Did you turn on Data to use aGPS. It will lock faster within seconds.

Which means to lock aGPS faster , data need to be on ? Otherwise , it will be taking hours ?? I haven try using Data to use aGPS ..

You will need ClockworkMod (CWM) to be able to perform a Nandroid backup. To gain CWM, you need to root it. Please correct me if I am wrong.  biggrin.gif

Which means i have to root in and set to Superuser before i do Nandroid backup ??

you're supposed to download the driver from the first page and install that first. Windows is unable to automatically install your S2 driver for you.
*
Steps i have done ..

1) I have downloaded (SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones)
2) Uninstall the Samsung driver that is located in Control Panel
3) Restart
4) Run the installer that i have downloaded
5) Turn on Samsung Kies


is the steps correct ??

wow..you're gonna need a program like CCleaner or Perfect Uninstaller to uninstall the driver and ensure that it was correctly uninstalled and then reboot and try again. at least from my experience, unless someone else here knows a better solution.
*
Done with CCleaner and problem still occur .. Is there any other possible way ? Or Im left with upgrading Android 2.3.5 using Odin ?? Didnt wanna root it so fast yet .. LOL .. Still running Stock ROM and original kernel .. xD


Apart from that .. I got a question regarding rooting and changing ROM ..

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=2068824
5) Installing Lite'ning Rom v6.1 with Odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274


Some 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.
*
Understood .. Which means the only thing i can do is :
1) Root kernel using the way from this link - http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2068824
2) Backup IMEi
3) Backup Apps with Titanium
4) And wait for available G version ROM or dig it somewhere from chinese forum ..

Good luck in searching for rom but just be careful of what your flashing especially if it is not from a reputable forum/source. White ori sgs2 are all G version. New ori stocks in malaysia are also G version now.

Yea .. Bought my phone quite late , Mid September .. Haha ..
Coz both of my friend is first time smartphone user as well .. 3 of us are learning together .. Haha

That question should be asked in xda-dev forum. The main reason why G version still dont have any custom roms is developers need the phone to actually develop one. If somebody can donate a phone to one of the developers then i'm sure atleast one custom rom can be built. As for now, be thankfull you still can root the phone.
*
Yea .. I get what you mean .. Hope some of the xda-dev are able to custom ROM for G-version .. Hehe .. Someday somehow .. But rooting now doesnt help much though .. Only good for backup and tegra 2 .. Apart from that , i dun see any reason on rooting it now .. =/
