[Q]Installing a new ROM - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm kind of new to rooting and I have some questions.
Right now I'm using cyanogenmod 7.1 and now I want to install MIUI rom,
do I have to remove things first to install it or can I install with odin right away?
I have searched evereywhere but I couldnt find an answer.

[Q] Newbie on flashing a rom

Hi everybody!
A few days ago, i rooted and installed CWMace 4.0.0.9 on my phone. Now, i want to flash a ROM, but i'm confused. These are my questions:
1) I thought about installing a stock rom of this website but i don't know what steps to take :S
2) CyanogenMod will come out officially for SGA?
3) If second question is "no", i thought on install TheMythICS, but in this moment is a beta version. :s
Thanks in advance

Going back to official firmware?

Hello.
I have had a GS3 for a few months now and a few weeks ago my friend showed me how to install the polish jellybean update for my phone (I don't have a polish gs3 but he said it was safe to do ) and it was pretty easy.
I have decided to use a custom rom now. I have already rooted my phone but before I install a custom rom I was wondering how easy it is to go back to the polish version that I have downloaded if I don't like it.
Thanks and hopefully this is the right part of the forum to post this in.

Thank you. If I want to try out different custom roms do I have to go back to official firmware first or can I just install a custom rom over another custom rom?
Hi,
You can flash a custom rom without going back to the "original version" (stock rom that came installed in your GS3) - Just keep in mind that you must do a full wipe in your device (data/cache and dalvik).
You just need to flash the CWM via odin and then flash the custom rom via CWM.
You just need to follow this instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238)
And than follow the instructions of your favorite custom rom to install it.
Cheers

OK, but he doesn't need to go back to the stock rom before flash another custom rom. To try another custom roms he only needs to do the wipes and follow the instructions of the custom rom to install it.
If I want to try out different custom roms do I have to go back to official firmware first or can I just install a custom rom over another custom rom

but CWM is still on the phone, so its not like 'original'. Isn't it?

GB to ICS/JB

Hi everyone!!
I bought a S2. Installed villain Rom 3.0 with provided kernel. Now I want to install a custom ICS/JB rom.I searched on youtube and other XDA threads and found that I need to upgrade the bootloaders and other stuff and need to install ics through ODIN. Is that correct? or I should just download a custom ICS/JB and install it thru CWM as normal?
Yes, just install like normal. Or you can upgrade boot loader, phone, pda, csc. So do what you want.
Send form Galaxy S2. But I don't have it :-\

I suggest you leave the bootloader as it is if you dont know what you are doing
Just pick a rom and follow the install instructions.

[Q] Galaxy s2 Cyanogenmod installer help!

Hi I'm getting a Samsung Galaxy S2 this week and I'm looking forward to installing Cyanogenmod using their installer. But I want to know whether the Cyanogenmod installer will install the latest CM11 ROM on the Galaxy S2 or do I have to use ODIN and flash CM11 manually?
I want to do it the most safest way as possible without bricking my phone, I would appreciate your help, Thank you
Also the CM website says latest version of CM installer for S2 is CM10.2? Does that mean I can't get CM11? Thank you.

Cm11 installer will install one of the stable snapshots of cm11 (last time I used it, it installed the m10 snapshot). I'm not sure if they changed it to install the m12 snapshot (latest) but if you really want the most recent snapshot build, you should use cwm. The cm website for the installer hasn't been updated for a while (someone should lodge a ticket or complaint). As long as you follow guides step by step, you should be fine.
Odin is not the official way to flash cm11 as cyanogenmod use zip files which are designed for custom recoveries such as clockwork mod (cwm).
Thank you very much for your reply I wouldn't mind installing through CM installer if it at least gives me the latest stable version. However I might try to manually flash it. Can you give me a link to the best guide available to flash CM on i9100? If its possible

Hey one more question is it possible for me to let the CM installer do everything by itself like rooting, installing custom recovery on the S2 and then later can I install the latest CM rom by myself? If you know what I mean

Yes of course (but only manually via custom recovery).
