SGS2 sale price tip :p

guys do not sell ur s2 for less than 21-22 if it has warranty left..

im easily getting offers of 17-18 and upto 19 (if real lucky, then may get 20) for my at&t gs2 without any warranty! just try a bit harder n ul find them goats :p...or should i say sheep :p
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
It will not be available in India, its CDMA version of oneX for AT&T USA..
[Galaxy S II General] manojcitc:
I know that but still it's a good device as review say..You can use any cdma device on reliance,tata if you can handle evdo speed..
[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
I sold mine already for 20K..some 40-45 days warranty was left..n dude 18K price was offered to me by around 8 people..only 2 or 3 agreed for 20k !!!

So your assumption is flawed (talking in terms of critical reasoning..lolz),i.e. just bcoz people are offering 18K..we cant assume that if warranty is there they will take it for 22K ;)

need some "champu" to buy at 22K..

Guys, flashed CM 9 finally.

Couple of issues.

Internal SD card is not being detected. So practically nothing to browse through file explorer, not able to use camera or gallery. It says insert an SD card‘

Secondly, PC is not detecting phone for me to update to latest build.

:(
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Internal SD or the memory card not being detected?

Edit: Phone itself is not getting detected? If you go to system - storage - can you see the internal storage?

Also did you format your internal SD through PC before flashing?

Can we use ROM Manager with CM9? Because when I opened it and asked it to check for updates it said you need to install clockwork mod recovery . I thought its already included in this installation ?

Guys

Please read this article carefully.There might be a warning for GS2 owners in it.

I laughed uncontrollably when I read this comment:

"So what is the moral of the story? Well, Samsung only talked about the problems of the SGS1 screen after the SGSII had come, they only let us know about problems of GS2 after the SGSIII as been announced so I bet when they launch an SGSIV they will say «sorry for those who bought the previous but your screen isn't that good and we knew it» Bottom line, if you buy Samsung you will get screwed sooner or latter."
[Galaxy S II General] exynoss:
What do u think guys when cm9 team officially released cm9 I mean not that alpha beta gamma nightly versions.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
I think they saying this for Next version publicity and more sales

Maybe in July/Aug they will release
[Galaxy S II General] exynoss:
Samsung always forgot their old phones i.e. sgs2 is only handset which has ics support officially. What happened to sgs why no ics support by samsung .how they could forgot sgs is only the mobile from where Samsung became a super smartphone company.

And on the other hand look@ HTC they has lots of phones which support ics officially.

F**k u Samsung. U must improve ur plans for ur old devices.
[Galaxy S II General] Neo.:
Lol. There's no end for this! No Manufacturer I MEAN NO ONE! Supports their devices as good as Samsung!

[Galaxy S II General] Geekeek:
Can someone plz tell me what's the use of ROM manager in CM9 if we are always flashing only through recovery?

I opened it but it says I need CWM.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
ROM manager does not like CM9 and it screws whatever you do with it. So simply use the stock recovery which is there. All you can use the ROM manager is for downloading ROMs if you have premium version and some free downloads.

SGS had some problems with the partition size..so ICS would not gel properly...

Thats how technology is and will be..

Analogy- Windows 7 or Windows 8 will be failure on intel Celeron processor..I think you get the point ;)

I have no idea about HTC, but SE/LG are all bad at updates..

I think HTC gives proper updates..usually gsmarena post about HTC updates at regular intervals..

All in all S3 seems better in the review!

[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
ROM Manager is an useless thing ( sorry for the extreme wordings) but hell yeah!! I dont like it.

I got my first soft brick because of that..so i never used it after that..Use the stock clockword mod recovery..

Ohh if you wanna experience your first soft brick..please go ahead ;) Dont worry we can bring your phone back !!

Yeah magic kernel handy :p
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Sgs didn't get the official update your because of the system partition size AFAIK. The same will happen for sgs2 when jelly bean gets released. Though things are hackable there are some standards that has to be maintained by a company. Samsung still released the value pack. What about others? poor LG has Already postponed their ics for their flagship device optimum 2x to q3.

[Galaxy S II General] chetan_mohanty:
Just a thought

I think with S3 i will be using Samsung ROM only..I know its an extreme and big statement..:p But think about it..developers will take a lot of time here on xda to port all the cool software tricks in the S3 to CM9/AOKP..So whatz the point in not using the full capability of the phone??
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well I'm gonna tell just once so people won't start flaming me.

The interface should have been called DAP instead of PAD. PAD doesn't sound good in XDA.

And do take a nandroid backup. I screwed my files when changing theme in settings when on v0.3.

@Ravi also I made a soft brick of my phone only because I restored a nandroid backup of CM9 or AOKP to a GB.

And also my phone did not boot after flashing Pandroid was because I flashed it on top of GB. But flashing Pandroid on top of CM9 will be no problem.
[Galaxy S II General] Geekeek:
Is there an issue with YouTube on CM9? Taking really long to buffer videos.

ITs better to have s3 discussion in s3 thread , what you say? i feel it might disturb some people here :p

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
I edited my post again. So check back. Flashing Pandroid on CM9 will give no problems.

Then actually what I did was when on v0.3 I changed the theme in phone mode. Then I went to tablet mode and everything started FCing. I think this is fixed in v0.4.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:

Taking the plunge! Help

I am a total n00b when if comes to the android platform. I just got my SGS2 a week or so back and already fed up of waiting for Samsung's official release of 2.3.5. I should catch on quickly as I do have experience flashing Sony ericssions, jail breaking the iPhone and recently root my friends HTC Lengend. :)

I have decided to flash a stock european firmware but I'm thoroughly confused and I really hope someone can help out here. Others have asked similar questions but the answers have either been unrelated to indian users or they have been redirected to other threads with millions of posts, which is frankly overwhelming for a newcomer. I would really appreciate it if someone here could point me in the direction for the following questions:

1) Which version of android should I flash (2.3.4, 2.3.5 or 2.3.7)?

2) Which kernel is the most stable with least flaws (I3, I4 or I8)?

3) Based on the previous questions could someone link me to the files I would require (including the Indian CSC file), please don't link me to that monster thread here on xda that lists every single firmware ever released for the SGS2, I have seen it and am completely lost.

4) Could someone link me to the most straightforward tutorial to flash stock firmware using ODIN (remember I am a n00b)?

5) From my knowledge only the frankenstein non-wipe firmwares will allow you to flash without wiping the phone clean, so this stock flash that I am about to do will indeed factory reset my phone, am I right?

6) If for some reason I am not happy with the flash, how do I restore my phone to it's current state, which is:

2.3.3

Baseband: DDKE4

Kernel Version: XWKF3

Btw this is a great thread here on XDA and I will try my best to help out and contribute!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
All are just my advice,

1- 2.3.5. CM is 2.3.7, I've used it. I can't suggest it frankly.

2- KI3. Though I use Ninpho kernel.

3- Wipe KI3 package, http://www.multiupload.com/NJV6PR87Y3. Non wipe Frankenstein package, http://www.multiupload.com/7JTWS2E37R. Indian

Indian KF3 CSC, http://www.multiupload.com/8PSY68J8O3

4- Odin flash is the simplest I've seen. Put your device in Download Mode, Vol Down+Home+Power. Then Vol Up to continue. Make sure the USB cable is working on PC. As soon as you connect you will see a Yellow connection confirmation in Odin.

Just add the .tar file in PDA section, add the CSC in CSC section. That's it. Flash it. It will take around 3 minutes.

Before doing all those, turn off AV/IS if you have any. I can't open Odin when my NIS is on.

For more info read this,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

5- Nope. The firmwares without quoted as 'wipe' won't delete any data from your device. In face you don't have to do any Wipe as long as your are upgrading.

6- If you don't like it simply flash back KF3, same method you opted while flashing KI3.
