Hi,
I have a sgs2 with stock and siyah v5.0.1 and after I flash a rom (primary or secondary) my sim gets locked.The weird thing is that i flashed roms before(a month ago) and no problem. Anybody knows why?
Details: My phone was locked in Bouygues,but i unlocked last year when i got my phone...since then i installed custom roms,and in august i intalled a stock firmwire from sammobile (unlocked) and i rooted with siyah and i have flashed many second roms since then and i've got no probleme since now when i flashed Lion Rom.

Firstly sorry for the noobish question...
I want to flash Lite'ning Rom (XWKE7) but because I'm on XWKE2 (rooted) will there be a problem?
Or do I just flash the Rom and that's it?
Thanks in advance
No. Just install on top. Will automatically update you to KE7.
I haven't flashed my SGS2 yet, but from experience there shouldn't be an issue. You may have to do a wipe (removing applications, contacts etc) but since the firmware is what's being replaced, the firmware shouldn't matter
I just flashed my first rom on the GS2 on monday
It was really easy, Im using lite'ning 1.0 right now, will be updating to 1.1 asap.
I removed the simcard as advised and then used Odin to flash the rom.
Only took a minute and went flawlessly...
Hi Guys

Can I install Litening Rom v2.2 over my stock XWKE7
Good day all, I have a real nooby question regarding installing the Latest Lite'ning Rom V2.2 XXKG1 on my unrooted, brand new South African Vodacom/ Vodafone branded stock XWKE7 (out of box firmware).
Do I need to flash anything prior to flashing Litening Rom V2.2?
Or do I have install From the frst version and work my way upto 2.2?
I also can't seem to find Stock African Galaxy S II firmware anywhere - Would any XWKE7 firmware do?
I can find lots of info it just doesn't seem to tie up and all the various kernels and version numbers are making my head swim. Thank you in advance for any help

Yes - you have to start by flashing 2.0 - then you need to install the 2.1 update and then the 2.2 update.
Follow this to flash the 2.0 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
Then follow this to upgrade 2.1 and 2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15643453&postcount=5041
Thank you very much for the fast and prompt response. I'm going to do as described right away. Thank you again.

Hi Guys
I have recently bought new SGS II phone. I have been using HTC Desire and got more than 1 year of flashing experience almost every week i used to flash new ROM or updates to MIUI Rom. Touch wood i never bricked my phone.
I have rooted my SGS 2 with CF root method. Flashing Samsung device seems to be confusing me. There are so many kernels, Firmwares and even themes are dependent upon which firmware i am running.
I used to flash any rom for HTC desire without worrying about which firmware i originally got.
My carrier is T-mobile UK and running Kernel 2.6.35.7 KG2, can i flash any latest kernel or i need to match anything ?
My firmware is I9100BOKG1, can i update this to any firmware or it must be from UK and same carrier ?
Basically i do not understand what i can do and what i can not. I have searched for these all information everywhere on google but can not find any satisfactory answer.
Expert guys please help me.

Read and learn is the only way .

No flash anything bar ICS.
My firmware is I9100BOKG1, can i update this to any firmware or it must be from UK and same carrier ?
If you flash a kernel you will lose TMobile update path .
You can simply upgrade via the stock roms thread which debrands your phone or wait for TMobile upgrade but root may throw that out as its not the kernel that came with the phone .
Best solution is to read post one full of how to stickies .

To maintain ICS and fix these problems, you may do a factory data reset; if you want to GB, flash with an official Samsung program an official package to restore GB.
hi there,
I have just purchased a Samsung Galaxy s2 UK unlocked from a friend, the kernel says 3.0.15-i9100xxlp2-cl57619 [email protected] #3 which i believe is a beta unstable version of ICS.
This version is very buggy i cant even add images to contacts, i have tryed flashing other kernels which just lock up the phone, plus i cannot upgrade this via kies "kies your device does not support software upgrading via kies"...
my question is what kernel do i need to flash onto this with either a stable ICS version or a stock gingerbread so i can update via kies...
Regards

u can try the stock XXLPQ or XXLP7 kernel's which r very stable one's so far
chhers bud i will give it a whirl.....

Wipe cache/data and do factory reset.
cheers....... all good now
