Hello Galaxy s2 owners,
I have 2 questions I need help with:
I sold my iphone 4 to get the Galaxy S2 , it comes with gingerbread. When icecream sandwich comes out (Android 4.0), is it easy for me to upgrade to the new android version.......... like in the iphone you can just sync to I tunes and do it,
I want to know is it simple for a non techie person to upgrade the firmware to ice cream sandwich when it comes out ?
Second question: They released an extended battery for the galaxy s2 anyone has any experiences with it and can tell how long it lasts ?
Thanks

You will upgrade either through samsungs version of iTunes which Is kies, or through a leak, in a program called Odin (but you will download the rom independent in this process). We will most likely get 4.0 or 3.5 or what ever its gonna be called in a cyanogen mod rom first, and that would be flashed by a functioning clockworkmod (CWM), and for the second question, learn to charge every night at bedtime and your phone will last you all day mate

Both are a simple process, kies is simpler because its all automated, but the downside is you will have to wait until Samsung officially releases it. I'm running 2.3.4 thanks to Odin. Odin is a little more technical but with a little revision and research you can master it in 10mins, there is a great tutorial in intratechs thread in the Dec section that tells you how to flash his packaged stock roms for Odin check it out)) Odin is my preferred way because roms are leaked usually a few days/weeks before they are released on kies

Hello,
Thanks for the quick response, with odin my galaxy s2 must be rooted right ?
My phone numbest be rooted before i can use odin to instal the new os on it right ?
I think rooting it would be a techie skill than a newbie skill.

No,
Rooting is something that's done when the rom is installed, to install the rom you will go into a mode called download mode. You get into this mode by holding(down volume, power and home buttons until you get to a screen which asks you if you want to install custom Roms on the device. You reply yes by up volume and you should see a big green android, this is the mode you flash through Odin in. There is a great tutorial on intratechs thread dude in the dev section, he explains how to use it, once you start flashing its like heroin, lol

To root is just as easy too, its just a matter of flashing a kernel the same way and then flashing the stock kernel back. You have the biggest support network here so we are here to help you every step of the way. You will get the odd mushroom here that will say, use the search button, and stuff like that, but ignore them They forget that they was new once too

odin dosnt require root
its a pc program
ull just have to show odin where ur update is (4 files )
then click 3 check boxes
shut down ur phone and go to download mode
*u do that by clicking 3 buttons a lot like jail breaking an iphone
after that press volume up on ur phone to start download mode
and odin on ur pc will show a yellow box
after that click start on ur pc and wait
these are normally for stock roms from samsung not custom roms
i normally stay away from custom roms too scared

You can't brick through Odin, unless you disconnect during flashing the radio. You have actually more chance of bricking your phone during a kies update as its buggy and crashes out quite a lot;(

Cyanogen mod is android in its purest form built purely from open source. Its then tweaked to add special menus and options to give it an extra edge. Also it gives the latest OS to the masses earlier. The desire HD has only just got gingerbread, cm has given gingerbread to the desire HD for about 6 months)) this is its beauty

Hello,
Is cynogen mod available for the galaxy s2 yet ? So in essence CM is better than stocked android on the galaxy s2. If i am understand correctly I can use odin to root, update and get a better and newer version of android before it is officially out. This is awesome. Whats the downside, do i need drivers, does it drains the battery etc, will i still have touchwiz ?
Don't listen all this tech oriented guys. If before you use your iPhone as-is, you don't need any kind of Odins, firmwares et cetera. Samsung Kies found any official updates, and with two mouse clicks you can install this on your phone. Thats all.
Samsung Galaxy II have very impressive tech parameters, but really disappointing with software. It is reason why people looking for another ROMs flashing this trough Odin and so on, but still no one from this ROMs don't resolve all problems and bugs..
And keep in mind - in case of failure - you can brick your phone and/or loose guaranties..
And I agree with qwerty warrior..

Just look at custom ROMs features. Lag fix, lag fix, lag fix..
For example - I have been using HTC Desire Z & HTC HD - and HTC original soft is much more better then Samsung. Not ideal, of course, but much better! But Samsung have better hardware and screens..
I do not want to discourage people from learning! No! I only ask to do it gradually and safely! Each with a time can begin to flash the phone and use custom ROMs, but not the very next day after switching from iPhone to Android.
Hello. I am needing help with the Galaxy Ace GT 5830. My friend took it upon herself to try to update to the CM9 beta and it didn't work out.
I've tried helping her by going back to the stock rom that I found however its really random as to win the rom's installation will be a success. Sometime it will hang on the Samsung logo screen and sometimes it will load in the rom just fine but her phone network will not pick up her carrier. Sometimes it will pick up the carrier but later it will lose the connection.
model: Ace GT 5830 (I assume this is the same as the Ace GT s5830)
kernel: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL882825
[email protected] #21
current rom: update-cm-7-20120602-NIGHTLY-cooper-signed.zip
I've been using Odin 4.38 with an included "TASS_v1.0.ops" file (not sure if that's significant). The phone has clockwork recovery 5 installed on it.
I obtained the stock firmware from the Samsung site:
GT-S5830_NEE_S5830XWKT7_S5830XWKT3_S5830OXFKT1 and it sometimes installed correctly but as I said previously the phone network would rarely work.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? No, she didn't make a backup when she did all this unfortunately
Use cooper.ops. Tass.ops is for galaxy mini. U can succesfully flash ace with that mini's ops amaze me
Next time make sure to understand and know exactly what your're doing before u do something stupid that can hardbrick the poor thing

Hi
I'm the friend in question he was helping
We've since changed back to stock without an issue, however I've now gone from 5830 to 5830D since apparently that is the only Canadian stock ROM we can use with the correct baseband.
CWM however doesn't seem to install with this particular model now, so I'm stumped at how to get it to install when that model is not officially part of the script.
Is there either a stock 5830 (not version D) ROM and/or CWM file that works with the newer version? Sorry I'm completely new at this so sorry if I'm not asking the right questions
baseband doesnt matter these days, unless your're running the ace from latin america which uses different gsm spectrum than the international ace, you can just flash any stock international ace and got all working perfectly fine.
btw the latin america ace also can use international ace rom, just need to reflash the modem afterwards.
try these, flash any stock ace rom, then flash just the modem taken from that rom for your region.
Ok will try that.
I thought the baseband did matter only because when I tried two other stock roms I was unable to connect to the network afterwards, till I found the one using TLKI4, granted we did nothing with flashing the modem.
No, baseband doesnt matter much. I've been running my ace with chinese, russian, europe baseband and didnt find any difference.
But in the case u got constant network drop, maybe your operator need specific modem for your county/region.

I did not create this but spent a lot of time testing it. Before anyone says anything about this not being in the Dev section I figured this would be the right place to put it since the rom is not for the Galaxy Note I717 so I am hoping it is in the right place, but if it needs moved I am sorry.

I know its not an ICS rom, but its a start. Use at your own risk I am not responsible for your device bricking. It worked well for me so hopefully you will not have any problems either. Also I uploaded it to 4shared.com only but if you want to re-upload it to another site post the link and I will put it in this post.

Hi Guys,
I was able to root my Galaxy Note SHV-E160s. I know it is rooted because I can run apps that needs root access. Many Thanks to Tegrak who made this possible. Now the only thing missing is a CUSTOM ROM. Before, they said that it is impossible to upgrade the HTC BlueAngel to Windows 6.5, but it was a success and now an old friend on mine (D-TWO) was able to make android work on it. Before, they said that HTC HD2 can not be upgraded to Android but lookwhere it is right now. Running on ICS and beta JB. Galaxy Note SHV-e160s, is not far from it. If more people will request here, developers will listen. Please let's make this happen.
I want to share how I was able to root my Note (SHV E160s) successfully. All credits goest to Tegrak.

First I downloaded these files
>Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.recovery.tar
>Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.zip
>SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe
>SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
>Odin3_v1.85_intratech.zip
>TEGRAK app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...WsubGFnZml4Il0.
The Build number of my Note is SHV_E160s_FA09, that's the reason why I'm gonna use the files mentioned above.
1. Installed TEGRAK APP. (look in Google Play)
2. Save Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.zip on my phone. Should be in internal memory /sdcard/tegrak/update folder
3. Save the file Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.recovery.tar in my laptop
4. Installed Samsung USB Drivers
5. run ODIN
6. Turned off the phone and went to download mode (hold power + home button + volume down key)
7. Connected the phone to my laptop
8. Once Odin detected the phone I clicked on PDA and searched for Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.recovery.tar
NOTE: Do not tick on anything, just leave everything the way it is.
9. Click on start....wait....wait...it will tell you when it's done and you phone will automatically boot itself
10. Turn off the phone again.
11. Go to recovery mode (power button + BOTH volume keys0 and once you see the SAMSUNG name, unhold the power button while holding BOTH volume keys. And you will have the recovery mode. You will have two options, select the second one where it says install from ZIP and look for Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.recovery.tar and flash it. Once done, it will reboot your phone.
12. Go to your apps and run Tegrak Kernel App. Tap on Enable rooting. And will then give you a message where it says "Success! done."
Your Samsung Galaxy Note SHV-E160s is now ROOTED.
Try it, run some apps that needs root access.

Good find. My issue with the 80 character SMS is now fix. I just inserted the micro sim to my friends iPhone and edited the "My Phone Number" from there and walaaaaa! Handcent SMS is not working with unlimited SMS characters!
I did install the koxda ROM, its GB, but it doesn't include google.play and wasn't able to run it. (Chinese doesn't need it, they have their own markets). SMS was working perfect on it.
I later installed ICS stock and worked the sms/mms fix, + handcent and myphone number adjustment... this gives you perfect incoming SMS... but SMS sending is limited to 80 characters. I haven't been able to work network Video Calls - even though the phone menu showing the feature. Then again you've got a rooted ICS working otherwise perfect.

This is yet again another "Lack of Support" finding for a SGS2 phone, particularly the Model Phones that belong to the SHW-M250x family. I have an SHW-M250K model from Olleh KT of Korea, and due to its coding, it creates a boot-loop when trying to root with an GT-I9100 secure rooting kernel. I have tried using Odin, polled cyanogene, CF-Root, SuperOneClick; the lot seems to deal with only the International Variety coded GT-I9100.
The main differences that i have found is the language support, length of SMS messages, the use of an external antenna for a built-in TV tuner, and NFC support in the battery when paired with a USIM containing an NFC Ident. So Samsung blew up the SE Asia model with some nice features but unfortunately, not with the rooters/devs in mind.
My question is, is anyone currently working on SHW-M250x family rootkit? I'm about to go the route of starting to load Zipped ROMs to the SD card, because from reading on here, it seems like you do not need to obtain root access to be able to flash a rom, provided it is done in 3e mode from your properly formatted SD card. But if there is a root available to SHW-M250x family users, i would definitely be delighted to know.
Thanks,

Samsung Galaxy S II - SHW-M250K (Olleh) - Android ICS 4.0.3
Now, i did take a look at this thread (before i get flamed)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
But noted that again, it quoted use with the I9100 variety and even says with MOST ICS phones.
TBH, both phones look darn near the same and it is hard to tell the difference unless you pull out the antenna. I will give it a shot when i get off work. But I'm still worried about whether my USIM got fried or something. Phone has picked it up ONCE since i upgraded to ICS stock. I wasn't rooted before.

Looks like the root from CWM that you install on a SDCard worked. I will log any issues as i dink around with my phone.
I know one already, after rooting, ICS 4.0.3 Airplane Mode Quick Button when you hold down the power button is good for turning it on, not for turning it off.

I have also found a site that has the leaked jb ota update but one of the primary requirements is that I have to be on ics. My phone is still on gb. Please help 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:

I saw this thread post but I am not sure if it works, as it is from a different phone:

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.
