Hello,
I am well aware that you have a huge database full of threads and posts. I have been searching for over a week now to learn how to do a variety of things on my new smartphone. Unfortunately I've been unable to find what I've been looking for, anywhere. I've found vague details in a merge of threads - and frankly it's just scaring me more than anything. I feel like the best way of achieving a safe, good outcome, is by supplying you with specifics and requesting that someone helps me. It would mean a lot to me.
Phone specs
Model number: GT-19100P
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100PBVKI2
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.BVKI3
What I'm trying to achieve
Root my phone
Update the version of android on the phone to v4.1.2 (new user, so I can't put links, but go to: Samsung Updates -> Select device -> GT-19100P (Galaxy S 2) -> Look at the updates listed there).
I'm not sure I should list all of the things I've attempted to do, so I won't - but what I'm basically asking is: can someone please give me really simple steps and links as to how I can do this? Thank you so much.

Greetings venue users!
I'm the primary maintainer of the streak5 wiki page and I was wondering why there's no venue page.
I'm interested in laying down the foundation and would like to know what rom versions were previously released.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak#Official
is what i would like to create for the venue with help.
Here's a quick checklist of what I need (in no particular order)
Your rom version:
(How to find: check your phone's baseband version, it should be like GTOUB1A1xxxyy, where xxx is the version and yy is the carrier
Your build number:
Previously released pkgs:
(these are the actual updates and contain everything nesscerry)
Nandroid dump:
(if the version is not available as a pkg)
Having everything saved will make it much easier for past and future updates and unbricking. As I do not own a venue I rely on you to help me help you help yourself.
As I get more information, and hopefully pkgs, I will mirror them all on DJ_Steve's website for all to use (DJ_Steve is the primary custom rom cook for the streak5 and streak7)
Note: of course if you see that your version is already posted, a repost is not nesscerry, all I need is a single post for each unique version.
So far I have:
12837
12853 303 14
13040
13505 307 30
15367 319 14 http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Thunder_319_0_14.pkg
I have already browsed the forums here. But i really need help. I would like to identify the current ROM that im using. I wil attempt to give as much information as possible.
Under settings i have this:
Android Version - 4.2.2
Baseband - S:i500.04 V.EHO3
Kernel Version - 3.0.84-g5dd3308
[email protected] #1
Thu Jul 4 15:20:31 EDT 2013 (assuming this is the date of install)
AOKP Version - aokp_fascinatemtd_unofficial_2013-07-04
Build Number - aokp_fascinatemtd-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39
eng.brian.20130704.135607 test-keys
Now i partially answered my question with the above. AOKP Version. Perhaps i could use google to find that file. But I want the same MD5 file. as this I know is good. Could someone perhaps guide me a link to this posted XDA file.

TY.. ironic enough I happen to find it. Went to delete the post but my phone wouldnt let me login to XDA..
Kudos To Bdogg for this rom.. Since my original post I have tried running every rom the fassy has thats on XDA. Well anything 4.2.2 and below. This is the only one without any issues whatsoever. Im still using it to this day. To bad there isnt an update to this build.
Edit: I was told to ask this in this section of the forum so here goes.
Hi,
some time ago i bought a 50€ chinese tablet to mess with. It has android v4.0.4 on it and is very slow/ has a lot of useless stuff. In my attempt to educate myself on Android OS, I'm trying to build my own custom rom for it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690
I'm at the point where I could repack my work and flash it to this tablet, but all i've achieved so far is simplified version (less random apps and few tweaks here and there) of existing rom.
I want to update this tablet's android version but I'm completely unsure how I'm supposed to do that and google isn't being of any help as the search results are just bunch of those irritating blog posts that in nutshell just explain how to plug your usb cable into your pc.
No updates are provided by the manufacturer himself (duh).
Do I have to get desired android version's source code and integrate it with existing files or something?
Any help is appreciated.
Hello Gents,

it is not too expansive so do not worry
Regards for all
Recently my Dad bought a phone from Aliexpress that had device specifications that sounded great for what the price of the phone was. It seemed too good to be true however we decided to get it and see what it's like. Looking at the phone the specs are what the product page said it would be however the custom Android ROM installed on the device sucks. I really want to change it however I understand if this is not possible due to it being a knock-off phone that probably has highly specific hardware components.
I've managed to enable OEM Unlocking, and USB debugging.
I'm very new to Android custom ROM installing so I thought I'd ask if anyone can point me in a direction to achieve putting a custom ROM on the phone.
Phone Information:
Android Version: 12.0
Android Security Patch Level: April 1, 2022
Baseband Version: MOLY.WRB.W1449.MD.WG.MP.V111.4.P2, 2019/08/14 13:46
Kernel Version: 3.18.35 [email protected] #2 Tue May 24 21:44:38 CST 2022
Build Number: MRA58K Test-Keys
Custom Build Version: alps-mp-m0.mp23-V1.32.3_magc.cweg.m_P9
Model Number: S22 Ultra
CPU: Qualcomm 888+ Deca Core
RAM: 8GB
ROM: 256GB
Current Software Update: M1649839401286V198E_P1E3_S22_ULTRA_20220524-2120
I'll appreciate any advice. Thankyou!

Hello and good evening, @Deicide.Felidae
Welcome to XDA. I hope you'll always find and get the solution you require.
However, prior to your next posting please read the guidances that are stuck on top of every forum like
Note: Questions go in Q&A Forum
If you are posting a Question Thread post it in the Q&A forum. Technical discussion of Android development and hacking. No noobs, please. Device-specific releases should go under the appropriate device forum...

I bought the same phone on aliexpress. This is garbage, fake. The seller is a fraud. Firmware cannot be installed on such a phone. Watch the video
Hi i have also purchased this same device fake china Samsung s22+ ultra, i checked the device with benchmark and it was showing as Alps, then also discovered that it is an MTK 6580 DEVICE. I thought of an idea to flash the device with the original Samsung rom but somehow i have bricked it and won't turn on anymore and i cant find the right rom for it as the name of the device is not showing up with a rom when I do a search online. although it does show up with a scatter file. can anyone help with this?
