Hi all,
I am trying to use one of these new ICS ROM from my current 2.3.6 ROM and every time the install fails and aborts. The install instructions for these new ICS roms seems the same, you load Clockwork and install. I'm sure I'm missing something stupid so any help is appreciated
Considering your other posts appear to be in the SGH-I777 forum, and this is the I9100 forum, take a guess at what you might be doing wrong.
Well seeing as my current boot screen shows I9100 i thought this was appropriate

Brilliant logic, love it.
Do you indeed have an I777?
P.S. Sticking an Apple bootscreen on your device doesn't turn it into an iPhone.
if ur on gb then simply do a factory wipe and install any stock ics tro odin,an always remember to backup ur efs folder....

Is that a custom ICS flashed via CWM or stock Samsung ICS flashed via Odin .
What is the model code under the battery ,

the issue appears to be a signature verification error when i look closer at why the installation failed?
Putting a question mark a question does not make.
I'll ignore you since you ignored me.
Im not ignoring you i was driving to Cleveland for my sisters graduation. and Im trying to answer these all from my phone. should i give you priority so you can rip me again cuz i don't know as much about this stuff as you?
You know more than me, your model number for example.
oinkylicious is clearly asking you if you have a i9100 or a different device. If people with a different phone flashes a i9100 rom, it will either not boot or may be lucky to see a i9100 boot screen, but it does not indicate they have a i9100.
As said above check under the battery and see what it says. It would be best to do this, before you end up bricking your device due to flashing roms that will not work on your device.
By CWM it's very easy, but unhide your model before 9100 or 9100G
2.3.6 rooted ??
what is the SD-Ext size ?
yes it is an I777. It is rooted. It has an 8gig external card. I've had this rom on there for several months and it was starting to flake recently plus I have been waiting for more ICS roms to come out to avoid bug issues. As I had said earlier I only posted to this forum because the opening boot screen said I9100 which I attributed to the rom that was on there.

So you know you have an I777... well, I777 and I9100 are similar enough that firmwares won't completely brick your phone if you flash one meant for the other model, but they are different enough that things won't work right. Like the fact that the I777 has 4 capacitive keys, and the I9100 has 2 capacitive keys and 1 hardware key.
So I'm not sure why you thought flashing an I9100 firmware would work for you or solve whatever problem you were having... but it won't. You should be only flashing I777 ROMs and firmwares.
Hi guys,
I have a pebble blue 32gb S3 running on custom ROM jellyBAM - the latest version with cm kernal.. I would like to know if i flash XXELLA kernal via odin directly to this ROM without bricking it or do i have to go back to official ROM to get XXELLA update.. Also many people are trying to downgrade from XXELLA to old kernals...Why is that.. Does XXELLA truely fixes the EXYNOS bug and the sudden death issues?
Thanks
You are completely confused - CM kernels and JB stock kernels are not interchangeable for one thing. ROMs, Bootloaders and Kernels - read up a little.
Respectfully but strongly suggest you stick with what you currently have... based on your current experience level.
This should also be in the Q and A forum - and for Pete's sake lose the multiple exclamation marks (!!!!!!!).
It's kernEl.
But you're indeed confused, seems like you are talking about the bootloader, not the kernel. You can flash it via Odin and some people think that it fixes the sudden death. The exploit bug, on the other hand, is kernel - related, and most current kernel have it fixed

I don't think there's one reported case of a SD for a 32GB model. Stay where you are....
Hey guys
I am using this ROM on my S2 (Intl.) and yeah it has some bugs, but thats okay, but today i saw in the CM download section that there is CM11 available for the S2, butonly for the T-Mobile version.
So my question is, whether I can flash the T-Mobile version or if that would brick my phone. And if I can't, can I flash ROMs from the Note 2 for example? I have one S2 in use and one only for testing ROMs, so i could copy a stable S2 ROM on my sd and then copy the CM11 T-Mobile, too. Then I'll flash the T-Mobile ROM and if that wouldn't work i can boot in recovery, clear all data and flash the stable version? Or is thisimpossible and I am just a silly dude?
thanks for answering
Merry Christmas!
Do not flash non-I9100 firmware on the I9100, yes, there's a fair chance you'll brick your phone if you do.
I suggest you learn 'the basics' given your question (read the guides/tutorials stickied in the General section for starters), 'messing' with your phone in any way (particularly if it involves flashing, even with CWM) is risky without knowing them.
no no I know the basics including that you should not flash not appropriate firmwares, it was just a question, but okay, I understood, so I#ll keep waiting until an official version of CM11 for the normal S2 will be uploaded

Exactly. I know it seems a madness that the Galaxy S2 has not yet been updated (it is enough to think that the Galaxy S already has the CM11), but more of install the CM11 not journal cannot we do.
P. S: Merry Christmas
Hello
I get crazy while searching the original gingerbread firmware for the GT-I9100 including all parts (PDA, PHONE and CSC).
Since Hotfile is down I can't find a working link.
Can someone please provide a working link?
thanks in advance.
edit : when there would be a PIT file in the package I would be happy..
edit 2 :
what I want to do ist, repartition the whole device with stock GB firmware.
I want to do this because I got this phone from a friend and it has a bricked efs partition, now I have several ideas how to fix this but first I want to go back to stock.
greez
furby
Do you mean GB or JB?
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
I mean GB, so I'm not sure but I think the first complete stock firmware was 2.3.3?
Ah OK.....just checking as I can link you to a 3 part JB firmware.....tbh I think you're unlikely to find a 3 part GB firmware......old news now.....
And a word of advice.......
Pit files.....ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT.....use ONLY for recovering a phone if ALL ELSE has failed.......
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
I thinks an ICS firmware would also work.
When the device is only usable as a brick I think there's nothing to loose ^^
My think with the PIT file is when I completly repartition the phone and flash samsung efs.tar I maybe get a developer IMEI and not just <null>.
Search emmc brickbug ICS 4.0.4......
Could perma-superbrick ur phone.....
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
thanks for the warnings, but the "phone" is not really a phone atm, it's more like a brick!
The efs partition is corrupted so no signal, wifi or bt. IMEI is just <null> so I have nothing to loose.
I found a 3 Part GB firmware but this one is buggy. So I still need a 3 Part ICS firmware.
greez
OK......just in case....here's the link to the 3 part JB.....(for i9100 international ONLY)

first of all I apologize if I posted this on a wrong sleection or whatever...
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand i9080L and i resently found that my phone had an update but when i connected to kies it appeared to be none, nor via OTA. so i Downloaded it from Sammobile and flashed the rom using ODIN.
Now the problem is that when i updated to 4.2 my phone started to run really slow and i did a hard reset and deactivated some applications that didnt work properly but the phone still lags, less but does compared to when i had 4.1.
I dont want to go back to 4.1 because when i do i cant use any game because of a graphic problem that its now solved with 4.2 and some other bugs.
I've been trying to find a custom rom for my GT i9080L but i cannot find any.
Do you guys think i can use a Rom for the DUOS version (i9082) and install it with odin?
Any idea?
please help im kinda desperate because of the lack of suppor for this phone.
I realize that these are for the i9082L dual sim model : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-duos/development
But there have been people in various forums reporting the CM or AOSP type roms run on their i9080l fine since the dual sim support for non Samsung roms are tricky to get working right anyway (example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50659404&postcount=1123 , http://www.madboxpc.com/foro/topic/186437-guia-actualizar-galaxy-i9080l-de-422-custom-a-442-mod/ ). I'd be wary of trying any Samsung based 9082 roms because I have seen people saying that'll brick it (though probably just fixable via Odin).
