Upgrading CM9.1 on my i9100 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Its time to upgrade Android 4.0.4 to a newer version.
Whats-app isn't working anymore and some other apps.
I would like to run it smoothly with all functions working correctly, especially GPS. So the latest android isn't needed i think.
I am thinking of CM12.1 (5.1) to start with. I know i have to resize my system partition and flash a compatible recovery.
But i can't find a step by step guide as this is a pretty old version. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
thanks

As far as I remember, you don't have to repartition until Android 6.
Also, Android 5 ROMs are quite outdated, and might contain several security vulnerabilities. I would recommend going for LineageOS 11 ROM (Android 4.4.4) by grzwolf here on XDA. It contains latest Android Security Patches. Here's a KitKat compatible recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79196916&postcount=230

Thanks for your advice. I should get this working.
However I see Gapps from 2016 have to be used. Will GMaps and the Play store update themselves to a new version after installation or will i get stuck with the old ones?

It seems like you need to flash ROM, boot into it, then reboot to recovery and flash latest OpenGApps, reboot again and then you should be able to sign in to the play store:

DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible to anything going wrong with your device.
You are responsible to what you are doing with your phone, not me.
If you blame me, I will laugh in your face and I'll go grab a beer.
This guide is intended to be used for people who want to upgrade their Android experience. This process could be dangerous. Please follow instructions, and if in doubt, stop, and ask here. No one wants their phone bricked*.
"For quite a while you are using your LG G2 mini. You like the simplicity of Android 4.4/5.0.2 and you think LG did a good job on the UI. You live you life happily with the phone. But after a while you feel something is missing. you want more.
You googled "How to make my device awesome again" and you saw difficult terms, such as root, flashing, recovery and bootloader. You didn't know what they meant, but you knew you have to understand these terms and apply them to make your phone awesome again."
The steps to make your phone awesome again are fairly simple:
perform these steps in order from top to bottom. Do not skip any.
--Rooting--
"Yes... I remember seeing this term.. I vaguely remember something related to permissions.. but I am not totally sure what this means."
Root - The root directory of your phone. The home directory for all your important system files.
Rooting - Normally, you don't have access to this directory, since the manufacturer doesn't want you to mess with it. Rooting means you will give yourself access to this directory. Why do you want access to this directory? Because later on we will need access to it to change some files.​
Most common question asked is: will this void my warranty? YES
How to Gain Root Access
Android 4.4
There are a few methods to try. If one fails, you will continue until you succeed.
Method 1
1. Go to this link
2. Click on the big lambda in the middle of the page ( ? )
3. Install the app on your phone
4. Run the app and tap on "make it rain"
5. Your phone will reboot
6. Download SuperSU from here. This app is a root access management tool, and it allows you to give certain apps root permissions.
7. The app might ask you to "update binaries". If so, let it update.
Optional: Install this app to make sure you have root access.
Method 2
Go to this link and follow the instructions.
Android 5.0.1
There is only one method for rooting on this version.
Method 1
1. Go to this link and follow the instructions
--Unlock Bootloader--
"Bootloader.... is that a machine that loads boots?"
Bootloader - Code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. A bootloader is usually locked on an Android device because although it’s an open source OS, still the manufacturers want you to stick to their Android OS version specifically designed for the device. In order to apply this concept, manufacturers lock the bootloader. With a locked bootloader on Android devices, it is virtually impossible to flash a Custom ROM.​
Most common question asked is: why do I need to unlock my bootloader? Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install custom Firmware on your Android phone.
How to Unlock the Bootloader
It is advised to be on Android 5.0.2 to unlock bootloader.
Android 4.4
There Is only one specific guide for the d620 / d620r models.

1. Go to this link and follow instructions.
Android 5.0.2
There is a guide for all varients.

1. Go to this link and follow the instructions
--Custom recovery--
"After reading so much I think I need to be recovered myself!"
Recovery - Software that can be used to restore the device to factory default settings, update its operating system, and perform other diagnostic tasks. A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. A custom recovery environment will do the same things as the stock Android recovery. However, it will also have additional features. Custom recoveries often have the ability to create and restore device backups.
TWRP - Team Work Recovery Project is the most common custom recovery out there. It is highly advised to use it, since other recoveries made for this device are old and unstable.​
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom recovery? Custom recoveries allow you to install custom software such as ROMs and kernels.
How to Flash a Custom Recovery
1. If you already have a custom recovery, enter it and flash the new recovery zip.
2. If not, download and install THIS app and flash though it the recovery zip. Then you'll be able to enter the custom recovery.
All Android Versions
There are several versions of TWRP. It is recommended to use the latest version, though using an older version won't hurt.
1. Go to HERE for Twrp 3.0.2.0
2. Go to HERE for TWRP 2.8.7.0
--Custom Rom--
"That was it? It was so easy!"
Rom - stands for “read-only memory.” A custom ROM replaces your device’s Android operating system — normally stored in read-only memory — with a new version of the Android operating system. Custom roms usually have added features not available in stock Android. ​
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom ROM? Read THIS article.
I'm sorry for any left out roms. A lot are old and not updated or contain bugs. An updated list of them can be found at all time in the "Android Development" section.
How to Flash a Custom Rom
1. Download a custom rom to your sd-card.
2. Enter twrp recovery.
3. Make a backup of system, data, boot and cache.
4. Flash the custom rom.
5. Optional: flash Gapps.
6. Reboot to system.

--Custom Kernel--
"I'm going deeper... so deep, I'm almost at the kernel!"
Kernel - The kernel is the piece of software that bridges the gap between the operating system (and installed apps) and the hardware in the device. Everything you do on your device involves the kernel. Increasing the volume while playing a video? Android doesn’t directly tell the speakers to increase output. Instead, it tells the kernel that it wants to increase the volume, and the kernel talks to the speaker to increase its output.​
Most common question asked is: why would I want to use a custom KERNEL? Read THIS article.
How to Flash a Custom Kernel
1. Download a custom kernel to your sd-card.
2. Enter twrp recovery.
3. Make a backup of BOOT
4. Flash the custom kernel

Please do not quote the whole post.
The LG G2 mini Tegra edition is very different from the other varients. It has a different board and uses other components. Unfortunately, to this day there is no way of unlocking it's bootloader, but even if it could be unlocked, there is no rom development for it. I don't know about rooting it, but from my knowledge, there wasn't ever a serious discussion about rooting it. The main reason is this phone is mostly seen in Latin America, while the rest of the world uses the "normal" version of the phone.

Hi,
I have a LG G2 Mini D620 which is still on KitKat 4.4.2. It never got an OTA update to Lollipop.
It has:
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c8-00012-M8926DAAAANAZM-1
Build Number: KOT49I.A1404447153
Software version: V10g-EUR-XX
It is rooted.
What I would like to do is upgrade it to at least lollipop. Stock lollipop is fine (custom rom is not a must).
Can you point me in the right direction as to what would be the best way to achieve this?
Regards.
You can find the version you want http://lg-phone-firmware.com/mobile/ and flash it to your phone

I tried different recoveries with different softwares but I always got the same problem.
I solved downgrading to kitkat and following the 4.4 method. I guess something was not working in the rooting procedure..
Hi guys, I have an D620k which is on KitKat. I want to update to Lollipop trough KDZ.
Do I need to download the 620k version? Or I can flash anyone that is for 620?

Some Questions

1) How can a custom ROM like RR be as good as the official ROM? - I mean RR works on all devices and they do not even manage to have the same official MIUI version on all phones. All the developer versions are the same version but have different MB sizes for every phone. That needs to have a reason...
2) I want to chance my harware buttons to start an app. I did it before on my Redmi Note 3 (Kate) with xposed. Worked like a charm. I even had OTA support with TWRP.
Now I tried it with the Remdi Note 4. I am on developer v. 7.4.27 - which means I have Android 7 thus, no xposed framework. I want to go back to a Android 6 MIUI version. Which one should I use? As soon as I update I'm screwed..?
Well, in the end I am kind of lost between these options:
1) Install latest stable version and wait (for an uncertain time) 'till TWRP works fine and get xposed
2) Go back to an earlier stable version and install TWRP and xposed - and never update until xposed for Android 7 is out
3) Switch to an older developer version which has Android 6 and install xposed - and never update until xposed for Android 7 is out
4) Just screw MIUI and switch to another ROM. Which one? RR sounds cool.. can I change my hardware buttons to start an app there? Can the custom ROM be better then the offical ROM? ...and I think RR is oon Andoid 7 which means again - no xposed :crying:

You can install AOSP Extended it much better then STOCK and yes u can also set any app to be launched from hardware button on that
Hit thank button if i helped
Hey, yeah I know I can install cusom ROMS. But I wanted to get some background information
edit:
Also this answer is too general. Doesn't flashing AOSP Extended mean I need to flash all the updates? Thus I need to login in all apps again etc... I also read the thread and there are some bluetooth issues with the ROM. I do not want to "maintain" my phone all the time. I am coding at work all day. I have a **** ton of things to do, nevertheless I love playing around with my phone if I have time, I do not NEED to spend time with "maintaining" my phone.
I therefore like to have it as simple as possible. I love the OTA updates. I even like the look and feel of MIUI.
Just want to tweak my phone
For now I flashed the MIUI v. 8.2 and just took the MM (Android 6) based version.
TWRP is running, SU, xposed. But I do not know what happens when I will update over OTA the next time....

a7108 a5108 got the 7.1 update already
Hi my friends. Please do not install this update under any condition. It is necessary to patch this rom (7.1) for making it ready to enhance its modules for webview support. I mean after installing Gapps, the system would lose its webview impelement which is google webview by default. If you have flashed the rom, and no downgrade to 6 is possible due to bootloader sw.rev error, you can flash the (fixrom) 5 file rom 6.1 by odin and consider that only Flash the AP file . You will have a clean version of android with the error in (about)! The moment you want to find buildinfo to open the developer tool tree, you can search the word buildnumber in the search box in setting. Otherwise it is probably impossible. Goodluck

Booting stock ROM seems to work. However, flashing Gapps package 9.0 gives error saying the ROM is SDK23 (or Android 6.0).

You should flash a gapps suit for Android 10.0.

Thanks. I was not sure since OEM is still 9 and Gapps 10 was not yet available for download on official website. Tried from Cyanogen website Gapps 10 (full, pico) but 'Android Setup keeps stopping'. Tried from XDA BiTGApps, does not have Android Setup and works.
Will keep you posted here on how ROM behaves.

Delete it.
After installing ROM directly enter twrp and flash gapps ?
Seems to work
So I tested the rom for some time now.
It indeed restarts at some random moments just idling laying on the desk. Do not yet have an understanding why this is. However it is not that often that it is annoying.
Magisk works perfectly.
BitGApps does also work.
A lot of notifications saying app versions are not made for Android 10, try to update while having latest installed. Guess this is a Android 10 issue?
Netflix does not seem to work keeps giving connection error (9).
At startup the notification always pops up saying there is a problem with the android system.
Sometimes text in apps or launcher vanishes until restart.
Thanks for all the work!
Please make stable project treble for pie
Are there any near future plans for updates to make this ROM more stable? Or can I provide error logs to contribute?
The rebooting is getting worse and more annoying. I'm in doubt to get back to old ROM.
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I want to try this project but I'm not sure how to do this. I tried once but I failed. Can someone tell me what's wrong? Thanks. Here's what I tried (bootloader is already unlocked):
1. flash "41.3.A.2.247. Customization : Customized US" using flashtool.
2. fastboot flash oem vendor.img
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. fastboot flash system <GSI Image>
where <GSI Image> is downloaded from [here](https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...evice-development/lineage-phh-treble-t3767690) following [this](https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/) tutorial. The download link in [phh-Treble AOSP Thread](https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659) is dead.
5. Bootloop. Doesn't even get pass the sony logo.

If you have TWRP installed you can flash any number of GSIs I flashed CAOS V308. While I have a T510, the process would be much the same for you. Download the GSI of your choice, making sure that it has the right structure(Arm64, Arm, Arm32 etc) you will also need to know if your device is A only or A/B. Quickest way to do all that is just download 'Treble Check' from the play store and run it. It will tell you how your device supports treble. Then once you have your GSI downloaded, boot into TWRP. Wipe the system and with out rebooting, install your GSI img onto the System partition. Reboot and you should be running a custom ROM. It might have some issues as it is not specifically built for your device, but until there is development for the T500, GSIs are the only game in town.
