Cheers People
Download Siyah 3.5.2.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
Tar for Odin.
Then use this guide.
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-i9100-root-android-4-0-3-ics-xwlpd-88120/
Nevermind it says Cf-root. I flashed my Siyah kernel that way.
After that, flash any rom you want in recovery. Just do a Nandroid backup in recovery and backup apps with Titanium backup from Market!!!

Don't restore apps after flashing newer ROM, cause your phone will bootloop.
Better create text file and write names of installed apps.
Im not sure why everyone is worried about backing up there apps ive flashed about a 100 roms and never had to back them up cause if u go to the play store under my apps there always there
Infact there are apps there id forgotten about just pick which ones u want and re install .some roms auto instal them for u .make sure you have a google acc obviously!

What type of data? Music and photos are saved to the external SD card for me, and as for game save data, I believe that is externally backed up as well.

Only if the application is on the external memory card then it's backed up there. Otherwise they'll loose the data if that's not the case.

If you restore from google play, you loose all your app settings and you will have to reconfigure each app.
Also, Google Play will not show apps installed offline (apk)
Restoring app data with third party app like titanium backup is safe if app is compatible with the target rom

CWM-and have you bothered reading a Rom thread as there's normally install instructions.
And when I get bored of a rom I just restore my nand backup of something previous.
Sent from my GT-I9100
yes but it kinda seems all confusing for me shall do i just do what the tutorial from the first page .... download a rom then when i have done all the instructions do i just install the rom

in order to install a perticular custom rom , all u have to do is to follow the install instruction's of the same in there OP. and the same applies to all other roms also.
since installation instruction do vary from one custom rom to another
Jasper,you are better to read up on things so you are familiar with the processes of like rooting/kernels/roms/cwm/Odin/troubleshooting.
I understand reading 1000s of posts is tedious,but you could end up with a non working phone.

so i succesfully flashed Siyah 3.5.2 onto my phone now on to flashing the rom onto my phone

Have you tried wiping data of the messaging app?
Backup the messages and wipe messaging app data from Settings> Applications Manager. Check now if you can open the messaging app.

Using this you must backup every simple app by itself, then after flashing Rom you can restore.

Hi forum, first I would like to thank you all for being what you are =) I'm pretty new here and I see a great community with great guides!
So, so start with I would like to say I'm a newbie when it comes to moding my phone, but what I did was I following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529775 and it worked ou t great. I was on 4.4 KitKat but I saw a few apps acting weird etc, so I deicided to go back to stock.
I found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847 and I followed the steps and now my phone is back to stock with just one little problem (pretty huge actually ;P). I get "Not registered on network" whenever I try to call and SMS/mobiledata doesnt work. The simcard works just fine in my other phone (Walkman).
I have followed a few guides to fix the problem but none of the worked for me. I have tried:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7K6RDVRBhs
http://www.idroidspace.com/solved-not-registered-on-network-for-samsung-galaxy-devices/
and formating ofc
My IMEI number seem allright in settings.
IMEISV is 06 if that matters.
Please forum, help me fix my phone, it would mean ALOT to me. Please ask for more info if needed, just remember that im a newbie at this =)
Its a i9300
Thanks alot for reading this! Take care // Saiyin

That didnt work, when I put the 3 files in the folder they should be, the "restore" button got removed.
Also, they were not .gz files, skydrive tricked me. They are .tar files that winrar can open, I am really confused about this. Do you have any tips on how to proceed?
