[Q] Where can i find ROMS for the I9100G? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Are there any custom ROMS for the i9100G?
Does the I900G already has an android 4.0 update?

You've been around for a while... Please adhere to forum rule #1, and search before posting. There are currently a limited number of GT-I9100G ROMs. But they are out there, search for them.
I9100G and I9100 firmwares, ROMs, and kernels are NOT compatible with each other, due to SoC/chipset differences. If you have an I9100G, do NOT flash an I9100 firmware, ROM, or kernel, unless you want a broken phone.
And no, ICS (Android 4.0) is NOT out yet for the I9100G.

lol...go join i9100G fb group XD gt few custom rom

There is an i9100G development forum you probably passed on the way to this forum...

Chinese ICS for I9100G
Yes if you search the thread for Chinese ICS for I9100G there's a link their for downloading Chinese ICS ROM.
Unlucky for me though I could not get a complete download. Could be my internet connection.
Any body know where I can download I9100G_4.0.3_rom_ZCLP5_ICS from another link? I need help.

There is an entire section of the forum dedicated to i9100G development. There are a number of threads both for custom ROMs and stock.

How to flash Chinese I9100G ??

Hi,
I am sorry for the newbie question.
I just bought a Galaxy S2 GT-9100G here in China.
Only after buying did I realise it is a 'G' model. damn.
anyway - I would like to 'reformat' the device, and place an Israeli ROM on it.
I hope I am using the correct terms.
The reason for this - is that the chinese version comes without Android Market,
and other stuff (and the Israeli one does).
1. Do I need to root the device first before I can change the ROM ?
2. If so - I have seen in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18099806
that flashing the kernel is the only way to root the device.
I have flashed my brother's Galaxy S2 (I9100) a month ago, using the steps shown here:
http://samsunggalaxys2review.org/root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-heres-how/
(used OdinDownloader and SuperOneClick). Do I do the same with this device ?
Which file do I supply to Odin ??
3. Is there anyway to flash the Israeli ROM on this device ?
or it won't work, cause Israeli ROM is only for I9100 and my device is I9100G ?
If not - what can I do in order to flash a new ROM with built-in Android Market ?
Thanks to everyone who can help !!!
If u flash the new rom to your phone, it no need to root!
I own a I9100T, I flash it to I9100, it work fine, so I think u can flash it to an Israeli ROM.
Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192575
In general, be careful about flashing the China phones. It seems they went out of their way to make sure those phones comply with China's government restrictions.
i9100G got KH4 and KI1 rom, u need to donload insecure kernel to root them

So, ghmail, are you saying you have managed to do so yourself ?
Change the ROM on an I9100G to any ROM you want ?
On the topic - how can I backup everything on my device ?
I mean - the bootloader, the ROM and all the other stuff I might mess up if I brick my phone ...
Please remember..u cant flash any I9100 custom rom because its diff between I9100 and I9100G..If u flash it the phone will be semi bricked and u need to flash back to the ori rom of I9100G KH4 or KI1..
China GT-19100G-ZCLC2
Hi People, I am a total novice here. I have been reading your forms for few weeks now, since i Bought this SGS II-I9100G in China [Big Mistake ?? :-( ]
This is my phone :
Model - GT-19100G
Android - V 2.3.6
Baseband - 19100GZCLC2
Kernel - 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Firmware : PDA:LC2 / Phone:LC2 / CSC:LC2 (CHN)
I read thro creezalird pdf user guide and as guessed DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT' dint work with both methods on my phone.
I just want to root the phone so I can install few useful apps, no fancy stuff like flasing or custom rom etc. As you know even google play is blocked. Can someone point me to right link/guide me to do it.
I did read many articles (too many of your forum's) and probably why Im now totally confused. Reason is I do not see anything pointing to ZCLC2. Maybe I am not looking hard enough.
I got it done using superatom's kernel. Now all sw works on chinese phone.

Why is there two android development forums?
Because its the rules and as you have read the rules first ???

[Q] custom kernels for galaxy s3

hi all,
i have recently rooted my device and want to install a custom kernel.
the problem is that I am running the latest firmware for the galaxy s3 in the U.K (I9000XXELLA)(android 4.1.2). and because of this I cant find out what custom kernels are compatible and which aren't. so it would be a great help if you could help me by...
1. is the ninphetamin3 kernel compatible with my firmware
2. what other kernels are there that are compatible which allows you to over clock the CPU of your device
thanks in advance for any answers and suggestions you may post and looking forward to hearing from you .

Uhm, what? I don't see that problem at all. You have an I9300? All the kernels from this forum section are compatible. Some of them are for samsung-based ROMs like yours, some for CM-based. It says it in the first post.
thanks but what i meant was what kernels are compatible with my firmware because some are only for ICS and I want to know what kernels are compatible on my firmware and I am not sure if the ninphetamin3 kernel is compatible with jelly bean.
All current kernels are compatible with JB AFAIK. Nimphetamine is outdated and doesn't support JB.
Siyah or Perseus would be real good bets...

[Q] Moving from i9100 to i9100G (chinese)..common doubts

HI guys,
Due to an undesired dead of my previous i9100, i'm probably switching to a i9100G, which I'll get borrowed from a friend for a few months. It's 100% the chinese model.
After a bit of checking, I've found that it's not an Exynos model. Does this mean i9100G gets official full CM10.1 support? TI chipsets have all the source available, right?
If I want to install ROMs, any CWM ROM for i9100G will work, right? The ones I can't flash will be official samsung roms for i9100G international, right?
Thank you!

YES, its TI-Omap processor on that I9100G for u.And all Custom rom's meant for I9100G will wrk on it
This is great news! I couldn't find the official thread for CM10.1 for the i9100g, could you point it for me? I'm mostly interested in a JB vanilla experience, maybe with a modification to allow the camera to store pics in the SD and also allow mass storage, but that would be it. Oh, and stability...I had so many crashes with my i9100 on CM10.1, and camera/3D issues. Do you have any recommendation?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: Huh, nevermind, now I found the CM10.1 thread. Still, any good vanilla recommendation besides CM10.1?
EDIT2: Another question better to ask to wiser people: I'm going to receive this 9100g running android stock 2.3.x chinese version, how could I change to international JB bootloader?

Thanks for the info! HOwever my concern isn't about finding an international JB ROM. I think there needs to be some kind of previous flash in order to make it work on a 9100G chinese version. Is this correct?

Not sure, that's my concern. I believe you can't just odin your way to international stock JB from a chinese stock ROM, you'll need a way to turn your 9100G international (I guess it's related with some kind of tag string in the bootloader or similar).

[Q] Only S2 (Intl.)-ROMs on the S2 (Intl.)?

Hey guys
I am using this ROM on my S2 (Intl.) and yeah it has some bugs, but thats okay, but today i saw in the CM download section that there is CM11 available for the S2, butonly for the T-Mobile version.
So my question is, whether I can flash the T-Mobile version or if that would brick my phone. And if I can't, can I flash ROMs from the Note 2 for example? I have one S2 in use and one only for testing ROMs, so i could copy a stable S2 ROM on my sd and then copy the CM11 T-Mobile, too. Then I'll flash the T-Mobile ROM and if that wouldn't work i can boot in recovery, clear all data and flash the stable version? Or is thisimpossible and I am just a silly dude?
thanks for answering
Merry Christmas!
Do not flash non-I9100 firmware on the I9100, yes, there's a fair chance you'll brick your phone if you do.
I suggest you learn 'the basics' given your question (read the guides/tutorials stickied in the General section for starters), 'messing' with your phone in any way (particularly if it involves flashing, even with CWM) is risky without knowing them.
no no I know the basics including that you should not flash not appropriate firmwares, it was just a question, but okay, I understood, so I#ll keep waiting until an official version of CM11 for the normal S2 will be uploaded

Exactly. I know it seems a madness that the Galaxy S2 has not yet been updated (it is enough to think that the Galaxy S already has the CM11), but more of install the CM11 not journal cannot we do.
P. S: Merry Christmas
