[Q] Out of practice flasher! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
First of all, apologies If i have not looked hard enough!
I am currently on CM 11.0 which I installed using the neat new CM installer app. I have enjoyed it for a bit, but find it is really draining my battery. Have tried the usual fixes, but this is definitely more of a drain than when I was on stock.
I am looking to install a new ROM that is slightly more modified with battery and performance in mind. The problem is, I haven't flashed custom ROMs the old fashioned way since I had my Desire HD and I am now a little nervous as I have no idea of the procedure involved. I am obvisouly already rooted as I have CM 11.0 installed, but what's next? Is there a good guide somewhere for noobs that I am missing?
Many many thanks for any help!

As a side-note, if anyone has any recommendations on KitKat ROMS with good battery performance, i would be happy to listen.
Many many thanks for any help!

Thanks, I have removed my ROM recommendation request. Didn't realise that wasn't allowed.
I had a look for stickies but couldn't see any with clear guides on flashing procedures.

You need the following stuff:
1) root (can get it via z4root, SuperOneClick, Gingerbreak)
2) custom recovery (ClockworkMod, AmonRA)
3) custom ROM - froyo or gb based (devoid.franco, void#echo, megatron, CM7 by mik_os, GingerBread by andy)
If you are looking for performance, I'd suggest you to flash devoid.franco, andy's GB or mik_os CM7. Read the feedback from users on each thread and flash the ROM that suits you best.
Instructions how to install different stuff you can get on each developer's thread.

Hello all!

I would just like to know how to avoid bricking at all costs and what a custom kernal has to offer.
What is a "safe kernal"? why is the stock kernal so bad?
I've seen some ROMs I like and want to get started soon but read that the SGS2 can be hard-bricked.
After reading this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
It states "DO NOT flash any stock 4.0.4 firmware" and then says stay away from OFFICIAL 4.0.4 firmware, can I ask why is this?
As I'm also new to rooting, so what are the advantages of overclocking the CPU? (apart from the obvious) Surely it's at default for a reason, if Samsung could improve the CPU performance without risks surely they would?
Thanks y'all

Not a life story, more of an introduction. I do hope your "life story" can't be written in a few sentences
Maybe I didn't phrase the topic all that well and reading it back now I am basically asking what the best ROM is but that wasn't really my intention. I've read the stickied threads in this section and the beginning video (which was pretty funny)
I've changed the topic, apologies.
Ok root your phone,stick on siyah kernel and maybe rremix.Read threads about using cwm/odin.

What's wrong with using stock kernal?
Are you here to learn or what.Do you think the stock kernel is going to be better than siyah/other developers kernels.
If you cant be bothered to search or read and understand stuff then dont

4.0.4 is leaked and it's stock kernels have eMMC_CAP_ERASE enabled, then using temporary CWM is extremally dangerous.
Custom kernels are offering overclock/underclock CPU, GPU, many tweaks which improve speed and battery life, it has ClockworkMod recovery[...] and they're meant to work with all ROMs (stock Samsung, AOSP, AOKP).
Stock Samsung kernels aren't offering those.
Safe kernel is kernel which has emmc hardbrick bug disabled.
And most important. If you're new to rooting, just read guides, read kernels threads and their features, and you will find the best for you.
4.0.4 is leaked

not completely true.. there are many official 4.0.4 ROMs although they have one thing in common with the 1st leaked version.. eMMC_CAP_ERASE is enabled on all of them.

Better flash stock ICS before.
Then flash Siyah kernel, in recovery mode flash SuperNexus and after that flash Siyah again, because most ROMs packages are overwrtting kernel.

@przemico510, I've heard ICS on the S2 drains the battery like crazy I want to try and avoid that, is it my only option?
Hi
You won't go to far wrong if you read the installation guide and FAQs from your chosen rom thread. Also other users of that rom will have shared there experiences with various kernels regarding battery life and what tweeks and mods improve or worsen their experience. That's probably going to answer your questions quicker than asking them here. Also please back up your EFS folder once root access is gained. All the best.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I've read that there's a few methods of sorting the battery out by either leaving the phone a week or so and it will gradually get better, draining and re-charging, hard factory reset etc
So I'm going to upgrade to ICS, root the phone, install needed apps like CWM, flash the SuperNexus ROM and then flash the SiyahKernal
Thanks for all the replys guys, can't wait to get started and fiddling around with all the different things. (I don't have the phone in my possession yet, sadly)
When you get the phone please check which variant of the sgs2 you have. If you you use the wrong software on the wrong phone the results are often terminal.

The advantages of overclocking is the obvious statement! Every CPU is clocked higher in manufacturing its just easier and safer to clock them lower. There is risks of overclocking, those risks are the obvious 1's too. You do not need to overclock your CPU in the Galaxy S2 (my opinion). Just use a custom Rom and Kernel. You will notice how responsive, smoother and faster in every way compared too stock it is.
Most people seem to be gone to Jelly Bean 4.1 so maybe have a look at those Roms.

Please reply quickly as i really want to install this rom QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE ASAP
Find the CM10 thread in Development, download the rom & put it on your internal/external SD card (or use the Odin version if there is one if you prefer). Either way, follow the install instructions on the first page of the thread to the letter. Done.
No need for anyone to give you numpty instructions here when they're already in that thread.

Sgs2 ics 4.0.4 help!!

Hey,
So I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 to ICS 4.0.4 before 1-2 months. The new graphics and extra features looked really great at first, but 2 hours after using it on normal applications (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter.) It froze and did nothing, like literally just freezes at the screen it lagged on. This has been happening continuously for the past 2 months and I'm really sick of it, I upgraded my phone and my dad's one (both SGS2I9100) using Samsung Kies, ever since that, it just keeps freezing like 4 times a day and I have to take off my battery and re-put it so it can reset since nothing will do this.. The old the firmware I had was the really amazingly going well and never lagged even once (I can't remember which firmware though). I'm a total noob, I didn't and don't have my phone rooted or some stuff like that, expect downloading APKs off the internet lol.
I really want someone to help me in this, I know there must be a solution since I don't think I'm the only one who has been annoyed by this, specially when it happens on a daily routine. I searched over the forums and found nothing. I know there must be something talking about the issue but I'm too nooby to understand the article titles which might be a solution of my problem.
Please help me in my problem it really bothers me and xda is my last hope...
Thank you all.
Note: please use simple terms because I really won't understand, and if you do, please teach me them lol.
Well, first of all your up for some reading.
While you go from thread to thread you'll run into the world of ROMs and flashing.
The first thing you have to know is that your device comes with 4 things:
1) Hardware (dah)
2) Kernel (link between Hardware & OS)
3) ROM (OS)
4) Modem (Baseband for your country / Region)
You are actually on 4.0.4, It's Kernel is known to suffer the brick bug issue.
Flashing is used to get the best from your device, in relation to your personal user experience. You got plenty of options like Stock Roms and Custom Roms, as well as Stock Kernels and custom kernels.
When flashing stock roms you get the chance to get rid of your carrier stuff (bloatware and animation boot) by getting an unbranded ROM (samsung official stock rom), you can either go down to previous versions (Gingerbread, ICS 4.0.3) or even go up (Jelly bean leaked ROM). Carrier branded or not, it's just a matter of choice.
When flashing custom roms you get a whole lot of roms to choose from. The most common are CyanogenMod (CM), RR (revolution remix), Omega and etcetera. These roms take the best of the stock roms and leave the worst, so you'll get a more personalized experience.
When Flashing custom kernels your trying to get the best performance for your ROM, this means you can use a stock ROM with a custom kernel.
Modems are basebands that let your carrier network function in your region / country, so if you flash a modem, your network might not work, so you'll have to flash another modem and so on.
Check all that out and if you decide to go on flashing, we are here to help you on the easiest / safest way to do it.
rembember to read and re-read all first.
you did notice this is now your official post right?
Okay I kinda get it, can you kindly please send me links that will help my problem? I'd rather downgrade with Stock ROM than a costum one.
Another thing, will it affect anything that has to do with my Carier? and does my phone have to be rooted in order this to work? If so how can I?
Many thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
try sammobile.com
they have plenty of stock roms.
I'd personally advice you to get 4.0.3 stock ROM. What's you carrier? I could look it up for you while you learn about flashing/downgrade.
That's what I was thinking of too, and it's Orange IL (Israel)
I need you you to tell me how do it too please

When the guy doesn't read it was a good advice to start doing it, because it's not really allowed to ask everything that is allready asked so many times.
When he actually does read, but doesn't understand (which I don't think because he's asking basic question about steps he must take) then it's maybe better to rethink if he's really going to flash something because he doesn't know what he's doing

Why don't you just flash a stock rom through Odin? No offence but I'm serious, the lack of knowledge you show here by asking about Recovery to me seems to be a sign you shouldn't root it at all, and learn a whole lot more about flashing and more if you want to.

[Q] Help with Rooting and some other questions

Hello
So i just wanted to make a small and clear thread where newbies like me can come and check the most common answers.
Okay so my questions are -
I am Running 2.3.6 Gingerbread Stock on my i777
I bought this phone second hand so i dont know about the past of this phone.Also i bought this phone is US and then came to India.
My Phone -
Stock Kernel - i777UCKK6
Stock Rom - 2.3.6 - Gingerbread
I've read that many people are having problems on galaxys2root.com and have even bricked their phone by Installing wrong kernels.
So can you please tell me which Kernel i should flash ?
And which rom should i flash ?
Also will Flashing a new rooted ROM on my phone Lock my phone with At&t ?
Search and read.

It's best to stay away from that site entirely. The site developer has multiple similar sites for many different phones, and apparently does it for the money, and is not really very good at helping people. Also, while he is a developer, his products sometimes, as you mentioned, cause severe problems.

Some of the JellyBean based roms will. SHOstock3 will. Most of the others won't. If that happens, you can unlock it again for free with GalaxSim Unlock, as long as you download it from the developers thread and not purchase it on the market.

Just wondering

If you aren't willing to search and read thoroughly you can't expect support here. If we're willing to go out of our way to help and explain things we sure as heck expect you to do the same for your own questions before posting.

Hey, why don't you read Creepy's stickies for once? It's got everything you need. Without reading the stickies you won't follow the tips properly even if someone spoon feed you.
Hi Creepy, thanks for the wonderful tutorials. I have an unlocked 777 and rooted with that stickies only.
On a side note, ShoStock 3 will not cause loosing the unlock status for every devices. I haven't lost my unlock status after flashing ShoStock 3.
