I feel like an idiot for asking this, so if it's been posted anywhere, please point me to it.
Do we have a rooted ROM available for 2.3.6? I noticed a significant battery life improvement with 2.3.6 over 2.3.5 before I rooted and could really use having that back again. I did some major digging but I can't find 2.3.6 specifically mentioned in any ROM downloads
Thanks!
+1 to this, but, the AT&T version it's out there, I was wondering, anyone knows if there's a 2.3.6 for Rogers ? Not a custom ROM, a Stock ROM.
is there a signed zip i can flash with 3e recovery ?
i cant use odin because the usb not work
so i have no chance to install CWM
but if i wanne flash the custom roms it say verification failed
By the lack of responses, I'm guessing nobody has rooted the update??

I feel helpless now, sorry ahead of time if someone instantly redirects me to a section of the website. I've been searching forums for almost 5 hours now and have gotten nowhere. I sent my phone in to get the brick fixed and had him root it at the same time... I'm running 2.3.4 kernel version 2.6.35.7 gb.eh17? So i'm assuming this is a stock rom? I have no cwm for my phone, i haven't been able to flash it or install it whatsoever, I get failed signature everytime. Now I understand that 2e as opposed to 3e (which I have) allows unsigned files to be installed, but I haven't been able to find a way to revert back to that.. There's kernels that I can download that come with cwm but those have root files in them too.. will this mess anything up? could I flash a kernel to my phone with the root files and in turn have cwm working? how do I know what kernels will work for my phone and firmware version specifically? I just want to do cool things to my phone now! I'm feeling i've wasted money to have it rooted since I can't do a damn thing with it right now.. SORRY for the long post, it's been 5 hours of running in circles and i'm quite frustrated. Any help at all is very much appreciated!!!
Lots of questions. First of all you can't flash anything in stock recovery not put out by Sprint or Samsung. Next you will need to use Odin to install CWM since no one click version works with GB. EH17 is a leaked ROM not official. Official version of GB is EI22. You can Odin in an EC05 ROM prerooted and then flash a EI22 prerooted ROM then if you want to change the modem flash the EC05toEI22 modem file. Here are some threads to help you:

This method you will lose all data so make sure your contacts are on Google and not the phone. Or export your contacts to the sd card.
thanks!! the links are broken but I believe I know where to go with this now, all I have to do is install a new rom/cwm via odin? which will just replace my stock "rom" I guess. I've been scared to even think about that considering that's how I bricked it the first time. Thanks for your time!
Which links are broken? If you are able to get into download mode it is never bricked.

Could some kind person possibly back up and upload their stock rooted Rogers ROM and the CIQ-free rogers kernel in a CWM flashable format? I'm having some issues with a custom ROM, and I don't actually own a Windows PC to use ODIN to flash back to the the rooted rogers rom in the 'How to root your captivate glide' thread, so I'd really like to be able to use CWM to get back to stock to see if the issue is my phone, my kernel, or the rom.
Edit: I tried Heimdall, but it just constantly 'Fails to initialise protocol!' on me, so that's a no go.

i second this request, im fortunate to have odin to flash the rooted stock rom CarpeNoctum provided but a CWM-Recovery version so we can do this on the fly
Hey fellas just moved to this section from the Inc s since I sold that phone and what a nice phone it was.So I got the Samsung glide and thanks to all the people here I rooted and installed the cwm and now I am ready to get my hands on a nice custom rom.
So now I am gonna backup my Rogers Samsung glide and upload it somewhere for the peeps above who where requesting it.
So keep an eye om this post for the download links.
Ok so I backed up my stock rooted rom and there is more than on file in there so someone tell me if I should upload all of them or just certain ones.
And also where is better to upload files by the way cause I have not done it in a while.
Cheers!
Edit:
Here is a link to my backed up stock rooted Rogers 2.3.5 rom.

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S2. Rooted it withe hercules tar kernel on Android 2.3. When I upgraded to JB the kernel no longer worked (couldn't root). I tried flashing Cyangoen 10.0 and 9.0 but neither wokred (Waited 20 minutes and nothing). Is there a kernel I need to flash with ODIN?
Also, looking for a good place to learn abot kernels in genral.
Many thanks.

Kernel is causing the problem. Flash only kernel which is made for specific rom/android version. follow this if you want to flash via Odin. I recommend you to install CWM because its easy,safe and time saving.
Installed CWM Recovery, tried to flash Cyanogen 9...now it keeps rebooting back into CWM...can't access the Recovery menu. I downloaded the updated kernel. How do I get it flashed?
I was able to connect via ODIN. Can't get recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules.tar to flash.
restart your computer log back in and use a different USB port and make sure you have all the DRIVERS for the phone plug it in flash the ODIN CWM file then you should flash an ICS ROM then flash JB to avoid any hiccups 2.3.4 is a big jump to JB might be giving you errors and you are rooted correct ?
Thank you. Yes I'm rooted an runnning smoothly with Juggernaut ROM for now. Want to change to Cyanogen 9.0. I'll flash the ODIN CWM file as you recommend. Where can I find a good ICS ROM and JB? Didn't know the jump from 2.3.4 to JB would be so big.
Many thanks.
what do you prefer the more stocky looking approach or you into AOKP/CM if you like stock then anything from PTMR and JAMISON904 are on point and very stable if you want some options and custom stuff look into the CM/AOKP around here in the development forums since you are rooted i would download a nice ICS you wont be on it long so doesnt matter lol and then finally jump ship to JB give it time for the battery to settle in becuase there was nothin like GB as far as the battery life goes this one guy who has amazing work and dedication http://goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener anything on there will do you justice when you get to the JB stage good luck and happy flashing!!
C13Kener DOES have some amazing stuff. Thanks. I see that he has a nice ICS stock ROM (Samsung-Stock-4.1.2-Tiberius-Kernel-1.1.zip). Can I just flash that from recovery or do I need to flash a new kernel via ODIN beforehand? Apprecaite your patience and help.

I think there is some confusion here. A ROM is not the same thing as a kernel.
I think thats where I'm having trouble. I have an older kernel (recovery-cwm-hercules.tar) and need to upgrade it before I can flash an ICS ROM. Don't know where to find kernels for the ROMS I want to flash. I thought some ROMs came with the kernel embedded in their zipfile, but finding thats not the case. ODIN is fairly easy to use, but I don't know where to find the right kernels for ROMs like Cyanogen.

Recovery is a tool used to flash ROMs and do backups.
TWRP and CWM are recoveries.
ROMs are the operating system of the phone. They come with a kernel. The kernel is what boots the phone into the OS. You can flash a different kernel if it matches the type of ROM you are on. I hope that clears up some of the confusion.
I have googled this question quite a few times but haven't found a real answer so here it is....I am currently rooted and running cm10.1.3 and I want to flash 4.3 ROMs but I'm not sure if I need to upgrade to the official 4.2.1 uvmc6 then reroot my phone in order for 4.3 ROMs to work correctly??? I did see somewhere that said about upgrading my recovery which is cwm 5. Something but its a touch version.. If someone could please shed some light on this process that would be great... I just want it done right so I don't screw something up.. Thanks in advance

Make a backup
Using Odin, install the latest TWRP Recovery
Reboot to Recovery
Make another backup (Once this is done, you can delete the one you just made, if you want to)
Flash 4.3 Rom
Flash 4.3 Gapps
Reboot
Enjoy
Or you can just flash twrp from the development thread.
yeah meekrawb made a flashable twrp 2.6.1.0 go search for it
Cool thanks you guys for the responses but I think I might go with Odin just to be sure nothing goes wrong!!
ODIN flashing increases your flash count. Avoid if at all possible.
I have searched first no luck however maybe someone can help me out.
I currently have the Galaxy S3 i747 running cwm recovery (did the option to disable the stock recovery from reseting). Right now i am running on 10.2.1 cm. Firmware is i747ucuemjb
here is my question... i know that there is a newer baseband firmware out for kitkat.. in the near future when there is a stable non snapshot cm11 id like to move over to that.
Can my current jelly bean run on the newer firmware that came out with the kitkat update?
is there an easier way to update my firmware to this than going back to stock?
the cwm recovery is would stop that if that is the only route so what to do about that and get the stock recovery back?
if the newer firmware wouldn't effect me running jelly bean id like to update it however.. id rather not go all the way back to a stock device in order to achieve this.
I have samsung kies and odin on my laptop that i used to flash cwm and am familier with its use.
anyone point me on the right path here?
thanks
edit:sorry found what i needed. found it under general. this can be deleted as i cant seem to find option
thank you
