if you wan't to upgrade you don't need to unroot, just flash firmware trough odin (addicted to your country)
also to unroot just flash with oding (stock firmware) and wipe data/factory reset and done,
threads are everywhere in general just look around

Since this topic is started might aswell use it instead of making a new one...so my question is:
From what I've read, in order to install CM7.2 on a Galaxy S2, you also need to install a custom kernel...so if I did all that, and want revert back to my original ROM and kernel, I just flash a stock ROM from Sammobile? Or the Kernel will remain the custom one (if so, how do I change it back to the stock one)?

Nope your kernel won't be left until you flash a Rom which has no kernel, but all Samsung roms out there have kernels inside the flashable tar or zip, you ain't smart if you don't provide a kernel which is made specially for the Rom

you don't say which specific device you are using, nor where you got the info from that you flashed... if I were you, grab your original stock firmware here (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) and flash back to stock. After that, read read read regarding any changes you want to make and ALWAYS have a nandroid backup created in case you mess something up again and need to restore quickly...
Thanks for the reply but I went there and the files link was broken sorry,here's my specifications:
Model: GT 10.1 P7500
Country: Nigeria
I used superuser to root it.
And kernel 1.4ghz stuff to increase the speed<<this is what caused it.
Can u pls send a link to the stock frame ware!thx

I assume you created an account with the website to download, I selected a couple and did not have an issue. Another site (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P7500) you can try. The onus is on you to search and find what you need (I have no idea what your stock firmware is), I am just going to point you in the direction to make it easier.
Thankyou but bro,the country that I bought it in was not listed,all I need is a frameware with english language and makes my 3g work!thx

post an Odin screenshot if it doesn't go through
Hi guys!, first of all thank you for your support, here are the updates, i try flashing it via odin and a error was show and it was imposible to flash it that way, because i was desperate and impatient for having it back, i talk to a "expert" friend of mine, he told me that the problem was that the bootloader was locked by verizon, thats why i cant flash it, so he rooted the phone, and download e-z unlocker app or something like that, he install the app and then proceed to unlock the bootloader, everything went well, the turn off the phone for putting it on download mode but the phone wont turn on, it doesnt even charge it was dead, hard bricked :crying: ,so i reallyze that all my impatience went wrong and now i have a 900 dlls brick (im from mexico thats whhy is so expensive, a couple months ago) and well the only brigth side is that im going to try guarantee and say that the phone just experience a sudden death case and hopefully the belive me i´ll keep you guys updated! thanks for the support!
first of all, I asked for an Odin screenshot.
second of all, how can the bootloader be locked by Verizon if it's not a Verizon phone? i9300 is an international unlocked phone. If you messed with the bootloader, then I don't think there's anything you can do

[Q] General Q's for galaxy s2 :)

Hello , I want to make few important (for me ) questions about Roms , kernels , etc etc because i plan to Upgrade My galaxy s2 gt-i9100!
answer as many questions you can .. This will help me a lot :good:
1 : Right now i have GB 2.3.3 rooted , with stock JB will be even faster i guess right? If yes I would like to know what's the best ROM'S to use I want fast Phone , with good UI and multi window if possible?
2 : I would need costum Kernel too ? its dangerus to stay at official kernel and flash Rom's for test? If other kernel is needed , Suggest me the most balanced and SAFE from brick ! IMPORTANT !
3 : I used a program called eMMC check and show me Brick Bug : NO. sane chip , so i guess Im 100% safe from unwanted brick ****s? ( If i do everything fine ) XD
4 : Any suggests about the procces? Many of you have done this lot of times , so you have tricks that will help you for a safe root / install of rom /kernel
5 : Any way of backup the correct rom in case of fail? I tryed CMW recovery and this **** show me an error when starting the procces of backup haha I read on forum this happens because of stock ROM and Kernal , So i will not need backup , in case of fail , i will just download the files from samobile >odin > and done right?
6 : in any case ! My phone will work on my carrier right? i will need any edit / mod to work on gsm networks etc?
I think this is all i will need , the problem is I searched a lot.. on google too , but there are soooo many opinions , sooo many posts that make me crazy ! I cant choose the best because simple I have not the exp to do that ! Thats why i will need you guys
Thank you a lot in advance ! :laugh:

1. Against forum rules to answer this. Read the sticky.
JB is not necessarly faster, it depends on how you use your device. Yes the software is an improvement in some cases but, as said, doesn't mean that it's faster.
2. You can root with custom kernel, and if you flash a rom they always come with a kernel. JB kernles are free from brickbug, the only vulnerable version was 4.0.4.
3. Read 2
4. Rooting process? C'mon there are thousands of root guides all over the internet (especially XDA).. if we spoonfeed you the appropriate information, you wont learn much. So go search for a guide yourself, they all fit for different people.. and one of them will fit for you
5. CWM is the best way to backup, it literally backups everything. Yes, it will work much much better on custom kernels.
6. Yes your phone will work on your carrier even if you install custom roms.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! I feel more ready about modding my phone now thanks to you ! For now i dont have other questions !
forgot to ask ! how may i install multiwindow? I know i will need jelly bean , but what exacly version? and how i can find the needed scripts? thanks again !
Multi window isn't officially available on the S2.....there is at least one custom ROM which offers this, but you'll have to research it.....
Hint....look for the sticky thread for a list of ROMs and scroll to stock or Sammy based and you'll find it at the beginning of the alphabet lol......

Ive installed with odin 4.1.2 ive found on samobile , but right after unlocking sim , i get another one msg to unlock pin for network , i can skip this , but phone is not connected to carrier.. I need unlocked bootloader? or ? help me ..

no network,but i have imei

hello guys,i have a s3 ,i installed neat rom with 4.3 and then i had a problem i was conected to the network and when i made a call it didnt work.
i flashed the xxemg4 modem worked then i installed the s4 revolution 9.1 but i had the same problem i installed again the xxemg4 modem but it not works,i flashed then a 4.1.2 firmware with odin,but i had the 00499******00 imei problem i flashed a 4.3 rom i had back my imei,but i can make calls
i made a efs backup,but i cant restore i,its a tar.gz that the neat rom made before flashing,but i cant restore it.so any help guys
thanks for your time
Your emei is stuffed if it starts with 0...
Dont go replacing /efs unless last resort. You need to flash a stock rom in odin. If your on 4.3 now just flash stock 4.3. That should get your emei back. Dont worry about baseband. It can be whatever as long as you have emei. Also check you have an APN as that is often reason for no calls.
