Hello!

You can request a guide or a suitable way to fit my version?
i got Android version 4.0.4
i want just to get the ROM SUPERNEXUS 2.0 so my galaxy will look like nexus i am new in this android things its a new phone
btw i have no sim card, will it works ?
Baseband version:
I9100TJILPD
Core version:
3.0.15-1087786
root @ BUILDSERVER-241 # 3
SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 5 12:00:52 EEST 2012
Build version number:
IMM76D.JILPD
What can adjust these data after cone I can also install the ROM SUPERNEXUS 2.0
Please help I really do not understand these things this new phone I bought it last week and I want to look like NEXUS 4.2.2))
So if possible the safest and easiest way would work please tell me
Thanks.

The I9100T is almost similar to the I9100 in terms of hardware, and so u can use a rooting method meant for the I9100.

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.

dont rly get it sorry again
SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1 is this one is good ?
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?cat=5
what do i need to do to have my device to have the SUPERNEXUS 2.0 working with a good kernel that will work good with the rom
what rom is good for it and how i install it ?

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).

hey so i thought about it and i want to root now my sgs2 i9100t
ok so i see this tutorital:
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-i9100-icsandroid-4-0/
so the question i want to ask is should i use the kernel files that in tutorial or use the
SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?cat=5
that u said is very good
will they both work ? does it matter what i choose ?
and if yes what to choose and use this root tutorial or theres better ways ?
if yes so tell me if use the siyah kernel or this tutorial
thanks

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.

Good job!
The yellow triangle is normal after rooting (some people even consider it a badge of honor).
U can flash the SuperNexus rom in CWM recovery.
Post the instructions that u find confusing.

[Q] Downgrade to ICS

so i've decided to downgrade back to ics as im getting kinda bored with jelly bean. can i safely flash stock ics firmware via mobil odin? as i cant use usb connection as my pc wont detect my device. also i saw in a thread something about a brick problem with 4.0.4. what is all that about and can i flash stock Australia XSA I9100XWLPW ics 4.0.4 from Mobile Odin safely or will i need to flash 4.0.3 and upgrade ota?
Fix your usb problem first.If you dont theres a chance you could be in trouble.
You can flash firmwares directly using Mobile Odin. And brickbug affects stock 4.0.4 firmware with stock kernels.

i have flashed other firmware via mobile odin, was just curious if there was anything i should know about downgrading. also i had a bit of a look but im not sure i understand what it means by brickbug affecting 4.0.4 roms and stock kernels. does that mean it wont work at all with stock 4.0.4 kernel? and do i need to do something extra to use 4.0.4?

Mate, you really need to read a lot more.
Downgrading/upgrading is no different when ur flashing a firmware via Odin/Mobile Odin. And like theunderling said, a working computer connection might save u one day...
As for Brickbug, there are many threads here that will help u out..

ok so after some reading what i understand is that the brickbug only comes about if i wipe with CWM on stock 4.0.4 with stock kernel?
therefore if i have a custom kernel like siyah or use stock recovery to wipe everything should be fine?

Good work!
Brickbug occurs when u wipe with CWM while on a stock kernel on 4.0.4. If u flash a custom 'safe' kernel, no more risk of bricking even if u wipe.

hi there. noob here, just making sure I understood this superbrick issue: if I flash via ODIN a 4.0.3 official firmware+kernel, I am safe from the bug even if I wipe data/factory reset later? thanks...

Isn't that method for ICS instead of JB? You can look for a guide that tells you the steps with Odin (in other words: flash a custom kernel with Odin to give you root access).

There is no custom kernel for stock official yet and as i know the root operation the same for all OS and devices right ?

Of course there is. Otherwise nobody could use rooted JB-roms. Look for Siyah for example.

No way without an sd card.
Siyah is a custom kernel, but its good too. If you want to root with a stock based kernel, use Philz kernel.
U said u have I9100, right? Or is it I9100G?
Siyah doesn't work on I9100G.

That's a really big mistake mate! If you had done anything related to the I9100 on ur device, you would very well have bricked it!
Both have differences in hardware, and hence use different kernels and ROMs.

How to install ReVolt RoM? my first rom installation

Hello there i want to ask few questions about ReVolt RoM(i cant comment in the ReVolt thread)-
Is the RoM Support Hebrew and Align right text?
And how do i install the RoM?
Which kernal is needed? how i do this root with the kernal?
Can someone explain me all the steps please?
and i searched and didnt found something that can help me for this RoM
@johnhany97
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

Bro if i wasnt read it i would ask here... think a little bit.
Nothing there for hebrew and align text to right language.
The insturcations are really poor since its my first rom installation i would like to get more information instead
Wipe Cache
Wipe indvlaink
and more...
Any help please?
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.

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.

may CWM for XWLP7 will work on DDLPA?
Waiting for flashing :silly:
DDLPA is the baseband (modem) version. It has no role in selecting a root kernel. Only look at the kernel version (XWLP7) and choose the matching cf kernel.

If you want to root it,follow along.Download this file,and put it on your phone`s EXTERNAL SD! card.Now reboot into Recovery.In recovery,select "Install update from external storage", or something similar,and search the downloaded file.Install it.Now reboot.You don't have to wipe anything.That's it!
Press Thanks if you succeeded

Thats better! Always mention some stuff you tried or read, so that we feel you have tried to search and failed.
You can flash Siyah or Philz kernel.
Or if u don't want a custom recovery, use this guide:

According to you , which kernel will you recommend for my phone ? Siyah or Philz or Dorimanx or Jeboo or any other which i am not aware of ..Maybe you've tried many kernels and roms so you have basic idea about that stuff

Sorry, but recommendations are not allowed on this forum. I suggest you try and see which u like.
To be honest, it doesn't matter which u choose, because once u flash a custom rom, the kernel will be replaced.
If ur really confused...
Philz - same as stock, but improved custom recovery
Siyah - custom kernel, more features, more tweaks
Dorimanx - based on siyah, heavily tweaked and tuned
Jeboo - haven't personally tried, but I think its a tweaked stock kernel
