A little confused as to wich roms are flash able for the t-mobile variant...thanks in advance
xtrestolite my friend. But you have to flash custom recovery (which mean warranty void)

Hello All,
I just changed from having a sony xperia x10 to getting a new SG2 and I am brand new to the SG2 forums. I am currently with Rogers wireless in Canada, but the phone was originally a Bell Mobility phone that was unlocked. I do see that superuser is installed on the phone (in which I assume that would be it has already been rooted) and I am able to use the phone on Rogers now.
I now want to install custom ROMs, but I do see that it is quite different than what I am used to. I see that custom kernels are all based on your existing Kernel (please forgive me if that is incorrect...), and that custom ROMS are tailored to specific kernels.
My current Kernel is
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
root(at)DELL103 #2
Model number - GT-i9100M
Android version - 2.3.3
Baseband Version - I9100MUGKF6
Am I able to change the kernel, so that I can install custom ROMs onto my phone? Or will the current firmware suffice? Thank you very much for your help, it is much appreciated!
Do you mean a kernel the full firmware or a custom rom .
kernel is upgraded with a later firmware or a custom rom .latest custom rom will usually have latest kernel or custom kernel .
Decide what custom rom you want and follow the instructions .
Rough draft to update to cognition rom latest i would
Flash a matching stock rom KG6 via Odin .
Flash matching CWM and Root Kernel KG6 .
Boot phone and set up .
Follow instructions in rom post which is usually copy to sd card boot to recovery mode and install zip via CWM .
Your Firmware is KDD thats very old now .
Only must check is Bell Canada and do you need to flash a different modem and or CSC for that area .

That is a TON of help. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Does anyone know if the current Bell SG2 can install an EU ROM?
Yes, I've installed a custom ROM (lightening ROM) which is based off a European ROM on my Bell's SGS II.
Hi Everyone,
I was trying to root my phone using the insecure kernel and Odin but once this was flashed, my phone got stuck at the boot logo. I can get to Download mode to flash another kernel or stock ROM. I can also go into Recovery where I am getting a lot of errors such as E: can't mount /cache, can't mount /recovery log. Wiping the cache and factory reset don't seem to work as they produce more errors.
The problem is I did not note down my baseband and kernel version before rooting. So now , I don't really know which stock ROM to flash to get my phone working again. Does anyone of you know how I get know my baseband and kernel version to choose an appropriate Stock Kernel and ROM? And does anyone know what I might need to do to get the phone working again?
Thanks very much for any help, guys.

Your location and network is the deciding factor .
You require stock rom not plus a kernel.
Stock Roms .and csc

Hi jje,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm from the UK and the phone is locked to T-mobile..
I have tried flashing a stock rom for T-mobile in the UK (BOKE3:http://www.multiupload.com/GY05UJM6DQ
Firmware info: PDA:BOKE3|PHONE:BOKD1|CSC:TMUKE3) and my phone is still stuck on the boot logo and showing the mount errors in Recovery mode.
Also, I was not too sure whether to flash the stock kernel that comes with it and I did it. You're saying that I don't need to flash the stock kernel. So, now that I've already done this, will this affect my phone? Do I need to flash another stock kernel for it to work?
Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it very much.
Is it possible for us to repartition to 2 partitions only?
If it's any help I am suffering the same issue can't mount /cache when I flash any rom other than the current t-mobile (UK) 2.3.5 which I got from sammobile
Can't embed links so just download the last UK t-mobile image shown in their list
If anybody can point me towards a solution as I am more used with HTC phones as from previous experiance t-mobile will be really slow about releasing ICS (they where about 3 months behind the official HTC desire ROMs)
I have a SGY Ace GT-S5830i with Reincarnation ROM on it. Its unlocked to any network, I want to flash back to stock rom to try other ROMs for the phone, 1st Can I just flash over the rom im on or do I have to go back to stock? 2nd I have been looking for a stock rom for my phone im in Ireland and I cant find a rom for my network 3. ASll I can see are stock roms for networks 02 and meteor will they work or will they screw up my unlocked network phone? In other words will I lose my network unlock?
Cheers.
a while ago i updated my galaxy s4 to kitkat and rooted it , at which time i didn't know about Knox warranty void. recently i was trying to flash my i9505 with the official lollipop firmware but to no success and in Odin mode the Knox counter is at 1. and after much googling i found that once the Knox warranty is ticked there i no way of going back and i cant install any higher official firmware because they are Knox enabled. so my question is is there anyway to flash my s4 with official lollipop firmware from sammobile or if its not possible what about custom roms can i flash my phone with them if so please do tell custom roms which are very similar with the official Samsung ROM.
additional my mobiles is originally a sprint variant of s4 which is now unlocked so must i use the firmware for l720(snapdragon) or any firmware for i9505 works. also i was able to flash CWM recovery on it with odin with out any problem but i always get error when i try to flash it with official firmware as soon as it starts and in odin mode it says write protection is enabled..............any help will be appreciated.
Hi xda....
i have a problem with my s3 i9300 , when i flash a custom rom the phone boot normaly but he say " no sim dedected" and no network......so any solution for this problem please.
Make sure the phone is running the latest bootloader and modem before flashing a stock ROM.
If the phone is running the latest bootloader and modem, it could be that the ROM is not compatible with the phone.
