Hey Developers!
So because of the upcoming Olympic Games and Bell Mobility offering content on their Mobile TV app, I really want to get this working.
Currently I am running the most current version of Cyanogenmod RC2 (released July 19th 2012)
I also have flashed the .mdm for Bell Mobility ICS.
Also edited the build.prop so pretty much everywhere it had said i717 I added the "M" for the Bell Mobility model i717M. Still not working.
Does someone know if this is maybe the wrong model number or maybe something else I can try? It just keeps coming up there is something wrong with the connection settings. I've been searching XDA and other forums for days with no luck...

I'm in the same boat friend. only other thing i have yet to try would be the ics stock bell kernel. however unsure if this would work cm9 rc2 and also dont have the kernel. waiting for a possible upload of this to try. Ive tried many different roms and none but bells stock gb or ics are the only roms that allow the mobile tv to work. Very confuzzled!

Yeah, I don't know where to get the Kernel or how to actually load that. I'm still pretty new, learning quite quick though. I do have a copy of the original ICS flash file from samfirmware. Is there a way to extract the original kernel from that?
I'm in this boat as well. Maybe I'll just load the stock firmware during the Olympics.

Still would be nice to get sooome assistance on this issue. cant always stay stock just bc of 1 app. again in the same boat, but i wanna play with some other customs than just stock ics rom. :good:

We saw many releases of firmwares for SGS2, but in every firmware is something crappy or missing (video in gtalk etc..).

Not even custom built roms from ground up remotely come close to perfection, so dont expect too much from samsung, you may need to mix and match some roms/modems/kernels/apks to get the best possible result.
Hmm, I don't think my glass ball still works.

I'm having the same problem and I'm with Orange. You do have to get your phone unlocked unless you intend to get new Provider Firmware. Also I'm a noob so I'm a little uneasy about trying to unlock the Ace myself, I'd rather take it into the shop. Plus I'm told it has to be physically unlocked by USB. Paying for codes online does not work and in my case even the so called Temporary Unlocks do not work.
Have you figured out the letter codes? Maybe you could help me find an alternative Orange firmware? I'm running Gingerbread BVKQA.
Hope this helps

Funny thing, I have the exact same Ace from Orange. I rooted it, first went from 2.2 to 2.3.4 and now I updated it to 2.3.5. Looking for a custom rom to flash it with but I've never gotten that far with customization so I'm not too sure. Thinking of replacing the boot animation to the nexus one's. Looks pretty epic ;D

I think so... but I am just going by what other threads and other forums have said. I'm not sure it will brick it, but it won't be up to snuff that's for sure. I haven't been on XDA long but I've had some invaluable help from EmoBoiix3 along the way. It's a name worth searching. He wrote the Newbie Guide at the start of the Galaxy Ace forum. Seems to know his onions!

Same.
After umming and erring about it I finally snapped up the courage to root via Superoneclick. Downloaded Kies. Hooked up. And like yourself I went to 2.3.4 which is where I seem to be in a bit of a rut.
My phone is still network locked - haven't the balls to try unlocking myself - but that is my next priority in the next couple of days via the High Street Unlock Shops. Until then I cannot try out any fancy ROMs.
Also, dunno what the hell I've done to the phone but the infamous upd_1.zip no longer appears to work for rooting now!!!!
I'm curious, how did you get to 2.3.5? And is your phone unlocked?
Phone T Mobile and asked for unlock code, got it free!

I'm pretty sure it's unlocked now since the Orange animation thing is gone from the boot screen. I got 2.3.5 by updating through Odin from androidadvices.com. I'm not sure if that unlocks it though but I believe it is. It says you can't update with the phone locked to the carrier and I did it anyway and worked when I went from 2.2 to 2.3.4. Not sure if I just got lucky or something. You should give it a try.

SuperAce609 - Not sure how you managed it but well done. I'm thinking my next step should be to get new firmware. European KPH I think. Apparently it is compatible with most ROMs available to the Ace. Been advised to steer clear of Cyanogen though (pity!) as it isn't official or stable enough for Ace.

Yeah! And I was so exited to try it out too! I'm thinking of changing it to the Honeycomb theme but I'm not too sure. And since there isn't a version compatible with the 2.3.5 I have on, I can't do it . Besides, since I switch themes a lot, knowing my self, I'd probably be switching from rom to rom and that sounds like too much work xD

In a bizarre twist I went for the most recent firmware in the end. KPO. Now wishing I hadn't and gone for the KPH instead. Also rethinking Cyanogen. Seriously need to make up my mind!

+1 for this, have unlocked my T-Mobile UK Moto Atrix to use with my work Vodafone SIM, would like to remove the bloat-ware, maybe even upgrade to Gingerbread somehow (with a feasibility to revert to Factory ROM)
I've made mistake of loading Gingerbread orange fr which was so slow and unpleasant experience. So now it is on CM7 but need webtop some time soon and would like to have chance to move back to stock.

Why hasnt UK gotten the 2.3.6 update officially for SGS2? UK got the 2.3.5 update but the unlocked sim-free handsets only got the 2.3.4 update. I have the SGS2 on 3 and didnt get 2.3.6, i had to flash it myself. And will we get an ICS update for UK fast?
Samsung are only on test rom ICE so far .
2.3.6 update may depend upon your carrier and in your case you have to ask 3 .

The whole point of a DROID is customization ditch stock rom's and install CM7 you will never look back and if anything happens to your phone just reflash it with the stock rom. KIES is horrible.
True

It will be the same answer Samsung produce the firmware its then passed to 3 they decide to accept the firmware or not and modify it or not then post to the Kies server .
If stock 2.3.6 has been released for UK then 3 have it .

I have to say I feel the same I use to change my roms on my desire all the time but never felt the need too on the s2? and today one of the girls in work updates her S2 to 2.3.5 voda branded and my none branded is stuck with 2.3.4, what is that all about??? I benched the 2 side by side today fresh reboot and the voda scored 3600+ on quad and mine only 3200+ not happy with that and TBH I have nothing at all installed on mine!!
HTC never let branded phones get firmware first or is this a play from the carriers now paying to get updates first hmm I wonder.
I did have a look at upgrading to that 2.3.6 rom via odin but still not sure about doing it.
I would just like them all to just get the updates out and stop messing, that is what Android is all about. Just let us do the messing with the phones.

This must be pick on me day then??? I was only telling you what I tried and I know that the benchmark rubbish means nothing but as I said a branded Vodafone showing better results than an unbranded s2, I was a little shocked that's all and I have to say that the voda 2.3.5 did feel very fast and smooth to my stock 2.3.4 that clunks now and again??
Also I would be happy to root and run a custom rom on my s2 I have messed around with phones for years going back to the old Nokia 6600 days and a few before that, also my HTC desire that was changed almost daily, but I feel that the S2 is a solid phone as standard (IMO)

I'm quite new to android & smart phones...and before starting to read these boards around a week ago i assumed that the SGS2 was 1 version only all around the globe, exactly the same inside and software... I was a lil surprised to find out that that there's many diff versions, kernals & firmware etc.
Why do they do this ? isn't this just a massive hassle for Samsung etc with all the diff updates they have to work on, test & put out ?
Seems more like "not so smart phones" to me.

I'm getting this error. I am not rooted. I have tried every fix I've seen on google. I even removed the SD card and the problem still persists. The SD card ins't even in the device and I still get the error. One thing I have noticed is my media storage does not have an option to disable. I'm running out of options and can't figure out how to get rid of this error. I am unable to download anything. from files form email, from dropbox, mega and I cannot download any update from the play store. I tried a factory reset and nothing. I know this problem may have something to do with download manager and media storage but I can't get anything to work running android 5.0 please help
I want to just get another one but I'm afraid this could be tied to my profile
Edit: come to find out, the problem is with android 5.0. There is an issue where the download manager and device storage apps aren't syncing up. And the fix is found in.......you guess it.........android 5.1, which this device has never gotten. I know there is a custom rom for android 5.1 floating around. Could anyone just point me in the direction of the custom rom and a guide on rooting this device? I used odin a long time ago when this device was on 4.4 but I'm sure it's different now on 5.0.

I was using that ROM for 6 months with no issues.
Only thing I didn't like was the stock sms app is messed up and you have to use textra. I even tried another sms app like signal and it also didn't work correct.
There is a similar build called Darklord Reborn by mid3vil. The post claims the stock sms app works. However, the link to the file is dead at the moment.
There is also a post called Lots of ROMs 7.1 by NMBNMB that seems promising. I started dabbling into a couple.
Hope this helps.

Looking these over, it seems like they are all for hlte and not hltespr... Sprint being a CDMA based system may not want to play nice. It seems like Resurection Remix had more luck in this , but even there the OP crossed out the Sprint variant working on this.
I hear Sprint may be merging/bought up soon and so perhaps there may be a change in the bandwidth that will be allowed for us users?
