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.

That's a relief. Thanks! I tried flashing cm9 and all I got was a bootloop. I'll do the radio as well though

What were the steps you took to get it to work? I keep on getting boot loops. This is what I have done..
1- wipe everything x2
2- flash paranoid rom
3- flash kernel (Eugene cm9 v4)
4- flash auto rotate fix
And then I just get a boot loop

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.

You never answered what roms and recovery u was using. I think u need to watch how to video on how to root and load recovery. Every rom has different steps according to the dev

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.
whats rom is stock(or looks like ) att 4.1.2 with-out att applications ??/Help plz im on stock right now rooted..

flash the at and t specific cleanrom at scottsrom.com or flash the all carrier edition 4.7. Either one will work for you
You can be stock rooted and use custom recovery and then flash a debloater zip without even switching roms you can find the zip here in xda for the note 2

STOCK KEYBOARD GREEN ACCENT THEME
Hello, I have created a green accented stock Samsung jellybean keyboard theme. It is to go with the ROM I am working on it (currently being a pain in my but) so I decided to release this.
-should work with any Samsung 4.1.2 base, be it koodo/telus or tmobile.
Instructions:
-flash the attached zip via recovery (I use TWRP 2.5)
Screenshots:

I haven't tried it on 4.2.2, I don't think it will work. I used the apk from the telus jb 4.1.2 as a base.

Didn't work for me. Flashed it rebooted and the keyboard....... gone!
I'm on rooted stock 4.1.2 odexed and I'm pretty sure that's why it didn't work.
No big deal about the keyboard disappearing I use another one anyway just wanted to check this out. Good luck on ur rom
