[REQUEST] - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

GUYS !
I want paranoidandroid ROM so much, but I have problem, I can´t install ROMs (tried to fix that see: )
BUT I can restore backups!
So I want to ask you, gentlemen, if someone of you can just flash a fresh copy of PA 2.10+ and make a backup for me. Then upload it somewhere. I tried to get backup of PA ROM in PA thread but nobody responded.
In return I can offer my (very good I think) collection of wallpaper.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, I´m going crazy that I can´t have this ROM on my SGSII.
Feel free to contact me via PM or in thread.
Have nice day !
EDIT: oops it looks that i forget to fill subject. Sorry, my bad :-/

I and Sun90, tried to solve the issue without any success. The only solution is for him to restore a backup. His phone behaves like its bootloader is partially locked.

Flash back to stock using odin and use re-partition. Also format your external SD card using Panasonic SDFormatter on full erase/overwrite.
Once you have re-stocked flash Siyah kernel and then flash your desired rom.

Ofcourse I´m not double posting.
In previous thread I was searching for solution but its seems that only restoring someone else´s backup should work.
@Jokesky Thanks again for your helping!!! I highly appreaciate that!

Can a backup be uploaded to Dropbox?
I've never used it before so I have no clue

[Q] CM9 --> Samsung S II Official 4.0 LPG Rom???

I'm a new user (quiet new...)
and I don't know if I can change my S II from CM9 to Samsung S II Official 4.0 LPG Rom?
I did a lot of research but still couldn't find the answer...
I watch people flashing their S II from 2.3.5 but no one using CM9...
Could someone answer me?

Yes, just flash stock rom via Odin.
You can go back and forth to and from any rom you wish aslong as its for your device. Which means dont just flash any old **** to your device, read, learn enjoy.
Learn using some stickies
Wipe using cwm
Flash using Odin, but In my opinion flash lpd instead of old lpg

"go back and forth to and from any rom"? Is that means I have to flash it back to 2.3.5 first? Using recovery?

Wow! Many pro terms... What are 'Learn','Wipe' and 'Flash'?
And what are LPD and LPG,also LPF LPE somethings like that.
Is it just a model number?
OH MY GOD!

Learn basically saying to you to research what your after
wipe well basically clean everything to start again
flash basically how you add Rom to your device
LPD LPG LPF LPE are just random firmwares which are around and avaliable for your device
your model number check in settings>>about phone
make sure to flash correct to match your device gt-19100 or gt-19100G dont mix them up.
also you talk about CM9 check the thread for it but i would research it first

So, that means I could now flash my CM9 into Samsung 4.0 LPG Rom directly without turning back S II into 2.3.5 first right?

Yes, as long as you read the instructions of installing CM9. People get problems after installation usually due to not properly installing.
Also it would be best to be patient for replies, instead of posting for an answer just 30 minutes later. Plenty of people wait for replies hours to days later.

Got my new Galaxy S2 - How to root/install CWM?

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium
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.

What was the firmware info of the 4.0.4?
Was it a custom ROM?
How did you upgrade to ICS, via Odin, kies or CWM recovery?

Poor Wifi Signal can be caused by Wrong Kernels. You might need to try a different kernel. A small brief on available kernels..
1. CM10 Kernel - Amazing Battery, Moderate Performance
2. Siyah Kernel - Amazing Performance, Poor Battery
3. Dream Kernel
4. Dorimanx Kernel
Choose a Kernel that suits your need and try to flash it via CWM.

You didn't say a specific version for Siyah, but otherwise, these are all kernels that only work on ICS.

The comparison has been generalised bro.. If you want a stable ICS ROM which can be used as a daily driver; head to Resurrection Remix 2.6.1

that's probably caused by
An app.
If you have a ROOT access on your gingerbread device, then you can upgrade back to a good ICS ROM (more will come later about this) without any need to for pc connection, just CWM recovery.

There is no best rom, as everyone is using their phones differently. You should know that because before asking (almost demanding in your case) you should do some research for yourself.
So go look for a rom which is based on the JB-leak.
