Hi,
I am scared to try to flash the I9100P with the I9100 custom ROM because it might brick!
Is it safe? I am planning to use I9100 ROM with CM kernel.

Every custom ROM, kernel or mods meant for GT I9100 will work perfectly for your phone (GT I9100P)
The only thing will not work is the NFC right?

Yes but there is a patch that will make NFC also work.
You need to search (advance search) Android development section for "NFC" in topics only
Thanks, actually my unit is I-9100 and the I-9100p version belongs to a friend. I am going to flash this with SuperNexus...:victory:
Nfc patch
I'm using supernexus 2 build 4 on my S2 nfc.
Some issues.
1. Cannot save photos on sd card.
2. Nfc patch gers installed but doesn't work.
3. Battery drain issues, sometimes.
4. Siyah kernel v 5 not working on build 4 was working on build 3
I have tried many ROMs but this is really the stable one.
Thanks to faryaab
I have switched to Neat rom 4.7 (with blue ginger plus theme) and I can say that, It's really battery saving rom with allmost all the s3 features.
Smart stay, multi window, pop up video, direct call. Saving photos to ext sd card.
To enable NFC you need to install a separate Mod. I haven't tried it as I don't use it.

Hey, quick question.
I have an s2 and it's rooted running an AKOP ROM. My girlfriend just bought one too, but Orange have sent her the newer i9100p with NFC. There's no official ICS upgrade either! Because it's different, can I still root it and flash say an AKOP ROM, or is that likely to damage it?
Cheers

You can flash any non i9100G variant i9100 ROM/firmware to an i9100P, but you will lose NFC if you do. (though there are allegedly ways to re-enable it out there on P models if you do this... Search for then)
Orange have released I9100PBLVP6 ICS. Find it at Samfirmware.com. Use CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 to root.

There are many jellybean ROM out there, just try them. If you don't like one, flash another one.
asking for best ROM is forbidden on XDA. Read the rules next time before posting.

Just out of curiosity... Why do you think Rootbox is the best? I for one am waiting until the AOKP team has added more options and optimization to their JB roms. Until they have done that, I will stay with RR 2.6.1 (ICS). In the meantime I will keep trying their JB roms in my dualboot setting.
U mean to say jb roms are not stable till yet
So which ics version are u using now 4.0.3 or 4.0.4
Please provide the link
And also does ur phn hang or lag now

There is nothing like best ROM. Everybody will have their own best ROM.
The issue about best ROM is always very subjective.
All I know is, there are good ROMs out there.
PS: I strongly believe if this kind of discussion should not continue on this thread, the moderator might close it down within the next few hours
Kk i am not asking any one for best rom
All i want is a bug free rom with users review. No harsh feelings for any developer

I'm not saying these roms are not stable. I said that I'd prefer a rom with more optimizations and functionality. JB is stil under heavy development. I will provide you the links, but I suggest you'd put a little more effort in searching throughout XDA.
I'm on Resurrection Remix 2.6.1 (Android 4.0.4)
and
Resurrection Remix 3.0.6 (Android 4.1.1 if I'm not mistaken).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
You'll have to search that thread for the download links.
If you want the most stable and bugfree experience, then flash a ICS based Rom. If you want to experiment, then you can flash a JB Rom, which you can also use as a daily driver by now (at least the latest CM 10 nightlies)
If you want to have the most customizations then Flash an AOKP based Rom like the Resurrection Remix 2.6.1 Rom which is ICS based. Since 3.0 it`s JB based however.
If you just want the vanilla Android experience without too much settings then you can of course try the famous Cyanogenmod 9 Rom, which is also great.
It took me quite a while to figure out what`s the best Rom for me. I settled for Resurrection Remix 2.6.1
In the end it`s up to you and what you like, that`s why there is no such thing as "the best Rom"
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.

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.

Yes it should...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes, you can flash ROMs and other packages form external SD.
Even with the stock kernel and the stock firmware 4.0.3?
Cause, I know there's some kernels that could brick the phone when you try to flash Roms with them.
The stock kernel is not that case, right?
Just remembering... My recovery mode is the stock. I use de clockworkmod only when I install it from the external SD card. So that's OK to install a ROM like cyanogenmod by this way?
I'm kind of afraid to mess things up
Thanks for all the help guys

I am at a loss here. I have searched and searched for a solution to my problem but to no avail!
Basically I have flashed CM10 on my S3 and also have Clockwork Mod recovery, I would like to go back to the stock rom with touchwiz ui on top. I have found guides online on how to flash stock roms using odin but I have a Mac and do not have access to a PC. I really need some guidance with this as cm10 is annoying me at this point and I would just prefer to go back to stock/out of the box rom. P.S. I did not back up my phone when flashing cm10.
