Hi,
I bought an unlocked SHW-M440S in Korea, and I wonder if I can upload any Samsung Galaxy III ROM unto it, or is this model somehow specific? I don't need the original providers apps, etc. so I'd prefer a generic Galaxy III ROM myself.
thanks for any pointers.

No..dont even think about it..
thank you for the replies. since then I'm trying to read up on the question (which I should have done earlier of course), and this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30986864&postcount=534
says that:
***NOTE!!! - All roms available require a custom kernel for the m440s. Kernels for the i9300 will not work. Most roms for i9300 will work on the m440s but you must have a customized kernel for the m440s!***

interesting...
I'm using cm9-1 on my m440s. A Korean dev modified the siyah kernel to work on m440s (I put link to where to download on Korean phone page) . I have installed many roms on here and most work.

I just installed cm9.1 then installed the siyah kernel (modified one for our phone from korean develoid site) then wiped, cleared cache, dalvik and reboot. The first time it will take a couple minutes to load so be patient Links to the modified kernels can be found on my m440s info page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31748681&postcount=837

thanks for the link - your thread looks really comprehensive.
I'm very sorry to have a very lame question though: I can't seem to find a download option on any of the custom kernel pages (e.g. on naver.com pages). I don't read Korean, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. where should I look for the download link on these pages?

Hello fellow Bell Galaxy s2 users,
I read tons of posts that said the stock kernel for our Galaxy s2 is not available to download from Samsung server. However, if you go to https://opensource.samsung.com/ and search I9100M, there is one file available for download.
Now, I don't know whether this is the kernel or something else entirely...... could somebody verify what this file could be?
Cheers,
I believe that file is the source code for our firmware. Unfortunately we cant just flash it to our phones. I'm not an expert on this but I think that it still needs to be compiled.
can't someone compile it then and post it? How hard can it be? or is there bigger problems than that?
Yes. I agree, please compile this! I really would love to have a flashable stock rom for my GT-I9100M.

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?

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.

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,

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.

I updated my sgs2 officially yesterday from ICS to jellybean 4.1.2...it was working good but I lost root...I searched the web to root it again and foung this website..
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-jelly-bean-android-4-1-14-1-2/
I successfully rooted it but to my bad luck I tapped on the supersu as mentioned in the video demonstration at the website and things went wrong..the supersu asked me whether to start normally or CWM recovery, I opted for CWM recovery...Now my phone is stuck at the yellow triangle..I can go to download mode only...I reflashed the same kernel but in vain...
Please help me to recover my phone as I need it badly...many thanks in advance.
Let me tell you that I leave in middle east and as I remeber it was updated to XXls8 or something.

Do you recommend to flash this rom instead of stock rom? But where from download? And how to flash?
Go back to stock first; it will give you a 'clean slate'. Getting your phone working normally/usable should be your only priority/thought at this stage. You can worry about flashing other roms/kernels once you've done that.

Thanks a lot MistahBungle and all who supported me...Thanks God I finally reflashed stock ROM which I downloaded from Samfirmware and it is working well.
May I request all those geeks to guide me to root the easiest way. Further I will request you people to tell me the Best ROM which support RTL...Bundle of thanks.
Good man. You're welcome Easy way to root is to flash the Odin version of any custom kernel which works with Android version of the stock rom you're currently running (Siyah & Dorimanx are but two, there are others); read the thread devoted to the particular kernel you want to flash to work out which build you need to use. Once you flash it you'll have a rooted phone with CWM.
'Best rom' threads are not allowed here; once you have CWM installed it's really easy to flash/try a bunch of roms & find one you like, it takes 5 minutes to backup or restore, if you find you don't like a rom you try, it's easy to go back to your previous setup & try another. Generally if you need things that are a 'bit fiddly' to 'just work' without dramas, you're better off sticking with stock. But you can check the threads of various custom roms to see if they support the features you need to use. You could always dual boot if the particular features you want to use only work with stock, yet you like a particular custom rom & want to use it as a daily driver.
