Hi
Currently i have a samsung galaxy s2 and i been looking through the forum for the last few days for a new rom but there is so many to choose from i have no idea what the best ones are ,
I also have a few questions that im not sure about.
I am on android version 2.3.5 do i have to use a certain rom for this?
I am on gingerbreadBukI3 will there have to be a specific type of rom i will have to use that will run with with this?
Oh and im currently using cwm
Thanks in advance
I'm no expert but I have flashed dozens of roms on my s2. 2.3.5 is your version of gingerbread. You can flash any rom that is in the development section for the gti 9100 . But make sure they are for your version of s2 (not at and t or 9100g) I new nothing about flashing these roms until I read all I needed to know in the forums. (PS some developers don't appreciate us noobs asking them questions that are simple to them but difficult to us because most of the answers have already been given in older posts and we should read up first) . Main thing about flashing roms is always read the instructions on the first page of the roms thread before asking questions on the thread. Hope I helped. (Study the gt-i 9100 forums carefully before anything and it will all come to you) happy flashing and you can pm me anytime if you get stuck as I am patient

Oh and cm7 is my favourite rom to use at the moment because its reliable. Cm9 will be excellent when its finished but its still under development

difference between android development and original development is simple. android development is roms basically with a slap on theme on it and original is well original.
read this thread here for better explanation between the two
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175660
as regarding unlocking bootloaders you do not have to as it is already unlocked..all you have to do is flash a cf-root kernel from chainfires thread.
here are links to help you better

above link is the chainfire thread to root and the bottom link read that first to get a better feel of rooting

I don't understand why you should sit here and wait for an answer when you can get it 2seconds after you ask Google

Hey guys, i'm a noob to the rooting/flashing rom world. i was going to wait for ICS to officially come out on att, but i'm tired of waiting.
my question is, do i need to root and then flash flappjaxxx rom? i see that in the descriptions, it says:
-Rooted with SuperSU included
does that mean i can just follow his instructions and my note will be rooted? or do i need to root first, and then flash?
thanks for any assistance!!
Did you see the sticky at the top of this section labeled "all in one noob guide"??? I think that may have what you're looking for. If you can't find it, you probably shouldn't flash. No offense meant by that, it's just that most problems people have and most bricks are caused by a lack of reading and following directions.

The Flappjaxx rom is already a rooted ROM. What you need to do is flash CWM using ODIN.
Pls refer to the "HOW TO" guide in the dev section. Everything you need to learn is there.
everyone's gotta start somewhere. thanks guys!!

That's right. But just a word of advice... before asking, always remember to do the reading first and research. Then if something doesn't make sense to you....thats the time you ask.
Yes, everybody does need to start somewhere, and that somewhere is reading as much as possible.

Sorry, thats not how it works. Its all written out for you already. As mentioned twice already, go to the general section and look for the thread "stickied" at the top with the title "sticky roll-up thread" which had all the guides you need, including the one you want right now
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Alright thank you for replying, but could you link me up to this thread/topic you are on about, I can't find the right one anywhere and it's confusing and a hassle to find, I need instructions to go from aokp mr 1 milestone 1 ( 4.2.2) back to Sammy stock rom (4.1.2) so could someone please just tell me or link me up to the specific thread or something please, sorry if I'm being a bit of a douche and a real hassle for you guys but I'm just not getting it.
Thanks once again,
Nick

Look at the top of this page. You will see...
> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q] GT-i9300 back to stock from aokp
You're in the SIII 9300,9305 forum, in the Galaxy SIII Q&A, and in your thread. Click on the first bit and you will see the General forum in the list. Click on that and read those stickies. (got a stick pin beside them)
Then you should probably spend some time looking at the other entries there to get used to how the forums are organised - will save you (and others) a LOT of time.

android restore through recovery

If you don't need a sammobile.com stock ROM, you don't want to return it to stock then. So your question really is "How do I restore a Nandroid backup?" ????
Or perhaps you're confused and you think a nandroid backup will take you back to full stock? It wont. Sammobile.com is the only way to return to stock. Nandroid backups only restore your ROM and DATA. They do not restore your recovery, bootloader, modem to stock.
So, either
1) You want to return to full stock, in which case you need to follow the guide we have pointed you to multiple times already
2) You're wasting everybody's time by posting one thing and meaning another.
okay thank you for explaining, and i am very sorry and wasting your time, i would like to flash my nandroid stock rom if i can, could you help me with this please ?
thanks again

That means you want to restore a nandroid backup that you took some time back . Just look up how to restore a nandroid back up and youre done but i strongly suggest going back to stock , rooting your phone and then then restoring the backup . or atleast properly flash a 4.1.2 custom rom after clearing all the necessary files and then restore your backup . but Flashing stock through ODIN and then rooting and then restoring is the best way to go i feel Good luck

Ah ok. Understood.
I think you should read the link in my signature "read before rooting". Its not a guide but has lots of information every rooted user needs to know
You should also be able to piece together what you want to do by reading it
