I'm an immigrant from the iphone, and I've recently purchased and rooted my Samsung Galaxy S II LTE[/URL]. I've downloaded ROM Manager to backup and flash a new ROM, but when I try to run ClockworkMod Recovery it doesn't list my exact phone under the 'Confirm Phone Model' - the closest match is "Samsung T-Mobile GalaxyS2"
Now rather than just jump ahead and try it, I thought I'd ask for help first. I've tried some browsing on the forums here, but I can't find my exact phone there either. Any ideas?

Good thing you checked, too, because you're in the wrong forum. This is for I9100 - the international Galaxy SII.
The only LTE version of the Galaxy SII that I know of is the SGH-I727, and as far as I know, currently only available on AT&T in the US, and Rogers (as the SGH-I727R) in Canada. You want to be in this forum instead.
Whoops. Thanks for the tip.

I currently have a i-9000, the 3 button version in my hand.
I'm trying to use this for T-mobile.
Somehow, I was lucky to get 3 button PDA file for JFD.
I have been using it ever since for my t-mobile account,
however...
I'm in big urge to try the ROM.
I already have rooted and done several things with my brother's
vibrant version of Galaxy S, as there is many ROM's out there for it.
However, obviously, it is impossible to find ROM for I-9000 that is
designated for T-mobile U.S. version.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem..
I know that.. if I tried something like..
rooted i-9000 with any I-9000 rom on this forum won't work,
nor can I flash the modem file only after flashing ROM on the device.
What is possible solution?
My ultimate goal is to Froyo this i-9000 and use it as T-mobile USA.

If you have an I9000, then go to there section if you have a question about it.
I posted in the section as well.
Since its, somewhat T-mo related, as well as Galaxy S model,
I think its okay for me to ask a question in here, too.
Can you use Web2Go with the i9000?

Not really. If I had a question about the Optimus S, I wouldn't ask it on the Optimus T boards.
Hi All,
First off I apologize for my layman terms and my ignorance. I am a brand new Samsung Galaxy SII user. I have a plan with AT&T and mine is stock- My girlfriend is who has the problem, therefor I am asking for her.
She unlocked her Samsung Galaxy SII herself and is on an in-state cell provider. She has rooted her phone and encountered some problems... Calls not being heard, bottom touch buttons not working, etc. So currently we are working on getting it back to the stock i777 (it's on a 9100 and upgraded to 2.3.5) in hopes of returning it.
I downloaded Odin onto my computer in an attempt to help her. I downloaded the rooted system package because she wanted to keep her root, and I downloaded the Modem thingy to help with the calls not working. I thought I could just extract these and put them into Odin, but it's not doing anything :/ It recognizes them but starts to load up and then stays where it's at, and everything is the same.
I'm frustrated because Im a complete noob to all of this. I am used to iPhones and iPhone terms, and I am familiar with jailbreaking them. But things like Kernel, pit, modem, etc are all foreign words to me, so I am having trouble picking the right words to search for in the box.
Is there anyone that can lend a complete moron some help? I dont even know where to start. I'd love to get this fixed for my girl.
Flashing to i9100 ROMs are to the blame for all her issues. International versions are not compatible firmware and hardware wise with AT&T version. You will get button issue and call issues.
The problem you have is probably due to a newer boot loader being updated to the phone and it is refusing anything other than the i9100 ROMs.

Bootloaders don't do anything like that.
My suspicion is that it's some sort of driver problem. Beyond that, I don't know - I've never flashed from Windows before.
She shouldn't need to return her phone. Running an I9100 ROM and modem is known to cause ALL of the issues she's having.
Does her device have working Clockworkmod Recovery? If so, try flashing Cognition X2 from the development forums here. Make sure it's X2, not S2 - S2 is for the I9100. Cognition X2 is intended for our phone.
Thank you both for your replies so far! I am going to try the Cognition X2 and see how that works.
I had the same problem.
Use this as a guide fixed it:
Recovering an ATT Galaxy S2 after flashing GT-I9100 Firmware in the development section.
We got it fixed! Buttons work and so do the calls! Back on i777 too! Thanks!
I am looking for a way to restore the Samsung Exhibit II 4G to the stock 2.3.6 ROM. NOT 2.3.5. I have found a way to get 2.3.5 on and I did but did not find a way to upgrade to 2.3.6, as Samsung's Kies software said my phone was not support in Kies 2.0. I flashed Peach Sunrise on it and am using it now but for future reference or errors would like to find a way to go back to stock 2.3.6. Anybody know a way or have the stock 2.3.6 rom that I could flash?
I used this thread originally (before I installed Peach Sunrise) to get back to 2.3.5:
http://androidforums.com/exhibit-2-...bit-ii-4g-back-its-factory-out-box-state.html
I saw this thread post but I am not sure if it works, as it is from a different phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28233487&highlight=2+3+6#post28233487
Any help would be appreciated!
have you looked in the wiki? Not sure how this differs from the other methods you tried, however this should get you back to stock. Even if it's just 2.3.5, you should be able to OTA update to 2.3.6. I've never done this myself, so I can't be 100% certain. Personally, I find CM10 to be much better for this phone.
If you still have issues, you could probably send a PM to jocala to ask for assistance. He did tons of work for this device, so if anyone can help, it's definitely him.
FYI: the Samsung Exhibit II 4G was later re-branded as the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G. They are the exact same device. Look under your battery to find T-679 on the label, as this is the device which is referred to by both names. In Canada, this phone is also known as the Galaxy W 4G, which isn't to be confused with the I8150 which is also Galaxy W (very important not to confuse the two). All-in-all, as long as you're using a T-679, follow the instructions from the wiki.
To start off this post, I am very sorry if this has already been posted/answered on here. I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find it.
Okay, onto the question. I recently installed ROM Manager on my Galaxy Player 5.0 (YP-G70) It has the touch sensitive buttons on the bottom, not a physical button, if that helps clarify which device I have at all. Anyway, when I go into Rom manager to Flash clockwork recovery, It asks me to confirm the phone model. I get a list with these phones (and this is all of them)...
Galaxy Tab - ATT
Samsung Charge
Samsung Epic4G
Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Samsung Galaxy Tab (T-Mobile)
Samsung Galaxy Tab (VZW)
Samsung GalaxyS Captivate
Samsung GalaxyS Fascinate
Samsung GalaxyS Vibrant
Samsung GalaxyS i9000
Samsung Indulge 910
Samsung Indulge 915
Samsung Sidekick 4G
Obviously, Samsung galaxy player is not on this list. I don't know which one to choose. I know I have seen other Galaxy Player 5.0 users (on youtube tutorials etc...) with the same player I have, and I have made sure that Rom Manager is updated in case there were updates including my version, but it turned out that I was already up-to-date.
If you can help me out in any way, thank you.

First off, you have the USA model (with all capacitive [light up] buttons). To my knowledge, there is no support for the Galaxy Player (any model) in the ROM Manager app. I am not sure what YouTube videos you are referring to, and I am equally unsure of what they would have been talking about in those videos. The only way I can think of that you could tweak the device to make ROM Manager compatible is to change the device ID in the build.prop file in system root. And, I am not sure if that is OK to do, or not.
Sorry I could not give you a more definitive answer on that front.
As for CWM recovery, you have to use the software, ODIN to flash a device-compatible kernel which has CWM recovery built into it. There is a kernel (or 2) for the USA Galaxy Player 5.0 that has CWM recovery built in. You have to use ODIN to flash it on your device.
If you don't know anything about this procedure there are lots of good threads in the development section with thorough explanations on ODIN and flashing ROMs and kernels to your device.
Good luck.
Put the player in download mode (back+volume down+power). Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445840 and start odin, click the pda button and choose the file and connect your phone and press start, flashing the kernel will take approx. 5 seconds and your phone will reboot automatically.

NEVER USE ROM MANAGER! IT WILL BRICK YOU. Ok, now that that's settled, the previous poster is correct, you need Entropy512's kernel, as CWM is part of the kernel for this device. The instructions above will work for the ".tar" file (the oldest release), or you can do it any of the other ways listed in that thread.
I have a very "rare" phone and I cant root it. I found some portuguese sites but they dont work. Any suggestions?
Anyone?
Depends on what update you are on, but with that one just grab a custom recovery for the Skyrocket, flash via Odin, and use it to install the newest SuperSU zip from Chainfire. Your phone is just like the Skyrocket S2 from AT&T and Rogers so pretty much any of the mods for them should work for you. Also, this:
