Yeah, I was reading that too... but when I went to download it, there was a warning not to do so on other variants of the SGS2 (ie not i9100)
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/pulser/B2G/

i'd love to boot into gecko if they release it for i777.. wouldn't want to trust an international only install

I was thinking of porting it, but I'm so backed up with 2 roms I have no time.

I'm no dev... obviously.... but would changing the setup environment to include i777 drivers be the only thing that needs changing.. for now to get it to boot?

I await the answer aswell. i want to change on, not delete it.
While you await a more educational answer...ill just inform you that is call a "splash screen", and it is 100% dictated by the kernel....so its most likely something in the zimage, redbend-ua, or moden.bim files located in the kernel flashable .zip...and thats getting into fairly complicated territory...
Sounds like you installed a i9000 bootloader.

Sounds pretty accurate to me. I had the same issue when all the ports of the 2.2.1 ROMS were being pushed out in beginning. I wonder what ROM and kernel combination he/she is using to get that?

currently Bionix 1.3.1 with stock ka7+vodoo again
I9000 splash screen appeared first after flashing Cyanogenmod7 before Vibrant support some months ago

Well I know that CM7 is a gingerbread rom technically, and if it was some months ago, that might've been before our vibrants were officially supported to run gingerbread on a non i9000 kernel. So you have those bootloaders I'm your phone from what it sounds like.
Question is, how do you get back? So you Odin back to stock or what? Hopefully someone can clarify.

CM9 Alpha [LINK/INSTRUCTIONS] [NOT NOOB FRIENDLY]

This is just a link to CM9 over in the OG GS2 Developer forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410400
THIS IS NOT NOOB FRIENDLY
IF YOU HAVE TO ASK, YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS.
MAKE A BACKUP THROUGH CWM
Download the ODIN files from the linked thread
Copy Google Apps and Face Unlock zips to SD Card
Reboot into Download mode
Flash the ODIN files (warning::: this flashes a ICS bootloader) -- Edit, try without flashing bootloader first. It's safer.
Reboot into Recovery
Flash Gapps and Face Unlock zips
Do a factory reset (yes, AFTER installing everything)
Reboot
Set up your phone
Reboot again
PLAY AROUND FOR A WHILE
Restore backup to go back to whatever you were using before
If something confuses you, this probably isn't for you and you should wait for a i777 version of the ROM to be availible (it won't take long, please wait and save all of us from DIS ROM BRICK MAH FONE threads).
Things that don't work:
Everything listed on the CM9 Alpha page +
Home Button = Back Button & Back+Search buttons do not work
Phone does not work (and flashing the RIL in the CM9 thread will not fix this == it's a kernel problem)
This isn't my work, I'm linking and providing instructions on how to flash an ALPHA ROM. The phone DOES NOT work!
I'm not affiliated in anyway with Team Hacksung or Cyanogen.
You don't have to flash the ODIN files, just use the CWM zip he provided.

You must have already had an i9100 bootloader.. the install script he provides with his cwm release specifically looks for the model number.. flashing i777 roms don't so you may not have noticed up until mnow.
Just remove the first two lines in the script and it won't check.
edit: I've always been very careful and have never flashed any bootloaders on this phone. Just to clarify I didn't have to edit the script on this one though, but i have on others in the past.

In scripting line doesn't always mean one actual line of text it's one line of code, you need to remove everything up to the first ";"

Sorry should have explained better, i was running an i9100 port at the time. That's why i didn't need to edit the build.prop. And to answer your question just remove the first two lines, you'll see once you get it up in notepad.
Pretty cool, seems to be running on my phone, cetainly just something to play with, not really too functional overall as far as any kind of Daily. Thanks for the link.

There were changes to the bootloader from froyo to gingerbread on the i9000 that the rom depends on, so one can assume there to be similar bootloader changes. It's probably best to wait for Atin to give us some proper information and/or a build for the i777 after the holidays.

I just flashed using the latest CWM package and it worked happily for me no problems at all. It is kind of interesting. I like ICS and can't wait until they get all the bugs sorted out when some new leaks happen.

[Q] Root New Bell (Canada) Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE (SGH-I757M)

Hello,
I'm trying to find if there is as of yet any way to root this device. I did find one thread but involved flashing a Russian (I think) rom. Before I had the HTC Legend, so I'm not used to Samsung phones. I've been searching since I got it yesterday. I'm wondering if anyone found a safe / confirmed way to do this yet. If I need to wait, I need to wait. I just wanted to pose the questions. I did fine a few roms and info on the Korean version of the phone, but was also unsure if it was safe to flash on this device.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
Ryan
In the same boat as you!! I don't want to flash any other roms as it can lead to other issues. As of now I hate not having root, but if it means I have to wait for a flashable. Zip, or a super one click. I can wait

I used the same rooted and it worked smoothly for me i would recommend that you use it
I'm so willing to bet that there is one of the already exisiting Samsung phones that has the exact same physical characteristics and all the ROMs are compatible. I'm so sure. I'm hoping. I'm praying. You know, CM9 and all that. =(

once rooted. anybody tried putting cyanogenmod for Galaxy S II on the I757M?
Do want ICS!!
No offense for anyone but these generic ROMs tend to run with the least amount of efficiency with Bell's Radio and Kernel. I tried at least 10 of the CM9's out there. The battery life was useless. It was more of a gimmick than anything else.
Which section of the forum is being used for this phone?
Where is this Russian Rom that everyone is talking about? Please provide links to location on the forum!
I am currently loathing Gingerbread but honestly. I will wait for the official Ice Cream Sandwich roll out.
It's being covered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649065
What were the different results of CM9? Were you building from source, or did you just download a random one and flash them in? I'm trying to port Stock ICS, and going for a much needed beer after I type this just to come sit back down and keep trying - I'm determined to have an alpha up in the next 24 hours of a CWM-flashable ICS.
I'm tearing apart every kernel I can find to make this *@#[email protected](ing phone boot from ICS.

SGH-i777 wrong kernel

Hi there
-I'm on AT&T using a SGH-i777
Right now, the Android version is 2.3.4
Kernel Version is 2.6.35.7
Not sure if all of that stuff is relevant, but hopefully it helps.
I'm very new to flashing, rooting, and all that good stuff in general, but today I attempted to follow a guide in attempt to put CWM on my phone, and then I would use CWM to flash Cyanogenmod 9 on it next. Being the complete noob that I am, I only realized too late that the Kernel provided in the guide was for the GT-i9100, and not the SGH-i777. Right now, the phone will boot up into Android, but displays the GT-i9100 and a yellow warning sign at the boot loader before launching into android. So far, I've not noticed any adverse side effects due to mis-flash, other than it being, you know, the wrong kernel. I've rebooted into CWM, and so far I believe that works, but I'm honestly not sure where to go from here.
The guide I followed was: *Can't post links as this is my first post, but it was on the cyanogenmod wiki, titled as, "Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T): Full Update Guide"*
The kernel I installed was named: "codeworkx's Kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.3"
So essentially what I'm wondering here, is where should I go from here? I was thinking I could flash a new kernel on my phone, but I think I only got lucky here and didn't brick it, so I'm hesitant to follow random guides I get from Googling without someone with experience thumbs-upping it for me. I'd still like to put Cyanogen on my phone, as the official ROM(Right terminology?) that was pushed from AT&T sucks and lags while opening messaging and the like, and unless anyone would be willing to recommend another, better ROM, then I'll probably go with it once I get this worked out.
Thanks in advanced

yes your lucky u didnt brick as far as i know that would usually do the trick....the only thing i can think of is starting from scratch. go into the development forums for our phone and there is a simple process to restore to stock and start over but someone here might know a little more but thats what i would do honestly
What makes you think it was a GT-I9100 kernel? From the name, I'm pretty sure what you flashed is the codeworkx CWM kernel for the I777. The boot screen that says GT-I9100 and has the yellow warning triangle would appear any time you flash a custom kernel using Odin or Heimdall. If you had installed a kernel which is actually for the I9100, you would not be able to use all of your capacitive buttons. You should be able to flash the firmware of your choice using recovery from your current setup.
Oh man, do I feel dumb or what?
Thanks for the quick help, I really wasn't lying when I said I was a noob at this!

anyway since u already got CWM then u can start flashing ROMs & afaik CM9 is still in nightlies or not as stable yet for our device. u can try other ICS ROMs which are more stable, like SHOstock or Semi, its your choice.
