Hi
Im new with a sgs2, i can flash my sgs2 with any rom, i have ki4 in this moments
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yes, just make sure it matches your phone model. Most roms are for the international (i9100) version, so don't mix them up. Follow the instructions carefully, and exactly step by step, and you're out of harm's way .
I have i9100 latinamerica, I have rom ki4 rooted, which you can recommend to be stable

Stable? pick one from the original development thread, any that is based of a samsung rom, you can pick and try until you find your favorite flavor.

it's just a feeling...
but if you come to here (xda), probably do you don't look for official rom.
In generally the custom roms or beta is working fine.
now you have information a lot to research here.
good luck.
Just test some roms to see what's best for you. I think you have here alot of choices so goodluck mate!
Hi all, (this is my first thread)
I wanted to ask a couple of questions about which I am confused...
I am currently running stock 4.1.1 on rooted international galaxy s3..
Q1. Is there anyway I can get 4.1.2 OTA Without unrooting?
Q2. I am not sure whether the country I bought my phone from has got the update yet... So is there anyway I can check that...
P.S I got my phone from dubai..
But I live in India...
Thanks.

And does it matter if I download firmware of another country??

Give a try to the temporary unroot option in the superuser app...
Not guaranteed to work...
Download stock rom through sammobile.com and flash through odin only...

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?
Thanks!

Try Omega for urself and see how it works...

I had the same experience, Omega had loads of launcher redraws and sudden lag. No such experience on ARHD with Perseus kernel. That kernel now even has the exynos exploit fixed.
Nope, all other roms i've tried i never used more then a few hours.
Can you give me a link to the ARHD page?
Thanks!

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me
Best regards

Haha.. Thanks buddy.
Btw, I am not new to rooting, I have flashed at least 15 rom's on my old phone(galaxy ace)
But I was not a member of XDA then.. I just used to read....
But since s3 is much more expensive I wanted to be absolutely clear about the smallest of things...
Because with great power comes great responsibility.

Hi, I recently updated to jelly bean. Rooted with siyah kernal 3.0.31, currecntly using stock ROM. I want to try new ROMs. There are to many to choose from. Please suggest me a ROM with good features and good performance. I been hearing that GALAXY S II is vulnerable to hard brick. So I am worried and hesitant to try ROMs. Please help me with it. Thanks in Advance.
Re:
Stop posting "What is a good ROM for me to try?"
Read the rules!
For your question, I don't know, I have stock ROM and I have my reasons for not changing, it has nothing to do with hard/soft brick. So just go through different posts and find a ROM that you would like. Follow the instructions and you will get there as long as you do it properly. You either do it or you don't, simple as.
I am completely not responsible if your phone bricks, sticks, flicks or explodes.
What do you want from a rom? Wich mods?
The only answer is to go in the rom's topic and see the features, mods ecc. Choose one that you like, and flash it. And if you don't like it, try another
I tried a lot of rom, now i'm on rootbox rom and i love it
Just try
Thanks for the reply. I am gud to try different roms. I wanted to try cynacogenmod rom. I read there is a chance of hardbrick wen done with stock rom. So little hesitant to tey. Anyway thanks again. I will check and try new roms.

Make sure you read the instructions carefully tho.
Hi. im new in this selection. yesterday i bought i9100. now i got android 4.1.2 branded by orange and i need to change it to cm10 and and CWM6. i cant go to recovery by combinations buttons (im not noob, previous phone galaxy mini2 with many mods). download mode working so i put unbranded stock 4.1.2 and i need to know how (where download) CWM without bugs and where i can download lastest stable cm10 without any bugs. i dont have warranty so there no way to any error. some tutorials are welcome. thx for reply.
You can flash any kernel to get CWM.
I've heard PhilZ kernel working best with 4.1.2 at the moment, but also there are DorimanX, Siyah and many more..
Flash one of them with Odin (download mode) and then you will probably have access to CWM.
you should be able to access the stock CWM, but if you can't you might want to look into what causes that problem before rooting.
i do it 3h after i write op btw. thx. in galaxy mini 2 bootloader etc is easiest to using good luck and thx for respond bro.

You know how flashing works, you only need to know how your new device works.
And don't read from another site, stick to xda.

Hi folks,
First off, I'm the noobest noob you'll have seen in a while , I swapped my iphone 4s yesterday for a galaxy s3, best decision I've made in a while tbh.
Today I rooted the phone using odin and all that, but the reason I rooted in the first place is still eluding me.
I want to debrand the phone and get rid of the boot screen and useless apps.
I've searched through the forums and internet and basically I'm just plain confused! If someone could explain to me the process or point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful. I just don't know certain things like can I flash using filles not for XXELLA etc.
For the record:
4.1.2.
XXELLA
Vodafone (me)
O2 (unlocked phone)
Thanks in advance :laugh:
Debranding is the process of flashing a stock rom that is unbranded. You would get this from sammobile.com (BTU is uk unbranded). You would flash via odin. Guides are all in general > sticky roll-up thread

First off thank you for the reply rootSU,
I just have two questions,
1. I can flash BTU even though I have an irish O2 phone yes?
2. Am I right in assuming tge BTU file must be XXELLA?
1) Yes but you may want the irish unbranded. Check the csc sticky in general for what that is
2) no? Flash the latest.

Just as an update after following your guidance I am now the owner of a de-branded SIII.
Just as an FYI addition I found through research that the BTU file covers both the UK and Ireland and was the one that worked.
Thank you again rootSU and I can only apologise for the fact I can only thank you once per post. :good::laugh:
No worries. I don't help for "thanks"
