Hello guys,
I'm a new "rooter" and my English isn't really good. I think it's because I'm from Germany, not from the US or the UK^^. Atleast it isn't as good as I could find the answer to my question (I bet this sentence is wrong xD).
My problem is, that I want to use the Pure ICS Custom ROM from Spike. Until now, I only get Version 4.0 running on my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 for which you need XXLP1/XXLP2. I want to run PURE ICS v7.2 oder v7.3. For v7.2 I need to get the Stock ROM of XWLP4 and for v7.3 I need to get the XWLP8 running. I tried many installation guides, but I just can't get those Stock ROMs running.
What are the requieremts to get XWLP4, XWLP7, XWLP8 (stock) running?
Thank you!
No requirements except to have a i9100 not G model and to follow the instructions .

I dont have the G model.
So that mean, i can flash every firmware I want? And the carrer doesn't matter?
Because i have problems installing XXLPQ, LP4 and XWLP7 etc. I always get a bootloop and theres no way to get into recovery mode. I just get the firmwares XXLP1 and XXLP2 running. the XXLP1/2 ROMs are 4 parts (PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC) and the other i tried are only 1 part, the DPA part. is this the problem?
There is an LP7 rom which is euro wide - just means you cant use KIES to update and you lose your carriers branded material.
I loaded the LP7 onto my UK phone and it worked perfectly - just remember to wipe your data first - this could be the problem of the bootloops.
There is also the cfkernal link to get root and cwm on your phone.
Good luck in your search for the correct answer.

I have literally switched between 14-15 Roms,the one stood out for me is Resurection rom builds,great work by the Dev and it really is the best ICS experience,so go ahead flash the latest version it's stable and has the best battery flow,im using v1.4 though =D

I upgraded my firmware today on my UK T-Mobile SGS2 today, but lost the root I had in the process. I was previously having a really annoying 'lag' that would make the whole phone jerky and unresponsive and that seems to have cleared up after this upgrade. I'm really keen to do the rooting properly this time... as I'm guessing it was a problem of incompatability that cuased the jerkyness problems I was experiencing before.
From the Chainfire rooting thread I see that there isn't a rooted kernel that is for KG2 and Android 2.3.3
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip - Is for 2.3.4
These files aren't labeled as being 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 - does anoyone know:
CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.zip
If you were in my position, what would you root with?
My current phone details are:
Modellnummer:
GT-I9100
Android-Version:
2.3.3
Basisbandversion:
I9100BOKG1
Kernel-Version:
2.6.35.7-I9100BOKG2-CL255512

If you are going to root then flash a custom Rom, then I wouldn't worry as the Rom will be based on 2.3.4 probably.
If you want to stay stock, then you could follow my route, CF-Root then flash VillainRom which is based on 2.3.4 and as close to stock as possible with a few tweaks to improve things such as battery life.
Hope this helps
Ideally I'l like to be able to get future official updates through Keis - and I would lose that if I switched to Villain rom right?
I also wondering if I'm going to flash a custom ROM, might I as well flash a more recent Samsung one like KH3? Looking at Villainrom it says there are problems with the stock browser and stock SMS.
Piecing together info from other threads I saw that someone said that you can flash a rooted kernel and then flash back your original unrooted kernel and it will stay rooted. Is this true? If so, perhaps I could flash a rooted kernel (either a 2.3.4 or a 2.3.3 for KG1 or KG3 (close to my rom), and then flash back my current KG2. Thing is, how do I get my current KG2 kernel off the device before I overwrite it with a rooted variant.
Sorry if my questions are a bit basic or confused. I'm still trying to get to grips with all this. Thanks for the patience!
1. Yes you will lose updates through Keis but the custom Roms are based on the most up to date anyway.
2. Don't think you can restore your kernel and keep root afaik busybox etc are baked into the kernel
3. Yes there is a lag problem, it is to do with odexing/deodexing (don't ask me) but there is a flashable fix if you search the thread. Villain Tweaks app should help with the SMS I think.
4. Find your firmware/kernel on Intratechs thread and download it and keep it safe. When you root you will replace the current kernel. If you need to go back then you can flash the original through odin.
Well, since it seems going with a full flash is the only way of rooting with my current officical setup, I'm gonna try KH3 and see how it goes. I'm quite relctant to get into custom romming because I don't normally have the time to deal with the inevitable problems (so I hear), but I do need to be rooted. Wish me luck! and thanks for your help.

Plus it can be many months later on Kies .

For Android OS, we call firmwares ROMs.
Maybe you should try to install a custom ROM that fits you best, and with more features.
First you have to root your phone using these links from my sig:
Follow the instructions from Intratech's post, and use the insecure kernel from the InsecureXWKDD link
XWKDD Insecure & Odin3: http://tinyurl.com/InsecureXWKDD
Then choose a ROM from this selection of ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253665
I recommend MIUI, Criskelo ROM, Lite'ning ROM, CheckROM or SensatioN ROM.

Hi Guys
first things first - i am really new to android development so apologies if i am not making any sense...
Device
I have a Samsung Galaxy 2 in the UK on o2
background
I wanted to play with new roms so i rooted the phone and downloaded clockwork rom manager, but could never get it to work, it would always come up with an error screen when i tried to flash a rom using it or ender recovery mode using it.
i used Odin and that works, so after a brief, accidental stint on a US At&T rom that (obviously) didnt work i downloded lite'ning rom and installed it. and that worked fine.
current problem
I recently downloaded an ICS Samsung rom and have installed it using Odin, apart from the occasional glitch it works fine, i cant seem to screenshot so the details are below
Model
GT-19100
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband version
19100XXLPB
Kernel Version
3.0.15-19100XXLPB-CL99600

i wanted to flash Resurrection Remix ICS ROM v9.6 for Galaxy S2 i9100 but when i go into CWM it is saying i am not rooted, so i ran DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit but is still showing as non-rooted
it seems like my phone isnt allowing the installation of Busybox etc.. on the device, it's saying the folders are read only?
i have the correct drivers, and have selected USB debugging and unknown sources.
any help gratefully received.
many thanks

zergRush isn't for ICS ROMs. You just need CF-root flashed from Odin.

download this,unzip,put in odin in pda and flash it.

this appears to have worked! - will try to flash Resurrection Remix ICS ROM v9.6 and feedback
thanks!
flash worked fine - all seems good.
Apart from some of my previously downloaded apps are not showing up in the 'my apps' section of the google play store for re-download.
any ideas why this might be? - incompatible with ICS maybe?
thanks all
Hi,
had my S2 for a while now and installed ICS through ODIN as here in NZ the updates seem to come a little slower than the rest of the world!
but id like to be on Jellybean and heard so much about unsafe Kernels etc (most of it goes over my head haha)
but i figure my best option, as i dont want a bricked phone, is to go back to stock and get my updates the old fashioned way.
what is the best way to do this? i know other phones can do this through KIES itself...(entering a serial etc), does this work with all phones?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
ICS 4.0.4 stock kernel has brick bug. If you are on stock 4.0.4 then avoid any kind of wiping. If you want to flash official JB go here
Hi friends I own Galaxy s 2 i9100....I got it from UK 3 mobile.. After coming to India I have flashed it with a ROM which is unlocked version as its is locked to 3 network...after the flashing I connected it to kies for backup and found the same message as others in this thread mentioned...so I tried reflashing it with a ROM that is compatible with Indian version and got the issue solved ...I am providing the details of the rom now I am using
PDA: I9100XWLQ2
phnoe: I9100DDLPC
CSC: I9100ODDLPD
BUILD info: Fri oct 26 16:04:15 KST 2012
But recently KIES software in my laptop got updated and when I connected my S2 it stated that my phone is not compatible to update from KIES. But, the same day when I connected wifi in my phone I got a message that an update is available and its done successfully.
Now can any body help me to get that issue sorted out when connected to KIES as it accepted before and now why it is not accepting ??
Thanks in Advance

thankyou! very helpful...now that i have read that entire post i just have one question....isnt that still classed as a wipe? the first thing it says to do is put your phone into recovery mode then wipe?
Flash Siyah or Dorimanx kernel first (without wiping ANYTHING). Then use the CWM that is installed with either of those to...
A) complete the wipe processes. And
B) flash your chosen stock ROM.
When you flash your ROM, you WILL overwrite the Siyah or Dorimanx kernel you previously flashed as your ROM has its own kernel (and CWM). As things stand at the moment, this is probably for the best because there have been some changes to CM10.1 that have made a lot of standalone custom kernels incompatible with the ROM..... for example, I lost my baseband when I flashed Siyah on top of CM10.1 and I'm told that there can be issues with video recording too. Which brings me to make one more point....before starting any of this...
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP....
it's your safety net if it all goes wrong (personal experience is a brilliant teacher lol).......

I need some help from the pros. I would like update my stock P7500 (currently running 3.2) to either a working ICS (and yes by working I mean fixed battery drain) or to a stable fully functional custom rom. I saw a post about a fix to the battery drain but if I saw correctly it was to be installed from a recovery mode, and I have no idea what that is. I have flashed my samsung devices with Odin and I need files that are ment to be installed with Odin.
Is there a working fixed ICS version to be downloaded and I am open to all suggestions installing a custom. As long as it has all the camera and other functions.
And naturally I need a version that has the nordic Finnish language. Thank you very much for the help.
I had ICS for a week but the battery drain bug made me go grazy.
I think your thread would be better in Q/A Forum. This has nothing to do with development.
If you dont know how to flash a recovery, or root your device, or flash a custom ROM, read!! Here are so many threads that gives you the help that you need. Read first before you ask. The most custom ROMs where flashed by recovery. Only the recovery himselve as tar.md5 (pershoot ones) and stock FWs where flashed via Odin.
Sorry but that post was sooo confusing. And yes, there are thousands of posts about custom roms, and that my friend is the problem. I need someone to tell me, which solution is the easiest for me.
I guess it would be easiest to install fixed ICS with finnish language, ifnthere is one I would be supper happy for the link. Sammobile is full of versions and I really don't have a clue which is the correct one. Especially with fixed battery drain.
Icould find the official update from samsmobile, Latest firmware info
GT-P7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 PDA: P7500XWLP6 CSC: P7500OXXLP5 Added: 2012-10-20
But is there one that has the battery drain fix integrated?
The only FW which has no DS Probs is the chinese FW. But its only in chinese and english. So you could try to flash the FW from this thread. Its the FW from Czech Republic, but i mean its multilingual. Im not sure. You can flash it easy with Odin.
