I've just begun installing new ROMS/Kernals and coming from galaxys2roms.com I realized the links to the roms take me to this forum. However, there is a separate forum for SGH-I777. Will the ROMS listed in this forum work on my phone or will I need to stick to ROMS listed specifically in the SGH-I777 forums?
Thanks.
should ask in i777 forum....... though they have similar internals
Flash only ROMs and kernels specific to your build. Otherwise you'll probably end up with a soft brick at best.
Follow the guides, faq, stickies and read the relevant threads before posting there.

Since this is a sticky and is the first thing most visitors will see when they go looking for instructions PLEASE be sure to define all terms or link to a good description or or instructions. I know some of them since my old phone is a G1 running CM 6.0 but there are some new terms here and I am having to hunt down definitions before I can start to root my new Verizon Fascinate and install roms.
Example:
What is root? (hopefully people know this one but it can't hurt)
What is Clockwork? (I used to use this on my G1)
What is Voodoo?
What is Lagfix?
What is Odin?
What is D101?

DI01 was the first maintence release update for the Fascinate. If you are stock, this is most likely what you are running.
DJ05 was a leaked maintenance release that was never actually released, but fixed many bugs, including the GPS for most
DL09 is the current maintenance release that was leaked, but should be rolling out OTA soon. By most accounts, there isn't much difference between this and the previous leak.
TELUS is a Canadian service provider which also has a Samsung Galaxy S device named the Fascinate, but TELUS is a GSM carrier. Ideally, TELUS should have named their device after the Vibrant, as it is closer in hardware to that variant.
You should make it a bit more clear that posts concerning questions should be posted in the General Section instead of the Dev section.
If there is no effort being made to keep this infomation up to date then this really doesnt need to be stickied as its relevance has ceased importance other than confuse people with outdated information

Instead of making a negative post, why didn't you just add to the thread with updates etc.

It's not a negative, it's relevant. I'm not going to further compound an already confusing situation. If it's stickied, it's the responsibility of whoever started it to maintain that thread. There's no reason to sticky a thread that is out of date or no longer valid. The updates should be made to the OP and replace the outdated information.
... but thanks for your opinion, I'll take that into consideration.
A friend just bought a Fascinate and I'm having a hell of a time finding up to date info. Everything I seem to find leads back to the same link this leads to for rooting. The post for one click root that apparently is too old. Is there a new method to gain root on this phone?
Can anyone tell me how I can make a backup of my OS either turn it into a MD5 or zip file?
I mean like the ones that are used to return to stock or upgrade to a newer version.
Thanks in advance.
there is a app called odin maker that will allow you to backup your os as a .tar file.
Hi everyone I am Sean, and I just got my ATT SGS2 Yesterday. I think I followed a rooting guide for the non ATT one. The rooting was successful but my WIFI is down with no MAC Address, also I cannot seem to get any custom rom working.
Is there a way to get the Stock ATT Kernel so I can flash and start over. Is there a rooting guide specificly for the ATT version?
Thanks ahead of time!

If u flashed the wrong kernel, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294574. Not trying to be mean, but it took me less then a minute of skimming over the Android development section to find this.
Here is the normal rooting guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301682.

Please read *before* you post a question. There is a lot of information available on the XDA I777 forums. Please read all the stickies in the general section, as well as the library sticky in the development section. You've been on xda-developers for several years and made many posts, so you *should* know the forum rules. People here will be glad to help you if you do your part first, but if you are looking to have your hand held, you will probably get little help.

It's just that your questions are already answered in sticky posts in both the general forum and the development forum. I thought it would be better if you wnet and read the answers there rather than taking the time to write the answers all over again.
You clearly didn't read if you went and flashed something not meant for your device without VERY explicit instructions on what is OK to flash and how to flash it.

Actually as I have already explained I did read plenty, I found nothing in the Q&A Section, which is where a solution to a "Question" should be.
And the Guide I followed which was from XDA never once stated that it was only for the International version. Nor did it say it would not work for the AT&T version.
I have been with this community a long time and have never had someone as rude or unhelpful as you. Please do not reply to posts if you are not helping in anyway.
Even though you may have read threads in the Q&A section, a simple search would have pulled up the IMPORTANT threads taht are located in the Dev section that would have answered your questions... and why are they in the Dev section you ask? Because, when flashing anything to your phone like a rom or kernel, its considered DEVELOPMENT and you would have know that if you would have read.
Now go read some more and search. Thread closed.
Hi
Currently i have a samsung galaxy s2 and i been looking through the forum for the last few days for a new rom but there is so many to choose from i have no idea what the best ones are ,
I also have a few questions that im not sure about.
I am on android version 2.3.5 do i have to use a certain rom for this?
I am on gingerbreadBukI3 will there have to be a specific type of rom i will have to use that will run with with this?
Oh and im currently using cwm
Thanks in advance
I'm no expert but I have flashed dozens of roms on my s2. 2.3.5 is your version of gingerbread. You can flash any rom that is in the development section for the gti 9100 . But make sure they are for your version of s2 (not at and t or 9100g) I new nothing about flashing these roms until I read all I needed to know in the forums. (PS some developers don't appreciate us noobs asking them questions that are simple to them but difficult to us because most of the answers have already been given in older posts and we should read up first) . Main thing about flashing roms is always read the instructions on the first page of the roms thread before asking questions on the thread. Hope I helped. (Study the gt-i 9100 forums carefully before anything and it will all come to you) happy flashing and you can pm me anytime if you get stuck as I am patient

Oh and cm7 is my favourite rom to use at the moment because its reliable. Cm9 will be excellent when its finished but its still under development

ok well this is my first time trying to put install a custom rom on my phone but i just have a few questions. i have read all the stickies already but just need a little clarification. i havent quite decided on a rom yet but i know i want to try the siyah kernel. Do i install it through mobile odin?? and then do i do the same for the rom on my choosing?? im already rooted. and depending on the rom i choose, do i have to be on a specific firmware like on 2.3.4 or 2.3.6?? do i have to flash using mobile odin or cwm. i dont want to trip the flash counter. and last question i think, how do i get cwm, or is it already in the phone
First, please use more descriptive thread titles so people that actually search can find relevant info. This title is useless.
Second, all you asked about is covered in the FAQ and various stickies. You obviously did not read the one about not tripping the counter or you wouldn't have asked. CWM is included in almost every custom ROM and kernel. Reading would have told you that. I suggest you go back, read and forget flashing until you completely understand what you are doing. We are not here to bail you out of mistakes you make from not reading and understanding.
thats exactly why im asking. before i make a mistake

Don't ask, read. This is a self-service forum, not the Help Desk. No one in here is paid to give answers, that's why you need to find them for yourself and only ask when it is absolutely necessary. At this point, for you, it isn't as the answers are already here if you take the time to look.
then there wouldnt be a q&a section in the forum.

The existence of Q&A does not relieve you of following forum rules, which clearly state not to start new threads without first searching and reading the stickies. This is common understanding for almost all internet forums and something you agreed to when you joined XDA. Q&A is for the rare item not covered in the FAQ or stickies or found by doing a search. Your questions do not qualify.

Firstly you probably want a kernel with CWM. Siyah & Entropy both have that. Flash it in Odin (This you will have to look at stickies for) and you will gain root/cwm. Then choose a rom that is safe, I would say anything in the dev section that says 2.3.4-2.3.6. You don't have to match your version to the ROM. With the zip you download, enter CWM mode (look at stickies) and flashing it in there. You will now have whatever kernel they use with that ROM.

I believe this thread has run its course....
As stated.. you can post in boards, but you only should do so AFTER searching/reading existing posts to see if your question is answered. There is no reason to make a whole new thread when there are plenty of guides and stickies out there with great info...
just got my sgs3. i see many different posts here on roms etc. 2 questions:
1- best rom for att- sgs3 ?
2- any instructions from a-z on how to unlock and install the rom?
Wrong place...this is a development forum...this belongs finder Q +A

Don't just see them ....read them. Guides are there.

You need to do your own research and make your own decision regaring which ROM is best for you. There are stickies that cover the ROM installation procedures in General and Development. Do not post questions in Development, they belong here in Q&A.
