help me please

hi guys!! can someone help me install ICS on my rooted/flashed sgs2 hd LTE e120s?

here is the info of my phone:

model number: e120s

firmware version: 2.3.6

baseband version: SHV-E120K.FA02.1306.KT

Kernel version: 2.6.35.11-E120K.FA04.1705-CL866070

Build number: KoXDA.E120K_Teamleader_V1.0

thanks!! pls. PM me the link or complete tutorials on how to make this became ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] saywhatt:
Go to sammobile.com, create an account, download a stock ICS firmware for E120 and flash via odin :)
[Galaxy S II General] lovelac3:
mine is korean so will it also install korean apps and bloatwares? i dont want to have those bloatwares anymore, do we have a link for clean ICS for my samsung galaxy s2 E120S? btw im from philippines
[Galaxy S II General] saywhatt:
Yeah, it will have korean apps. You have to root your phone to get it uninstalled or you can open the zip file.. system > app and then delete the korean .apk's :)

Anyone here running with the latest nightly of cm10 by codeworx? Im currenlty on 9-13 nightly and I might say that I experience less bug except from the mem leak which is not new.. I reboot once or twice a day to avoid any freeze. My battery life last for about 18hours ++ with normal call and texting, surfing (wifi) and games(sometimes). Is there any other rom that you can suggest? My kernel is siyah 4.1.5.. Thanks.. Im from cavite..

I am supernexus rom user and we are currently waiting for build 3. Also check the cm10 latest nightly there is a huge changes especially with memory leak and hwcomposer.
[Galaxy S II General] Neil15:
I already download the latest nightly (9/21/2012) but I haven't check it.. Can you share the link of that ROM you are using I might take a look and try it. Thx
[Galaxy S II General] UnwiredDroid:
Just over to s2 development board and look for SuperNexus thread. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II General] Neil15:
Thanks! Downloading it! By rating it from 1-10 how will you rate Supernexus ROM? Hehe.. Just wanna ask.. Do you think your modem works anywhere here in the philippines? im on stock modem , i9100DXLPA. If its working great, where did you get your custom modem? Thanks again and sorry for asking again.
[Galaxy S II General] huwande1acruz:
Also try this one.. it has a vsync patch which is on a project butter but not fully "butter". Many said that it is placebo but its worth flashing.. download the latest rom and kernel. It has a modified kernel siyah.

I saw that post pero hesitant ako mag try.. i9100 ba ung s2 mo or i9100g? Ok naman ako sa 9-13 nightly ng cm10.. Then siyah 4.1.5 ang kernel na gamit ko.. Last nightly ko is 9-18 pero parang hndi sya ok.. so bumalik ako sa 13.. Smooth and wala akong nakikita na prob except nung one time nag OC ako 1.6, nag white screen then reboot pero bumalik sya sa 1.2ghz. Tingin ko mag stick na lang muna ako d2 sa cm10 nightly. So by asking me to try that ROM, does it mean yan ung ROM na gamit mo ngayon?

[Galaxy S II General] huwande1acruz:
I have the international version which is I9100. Its ok to stick to your rom right now if you dont have any complain. I just want to have a suggestion since you want to try another cm10 based rom. I have a dual boot cm9/10 but my primary was on cm9 because it is more stable than cm10(memory leaks thingy). Also please use english lang mate. :p about o'c thing which i think its useless because on 1.2ghz all apps/games were running smooth to me.

Hey, just read the post of codeworkz on sgs3 cm10. I think on g variant made uts full potential on cm10. ^^, i think it time for you to fully wipe system/data then flash cm10 to have a stable version.

Yeah your right about that one...I hope some G user can swing by here and help me which cm10 will I use...coz I still can't post a question on the G variant threads coz they are all in the development section..w/c required that I must have at least 10 post to make a post there...

and to make matter worst I just found out about the insane chip..w/c I have and I'm lucky enough that I didn't brick my phone when I 1st tried to root and flash my phone. now I'm afraid to go back to cm9 coz they say that 4.0.4 has the emmc bug :(...it's either I go GB or JB
[Galaxy S II General] huwande1acruz:
Try to read more sir. All the information is on the g variants section which is your first move to root your device. You know when i bought my device last july i just bricked it with the I9000 rom. Hahaha. Its just a 1 day old phone. Hahaha. But nevermind. :D . I think theres an info in the title of thread where you can find the non emmc bug. Dev excluded it so the user will not hesistant weather to flash it or not because of emmc bug which is lead to HARD BRICK.>.<

I have a question guys, we know that the common issue on cm10 is the mem leak.. And we solve that by rebooting.. Is that solution do any harm on our phone if we do that always, at least 3 times a day or maybe 4? If not then I wont bother doing that if I will free my ram through that option.. System panel and Task killer do nothing..
[Galaxy S II General] huwande1acruz:
As i read on cm10 discussion thread, there's nothing wrong on rebooting your phone at least once a day. Also it has nothing to do with your application. Its on the system i think. Try to go to the cm10 thread for more accurate info .

All JB-based ROM prior to the official release by Samsung are still considered as unstable/alpha/beta release. Until AOKP/AOSP devs get a hand on either the official release or its source code thereof (specifically for our phone), we can still expect bugs every now and then on these projects... sometimes they have workarounds and some that don't.

Heck, we even still get bugs on stable versions sometimes. :silly:

As for me, this is the reason I stuck with an ICS-based release (RR 2.7) vs. its JB-counterpart (RR 3.0.6).
[Galaxy S II General] UnwiredDroid:
Samsung is not providing drivers and documentation for the Exynos that is why the G variant powered by Texas Instrument is already complete because TI is giving them all the drivers they need.

I wonder why Sammy is being so stingy with exynos. It can't exactly be financial to force us to upgrade, cause if that were the case we would have locked bootloaders and all.
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
It might not be financial, but perhaps legal purposes... which if violated may turn into financial.
[Galaxy S II General] rey031:
Since you used the one from Samfirmware, you may have flashed one with the new bootloader that prevents you from using the usb jig to reset your custom kernel flash counter. See this post.

Since you flashed a Samsung firmware and not a custom ROM or kernel, I don't think your counter incremented (you don't have a yellow triangle at boot indicating you flashed unofficial kernel).

But if you do flash a rooted or custom kernel, maybe part of a custom rom, you won't be able to use the jig to reset your counter and a Samsung rep may see this when you return for warranty.

If you do have this predicament, you can flash the old bootloader by following instructions from Intratech's thread (I do recommend getting Samsung firmware from here):

You guys try the laptop external battery from cdr king, I'm using it to charge my sgs1 (i'll be having sgs2 this weekend).. I have the cdr king brand external laptop battery and it's capacity is 6600 mah so it can charge sgs2 for 3 times. It charges through usb and the output is fast. 2.5 hours charge on my sgs1. Hope it helps ur battery back up problem..
[Galaxy S II General] iamspikee:
Thanks for the feedback. congrats in advance on your new SGS2.

Since its 6600mah, how big is the cdr king charger? Can you discreetly put it inside your pants pocket while charging your phone?
[Galaxy S II General] ferdie67:
Mili charged fully from 0%, but its almost depleted after that. My experience is that if you surf or play games while charging, it won't fully charge.

guys have you tried BDO ATM/Debit card to register it on Play Store?
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Good question... I am curious about that, since their debit cards bear the MasterCard logo. I'm using BPI's My e-Prepaid which pretty much work like its BDO counterpart. I've been using that to purchase to Play Store apps and some other stuff (that's the one I used to buy my extended battery from HK).

My bet is it may work... just make sure it has "load" in it.

Speaking of which, today's the last day of sale @ the Play Store... any stuff you guys bought?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:

Nope, no issues at all... I suggest you try your BDO with your Google Wallet... see if it works.

On the apps sale, I was hoping for Apex Pro but it was Nova Prime who was included instead... still thinking of switching 'cause Apex has more features vs. Nova.

---------- Post added at 06:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

My e-Prepaid is actually a card that works like pretty much a debit card which has a MasterCard logo, meaning you can use it for online transactions and not just withdrawing cash or POS terminals. The BPI app is a different topic altogether, though the latest version works on both ICS and JB so no worries.

[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
Hi guys, I finally managed to root my SGS2 using the [safe] method by Rachmat3. So, I'm now going to try flashing a new ROM/kernel. What do you recommend (for beginners)? I mostly value good battery life and usability (my phone is still not reading my SIM - the reason I'm doing all this). Also, I need European languages capability, particularly German (Deutsch) and Spanish. I'm on Globe network.

Also, I'd like to confirm if I understood the custom flashing process correctly. Do I need to flash a ROM + kernel, separately? Or can I flash them at the same time through ODIN (putting the files in their respective sections)? Additionally, is it possible to flash only a ROM, that is, one complete with modem and kernel (just like the stock ROMs)?

Sorry for the many questions. I just don't want to mess up my phone, and I don't have that much time to read everything here. So, I'd greatly appreciate if someone could help me out. Thanks a lot in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Sir, I'm afraid IMHO answers to your question will differ from one to another. You will not see a single ROM and kernel out there that does not boast of good battery life, speed and usability but ultimately it will depend on your use, your apps and your daily activities with it. Also, there's a saying that no two phones are the same, ergo, what might be true for me may be otherwise to another member. It is really up to you to know what ROM, kernel, modem or a combination of 2 or 3 of them plus your usage plus the offered settings of your ROM (i.e. undervolting) will work out best for you.

AFAIK, most custom ROMs have multiple language options. Western languages, in particular, are pretty common so no worries on that.

ROMs typically are bundled with a kernel and modem according to the dev's preference, though there are growing number of ROMs out there that provides you several modem and kernel options during the installation process through the Aroma installer. Also, most, if not all, custom ROMs are installed either via the CWM app or the Recovery Mode. So Kies at this point is out of the picture. Just copy the ROM's zip file on your phone and you're ready to go. Oh, and don't forget your copy of Google apps 'cause some ROMs doesn't come along with it, and had to be installed separately. Don't worry, most forums have links where to get it.

Finally, my suggestion is to go slow on all this. You may want to try ROMs based on ICS first, since these are already stable versions. Since I understand you are new to this, stay away from JB-based ROMs for the meantime until you evolve into the adventurous type and can live with a few bugs and issues.

Good luck! :good:
[Galaxy S II General] new2androids:
Thanks for the timely response. I understand that there are loads of ROMs and kernels available, and that I'd have to personally find out what works for me best. I'm just trying to find something to begin with right now.

I'm on stock ICS 4.0.4, and I just found out that my phone is infected with the brickbug (argh). Is there a solution to that yet that you know of? I'm reading through the brickbug threads atm.

Thanks again!

BTW, I'm not a "sir". I'm a "queen". ;)

[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
Yikes! Sorry madam, no harm intended :angel:

Well like they say, the first step is always the hardest one! On a biased note, you may refer to my signature. I've also tried SuperNexus as well as Paranoid Android (Paranoid is JB-based, just a disclaimer) and they all seemed to work great. Other popular choices include RootBox, Sensation ROM and WanamLite.

On kernels, other popular ones include Dorimanx and CM9 (ICS only, CM10 is its JB counterpart).

On modems, Iother pop ones are XXLPS, BVLP7, DXLPA and the all-time favorite, the XXKH3.

guys quick question,

is the "H+" icon ROM or MODEM dependent?

i usually get "H+" connection when using 3G network. but from recent days, i am not seeing "H+" whenever im using data network in 3G.

thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
It's both... if the modem supports it but the ROM doesn't, it won't show up... same way vice versa.

On a side note, when using AOKP CM9/10 Mixer theme, H+ shows up as 4G. Nice theme by the way...
[Galaxy S II General] heitkrew:
thanks sir!

i was trying to flash the stock dxlp7 but still not seeing H+. i usually get it with this stock modem and xxlpx.

BTW im using rr3.8 JB. the first time i flashed it i get H+. but when i changed to another ROM and reverted to rr i can't seem to make it H+ work. :(

i'll try reflashing soon. and see if it will do any good.
[Galaxy S II General] francis820:
try rr 3.0.9, that's the updated version. i hear it's a lot better than the previous version... as for me, playing safe with the 2.7 version for the meantime since the official jellybean update is just around the corner (hopefully :D)
