You need a P rom to flash as far as we know so far .If you flash a wrong firmware you can brick your phone .
Checkrom is a custom rom if you go to the Checkrom post in the developers thread it wil giver you a descriptions . Same goes for all custom roms page one this rom is and has the following or not .

does this mean i cant flash miui ?
You can only flash a P rom unless you find evidence to the contrary . Most roms are for i9100 version .
Or be a guinea pig and try .

thanks for the info, i think i'll leave it for now i dont want to brick my phone :L
You can flash 9100 ROM on your 9100P
But 9100 ROMs don't support NFC module (it will be supported natively with ICS).
I have the same device (orange FR) and you can look my signature for working Radio + ROM...

I dont remember
But if your device is already rooted you can install Rom manager or CWM from the market and make a backup of your config. Then reboot in CWM and install what you want (read the how to install section of the wanted rom).
Don't care about your "P" version!
What you read here for standard device (i9100) is working for your P version.

Don't use Rom Manager, use Clockwork. Rom Manager seems to not work well with the SGS2, this forum is littered with posts from people who used Rom Manager to flash and it broke CW Recovery, put the phone into a bootloop or soft brick, etc, etc.
Best to play it safe IMHO.

Oh I didn't know that rom manager was not working fine on our device. I am using clockwork manager and it is working fine.
I've seen a heap of posts in the couple of months I've been visiting this forum from people who ended up with broken CW Recovery & bootloops after using the Manager app.
I used it once to try and flash a kernel & it broke recovery completely.
Obviously any/everyone's mileage may vary, but for me, I'd rather play safe & boot into Recovery whenever I flash or backup.

so if i shouldn't use rom manager, what should i use ?
Didn't say you shouldn't use it Just said that plenty of people have had problems using the app, and rather than risk it, since I had that problem with it, every time I've done a backup or flashed a rom/kernel I've rebooted into recovery & used CW Recovery itself to do the business
As I said in my previous post, your mileage may vary & you may not have any problems with it at all.

Hello guys! I have a GT-I9100P also with the latest BVKL2 2.3.6 firmware. I had it rooted when I was at BVKI3 2.3.4 firmware and now I am looking for a good CF-ROOT kernel for my phone. What would you recommend me? (what if I tell Chainfire to make a CF-ROOT more appropriate to my kernel)?

Why don't you post in Chainfire's thread to ask him about making an insecure KL2 kernel?
But I think you can use the insecure KL1 kernel from Chainfire's thread to use for root. Or you could flash SpeedMod or Siyah, and the rooting will happen for you. You have lots of options.
were to put the rom zip file
I got the exact same phone as the OP im trying to flash a rom in a zip format but clockwork mod recovery cant find the file ive looked in install from sd card and install update.zip. ive also tried installing it through rom manager, no joy there, inside rom manager i chose to boot into recovery to flash it manually and now i got a black screen with a white triangle n a lil green android dude so i see what people are saying about the s2 and rom manager, anyways my question is were do i place the zipped rom? on the internal or external and should i rename the rom file?
Ive had 2yrs experience with a HTC HD2 so im not exactly a noob to flashing roms, but the galaxy s2 is very new to me.
Dear reader,
I've currently been using Cyanomod for 2.3.7 Gingerbread.
My phone is rooted and everything (which took a little while )
Everything is running perfectly fine, but i would like to update my phone to android 4.0+ (whatever the lastest compatible version might be)
How should i go about this?
Do i basically uninstall everything and start from scratch or is there an easy method to quickly update my phone to android 4.
Kind Regards and Thank you for your time!
I believe the answer us first to backup your apps with titanium backup if you need them. Then go to recovery and backup your current Rom. (always be sure to do this). from recovery wipe factory reset and dalvik cache. Then install your new Rom from zip.
You cannot install an android 4.0 + over another version. Always backup and wipe.

Do i need to re-root my phone when i install a new Rom? Or should i just install it through recovery?
Rom's are pre rooted (expect stock, stock BASED roms ARE pre-rooted), once you've installed the rom through cwm, it will be rooted and ready.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can easily flash a custom kernel (Based on ics, so it'll be compatible with ics rom) And boot into recovery, and flash a custom rom based on ics.
One last question, since i'm having trouble finding compatible roms.
Which one would any of you, recommend for me to use ?
I have a ST18i and i'd like the lastest compatible rom.
Thanks so much for the fast reponses and ofcourse the help.
Kind Regards,
Since you're using CyanogenMod 7 I would recommend you to use CyanogenMod 9.1 i.e. FXP 138 is the best in my experience.

If your finding trouble with compatible roms are you saying your getting bootloops when trying them?, because a different Android Version requires a different kernel, So if you haven't or forget to flash the kernel recommended or provided then that would possibly be where your compatibility issues lye as you will get bootloops if you don't and you are changing version. As Mikii suggested earlier.

Ahhh that must be it then.. I've been using the same kernel for quite some time now because it was quite a hassle to flash it. Different roms come with different kernels (at times). I'll have to figure out how to flash kernels again. Gonna check around the forums to see if i can find a suitable thread.
Thanks so much

The fastest way to flash a kernel is to use the program called flashtool, click on the lightening bolt, select Fastboot mode, then select kernel to flash find the kernel you want to flash and it should be done within literally 2 seconds. once Flashtool gives you the all clear, disconnect your phone from usb, restart phone, and there you go, the old kernel will be overwritten, and so will that kernel's cwm version, with the one from the new kernel.
Try FXP138

I just picked up a i717 and I'm trying to root via this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367. I first tried to flash CWM with odin and then I tried a root file with odin then TWRP with odin but after all of them I still cannot get into recovery (it's still stock recovery). Any help would be appreciated.
Read through THIS THREAD.
I had issues when trying to root my Bell i717 as well. All the links to everything you need should be in there...just read...and read again.
in case you miss it or read too fast..
there is a point where you pull the battery so you dont have your recovery overwritten during boot..
once i was in cwm recovery i flashed a custom rom that did not have that "feature"

It all depends what you are looking for.
I want something I can record calls with, and something not bloated.. so I'm still searching for just the right Rom. I used to use wanam on the sgs2 and he spoiled me for all other developers.

I have the Rogers note and running ICS BlackStar X as my daily driver without any issues. Been hearing good things about the Novena rom but haven't tried it out since I'm happy with my current setup.
Ive tried installing the 4.4.2 ROM Achidroid N7000 on my phone using TWRP but it skipped the MD5 check and said "Installation failed/aborted....". I then tried an AOSP 4.4.2 ROM but it said the same error message. After that, I gave up and tried to use the phone. When it booted up, it froze on the Samsung logo and wouldnt boot up completely. Ive tried doing a FDR through the custom recoveries but still the same thing happens. I really dont know what to do. I have an i9300 under 4.3.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I dun think archi developed any rom for the N7000. At least I didn't see any when googling. But if you flashed a N7000 rom on ur phone, even if u finally unbrick it, I bet there will be some hardware issues.

The first page alr said tat the rom is VERY buggy and is in the experimental state. Many things are not working in tat rom. So I have no idea why some one would wan it as their daily driver rom.

Hi guys,
This is my first time posting a thread in here. I need your help.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100.
Baseband version: I9100XXKI3
(screenshots attached for more info)
I rooted my phone By using Odin3-v1.85. and flashed the recovery to cwm 5.x (i can't remember version) and tried to install custom ROM OMNI
(omni-5.0.2).
I accidently downloaded and installed OMNI for i9100G version. But my phone is i1900 version.
(I downloaded this omni-5.0.2-20141222-i9100g-HOMEMADE.zip ). i forgot to backup previous ROM .
Then i was unable to Turn ON my phone because every time i turn it on, it come back to recovery it self (it's a bootloop i think).:crying::crying:
then i flashed the recovery to CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100 (version 6.0.2.7) and installed custom ROMs and tried (PACMAN,CM,AICP).
It works fine. everything is just perfect. But i can't make calls or receive.
It says "Mobile Network not available". when i call my phone from another phone i hear ringing it. But nothing shows in my phone. after few seconds i got a Missed call Alert. But this happens only sometimes. All the other times. i cannot call it from another phone.
I tried reset and flash modem using CWM as well as from odin. but no luck.
Please Friends Help me. I don't know whether i put this thread to right section or not. sorry about that.
I did all of these things by surfing XDA forum (as a Guest). And i'm happy about what you guys are doing. Keep it up.:good::good:

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by

You will have to flash stock 4.1.2 rom or try a 4.1.2 custom rom. The problem may be caused by the drivers in the built in kernels but I'm not completely sure.
No mobile network on custom roms
I have already flashed the 4.1.2 jellybean rom but 4.1.2 rom also havr bugs. Lock screen doesn't work, I had tried hard resetting but it doesn't solve the problem. I Want use 5.0.2 hazy , cynogenmod, pacman , dirty unicorn, etc and other many custom roms but I'm facing same problem no mobile network, other than that everything work fine....

Yep.
I am having same problem with the network connectivity. It happens with all custom ROMs that aren't stock based. I am stuck with Chameleon ROM which is a hybrid and has a stock samsung base. It is a great ROM but is outdated. I would like to upgrade. Any solution to this problem is welcomed. = D
Okay I think I got a solution here. The procedure is:
1) Make sure you are on a stock based ROM or other ROM where your network is working.
2) Backup EFS.
3) Flash custom ROM of your choice.
4) Restore EFS if there is no network.
Done.
To restore efs, you can use any app tailored to do so but for me it didn't work. I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-recover-imei-9-steps-t1264021
Follow the steps carefully and you will have network in any ROM you like. Hit thanks if helped.
PS: Sorry for double post
EDIT 2: Even though my network is back, which confirms that the problem was with the missing IMEI. I found out that the IMEI I got now is a fake one. Got to get the real one back now..
i did flash android 10 in my moto one power
after that i went back to stock rom but noe netwrok is not showing up
