1. Yes, you need to wipe data/factory reset
2. Gapps means Google Apps. Gapps are not pre-installed on the Rom for some known reasons do you will need to flash it as well to get access to Playstore, Gmail etc

Technically no but you can flash CM9 and CM10 via Odin without been rooted. Although, your phone will be rooted after flashing the custom ROM

Dual Boot Resurrection Remix JB and Stock Rom

Hi,
I'm not sure this is the place but i'll go ahead and ask.
I'm running the resurrection remix and would like to use dual boot with stock, I found allot of threads about dual boot but I'm not sure cause I want the stock rom to sync with Kies is it possible? Since I'm replacing the kernel?
Thanx.

Yeah. It will work. have a look at those guides, I'm sure you will find them helpful
As I understand I will run the stock with siyah kernel (or it won't recognize the 2nd boot), will it connect to the kies software?

Why are you reluctant to try and see for yourself? All the info you requested has already been provided
I don't see any reason why kies should not see it, although that's dependent on the Rom itself.

You will need to make nandroid backup of RR, flash stock Samsung fimware, flash Siyah, clone 1st ROM to 2nd, flash RR as 1st and restore data of RR.

hey,
FYI i have read both of them and a few more which all say the same more or less,
Did not find anything about flashing 2nd boot as stock, i agree that one should search and try finding the answer alone.
But sometimes ppl ask after trying to find it alone, and instead of educating me if u know the answer why won't you just write it?
some ppl like being spoonfed...
thanx anyway i now on the right way!
Erez.
Success! Running the resurrection remix as primary boot and stock as secondary! All that for restoring some things from kies!
Thanks for the help you all!

{Q} Im a noob but I need confirmation

Gday,
Basically I've been reading through countless threads throughout the site involving flashing my Samsung Galaxy S2, I've came up with a very rough idea on how I'm going to do this and I am very sure I've got it under control but I've made this thread just to make sure I'm not going to ''brick'' me phone and and because I'm a noob.........
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2
Model Number: GT-19100T
Baseband Version: 19100TDULP4
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-19100TDULPB-CL710191
Build Number: IML7.DULPB
I do live in Australia and my Galaxy S2 was locked to the Carrier VODAPHONE but its been unlocked and now uses a TELSTRA sim....
Now my question I believe my phone is all stock and Ive chose the custom firmware I'm interested in using
[ROM][JB:CM10:HYBRD] PARANOIDANDROID [2.13,True HybridMode, Size&UI on PerAppBasis]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619582
So for me to be able instal this firmware i need to root my phone ? to put a custom kernel on it?
Ive searched through the forums and haven't really worked out what kernel I need?
Is this what i need to use to install the firmware I chose ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&page=617
Hhahaha
I know how to go bout instal the firmware its just the making the phone to let me is the problem????
Any help would be great!!!
And suggestions, i did think that maybe my model could not instal that firmware?
READ READ READ! there is no shortcut... but this is what I did...
READ READ READ! there is no shortcut... but this is what I did...
went Voda 2.3.3 to Telstra ICS using Checkfus to get .tar/.md5. Got sick of that, rooted with CWM. Then went NeatRom which has Siyah kernel. Crap data speeds, so pulled out modem from Telstra ICS rom (modem.bin), put that in which fixed data speeds... chucked CRT-off mod on for the hell of it.
1. You need to root your device first.
2. Then flash a custom kernel
3. Backup your present ROM
4. Download ParanoidAndroid and Gapps
5. Backup your important data
6. Flash ParanoidAndroid.
Done.
If you have any questions, let me know

the things you should always care about when downloading and flashing are:
1. Your phone model NO. Is it compatible with my phone? This is a very important question. Stuffs meant for GT I9100 are compatible with your phone whereas stuffs meant for GT I9100G are not compatible.
2. Your Android version
3. The base of your firmware or custom ROM. Unmodified firmwares are based on Samsung. Stock based custom ROMs are also based on Samsung. CYANOGENMOD, AOKP Miui are based on AOSP
4. Your Kernel. Most custom kernels are dependent on your Android version or the base of your firmware or custom ROM

As Jokesy said, just make sure you flash a ROM made for the i9100(T,M,P) and NOT the i9100G. It will kill your phone.
Also, if you flash a 4.0.4 ROM, make sure it has a custom kernel such as Siyah kernel. This removes the MMC_CAP_ERASE brick bug that so many have been hit by. It's associated with stock 4.0.4 Samsung ROM's, it just kills your phone when you wipe data/factory reset in stock CWM. Just a note for future flashing.
Sorry for the noob questions but IM just clearing stuff up before I go ahead with the flash.
Because model number is extremely important does it matter that my phone is GT 19100"T"

No mate, the i9100T/M/P are all linked with the international i9100. The i9100G has different hardware meaning the ROM's made for it won't work on the international i9100 and i1900M/P/T and vice versa. Good luck.
Yep all good so my Android version is 4.0.3 I just checked, I should be good to go I'll report back once I've finished thank you fellas ! IM not sure what that killa posted was talking about but IM just going to follow through with what you have said and hope it works

Modems deal with network signal, mobile internet and GPRS. Rarely need to change them unless you experience poor reception on your phone. Here is a link to a thread with a whole load of modems if you wish to have a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Modems do not have to match your kernel version, modems will work on GB, ICS and JB. They don't have to match the firmware on your phone, just in case you were wondering. Any other questions, don't hesitate posting here and I'll do my best to answer them.
oh awesome mate I really do appreciate the help as like I said I'm just confirming in me head before I give ths green light, ha there any particular way I need root my model of phone seems there's a few different ways ? thanks once again

Just had a quick search and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227762
The third or fourth post says you can use i9100 methods to root the i9100T. However, it will change the product code to i9100 (don't think this is a problem, just more of would it annoy you)?
You can use CF-Root which is very easy to use. Please dial *#1234# and post your results.
Nah doesn't worry me at all, is this.what your after

allshare looks like a Touchwiz dependent system app. It will not install.
I doubt it will work but you need to push it to /system/app then change the permissions to rw-r-r, then reboot.

You can use temporary unroot feature in Extweaks, if you are using Siyah, dream or Dorimanx kernel, in order to use Skygo.

1. Yes they will work for you.
2. Yes. download their .tar version and flash via Odin
3. After flashing the kernel, download extweaks from market. Use extweaks to temporarily unroot anytime you want to run Skygo.
Which kernal would you recommend?
