[newbie question] Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 - latest rom - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems that I've posted in wrong forums several time, so I hope that I am in the right forum this time.
Please what is the latest updated rom for my phone and where exactly I can download it.
Sorry if my question looks silly but really confused a lot with all these forum and sub subs forums
So please be patient and help me.
Also what is the suitable tools or software to be used to deal with my phone as I am using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

Go to www.sammobile.com, register and go to firmware section.

Ok.
But why there isn't any download link for kies?

There's no need for kies, you'll have to use odin to flash your s2. See the guides section for information or search in xda stickies.

Try this: download supersu zip from chainfires webpage and flash it in recovery and reboot. You should have root now

Someone help me with my new galaxy SIII

First off my English isn't perfect so its hard for me to understand how some things work.
I have a galaxy SIII I9300 4.1.1.
Can you upgrade a galaxy S3 4.1.1 to 4.2.1?
I want CM 10.1 on my galaxy S3 but i need version 4.1.1.
I once tried putting CM 10.0.0 on it but it wouldn't work, So i searched it up on google and it said i need a dutch version of Cm10.0.0 or something( My phone is dutch)( I am dutch )
If someone can help me i would realllllllyyy appreciate it. i have been youtubing and googling for a long time but cant find anything that really helps me.
So if you're that one nice guy that like to help me! Leave a post with your skype and we will talk!
Since you have an I9300, you need to be in that section. This is for the Tmobile US version T999. I will move your thread and hopefully someone in your section will be able to help you.
Good luck.

Owh okay! Thanks!
From what I heard, International version of galaxy s3 is unable to get cm10 because Samsung hasn't release the hardware or software codes yet? I may be wrong or even way off but something along those lines

ehhhh i think so? :laugh:
If you want to install cgm 10.1 on your S3 you can download the zip file of the latest version of the Rom and if you have already rooted your S3 you have to install that zip using the recovery.
If you haven't rooted your s3 you have first of all to root it.
Where did you read that you need a particular version of the original rom to install cgm?

Have you used triangle away to reset the counter? it's important for the warranty!
So here you can find information about version 10.0 of cgm for i9300. Read the last posts to download the last release of the cm10 rom.

- Don't tick repartition
- Make sure repartition isn't ticked

Ok i did it, And now i'm entering downlaod mode. And it says:
Custom binary download: No.

Okay,

CWM is volume up home button and power button right?

To boot recovery you have to use vol up + home + power. Is cwm installed?

[Q] How to reroot cyanogenmoded sgp4

I have a small problem where I rooted my player using zergrush exploit when it was running android 2.3.6. It is now running cyanogenmod 10.0. the problem is some rooted apps work with it (trickster mod), others don't(certaint avast antivirus features). Is there a way I can re root it to fix this problem or another way to fix this.

you could try to reinstall the su binary or look in the list of apps in superuser and see if you have denied su access to any of them whether it be by accident or not
also for future reference, please post all questions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283877
i installed koush's super user instead and that seems to have fixed everything. sorry about posting on the wrong fourm.

thats ok
oh ok. well post on the thread of the link i gave you if you have anymore problems
I know this has been resolved but zergrush was a GB exploit that got fixed by ICS and later so maybe you would be better if you found a root method like motochopper, it would work.

He is running cyanogenmod, there is no way he would need an exploit. He just needed to try another su frontend app.

First of all,don't use such big font.No one will care more if you change the font size.Try to keep the normal size,and only use big fonts when you have to express something important in a long text.Anyway,try downloading a different version of CM,or try another Kernel.And what ROM and Kernel are you using now?

Stop bumping this thread, re-download the ROM.
You can go stock and flash a custom kernel before you flash CM.
