Which rom is better for S2G - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

as Samsung till now don't update GT-I9100G with gelly bean. I decided to flash a custom rom
I downgrade as you advised me to ICS 4.0.3 KSA but I still have Insane chip
Now I must flash a CWM to flash the custom rom, It's safe to do this now as I will wipe data from it (CWM)
1-What is the appropriate CWM to my phone? and how can I flash it Via odin or Via Recovery mode?
2-I'm living in KSA which rom i choose [JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies or [JB 4.1.2][PA2.55][AOKP-ML1][CM10]P.A.C True All in 1 ROM? as I need mobile to read and write arabic without any external applications.
3- I had a problem "my phone is always open but when some one try to call me it say mobile is closed" Is that from the rom cause of different modem in rom or how can i fix this (this problem not from the carrier as i try the sim in Nokia mobile and worked fine).

Cheers for now!

As you reply with this you could answer my question then tell me what you want

first, u have a 'G' model (I9100G) which is quite Different Hardware wise fro I9100 international version and its variants M/P/T etc, so any advice given to u here with some gross oversight might hardbrick ur phone for sure ma8
hence i have given u the appropriate link for ur model (I9100G) in my previous post, so visit there and see
u have a 'Q & A' thread for i9100g there also, so try posting ur issue there for better results.
Hope its clear for u know

Thread closed.
Remember guys, ROMs/kernels etc are all subjective so there really is no "best ROM" only ROMs that work best for you

Did you flash a custom recovry, such as CWM? From what I've learned here, the rolling recovery is usually
caused by using the wrong CWM.
For the Galaxy Tab 10.1, retail wifi model (7510), CWM version 5.5.0.4 usually recommended to prevent
rolling recovey.

The problem still on, , any one have a solution please.?
Wish I could help you dody, but I'm a noob at this.
I can tell you that the CWM 5.5.0.4 file and the Root file I used worked fine on my tab (7510, US, retail, wifi only).
I have them stored in my Drop Box if you'd like to try them.
Hmmm youtube link should post that so we have a idea what you have done.
There lots of posts here on this subject.
You have choices depends on what want to do like root, custom Rom or reflash a stock Rom.
See http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
Recovery – ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 – Galaxy Tab 10.1
Or for stock see http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Or search and read lots
See my post that I had same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29624575&postcount=57

you are totaly right i made a wrong post .. i even didnt say it is 7500
this is the youtube link :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QbfASbQMMI&feature=g-user-u
actually i am new on the tab and android world .. i want to go for the stock rom i think it will fix all .. the problem is that i searched for stock rom but probably searched wrong and didnt find it.
i now searched at sammobile and found this : http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P7500&pcode=KSA&os=1&type=3#firmware but i dont know which version and downloaded the first one .. the recovery mode has been fixed but the tab stuck at samsung logo
EDIT: Fixed fixed ... thanks alot it is working now

You're on siyah kernel. If you wish to keep your current kernel, you can install a cm10 rom released before 02 oct or JB ROM that hasn't used the latest mali drivers since siyah hasn't incorporated those yet.
The good news is you won't hard brick your phone..siyah is a safe kernel.
Look around the various ROM threads in the android development section, see if one catches your fancy and enquire if its compatible with siyah..since recommending ROMs goes against forum rules.
Also, most ROMs will include a kernel installation while installing them. Long story short, if you aren't insistent on keeping your current kernel you can flash pretty much any JB ROM built for the i9100. Be careful not to install any ROM for a different variant of the phone.
If you have any questions you can ask here or feel free to PM me.

Just need advise, is this siyah ? is this good ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798266
or this is better option ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810042
Also how can I know that my phone has CWM Recovery ? Is there any way to find out or by looking at my settings screenshot above - it means I have CWM Recovery ?

If you are running siyah kernel, then yeah, you have cwm
Thanks..
I know it totally depends on personal preference but I just need advise, is this siyah ? is this good ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798266
Is this the latest version of jelly bean by siyah ? new to forum and searching a lot but little confused with so many ROMS available...
or this is better option ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1810042
Siyah isn't a ROM, its a kernel. What you've posted are both ROMs. The first will run on your current kernel, the second will install the CM kernel. So you can try either one of the two. Look through at least the last couple of pages and see what others think on both forums. That might give you a better idea if its right for you. Else you can always flash the other one.
Good luck!

So based on the step to go in to recovery mode:
"Reboot into CWM Recovery mode by pressing Vol Up + Home + Power button (Release only power button when you see Samsung logo)"
I am doing this but I only see samsung logo with i9100 and it goes away then comes back in 5 sec then goes and comes back again... tried several time but cannot go into recovery mode, why ?
Update: I have successfully installed the Jelly Bean 4.1.1 on i9100: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798266

Are you sure your flashing the right ROM for your device? Bare in mind that you've got an I9100G phone.
I refuse to help on the basis you cant be bothered to use a real topic title.
Sorry about my Thread title as you can see it was my first thread ill do better with my title on my next thread. Anyways if someone has a link to a website/thread where i can download roms for my GT-I9100G i would be forever grateful. Thanks.

Topic titles should be descriptive not silly generic ones like "hlp plz" that dont tell people browsing forum anything about topic.
To grab stock sammy firmwares for your device you can get them via http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/.
Just put the main rom file in PDA section of ODIN and flash it. Then go back into download mode and flash custom kernel, again via ODIN.
Or to get custom ones....

Below are some examples of common types of posts and where they belong
Q&A and General Discussion Thread:
"What kernel gives the best battery life with this ROM?"
"Is Nova launcher compatible with this ROM?"
"The battery life for this ROM is off the chizarts! (see attached screenshots)."
"The battery life for this ROM is total crap! (see attached screenshots)."
"I just flashed this ROM and my GPS doesn't work. :crying:"
Development Thread:
"Anyone else having problems with the new cellular data toggle?"
"I keep getting FC's from SystemUI. Any thoughts?"
"I selected the green battery icons in Aroma but it installed the blues ones (I checked twice)."
"I just flashed this ROM and it bricked my device! "

[Q] Need help rooting phone

Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100(T) Vodafone
PDA: I9100TDVLSM
PHONE: I9100TDVLS3
Android Version: 4.1.2
Kernel Version: 3.0.301-889696 [email protected]#3
Build Number: JZO54K.I9100TDVLSM
I'm having trouble working out what files I need to root my phone as there are so many variations, I don't plan on installing a custom rom I just want superuser access. There does not seem to be the correct kernel version for my phone in this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671
The closest one I think would be GT-I9100T_DUKF2_insecure is that correct as I don't want to brick my phone if there is a chance using the wrong kernel as I don't have a spare one to use until I get it fixed. I have seen people suggest using I9100 instead and flash the modem but I don't want to do that or is this the only way?. I would have posted this in the kernel topic but I don't have the user permission to do so.
I will be using this guide http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/
Aside from the rom manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EwMiwiY29tLmtvdXNoaWtkdXR0YS5yb21tYW5hZ2VyIl0. Are there any other recommended apps that need to be installed after the rooting process
I'm only going to say two things :
1. Search for PhilZ kernel.
2. Don't install ROM manager. It's a safe bet to brick an i9100.
Sent from my GT-I9100: Powered by Dorimanx, running RootBox
I've got 2 more.
1) Stick to xda threads.
2) Search in the HUGE australian thread sticked in Q&A.
Sent from...this is not even my S2
I've got another one:-
If you can't work out how to root this phone without making a thread in Q&A given it was released two years ago, I'd question whether you should be messing with your phone in the first place. Read some threads (which people attempt to circumvent by posting threads like this; refer to my sig as to what happens to these people), settle on a method. It's not rocket surgery.
Edit - And another - If you're scared of bricking your phone, just don't go there. The moment you root your phone, kiss goodbye any expectation of warranty service.

I can work it out I just wanted some verification to determine if I was correct about what secure and insecure kernel I needed before I do this that will allow me to root the phone with out having to flash a modem onto it. I have settled on the method this one. This I why I posted under the Q&A section to get help on my understanding not be redirected to a different thread or told that I should not do this.
