i rooted my friends galaxy s2 boost.. and wanted to kno if there was a stock rooted rom i can flash for him.. i flashed goodness rom.. and i made a back up.. see what happend is i rooted his phone all he wanted was stock root.. but when i backed up the stocked rooted rom.. then i rebooted system it was stuck in a bootloop.. so the i wiped everything and tried to restore samething so then i didnt kno what else to do so i flashed goodness rom.. and he wants just stock root.. so im stuck.. the backup i made aint workin? i cant seem to find just a stock rooted rom? thanks
So what model is the phone? I9100, i9100g, etc. You can either download a stock firmware from samfirmware, flash it then root, which will get you back to rooted stock, or, hunt around on xda for your model variant.

Yep, I've got i9100. I just didn't know what a 'boost mobile' was, ie if it's i9100 or something else. Usually if I need to flash stock, I'll just flash using mobile Odin and everroot. But many thanks for the info

I no what you have mate :thumbup:Im thinking s2 boost is the 4g model. Maybe wrong here but I would flash i9100 rom on that. Dont have one so not sure.
This is it here. Not an i9100. Has 8mp camera so I defo wouldnt flash i9100 rom on that.
Ahhh. Cool, gotcha. Also not sure whether it's flashable with an i9100 rom, it still depends on what model it is. If it's an i9100m, maybe.... If it's this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23042515 then probably not, and if it's as the screenshot attached, then definitely not. So still no real idea, they're all some sort of 4g galaxy s2... Able to shed any light on that?

What are you guys talking about?
All these devices use different CPU and GPU.
Don't encourage people to flash these ROMs on any I9100 or vice versa.
I9100 works on the P/M/T not G tho.
The closest US variant to the I9100 is the I777 and those ROMs aren't even compatible.

It's pretty simple, really. Don't flash anything NOT meant for your exact model of phone. That being, for you, the GT-I9100G. The "G" at the end is very important. Do NOT FLASH anything for an I9100, (note, no "G" at the end) or any other model of Galaxy SII... Of which, there are many.
tq mate..hope someone made custom rom for I9100G model..or else im gonna buy the I9100 model

There are some already out there. You just have to look for them. Though, I should note, not nearly as many as for the i9100.
Sure you can check those threads out but flashing them might be other thing as your phone might be a brick

I have a Samgung Galaxy S2 i9100 from Bell, Canada.
I was trying to root it using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631934.
I accidentally flashed the GB kernel, not knowing it meant Gingerbread. I then proceeded to flash the ICS kernel, thinking it would replace the GB one, but now my phone wont boot, it just stays at the screen with the yellow triangle.
Any help on how to fix this would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Note: I have rooted my phone and installed custom ROMs before (CM7), so i have a general understanding on the matter, just I don't know how to fix it.
Try entering cwm recovery by volume up home and power. If that doesn't work do volume down home and power. Then install a ics Rom and kernel via Odin.
If you need more help ask me.

Your main issue is if you flashed any kernel from that thread you linked, you flashed a kernel meant for an I9100G. You said you have an I9100 from Bell, which probably means you either have an I9100, or an I9100M. Check the label under the battery for model number to know for sure.
I9100G firmwares and kernels are not compatible with I9100/M/P/T due to processor/SoC differences.
You want this thread instead.

So did you confirm you have either an I9100 or an I9100M?
If so, stay away from I9100G firmwares/kernels/ROMs/etc.
Recently, I saw a lot of threads with phones bricking just like that. Manual reboot and never again would it boot. So, I'm starting to get REALLY worried that something simmilar could happen to my phone... Are there any risks?!
P.S. I'm running CM9 android 4.0.4. Nightly from 1st July with Siyah kernel 3.5.2. and Dxlpa modem that came with WanamLite.
Thanks!

No, CM9 and all versions of CM are safe. There are faults in the kernels of stock samsung ROMs such as lpq and others. When you go to samfirmware.com, the firmwares with the exclamation point/warning mark are the dangerous firmwares. However, I've started trusting CM more than Samsung

Help! My Galaxy S2 isn't working anymore! I decided to replace stock recovery with Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.7. The process went well but on the reboot there was a yellow triangle and then it doesn't do anything. I'm able to go into the Clockworkmod recovery though. What do I do to go back into booting my phone normally? I was running the leaked version of jelly bean (4.1.2) on the international version of the Galaxy S2. Please help!!
Whenever I try to boot up normally the Galaxy S2 logo will pop up, followed by the sound of the phone booting up (Samsung sound) but no display. Seriously, what can I do to fix this as I am really worried. I've heard that my phone isn't bricked because I can access recovery but please, what do I have to do to make my phone accessible again?
Relax, and flash stock rom.

If you're referring to the version of jelly bean I got, yes. However, I want ICS and I am confused at the minute on how to get back to stock. In Clockworkmod recovery I did a backup to my internal SD card and then did a wipe of data and of my cache. Could you give me the perfect stock rom thing to get back to ICS, as if it was out of the box?

How bad a situation am I in? Is my phone bricked? When I flash a stock rom will I still have CWM or will it be gone?
Also, can you tell me, if you know, what I did wrong in the first place? This seemed like a simple procedure...
Wait, let me read the OP again.
And don't bump the thread, edit like I'm about to.
Here's a thougt, why not focus on get your device up and runing insted of trying to get ICS?
1) wipe dalvik & factory reset your device (recovery)
2) didn't work? flash lsd or ls8 (single tar file in pda) in odin.
3) should be up and running, search for an ICS ROMs thread and flash ICS.
what happened? maybe a bootloop.

Compilation names, ls8 was released on FOP (spain unbranded), lsd came out 10 days after for nordic countries and italy.

Cheers mate! Think I've sorted it! Gonna flash lsd tomorrow after the dentist Not going anywhere near clockworkmod recovery again!
I'll come back here if I have any issues. Hopefully I won't, I've flashed lsj before successfully! Thanks alot!
Btw, would you recommend lsd or ls8? Are there any differences. I know that lsj did not have pop out video player but had pretty much everything else that's available for 4.1 jelly bean.

Download I9100 FlashKernel v3.0 from post 9.
Unzip and install the FlashKernel
Install the app
Bring your firmware into the app (it might be necessary to unzip it if you dl'd it as a zip)
Enable all the wipes
Allow the MD5 check
And flash.....
You will end up with unrooted stock JB.
It's how I did it....without issue...

The chances of bricking with pc odin are higher than with this option.....this app and method was created by a highly respected dev called Chainfire....the guy is genius for the S2.....
With mobile odin, you don't even have to worry about putting the firmware files in the wrong places....it's done automatically. ....
All you have to do is flash a couple of app components, import the firmware, tick a couple of boxes and flash.....don't get any easier than that......
