Hi Guys. I'm new to Galaxy S2 forum. Just got the phone today. So, what do I have to do? I have a few questions. Pls help me. Thanks!!
1. How do I root the S2?
2. Do I have to flash a new recovery, such as clockworkmod?
3. Is installing a ROM the same way as installing one on galaxy ace(my phone for today, last day)?
If you have other tips to tell me, please let me know!! Thanks and really appreciate your help!!

Stickies here.
First you need to now which kernel do you have, look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399, choose kernel to match with yours, make sure usb debugging is on, extract kernel zip file, start odin, reboot you phone in download mode, connect phone, put kernel zip file in pda section, click start. After reboot you`ll have same rom but rooted and with cwm recovery. Now you can flash what rom you want

SINGLE most important thing you need to do is get off your lazy butt and do some reading, if you aren't willing to spend several several hours of reading BEFORE flashing anything or trying any modification to your phone, then you deserve the flamings that are coming your way, or better yet, you need to go buy you a little feature phone that you can't do anything to.
I think people should be given capacity tests before they are allowed to own a smartphone

I would prefer Slim ICS (AOSP) with siyah kernel beta5, or just wait for the new version of Sensation ROM from Crysis21, as there aren't any good Samsung based ROMs.

I've done a bunch of searching but I can NEVER find a solid answer for my question.
First of all, I have a Samsung Galaxy ace S5830D, as the title says.
My provider is Koodo and I got the phone through 'em.
Basically, all the roms I find are for the Samsung Galaxy ace S5830 (no D). Whenever I search to see if this matters, it seems to with people screwing up their phone trying to use roms for the S5830.
I also can't seem to find any roms specifically for the S5830D.
I have the phone rooted, that was simple enough.
So my question is, will a rom for the S5830 work with my S5830D?
If not, could someone point me to where I COULD find roms for it? because I can't seem to find any.
This is my first phone so I know next to nothing about all this aside from what i've picked up doing searches.
Look into your phone build.prop, if its stated codename as cooper u can flash any custom rom for generic ace. only different is maybe modem, as u need to flash modem only for your region.
If its listed codename as cooperve, u are out of luck because it got different hardware than generic ace.
Hmm, thanks.
I'm looking at my build.prop but i'm not seeing either codename that you said...I think.
ro.build.version.codename=REL
is the only line I see mentioning a codename.
Though I saw "cooper" in this line
ro.build.buildtag=jenkins-
HUDSON_USA_GSM_GB_COOPER-TLS-111
dunno if the first line was relevant, or if that means anything...
Sorry, complete noob at this.
if u see cooper, its the same with generic galaxy ace then. if u see cooperve then its another ace with different hardware than the generic ace.
and i'm sure the s5830d that u got is the same with generic s5830 thus u can flash any custom rom from the generic ace.

Yeeeah apparently not the same as a generic S5830.
After flashing a S5830 rom, my phone would boot, show the samsung logo, then quickly fade to a white screen.
I restored using a backup, and now my phone simply hangs on the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D logo screen, and does nothing else.
Well then. I guess my question becomes...
how do I fix my phone? lol
Restoring the backup doesn't do much.
EDIT:
Used Odin with Cooper_v1.0.ops and a .tar.md5 to flash it back to stock/base/whatever.
Works now...neeever trying to flash to a rom again. I'll stick to keeping it rooted and that's it...
Anyone know how to flash it using Ubuntu and download mode?

Hello !
There are others of us in that same situation, would be great if you'd post that S5830D "ODIN" file (...tar.md5) !
I'd like some input on whether this is confirmed a different hardware model or if the OP just had a bad flash, missed step, etc.
I've got a S5830D model successfully rooted, carrier unlocked, with CWM installed but leery of going any further after seeing this.
Any input is appreciated

Most important. You need that specific version of Odin and this ops in case of problem:

Those link wont be live forever. That phone is not very popular so keep a copy on you pc, dropbox, etc...

To root this is working perfectly :
SuperOneClick 2.3.3 - direct link
Then you absolutly need to replace your recovery 3E. that recovery is the reason why everything you flash abort. use this :

First, you need to know what is your objective, what you want.
The best thing will probably be to limit yourself to root only. SuperOneClick will do the job, I use that exact same version to root my sgs and the sga of my girlfriend so it should work fine for you to. There a lot of website that explain step by step how to use it. Not that "one click" is hard. But you need all driver on your pc.
CWM is a custom recovery. It's good to have if you want to be able to flash custom rom or kernel because the stock recovery 3E will always give error and no results. It's why you need Odin to replace it. I used the cwm I link for the sga and it was pretty straight forward. But use it on a gt-S5830 ONLY. I see that you also have a GT-S5360, don't use that recovery on this. Usually the recovery is include in kernel, on sgs each kernel have its own custom recovery and most of them are provided in zip(to flash from recovery) or tar(to flash from odin), which make everything very simple. But I didn't see equivalent on sga yet (but I am new to the ace so that doesn't mean that it's not the same)
I will suggest you to start by only root your device, that gives you the opportunity to use many really cool applications. Get yourself familiar with a good backup software. Then after few weeks /months if you feel comfortable you can go further.
Replacing recovery, kernel and rom can be dangerous. You better be sure to know in which boat you go into.

ok, I think you dont need to flash cwm, just find a pc where you can run superoneclick and your phone should be root. Its all you need for link2sd to work.
You cannot root directly from the recovery 3E, that recovery have a weird signature check that give error on any signed zip I tried (at least its what I have experiment with it). Its why you actually need to do at least 1 step from a pc. But you dont actually need to replace the recovery for what you want, just root it with superoneclick or another method.
I dont have a lot of experience myself with the Ace, so maybe there some other method out there but I dont know them. And my i9000 had the same recovery when I had it and it give my a lot of trouble. superoneclick and a woking odin open all the door without trouble...

I don’t remember for sure. But I can tell you that the rom I currently using have Spanish in the language list:
[Rom][Official CM7 based]Nitrogen [Android UnChained][PSN FireKernel MemMod V3]
This rom have many requirement regarding sd-card partitioning and I would not necessarily recommend it if you not willing to be in a try/fail situation. But I have to say that it’s my favorite over all rom I tried on the Ace.
Also, my opinion had change a little bit since the moment I write this post.
I write what it is bellow this red portion before and it does not fit with my previous statement.
The impression I have that my phone is a lemon is maybe a sign that there some small incompatibility between S5830 and S5830D.
Also the comment about data backup is probably not relevant if it is a “friend” phone and not yours.
The Ace is the phone of my girlfriend and even after all those month it’s still me that using it because I did not find a satisfactory solution.
So this being said, feel free to build your own opinion, experiment some rom or keep your phone like it his stock
I did not find a single rom (not even stock or stock based) that don’t bug completely after some time on the Ace. My Ace is a lemon, it needs factory reset or re-installation once in a while... The Nitrogen rom is the one that work the best on MY phone.
One thing I would add to my previous post is: Don’t rely on CWM as a backup solution. Especially if you are changing of rom. Use a software to backup your app, data, sms, call, etc… Titanium Backup Pro is legendary and it’s working perfectly but there are many other alternative.
Guys, I tired to flash the s3 look and feel rom from the galasy s2 android development theard on my s2 and now it wont swtich on. It will boot in download mode but no recovery. when I connect it to power, the battery icon only comes on once and then it switches off. Sometimes the screen starts flashing.
Could someone kindly advise how can I get around this?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
If the phone boots only into download mode, that's still a good sign. Just use the Odin tool and flash the new ROM. I know that doesn't help but need to stay calm and find the proper images.

You've obviously flashed it incorrectly or onto a incompatible rom or device variant. Next time read before flashing.
thanks guys,
do I flash a new kernel using odin? if yes, which one?
Thanks again.
Any one you want. Download a stock ICS or GB ROM from sammobile.com, and flash through Odin. Lucky you didn't brick your device, READ TWICE, FLASH ONCE.
Chris.
You should also confirm what model phone you have. Look on the label under the battery. What does it say for model?
flashing the stock firmware is the best option .. that solved my problem in the past .
flash the stock rom using odin . That is the best way to revive a bricked phone .

yeah you can.. what's great about this S2 is that you can basically match up almost anything as long as it is meant for that OS firmware stuffs don't matter unlike that of the Galaxy S1
Hello there guys, I just rooted my Galaxy S2, after downloading Odin3, insecure kernel JPKJ2, as I also used Samsung quick root, everything seems ok, I didnt brick my phone, but the only prob is that I couldnt find CWM after the phone rebooted, the only app I found was SuperSU, did I skip something while rooting ? can you guys please suggest how I can fix this issue ?
Thank You.

Probably yes!
Please post your Rom details.
I used a similar method to root my sgs2 for the first time a long time ago...anyway i had the same problem, what happened was that it only rooted the phone for me and for cwm i had to flash cwm 4(latest at the time) as a .tar file so maybe that will fix it...try it!

Hey bud, If you want to check if you are properly rooted or not try updating script in su or download a root only app like titanium backup & run it. If it comes up with a permission request then all good you're rooted. As for the cwm app, many people including myself avoid it like the plague as it can have incompatibility problems with "cwm recovery" which is different to the "cwm app". If you must have it you can download from the playstore, but make sure you flash zips through recovery not the app.
CWM is part of the kernel, so if you want it you must flash such one like CF-Root or Siyah.

Sorry ... i mean the "original stock kernel (not rom)" ! Where can i find this for a german Galaxy SII (IML74K.XWLPI) ?
firemouz said:
Thank you for the link.
I found "I9100XWLPI_I9100DBTLP6_DBT.zip" and hope this is the right one for my smartphone. I am not sure what the difference between "Germany-MBC" and "Germany-DBT" is...
Can anyone confirm me that i have the right one ?

The DBT one is for the carrier Deutsche Bundespost Telekom. I don't know the other one, but yes, that is the correct one!
Thank you.
And where can i a "original stock kernel" for a german Galaxy SII (IML74K.XWLPI) ?
Thanks for ur helpful replies, I was able to download CWM and reflash it using Odin, however when I tried installing new ROMs using CWM recovery mode, the phone wouldnt start, although that when I finish installing the .zip file everything seems to be done correctly, but my phone just wouldnt launch, when I turn it on I get the Samsung GT-i9100 and the yellow ( ! ) mark cause I didnt flash a secure kernel yet, then its gets stuck on the resurrection remix loading phase
Any inputs guys ? regarding I was able to restore the stock rom and launch the phone regularly, but now I can not :crying:
Can you get to recovery or download mode?
You can find at http://androidfirmwares.net/
U can check root by root checker app at play store.
