Flash AGAIN the Root Kernel of i9100G Model ... U SHud get CWM And Root ...

but no Custom Roms ... >.>
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ss2i9100g:
Note: Do it at your own risk . read all steps before start rooting

test on I9100g dzki1

1- download and install kies air and drivers for your pc

2- on your phone , go to settings >> application >> development >> untick the first option for usb debugging mode

3- connect your phone to the pc using usb port. open kies and make sure the phone is connected and you can see your data. if you have problem with the driver and/or kies doesn't connect to your phone . DON'T PROCEED to next step this may brick your phone. go google and find out how to resolve it.

4- disconnect the phone and close kies and shut it down from task manager if it still running in processes

5- download the right insecure kernel for your firmware from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101671

6- download odin to flash the insecure kernel (if it's your first time to flash , i would recommend learning the few options in Odin)

7- now use SuperOneClick to root your firmware (go to youtube for short tuts)

8- Cute yellow triangle shows at the boot screen, if it's ROOTED only :)

9- to remove it download your stock (original) firmware from the same thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1101671

thanks goes to Odia for the Kernels library

10-flash the original kernel with odin

all the best & regards

Hi saaheer

As if now you can only install RTL support in i9100g no official or custom arabic rom yet.

RTL support enable arabic writting and connect Arabic characters but other menus (GUI) still in English.

To do this, your phone should be rooted and you have to deodexe your rom.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBoxer:
use hellcats tool quick and easy takes less then 3mins to do ;)

**qouted from hellcats thread**

Removing the yellow triangle /!\

Getting rid of the yellow triangle in a few simple steps:

Flash this (or any other) custom kernel via Odin

Once your system is rooted run the Companion Tool ("HC-kTool")

Tap "Dump current kernel"

Tap "Reboot to Downloadmode"

When back in downloadmode, start Odin, connect the phone and flash any stock Samsung kernel (this will remove the yellow triangle as the phone is now running on an official kernel again)

when the phone rebooted after the Odin flash start up the Companion Tool again

Tap "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage"

Tap "Reboot"

That's it.

You are now running the custom kernel (again) but without having the yellow triangle on boot - also the custom bootlogo now works again (it doesn't when the triangle is shown).

Easy?

Since most of the cusom ROMs are meant for the I9100 version...does that mean that in the future,we might not be able to get ICS? I mean,what if Samsung just releases ICS for the I9100 and not the I9100G version too? I hope I'm just over thinking this...cuz I really would like ICS!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdandollah:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambar_hitman:
Dont worry. ICS will surely come to I9100G. In India, Samsung released 2.3.6 via KIES and OTA for I9100G, Galaxy S, Galaxy R, Galaxy Note etc but I9100 owners are still stuck on 2.3.3 LOL.

So, ICS will surely come to I9100G in countries where its available.

If you do a quick google search you'll find plenty of information on the differenced between i9100 and i9100G:

http://10division.com/samsung-galax...timate-comparison-guide-all-you-need-to-know/

It has the same processor on a different chipset, unlike the i9100T which is essentially the same as the i9100, so as a general rule software for the i9100 will be incompatible with the i9100G. It also has a different GPU, and the screen Bezel is silver rather than black.

I got an i9100G but managed to get it exchanged for a i9100 when I realised how little support there is for it in the modding community.

The original firmware depends on where the phone was shipped to from the factory I believe. You can use Odin on any galaxy s2, to check, just enable USB debugging, boot into download mode and see if Odin detects it (which it should). You may use any firmware that is intended for your device model.

That is how we enter recovery ;)

As for rooting or flashing a custom rom, its your choice. There are excellent guides on fantastic custom roms and kernels, but be aware that anything you do is on your own risk (but dont worry, experts are there to solve problems ;)).

What exactly makes YOU think that you'd be better off with custom roms? Is it just curiosity, or are you looking for features?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massimog91:
i read:

Rooting gives you extra permissions to do thing which wasn't allowed in your phone such as;

1. Removing bloatware

2. Set CPU speed

3. Play with system settings

also more keyboards,lockscreen,custom fonts,ad free app...

i was interested in custom rom and personalization even before buying the phone...basically it's a matter of both curiosity and features...afaik official fw fix one thing but break another major one..aren't custom roms better in this sense?don't they update quicker than stock roms?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
Alright. Since i own the non-g version of the s2, I am not familiar with how to root the g-version which you own. The g version has a different section for android development where you can find ways to root your phone and different custom roms for your device (stickies in that section may help you.) One advice, starting a new thread with "what is the best rom/kernel?" is against the XDA rules, so please refrain from that. You will need to search roms and kernels yourself and try them out to suit your needs.

Please note that you proceed on your own risk if you root your phone and/or flash a custom rom. (sort of warning the police gives when they say "whatever you say may be used as evidence against you" when they know that everyone knows that already).

Happy flashing and customizing. :)
