Lots of links and how-tos:

Just read everything. All the models are about the same so there's not much difference in directions. Some threads will detail one step, and another some other step. And of course, pay attention to the specific readme for the rom you decide upon.

If you want to be sure someone particular gets notified of your question, put his / her username directly after an @.

Welcome all XDA members to the New Members Friendly Q&A Thread!
The Samsung Galaxy SII forum is very popular and we often find threads / posts created with repeated questions that have previously been answered.
That, apart of being against the rules (since the first rule of XDA is search before posting) contribute to flame wars, angry users, etc.
The intention of this thread is to offer an area where new XDA members and old members alike, can ask their questions without fear of ridicule or abuse.
There is no such thing as a "stupid" question here... all questions are valid.
You will also find here, links to some guides dedicated to the new users of XDA or the SGSII phone forums.
If you need more information, there is also a section called "Indexes" where you will find links to detailed lists of ROM's, Kernels and Tutorials for your SGSII.
All experienced users are invited to answer questions, give advice and help others in this thread.
Originally, this thread was created and maintained by some experienced users who were also Recognized Contributors on XDA (RC's).
Now, talking about Recognized Contributors (RC's), what are they? :
See the Announcement of the Recognized Contributor's and their Code of Conduct on the XDA portal.
⊗ Thread Rules ⊗
1.- Please don't ask what is the best ROM, Kernel or Theme, as you can see on the thread DO NOT POST A "What's the best ROM/Kernel/Theme?" THREAD!
.....That's against the rules. Bear in mind that every user is different and everyone uses their phone in a different way so you need to try things for yourself.
2.- No swearing in this thread.
3.- This thread is mainly for new members on XDA and / or on the SGSII forum so, no flaming please - that's also a rule of XDA.

7.- I will be asking Forum Moderator's to remove some posts from time to time to keep the thread as clean as possible.

Recognized Contributors are nominated by other users and/or Mods/Developers. They are recognised for their contributions which are not specifically Development, such as detailed guides, one-click utilities and other tools/mods.
Recognized Themers are also nominated by users/Mods/Developers, for their work themeing custom ROMs and providing standalone themes for flashing.
Recognized Developers are nominated and approved by the Developer Committee, for their work in Development whether it be ROMs, Root methods, bootloader unlocks etc.
Elite Recognized Developers are again assessed by the Developer Committee, and are deemed to have gone above-and-beyond in providing knowledge/hacks/tools/apps/ROMs for the XDA community.
Forum Moderators are appointed by the Moderator Committee, after submitting an application, they are the first-line of keeping the forums tidy, friendly and orderly.
Senior Moderators are the next step up the ladder, providing site-wide support for Forum Mods and looking after the nitty-gritty issues, as well as areas of XDA not policed by FSMs, such as the Marketplace.
Administrators are next. There are several Admins - each look after a specific part of XDA such as the Portal, the Members and the User Experience of XDA as a whole.
At the top is Mike Channon, who is overall Forum Administrator.
Other titles you may come across:
Moderator Committee - sits on the Mod Committee
Developer Committee - as above, but for Developer Committee
RC - RT Committee - as above, but for Contributor and Themer Committee
XDA Newswriter - publishes articles for the Portal (front page)
Retired xxxx - have since officially 'left' their XDA position
Contrary to what a lot of people expect, the thanks-meter does not figure at all in determining a users tag.

Ok my question:
My baseband-version of my ICS-version is i19100BULP6
So my number is LP6
What does this mean?
Since almost all themes don't support LP6.
So my questions:
1. Why don't they support this version?
2. Are they ever going to support it?
3. If I flash a custom ROM will I be able to use the ICS Domination theme then?
Thanks

It means your modem is LP6

Baseband is NOT the firmware so you are looking at the wrong code for custom roms .

There is no need to get defencive about your question, not everyone on this forum will snap at you for asking a question, if members do just ignore them. I would say that your best bet is wait for the samsung Galaxy s III, also is your phone rooted have you tried diffrent roms and kernels, to improve the battery life of your Galaxy S II and you would be able to tinker with you cpu.
Help Needed for a complete NOOB
Hi all, new member as i just got a samsung galaxy S2!
Ok, so i have bought a sgs2 of a friend at work. He was messing with it(trying to root it, he thinks) and did something wrong and messed it up, so i bought it of him for very cheap to have a go at fixing it. Things that are wrong with it - when you turn the phone on it just comes up with samsung Galaxy S2 gt-19100 with a yellow triangle under it, it wont go any further. I can get into the download menu, but i cant get into the menu to do a factory reset. Another thing is it will not charge, when i plug it in to the mains or a pc it just comes up with a battery and a little circle inside it, but dosnt move and dosnt charge! O and yet another thing i dont now what firmware was on it before, but i no it was O2 if thats any help. If i have left anything out that you need to no, ill be hear all night trying to get this thing going! Is it even possible for this to be fixed as i had a good look threw this website and the internet and cant find anything about this. I can post pics if needed!
Thanks
Ps. i hope i have put this in the right place, If not please feel free to move or remove.

Ok so the yellow triangle means he tried to flash an inscure kernel, which is fine but you seem to have got into boot loop. When you connect the phone to the computer does the computer recognise the phone. If it does then you can flash a stock firmware from here all the instructions you need are on that website.

Settings --> About phone --> Build number. I suspect yours is LPC rather than LP6, but that's just a guess.

2). I can't answer this question definitively because I don't yet know your build number yet, but themes and mods tend to be released for popular ROMs, you can always change.
3). You can see in the relevant thread which ROMs are supported http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334922 which at the time of writing appears to be LP3, LPS, LP4, LP7, LP8, LP9.

So my next question is about wipes
You have different kind of wipes and I can't find anywhere what they mean..
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe dalvik cache
3. full wipe
4. wipe cache partition
5. when they say "wipe your date" what does that mean?
I would like to know what it removes and so if it deletes all my settings, files, or just cache.

1. Will wipe all of you apps, data, settings, e.t.c
2. That is to do with your apps and will do nothing to your phone that you will see, it is recomended that you wipe this when flashing rom or gapps as a make sure.
3. Same a the first
4. This will wipe a number of files, but nothing that you will see.
5. When they say wipe your data they mean 1 and 4, sometimes 2 if you are flashing Gapps

You may receive personal suggestions from the members based on their experience on the different ROM, but XDA moderaters dont like this question since there are lot of hardworks being made by the Developers during cooking of their ROM, all have got their own features, you have to test them untill you find a best for you....

Thanks for the kind assistance provided:good:

I can write 10 times HELP ME, then help ?
Thank you so much ! The forums in Russia is not so accepted!
What are the 10 posts you provide? What kind of information ? Where is the location of missile units in Russia ? ? ?
Why do you have such idiotic demands?

Dear coolsandie, as I have not received any help from you , and not honored any attention , I ask you to delete my account . On your forum I do not see any reason to stay .

Okay, if I understand right I guess if you are looking for a dedicated forum for your device (Bliss S5) then you can request that here: *** New Device Forum Requests ***. Sorry I'm not sure what you are looking for, thus giving these links to help you with your query asked in the first post even though its vague. You can either take them, or not, no issues. Sorry, can't delete your account because I'm just a member just like you and members can't delete another member's account, lol. Good Luck!
