AND IT STILL DIDNT WORK
Because you flashed a kernel for Epic 4G, then you tried to revert it with tutorial for i9100. Am I right?

In addition to that - are your profile details accurate? Are you a T-mobile subscriber in the USA?
If yes, then you used not just 1 incorrect guide, but 2.
The T-mobile Galaxy SII is the SGH-T989. The forum for that phone is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329.
The I9100, Epic 4G Touch, and SGH-T989 are all totally different phones. The Epic 4G Touch is specific to Sprint, and the SGH-T989 is specific to T-mobile. Stuff between the two are totally NOT compatible.
The I9100 is a phone that works in the US on ATT and T-mobile (sort of on T-mobile, until T-mobile finishes their network upgrade), but isn't actually sold in the USA by any of the big 4 carriers.

No this is a sprint device.

Sprint device is still not an I9100. If your device is from Sprint, then you have the Epic 4G Touch, and are in the wrong forum. You can double-check the model number under the battery.
If the model reads as "SPH-D710", then you for sure have an Epic 4G Touch, and the Epic 4G Touch forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
The Epic 4G Touch is CLOSE to the I9100 in terms of CPU/GPU hardware, but they have totally different radio hardware.
You should stay within that forum when looking for stuff for your device, and out of this one. (for the I9100)

I think you're in the wrong place anyways. the sph-d710 is a completely different model of the Galaxy SII than the i9100. There is no such thing as a i9100 sph-d710.
The GT-i9100 is the international versions of the Galaxy SII, and the sph-d710 is the Sprint version of the Galaxy SII, also known as the Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4g, or the Samsung Within.
I actually don't even see a forum for the Epic Touch 4g in xda, which is weird. There's a forum for the Epic 4g, which is the version that has a hardware keyboard... So I don't know where you should be, actually.
EDIT: I found the forum for the Epic 4g Touch - you want to be in THIS forum

First thing to check is the model of the phone. Look on the label under the battery. If it says "GT-I9100", then you're in the right place.
HOWEVER, since you say that the phone was modded to work on Verizon, there is about 0.001% chance that it is an I9100, since the I9100 is a GSM phone, and Verizon is a CDMA network.
The phone could possibly be an SPH-D710, which is the Sprint GS II, (aka Epic 4g Touch), or maybe an SCH-R760, which is the US Cellular GS II. These are the only two CDMA versions of the Galaxy SII that I know of. If it is one of these, for SURE DO NOT USE any firmwares or kernels from this (I9100) forum.
The Epic 4g Touch has a separate forum, and the SCH-R760 doesn't have a forum on XDA at all, at the moment. But I did find related threads for this model in the Epic 4g Touch forum.
how do i flash my phone
i have a samsung galaxy s2 sch-r760 that i bought on ebay. i was told it was flashed to verizon, but it didnt work. it is currently on u.s. cellular which is cdma plz help
My iphone on tmobile pre paid is the worst service and net I ever had.I had a touch pro 2 on boost and I loved it. no problems at all. Is it possible to get the s2 on boost?? Would I easily be able to do it myself?
Considering boost mobile uses sprint network, the i9100 is not compatible. The sprint SGS2 may be compatible, but AT&T and Tmobile SGS2 wont work for boost mobile.
Note: There are a ton of SGS2, it would be better to be specific on which one you are talking about. (i9100, i9100G, i777, SPH-D710, T989(
A sprint galaxy s ii epic 4g touch, yes you can flash that to boost. A i9100 or any other gsm galaxy s ii. No..
Ok good. I know the gsm and cdma cant be mixed. Im getting a sprint s2 within a month and I wanna be ready to flash and unlock. or do I just have to unlock?
Anyway is there a tutorial? what are my options and what is most recoomended?

I'd advise you to ask your Sprint Galaxy S II (aka "Epic 4G Touch") questions in the relevant forum for that device, which is the Epic 4G Touch forum.
As already stated, this forum is specific to the I9100.

The sarcasm is a bit thick there, buddy. I was only suggesting you post on the relevant forum because you'd be much more likely to get someone who knows the answer there, since Epic 4g Touch users are much more likely to see it there, instead of here.
I had the Evo 4g for about 1.5 years and it was a great phone. It started having problems so I decided to upgrade to the Samsung S2 on Sprint. Ever since I got it I have low signal most everywhere, can't connect to 4g unless I'm out under open sky, and my phone flips to roaming a lot. I have updated everything but still no fix. I'm rooted but on stock ATM. Please I need some suggestions for fixing this with tweaks or a better rom. Specs below.

You're currently in the forum for the I9100, which is a different device than yours.
You want the Epic 4G Touch forum.

Sorry, I will repost on correct forum.
The question is simple. My old Fascinate screen is slowly breaking and I got a free phone so I figured I try. Besides the obvious and unmentionable would it require a custom rom or flashing for it to be accepted by verizon or could I used forced verizon roaming on current rom?

This phone (the I9100) is a GSM phone that doesn't even work on Sprint's CDMA network.
Go to the forum for the Sprint Galaxy S II (also known as the Epic 4G Touch) to ask your question... though I think the answer is "maybe", if you can find a device to use as a donor for the ESN number. And on top of that, I don't think you'll get very good data speeds with a Sprint phone on the Verizon network. But I'm not positive on how CDMA phones work though.
