Is it possible to flash the stock Galaxy S3 ROM onto an Galaxy S2 (and have it work)?
If it's not possible to flash the stock ROM, is anyone working on a port or something that is very close to stock?
The S2 is my first android, and I haven't had the need to root or flash a custom ROM yet. I recently applied the ICS update though, and it's driving me crazy. I hate some of the changes.
Thanks for the help.

Unless it was ported version, no. Absolutely not. You will brick your phone by doing so.

you cant directly flash s3 rom to s2.. i also had a s2. stock ics for s2 is realy a not good one.. try this rom.. andy x 15.3.. it has many s3 features and it is really good and beauutifuuull... and also download the jk deluxe settings 14.1 to do more customisations..

Thanks, I suspected as much.
I will look around for the andy x 15.3 rom, and read the guides on how to flash it.
Thanks again!
Try the Jedi mind trick ROM its pretty darn close to an s3. I'm running it now its pretty fast. Take a look in the dev forums. Its a very stable rom

to do all that you have to flash a recovery (cwm)...and thats rooting ur phone...i dont understand why anybody hasnt mentioned that...thats the only way you can use the roms they mentioned...and if your gonna do all that...i think the most stable rom is darkside v8 ...or you can use the newest jelly bean rom...they are coming along very nice...and jelly bean is all that...
The S3 and S2 have diffrent processors and a completely different hardware. You will have a very expensive paper weight. Ive heard many good things thought about Jedi Mind trick, that it has many S3 features.
I am running the Jedi Mind Trick ROM on my S2 and it doesn't look much different than my gf's S3 (obviously some things are different). She works for a "technology" company and it kills me that she has a nicer phone than I do - for now. The Jedi Mind Trick is probably as close to an S3 you can get on an S2 IMO.

Hey blackwing182, if you have time, could you please port over sk8's latest recovery. He fixed up the custom zip maker and added a few other features which makes it nice. The latest version as of today is v14.4.5. I appreciate it. :fingers-crossed:
Please < FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK> This recovery has Issues. I am working on a customers phone that tried flashing this recovery. It will cause issues. Random shutdowns,
Running backups in recovery phone will shutdown in the middle of running backup and last but not least... BRICK THE PHONE... I just ran JTAG on the phone and retried using this recovery and it had all these issues and bricked the phone again. Not trying to cause problems but be for warned..
I've never had any of those issues. I've been on Sk8erwitskil's recovery since tdj first recommended way back when. Sounds like seriously bad downloads on your end.

1- you are a bad at fixing phones, 2- this recovery was tested before pushing it the hercules users, 3- did you think that a recovery can brick a new samsung device? Please go elsewere, and try to **** up a customer charging it for something that never happen, shame on you and shame on your excuses.

The Hercules 4.1.2 leak has not been leaked. So far all kernels and ROMs that claim to be 4.1.2 official are based off Skyrocket. Until we get our leak Skyrocket is our only hope.

I was using the CM10.1 nightly 4.2.2 rom that was released for the GS3 on March 15.
can you make calls ? I would check your IMEI make sure it did not get lost.

It sounds like you might have lost your IMEI, go into settings and make sure it is not on 0 or empty

I read about that, however my 3G was still working. it would just never go to 4G even at locations I always had 4G before.
after flashing have you ever saw the 4g icon ? if not I would go to the ROM thread and ask if it included in the ROM.

it was included in the rom, i even tried the •Jelly Bean 4.1.1 I535VRBLK3 Base from synergy and had the same issue. just went back to my Darthstalker X rom and it seems to be working again.
Well that sucks, but I am glad your 4G is back up and running. I have not ever flashed any CM10 when I had my S3 because of the losing IMEI crap instead I would flash AOSP ROM's and never had any problems. You may want to try one of those.

works fine with custom roms only i have that problem when i run stock
Good evening everyone. I recently got this phone from the Black Friday deal at Best Buy for 80$ and rooted and did all of that without much problem. I installed the Wicked ROM without any issues, and tested it out but I prefer AOSP. But when I flash Cyanogen or Bliss, I lose all of the mobile data , the baseband, here I include a screenshot. I have flashed a stock ROM once again, activated it again without any problem, but when I try to flash an AOSP ROM again I lose everything. Is there anything I can do about that? I have searched the forums and Google and found no solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you check to make sure that the md5 matched? Anytime I've had that happen either the md5 didn't match, or I needed to use a different kernel. My Goto kernel for AOSP ROMs has been BMS.

Thanks for the tip, tried flashing Cyanogenmod with that kernel and the same thing happens, I lose all of the settings related to the Baseband, Modem and IMEI. I checked the md5 and it matches completely. I have no idea what is happening. For now I settled into the Conquest Singulalirty ROM which provides an ASJOP look but on offical firmware. But still I would like to know how to solve this problem so if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated.
Is your phone the L710T model by any chance? I had the same problem with every rom I tried EXCEPT for Gummy 3.0. For some reason Gummy 3.0 recognizes my baseband/modem but if I try Gummy 4.0 or any other AOSP rom, no baseband.

Flash the file here: http://androidforums.com/threads/mo...apn-fix-wip-cm-aosp-4-4-x.840298/#post6516416
It will modify necessary files in the system to allow you to connect. Also, dial ##72786# to reactivate after flashing. That all worked for me on my Virgin S3 running Carbon. Good luck!
The SPH-L710T is what was on sale at BestBuy for $80 (as I found out after running into a similar problem), and it's a pain in the ass. It seems that TW ROMs are the only ones that don't break the radio... and the M10 snapshot of CM11 apparently (except rotation is backwards). I'm looking for a fix as well.
It seems that all of this can be fixed by a custom kernel, but there's no AOSP/CM kernel (that I know of) that fixes both.
I wish I knew something about kernel development...

That is exactly the one that I have, the 80$ Best Buy from Black Friday. Yeah, I tried what metalhead131 said and it did not work. Hmmm, M10 snapshot worked for you? I will try it out them to see how it goes. In what way did it break the rotation? It does not rotate or is it inaccurate? It is a pain in the ass that we have so many ROMS available but we can't use them. I have been using the Conquest Singularity by Moon Knight. The one that is here in XDA is kinda of outdated but if you Google it you will find his blog with the latest update. He created an AOSP looking ROM but it is TW underneath. That combined with Gravity Box has satisfied me for now, but I hate no being able to flash AOSP ROMS. I know nothing about kernel development, but if someone wants to help with this I can provide anything they need in order to fix this problem with this T version of the phone.
I will try to take the kernel of the M10 and flash it with another ROM to see if the rotation works. I will update as soon as I do that.

Yeah, the radio worked with the M10 snapshot. I was able to get the latest version of ParanoidAndroid to work with the M10 snapshot kernel as well.
When I say rotation is broken I mean when you hold it sideways, it rotates the wrong way, so it's upside down.

Excellent. Thanks for the good news! That doesn't bother me that much, so I will do that with the Bliss ROM that I wanted to install. I will keep investigating and trying things to see if we can fix the rotation issue. I will keep the thread updated.
Semi-Fix for the rotation issue on the M10 kernel.
After checking some apps out, I found one that worked well for the rotation problem using AOSP ROMS on the troublesome SPH-L710T. The app is called Adaptive Rotation Lock and is available for free on the Play Store. What it does is that a little button pops up everytime you rotate your phone, and if you don't click that button the screen will not rotate. So once you put your phone horizontallly, click on the button that pops up to allow the phone to rotate upside-down, then rotate the phone so it is not upside-down anymore, but do not click the button, so it stays in the correct rotation. It is a little cumbersome, but it beats always being upside down while using the phone horizontally! I think this is a good option while we find out how to fix this issue in the kernel.

Greeting kdude63. Thanks to your tips I was able to test many roms and as you settled on Paranoid Android. The only problem I have right now is that intermittently point I lose cell coverage for like 2 minutes, but then I get it back. Does that happen on your phone?
I have also tried many kernels to see if I find another one that works but no go. I am still using the M10 boot.img. Have you found another one that works?
And thanks for helping out with the ODIN tar for this phone! It makes me feel a lot more safe when I am experimenting.

I don't currently use PA or CM as my daily driver, so I don't know. (I don't like dealing with the rotation issues)
I was testing some other kernels earlier, none of them worked before I got careless and accidentally flashed an i9300 kernel, so I can't use my phone for the time being.

Yep, I flashed it normally. Using Philz I got the Wicked 8 zip file and a couple of the addons that are available without any problems but since I don't like the Touchwiz UI too much I am currently running Conquest. Maybe try the full Wicked 8 zip? I did not try the barebones, but I can confirm that Wicked 8 works on the T model. It has the rotation issue but a couple of post ago I described how to get around that. Let me know if it works!

I'm glad! At least we can use Touchwiz based ROMs while we can find a way to create a kernel that is completely compatible with the T model. Is your rotation working correctly?

Yes rotation is working and with the next few updates on CM side they will be fully working on the T model cause CM already updated a fix for the T model
I got spooked when the baseband disappeared and rotation was not working. Went back to stock. Of course you also seem to need the special 2.7 twrp in order to mount system. But the price was right.
