i have also wt19i , and from my experience yes it can be rooted and use a custom rom, i just did it last week , rooted and installed a custom rom and kernel.
but let me tell you that it was running smooth on the stock ics rom ,and also on the custom rom ,it starts lagging only when i install alot of apps that runs in the background , so try to keep that kind of apps to minimum.
best regards

Yes you can root and use custom roms, but only for locked bootloader and there are only a few.
If I were you I would go back to gingerbread, for this just flash the gingerbread ftf via flashtool, it's much smoother and better. Root it and enjoy

When i buy this wt19i a month ago...it appears to be 4.0.4...how can i downgrade?...is it possible?...if i still want to stay at ics...is there any custom roms that stable?..

Sure he won't loose warranty? Because rooting voids warranty and custom roms, too, but I'm not sure...

Technically, rooting the device voids the warranty.But, if you can unroot before sending it in for warranty, no big deal.

Yes that's right.
@OP you can use custom roms for locked bootloader, but if you have any problems with your phone's hardware and you want to send it to service flash the stock rom and let it unrooted

Root it n remove crapware
Root ur mob
remove some pre installed softwares which u dont use
and ur phone would be fine

IF U PUT CUSTOM ROM... SOME FEATURES MIGHT BE LAST ...CUSTOM ROM VOIDS WARRANTY .BETTER STOCK ROM IS BEST

Why can't you just unlock the bootloader. Would be fricking easy to install -no I don't like the word flash-custom roms

Flashing kernel.

Hello,

YOu can simply replace kernel if you are using any custom ROM on locked kernel.
Then you can simply copy and paste it (overwrite)
EDIT: As I know, this cant be applied when on unlocked bootloader (you havent noticed it before).
Yeah, well apperntly im outta luck i geus. My x10i is rooted + unlocked bootloader, but im running 2.3.3 gb.... No custom rom, about the kernel i dont know if its stock or custom, i would have to take i look at google to find it out.
Edited: And yeah, looking back it would indeed bin better if i posted this info in first post.
After all it looks that im gonna have to borrow a pc by a friend.

Yes, info is correct. Locked uses xrecovery, but unlocked needs flashtool & pc.

Best ROM

Hey so I'm coming from the i9000 section I'm very confident with flashing ROMS and mods and stuff like that but obviously every phone is different, what would be the best most stable ROM ? What I'm looking for
*stock styling (stock launcher like in 2.1)
*good battery life
*stability
*lots of features
*the slide to remove notification feature (this is probably my biggest ask, if there is a mod that can do this on stock firmware it would be great)
*clear instructions to check if bootloader is locked and if it is how to unlock it
*clear rooting and flashing guide thanks
By the way looking for this for mini pro

I would start with MiniCM7Pro by Paul-xxx from this link.
It looks close to stock Android Gingerbread and it doesn't require you to mess with your bootloader or a custom kernel.
Steps are:
Get Flashtool
Root the phone
Install CWM
Press the backbutton on kernel-logo to get into CWM.
In CWM do the usual wipes (factory-reset/data, cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats)
Then install the ROM from your sd-card and reboot
Thanks a lot! since it is on 2.1 can I just use a once click app method? To do this then use ROM manager to install cwm?

Don't have experience with ROM manager, if it works on stock 2.1 then it will probably install CWM fine, I've got a CWM install zip for xRecovery (I install xRecovery with flashtool ,then install zip from sd-card and choose the CWM-install zip)
It is in a thread here somewhere, can't remember where though.
After that just flash the ROM with it.
Thanks a lot if it isn't to much to ask what exactly would I need to unlock the boot loader for?

search for S1Tool, it will give you the information you need to determine if it is safe to unlock your bootloader. (basically, if you have an SEMC simlock certificate you should be ok, if it states unknown simlock certificate, you're more than likely to brick your phone) (and look on the sticker under the back-cover of the phone, if it's on or after (year)11(week)29 (11w29) there is a chance of hard-bricking your phone too)
If it is safe, there is an unlock-option in Flashtool, under the plugins-menu that should do the trick.
Thanks what's the advantages of having it unlocked?

You can install custom kernels and have a wider choice of ROMS to choose from for your phone.

I disagree, minicm9 works better then minicm7 in terms of speed and stability. Not to mention the UI of ICS is better then GB. All I have issue is with video playback (qualcomm's fault).

Lol, it is NOT Qualcomm's fault, they would have helped if it was possible. If anyone is to blame, it is Google, for choosing a newer SOC with more possibilities as base for ICS.

for me the best ROM is MINICM9. The only things that need to be ironed out are the Loudspeaker distortion, the earpiece sound bug while in a call and the lagginess when opening an app or someone is calling. Otherwise its perfect! (for me at least)
Thanks I just checked her phone tonight it was under the year week thing with right baseband and update version for miniprocm7 but didn't have access to a of so couldn't check sim lock, so assuming that's okay do I just connect it check unlock bootloader and run? Or is there anything else I need to know?

Help rooting my phone.

I want to root my Galaxy S2 and have ICS or Jelly Bean or the best possible. I have been reading guides and tutorials on how to do this. I don't want anything to go wrong or brick my phone. One guide said I should get a new kernal, custom rom and a new OS to maximise the performance possible. All of this is getting very confusing for me and I don't know which direction to go. There are also two popular methods of rooting a Galaxy S2 which is using super one click or flashing an insecure kernal and then rooting the s2 using odin. I don't know which method is better but I would like to keep all the data in my apps which can be done using titanium backup. I would also like to have clockwork mod just incase anything goes wrong. The guides also said the best custom rom is by cyanagenmod. Could someone push me in the right direction and tell me what I should do and what I shouldn't.

What ROM are you on right now. Could you please attach a screenshot of the about section of your phone so that its easier to hand you the links to correct kernel? Briefly, what you need to do is to search the cf root thread by chainfire, get the cf root closest to your kernel version, and flash it to gain root access. What exactly would you like? Stock or custom rom? ICS or JB?

You need root your phone so you can install cwm, with you can flash roms and other great stuff from devs, well iv tryied Xperience lite, Terra rom and now im downloading Zperience rom, so far all roms are good and fast, but their optons and other stuff are related to your owne interests so you should try a couple of them and decide which one is better for, and offcourse you should flash cybershot mod for your camera coz in stock ics camera sucks, this mod improves it
Thread closed...Thanks.
OP just read and test for yourself....
