AS you post above shows lack of basic knowledge .
Please read the basics before flashing all stickied faqs and guides .
Is it worth it your choice suggest you actually take time to read the rom thread and decide .

JJEgan is being like that because this has been asked multiple times... now if you just search around the forums especially the Stock Firmware thread you'll find your answer.

ok i will
thanks for your relpy !!!
I've been using the 4.3 Wanam version with Yank custom kernel, as the official version IMO is not production quality yet.
If you just want a normal upgrade through OTA or Kies, my advice would be to wait as the current 4.1.2 stock firmware is very solid.

You lack basic knowledge and therefore in greater risk of bricking your phone .
If you are a experienced flasher you should know better than to ignore the basics .
Your choice your brick .

Hello everyone, I am a Android N00B and don't know what I am doing so please help me out answering some questions..
1) My SGS2 is a GT-19100T (New Zealand) being provided by Telecom NZ, will I still be able to ROOT using the same methods for GT-19100?
2) When people say I can not get the warranty from Samsung can I still claim my insurance with my provider that I am paying extra for?
3) How difficult is it to unbrick a SGS2? Is it ALWAYS possible to unbrick it?
4) How easy is it to brick the S2?
Please help a noob out. Thanks in advance.

That depends upon the terms and conditions of the policy . But as you have modified firmware i would guess not .
3) How difficult is it to unbrick a SGS2? Is it ALWAYS possible to unbrick it?
Brick a SGS2 about a 1% chance rising to 100% if not following instructions or wrong firmware .
Recover a bricked SGS2 about 95% chance as most are soft bricked .

Thanks for the answers for those... I really want to know the answer to No. 1 though.. as I want to be 100% sure it will work before going through with it..

The answer to 1) is yes. I have a I9100T also. JJE has given you some very good advice. If you're unsure/scared/not confident about doing anything (rooting, flashing non-stock firmware, etc) to your phone, don't do it until you are confident about the process.
At best you could end up with a soft brick that might take you a few days to workout how to fix (which means no playing with your new toy), and as JJE also mentioned, there's also a chance of hard bricking your phone which increases depending on how well you didn't read/follow the instructions for whatever you were doing with your phone.
This is a good place to start reading, so is this thread. Expect to get fairly short 'use the search function' answers if you ask a question that has been answered on here 2,000,000,000 times already.

I've installed the Lightn'ing ROM but it is really just not working out for me... How can I uninstall the ROM?

Just flash another rom over it via recovery or Odin depending on the rom. Also, make sure you re-flash a T modem once done for better reception.

I also have a nz i9100t i have rooted and custom rom with all guides for the i9100 and have had no issues. Just make sure u do a nandroid backup before flashing new roms!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Good day, everybody!
I've seen that there are here many great experts in this domain, so that I would like, with your permission, to ask why SG S3 has to be factory unlocked before rooting? All the guides provided on pages I've found on internet specify that (as a newbie, I only can assume that factory locked means that the device is working only on a specific mobile carrier, which is applicable in my case).
I also want to get a newer stock version of Android, and I dont't know if the latest is 4.1.2 or 4.2; maybe you can tell me.
From what I've read, in order to do so, I firstly have to root my phone, using a method for the specific kernel I have (XXDLJ4), and then install the software, using clockworkmod and the stock Android kitt. If I've understood it completly wrong, please let me know.
I can figure that you have been hearing this kind of questions over and over in your life, and I understand you perfectly, but I wouldn't be coming here I didn't you're the best.
The AP of my device is 9300XXDLJ4 with CP I9300BVDLI1.
Many thanks for your patience and time,
Cristi
the latest release from samsung is 4.1.2

Which means that I only can install 4.1.2? If so, which is the name of it? Does it have be "compatible" with my device?
I forgot to mention that my build number is JRO03C.I9300XXDLJ4.

But you would be best in my umble opinion to mess about and change an existing custom rom yourself to get an idea of what is required as a first step .
Basics are Cut and Paste .

I'm a developer, and since I bought my Samsung S3, I wanted to create a custom rom. I'm motivated.

Many people have spent a lot of time creating tutorials for beginners like you. Please search the forum for your answer. And yes, flashing a custom rom voids your warranty, but you can always return to the stock software.

Agree and that is due to multiple guides posted all over the place and often repeating those that are stickied .Its a fact of questions and other junk posted in General section cluttering up and hiding the guides .
But as 99% refuse to even start by reading post one why put any effort in to make it more accessible .
In my view we should have one section with Q&A including all general topics . Plus one locked section for guides and faqs with new posts at the discretion of the mods only .

That's a really good idea. Unfortunately it would need to be a site wide change, which would be hard to get admin buy in for. They could perhaps have a "lesser" mod, like a guide admin user base that could manage that for each device, because they would need to understand teh guides and if they were accurate or not anyway.
You should suggest it

That's actually a great idea indeed, you got my vote .
The only challenge will be then, and I guess it is valid not only for XDA but also in real life, how to get people to read first and not go the "easy" way of posting/asking the same old question.
Nevertheless a guide/faq section would be a good start.

That isn't totally true, im on 4.2.2 custom for 3 weeks now and can't say it's less stable than 4.1.2
Rooting always voids your warranty, it means it's on your own risk. Sometimes when you soft-brick your phone you can go back to stock, for what i've read.

Nope. You can flash any region stock firmware/rom. My phone came with a France region and I have a UK firmware on it. Just make sure the model number is the same. GT-I9300 for me, think yours too.

You have no right to ask me to shut up for speaking my free mind because pasting threads over and over again flooding posts after posts like a vigilante towards the threads that leads to many pages which you could have just ended it by one short simple answer. Besides, you do know that sometimes the search function is not 100% noob proof. If you're sick of the op above don't reply let others do it. It's Q&A. Nobody points a gun at you to start replying every noobs that exist in the world with your copying and pasting skills inserted together with rude remarks. Likewise you're free to report me if you like. Otherwise shut up and let me speak my mind. Good copying and pasting skills of yours is contributing a lot in here.
