Hey All.
I rooted my phone previously using method one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 and installed clockwork mod using this: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...ckworkmod-recovery-on-rooted-galaxy-s2-i9100/
My phone's carrier is Optus and I am currently running Android 4.0.4 with baseband version I9I00XXLQ6 and build number IMM76D.XWLPW
I'm wanting to update my firmware to Android 4.1 .. can anyone point me in the right direction of some instructions which will enable me to do this with my current phone versions?
Thanks
I have recently flashed Jellybam onto my S2... (4.1.2)
Other than I cant find google talk on the latest version, its works perfectly.
The instructions are pretty clear once you have your phone rooted with Clockworkmod. It only takes a small number of steps and a couple of minutes.
This is the thread for the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903162
and it points you to this site
http://www.igio90.net/device/samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100/
I'm no expert (not by a long way!) but shout if you have any questions and if I can help you out, I will!
cheers,
Paul.

Just download the rom you want from dev section, place on sdcard and flash via CWM same as you would any other rom.

So last night I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 and I’ve got a few questions regarding various things that I havn’t been able to find through searching around on the forums. If the answers are around the forums and I have missed them I apologize and hopefully you can direct me there.
1. Since I used chainfires rooting method. I’ve used Nitrality’s app to ‘backup’ my /efs and something else it backup up. Here I’m wondering if I use a custom rom such as “Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3” will the things I backed up with Nitrality app restore my original ROM and Kernel incase something hardware wise fails and I need to send it back in to claim on my warranty.
2. The second question im asking is regarding various Custom roms, if I choose to flash ;Lite’ning rom, will I be able to since it states it’s;
based on I9100XXKH3 firmware
baseband I9100XXKH3
The baseband I’m using is XWKE7, will I be able to use this rom?
3. since the version of android I have is 2.3.3 and majority of the Roms need 2.3.4 will it work correctly? If not and I have to legitly update to 2.3.4 will it successfully update since i've rooted my phone?
Hopefully you guys can help answer my questions. Thanks.
bump because I really need help :[
- Litening ROM is based on KH3 ROM, that doesn't mean you need to have a Stock KH3 ROM. So yes, you can install it.
- As I said it doesn't matter what ROM you currently have to flash a 2.3.4 ROM.
- Don't know about the Back up issue, sorry.

Hi all,
it can be a very N00B question but this thread is a mess and I can not find things I really need.
I succesfully rooted and completely modified both HTC G1 and the new Galaxy Nexus, but now, a friend of mine has this LG P500 and im looking around trying to find all the necessary to root - recovery etc ..
now..
I will use SuperOneClick because it is a 2.3.3 Android FW.
I will Flash AmonRa recovery 3.06 found in a P500 Android development Thread, as flashable zip.
Im gonna use .35 kernel from Franco, 'cos Im using it on my GN and it works like a charm.
But, I cannot find a good rom!! is there anybody who can help me?
This phone now is:
kernel 2.6.35.10
android version 2.3.3
the only things I know
Thank u all!
you can use the kang version by adam. It is CyanogenMod 7.2.
http://www.mediafire.com/?p0di9g79ck80a0c
For the recovery, i will suggest you use ClockWorkMod. Download it from the market. The latest version is 5.0.0.6 and please be ensured to flash the 5.0.2.0 recovery version as the latest version is buggy.
I'm downloading it!! thank you
do you know if there is any new Radio ? I can't tell you which baseband this phone is using now btw, she cant find the "version" from "about phone"

If you before had stock gingerbread then you had the new baseband version. If not, you need to flash the new baseband as all new roms are now based on new baseband.
Follow this link for flashing new radio.

cool!! thank u Im ready to go now!
i am new to this device but i am not new to xda. i just picked up this device recently and im coming from the huawei ideos x6 forum. i am very familiar with odin and know how to use it. i was reading on the root thread and found that i have to go back to jfd 2.1 with odin. in the root guide i downloaded odin but the stock files i need to put into odin to flash are not there. can anybody be so kind to point me where i can find them? i am wanting to go to jelly bean which i have now on my other device and would like to use this device as my daily driver instead of my other. is there an easier way to get where i need to go? my goal is to have the latest cwm recovery and be running a jelly bean rom. any suggestions on how you guys think i should get to the point where i need to be? and my device is currently unlocked. thanks guys and all suggestions and opinions are greatly appriciated.
Oh i forgot my current software details are;
Model number: SGH-T959
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version:T959UVKA2
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: ECLAIR.UVKA2
Yes you should to go back to stock then you can flash JB, it takes two flashes to successfully flash JB (first flash upgrades cwm). As for the files to revert to stock with Odin, you can find them here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/605-guid...nja-apps-everything/page__p__11106#entry11106 (they are located 8th post down if the link doesn't directly take you there). Note, after flashing to stock you will need the update.zip B (from the root/odin sticky) on your internal sd card which will give you cwm on stock , then you can flash JB (remember to flash twice). You can also find the stock JFD files in the bible thread , go herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982728 and click ROMS, then click stock JFD at the bottom of the list. You may need to unlock your phone again after going to stock, if so go here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...lIDoBg&usg=AFQjCNGhnJw3ZNH4_1OmhoQ9kfkjeYaf5Q and download galaxy s unlock , to unlock your phone again.

Hey all, I'm trying to root and get LiquidSmooth on my brother's AT&T Note. I've rooted a few devices in the past and my own Note II is running on 4.4 Slimbean. Problem is all the guides I can find for rooting are assuming that the phone is on ICS or GB. Is there any way to root if the phone is already on JB?
I did find these two thread with links to the original firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657279
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657262
Would I just flash one of the above using Odin and then follow the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586223 ... or is there a more up to date guide somewhere out there?
Also, using an US AT&T Note is the Bell or Rogers firmware the equivalent version?
I've tried searching and couldn't easily find any information on this so any input is appreciated.
It does not matter what Android version as long as you are not installing a kernel to root. To root ANY version safely look here:

I've got this Galaxy S2 since a couple of years and back in 2012 I rooted it following the method in the video below
How to Root Galaxy S2! [NEW][i9100]
the device is on android 2.3.3 (GingerBread) and according to the guy who posted the youtube it is a super safe method and it is but now I decided I want to upgrade it with a customized ROM from your respectful GS2 section.
my questions are :
1- following the method above; is my device fully rooted and ready to be flashed and tweaked around?
2-if my device is ready to go;Would anyone kindly direct me to the page where I can find a guide/s on how to install the tools required on the device (gs2) to do the move from 2.3.3 -(because through my search here most what I found was going up from IcecreamSandwich +) -to the newest supported firmware ?
Thanks for the great work you guys doing to support android devices.

Should work fine. It would be an even safer to update to official jelly bean first before flashing a custom rom as you will face less issues this way.
