Haha, well hello to you too. Welcome to xda...
I would suggest you start reading the stickies and searching the e4gt forum for that. Fairly certain I have seen at least 1 or 2 threads started about alltell. Check it out!

What is the model number in about phone?

Yeah, should probably give the model number just to be on the safe side. You don't want to go flashing something meant for another phone...

Model Number and Info
I have the same phone through alltel as well so his info would be the same as mine.
Model is SCH-R760
Running 2.3.6
Build is GINGERBREAD.XARFF24
I don't think you're going to be able to use any of our ROMs. You're hung to have to wait until something is built from source for your device.

There's a link in the article,
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-android-4-0-3-ics-xxkp8-firmware-46396/
Oh dear...
I pulled this from the article. Read carefully.
This firmware and the instructions for installing it is for the international variant of the Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) and may not work for the U.S. variants or other variants (e.g., Epic 4G Touch, Skyrocket, GT-I9100G, etc.).
If another person flashes this, I will disown my first born
Do not play with it you'll brick your phone. Calk had a version with no radios or bootloader. Look for that or watch qbkings video review.

not flashing but I am gonna take it apart. Not stirring the pot guys, just came back from Verizon and I miss my nexus, I would love to figure out some porting. Just looking for input thats all.
Some on the Epic Touch have tried it. LOL. And there phone was screwed afterwards. Honestly though I don't know how buggy it is.
OP. Down? Nice

I flashed the international ics when I first got this phone accidentally.I didn't realize that there were so many variants of the sgs2. It flashed fine. No radios or data and no back or home button... Something like that.
I just ran the sfhub stuff and everything was fine.
Does anyone know if sprint is going.to release an official ics? Rumors I heard was that early June that we would see an official update to ics?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App
looks like your new so im not gonna flame you, but just do some reading bro, ICS is the most talked about thing in this forum. A little reading will go a long way.
To answer your question, there is no confirmed date but we have had great running leaked builds for months now.
Well I'm new to Samsung devices sorry was an og evo fan myself
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App
there have been approx 30 leaked revisions of ICS for our device. We should be seeing it officially any time now.
I would root my phone but honestly like I said I'm new to the gs2 if I had to replace this one already cuz I didn't relize that I flashed international version

Edit:Our device is the epic 4g touch on this forum
If you were able to root you HTC the epic is much easier to root there are one click tools to root the epic in the dev forum sfubs has easy to follow instructions and there are gb based roms and if you want a taste of ICS roms as stated I would root just to get rid of bloatware

I have an auntie that has a T-Mo Galaxy S2 and when trying to upgrade it says that there is no new upgrade even tho that it is on froyo. Trying to connect it to kies, the program doesn't recognize it. She took it to the T-Mo store and they said that it was a bug in some of the S2's and were unable to do anything. My question now, is it safe to install cwm and flash a jelly bean rom even tho that this bug is present??? Thanks in advance
Sorry for the double post but I'm not sure if it's worth noting, but the front camera is on the right side of the phone as opposed to the left (looking at pictures from the web). Not sure if this is substantial or anything just a quick note.

I'm not sure, but the phone is on froyo. I would provide a screenshot, but I do not have access to the phone right now.
You have to upgrade through kies software on your PC if you're on stock Gingerbread.

The phone is not on gingerbread it is on FROYO. When trying to connect to kies it would not recognize the phone after trying multiple troubleshooting techniques.

Can you post some information about the phone from the settings? Like build number, phone model, etc.? Because the Galaxy S2 never had froyo, so I'm very curious to see what your settings are like.

I would but I am not in possession of the phone right now. But as I said before even t-mobile workers were unable to upgrade. This is why I am looking into if its safe to flash a custom room or even stock jellybean.

Try and take some screenshots or something. Because even the first Galaxy S2 (the I9100) was released with Gingerbread, not Froyo, so this is stumping me right now.

Does it look like that? That's the Galaxy S 4G. Its like a slight revision to the OG Galaxy S. It doesn't have official CM Builds iirc though.
If it doesn't look like that, then she doesn't have a Galaxy S device, just some random Samsung phone

Samsung will take forever to release this to our device. Not before selling 10 millions of galaxy s4 .
Now let's start a pool on how many noobs will flash the international version on their non international SGS3 and brick it lol.... But cool maybe after working on 4.2.1 they'll work on releasing 4.1.2 for our devices

So true, used to own a Nexus S and was supposed to get Google first updates right after the Galaxy Nexus and of course take a wild guess on what happened... Got it like after three other phones.. :what:
This time we can blame more on carrier like T-Mobile because phone like GS3 has leak for update on international version tells me that Samsung is working harder to release updates this time around. But update for carrier specific phone like ours will get stuck at T-Mobile for adding bloatwares and testing and such.. Had same issue with GS2 we will probably never see 4.1.2 on T-Mobile GS2 even though there was leak images for international one.
In the end it's all about business for them really..

Have no idea about T-Mobile, but up here in Quebec, Videotron doesn't really bloat the rom. They add one or 2 apps but that's it. So we'll keep our fingers crossed.

Yeah but its a matter of time because videotron doesnt have much of features like rogers online shop music etc...
When they will expand it will be little more bloated.

Hey guys. I have an altell galaxy s2 and i have absolutely no idea why this thing is still running 2.3.6. As far as i can tell, its most similar to the epic touch 4G. Im just wondering if any of you guys know how to go about rooting this phone and what Roms need to be flashed to it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Google searches have really done nothing but confused me. Most of them lead to post where people complain about the phone not being updated.

Well thanks for pointing that out. Though I never herd of a altell variant of the galaxy s II
Edit: Did some research for that model number and its not a known model number for major carriers of the GSII, though it had in parentheses "(U.S Cellular)"

....
Yes. It's the USC variant. I'm assuming Alltel is using the same one.
AFAIK that variant isn't quite the same as our E4GT. I know there was some ROMs by a former XDA member who's name shall not be named or you get an instant permaban from XDA... not really but it adds a cool drama effect right?
Check out the archived development over at Android Central.
