rooted d, now planning to flash a custom rom tonight, for the first time---

if i install it, does it matter on what version gingerbread im on? or doesnt matter and can just straight away flash customsROM with CWM? (i'm on 2.3.3 and KF1 BTW)

2/ currently gingerbread 2.3.5 cannot be rooted yet right?

much appreciated.

Manually wipe your phone in cwm before flashing a rom and you should have no problem. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache in CWM.

All i9100 2.3.5 gingerbread can be rooted. Dunno where you get that info from.

normal sgs2. Previously using checkrom with speedmod.

But in SD i have delete the zip for the rom. Just delete this evening. thought can access the sd wihout full on.

Bro, got the tar for any rom? searh all are giving zip . thanks man   notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Checkrom got no tar. As advice try clearing cache and dalvik cache. Which theme were you flashing.

Edit: Flash siyah kernel from CWM/odin. It have CWM 5 whcich can access your external sd.

Guys, I have the 9100G version and I want to install CWM. Can I just download it from the market?
*
No you cannot just download from market. CWM is implemented into the kernel. Look in the first page for rooting methods for G models. Read carefully as flashing the wrong kernel will soft brick your device.

yea wanted to root it , but the method to root a sgs2"G" now is requiring to flash it . Not fancying to wipe out things now . Probably wait for ice cream sandwich roots to be out and then do it then.

Rooting does not wipe your device.

Ok. Done flashing siyah 1.8. After for a while it shits the device itself.

But how can i access the sd card within CWM? cause i need to put the zip into the sd card using cable
*
Wrong version. Siyah 2.1 beta. Get from here www.gokhanmoral.com

Then enter CWM by pressing volume up + power + home

Edit: You got cable then just put the zip in the internal sd. Get into CWM and mount the sd. Plug in usb and your internal sd will be shown in your PC.

Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik cache?

You want me to download me which beta? or does not matter?

But how can i put the zip into the internal sd at the first place?  hmm.gif  I dont have a card reader to put into the sd card.  sad.gif

Or you are saying that i can access the internal SD by "Get into CWM and mount the sd. Plug in usb and your internal sd will be shown in your PC."
*
Yes you can access the internal sd via usb cable in CWM 4 from PC. Whichever beta also got CWM 5.

What do you think when wrong?

The scenario is
1. Download a theme using the kitchen pro (what i remember i install the orange theme forgot the name)
2. Install it
3. stuck at boot animation

By the way, thanks mate.  nod.gif  notworthy.gif

Did you try clearing dalvik cache? That and also maybe the zip was corrupted.

I've already rooted it but the kernel doesn't come with CWM.
I saw a method to install CWM but it will definitely brick my phone and I want to try and avoid that in case I can't unbrick it.

That method is very risky. Which root did you use? Did you try the insecure kernel?

No. None of the normal i9100 kernel will work on G version.

Hmm. It seems those kernels got no CWM. Hint, PM chainfire with a link to your original kernel to see if he can cook up a CF kernel for your G version.

Otherwise Samsung cannot launch SGS3 lor as everybody got ICS on their SGSII..:-P

Well we really woul not know. Maybe we will have Android 4.0 in January and SGS 3 will have something like 4.1 or 4.2 or however they want to number it.

Nahh., Samsung always release new firmware version on a new product first. After that only they release the upgrade to their older phones. I remember waiting like hell to get Froyo on SGS (that time still on Eclair). All the sudden Tab 7 release with the new shinning Froyo on it. Months later then SGS get Froyo upgrade :-(
Same cycle happen. All Samsung product sitting on Froyo (except Tab 10.1 on Honeycomb) then Samsung release new product SGSII with Gingerbread. Months later then other phones receive Gingerbread upgrade.
Gonna be the same shit again. SGS3 release with ICS on it then only other phones such as SGSII and Note etc will receive ICS.
~~just my two cents of course~~
*
blink.gif So when is SGS3 due to release? Anyway we still got xda to get our ICS early. Hopefully...

Seriously have you installed betterbatterystats. These high drains can be solved once we pinpoint the source (which i guess is the facebook app).

1.8 GHz dual core

Just hope they have a thin super battery to support that spec.

Actually they got improve. 2 years age cpu are 500mhz with 2.8" screen. Now we have 4.3" screen and 1.2ghz dual core. Battery life still the same. My HD2 1250 battery is about the same size as the SGS2 1650.
