Boot into download mode. Odin to stock. Use Odin to flash a recovery. Flash superuser/root. Not that hard.

Ok, I unbricked my phone and rooted succesfully, but now can someone please send me a link for cynagenmod 10.1 on samsung galaxy s2x telus? I really want this mod, I also want jelly bean 4.2.2, is this possible? If so, please let me know.

Not trying to be rude...but have you searched the whole forum? Only because my phone isn't supported here either but I did find 1 page with all the info I needed..just took some time to find...

[Q] cyanogenmod 9 on SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Hello,
I have a rooted Samsung galaxy s3 (SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 ) and want to load cyanogenmod9 but I haven't seen any articles/posts on how to do it. Does anyone know of a way to do this for my specific model? Or does that even matter? Pre-emptive thanks for any help XD

Sorry, wrong forum! :silly:
@Mod: Please move this thread!
As far as I can tell, no one is working on it yet.
I will contribute what I can to help it happen. Can an interested developer share information on how this is done in general? Or maybe start an IRC where we can work on it?

None out yet and dont attempt to flash the International rom or you WILL brick your phone. Just need to wait it out, it might be a while though.
It's being worked on:

I forgot to mention that I am on at&t. Does that matter?
Not much. The LTE variants are very similar.

hi thanks for the reply but i think i figured it out. i was looking in other posts and stuff about the same problem and or ones about how to root and i think i just used a out of date kernel thing. because i found the same kerrnel i used that messed up my cell but the other one i found was a newer version i tihnk. so i downloaded that and did the thing with odin and yah it rebooted perfectly and from what i see my cell is rooted.
Good news then

I bet the yellow triangle gets on your nerves next ha! i found using a jig was the best way and safest to get rid of the triangle,but there is software to get rid i think it is by chainfire.
Galaxy S2 i9100 wont reboot after rooting
Hi There,
I have exactly the same problem. I did try to root and followed the instructions given in galaxys2root dot com.
Followed the link "ww.galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-i9100-icsandroid-4-0/" . ( One 'W' is intentionally missing in the referred link as a spoof. I am a new user with less than 10 posts so I am not allowed to paste a working link. Sorry) I went through the video first and followed all instructions threadbare.
Odin returned a green success message too. but the phone would not wake up beyond the Samsung Boot logo for S2. I was on ICS version 4.0.X prior to the ilflated root and my phone version is GT-I9100G.
You must excuse me, I did not note down my previous baseband version and similar other details in the about phone. I bought the phone from a Hongkong based ebay vendor and I live in Australia.
I am hoping i have not lost completely my phone and data. I have written too that web site too. Could you please help as soon as possible. I am without a phone.
thanks heaps in advance,
guppeey

SCH-R760 help

I need help fixing my Alltel Samsung Galaxy S2 SCH-R760. I tried to update it to ICS but I didnt realize that it was a version for US Cellular only. When I tried to go back to Gingerbread all my phone does is go to the boot screen and just stay there. Is there anyway I can get Gingerbread back on my phone and get it working correctly? I don't really want to root my phone if at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't even know if we support your device in this forum.
These guys might help tho:
