I noticed that this site doesnt have anything specifically for the Galaxy S2 LTE HD.
So, I want to ask if the things on this forum like the methods, roms, and such be compatible with my device.
Can I go ahead and root my phone and use these roms and kernels?
I forgot to ask..
which development would I use: I9100G, original, or the other one?

At least I admit to being completely green here. Please be gentle.
I got my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 today. All I want is a recommendation on which ROM to put on this bad boy, please. I have already rooted it following the instructions found here. Rooting was a piece of cake.
When I look at all of the ROMs available, I am kind of confused as to which ones I can actually use with my model of tablet.
It is a model GT-P7500 which the following:
Android v3.1
Baseband P7500UBKG6
Kernel 2.6.36.3
[email protected] #1
Build number HMJ37.UBKG9 P7500UBKG9
Thank you very much for your suggestions. I am looking very forward to enjoying my tablet.
By the way, I did do some research, but get kind of confused because when I read about the different ROMs available, I am not sure which one can be used on my tablet. I don't want to mess up by attempting to install something that I am not supposed to. I figure it is better to ask for advise than it is to turn my tablet into a door stop.
Thank you all, again!
What tablet do you exactly have (there are variations of that tablet)?

Not to sound like a complete idiot, but what do you want to know, exactly? I posted what I thought would be needed, but am not sure where to find the "variation" info. I posted everything from the "about tablet" screen.
I appreciate you answering my question. Thank you.

It turns out that you have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500 (3G & WiFi). You could check out this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268099 or this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233328 .
Thank you very much. I will check those out.
Edit: I was looking at the ROMs at those two links provided. Unless I am mistaken, they are not for my tablet.
Or, do the ROMS work on any tablet, regardless of the build and baseband I currently have?

I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are asking if I am asking how to use ROMs, then in a sense, yes, I am.
I am not quite sure if I can apply just any ROM I want to. I noticed that when people post ROMs, they post which device they were made on. If my device is different, I am not sure if I can use the ROM or not. That is what I am asking.
When I look at the ROMs that are in the links above, they are not created using the same firmware that I have. I want to ask for advice before doing something stupid.
Thank you.

If a rom is not made for your device, do not ever try to flash it. Unless, of course, you want to turn your device into an expensive paper weight . If you flash a rom not made for your device, it will be bricked.

Thank you. That is what I was trying to find out. But, to clarify... I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1. Can I use any ROM made for a Galaxy Tab 10.1? Or, are there other parameters that also need to match? If so, what parameters?
I really appreciate the help you guys provide. Kudos!

Only if it is your version of the tab. Example - You should not flash a rom made for the Wifi-only model of the tab since you have the 3G+Wifi model.

Great! Thank you. I was under the impression that the ROM had to come from the same firmware version, etc. But, if it is just model specific, that is a huge help.
Thank you, again!!
Another question to help me understand. In one of the links posted above, the ROM instructions say:
Please note that your Base stock Rom should be JPKG6
then:

This is what is confusing to me. If I have a Wi-Fi/3G model (GT-P7500), and it is not based on JPKG6, according to the instructions, I should not use this ROM. But, in the last post you said that as long as the model is the same, it is OK.
Why the instruction to have base stock ROM, then?
so i rooted my samsung galaxy s2 yesterday successfully, and i got titanium backup to freeze bloatware and shiz, but now what else can i do. i see people talking about custom roms but i dont really know what they are or how to install them so if someone could run me down on them that would be great!

So in the 5 hours between posting your question and bumbing your thread, you didn't manage to find out what a custom ROM is and how to install it?
Try the stickies, for example, [REF] Guide to the Galaxy S II and Android (04/10/11) which links to [REF] ROM, Kernel, Kitchen & Modem List - Galaxy S II (22/10/11).

Do you have more than one Android device? You can only use roms made for the I717 version of the Galaxy Note on the Galaxy note I717 unless its a ported rom. The same goes for other devices, only flash roms made for that specific device or you can ruin it. Go here to find roms for the Galaxy Note I717 http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1496. You will also find useful information and kernels, radios etc in the link. Also when you are on this site looking at the forums and you want to look at roms for a certain device there will be subforums for each device that will look like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1493 all you do is click on the entry that says Android Development at the end and thats where you will find custom roms and other development.
Gents, I have put something together as a ref and one stop shopping...see my signature for the GNote Super Everything Page...hope it helps you...

So, I'm new on Android and I'm trying to have my Galaxy S2 Rooted. The problem is that I have searched for the corresponding Kernel for my phone and I haven't found it, Mine is: 3.0. 15-I9100UHLPQ-CL672935.
I don't know if I can use any kernel, but I would like some help here.
Thanks!

Posting this question in the Galaxy S II Q&A forum would probably get better answers than posting it in the About XDA-developers.com General forum. I have requested that a mod move this thread to that forum.

Search for the CF-root thread, your kernel is there.

You don't need any kernel, this is a much simpler method:

How can i add the S3 function with s voice on my phone? What others app should i add too?
Any adivice for a noob is welcome!

Sorry for asking the question in a wrong section.
If i`ll update to the newest version, 4, is there a way to come back to 2.3.5?
Should update be done before trying to add a custom rom? or should i add it now and after rom?
