Hi all, a couple of quick questions which I hope someone can help me with before I continue.
At the moment I have a stock galaxy s2 which is running Android 4.0.4 I am looking to load twrp recovery but cannot find any info whether this is safe from the brick bug on 4.0.4. I believe with cwm recovery I need to make sure I load the correct one to avoid this, I don't know if twrp had the same issue?
Also, I'm looking to flash Infamous Resurrection ROM, does anyone know if this or any other ROMs support HSDPA+ or can I expect most to do that?
Thanks in advance for any help you're able to offer.

in order to get rid of the infamous brick bug( on v4.0.4) u can root ur phone using the Siyah kernel v5.0.1(.tar file flashable with Odin), so that it will root ur phone and install the latest Cwm recovery and also siyah is safe from Brick bug issue
after that u can install RR v3.1.2 or RootBox v3.2 on ur phone for HSDPA+ support
Is hspda+ different from hspa+? I thought all roms we have supported hspa+

Hi
I really hope there are some people, who can help me
I have rooted my Galaxy s2 and installed cyanogenmod by rom manager, now I have no service on my phone.
I am not that expert in custom rom and rooting, so I hope some people can help me with this issue.
1000 X thanks in advance.

I think there are a lot of problems with Cyanogen on Galaxy sII. Did you back up your previous rom?
Try a different rom.
Or you can faf around with radio's it sounds like the radio software is not installed or wrong.
Plus go to the Cyanogen Forum for help just google it...
Hi
I am bit scared to use randomly solution from google, hope that someone know exact how to fix this problem on galaxy s2.
I think is something about installation of the radio software as u said.
Cyanogenmod should work proberly with the stable version.
Hope someone know how to, fix it ?
You should flash a new modem in Rom manager.. open rom manager go to codeworkx and flash KI3 or KI4
btw, this is not the right forum to post questions
Hi rg90
Thanks for the answer, I am not fully aware of the terminology, so appologise my stupid questions.
I have the program ROM Manager premium, I can Flash clockworkMod ? Is that what is you mean ?
What he means is. Try flashing the ki3 or ki4 modem. They can be found in Rom Manager under Download rom > Codeworks.
If it doesn't help. Do a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache) and flash CM again.
Next time post in Q & A forum.

do you have /efs folder backup? Go to phone information and check is your IMEI still there. If not then you need to restore your efs .
Hi
You right my IMEI number is not there, what is efs and how to do it ?
Hi Volapyk

Moving to Q&A
same problem
i understand i have to flash it but do I flash it using the cwsm program on my phone? Or do I boot it in cwsm mode or whatever it is? And flash it there I'm sorry guys still abit new to this
by cyanogenmod does he mean ICS 4.0.4 ( I downloaded the Ressurection 1.9.1 Rom off of galaxys2root.com it works well, especially awesome with SPB Shell 3D) Now i had service after everything was all said and done but no internet so I used wifi for abit but no more wifi, so i tried restarting and then i lost all the service i had.
I had the same issue after flashing cm. Make sure that you have the correct apn settings for your network. I'd not add them and reboot.

what are my apn settings supposed to be? i have bell.ca or bell.internet.ca
If i go to mobile networks i can only find Rogers CAN Mobile network and because of my sim card i cant use it.. darn lol
I'm not going to be much help there I'm afraid as mine were Vodafone UK which I found on their forum.
Otherwise if you backed up first, restore your back up, and there is an app in the market which backs up your apn settings and you can restore them once you've flashed CM.

Hi all,
im new to this so please forgive me if this question has already been posted previously!
Ive been searching for countless hours on the web and different forums to try and find a solution!
My prob is this,
I rooted my fone using Odin and what i thought was a proper CFW but once i downloaded ROM manager off the Google store and tried to install the latest cyanogenmod 9, i constantly keep getting a message coming up saying "E: failed to verify whole package signature"
Firstly, I am confused whether to downgrade back to stock firmware and then try to upgrade from that; or, find a way to upgrade to cynanogenmod 9 straight from what i have installed ATM.
My fone specs are:
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100P
Android 2.3.4
Baseband: I9100PBVK12
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100BVKH2-CL453351
[email protected] #2
Build number
Gingerbread.BVK13
Can someone please help me out with this in plain english as i am constantly running into a brick wall trying to figure it out!!!
Many Thanks

Where does it say anything about ROM manager?
What did you use to root your phone? Also can you get into cwm recovery by holding down volume up, home and power buttons when u turn your phone on?
I see you have the i9100p, I'm afraid I know nothing about that version but this will help people pinpoint the problem
sorry guys i used Rom Manager to download latest version of CWM
Rom manager on Samsung phone uses a kind of virtual recovery from what I understand.
You have to have flashed a root kernel which I'm guessing you have as you say you used Odin. What did you flash with Odin?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Not to sure what i flashed with as it was quite a while ago, i following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419102 to try an install CM9 now lol the noob proof edition
OK so I had a read and the i9100p is the same as the i9100 only with nfc see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480245
Ok this should work for you.
-Download cm9 resurrection edition from the official thread + the latest nightly and put the nightly on you internal SD.
-Flash cm9 resurrection edition via Odin as per instructions.
- when its booted up, turn your phone off and enter recovery using the combo I mention above.
- flash zip from SD and pick the latest nighty.
Should get you up to speed, good luck
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Thanks a bunch mate! Appreciate u helpin!
ive read that its not wise to use titanium backup to restore a backup after installing cm9, is this true?
No problem
If you use titanium for user apps only and not system apps you won't have to much of a problem. But other than that if you do find problems with apps after restore just a wipe of the app data from settings should do the trick.

ok thank u!
big problem tho, i was flashing with odin and its froze about 3/4 of thw way through, have i bricked it??
I'm honestly not sure ive never had that happen to me.
Are you sure its just not taking longer than expected? I'm out atm so I can't have a search for you but if I remember right there is a 'have I bricked my phone' sticky on one of the s2 forums you might find some advise there. Sorry I can't help more

To install cm10 you need root access, go check cfroot by chain fire. Gapps is basically your Google now etc. With a custom recovery, just flash the cm10 and Gapps and you'll be good to go.
Stock kernel is subjective with very little difference. All kernels work for me so it's not so much of an issue deciding which is better.
The best rom is the one you try for yourself. Rom comparisons are not allowed on xda
Latest stock will be depending on whether you want android version 4. 1.1 or 4.0.4
Wrong section btw, should be posted in the q&a

You can safely ignore that error.
CWM in the apps drawer is the UI interface of the CWM recovery (accessed by pressing the Vol Up+Home+Power when booting up). CWM recovery works without a hitch.

All options are there when you boot into recovery, it is just the app that is incompatible, meaning a couple of the options won't work directly from the app....you need to boot into recovery to do those things.....don't worry, it's all there.
I personally prefer the older recovery as it doesn't use the blob method of backing up. And I'm used to the old way!
I have Gingerbread which is (according to my understanding) what is considered 'stock'
I downloaded CM10 and tried to install it using CWM but after a reboot I got infinite CWM booting (reboot back to CWM, reboot back to CWM forever)
Got told that it was because I didn't have stock and I needed to go
[MY CURRENT ROM] ==> [STOCK ROM] ==> [CM10]
but my current rom IS STOCK ROM, cause it is gingerbread...
then I was told that after the [STOCK ROM] stage I had to upgrade to [STOCK ROM] of android 4.x
cause that was the *ONLY* (is it?) way to also upgrade to boot loader which is needed to host the CM10 in my phone,
but I was too afraid to loose root
(thus loosing the option to use CWM, which I had no interest in..)
so I gave up on this path
>>> Could I get stock 4.x for my phone and use Mobile Odin Pro to root it and then install it safely without the fear of loosing root apon installation?
Instead I tried upgrading Gingerbread to paranoid of the same android prefix (2.x), since my gingerbread android rom is 2.3 and paranoid android rom is 2.5 there should not be any more any of the
"bootloaders upgrade only by installing stock roms" nonsense anymore..
so I went here:
http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/i9100g
Since I do have Samsung Galaxy S 2 GT-I9100G
and tried to install paranoid via CWM the same way - it let me back to infinite CWM booting once again....
then I was told that (from some unknown reason) it is because I didn't try to install it over stock rom or some other nonsense...
but GINGERBREAD IS STOCK... --__--'
I am clueless right now...
all I want is to get out of this useless crashy gingerbread into something more modern, what am I doing wrong? why do I always end up in infinite CWM booting?
what the tutorials I'm following are missing that I keep not doing which makes me end up in this situation every rom I try to install?
what is it, that one magical step that I don't do, that solves everything up and stops screwing up my installations attempts?
please.. help.. ty..
Do a clean upgrade through samsungs pc software(i believe it is or was called kies), cm10 is based on android 4.1.2 so you should have this version of stock rom installed since the rom is dependent on kernel which is changed with new versions of android. You cant run jelly bean rom with gingerbread kernel
Stock rom is every rom for your device officially provided by manufactorer not just the one you got your phone with, I think that you might have been mislead

Thank you for the response, but if I do the upgrade using the samsung software for that... won't I loose root?
I am not familiar with Samsung development but there should be root available for all of the android versions but yes you will have to root again probably
I am currently on my phone but if you search xda for sgs2 root tutorials you should find a proper one

can anybody please please tell me if when I upgrade my rooted gingerbread rom via samsung's method to 4.x android rom - WILL I LOOSE CWM on recovery boot?

Basically, what you need to do is to flash latest TWRP custom recovery via Odin to your phone.
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-6-3-0-touch-recovery-t1943592
After that you don't really need to root even if they tell you so in most general guides. You can move straight on to downloading the custom ROM you wanted to your SDcard, boot into recovery and flash zipfile from there.
Make sure you understand what you do otherwise chances are to brick your device. Follow guides exactly, never flash a file not intended for your specific device.
