Sir,
I have Galaxy S II variant i9100G (from India). I would like to know can I use custom rom Cyanogenmod 7.2 (update-cm-7.2.0-RC2-galaxys2-signed) on my phone? Where can I get .tar or .tar.md5 files to use in odin? I am scared to do any experiment on my phone due to bricking risk. Kindly help .
thank you in advance.
One more question. Can I change odin into clockwork recovery, as am pretty much comfortable using it.

Honestly.. I am new on andriods phones. As a begginer I take the risk to root it myself followed by this website:
But after I flash it in Odin.. My phone stuck at the boot screen and has a yellow triangle down there. I tried Recovery mode but it won't start the recovery mode. Just download mode.
What should I do!?
I am from Malaysia.. O_O
Are my phone bricked? Bootloops? And I need to do something like firmware?
I would like to flash back if can..
by the way.. I AM PANIC!!!!!!

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
But I can't find any firmware for Malaysia..
What is your Product Code, you might find it on the box.
Need this to find you closest matching CF-Root kernel or official firmware.
eg GT-I9100LKTTHL

GT-i9100G.. Is it from the back of the box? Or in it?
If you have an I9100G, you'll need an I9100G kernel. You can find stock ones in Odia's thread: [KERNEL] Insecure Kernels for use with rooting, i.e. GT-I9100G_DZKI1_original and GT-I9100G_ZCKHI4_original. Don't flash an I9100G kernel unless you're absolutely sure yours is I9100G though.

Yes, If you really have a "G", best you check out the previous posters link to the "G" specific thread.
Sorry, can't help you any more than that as not 100% familiar with your model. Don't want to make things worse . G requires different firmware than than the International or T versions that I have.
Best of luck.

Hello,
I just got my new Galaxy S2 and want to install the Resurrection Remix Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854)
Since there are soo many topics and threads here, I can't even find the answer I'm looking for with the search bar, so I'm sorry to ask.
I want to know how to install CWM and this ROM, is there a guide somewhere? What's the best way to root it and install CWM?
It would be really nice if someone could post it.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Greezes,
Draygon
just get odin and then flash a rooted and cmw kernel.

Well, first thing to do is to get Odin like our friend already said, u can look here in forum for links, u will need the Odin 1.85
After that go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Its Chainfire kernel, it Root and install CWM and Superuser basically.. he keeps it the most original as possible...
Attention ! Download the version that is compatible to ur ROM Version !
now go to odin, in PDA u add the .tar file from chainfire and select start. (If u dont know how to use Odin completelly, i suggest u to read something about first!)
After its complete the SGSII will restart and it will be rooted, now u can download the rom u want and flash it through CWM...
Remember to read FAQ first...
Thank you button if u like it ! =D
Acutally, the first thing you should do is confirm what model of the Galaxy SII you have, since there are over a dozen variants, some of which are specific to the US. I say this because this is your first post in the Galaxy SII forum, and a brief perusal of your posting history doesn't really give any clues as to your geographical location.
Look on the label under the battery.
Does it say "GT-i9100"?
If so, you're in the right place.
If not, you're in the wrong place, and flashing ANYthing for an i9100 will potentially brick your device.
I got a Galaxy S2 i9100.
Thanks a lot for your great replys,you guys are awesome!!
I know what to do now.

Welcome pal ! This Forum helped me for one year till now, its great to share some experience ! =D
Just have another question because I don't want to brick my new S2:
In this guide which Danpamio posted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I have to look for the right ROM to flash via odin to my S2.
Mine got the "LP7" in the system settings info.
Now, which of there roms do I have to install? What's the difference?
CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Thanks in advance!
This is the safe way, just notice recovery is only there until you reboot, but root stays, still there are instructions how to unroot

If you read the entire thread you are referencing it clearly states:
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4.zip
The XX and OXA identifiers are not that important. Usually a "KG1" kernel is a "KG1" kernel, and that is that. Sometimes (pretty rare) it happens there will be multiple different kernels with the same name in different firmwares, that are actually different. If this happens, they are usually only very minor changes and you should expect them to still be fully compatible. I include the "XX" and "OXA" identifiers so the very advanced users can deduce from which full firmware I have taken the kernel file.

Alternate kernels? You do know you have an X2 correct? SBF if possible and keep away from whatever you were flashing.

Hey I have a couple of quick questions on flashing. First question is what does Odin do? It looks like it flashes roms and roots your phone. Is that correct? If I brick my phone somehow can that unbrick my phone? Another question is what is the main way to flash roms on the galaxy s3?is it Odin? Clockwork mod? Twrp? Is twrp and good manager even supported on the galaxy s3? Thank you for all of your help.
Also I know that this is a subjective question but what rom should I start with? Which is the fastest and most feature rich rom with little to no bugs?
if you dont now know what Odin is you should not flash yet. You can flash a .tar Rom using Odin and a .zip using cwm. Most of the custom roms are available for cwm flashing. All the stock roms are available in tar format I.e. Odin flash.
Subjective ans to your subjective ques... The best Rom available is stock IMO

Odin cannot root your phone. Is just a software to flash .tar file into your phone. Most people just use CWM to flash roms.
There is no perfect rom. Just try flashing until you find the right rom for you.

Odin can only flash .tar roms. If you call "being in a boot loop" a brick then yes Odin can take u back to stock. However Odin will not unbrick your phone.
S III is brickable however it is extremely hard to brick it

No need to do that. Just flash Siyah v4 (.tar) via ODIN (I use ODIN3 v1.85) in PDA section. This will give you root, CWM manager app and CWM recovery. This is the single best way to prep your phone for root and custom roms etc.
Its also customary (and tbh common sense) to provide relevant information like your current rom version as this can help in sometimes the supply of more accurate info/steps and saves time.
