Good morning mates,
I installed few days ago the S5830XWKSD [04.11.2011][Android 2.3.5].
It was described like a very good rom but I don't find it so great and I want to flash it.
Before changing it I would like to have some comments on the rom in subject and any suggestion about a good stock rom.
Thanks to all for your comments

No you can go direct
I can say my experience. I jumped from froyo 2.2.1 to gingerbread 2.3.3 and then 2.3.5.
Probably you can flash directly to 2.3.5.
But It's better wait for a confirmation from more expert people.
As said before, yes, it can be done directly to 2.3.5.
The story is different if you want to DOWNGRADE to froyo.

Thanks for your help. I'll upgrade one by one.
Also please note that We're not as experienced as you so
some easy, stupid questions is able to us a very difficult.
Also i've read some problems occur after direct upgrade. Thats why i asked for.
There are many foolish data exist for android. It's hard to choose one to beleive.
two fast questions before flashing the ks9, do I have to make an hard reset before and after installing a new stock rom or just after?
Do I have to make a battery calibration after installing a new rom?
Thanks

I used both methods to change my roms and I found the one package the easest way to upload the files with Odin.
I don't think you can have problem If you use the one package method.

Let say my experience,
I passed from froyo 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 using a multipackage and from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 and to 2.3.6 using a one package.
You can do the same and avoid any risk.

Hello,
3 weeks ago,I got a GT-19100G galaxy s2.Pretty happy with it,everything is great except for TW of course So I need advice at whether I should get the official ICS update when its released in march(also thinking about giving the LB leak a try) which will use TW as far as I know or root my phone and flash the CM9 and get andy's costum ICS.Andy's ICS looks pretty nice but I don't wanna root my phone specially that I never rooted any device before(my previous device was nokia n81 8gb LOL).Or maybe I should just wait for the official release and get some sort of ICS themes or something.I'm currently running Android 2.3.6 baseband I9100GDZKK1 and Kernel 2.6.35.7.So what ya think ?
root..flash CM9..after ICS offiaclly released..flash back stock rom and get OTA..easy right??
Would be easy if I knew what the hell is OTA
Edit:Oh,I googled it.Its over the air.Well,why would I root it if I will flash back stock ROM again in 2 weeks ?
Personal view would be wait for ICS then wait for the modders to mod the official release .

I was thinking about that too...I think I'll just do that But just to be on the safe side,is it completely safe to root my phone and install CM9 ? Bcuz my phone is new and if anything happened to it,I'll kill myself.
FYI, the i9100G is not the i9100, therefore ICS leaks and CM9 will not work in your phone. If you do flash CM9 or one of the leaks your phone will be damaged. The i9100G is sort of crippled ROM developement wise from the start due to it's lack of Exynos in favour of some old TI-OMAP. Your only choice is to wait for Samsung to released ICS for your phone.

IIRC, there is only one ROM available for your phone and that is SuperROM (Android 2.0.3). All other ROMs will brick your phone.
That's right. You can only install custom roms that are specifically written for the I9100G. And there aren't many of them. Someone on here said a couple of weeks ago that there are two (don't quote me on it tho).
If you flash a rom meant for any other SGS2 variant, as Xethor said, you run the risk of bricking your phone.

Damn...I had to get it since its the only S2 version available here.Why samsung ? Why would u make different versions of galaxy s2 ??!!! :/ Well I guess I'll just have to depend on launchers.I got Go launcher EX,launcher7 and ADWLauncher.If you by any chance know a nice ICS theme,can u give me the market link ?
At first I also didn't knew the difference between I9100 and I9100G. I bricked my phone by flashing one of the I9100 ROM. Then I figured it out, unbricked it again. And now i'm running SuperROM with ICS Domination v2.0 theme.
I9100G sucks big time, both in hardware and software.
Only four ROM's are available for 'G' variant:
SuperROM
Juffo ROM
Galaxyrom rc4
Darky ROM
Can't believe it took 6 replies for someone to point out to the OP that the G version is different to the International model. Lucky he didn't brick it. So glad the T version is the same except it requires its own modem.

how to do a full back up - i saw a guide for the 4.0 but not applicable for the 5.0
upgrading from froyo to ginger bread is it possible to revert back to froyo if anything goes wrong?
is there a cwm that works with the stock 2.2.2? i did search and came up with nothing

Please read here... This thread should answer most of your questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
If you are wanting to upgrade to Froyo but are not sure about playing with custom roms, due to fear of bricking, etc... just do a factory upgrade to GB via Kies... no risk in doing so... and if anything was to go wrong, it's Samsung factory upgrade so you should be covered via warranty.
If you are brave enough to venture into custom roms, there are few options available for you. GB roms are pretty safe... no need for pre work... just download the custom GB roms and flash using Odin3... most of these roms will work for both US & INT versions of the players, provided that you flash the right kernel. Anyway... do some reading. Good luck...
Also, if you flash a kernel first, you can make a nandroid backup which can take you back to froyo.
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA
Not really afraid of trying out custom roms i just feel the need to do a full backup before diving in in case something screw up but cant find any guide for doing so
i tried kies but it seems like mea models are not having GB updates from sammy
Flashing the kernel seems like a good idea but is it rom dependent let say rj custom kernel for intl version will it work on froyo assuming it is from GB (not sure)
Again i want to do a full backup before trying things up
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA
Kernel version is independent of android version. I believe both yp-g70 kernels are based on the source thar Samsung released with froyo anyways.

If you want to install a different kernal, I recommend u to use Entropy512's kernal and when you flash, use an older version of super one click because you need to root it.

He didnt say it was. Even so, the rom was "released" to testers, and "leaked" to public. Only final is released to public.

This to me seems that Ben101 says "Stock jelly bean is still not released", which krayndr then declares "False!"
I work in software; I differentiate between a leak and a release. "Released to testers" is not a release. We send many builds to testers before we have a release candidate.

Not sure why you're directing this question to me; is it because I said I work in software? That doesn't mean I work in developing software specifically for this device, or even for Samsung devices in general...
But if you're having issue with a leaked firmware, doesn't it make sense to go back to a released firmware?

but why we prefer GB > ICS > JB is that ur installation goes smooth without any issue and also rooting ICS is much easier (since lot of option's to do so) rather with GB.

Hi
First of all you need to root the phone. The best way to do that would be to flash cf-root compatible with your rom version. You can find exactly what your build is by checking settings > about phone
Find compatible cf-root kernel and put it in PDA in odin and flash... there are lot's of guides out there - won't be hard to find
Second, before you go further you need yoo updete your bootloader. So either flash ICS stock through odin (not recommended cause will unroot again) or flash bootloader through odin. Again there are proper guides for that...
Then you can upgrade to whatever you want...
Keep in mind that emmc cap bug does not exist in GB kernels. so you can use the CWM recovery in cf-root kernels for GB rather safely.
If you update to stock ICS then you need to keep an eye what kernel you're using to wipe data. Siyah and dorimanx are safe and I always use them.
Loads of roms out there, pure aosp, cm based, aokp based and the leaked sammy rom. Personally checked alot of each first three and also several versions of the leaked one... All good.
Word of edvice - do read more on those things. No matter how much expirience people who answer threads like that have, you'll never substitute your own knowledge and expirience.
Go on and root and enjoy the android world, mate. Best of luck
Because the stock rom searching on the 5.0 seems to be a bit messy, I decided to make an index where it regroups all them here. It may seem simple but it's only an index regrouping all the stock roms available and it's not like a full recovery guide (like the 4.0)

First of all thanks for your effort on this great post. Indeed very useful.
I wish there would be a full recovery for 5.0 like there is for the 4.0 and the 5.0 INTL (I use the 5.0 US).
Anyway here are some helpful things you could expand your post with:
1) Firmwares
2) Kernels
3) CWMs
4) Full recovery haha
Some reference to how to use it with Odin etc. for noobs.
Thanks again!

I'm a total noob. got my Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5 yesterday and found a youtube video on flashing to to cyanogen 10.2 worked well, but I've lost ability to use ALL of the camera features. No video, no back camera no front camera, and can't use the flash as a light.
so, now I want to go back, but don't want to just re-flash the US stock rom as I'm worried i"ll brick it. Is there a documented n00b process for re flashing stock build?
thanks
Well it's not that hard if toy don't want to go through Odin ABMs all that, you can just flash back to a stock based ROM, not necessarily going all the way back to stock
