can someone please tell me what is the best official samsung firmware regarding modem and kernel .im on a vodafone contract .
i made the mistake of being a newbie and not knowing at the time how to back up my firmware i got with the phone .
i have found that most custom roms i have tried dont compare to my original software i got with the phone as far as battery life goes .
thanks in advance for any replies
thank you
In my opionion CyanogenMods rom is better in every way then the costum samsung fireware. Because loads of bloatware is not hogging your battery.
But keep in mind that i am a root noob myself.
On topic:Try looking for Intratechs thread. I think links to the official samsung firmware are provided
If i was helpfull please hit the thank you button. Cost you nothing but a click.

So,do you think that this is the most stable and fast rom?Because I had flashed many custom roms but I finally flashed original again!

Well stick with the original one if ur happy. Cynogenmod only has one stable release so far. I sugguest u wait a bit more.
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
Keep the original, because you're a clueless noob. Clueless noobs don't need custom roms. Don't take offense, I'm trying to help you avoid further bad feelings like this.
Well i understand your point but clueless noobs will always stay clueless by following your advice. I cannot speak for op but i like to know a bit more about the phone i am holding in my hand.

In that case their is plenty of information to read .Its noobs that wont read that get into trouble .
Genuine firmware the answer is simple use the latest release for your country from the stock rom thread .

Ok i'll read. Disregarding the fact that there are loads of contradicting text sources of information to be found on the net. I wont ask a question to confirm certain sources, because that is frowned upon.

Buddy i just joined and from what i have been reading through out the many threads here it is all down to choice. if i was you i do a little research and read peoples opinions from the threads..for example you are looking for a modem. Go the modem thread and see what people are saying...I know it is a bit to much to read but that is how you will gain knowledge and that will help you to tweak your phone to your choosing..Hope this helps
Not really bcause i agree with you. I am just saying dont flame a person for asking a question. Because in your opinion the awnser can be clear, but for the person reading it it probaply isn't hence the question.

DO NOT UPDATE TO .62

Search the forums there's a method to be followed

I know it's maybe rude, same as people who come and ask for fast solution without reading first. Then we answer, then come another one and so on.. What is purpose of forum if not to keep answers written, so that next user can find them and use them.
Also I only told you that you need to search before starting new thread, you were the one calling names
About me being helpful or not helpful, check my posts and see if I help people or not.
Bottom line is, I did help you, I told you there are already threads with that problem.
Try my way, it stands in my signature and its working for sure and Madfysh have right but again just try my way buddy.
And the right files you need is in the thread of mine what you need, not so much
Good luck

Why cant i update via kies? It says my device does not support it.
I'm a noob, so please understand... xD
ok.....so i was being nice in your other thread.....
first of all, remove the ?signature? you have there.... calling yourself a noob does not excuse you from searching
which leads me to the second point.....
you agreed to a set of rules when you signed up to become a member of these forums...you should re-read those rules before you create another thread....
I have been searching and it keeps saying no results. I was just hoping someone had the same issue and found an answeer.

really?
You both need to tone down a bit, please.
Generally speaking, do search in the thread first, say you're running AOKP ROM, then search within that AOKP thread for answer first. If generic issue like OP stated, search within this forum, i777. Then expand the search to XDA site and finally Google.
To OP, my suggestion, pls do provide more info if you want more useful help.
Saying "why kies stop working on my device" getting you nowhere since we don't know which ROM you're on, what made you say so, ......

It's too late but once again, for other readers, pls stop using zedomax thingy, seriously.
When you said "it doesn't work", how so?
+ Can't connect to PC? or
+ successfully connected but not getting the update?
Each person, each case is different.
P.S. "i have another post with a-lot more information on what is happening" is totally useless, next time post related info within the OP. No one will search your "another post" for info.
Thanks for the heads up. I cand do everything normally, but it says your device does not support updating via kies. I want sure if it was csc settings or what.

Hello guys, I was wondering if there is a available clean untouched stock JB 4.1.2 XWLS8 rom in zip format?
What i mean by zip is the file that can be placed on the sd card and flashed directly via CWM recovery?
I am not very comfortable with using PC Odin, and would prefer to install the rom from the phone. If one is available can someone provide link, if not then can our developers kindly make one. Thanks
yes there is. Plz search in the development section
Theres too many roms to choose from, could you kindly give me the link to a untouched official jb xwls8 one in zip flashable format? Thanks

There is only "too many" because you're been lazy and not trying to use search. Rule #1 of XDA rules is that you should use search before creating topics etc.
I'm not going to link you directly to rom because you wont learn nothing but if for example you had thought about using search you could have put xwls8 as keyword, set it to search titles only and chose the Galaxy S II Original Android Development forum as your desired forum to search.
Please think about what state this forum would be in if nobody used searched and created a topic asking other people where things are it would be a complete mess and to be honest its on that way anyway so please try and use search first before creating topics.
I am not a developer, there are too many roms, and also everyone is not familiar with all the technical jargon. The whole point of q and a is to help people and direct them in the right direction according to their needs. Atleast my question isnt as silly as some of the stuff you see here.

What technical jargon? You clearly knew the build number of rom so how hard was it to search for that number in dev area like I described??

Yes, however its not there to be spoon feed you, ie used instead of search button and expecting everybody else to do your searching for you.
Users are expected top use search first before creating topic. For the most part in 99% of cases somebody has already asked your question. In this case you could have answered it yourself within seconds by using search in way I described above.

Correct, However that is still no excuse.
Okay by providing one link it would have solved the issue, but some wise people like to prolong a simple answer. Happy days

The point is you can easily find this information yourself. You're obviously too lazy to do that, you also clearly feel entitled to someone else doing the 'easy thing' for you - searching for a link; do you honestly believe everyone has this info right at their fingertips ? Most don't. Most people would have to search for it. In the time you'd wait for someone who did have the link on hand without searching for it, you could find it yourself, flash the rom & be on your merry way.
This is something you're capable of doing yourself. It comes down to whether you do the 'easy thing', or whether someone else does it.
I don't see why someone else should, and I absolutely think your expectation that other people should do something so simple for you is appalling.
This isn't your carrier's forum. You haven't paid XDA any money so you have no right to expect anything of the people here.
hi all, i just updated my note i717 from 2.3.6 to jb 4.1.2 and then rooted it. i wonder if anyone could show me how to downgrade my rooted 4.1.2 to ics 4.x.x so i can flash the tmobile modem to unlock it ? is it even possible? thanks

I think that you can find your firmware on sammobile and flash it on Odin . but i dont think that flashing another modem will unlock your device , that can even cause damage to your device . Dont try to flash zip from another model in any situation
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda app-developers app
You don't need to downgrade your rom. You can flas a modem even if you don't have root. If you have a custom recovery than just flash the modem.

Better off to say Touchwiz sucks as opposed to 4.1.2 sucks. There are 2 developers that still work 4.1.2 and your going to come off real ungrateful for their efforts. There is not a thing wrong with their ROMs. You just have to know how to fine tune them to your needs. Don't bash them if you can't do it. Just don't run them.
Its not the ROM that bricked your phone

what are you talking about.. at which point in my post did i say anything about the developers and what they do? you should really stop posting things unless your going to help. it seems in every thread i make or post a reply your right there with something to say that doesn't help and your in most of the thread I have read with no help other than to say read and look at the super everything thread. Those arent answers when people are asking questions. If anyone takes the time and reads everything than they wont have to ask questions but that isnt going to happen and thats why forums are created, to help and support and I know i've said this before to you on one of my posts. He asked about downgrading and i said that 4.1.2 sucks. Did i say that the developers or the after market roms suck? No I didn't. I've used several different roms and all the after market roms run much smoother that stock.

i saw a post on free unlock this note posted by Crixley in the General room, he said that it has to be on ics then flash the tmobile modem for it to work that's why i want to downgrade, maybe i gota ask him, thanks tho :victory:

Dude, you need to seriously take chill pill. I was quoting you, 4.1.2. Sucks.
I have done nothing but try and help you, including coaching you on your ediquite here. With your clueless way of being vague, you are bad mouthing developers. We are trying to keep them here.
I wasn't the one who recently posted about running a Note 2 ROM on our device. No wonder you bricked yours.
Look at my post count, look at yours.
Look at my thanks count, look at yours.
You are everywhere posting about same issues, multiple times and in multiple threads. Issues that only you seem to have.
I have even PM'd you and tried to help, but you only read what you want to read and question more experienced members who have solid practices. Don't want my help fine, don't post without researching your personel issues. You won't believe anybody anyway.
Good luck..........geeeeezzzzz.
Yes I edited this, as I went on a tangent regarding this, but common decency got the better of me. I hope the other one was read though.

Ok. Don`t know about unlocking stuff. Here is a thread where you can find some stock Roms. The first one is 4.0.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647756
Just flash the J2 modem and follow the steps.
I had to replace my main board, so I took the ota update, then rooted, then realized I didn't unlock. So I flashed the J2 modem, unlocked, and kept that modem. It didn't do any better than the new modem that came with the update.
This thread turned pretty nasty for such a basic question.
Yeah it did. I flipped my ignore button to the on position and I'm goooood
