Hi to all,
I installed custom rom on my Vibrant sgh-t959 but now i want the stock rom that was on the phone. Can someone give me link to the stock rom?
Thanks
.... really? go back out of this thread and scroll to the top of the forum. First Post the one Stickied at the top.(it's in BOLD) As rude as this sounds you really need to read stickies as they are stickied for a reason.
Depends if you got the phone with 2.1 or 2.2....
- If it was 2.1 then ODIN using any guide
- If it was 2.2 then there is an "Official" stock build out there in "Development" by whitehawx, its not in the "Bible" so ur gonna have to search for it.
Good luck!

did they actually make these things out of the box with 2.2? i thought it was just an official OTA update?

Hi,
I have a Galasxy S 2 and wat to root it. It is running on Android 2.3.4 gingerbread.XWKI4. What is the easiest and simplest way to root my phone so I can get rid of all the add's?
I am a noob in this field so I hope one of you can help me out with a clear instruction. Thanx for your time and effort!
Cheerz,
Daemyon
Welcome, but don't forget that "search" is your friend...
Start here, then read and search some more. Don't rush.
Remove "add's" - do you mead advertisements on apps, or additions/bloatware (apps you don't need/want)?
Find the KI4 kernel in this thread & use it to root your phone. Read the first post in that thread carefully, follow the instructions to the letter & you shouldn't have any problems, assuming you have either an I9100 or a I9100T (check the sticker under the battery to make sure before you do anything).
P.S - For future reference, questions belong in the Q&A section of the board

I will check the thread and see if it gets me anywhere. I read somewhere there is also a possibility to do it on one click. you download something on your phone, run the programm through a restart in download mode and then it is rooted. Is that possible as well? I have a I9100. I will put my threads in the proper forum next time. Thanx!
If you mean SuperOneClick, yes, that is an alternative way to root your phone other than Odin/CFRoot. I've never used it so I have no idea how it works, do a search on here & find the thread devoted to it.

difference between android development and original development is simple. android development is roms basically with a slap on theme on it and original is well original.
read this thread here for better explanation between the two
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175660
as regarding unlocking bootloaders you do not have to as it is already unlocked..all you have to do is flash a cf-root kernel from chainfires thread.
here are links to help you better

Please reply quickly as i really want to install this rom QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE ASAP
Find the CM10 thread in Development, download the rom & put it on your internal/external SD card (or use the Odin version if there is one if you prefer). Either way, follow the install instructions on the first page of the thread to the letter. Done.
No need for anyone to give you numpty instructions here when they're already in that thread.

Seriously, no offence but the info you're looking for is pretty easy to find. Just use the search button and read the threads/stickies. If you don't know what you're doing, reconsidder if you're really are going to flash a custom rom.

These people should read, read and read more, for at least 3 days before even attempting to flash a rom. Would prevent a lot of Bricked phone topics :/
