Hi there
I am a total novice so i apologize if my questions are a completely non-sense.
First of all a really big thanks to the developer who built this amazing and helpful toolkit.
My father is using an S3 European version Orange branded 4.1.2 Android version .I wanted to unlock it so it can work on different gsm carrier.I've installed ALLINONE option(Flashed Insecure boot,Recovery,Root,Busybox,Rename restore Files) Twrp Custom Recovery using the UNIFIED TOOLKIT.Then i used GalaxySimUnlock apk to unlock it.All went smoothly everything is working perfect the phone is unlocked.
Now i have 1 question:
If i'd like to use the official samsung software update because now is not working due to the rooting i am guessing or send the device back to warranty (unexpected undesirable event) I will have to use option no.8 present in the toolkit(Download extract +Flash Stock Rom via Odin).And will my phone remain unlocked OR option number 2-Unroot Option will be enough?(I mention that i didn't yet installed any Custom Rom).
Thank you so much!

What rom best rom posts are banned .
You choose .
No custom rom is bug free decide if the bugs rule the rom out or not .
Later is generally better for any rom build .
Omega is updated very frequently .

Hey XDA guyz need your expertise , I have rooted my S2 GTI9100 phone and now running siyah kernel.
Can someone please provide me the link to download the below listed JELLY BEAN ROMs. I'm too scary of bricking my phone by running corrupted file.
And Do I need to change my kernel to Install these Roms?
1. Paranoid Android 3
2. Neat ROM
3. Wanamlite Cleant& Fas
4. Resurrection Remix
5. Vanilla Rootbox
Provide you with links to those roms when you're more than capable of finding them yourself ? Absolutely not. What did your last slave die of ? Go look in the development sections or do a search :-/
To flash any rom or kernel, follow the instructions for flashing that rom or kernel which are always found on the first page of the development thread for the rom/kernel and/or the discussion thread of same.
If you're scared of bricking your phone, leave it stock & enjoy it. Every time you flash anything you run the (normally very small if you follow instructions/learn before you do) risk of breaking your phone. That risk increases depending on how lazy, unable/unwilling to learn & careless you are. In other words, it all depends on you.
No one is here to spoon feed.
Use logical thinking and search for them.
And don't worry, finding corrupted files of ROM's is highly unlikely

It was so hard ... Im tired
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I am a real noob on using android. Digged the xda forum but still do not exactly understand which ROM I should use for 8005. A friend have given a custom ROM based on 4.1.2, but that 8005 haven't been touched for a long time. I clicked the factory settings and resetted.
Now please help this noob:
1) What is the newest custom ROM that I should download and where?
2) After installing that ROM, which URL should I look for rooting?
Thanks in advance.
Hello everybody. Today I root my friend galaxy s2 and now I want to install on his phone a 4.2.2 stock rom. Can somebody give me a link with a good & smooth 4.2.2 rom ?
No such thing as 4.2 stock for I9100, only custom roms. And custom rom recommendations are forbidden here. Go read the rom threads in the two development sections (read the first page for instructions/etc & the last ten pages for recent user experiences with the rom), and try some roms out for yourself.

Ok, thank you.
Hello
I'm new to the whole android development
I've had my S2 for some time now and you can tell what I'm dealing with when you know I have the stock rom and haven't tried rooting it
I found this "pound rom" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-pound-rom-t2535113
there is no "Steps" tho that I can follow
as this will be my first ever time
can someone be kind enough to tell me If I can root my phone and flash this rom using any tutorial out there?
or do I need different kernel? cause it says this in the thread: " Need to flash this ROM with a cm10.2 or newer kernel for best results. "
hopefully this thread isn't against the rules of the forum

first it is not against forum rules
second it means you just need to have a cwm version 6.0.4.3+ which you get in cm10.2 kernel so flash cm10.2 first reboot recovery then a full wipe and the install pound rom
root your phone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOaTscV92gU ( make sure you are running official jelly bean 4.1.2 xwl.x.x )
after rooting follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/cwm-kit-kat-compatible-t2546597 ( follow this carefully )
after completing the above two steps , you can flash the rom after you wipe data , cache , dalvik cache ... flash the rom and its respective gapps and reboot system .
if you want a kernel , you can flash it after you install the rom you want ( just make sure that is the kernel compatible with the rom and its android version )
feel free to ask anything regarding to galaxy s2 i9100 and you are in no way breaking any forum rules so ask any thing you do not understand ..all the best and happy flashing
a tiny warning after flashing kk comp. cwm
reboot to "recovery" not to system
sometimes i can be missed by newbies like me
