QUOTE(I9100G @ Oct 15 2011, 04:09 PM) 1. Yes, wifi will not work after rooting with ZCKH4 kernel... for a while. That's why you'll need to re flash the original DZKI1 kernel afterwords... at the end, your I9100G is rooted and the wifi works hi just wan to ask ...after we root..how do we change the rom for the model? is it just like software install to the phone?2. I don't know... I've never used SuperOnClick 3. I don't think there should be any performance change... Rooting only enable you to do forbidden stuff such as uninstalling bloatware and using advance android apps 4. Yup! 5. After root, your firmware is original... just rooted. So far, there aren't much custom rom for this model... I think, there's none! But if they continue shipping this model, probably more people are gonna create custom rom for it. As long they create a new rom for I9100G, we can always upgrade 6. None... Like I say, rooting only enable you to do "forbidden stuff". No performance change 7. Up to you... do you need to use root privleges? If you're not sure, probably you dont. 8. Nope, once upgrade to new version, need to root back... if you need root access lah Okkeh, apa xpaham, boleh tanya |

The first flashing instruction was how you actually change your rom.Unfortunately, custom rom doesn't exist for this model yet, as far as I know lah... |

The only thing is when you flashing insecure kernel just for rooting only, it didn't fall under changing rom category. Changing rom is when you flash/update the whole firmware exp from KH1 to KH3.~~just saying~~ :-) |
