Hi there, I recently got a SGS2 LTE (basically same thing as the skyrocket). I want to know how to root and install the latest version of ICS if possible. I've read a bunch of guides but I think the kernels mentioned in those guides are outdated and there are so many files I don't know which one to use. Pretty confusing if someone can help.
This is the wrong section, for your phone you want to be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1399
I haven't heard of any ICS leaks for that phone so you are out of luck.
Don't use any roms from this section they will not work.
Dang sorry. Any idea if ICS will be coming to this phone by samsung or something?
Probably not. You're still in the wrong forum btw.

Hi
I am new to android. I am looking for the Official update to Gingerbread for my Galaxy Ace. When I say Official I mean from Samsung not one of the leaked/cooked versions. Is there a Gingerbread update available for the Galaxy Ace on Orange in the UK?

Hey!
All answers are here in DEVELOPMENT section, just find them, dont start the new thread like "how". All this what you asked is there. I understand, that you new, but if everyone starting thread how to flash(but the threads are already there), then I think we just havnt enough time to answers all these questions. I dont want to be rude, but just look in development section and read little, you get all you ANSWERS!
CHEERS!
Hello, I just bought samsung galaxy s2 and I was wondering about few things, so I hope people with more information about s2 and all this stuff can help me.
1) My android version is 2.3.4 but shouldn't it be a 2.3.3 or smth ?
2) It is a 16gb device, but on total space area it shows 11.50gb where is another 4.5 gb ? It is divided or what a hell?
3)GPS(navigation) seems broken or can't catch a signal(yes clear sky and stuff like that was done)
4)samsung kies says my 2.3.4 is the latest version is that true ? if not which version if the latest on this device in this time ?
5)my s2 is from t-mobile poland but in my country there is no t-mobile but it works with any sim card, does this make a difference ?
thx for any help ;]

You start by reading one thing you read is the rules question goes in Q&A.
1) My android version is 2.3.4 but shouldn't it be a 2.3.3 or smth ?
Dont know about smth
2,3,4 is a valid rom why go backwards
2) It is a 16gb device, but on total space area it shows 11.50gb where is another 4.5 gb ? It is divided or what a hell?
Use Google or search XDA question asked millions of times .
3)GPS(navigation) seems broken or can't catch a signal(yes clear sky and stuff like that was done)
Read the GPS faqs.
4)samsung kies says my 2.3.4 is the latest version is that true ? if not which version if the latest on this device in this time ?
Kies is not telling lies .That is the latest firmware the phone provider has uploaded . Their are later stock firmwares but you need to read learn and understand first .
5)my s2 is from t-mobile poland but in my country there is no t-mobile but it works with any sim card, does this make a difference ?
To what ??
You need to start reading all the FAQS and gudes and stickies .
Ignorance is no excuse for bricking your phone .

Most of the answers to your questions are in the links he provided. So more informative than you think.
Well I serched but if you know those answers or some of them you might as well share

Seriously? No one wants to re-type answers that can be found by you clicking on a link.
Yes there are more current versions, but you must understand, to use the device more than just a conversation with your girlfriend or smth.., there are no shortcuts you need to read and believe me, it's addictive when you'll know what you wanna do.
good luck..

You may have mistaken this site for Samsung Support. It isn't.
Folks on here help out of a sense of community, they don't get paid for it.
The person you just told to feck off is very knowledgeable and answers a heck of a lot of questions nearly every day.
I am on the same T-Mobile UK network as you and have downloaded from here the very ROM you are looking for, although that has been updated since them. I could easily do the same search on here and point you the link, but would you know what to do with the file? Or have you already fully read the Odin flashing instructions on here?
My first time here was with the HTC Compact III, I read for at least a week all the stickies at the top of each section. When I was sure I wanted to flash a rom, I read and re-read the thread and was as well prepared as I could be.
I am deeply indebted to all those developers and the more knowledgeable on here, who turn my phone into something very special. The least I can do is search before I ask, because nearly every question has already been asked.
i know what to do

The BOKE3 was the origonal firmware for the T-Mobile UK SGSII.
BOKF3, BOKG2 and BOKK1 are revised firmwares.
The stock kernels are there if you have rooted your phone with a CF-Root kernel and then reflash with the stock kernel to get rid of the warning triangle at bootup.
The one you are looking for is not a T-Mobile UK ROM, but rather a Samsung Stock ROM for Europe. Flashing that would invalidate the phone's warranty (if you had to take it back to service). That said, that ROM is really old. For newer versions of Samsung stock ROM then look * HERE *
you are good

Hello everyone
I have bought a SGS2 GT-i9100 and i was searching for 4.1.2 frimware for my devie. My PDA It's XXPLQ and i searched it by Samfrimware and didn't found it. My question is: There's 4.1.2 for my device? Or dosen't matter if it it's XXLJS or another version.
I don't know if this is necesary but i'm from Venezuela.
Try to search here. Link

Why would you link someone who has clearly stated they have an I9100 to I9100G firmware ? You do realise a lot of people who ask for help here take whatever help you give them rather literally & tend to blindly do what they're told without thinking ?
I hope for your sake this guy doesn't download one of the firmwares you linked to & flash it, you owe him a new phone if he does.
Edit - OP, you're very confused. There was only one 4.1.2 I9100 stock firmware released for Venezuela, which is available on Samfirmware - VNO - I9100UHMS8. There is no 4.1.2 firmware XXLPQ. You can use any stock firmware from any carrier, it doesn't make any difference. However, you seem to be completely lacking in 'the basics'. If you attempt to flash anything with your current lack of knowledge, you're asking for a busted phone. Read the guides/tutorials stickied near the top of the General section before you do anything.

You don't need to be rude here. Everyone does mistakes. And yeah i didn't notice about I9100, and i already edited the link that i provided before.
Hello, this is my first time posting on here.
I have an old Galaxy S3, USA version, T-mobile, SGH-T999. I was wondering how to update it to make it usable? From what I've read online the best way is to root and put in a custom ROM. The problem I'm having is finding the latest ROMs. Is there any way to find the latest official ROMs for the phone? And if I download an unofficial one, how can I know which will run well on my phone? Do I just simply get the latest unofficial ROM?
Lastly, if any one has any step by step guide or video on how to root and install ROMs it would be much appreciated as I've never done something like this before. Sorry if this has been posted before, I'm new to this site and have been having trouble navigating and searching old posts.
Thank you.

I suspect the reason that you haven't gotten any responses in the last day or so is that you are on the wrong part of the Forum! This is the area for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7" Tablet, not the Galaxy S3 Smartphone.
You might want to take a look over here for the T-Mobile S3.
Hope that helps clear things up
