What is the proper way to know if a ROM will work with stock Kernel or LB ? I want to try out many of these roms but due to lack of information in the threads I find my self stock on only 2 different ones to choose from ...
Is there a list somewhere of Z2 Locked Bootloader ROMs would save me hours of questioning ... /?
Thanks to anyone who can send me in the right direction...
Here's one I want to try Liquid Smooth... Any info on the kernel here ?... what about indication of LB or UB / no ? So now what

Right but for the record there are just 3 correct ? OR is there another... that part has me, I gotta dig threw these other flashy roms and that gets me sad when I see no updates ... I am excited to try yours the other 2 were a little better than OK... just wanted to try some of these others (miss my CM based roms ... But what can I do right ..
Some of the others seem like they might work ... but I don't want to mess up my phone and invest multiple hours getting it back .. .plus I have to have a full internal backup with an LB xperia and that sucks.. kinda kills the use of backup / restore... if you can grasp what I mean by that..

There are more roms that are stock based, almost all stockbased roms for Z2 are in Development section, there are a couple of non stock based roms in the same section
I recomend backing up your TA and unlocking your bootloader
That way you will have flashing freedom and also if you need your warrenty back you can flash a stock FTF and restore your TA partition

OMG OF COURSE I want that : sadly I have a YES flag on the locked bootloader flag... this is why I cry I wish to have a Unlocked one... Here in Canada it seems everyone has a bootloader locked : YES
how can I fix this ? isn't it perm. only way to fix is to literally sell and buy a phone from some distant land ... hmm

For your bootloader to be unlocked your rooting status must say yes or rooting status alowed= yes
If it says no you cant unlock your bootloader

I know and thank you greatly for your attention just thought ? or might not be such a bad idea ? that someone with the time ability and care could help us out by making a Sticky thread with the few that actually are available some seem 50/50 and I'm tempted to try but in actual fact that could cost me hours ..

From your signature I assume you're using Mik_os's CM7 port? Correct me, if I'm wrong.
If that is the case, get rid of the fix, slap on the old baseband with lgmdp and you're done! Mik_os's ROM uses the old baseband, not the new one (the Rom isn't based on the official 2.3.3).

Mik_os's baseband fix is only for his ROM and non other!! Because his rom is not based on the official GB, he doesn't support the new baseband. He uses the old one. I suggest you get rid of the fix!

Hi,
I just purchased the i9100 from someone today and I'm pretty sure that it's rooted. I checked the kernal and it is (2.6.35.7-RAGEmod-U1-v1.1b).
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Also which files would I need? Do I need to use a USB jig?
I have no idea what I'm doing, there is someone on kijiji (local selling/buying site) that says they will flash it back for me for $100, should I just do that?
Thanks everyone!
not sure what you would do, but what i am CERTAIN about is do not pay 100 bucks... just go to the dev section and read up there.. factory reset (turn phone off, hold volume up, power and home keys simultaneously)
Sorry I wasn't being more specific, but what I wanted to do is unroot the phone. When my phone powers on I get a GR check rom boot logo?
My phone seems to be missing a lot of default apps compared to my brothers SGS2.
well theres this program called s-root which can on click unroot your phone. not sure if you need a specific kernel though. ask around in this forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414

Just unrooting the phone should work with SuperOneClick (download to your PC, enable USB debugging on the phone, connect it to the PC and click on the big "unroot" button. If you are running some custom ROM you want to here rid of you will have to flash complete new clean software from Samsung.
But to the missing features: you said you have an older Galaxy S1, oder course there are other (better) apps and a totally new software on the successor, the SGS2.

Yes that's a custom rom, checkrom v5, go to the stock rom thread, pick an upto date rom, ki8 is the newest.
Flash using odin, guide is also in the thread.
That's the only way to remove a custom rom and kernel and restore the removed apps.

You are on a custom rom or a modified stock rom for shure. If you want to get back to stock then you have a thread in the development section that hosts all the stock roms or are links to them at least. Flashing a stock rom will also unroot you phone.
Now as for the flashing part you need to read the stickies search for a youtube video before you do it. You need to understand that flashing has its risks. Although I flashed my phones at least 50 times and never bricked any of them so far you still need to be warned. Its not complicated at all but you need to understand the basic steps. Good luck.

same here I've developed for galaxy 3 and can't find anything usefull for this phone since its all MINI/PRO/Active
Also did anyone test bootloader unlock on Xperia Live?
How come none of you realised that Mini/MiniPro/Active/Live ARE THE SAME INTERNALLY?
All of these ways to root, unlock bootloaders etc. are almost universal amongst these devices.
If you want to unlock the Bootloader you either do it the Sony Ericsson way by going to their site, Or you do it the Test Point way.

so what you are saying is i can flash a MINI ROM on my Live?
Sure you can. You will most probably end with a fixed landscape though, like i did with my Active when i tried to flash a Mini Pro rom for the lulz.
Most mods and fixes especially between Mini/Active/Live are interchangable. If you check the Themes and Apps subforum you will see that most mods are for all the "mini's", or at least compatible with them.
Plus making a Rom for the Live is pretty easy. Just download dsixda's Kitchen. Unpack the FTF file and retrieve system.sin . Convert it into .img with SIN2IMG ( to be honest that was the biggest pain in the ass, to find a SIN2IMG that wouldn't go fubar on me). And you're done!
If you have been using dsixda's kitchen before its pretty much straightforward. If you want some links just PM me.

thanks this really helps, i just can't seem to figure out the unlock bootloader, whats with the paperclip thing someone got a video tut or pic i dont get it.
It's no secret that the Live/Mini/Mini pro/Active/Ray had the same chipset but it doesn't hurt to double check since not all of them hv the same Camera/Display. It beats having to not double check and end up bricking ur phone. But Thnx 4 pointing it out bro
All i did was strip a cable on both ends, one long one short. Wrap the long part around a needle, and the short part on the Ground of the phone. ( i think its the middle single metal). Then all you have to do is what you are being told in s1tool. Its pretty easy. I had goosebumps when i first tried it but its a lot easier than it seems.

Well "bro", you wont end up bricking your phone. As long as you have a working Fastboot you're gonna be just fine. Even if you screw up fastboot ( i dont know how that can happen) all you have to do is a rescue on the Flashtool, in order to revert to the locked bootloader and start all over again.
About the SIN2IMG... I have tried over 7 different SIN2IMG.exe's Most of them failed. I couldnt even bother with compiling the sin2img on linux. I have a working one for Windows7 x64, but i need to find it in the mess i have made of my files
This one says it works specifically for xperias.. but haven't tried it yet so i'll try
last thing I'm asking how the hell do i get the sticker off without damaging it? and put it on the right place of course
oh what are the chances that it fails
I recommend the SE website method mostly bcuz you can re-lock the bootloader with this method after unlocking and its much simpler in my opinion

ok but you need to give your Imei (SE method ) and if its bricked you can't go to service center or am i wrong, how can you relock it btw?
If its Bricked you can Flash with with the SE Flasher tool method ( search if interested )

Hi guys,
just got my SIII yesterday, I love it, but I am a flashoholic and I admit it.
And since all of us have to decide for ourselves how much sin we can live with, I decided to go and flash a custom ROM on it very soon.
I just wanted to know: Is it possible to have a non-Samsung based ROM (read: Android 4.2 ROM) with the motion features incorporated and if so, do they exist?
Because I had a look into the Android Development section, but there are way to many ROMs for me to have a look at all of them
I know it might sound like a stupid question, but I kind of like the motions lol
Thanks in advance!
No, Samsung features are present only in Sammy-based ROMs, because the require the framework

Thought so... Too bad though
Aren't there roms like the de-sensed HTC roms, which offer the HTC sense features but have a complete stock feel (and I am not referring to just another launcher or so, because I already installed nova
Still even though I am a flashoholic I also wonder, is it really worth it, because it seems like my SIII flies at the moment

What he said!
Edit: I have tried a couple of roms. My ORD has now greatly reduced from my HTC Desire days, but I still crave the occasional flash. But so far I can't justify moving away form stock based roms. The missing features outweigh the need for a bit more speed. Even if I do prefer sleek and simple but pretty over bloated and "in your face about it".
If the custom ROM based on the STOCK ROM, does the motion still intact?
Yes.
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077019 . It is a mix of stock, AOSP, PA and Jkay's features.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for!
Super excited about that project.
It seems to have motion indeed It seems like you can also change dpi per app, but that's a bit redundant for me

So basically this is a Touchwiz rom, without the Touchwiz interface, but keeping the Touchwiz features? Or is it AOSP with some Touchwiz features built in?

Beats me It has the motion options and is AOSP based
I don't know what witchcraft it is, but I don't care either
THIS will be the first rom for my SIII, I am sure
I hope I'll be as lucky with my choice for this Rom as I have been with mine for the tf700. Picked one and kept on getting better. Never tried another Rom once! That sdbags fellow (the developer of that rom) sure can cook a nice jelly bean treat
By the way, guys, can one of you tell me the easiest way to root, unlock and flash CWM or TWRP on this baby?

There is a Toolkit out there for the S3 that does all that. Look it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488

Thanks! Since I already have some data on my SIII it's better to first root it.
Back up the data using titanium bu to a micro sd and then unlock? Am I right?

I moved my sensitive data to SD card and then removed it from the device. TB doesn't really work without ROOT access anyway. After that I rooted my phone with the toolkit and installed a recovery. I did try doing a Nandroid in recovery just in case I wanted to go back to stock or whatever, but for some reason, Nandroid has yet to work for me on the SIII. So I took a deep breath and flashed a custom ROM all the same. Never looked back since.

I thought you can still root without any data loss.
Hmm. If that isn't the case then I'd better follow up on your plan
No, no, no... Sorry you misunderstood. You CAN root without loosing data. I rooted with no data loss. But I copied the data over just in case. Root away. Shouldn't have any issue.

Hopefully you have a Nandroid backup to return to.
I had the same issue when I flashed his ROM on my G2. You have to go into buildprop and change the carrier to SPR or spr

Did you read cloudy's Q&A in the second post for his ROM? There is a guide to get the data menu working on sprint/Verizon.

Did you ever solve this ? I have the same problem now
Yes I did
Hi,
I gave the phone to a Lab that diagnosed that the Flash part of the processor was damaged.
They replaced it and it works.
P.S: my Build is kvt49l.ls990zv4
Is it means i running Cloudy?
Thanks for your concern!

How did you do it? I have the problem now
I went to a Lab
Apparently, bc's i (maybe) made the flashing not like the op stated - the EMMC flash part in processor was damaged.
I paid more then 100$ to replace it.
The wierd thing: i still have Build KVT49L.LS990ZV4 in my settings (software information) But acually don't think i really on this rom(!!!)

So happy to meet U here.
I downloaded what supposed 2be this Rom and i had a ciritical issu that finished with harming the Flash part of the processor.
I remember 2many users complained about an issues after flash it.
I'm affraid that something with the OP tut is not clear.
We all need 2remember that most of us do not read fluent english.
I made in the past on a several devices Root & Rom flashing via TRWP without any issue.
I supposed 2know this...but in that Rom combine with that thus is my 1st on the G3 & that i am using the LS990 on a GSM/LTE out of u.s ---> it make it harder 4me.
So yes - i do need a good explanation on how to install this rom, how to setup everything.
I will need the explanation as you show a 4 years old kid how to count to 10.
Thank you very much!

Ok well I think it still has to stay with sprint rom just because of radios,modems,apns,hardware,software ect....
