can i just install it over the rom i already have? Or do i need to do something to prepare the phone for the new custom rom, since apparently after installing the new official rom, a new hboot get's installed which makes rooting impossible, almost, or so i've heard.
Have you look at the following thread already?

That has instructions that you need to follow... And then you can flash Modaco custom.
Hi,
Can anybody tell me if i root my s2 (currently on KF3 firmware) with cf method and flash stock kernel,will i be able to install new ROMS like litening etc,how ?, and will i be able to come back to my stock firmware and kernel,and how ?
thanks in advance !
You can flash any Custom firmware anytime, without root. And you can go back to Stock firmware and kernel anytime.
Regards.
so if i root(by a method you earlier told me),can i also use any rom on that ?if yes then how and also can you please tell me how to come back to stock rom(before flashing with custom rom) state ?
You just need to add the .tar file of the Custom firmware in PDA section of Odin and flash, same for Stock ROM.
Regards.
you can root your phone as ihappy said but use the threads on the forums to find the stock kernels and roms that suit you. and i mean by what region you at. most of the custom roms come with root anyway so i would not worry about rooting. the thing is though whenever you do flash always make backup. first time i flashed i did not do backup and i was panicking on how to go back to stock.but thankfully the guys in this community are the best around and helped me out. hope my post helped in anyway

Hi all,
I did a quick search and but didnt find a direct answer anywhere, I only found that the current stock rom is running 3.1 and the update to 3.2 hasnt been rolled out in the UK.
My question is, if you have UK model Galaxy Tab 10.1 16/32gb wifi only, can you flash a custom rom to upgrade it from Honeycomb 3.1 to 3.2? Or do you have flash a stock 3.2 rom from a different country then flash a custom rom? If it is possible, will I also need to flash any new kernels or would they be included in most of the custom roms that are available? Many thanks in advance.

You can flash a custom Rom directly. No need of flashing a stock Rom in between as you said.
A Rom contains kernal also. Some will have stock kernal and others custom kernal.
I would suggest you to try Galaxy Task Rom. It have Pershoot's custom kernal also.
Thank you for confirming this for me.

Hi! Yesterday my LG G5 is dead. So I had a crazy idea: could I resurrect my old Galaxy S3 and use it until black Friday arrives. Is a bad idea? Could you help me about a simple ROM?
Thank you in advance!
Update the phone to the latest stock ROM, flash TWRP, and look in the ROM development section for a suitable ROM.
Firstly thank u.
I have installed a resurrection remix 2 years ago... I have to install a ROM stock again?
No advice on a stable and "basic\light" ROM?
You didn't mention the baseband and modem version in the phone which is why I recommended installing the latest stock ROM because this will ensure that the phone is running the latest bootloader and modem.
I can't offer advice about a custom ROM because I haven't used an s3 for a long time.
