Phone root/flash enquiry

Hi Guys,

I just flashed my rom to KH3 from a Telstra rom and just want to make sure I did the right thing. Sorry if this has been asked before or if its a dumb question as I am totally new to this.

I rooted my Telstra phone using instructions from

maxshifman.com/2011/07/31/how-to-root-your-telstra-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100t (Put www in front of address as I cannot link as it is my first post to check website)

Once that has done i followed instructions for VERY first time install

====================================

VERY First time install:

1. Download the latest release of "Exynos" ROM

2. Put the zip in your SD CARD

3. Put your phone to DOWNLOAD MODE

4. Install CWM flashing this kernel from ODIN

5. Attach the TAR in Odin as "PDA"

6. Enter RECOVERY

7. Flash the package

====================================

Was the above step necessary or could I have skipped straight to 3.5 > 5.3?

Im talking about the KERNEL bit.

After that step i then installed base system 3.5 using CWM > flashed 5.3 using CWM.

First go I got system loop with the samsung logo, reflashed everything from step 1 and it works fine now.

Can someone reply to this thread or PM as im a bit confused how Android OS works and I dont want to stuff my phone up if i missed a step.

Also now that my phone is rooted - i can pretty much install any OS or custom rom by using CWM or Odin depending on the method required?

I dont need to find a similiar stock kernel like what I did with my Telstra phone?

I can just flash to any rom with any kernel I have at the moment? This is the most confusing bit for me and would like someone to clarify please.

Thanks very much ! :)

Guys please I worked like 3 full days...here is no "visual" mod.

All mods to android system, some tweaks from Honeycomb and improves to battery life.

enjoy ￼

Which kernel did you use in 5.4 ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tudort:
Can you please tell me which kernel version the chef uses in 5.4?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] piteyyy:
SpeedMod K1-T39
[Galaxy S II Android Development] wucilin:
thats awesome
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hamst0r:
Updates of Exynos ( for 3.5 Base Edition ) dont wipe your system. If Vincenzo releases a new Base of his Customrom ( actual Version 3.5 ) there will be a wipe. And for all updates after the new Base will be no wipe :)

@ardabelati

you dont have to downgrade to kg6, flash base 3.5 and then update to 5.4

choose the speedmod kernel, fast and stable with good battery. UV Version isnt that great

@lionheartfkoz81

yeah, when you got CWM and root you can install all the custom roms from xda sgs 2 threads :)

YOu can flash every kernel on any firmware!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ardabelati:
@Hamst0r

THANK YOU for your reply.

I will give it try and see how I go.

Thanks again.

I am assuming that if I have to return my phone for warranty repair there will be a way to put everything back so it looks as if from factory.

Any confirmation will be much appreciated.

Cheers guys - YOU ROCK!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ardabelati:
Really need some help here... pls

I have installed the : CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KF2-v4.0-CWM4 using ODIN

I have downloaded the files :

Exynos3.5_base_system

Exynos5.3_SpeedMod

Exynos5.4

I put those three files on to my SD Card.

I rebooted the phone into recovery mode (in ClockWorkMod Recovery)

When I choose:

apply update from SD card it is just showing error:

-- Install from SDCard ...

Finding Update package...

Opening package...

E: Can't Open /SDcard/update.zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted

Which step am I missing?

I have tried clearing the Cache and data but still does not work. When I browse through the SD card -- I can not see the (three) zip files in the SD card.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maxwarp79:
Can I update from version 5.3 to 5.4 directly? The update wipes the phone?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] scary_master:
you can update directly to 5.4. you won't lose your data.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ardabelati:
please guys... any guidance to the right steps is much appreciated

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Fauert:
Hi , Don`t use : update.zip You must use :

Install ZIP FROM SDCARD

- CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD . Then all work ! ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lionheartfkoz81:
@Hamst0r

Thanks mate for your input - so really I do not need to worry about getting a the closest stock kernel to go to the next rom which I had to do to root the telstra rom?

Was that a once off I had to do and now I can flash any kernel version dosent matter which one im on?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ardabelati:
I have tried this but nothing is happening - I can not even see the 3 zip files I put in there.

There must be a step I am missing here.

Do I need to extract the Zip files?

Please help
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mardanpet:
leave the zip's as they are, did you put them on your phones SD, or the external SD card?

For ease of locating them, you should leave them on the root of the internal card, but you can still navigate the folders if you have them elsewhere.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] agrifoni:
I just had a BUG with this rom (V5.3 speedmod + CRT OFF): when I tried to wake the phone up (from standby), the screen remained black, but the phone was still working (I heard sounds, etc...).

I did a battery pull to solve the problem...

I'm the only one?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dainese01:
or one trick is to go to the mount menu is CWM. and mount usb storage, copy and paste file, and you're done.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
Hey vince, please edit the date! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ardabelati:
FOUND the problem!

*** IMPORTANT ***

Put the files in the "INTERNAL SDCARD"!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP

Happy to donate!

it's coming your way.

what about camera???

can we click images with the vol -/+ button???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mission26:
hey is it imp to put the file in the internet sd? why not phone memory?

just curious. cause for some reason when i put the file in sd card, it is not recognised and if i put it in the phone memory then it is found in the recovery mode.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
I'm sorry, I can't understand what you are saying. I'm not trying to "bash" or "flame" you. I really don't understand your question.

I THINK you are asking which folder to put the Exynos v5.3. If so, then you need to put it in the phone's SD memory, not your external SDcard. Does that make sense? So if you downloaded Vince's ROM from your phone, you can locate it in your Download folder. If you're moving from your computer to the phone, then pretty much anywhere is /sdcard. Not /sdcard/external_sd
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
I had this problem one time too. I simply just took out the battery, put it back in, reboot into recover, and force reboot.

Fixed the problem. And I am unable to repeat this issue even after reflashing.

Give it a try. If that doesn't solve your problem, then I'm not sure. :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sick Enough To Die:
can u include this script on your ROM, Pro vincenzo91???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bLack_Q:
After what I can read there, it would be awesome to have this in your ROM Vincenzo. The only problem would be that you've need to change the kernel afaik.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Souljaded:
whats new in 5.4 ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vodanhdaisu:
Is 5.4 based on 2.3.5 ?? :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Cey123:
The OC-Script + Tegrak Overclock compatible Kernel would be awesome, as I still want to use undervolting.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MariusWildfire:
no.

still android 2.3.4 :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DforDesign:
So any visible changes in 5.4? I dont see any...

I would like to see green progressbars, green overscroll and the rest which is is yellow/orange. What do you think guys? Also, new animations would be gread addition.

As we all know Samsung Galaxy S2 is not able to stream audio to mono bluetooth headsets. I am using app called BtMono that allowes me to listen to the music or voice guidance on my Plantronics Voyager 520.

I was wondering if there is any fix that could be implemented in next release of Exynos Rom to help us all overcome this Android issue?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] agrifoni:
Moreover, is it possible to flash CRT-OFF for 5.3 on 5.4?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Android Development] danaoz:
I've been a member for a yr or so and I don't post (second time, but have donated) and I thought is worth the mention, that was simple, by following your steps on the first page it was quick, maybe 15mins. I have noticed a great improvement in the general screen display?, no lags its very smooth and fast ROM great work. I was using Lite'ning V6.1 which only had a couple of small issues, but also a good Rom. One thing I have noticed is that coming from a nokia & HD2 CM7 is that Galaxy S2 standard and now using different Roms the blue-tooth doesn't auto connect to any blue-tooth devices if phone blue-tooth is turned off and back on. It will auto connect if blue-tooth is left on. Is there a way to set devices as authorised?? Again thanks heaps for your long and hard hrs on this Rom. Noice... Now just to get the courage to tinker with the xoom...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] thetap:
K, but my answer was different..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zabihjan:
looks cool, trying now coming from insanity 38 and lightening 6.1. lightening 6.1 is superb with very few small bugs. insanity is different fast rom but drains battery like hell and has issues with bluetooth.

hope this rom be perfect for me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ryban83:
Firstly, i am loving this Rom, its almost borderline perfect for me although i have noticed a couple of things:

Once i installed Speedmod rom, 5.3 or 5.4 it seems to disable CWM's ability to read my SD card. I have tested this several times now.

A minor thing, in the app pull down table, the area that displays the Operator name isnt the grey as pictured in your images but instead a circuit board effect, its a personal preference but is there a way of having it look more like your post images?

Other than that, appreciate all the work you've done!

Try this:

But do a Backup first, because this is for the 5.2 Version of Exynos. You can only try it. If is not working you can restore your backup.

EDIT: Have tryied it out and it works fine.

@vincenzo:

can you please fix this problem, screen below:

battery life was much better in 5.3 :/ fast draining in 5.4

ehm, why does BLN not work?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zabihjan:
U must have done something wrong my battery life is better than any other Roms I have used b4
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tudort:
Use galaga kernel or speedfrey for best battery life
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SCHMANKii:
I'm using the speedmod version and I think my battery life is worse, too.

I installed 3.5 base system and then 5.4, so the system should be clean but as I said, I think battery life was better with 5.3.

Doesn't matter, more than one day is not necessary and I reach this aim anyway.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] snake86:
This rom is fast, stable and the battery life is incredible!!! But i've a little problem: voice input on the keyboard.... why is disabled? and how i can restore this function... is very very important imho.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yyhd:
im right there with you guys on worse battery life. i noticed it right away from flashing 5.4, but i still tested it for 2-3 days.

2-3 days, worse battery life, so I flashed a new kernel. much better now, went 23 hours 51 minutes with fairly moderate/heavy usage before doing down to 0% battery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ardabelati:
Just a quick question, can we go back from 5.3 to 5.4 by just running the zip file again or do we need to run a certain apps before we do it?

Cheers guys
[Galaxy S II Android Development] patt2k:
I have an issue with the rom everytime I connect my phone to any computer it will not show my mass storage this rom is prerfect it's just this....

I remember the MTP notification showing up when I connected to computer , I even tried to connect to PS3 so something is not right "debbuging" is UNCHECKED.

Any fixes for this?

I hope I dont get ignored and someone has a fix this I did wipe and everything berfore flashing. Thank you guys!

EDIT: i was able to put it in usb from clockwork recovery so it must be a rom issue. What can I do?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lionheartfkoz81:

hi guys..i'm new here..just bought galaxy s2 few days ago..

i would like to flash this ROM but i still have a "virgin" phone to do so...

should i root my phone first or straight to flashing through ODIN ?? :confused:

thanks for your attention
[Galaxy S II Android Development] piteyyy:
First of all, choose your kernel version from here:

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

if you have the KF2 build, you choose KF2 CF-Root

then flash the kernel with odin using pda.

after that you habe cwm. put these 2 files of exynos to your internal phone memory. Boot into recovery (volum up + home + power button) and choose install from .zip. file.

first exynos 3.5 base system (let it boot!!!!) and then again into recovery and apply exynos 5.4. ready.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adit17:
wow...fast reply...!!

thanks mate, now i'm downloading kernel KH3 CF-root and will soon apply exynos extreme awesome...

Ah...theese kernels are killing me!why should i flash another kernel first if i want to flash your ROM? at the moment im on Batista ROM 1.2

If "batista rom" has cwm it is not necessary ;)

OMG i have the QWERTZ Layout on your ROM without losing Root and CWM!

And without installing an other kernel ;-)

Don't know exactly how i did it, maybe it was the kernel from the old rom i used(TK ROM 0.3.7), then i rebooted into Recovery, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache and battery stats, Installed your version 1.3, booted to homescreen, back to recovery, installed 1.4 update, booted and there it was!!!

So Awesome!!!

Thank you for this great rom! :)

Hi there,

I like the looks of your rom. The battery life of my phone has been terrible with every ROM I've tried so far, so I'm very curious to what this ROM might mean to it.

Anyways, I tried to set the default homescreen in Touchwiz (in the default.prop file), but it doesn't work. For starters, the file is not in /system, but in the root of the files / and it keeps resetting itself when I reboot. Also, creating a default.prop file in /system does not work either.
