Should be in QA section but i might aswell answer now anyway.
You need to be rooted cwm installed , rom downloaded and flash via CWM, you will lose apps but you have to wipe before flashing.

this thread could have been avoided if people followed XDA forums' first rule.

When you unlock, root. In order to flash a new ROM you will need a complete data wipe. That's the breaks of the game

I second that!. You should tell us everything, including the exact rom names where you got them and your procedure. Because we could help you figure out where you went wrong. And if you did everything right then it should be brought up!

What recovery was on when u flashed.

I think you might flash a Rom which is not built for Tmo GS2. Keep in mind that Tmobile Galaxy S2 T989 is completely different from International S2 i9000, or other variants except Skyrocket from AT&T.

I hear what your saying bout the roms but idk if I'm gonna root it again I'm fearful of hard bricking another phone
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

Well, why not just root it and use just rooted apps. Instead of loading your phone with roms instead of doing an experienced job, do a beginner job. Save yourself the trouble, until you are educated on android; and brick your brain.

That is a different phone. Are u on twrp recovery or cwm these are the things u should know. When i first started i spent hours reading and watching videos. Youtube is ur friend but if i was u use the roms available for the phone you have.

Not a big difference but a huge difference in how the phone files are installed. If u read the threads of the rom u like it will tell u use twrp or cwm. Some roms just dont load proper that is why the dev tells u what to use. I have had about 5 different droids and they all had different steps to load roms.

My Note II has 4.1.1 (which is IMHO, at least after my experience on Nexus 7, the best JB version), and everytime I want to check for updates it takes forever and does nothing. Is it available for all regions? I'm Central Europe, my N2 is probably from German or Austrian batch because it spoke in german to me on 1st power-on I also read a lot of people complain on battery in 4.1.2...

Latest samsung stock rom for note 2 is 4.1.2
You can have the 4.2.x versions only if you use custom roms like aokp or cyanogenmod which are based on the new update from the nexus series... and to install custom roms you need root and custom recovery or mobile Odin

Not available for all region but you can manually update it with odin (read first line on my signature)
4.1.1 is having sds bug, your device can die anytime without reason
You should update to latest 4.1.2 (2013 released) asap.

Thanx for the info, I read on the forum about the SDS, but it is too fantastic to believe. It is under warranty anyways But just out of extereme-caution: What is the proper way to update to 4.1.2? Do I just flash the whole ROM through Odin or is there OTA that I can just run (like i.e. on my Neexus 7)? If I update, will I loose all my apps (I suppose yes - so that means backing up everything via Titanium)?

Flashing with odin is more reliable, safe and stable way.
Though flashing stock rom with odin / updating ota won't erase data, but backup is highly recommended before flashing anything.

Cool, I'm really tired of making backups and restoring - done my share of that with my old Desire HD
I can't really do backup because I don't have custom recovery, because I understand that with custom recovery, the flash counter is impossible to reset... so I just have to hope for the best

Titanium backup is nice for this reason

Yes, not all region has 4.1.2 for Note2. Mine doesn't so I flashed a custom kernel just to prevent SDS.

which kernel did you flash to prevent SDS?

Upgrading to ice cream sandwich/jelly bean

I'm trying to upgrade a Tmobile galaxy s2 to jellybean that's currently running GB rooted with a custom rom. I tried simply flashing a newer ROM (ics then and jb ) but it wouldn't finish booting. I searched like crazy but I can't find any sure answers, is there a guide for my problem or something I should do like firmware update? Thanks!

You should use odin to flash the official ICS first before jumping to ICS and JB roms

You don't have to do anything but flash the rom you want and an updated radio. I flashed gb to ics to jb numerous times. No need for odin.

CM 10.1 RC5 install question

Right now I'm running rooted TW and was planning on installing RC4 but RC5 dropped before I got a chance. Being a wary person I've given it a few days to see if there's any major issues. From what I can tell, to get the best results, I should install RC4 then RC5 or should I only do it if I have issues.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I clean flashed RC5 and haven't run into any problems.

Just flash RC5 straight off the bat. Its built into the script to wipe /system, so it won't matter if you flash RC4 first anyway.

Yea reading back on a lot of the posts i realized a lot of them mentioned they used twrp and i use cwm. Not sure if that matters but I always hear cwm is better.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Yeah, just install it clean off, I don't think there are very many serious differences between TWRP and CWM, at least not any that will ruin your Cyanogenmod install. Remember to flash the Gapps, I forgot my first time on AOSP.

Why is it necessary to install Gapps? In what order do you flash Gapps before installing Cyanogenmod or after. And were can I find it for my phone sph-L710.
Thank you.

Usually where ever you find your aosp rom they usually provide a link to the gapps download. You will flash the rom and right after flash the gapps then reboot.
If there's no gapps download link just Google search gapps you will find the goo download page with all the gapps for the different systems, make sure you select what you need.
The only roms you need to flash gapps with are aosp style roms because they are not licensed to carry the google apps.

I'll probably flash one of the latest nightlies, I'm not a power flasher so l've been reading the forms religiously in an attempt not to brick another phone.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Go for it, the nightlies are really quite stable, usually. Just read the posts to the thread for it to see if there are any serious bugs, chances are other people will have flashed it before you and posted their problems. Even then, most of the problems are just bugs that are usually tolerable, at the most minor inconveniences.

RC5 is running very nice for me, so far I've found no bugs and everything seems to be working.
