So as the title says, can you root your phone and then flash a custom Rom without a sim card installed?
I'm getting an S2 either at the end of this week or during the start of next week, but I'm getting it as fully unlocked and without a sim card (I'm getting a sim only contract in less that 2 weeks). I want to install the Siyah Kernel, then flash the CyanogenMod 10.1 Rom (and then Gapps, of course).
So, is it safe to do this without a sim card installed? Of course I'll upgrade the phone the Jelly-bean first before flashing anything (I've looked a lot into this). I've seen a thread on here where the members said it was safe, but I saw on another website that it caused problems. So sorry if this is a noobish question or whatever, I just wanted to make sure of everything.
Also,
Are Siyah Kernel and CyanogenMod 10.1 a good match? I'd make another thread for this, but seeing as I'm making this one, I may as well just include it as a quick question here
And,
I'm getting the S2 for a good price (£205 because of a store nearby trying to get rid of the excess stock that they still have). And I've pretty much got my eyes set on this phone because it's plenty enough for me. Just thought I'd throw that out there before someone tries to suggest another phone to me, because I've kinda got my sights set on the S2, haha :')
1.Yep, it is safe to flash without a sim card installed.
2.Try it yourself and see what kernel suits you best

1. Alright, thanks
2. If I don't happen to like it, can I just change it by flashing a new one as I would do originally? Or would I have to do anything extra now that the custom Rom had been installed?
Let me add a minor point too..
When ur planning to mix different roms and kernels, be careful u choose kernels which support the roms.
In ur case, if u want to use Siyah, choose the correct version that works with CM10.1.

I've checked, and Siyah Kernal version 1.9.1. works fine with CM 10.1
I had checked before but it never hurts to check again just to make sure, eh? After all, I don't want to mess up my phone on the first day

In a way ur correct. But v1.9.1 is for the SGS3.
For SGS2, use v6 b5.

Please help me!
I've a I9100 updated via Kies to Jelly Bean. I tried to root it but I used a wrong version, a one for the I9000G.
It worked for a while, but now it reboot for ever!!!
I downloaded the official Firmware from SamMobile and flash it (as PDA) by ODIN, but I didn't recovered, It bootloops again!
How can I solve this problem?
Is there a way to download the flash image (I didn't any backup prior to root ).
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much, but I've already solved my problem flashing an unbranded original firmware.
Now I've got only a problem : the updates via Kies are no more available. Why? The firmware is a stock firmware!

I've had the pleasure of owning a Samsung smartphone since October 2010. With that, please trust me when I say this: Kies is rubbish! The amount of stuff this program installs into your PC to do what's easily done by connecting via Mass Storage mode? Nuts! The amount of time it spends trawling the net and using up vital battery power while it runs in background on your phone? Insane! The best way to have a i9100 (or any other Android device) running is with a custom ROM - that way you can at least remove any app or 'bloatware' you don't want before you bring the phone to life.
My advice? In short: totally clean out and factory reset your phone, flash the stock i9100 SamMobiles JB release using Odin, root your phone, choose a custom ROM that you like the look of, flash it in and then discover the brilliance of the i9100 that lies beneath the stock standard offering...

Yes, install a Samsung-based custom ROM.
As for a reason why you have to keep your phone with Original software, is it a phone supplied by your employer? If so, then it's Yours to do as you please with, because use of the device is part of your salary package. Other than that, all which is altered by installing a custom ROM can be restored, simply by doing a nandroid backup of the original firmware before installing the new ROM...

Hi all,
Anyone having this Wifi speed problem on SGS2 i9100G with Stock Jelly bean 4.1.2?
i download the firmware from Sammobile and flashed to my phone via odin. I did wipe out data before flashing.
This is my phone version
PDA: I9100GXXLSR
Phone: I9100GXXLSP
CSC : I9100GATOLS1
I tested with my phone Speedtest apps Download speed :20kbps
I tried with my friends SGS2 on ICS and getting : 700kbps +
Both tested with the same WIFI network and one to one connection.
Any fix or guide to solve this??
thanks~
Change/Update ur firmware.
Seems like there is a problem in kernel with wife driver.
And I won't think that it's always like this on Jellybean, because it's first time I heard about this.
So maybe a firmware fold or a bad flash.
Much success

You can flash kernel alone, instead of flashing the entire rom.
Might work.. might not..
Be careful what u flash. Only flash stuff meant for I9100G.

Use Siyah kernel to root.
SD card stands for your internal SD memory, not the external SD card. Just copy it to ur phone, that's all.

Saying ur a noob is no excuse for not searching mate. All it takes is some good old reading and a little common sense.
Siyah kernel is actually compatible with all versions of android, including 4.0.4. But you must be careful to choose the correct version of Siyah that matches ur firmware.
It doesn't matter what kernel u have, because after flashing it will be replaced by the kernel included in the SuperNexus rom.
For a good tutorial, u can use search or check out the stickies in the Q & A section.
Feel free to ask any doubts u may have.

Replying to ur PM:
When u are going to root, u should look at the firmware u have now, and choose the correct kernel. Don't look at the rom that u are planning to flash.
Siyah v5.0.1 is the latest kernel for ICS, and hence is a good choice. You can use it to root now.
To get SuperNexus (or any other custom rom), u need a working CWM recovery to flash the rom.
Flashing Siyah kernel via odin will install this CWM recovery. You only need to follow the instructions given in the rom's thread after that to install.
There was no good rom,
there is no good rom,
and there will be no good rom..
Because it all depends on what suits u best (which only u can tell after trying).

That tutorial uses a CF kernel to root, instead of Siyah kernel. The difference is that CF is simply the stock kernel while Siyah is a custom kernel. You can use both to root.
But on 4.0.4, there is always a risk of using CF kernels due to eMMC Brickbug issue. That's why I suggested Siyah, which is 'safe'. I'm not sure if ur device has the risk of brickbug, but its always better to be safe than sorry.
If you still want to use the stock kernel to root, u can try Philz kernel (its also 'safe').
P.S. The CF kernel in the guide u posted is not the correct version u require. CF kernels and Philz kernels are stock kernels, so u have to find the one that closely matches ur stock kernel.

The yellow triangle is normal after rooting (some people even consider it a badge of honor).

Read the relevant thread ? The instructions for that particular rom couldn't be clearer; they're even in large/bold font. Nobody here is going to regurgitate these steps when they're already in the thread.
As to your other questions, the answers are also in the thread. If you want to use the rom, it's up to you to do the reading/learning, nobody here is going to hold it for you & shake it when you're done

The instructions are poor ? You're ****ting me ?! They couldn't be more clear. And re: your other questions about language/text alignment, you've read every post in the thread (as opposed to simply doing a search, which won't give you the info you need because XDA search is crap) have you ? (I don't believe you)
Why not make a nandroid backup, flash the ReVolt ROM and see for urself what features it has or hasnt got?
If ur unhappy, do a nandroid restore.

First, are you rooted? If yes, which method? If no, search for "how to root <your phone>"
Then i recommend reading the sticky thread in this sub-forum "New here? READ THIS THREAD FIRST. What Is Recovery & Download Mode?"
Other things i recommend is watching rooting guides in youtube, preferrably from zedomax.
Now go to revolt thread again and you, hopefully will know the basic stuff which is written right there inorder to flash the ROM.
As MistahBungle has said, the thread contains relevant information for a proper installation of the ROM.
Even if it doesn't say about the hebrew text you could try it for yourself and find out.
Cheers

U don't need to root a custom ROM mate, because it already is.
And custom ROMs come with their own kernels, so u don't need to flash another (unless u specifically require a different kernel).

U need to root if u are on stock rom and not already rooted.
But once u are on a custom ROM like ReVolt, you are already rooted.
Sorry if I confused u..

CF kernel comes bundled with CWM recovery.
I didn't understand what u meant by 'change it ever again'.

No you don't. It has been said before: just follow the instructions and you will be fine.
Asking the same question in multiple threads won't get you different answers. PM me, and I'll talk you through it tomorrow.

Maybe the downloaded rom is broken or something. Try downloading from another computer or an Internet Cafe. If possible, verify the checksum of the rom to see where it's broken or not.

I even tried AVATAR rom which is working on galaxy S but not in my S2, Its showing the same status error 7
Status 7 error arises usually when you are trying to flash a rom not meant for ur device. Are you sure you are downloading the rom meant for the I9100? Because some roms are available for multiple devices.

I have come across that status 7 error when being on certain kernels ( not dori though) but came around it by flashing philz kernel then rebooting recovery and flashing rom. Have you tried with another kernel or another version of dori? Hope you get it sorted out GL.

I tried Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.32 on flashing rom. For now im able to flash rom from ANDROID ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT section. I noticed those scripts dont have ASSERTS.
But ROMs from ANDROID DEVELOPMENT has ASSERTS, even editing i can not flash...
Can you suggest a kernel which is suitable for problem.
What is your current rom.? Chameleon OS rom (4.2.2) or Chameleon 3.0.3 (4.1.2 hybrid). Are u sure your kernel is dori and not the stock from your rom. Sorry if I ask obvious but just checking. Maybe try flashing philz kernel and the rom. Read up first. I am sort of a noob so don't want to mess up your phone. Good luck.

Good thinking! Come to think of it, I had this issue while flashing Resurrection Remix while being on Dorimanx kernel. Switched to Siyah kernel and the flash went well.. :good:
