updating android version - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Guys all of the Custom ROMS says 4.1.2 but my Android version is 4.0.4 if i flash any of those ROM will get problems?
will update the version automatically? or do i have to upgrade version before instlling a custom ROM with 4.1.2 version.
if so, how do i upgrade to 4.1.2 from 4.0.4?

You can just use a custom recovery to flash a 4.1.2 ROM, make sure you full wipe (in recovery do factory reset and wipe /system)
Before you do this make sure you back up any data you want to keep.

I will have mercy on you, cause I asked this as a noob also. First, above all, wrong section. Please ask a mod to move to Q&A. Second, the android version is part of the ROM. ROMS are built in a paticuler android version. Upgrading android versions is a non issue.

You have a whole slew of options. You can search 4.1.2 in the thread titles in this very section. You can also grab CM10 for the Hercules from get.cm or Goo Manager by searching Hercules.

Cyanogenmod is always a good choice. I'm using all star liquid smooth ATM, its rock solid and has the best battery life of any ROM I've ever used on my t989. Jedi mind trick is pretty awesome too...
You've got a lot of reading to do

This going to be really fun for you the next month or so. Try every rom type so you know what's best and don't forget to backup the ones you like. Then after you find you a cool ROM (AOKP ) try messing with different kernels.

And what ever you do DO NOT FLASH ANY ROMS OTHER THAN T989 AND SKYROCKET ROMS ANY OTHER WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE but stick with our ROMs for awhile till you get the hang of flashing since theirs a couple things you gotta flash for skyrocket roms

Most probably with a computer because any of his indicated phones can do that speed if their not LTE. Even our hercules can only do H+, 2 times the 3g speed in the USA T-Mo network, that is ~40Mb.

Says at the bottom he is on U of Chicago server. So it must have been a wifi connection and universities consistently have fantastic connections.
@OP
Look others have said this already but I'll reiterate. Dont worry about the version of the ROM. You can install a ROM with whatever android version and it will run so just choose one that you think will be stable and fast. The thing that you have to pay attention to is the google apps package you flash. Google apps are NOT included in almost all ROMs and have to be flashed separately, after the ROM is installed. Each version of android has a GApps package specifically for it and they will not work properly if they are mismatched. So it is very important that when you DL the GApps you pay attention to whether it is for 4.0.x or 4.1.x or 4.2

[Q] New around here looking for Roms

As title says I'm new to this site I have only got Calkulin's E4GT 2 ICS Rom. Looking into getting a blend, I have a White E4GT back on GB EL29. Already rooted obviously. All Roms will be looked at, I'm looking for something like ICS but battery saving and themes and such are applicable.
also
What is the difference in these kernels/modems? Like mine is EL29, and there is EL26 and stuff, when flashing a new rom will it change by itself or do I need to self flash a new kernel, and I had the issue with Calkulins ICS where the yellow triangle appeared, so I followed qbking77's guide on how to fix that, if I were to flash say, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538848 this rom, or so other that needs a new kernel, how would I (if possible) keep my kernel to make sure that yellow triangle stays away?
I'm not sure how to keep the triangle away with ICS but, with gb I've flashed almost every rom, and el29 is the most latest release for the epic touch.
Assuming you know what modems are, each and every modem reacts differently on every phone(I'm pretty sure no one knows why).. So you'll just have to play around with modems to find your best combination,
as far as the kernels go, some roms come with a certain kernel others use the one previously on your phone(I beleive), just read the rom info an it should tell you if it includes a certain rom
Edit: ah sorry.. a modem is the radio in your phone, it's what communicates between the tower and phone for service, wifi and what not
=D Double edit: this might help out to..

Ah, this is helpful for the second post, thank you. I'm still wondering as to what Roms I should try next, I liked Calkulin's but I'm one for trying everything till I find the one for me. Any suggestions will be nice.
Everybody has different likes and needs when it comes to roms. I just flashed the fd24 leak earlier today and so far its very nice. My main need is stability and the official leaks are the most stable in my opinion. Read a lot and ddcide for yourself. Ths nocturnal venum rom has also caught my eye once they get the rest of the bugs out.

Eh, I found the review, but I mean it looks nice, but I also found Mijjz's blend which looks really nice. How would I install it if I'm running EL29, but it says FD19? Just go into recovery and format all then flash it? Or do I need to odin my phone and flash a FD19?

I restored a GB backup when I was running Calk's E4GT 2... So, there's no way for me to use this rom? I'm really confused.
You can use an ICS Rom and flash it through cwm but you'll have to use Odin to flash if u wanna go back to a gingerbread rom

So, I can just put it on my sd card run Calk's flash all and flash the rom from CWM? Sorry I'm making this complicated, don't want to risk bricking my phone.

If you are using a GB rom you can restore a GB rom, but if you are on ICS you cannot restore back to any roms. You need to go back to Gb then installing the rom. In order for you to go back to GB you can follow QBking77 video (youtube) on how to root your samsung epic 4g touch. (by re-rooting it brings you back to a fresh GB rom, with no worries of bricking your phone).
I suggest reading here How Not to Brick your E4GT
You can nandroid from an ICS rom back to a GB rom, I did when I was on Calk's ICS rom to get a gps fix.. Although, there is a risk in bricking it, its up to you. Personally I'm on Venom's ICS rom and it is by far the most stable ICS leak I've used, and has great battery life as well.

Just flash the rom after format? Or Flash a new kernel? Cause my current kernel is stock but last time I flashed an ICS rom it gave me the annoy I1900 triangle boot up thing, is that going to be an issue?
Wipe cache,dalvik then format system and then wipe data. If going to ics rom make sure you are on a gb rom with CWM. Or I believe you can flash through odin, but definitely do some research.

Last question on your pic of your about phone, your baseband is FD19, would I need to flash to that before trying that rom? or could I just wipe like you said and flash from EL29?
Read this threads first 4 posts first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24733831
This ROM is AOKP 32 based and needs EL26 with CWM(found in first post on above thread). As for baseband, that is just the modem and any doesn't need to be flashed unless you want to try a different modem. To do so just Mobile Odin el26 with cwm wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvick, flash modem of your choice, rewipe cache/dalvick, flash rom, flash gapps and reboot to AOKP Goodness

Upgrading from fe22 with stock kernel

Rather ask then break something, but running MJJz's blend 1.6 which is currnetly under FE22 but no cwm. I've been out of the flashing world since then (May) so a bit behind on the what/why. I'm looking at my windows VM with Odin which when I start shows
E4GT - FE22 Restore - Rooted. So can I get a 1-2 refresher.
I have the new MJ ROM which contains has the updated FF18, but can't install that (or any other ROM w/o a recovery).
So do I need a newer version of Odin, or do I simply run that, connect, and go? Time is getting more forgiving so I will have time to play a bit more often and keep up.
Tnx
I hope you got your flame suit on cause a flame war is about to begin.

Well since you have asked something in wrong section, let me just answer it..
Use mobile odin to flash EL26 Kernel with CWM and then flash ANY rom you would like from the recovery.
You could use Sfhub's auto root package to flash EL26 kernel with CWM and then flash ANY rom you would like.

Hey, I got nothing else to do while I read up on mobile odin (actually pretty cool) or just go straight odin .. so bring it on >
ok so if I have a problem do I keep it in this comical one or post a new one in the Q&A?
The problem, well since you asked, I used odin 1.85 and the stock el26 with CWM. Flashed, rebooted and the boot screen now has the model along with a nice yellow triangle. The good is that I was I did get into CWM (doing another nand backup) but I have some new ROM's to test, do I simply format and install? I will read up while I await the comical (yet deserved) comments or post in the q&a!
Regardless, you guys are great, so thanks!

I was hoping this was moved by now but anyways..
Thats why I posted the 2 methods. Auto root package and mobile odin. They don't trigger that triangle. You can use usb jig or triangle away app to get rid of that ugly triangle.

[KERNEL] Stock Touchwiz MDB - SetUID Restriction Removed

I am not responsible for anything you do with your device. Anything you or someone else flashes or modifies on your device or someone else's device is not my fault or responsibility to fix (or break).
What is this?
SGH-M919V_JB_Opensource.zip [MDB Version] compiled with the defconfig grabbed from May 7th OTA - M919UVUAMDL. You can grab the source like I did, from opensource.samsung.com. Defconfig was the only change, since CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_SETUID was already commented out from the source linked previously. Modules are also included from this kernel source, same link as previously as well.
Flash this if you want to have a non-SetUID restricted kernel compatible with the May 7th OTA - M919UVUAMDL and you don't want to flash the old boot.img which is done in my root thread.
Downloads
Mirror 1 - Dev-Host
Mirror 2 - Batakang
Source
Github
Instructions
Flash in the Custom Recovery of your choice.
If you aren't already rooted, flash a Root.zip such as SuperuSu by Chainfire or Superuser by Koush.
Reboot and enjoy.
Tested On
M919UVUAMDB
M919UVUAMDL
Be Advised
SDCard's using exFat will not work with this kernel.
Flasher updated, now will not remove all modules in system, but will just overwrite the ones made by Samsung Open Source. This way you don't need to flash exFat modules separately. You can still do so if you want.
The exFat kernel module is not open source and thus is not included in this. You can flash this to get exFat working if it is not..

Just got my s4 yesterday and have already done the OTA update, sorry if I'm being redundant here but just want to double check the procedure just to make sure I don't have any issues.
Do I root the phone using matt's " [INFO][HOWTO][ROOT] May 7th OTA - M919UVUAMDL" thread and after completion flash this kernel?
Thanks, just want to get it right the first time.

I think our processor is slightly different (300 karit) even though they are both called snapdragon 600. I could be wrong.

Someone else can, but I like the plastic not to melt off the back

Go check out Moon ROM

This ROM is in the N7105 forum. I love it. TouchWiz with tablet/phablet mode. Any app floating windows and plenty of options to choose from with Aroma Installer. Just thought I would sharewhat I think is a great ROM and different from what we have in our forum.

In Aroma there are options for modem and kernel. Just check do not change for both and you will retain your current modem and kernel. After i set the ROM up i flashed the new Saberkernel. Just my preference. No mirror. Sorry download was slow for me also.

The speeds are about the same. That's about average for me on the south side of Chicago. I usually get about 20 -25 on the north side. Battery life is good also. I'm oc'd at 1.7 and gpu at 733. I will post a battery screenshot later.

rlee----I would seriously advise on not flashing v8 as that is for the 7100 from what I have read, the original link on this thread to the v1 works for our phones. Like I said I read through the forums that is linked to the original one on this thread and when you go to the thread for the v8 op Tmobile users are stating they don't have data etc on tmobile and they stated that the v1 from this thread link is for our devices as I wanted to install. But.... if you get it working fill me in I would be interested to run this, I installed the v1 and all is well and works good thus far.
Been using this rom, great concept, totally reversible to use in regular phone mode via built-in ui app switcher. There is a youtube on this something galaxynote2root
First time the rom would not boot - likely because of all the aroma options I chose. I wiped and reflashed again using mostly suggested options and it all went well. Will try saber kernel for o/c as the rom is a bit demanding at times.
can anyone post a mirror of v1? goo is taking upwards of 11 hours

thanks for the heads up, i flashed the V8 first and everything was working ok except for data, (i kept my tmobile mode). as long as u dont flash the included modem you should be ok (no bricking). so i then flashed the V1 and everything worked fine, except that i was experiencing some lag while scrolling through menus and websites, i tried flashing with different kernels as well but always got the lag. i flashed back to my DD for now. Moon looks promising but its not what im used too
Thanks for.pointing this Rom out looks nice

Wipe/flash ROM/wipe dalvik/reboot. That's what I did. Don't change kernel in Aroma. How long did the boot animation stick?

How long did you wait? Usually, at least on my device when I flash a rom it could take several minutes to load. But as stated above if it takes over 5 min then do the steps.
I tried it several times and it stay for like 10min on the alien logo, and yes I wipe before and wipe after

I flashed it about an hour ago and it seems quite responsive (running Virgin 1.3). I did get a FC when I opened Settings once, but not the second time. I'll report back in a couple days or so of testing. Looking for battery life as well.

no. let your GE ROM boot first. then reboot to recovery and flash. wipe cache and dalvik cache.
it is compatible with any I9505 running a Google Play Edition build, including SGH-M919

I actually did flash it right after I flash the ROM and its working pretty well. I only problem I didnt like in the faux kernel was it doesnt connect to the computer and this kernel fixed it, so i like this kernel. thank you.

at the moment i don't think anyone has an official build except for the GPE phones. there is a full dump but i don't think it has been made Odin flashable yet. when this happens, then yes, i believe you will be able to.
That'll be the day

Last night I got 0.4%hr battery drain, 96.3% deep sleep, after 8 hours, with wifi on 24/7 and my VoIP app running (Sipdroid). This is on par with the best I've had to date. ROM is running quick and snappy so far with no problems at all.
More later.
Night #2 dropped to 0.3%hr drain with the same specs. Really nice kernel. No problems noted.
And night #3. Just for giggles I turned off my VoIP app and got 0.1%hr battery drain over 8 hours, and 99.4% deep sleep. Excellent.
Final post on this kernel.

I have not tried 4.3 a of yet, due to the current app restore/TB issues, etc. Still having fun with 4.2! Your rom is great.

thanks. i never use TB. when i flash a new ROM, i make sure i'm at home on wifi so everything restores from the market on its own. takes me a few min or so to set my phone back up.
4.3, imo, is more polished now. the lock ring is fixed/centered, less TW stuff, and the kernel seems to be performing better (stock vs stock) to name a few things i've noticed.
