I upgraded my sgs2 from unnamed 2.2.1 to SHOStock 2.1 and I was wondering how I could go back to UnNamed 2.2.1? I tried looking around, but I couldn't find a definite answer. Should I just boot into recovery and flash the unnamed zip? Or what should I do?
Thanks
Just do a full wipe and flash whatever ROM you want. I don't think it matters if you're coming from ICS.

that's right, but make sure the modem flashes as well.
You could just restore the nandroid backup, which you saved right before you flashed...

All modems that work with this device are interoperable. I'm still on UCKH7 with ICS.
Just restore your nandroid, that's all.

Like the others said, if you don't have a nandroid backup, just do a full wipe & flash unnamed. I'm pretty sure it will flash the modem that unnamed comes with, but you wouldn't have to worry about modems anyway.
further to add I think unNamed comes with KH6

Ok. So here's the deal. I downloaded and installed a ROM that gave me an ICS look a like. I flashed the ROM and when i booted up, i was greeted with a message telling me my status bar wasnt functioning. I'm not looking to fix this, i'm looking to get my old stuff back. I have everything i had backed up in Titanium backup and on my external SD card. I went to restore and it just started loading my old stuff back onto the phone with the theme still there. I tried a factory reset, but it's still there... I want this corruptive theme gone. It's this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382595
If anyone can help me, please do. This is awful. Also, i tried using Nandroid in Rom Manager, but it was telling me it was missing signatures of sorts or something. I'm not sure exactly. How do i get my old stuff back?! Please help!
Too easy...
Anyways, if all you did was flash what you linked without have Shostock Rom installed then you did wrong.
What Rom are you currently running?

Personally I would flash ShoStock (if you want that theme and a better rom) OR try flashing UCCK6 on top of what you have.
Themes you find in that section are mostly meant for custom Roms, not official AT&T.

First definition answers the op question...http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=op
And as LilChris already said you need to do a lot more reading, take the time to understand what your doing before flashing things. The theme is not meant for stock.
As for the list of roms....you download the one you want, if the theme is your main concern then download ShoStock. If not, then pick one you like.

I would suggest installing ShoStock since its a decent ROM based on stock. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache before flashing. It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353513

Next time you have a working phone, do a nandroid backup. Then if you screw things up but can still get to recovery, you can always go back to your happy place.

Just try it and report back.
If you get bootloops, you may have to to a factory reset in recovery mode (press Volume UP + Home + Power until recovery menu appears).
Good luck !

Of course there is Stock ICS but not official one. The latest one that is released for i9100 is XXLPJ ICS 4.0.3 firmware.
Now my doubt is can we just flash it directly over CM9?
Heard from one of my friend that in 'samsung galaxy s' we cannot simply restore CM7 backup over CM9. Firsly we have to flash CM7 over CM9 and then we have to restore the CM7 backup.
For S2, downgrading to GB from CM7 is fine. But what about from CM9? Can we directly flash ICS or do we have to come to GB first and then upgrade to ICS?
Actually I would have flashed it yesterday itself but am just waiting for some replies. Till today night I am gonna wait and then I will flash it and reply here.
Just get the phone to download mode and flash with Odin. Yes it can be done
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I agree. I don't think there would be a problem flashing it. Just do a "full wipe" before.
Flashed the latest ICS (XXLPJ 4.0.3) and it is working fine. Thank you guys!

Yeah sorry. Just traded in that phone for the gs2. Thanks for the info.
I have an ATT I777 on the UCKK6 base. Id like to root it. Its obviously still running GB and that base I listed. I know they sometime lock stuff down further with different update. So the question is, would there be any issue with updating the phone to ICS through KIES and then rooting? Or should I root it before? If I root it before will I lose root if I try to update it then, I would think so at a minimum.
does anyone know the most current base, or what it would be that I came out with after the KIES update?

No. This phone is definitely *not* unbrickable if, by unbrickable you mean not capable of being bricked. If you mean can it be brought back from a brick, then it depends on the type of brick we're talking. If you're talking the hard brick caused by the eMMC bug, then no. You won't be bringing it back from the dead.

No need really, I'm so used to running ASOP like ROMS on my other phones I probably wouldn't like it anyway. I was mostly just curious as it seems that with the base I'm currently on rooting is a little more involved. I was also wondering if Sammy had maybe patched something in the new build.

Here is what I would do if I were you. When I rooted mine I was on KH7 so I used DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit then installed Mobile Odin to flash Entropy512's DD 3-7 GB kernel to get CWM then flashed a custom ICS ROM. I went back to look over creepys guide "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter" I have read it 100 times I just want to make I got you the best info I could.... Give a BIG shout out to creepyncrawly for putting that guide out!!! Make sure you read that guide lots of great info... I did see a KK6 stock rooted package on here 1a. just read up see what is best then just follow the steps..... If you have any more questions just post them in this thread.
1. If you flash the 2c. "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" link

1a. Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
2. Then install Mobile Odin link (You will need this to flash Entropy512 GB kernel just extract the zImage from the zip file and load it in the kernel slot in Mobile Odin)

3. Then flash Entropy512 GB kernel to get CWM link

After reading over lots and lots of threads, I finally got up the courage to root my phone.
I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181
I flashed the "Kernel + Modem + Cache + Rooted UCLE5 System Package" using Odin, downloaded Mobile Odin, and then flashed the safe Siyah 4.3.3 kernel w/o mic swap to avoid bricking due to the eMMc bug. Everything seems to be working fine. I have Superuser, Mobile Odin, and CWM Recovery.
My question is what are my ROM choices and how do I go about installing them?
I'f I'm reading the instructions correctly in the thread with the rooting instructions, I only have the three options for kernels in that thread and I MUST use a w/o mic swap version.
On the Siyah thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228, the only ROMs listed that work with w/o mic swap Siyah are Criskelo and UCLD3. Are these my only choices for ROM?
Are these the proper files for Criskelo?
Criskelo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500891&highlight=criskelo
I can't seem to find the files for UCLD3.
To be clear, I was coming from a stock i777 with stock ICS and UCLE5. I'm now running 4.0.3, I777UCLE5, 3.1.0-rc8-Siyah-v4.3.3-nomswap ([email protected]).
Thanks for any help. I've searched and read a ton, but I just can't make sense of it all.

it means that if you use an ALTERNATE kernel, which a lot of people like to do, then you must abide by those guidelines. all roms come packaged with a 'recommended' kernel....just flash one and you will see.

Would going to SHOStock3 require a wipe? I understand that upgrading to new versions of an existing ROM usually does not, but since this is a different ROM it seems like it would require the full wipe.
What is the easiest way to retain as many of my settings, etc... as possible when doing full wipes? I have Titanium Backup already. Is there another program that will help me retain more?

Once you get accustomed to it, flashing with a full wipe isn't too bad. Make a nandroid backup in case you decide to go back. And I would recommend you buy the full version of titanium back up to get the batch features, and support the developer. It is probably the most important app for those that flash regularly.
I can fully wipe and flash and have everything back up and running the exact same way it was in like 10 minutes. But I like the chance to start fresh
