been doing a lot of reading in rooting and such, and i feel its all really overwhelming. i cant seem to understand it.

im now on 2.3.6 dzkl3. i read the 1st post on about rooting for G model, and i also did some reading on custom rom like superatmos 2.1.

i was going to do the superatmos 2.1, so i downloaded the file, and the odin, and the stock dzkl3.

when attempting to root my phone, it ask to input the .tar file, the file i got was Zimage.i try googling the way to get the .tar file, and the instructions and methods was just too much for me to absorb. im beginning to really regret getting the S2. the phone is awful in this stock mode, the battery is just bad, crashing, hangs, camera issues.

is there any good simple guide for noobs like me?

no pirtaed apps. just angry birds, and some other games. and thats it. isolated case? relly? i read online seems like so many ppl have battery issues, crashes and also camera bug issue.

so i thought to get my phone rooted with custom rom and this too seems so tedious.

but i read tourgh his comments replies, he always shoots ppl down for not reading his post or going thorught the undreds of pages in there. i read his guide and still cant make sense of anything. im sur eif post there he is going to reply by saying "why doesnt anybody read the post or comments here"...haihs.

how to change the Zimage file to .tar?

hmmm i donwloaded from the wrong side i think. cause i used this this guys link @ mahadirlab to donwload

im not supose to extract the file is it? the file in winrar form, superatmos_v2.1.tar(winrar), im not suupose to extract this? haihs

i would really like to thank you laptopdude, i think wa so carried away with this root thin being complicated, seems like i complicated things my self.

thanks bro. i just rooted my phone with superatmos 2.1, and flashed back the 2.3.6 firmware to remove the yellow triangle.

now i also have a superuser icon.

v1.0:

Download rom from the link below.
Extract the zip. You will find a folder.
Copy the folder to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
Go to CWM recovery
Go to backup/restore option
Select SuperROM_v1.0_I9100G


do i need an external SD card to have SuperRom?

Now that im on superatmos 2.1, if i would like to try out superROM 2.0.

Do i need to download and install V1.0 first?
Or can straight go to V2.0?

Then next, i need to download CWM(clock work mod) by :
-instaling ROM manager from Market,tap ‘Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.

-then, Copy the file to the root of sdcard (internal). Don’t uncompress the file as usually it will be in zip form (superROM 2.0).

-Boot into the CWM recovery

-Choose zip from sdcard and select the file.

is this the correct process guys?

just wanna say thanks to the guys here in LYN and this thread.

i have succesfully rooted my phone, and the phone performs so much better. battery life is good, and for some reason, the screen, when i move left and right, it switches so much nice or smoother.

overall, im just glad i followed this thread. i now know rooting is a MUST. hehe .next maybe ill try superROM V2. looks nice.

owhhh...yeah i used superatmos 2.1.

thanks for the calrification bro laptopdude. still getting used to the terms.

you guys strongly suggest i get the superROM 2.0?(this is known as a custom kernel right?)

will the phone perform much better than it currently is? thunderbolt scripts? no idea what this is but sounds cool

the the superROM should have been a clear give away that it was a ROM.

ill google up and do more research on kernels and scripts.

is superROM also those one of the MUST have on an S2.?

do you guys get random shutdowns on your S2? its happened twice when i was unrooted and stock rom. once today after rooting.

thanks for explanation bro..that pretty much clears it up for me

well i might just go with supeROM la..cause i saw the screenshots.looks yummy. hehe gives the phone some life.

but im a affraid of the custom scirpt, after laptopdude saying " IF YOU DARE" hehe

the randowm switch off issue, seems like many ppl having this prob too, normally when its in their the pockets, it might be the battery connection. im going to inspect the phone tonight when i meet my GF.

heheh...next in line will be superROMv2 after that we see how laa.. inside the dark side i am

thanks bro for the re-assurance.

what are the gains for the thunderbolts script

well EXTRA is always good right ... hahahah

Its in my to do list now.

so uncle google here i come.

do you guys disable the fast dormancy ? a lot of ppl say it helps with battery life and data connection problems?

if yes do you do it via *#9900# which will automatically be re-enabled when phone restarted

ive read somewhere for rooted phones it cna be switched off permanently?

ohhh cool. yours is rooted? maybe thats what they meant, for rooted phones, if we disable it, when we restart it wont automatically switch back on.

so most of you guys disable this right? any drawbacks or cons?
