Brought up a post i posted at Page 73 .. Gonna understand and study about Rooting before i proceed on doing it as it is my first time ..
Currently using I9100G ..
This is the steps i currently understand ..
1) Backup IMEI with the link posted on Page 1
2) Download Odin , cf-root , 'desire' kernel and 'desire' ROM , Stock kernel and Stock ROM
3) Backup my Apps with Titanium Backup and Nandroid
4) Root kernel using the way from this link -
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=20688245) Installing Lite'ning Rom v6.1 with Odin -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274Some question im not clear ..
a) Is the steps correct ??
b)What is the difference between the Official i9100 Firmware i saw here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 , and SiyahKernel v2.0 ??
c) am i able to backup my stock kernel and stock ROM , or i have to find and download it manually ??
P/S : It is my first smartphone ..
Your using the G version.
1) You need root first to backup imei
2) CF root cannot be used for G version it will soft brick your device
3) Titanium need root
4) You may follow the guide in that thread to root G version
5) Lite'ning is not compatible with G version. It will soft brick your device. In fact there is no custom rom for G version but i think there are in some chinese forum somewhere.
a) Refer above
b) i9100 firmware is NOT compatible with G version and neither is siyah
c) You cannot backup without cwm. But the stock rom and kernel is available in xda. I think the link is in the first page.
