Hi. im new in this selection. yesterday i bought i9100. now i got android 4.1.2 branded by orange and i need to change it to cm10 and and CWM6. i cant go to recovery by combinations buttons (im not noob, previous phone galaxy mini2 with many mods). download mode working so i put unbranded stock 4.1.2 and i need to know how (where download) CWM without bugs and where i can download lastest stable cm10 without any bugs. i dont have warranty so there no way to any error. some tutorials are welcome. thx for reply.
You can flash any kernel to get CWM.
I've heard PhilZ kernel working best with 4.1.2 at the moment, but also there are DorimanX, Siyah and many more..
Flash one of them with Odin (download mode) and then you will probably have access to CWM.
you should be able to access the stock CWM, but if you can't you might want to look into what causes that problem before rooting.
i do it 3h after i write op btw. thx. in galaxy mini 2 bootloader etc is easiest to using good luck and thx for respond bro.

I'm not angry, why would I get angry?
You know how flashing works, you only need to know how your new device works.
And don't read from another site, stick to xda.

We don't care. You search/read/learn like everyone else here. You're not special :-/

Hello there,
I was wondering if you install a custom Rom (such as F1 sgs2 mod) can you react it back to the stock sgs gingerbread os if you don't like it or if you have problems with it?
Thanks in advance...

Yeah should be able too I imagine there's stock roms posted in the Galaxy S2 forum somewhere.
Yeah just visit samsfirmware site and download the version your phone came with or something newer and official for your country. Flash it and your ready.

@Kev - Just an FYI bumping after only an hour is considered bad manners on forums
Your answers are easily found right HERE. Life is so hard sometimes.
Hi,
Sorry 4 this new thread but i'm new in SG2 forum and i wanna know how to flash a custom rom. What i need first? Only need to be rooted?
Give me some links to help me, please...

First of all what firmware version you on now? ICS or GB?
--- also as most people will tell you, a simple search would have helped before posting ---

flash siyah kernal via ODIN (or any kernal you like), then you can flash any custom rom you like via CWM recovery. The rom you wanna flash depends on what your looking for.
Ok.

You can flash siyah 4.1.5 from gokhanmoral. Com for galaxy s2
Then you are rooted. You will get CWM 6.0.
Then from recovery take back up of your current stock rom.
And flash any ICS Based custom rom.
Do these steps then in future you want to try JB custom rom then let me know

Cousin: S2 stock
Me: S3 rooted
I got it to work
For anyone out there you need to have a cwm kernel installed then from there go onto your favored kernel. If you can get cwm touch to boot up problem is with the rom or in my case the gapps i installed with it. Other than that it's good
Glad u got it. Ur post wasn't clear.---but u say the problem wasn't the Rom, it was the gapps U flashed...hmmmm. Just messin lol.

Hi all, (this is my first thread)
I wanted to ask a couple of questions about which I am confused...
I am currently running stock 4.1.1 on rooted international galaxy s3..
Q1. Is there anyway I can get 4.1.2 OTA Without unrooting?
Q2. I am not sure whether the country I bought my phone from has got the update yet... So is there anyway I can check that...
P.S I got my phone from dubai..
But I live in India...
Thanks.

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?
Thanks!

I had the same experience, Omega had loads of launcher redraws and sudden lag. No such experience on ARHD with Perseus kernel. That kernel now even has the exynos exploit fixed.
Nope, all other roms i've tried i never used more then a few hours.
Can you give me a link to the ARHD page?

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me

Haha.. Thanks buddy.
Btw, I am not new to rooting, I have flashed at least 15 rom's on my old phone(galaxy ace)
But I was not a member of XDA then.. I just used to read....
But since s3 is much more expensive I wanted to be absolutely clear about the smallest of things...
Because with great power comes great responsibility.
