Hey guys, I had my GT-9100 running resurrection remix lollipop but recenly my phone started doing ranmdom crashes and the camera most of the time wouldn't work so i decided to update RR to marshmallow which someone told me that in order to install it i was going to need flash back the stock rom and repartition my phone, i tried flashing the stock rom with odin and everything was great until resettIng my phone it rebooted to recovery displaying a bunch nof errors in red and now it's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-9100 logo after rebooting. I think i flashed the wrong rom, I'm not sure which one is the correct since you need to know the country and carrier to download the rom, is there any way to obtain this information like from a serial number or could someone tell me which one is the correct one, i'd really appreciate that. Thank you.

Hi Guys
first things first - i am really new to android development so apologies if i am not making any sense...
Device
I have a Samsung Galaxy 2 in the UK on o2
background
I wanted to play with new roms so i rooted the phone and downloaded clockwork rom manager, but could never get it to work, it would always come up with an error screen when i tried to flash a rom using it or ender recovery mode using it.
i used Odin and that works, so after a brief, accidental stint on a US At&T rom that (obviously) didnt work i downloded lite'ning rom and installed it. and that worked fine.
current problem
I recently downloaded an ICS Samsung rom and have installed it using Odin, apart from the occasional glitch it works fine, i cant seem to screenshot so the details are below
Model
GT-19100
Android Version
4.0.3
Baseband version
19100XXLPB
Kernel Version
3.0.15-19100XXLPB-CL99600

i wanted to flash Resurrection Remix ICS ROM v9.6 for Galaxy S2 i9100 but when i go into CWM it is saying i am not rooted, so i ran DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit but is still showing as non-rooted
it seems like my phone isnt allowing the installation of Busybox etc.. on the device, it's saying the folders are read only?
i have the correct drivers, and have selected USB debugging and unknown sources.
any help gratefully received.
many thanks
David

zergRush isn't for ICS ROMs. You just need CF-root flashed from Odin.
did u try to flash cf root in odin??

download this,unzip,put in odin in pda and flash it.
think this will help
this appears to have worked! - will try to flash Resurrection Remix ICS ROM v9.6 and feedback
thanks!
flash worked fine - all seems good.
Apart from some of my previously downloaded apps are not showing up in the 'my apps' section of the google play store for re-download.
any ideas why this might be? - incompatible with ICS maybe?
thanks all
Hello,
Long time reader here. I finally made an account recently because I finally wanted to Root my phone and mess around with Cyanogenmod.
My question is this: I have an unlocked, unbranded Samsung GT-i9300 that I purchased from Newegg back in the summer time and I have still yet to receive any sort of update (still on 4.0.4). Can someone explain to me the whole stock updates scenario? I would have thought buying an unlocked, unbranded phone I would have at least gotten updates faster than the Verizon S3. Now.. I know I can flash Cyanogenmod and be done with it. Which I have which leads me to the last question. What happens if I flash my phone with the 4.1.2 stock rom that was just released in Poland recently? Will it work? Why wouldn't it? Does the baseband really matter as far as compatibility? (PDA? CSC?)
Thank you for your time.
I answered my own questions. Thanks for looking
I was so excited I forgot to elaborate a little.
I was successfully able to root my phone using cf root / odin, install clockworkmod recovery, install cyanogenmod 10 then re-flash back to stock using triangleaway, and a stock rom from samsung firmware using odin.
I had thought I bricked my phone when it was in an endless loop on the splash screen but I was able to get into android recovery mod and do a format/wipe/clean cache. *phew*
Hey guys,
I assume that someone has previously posted a thread about this issue but my attempts to reach any have proved pointless.
Therefore I hope someone could just enlighten me as to what I could do to solve this issue.
I flashed this aosp rom on my Galaxy SIII (I9300 international) but I decided to go back to the custom stock rom I was previously using but when I tried to restore my backup the phone got stuck in bootloop in the samsung loading screen.
Thus, I tried to flash a new custom rom from the ground up the the phone is still behaving the same way.
Can someone help out, please?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!
I would advise you to use this rom (its build on touchwhizz but with many improvements)

Just be sure to select the right one

Use Odin to return your phone to official stock... if stuck in bootloop after flashing boot into recovery and factory reset.Once you have your phone up and running then you can go back to flashing a custom rom.

The device is already rooted, you just need to download any custom ROM you want, reboot to recovery, and flash your desired ROM from there.

first of all thanks for your answer.
If I understand properly
therefore, I'll have not any problem because of 4.4.4
that is correct ?
Yes, that is correct. The device is already rooted, with custom recovery, which means you can just reboot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash any desired ROM you want.
@@[email protected]........No disrespect intended, but this is "flashing 101" basics stuff........
The fact that you are asking it, tells me that you don't have the experience needed to do this comfortably.....
That's not a problem though.....we all start from the bottom, and learn as we go.....
But that being the case, i'd advise that you don't do anything to your phone until you've read, learnt and completely understood the processes behind the flashing procedure. It's best to understand what you are doing beforehand, rather than trying to figure out what went wrong afterwards.......

Hello everyone I have a question to ask about the customization of my Galaxy SII GT-i9100 ... I followed the guide present in the Carbon Rom thread for the flash of the device and everything went well...now I have the TWRP with the Rom, which is not a splinter anyway, so I would need to try others, as I realize that Android 9 is a little too much for the Galaxy SII. Unfortunately, after flashing roms like Lineage OS 14, the device gets stuck on boot animation, but it is not the only Rom that does so. Can anyone explain to me how to possibly install different roms, since unfortunately I did not understand the mechanisms that underlie the modding of the Galaxy SII? Between Pit files and kernels to flash with Odin, I am a little lost xD Also I would like to know if, by flashing the stock rom with Odin, there is the risk of brick to start from scratch, without flashing the pit or anything. Thanks

hmmmm it is becuz there is rollback protection so once you try 9, no way back to 7.1 or so. restock will just brick emmc.
idk about what rom is good
Samsung's official firmwares are much more stable for GT-I9100 rather than custom ROMs for it. So, there is almost no reason to install the custom ROMs.
Now you have to go to a good repair shop (preferable official Samsung's).
