Galxy S2 for noobies

Hi all.
I'm just new to GT-I9100, and I want to know how to do things well...
Pardon me if I missed another threads, but i could not find a proper one... I came from SE world, and things were quite different. A.K.A. ROMs, kernels, and such things... Are here a fastboot mode as it were in my Arc? How can I install CWM? And more important. Can I try any other rom besides stock?
Thanks in advance!!!

Ok...your device is rooted right.....So then you can choose by your self witch rom you want....for ICS ..i'm running westcrips Resurrection Remix v1.0....
Works like a charm..try this i think it's the best ics experiance you can get on the sgs2..it's real smooth..and the battery simply amazing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
IMPORTANT make a titanium backup of all your apps.
And with safe backup ....backup your data ...like calendar contacts etc.
Before flashin....make a nandroid backup..for that go into custom recovery and run a backup.
Just in case if something goes wrong.

You can everytime go back....check on samfirmware.com
If your carrier not already released an update.....NOTE sure you can wait...no one pushes you..
but you will get an ICS without balls. With f****n touchwiz. sammy does it bc they think we/user love this.it looks like gingerbreat or 2.3.5.
ICS official is allready out...you can flash the open europe version via odin...(you gonna lose root...when you flash a stock)

2.3.5 is already shipped on mine
As you can see on my previous shot of system settings
And my question is that if i have to do an extra thing like unlock bootloader, as on Arc, or just use ODIN?
And another question. How can i reflash my original FW? Kies doesn't recognize my phone for firmware purposes... Even rescue one!!!

Hey worf was a kind busy sorry...
Just for info...you don't get updates via kies and ota because you're rooted.
When you want via kies ...so you should download a stock firmware from samfirmware...and flash via odin.

[GUIDE]All in one shop to make the S2 look like S3 (s-voice, wallpapers, etc) [ICONS]

Hello guys, ive been seeing that a lot of people have been struggling to find where exactly to find all the ports from the s3 so far (since everything gets buried here in the forums). So to help out those of you who cant seem to find what you are looking for i have started this threat to keep everything nicely laid out.

Again since I couldn't find the thread I used I uploaded the zip file i used.
You are welcome to download this an install through cwm (just flash the zip).

dont forget to thank VIBRANTURK

Okay this one here will give you the sgs3 Touch wiz launcher.
The best way to flash it would be to first clear cache and delvik cache, flash zip, and then fix permission.
YOU HAVE TO BE RUNNING AN ICS ROM THAT HAS TOUCHWIZ AS DEFAULT LAUNCHER. Or else it won't work.
(I will upload the zip file since I can't find the threat I used lol)

Thanks for compiling those links. I'm going to backup and wipe the voice talk, because I want to make room for S-Voice.

Roms
Why doesn't anyone make a S3 look alike rom? That would be beast. Also can anyone get the tap lockscreen that's on S3?

Well pretty much darkside runs the s3 touchwiz and you would just need to install the icons. Lol as for the lockscreen, everyone wants it. But it's not a simple port and therefore takes times. I'm also pretty sure devs rather work on their own roms, then to try and port over a lockscreen.

The only reason I haven't posted up an icon file is because I'll the ones I've tried haven't work for me. I don't want to put up something that doesn't work easy. I'm still looking, but so far no luck.

will flashing the s3 launcher replace the s2 launcher, or just install it side-by-side, so I can easily clear defaults and switch back if needed?

It will replace the original launcher. I suggest you make a backup before you flash incase you dont like it or get problems.

flashing the zip. I've been doing some searching and still can't figure out why it won't install. I've tried unistalling Voice command via titatium backup, flashing the zip file, clearing cache, and then fixing permissions. nothing works.
I see the voicetalk.apk in system/app, but when i try installing that I get a parsing error.

I just extracted it then set the icons manually for which ones I wanted changed. If you're using a launcher other than stock just long press on the current icon to change it. Otherwise use desktop visualizer.

Hey Ninos ill stop by tonight and take a look at it cause i had some questions for you about my unlock code...it wont work...i put my girls old att sim in and it asked for my code but it said wrong code when i installed it. I double checked the IMEI and they match so idk.
Edit: You have all stock? ROM, Kernel and recovery? If you have stock recovery then try and uninstall the superuser and rom manager apps and reboot into stock recovery and wipe cache and reboot see if that works?

If your sending it back to Tmobile, KL1 isn't even the official stock firmware anymore. I would be flashing LE1 personally. At the very least KID. Both have Odin firmwares in the dev section. That's just my opinion though.

Factory reset before odining

Well i have to wait a day for my exhange so ill flash the latest stock firmware. I took a gamble flashing this back to stock. Aside from the head set jack issues the usb doesnt want to connect without a lil jiggle.
I had to jig cable it once when i was odining the stock recovery. It got disconnected in the middle of the flash. I had to turn my a/c off cause even the small breaze hitting the wire would make it disconnect

Wildfire Hboot v1.30 S-Off

Wildfire
Rom: Stock 2.2.1
Kernal: Stock
Radio: Stock
Hboot: hboot 1.30.0000
S-on
A friend of mine recently purchased a Wildfire through the Hawaiian cell provider Mobi PCS and I offered to flash CM7 for him. However when I checked the hboot version it was 1.30.0000, looking through these forums and through googling I can only find passing mention of this hboot version. Does anyone know if the posted hboot downgrade process works for this hboot, or is he stuck S-on? Can you flash CM7 to the Wildfire without S-off?

hmmm

hmm. a new wildfire hboot in the wild. this is unexpected at this late stage for this device. but given that it is released so late on it should be htc dev compatible. this will not s-0ff the device, but it will unlock the bootloader and allow you to flash cm7. just unlock the bootloader with the link above. then fastboot flash clockworkmod recovery 3.x.x.x then flash the cm7 rom. rembering to back up!!
this will void your warrenty
also for confirmation can you please post a pic of the hboot for me please
good luck

I heard there was a 1.30 software version for the Wildfire S, not the HBOOT, because a new HBOOT at this stage of the Wildfire would be extremely unlikely, unless my April Fool's joke came true and HTC are releasing a late GB for the Wildfire!

That's what I thought first when I read the OP - but he writes

I hope you didn't tell him your sea username, otherwise you would have had a big dirty troll trolling you every day...
There was this guy on the One S forums who claimed to have S-OFF on his phone, everyone went crazy and then when someone asked him to post a picture...
Guess what? It said S-ON.

Sorry it took so long
Sorry about the wait but I've managed to get a picture of the hboot on the phone in question, shortly after I took this I unlocked it and flashed CM7, my friend couldn't be happier, thanks heavy_metal_man and all that responded.

Huh
Well I didn't realize that there were two different models of phone under the same name, last time I go by the release name... In any case I didn't download the ROM or recovery my friend did, I'll talk to him later and see what we flashed because the phone was working fine when all was said and done.

and in the end it's a cousin... WILLY THE WILDERBEE
sorry you guys on Tapatalk/XDA - won't look so funny there...

[TOOL] Lock/Unlock Bootloader + Remove Tampered | Aroma GUI

This tool will allow you remove the Tampered flag from your bootloader. It will also allow you to easily Lock and Unlock your Bootloader directly from recovery.
No root required since it is run in recovery, however you still must be S-OFF.
Before using this tool you need to be sure you are using the latest version of recovery as the M7 U/UL/Verizon TWRP requires at least version 2.6.3.3 for this package to work. The current downloads for both CWM and TWRP can found below:
The latest M7 Verizon TWRP can be downloaded HERE.
The latest M7 Verizon CWM can be downloaded HERE.
Saying this again in case you missed it: YOU MUST BE S-OFF!
To use the tool simply copy the zip file to your phone and then boot to your custom recovery and choose install. Then browse to where you copied the file and select it. The aroma installer will begin. Follow the steps outlined in the pictures below and choose the options you want to run.

Now you can just keep this file on your phone and Lock and Unlock at anytime without a PC and without losing data.

S-trace for originally discovering the location of the lock status flag. See this thread.
scotty1223 for his ADB shell commands. Threads HERE and HERE. Scotty was also very helpful to me in understanding some of the default values.
Just to be clear I did not just copy and paste scotty1223's commands into a aroma installer. The echo command can be problematic in aroma, so I developed original code for all four commands. The end result is the same in that the data in the partitions is changed as needed.

Demo and Troubleshooting

***Troubleshooting***
If the installer stays on this screen fore more than a few seconds, then it means you need to delete/format cache. This can be done within both recoveries. You may need to reboot recovery after clearing cache and begin the installer again. This seems to happen more on CWM than TWRP.
If the installer runs but your bootloader doesn't change, it is proably one of these things:
You are not S-Off
You do not have the latest version of recovery (I recommend TWRP)

I can vouch for this working with the latest TWRP 2.6.3.3.
Thanks for the hard work!

Per the OP, this requires the latest builds of TWRP or CWM, which are touch enabled.

The link for CWM in the OP is for touch. If you are running the classic version, try this out and report back if it works.

I read in the TWRP forum that 2.6.3.3 has a known bug with charging the phone, and some are recommending not to use it right now.
Have any of you guys that are running the latest version know about this bug, and if so has it been an issue enough to revert back to 2.6.3.0?
Sent from my HTC's darkside.

I flashed 2.6.3.3 Friday night and have not had noticeable changes in battery charging behavior, battery drain or performance issues in general. I seem to remember Tue charging bug brought up by andybones being something to do with charging the phone while powered off, causing the notification led to turn on and not reboot without going to bootloader. I don't turn my phone off so I haven't had the problem yet. Perhaps reading the other forum posts regarding that issue and posting in the original development forum on the TWRP thread would get you more answers.
Edit: I read the thread, and hashcode has recommended not to use that version of TWRP until the charging bug is fixed. I still haven't noticed it so I am not changing back.

It should work on the non touch version of CWM.
I have not noticed any issues with the new TWRP either regarding charging.

Hm this should be a good tool to get the Google drive promo on 4.3 sense roms :thumbup:

Any way you can add the code to remove the red text from the splash screen, or does this do that?

No, this tool is for the bootloader only.
You need to modify the hboot in order to remove that.
@santod040 already has one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481277
While I could build an option to flash that modified hboot during the install, it is better to to that manually so you are aware of your hboot. If you S-on with a modified hboot you will end up with a bricked device.
Same reason I don't add an option to turn S-on (that was asked for) because I don't want users to brick phones because the mod is too easy and therefor overlooked when returning to stock for some reason.
I may add the option to install the GE hboot with the dark unbranded bootloader, which doesn't have any red text in the future. However that hboot has yet to be tested on Verizon.
Thanks

In what circumstances would one want/need to toggle the lock state of the bootloader?

Possibly to return to stock for warranty claims. This is just a nice graphical interface that doesn't need command line or a computer. Just another great option that our devs provide us!

You need to have an unlocked bootloader in order to flash any recovery, stock or custom.
Also sometimes there are promotions like the latest Google drive 25GB one that requires a locked bootloader. Also some rom.zip and firmware packages require a locked bootloader on the GSM variants, but I am not sure if that is the case for Verizon.
