Download your original or stock firmware and save it .Or just simply keep a copy of the file you flashed 2.3.6
Also which stock Rom to put and which is newest i mean on gingerbread not on ICS, and that rom i want to be more aware in battery saver thats my needs for now. And also if I put stock newest rom than also i need to flash the kernel or not???
Roms have kernel built in .
And whats the privilegies if I flash the kernel to??
Fail to understand are you confusing kernel with firmware or with a rooted kernel .
I help couse this Samsung G SII isn't mine, it's my cousin 's phone, so last thing. Is to brick his phone.
Honest opinion is you dont have enough knowledge to flash a phone that you do not own what are you going to do if you brick it buy him a new phone .

Im new to the whole SGS2 so needed a little help ive rooted my Galaxy and its on UK 2.3.5 stock rom my question is can i flash any rom i choose or is it like when rooting it when i had to get a kernel that matched.
The other thing is, is it worth buying Odin Mobile.
Cheers
Once you root your phone and have CWM recovery and not the stock one you can flash any ROM you choose.It has nothing to do with kernels but each ROM is based on a firmware so you should match your firmware to a ROM based on the same to start with and if you choose to stay with the same ROM then there are non-wipe ROMs that can be flashed over top without worries.Just be sure you read properly the install/flash instructions.Some ROMs need Odin to be flashed but most just need to be pasted to your internal-SD and then flashed in recovery mode.Ill leave a link below to my ROM where there is an instruction guide so you can read it to see what I mean.

It depends on how you have rooted ...... if as mentioned above you have CWM (means you have flashed a custom/insecure stock kernel) just flash a ROM with CWM Recovery like any ZIP but i'd advise you to reset the phone before that .... since you are on Stock ROM which is Odexed and all custom ROMs are deodexed you might end up in a bootloop also may i suggest CheckROM as it is simple to install and highly customizable thus i recommend this as your first flash......

Cheers to both of you, i think i will give checkrom ago as theres that many to choose from and im new to the rooted SGS2.
hi guys,
i'm new here so i don't know how everything works,so i could use some help.. i've recently rooted my phone using CF-ROOT 5.0 XWKJ1 and i'm a bit confused what to do now.. i wan't my phone to run on newest stock firmware, which one should I use ? the most recent one in intratech thread is XWLA4 (phone is XXKI4,just like mine,so it is for my phone or what does it mean? ), can I just flash it to the phone ? can i do it through CWManager app ? and i still don't entirely understand the difference between Kernel and ROM, I'd also like to try the cyanogen mod,what should I do first ? and how can I flash back original stock rom ? because cyanogen is 100mb and original rom is 8, so I'm not sure if it will restore the phone to the stock state after flashing stock rom back.. and yes, I've read the guide to GalaxyS2 and Android,but still do not understand everything..
thank you guys for your effort.

You need to start reading the guides your questions are all answered in the relevant guides .
You want CM you follow the instructions for CM you want xxx you follow the instructions .
ROM is firmware kernel is part of the firmware that interfaces OS and Hardware .
But suggestion is to wait for release of ICS .

Take time out to read the guides as it'll help you out.

Hi everyone! I've had for an year an amazing Nexus S (aw.. so google..) and now I'm a very happy owner of a GSII (so freakin' fast!). I thouhgt to keep the telephone with the original rom waiting for ICS but... when I saw the so HEAVY personalization by samsung! Sigh... it's so Gingerbread! it even seems ICS!
Now the question.. I've seen so many acronyms near the roms. What they stand for? I mean like XXLPQ, LPQ, LPE, XXLPH or stuff like that.
And what if I would put on a rom that is PURE GOOGLE? I saw the WanamLite, is it stable/fast/daily-use? Do you suggest this or other roms?
How to install cooked roms? With the NS you have to unlock the bootloader, install the cwm and you're done. Do you have to unlock the bl with the GSII? Can I install the cwm with rom manager and then I'm done?
THANKS A LOT!

That is the firmware version and/or region. Latest is ICS XXLPQ.
I suggest you Checkrom v6 (soon ICS!) is the most stable popular and stable rom around.
Thanks, but how? xD
As I said I don't have idea. Any bootloader to unlock? Just download rom manager and install the cwm?
Start with the faqs guides and other stuff all sticked at the top of the page .

galaxy phones can be tricky if you came from a nexus. Basically you have to read the FAQs, but in terms of flashing stuff the biggest difference is that the recovery and kernel are linked. You can't flash a separate recovery, and that's why you can't use clockworkmod.
There is no bootloader unlock thingy also. But you'll need Odin instead.
Keeps these points on mind and then read the FAQs again. And good luck!

Check out galaxys2root.com. It has detailed video tutorials on everything you need.
I bought my GS2 only 5 days ago and already went through installing Resurection remix 9.4, 9.6 and 9.7 and loving it
I've just installed the Omega V5.0 ICS ROM and its awesome, and is based off the XXLPQ firmware
Method,
I started from a 2.3.5 firmware, rooted it using a cf-root-sgs2_xx_oxa_ki3-v4.1-cwm4.zip and odin.
I copied the Omega zip rom to my sd card, rebooted into clock work recovery (the chainfire kernel installed clockwork automatically)
Followed the instructions for doing the thee wipes on the Omega home page.
and did the install from the sd card.
Hope that helps some...
Obivously every custom rom has its own instructions.

Your obviously new at this since you took a legit picture of your screen instead of a screen shot. BEFORE you go flashing **** (yeah its called flashing not burning) please do your self a favor and read a prepared forum for your issue :laugh:
Start with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134290
weell first of all, search for the forum rules. you don't wanna get buried your self with lacive comments about your post. thats a nice way to start! you need to know that you'll have a looooot of things to read! so don't be a lazy a** and read and use the search button! in this forum you'll find almost everything that u'll need to flash your rom. you can start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648351 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473577
there are a few thing that u must know before getting started:
first: as long as it is a rom/kernel prepared for gt-I9100 (not I9100G) you can flash any kernel or rom.
second thing you must know, is that there are 2 diferents roms and kernels:
-Sammy
-AOKP/AOSP
-Sammy roms/kernels are the one based in samsung releases. everytime you have a sammy rom and you want to change it kernel, you must flash a sammy kernel
-AOSP/AOKP roms/kernels are one based in AOSP or AOKP releases (two teams that are dedicated to create roms as far as possible from samsung releases, so they wont have samsungs specials apps and so...) the kernels must be for aosp or aokp.
There are a few kernels that are compatibles with both roms like SIYAH kernel for example.
as long it is a kernel for their respective rom base(samy or aokp/aosp) you can flash any kernel that you want. try them, they are all different in terms of battery life and hardware managment. (be aware that sammy's STOCK kernels released from july to forrward they are dangerous and can brick your phone). what do i mean by stock? are the one that are just exactly as they were released.no modification in it by any dev. the ones that were modificated by any dev they are probably safe...check out before flashing anyway.
well..knowing this bases now you can start by rooting your phone.
rooting your phone allows you to get full control of your phone. and access to many thing that you could not access if your phone is unrooted.
first of all u'll need ODIN. Odin is a desktop software for flashing your device.
here you'll find some thing about what's ODIN and what brings a rooted kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134290
here you can have the files and the guideing necessary to root your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

Omega is a custom ROM.If you want a stock ROM you will need to flash one via Odin so let us know where your from.If you want you can update Omega instead.
Custom ROMs give you more options and more mods/themes etc. than stock ROMs also.

im just a little mad about Omega's rom speed its annoying
as i saw its abut 800 mg size and its too much i think and may be thats because it is slow
i just find a link "Guide to Install HyperLight ROM on Samsung Galaxy S3 l9300" its just 187.09 mg
whats your idea guys?
im a lil confused
please help me out
AOSP based ROMs take much less space than Samsung based ones, has nothing to do with speed
