Re: [Q] Can I flash back to an older
I've been checking this forum the last few days, and the amount of people posting 'help, my XXX device doesn't work with this recovery" blah lay blah is astounding. WTF people?! What planet did you Fools come.from?, seriously.
Edit: please help, this ROM doesn't work on my Sammy (,ridiculous plastic phone that my friends told me to buy cuz I'm a foolish child and can't make decisions for myself)
From my Evo LTE, yup.

Flashed Wrong Kernel Maybe? Help Please!

Hi everyone I am Sean, and I just got my ATT SGS2 Yesterday. I think I followed a rooting guide for the non ATT one. The rooting was successful but my WIFI is down with no MAC Address, also I cannot seem to get any custom rom working.
Is there a way to get the Stock ATT Kernel so I can flash and start over. Is there a rooting guide specificly for the ATT version?
Thanks ahead of time!

If u flashed the wrong kernel, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294574. Not trying to be mean, but it took me less then a minute of skimming over the Android development section to find this.
Here is the normal rooting guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301682.

Umm, Sorry I wasn't aware I should be looking in the Development section? Since that isn't the right section...?

Please read *before* you post a question. There is a lot of information available on the XDA I777 forums. Please read all the stickies in the general section, as well as the library sticky in the development section. You've been on xda-developers for several years and made many posts, so you *should* know the forum rules. People here will be glad to help you if you do your part first, but if you are looking to have your hand held, you will probably get little help.

It's just that your questions are already answered in sticky posts in both the general forum and the development forum. I thought it would be better if you wnet and read the answers there rather than taking the time to write the answers all over again.
You clearly didn't read if you went and flashed something not meant for your device without VERY explicit instructions on what is OK to flash and how to flash it.

Actually as I have already explained I did read plenty, I found nothing in the Q&A Section, which is where a solution to a "Question" should be.
And the Guide I followed which was from XDA never once stated that it was only for the International version. Nor did it say it would not work for the AT&T version.
I have been with this community a long time and have never had someone as rude or unhelpful as you. Please do not reply to posts if you are not helping in anyway.
Even though you may have read threads in the Q&A section, a simple search would have pulled up the IMPORTANT threads taht are located in the Dev section that would have answered your questions... and why are they in the Dev section you ask? Because, when flashing anything to your phone like a rom or kernel, its considered DEVELOPMENT and you would have know that if you would have read.
Now go read some more and search. Thread closed.

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

well, that is the forum and WIKI for your specific phone and model, it has a Q&A thread too, so best to post your Question and explore there, as answers will be correct and accurate and you should explore those other threads to understand and operate your phone better.
the posters on this Q&A, do not have such threads , thats why they post here.

Um, what? You said yourself your phone is an I9210. As TheATHEiST stated above, this is the forum for the I9100. Not the I9210.
The I9210 does not have its own forum, unfortunately. However, this thread was started in the general Android Q&A section. I would suggest you peruse that thread, and ask any questions you have there.

Hi, I previously rooted my s3 intl with an AOKP 4.2.2 Jellybean rom, but I am finding it slow.
I am stuck now as Kies wont let me update (it did before the AOKP). After fiddling and half starting the Heindall root method my phone is giving me funnies.
I have looked all over and can only find 4.1.2 root instructions.
What am I missing?

Hey! There's no 4.2.2 stock rom out yet, we only have up to 4.1.2. currently. Your best bet is to flash a stock 4.1.2. rom with the Odin tool and then factory reset so your phone boots as Odin doesn't do a factory reset whilst flashing.
For your next questions, we have a Q/A forum here (click), which doesn't require a specific post count. The developer section isn't for everyday questions.
