NOOB ALERT!!

So... Last night I decided to root my phone. Was the first time I've done anything like this and it was mainly to use Titanium Backup and freeze that bloody 'voice command' app as it's the only thing - for me - that really ruins the phone.

I then saw this thread and followed it step-by-step (as far as I know) to install the new ROM. I read somewhere that every ROM contains a kernel, so I didn't need to change the one I was using first (Siyah).

The download got stuck on 'data.bin' or something similar and, while I tried to move my laptop to let it 'get on with it', my phone disconnected and I basically fudged my phone! I have since managed to do a complete system wipe and re-flash the stock ROM. I've lost all my apps, but that's not really an issue seeing as how close I seemingly came to bricking my £500 handset!!

I'm just wondering why the download seemed to get stuck on the data file. Is there anything I should've done to combat this in terms of preparing my phone? Should I have done a full system restore before flashing it with ICS?

Also, I have - this morning - managed to re-root my phone and reinstalled Titanium Backup. I know my old apps must be somewhere on my SD card, but I've no clue how to restore them!

EDIT: Just found CWM in my apps drawer, and it has an option to restore my phone (I backed it up last night before this mess I made!). Do I need Kernel, System, Data and Cache all checked?
[Galaxy S II General] anishtrip:
hope they can release all the sources for developers
[Galaxy S II General] lethas:
How about stability? Is this last version or...
[Galaxy S II General] olite:
This is still in development... so it's pretty much guaranteed to have bugs still.

Personally I found these ROM's have a lot of random reboots, even the latest one is still unusable in my view:

XXLP2 (latest) Rebooted while trying to sign in to my Google account on first boot, then after the option was gone... this error was not isolated to just the Google account, I also had the same issue when adding my Samsung and Exchange accounts (both rebooted when trying to sign in the first time, Exchange worked the second time where Samsung account took 4 tries to work). Market is bungled beyond belief... it's best to just replace it (say with one from Aptoide) or errors will constantly occur (such as loss of connection, downloads failing etc). Also several reboots for seemingly no reason such as when not in use.

BUT... it's a nice preview of what's to come! :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] Amrael:
First, even if you would have finished the flash with odin, you wouldn't have booted on ICS.

ICS runs on 3.x linux kernels, siyah on 2.6.x ones, and those are for gingerbread.

I'm far to be a linux expert, but i remember that the 3.x kernels address some things completely differently than the 2.6.x ones.

Anyway, you stuck on data.bin was a bad flash, and that happens sometimes.

Seems you have made a nandroid backup, so Yes, if you want to revert to your old rom, before your try of LP2, restore everything.

Personnaly, when hoping between differents roms I do it this way :

-mount and storage in CWM : I format cache, data, and system

-advanced : I wipe dalvik cache

-Backup and restore : I fully restore my old rom

Just check beforehand where your nandroid backup is( before the format) , and DO NOT FORMAT EFS, EMMC NOR SDCARD. Ever.

Awesome Leak! Now hurry up and Build a SGS II rom! Can't Wait! I have not yet tried any of your roms but After seeing feedback of People, I think it would be EPIC! :D
[Galaxy S II General] ciprianruse:
since yesterday,i can not download anything from the site...when i click on download from megaupload,download king etc...it says that ,,unfortunately,this file is temporalily unavailable''...can someone plese tell me what's happening?
[Galaxy S II General] Sboulema:
Megaupload has been stopped by the authorities, Filesonic has stopped their service on their own :(
[Galaxy S II General] PNGC:
I'm actually having trouble with this one.

Installation went fine, though.

The thing is, on the homescreen, whenever I flip through the pages, it tends to lag quite a bit. I need to flip through the pages for a while for the lag to disappear. Then, if I stop using the phone for a short while (30 seconds, maybe), the lag returns.

This does

not

happen in the application drawer.

I've tried removing all the widgets and anything that might be pulling the phone down, but still nothing.

Also, the wallpaper doesn't follow when I flip a page immediately, it takes like 1 or 2 seconds to follow, and when it does, it also lags. This happens all the time, unlike the other lag I experience.

I'm using I9100XXLP2, non-rooted.
[Galaxy S II General] Pepski:
Aaah, okay. I was obviously quite misguided in my research! :D

So do I need to flash CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LP2-v5.2-CWM5 (with Odin?) first, then install the ROM?

I'll make a note of that last piece of advice!!

I'm not really that fussed as the previous ROM was the stock ROM, and I've regained that anyway.

I still can't find any way to reinstall my apps, though. I thought I had backed them up with Titanium, but when I go to restore it only shows the system apps.

I'm well out of my depth here. :p
[Galaxy S II General] dinamovistu:
Try to set a live wallpaper. Go to home screen. Then go back an set an image as wallpaper. In my case there is no lag after doing that.
[Galaxy S II General] MrKuenning:
Gallery

Does anyone know why the gallery in this LP2 rom is still like the GB gallery and not the new ICS gallery?

Example:

cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ICS-Magazine-Style-Interface.jpg

Also, I installed Go Launcher and the Android4 theme, and it runs smooth and looks quite nice. However, I cant seem to take a screenshot anymore. It used to be Power + Home.
[Galaxy S II General] Judaas:
just wait

Because it's only a leaked version, which is still buggy, just wait for an offical final version and install that, or get a custom rom then

;)
[Galaxy S II General] b_bhavu:
Use portrait wallpaper instead of landscape.
[Galaxy S II General] Sboulema:
Screenshot is now holding Volume Down + Power
[Galaxy S II General] MrKuenning:
I had been using the rooted LP2 kernel, and it worked 80% of the time but the radio would drop out forcing me to restart the phone to get data again.

So I downloaded this Kernel (KP9) and my phone acted horribly, the camera didnt work, the launcher screen was laggy, and then it shut off and gave me some upload error.

So i switched back to the LP2 kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] Scrapster:
Am I missing something here?..
[Galaxy S II General] Ambrosios:
no worries about it.......the signal bars issue is well know with all the ics builds....i am pretty sure one of our hard working developers is working on the issue.....

in regards to the modem problem.......i have the same problem as well.....you can just flash to KP8 kernel with your current XXLP2 rom(if you want....you can flash the KP8 modem as well...i think both are on the first few post of this thread).........and it should fix your data connection problem......KP8 modem and Kernel seems to be the most stable at the moment.....

i haven't try flashing a gingerbread modem to an ICS build....and can't really comment on that....
[Galaxy S II General] PNGC:
I can confirm this, the lag DOES go away with a live wallpaper. I would really like to be able to set a static wallpaper without lagging, though. I thought live wallpapers consumed more resources..am I missing something here?
[Galaxy S II General] b_bhavu:
Thanks

I flashed kp8 kernel and carrier branded gingerbread modem (dukj1) and so far working well. Data connection is better than before but still not stable. But I can live with it until Sammy gives us stable build.
[Galaxy S II General] MrKuenning:
Does any one have a workaround to fix the timezone issue? Mine is stuck on GMT 0.
[Galaxy S II General] LoTableT:
I've flashed now and works very very good :) good job
[Galaxy S II General] sanik90:
try KP9 kernel, its work better
[Galaxy S II General] bloodyshyt:
This ROM is pretty decent but overheats and freezes too often for it to be stable. Has anyone experienced periodical freezes when using opera mini? Really looking forward to the official release and source code.
[Galaxy S II General] Siam77:
.. problem with GPRS saved, I can not use the ICQ - lost communication, helps only restart..
[Galaxy S II General] dinamovistu:
After you set the LW, set a static one. I have no lag after this operation.
[Galaxy S II General] mossief1965:
Update frozen

I've been trying to install this but the installation is frozen on DATAFS for the last ten minutes. What should I do?

OK, sorted. Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:

This leak is cool. The most amazing thing is my cell reception is magnitudes better, but i REALLY need root to be able to restore my titanium backup. Anyone know if there is root for this yet?
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
@krazykat which version of swype did you install?
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
is sms working ok? browser smooth? calendar (gmail).may backup and experiment...
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
sms is fine as is gmail calendar. Browser IMO is not smooth
[Galaxy S II General] Protongti:
Battery seems to dry out quite quickly with KP8
[Galaxy S II General] natarau:
Any way to install the stock android 4 launcher over this?
[Galaxy S II General] phishfi:
NO! CF-Root for KP2 doesn't work on KP8 (learn from my mistakes)
[Galaxy S II General] jlieu:
I have several FCs, especially when using face unlock. Overall not really stable but enough for basic daily driver. Will wait for Official kies release. :)
[Galaxy S II General] penfold99:
Rooted

I am now rooted using KP8...here is how - it's long though!

I borrowed methods from DoomLord's runme.bat and may have had help from Mobile Odin...

Flash using Mobile Odin with EverRoot enabled - don't know if this is necessary, but this is what I did.

Download busybox, and su version 3.0.3.2

Enable USB Debugging on phone

Connect to PC

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm /system/app/Zinio.apk (or something else to make space in /system)

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/.

adb push su /data/local/tmp/.

dd if=busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox

chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox

/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin

dd if=su of=/system/bin/su

cd /system/bin

chown root.shell su

chmod 06755 su

rm /system/xbin/su

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

adb reboot
[Galaxy S II General] anupam_luv:
+1, can't sacrifice 20+ paid apps for this unrooted kernel....

Btw should we install KP2 unsecured kernel (which is available here) over it????
[Galaxy S II General] kedai:
Currently running kp8 with cf-root kp2.

working ok .. for now
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
tried flashing cf root from KP2, but unfortunately it only provides CWM and still no SU
[Galaxy S II General] phishfi:
best I can say would be to use CM9...
[Galaxy S II General] CallMewAY:
Someone please help me...

I am now running KP8 but can someone tell me why the graphic sucks?

The textfont are messed up and it is blinking red around the screen when I click anything.

Was on XXKH3 2.3.4 before and i just followed the guide here.

Any solutions?
[Galaxy S II General] gr8member:
Did you try a factory reset ? Try changing your launcher and test
[Galaxy S II General] iXypher:
sounds great but i guess i'll wait a while for a more stable release, XXKP2 almost boiled my phone due to overheating. gonna stick to XXKI4 until a more stable version is released.
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
I just got the installer from the beta site (swype beta) and installed the installer. Downloaded Swype Beta, installed, and choose it as the primary keyboard. =)

V. 3.26.92D.37604 (the one with dragon dictation)
[Galaxy S II General] superleeds27:
How you know?
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
LP6 modem has been posted in CM9 thread, must mean a new rom.

Edit: new CM9 build with new kernel based on XXLP6.
[Galaxy S II General] bambollero:
Does this rom correct the yellow tint screen problem, like the post-KG1 Gingerbread Roms?
[Galaxy S II General] krazykat:
Very true. Expecting the tweet from SamMobile any minute now.... right? LOL XD
[Galaxy S II General] ronj1986:
I hope we get it tonight, or tomorrow...this LP2 is starting bother me!!
[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
Getting sick of seeing this question..

[Galaxy S II General] stuclark:
I've just flashed the LP6 radio onto my LP6 installation. Will let you know how I get on
[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
Yellow tint isn't yellow triangle ;) I believe he's referring to the problem some users had experiencing yellow colouring on the left side of the screen in some ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
Not yellow triangle, yellow tint. :P
[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
The LP6 ROM is out?

I thought just the Kernel at this stage?

I too am downloading it (although damn wait times at slow at the moment from my link!), but will flash LP6 onto LP2 and test.
[Galaxy S II General] bambollero:
Indeed. But to answer my own question, since I actually went ahead and installed it myself:

It has the same effect as 2.3.4 roms, meaning that it does correct/minimise it.

Also the brightness setting seems much more powerful than before. My screen looks much brighter in 4.0.3 using the same setting.
[Galaxy S II General] deathst:
Question, Is anyone else experiencing issues with Facebook for Android or the Web mobile version of Facebook? Or is it just me..
[Galaxy S II General] dudesmith:
Disable the automatic date and time - adjust the right timezone - enable the automatic date and rime again.

Yes it's very common and very well reported and discussed in this thread...
[Galaxy S II General] cloneme:
I have KP8 installed on GS2 and have tried to go back to GB but stuffed up and almost bricked my phone. I had to reinstall KP8. I only have a backup of my data and apps. What is the best method to go back to GB? Is there a step by step for not so bright players?
[Galaxy S II General] nathsgames:
There are two ways:

1. Download a stock firmware

2. Load up with Odin from phone's Download Menu

or if you have KP8

1. Load up the CF-Root kernel

2. Go into recovery and reload your GB ROM making sure you do a full wipe

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] cloneme:
I sorted it out thanks to nathsgames and now have GB V2.3.5 with stock Kernel. I started Kies to get official update of V2.3.6 (i'm in Australia). I get message "your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". Also says I my current firmware version: I9100XXKI3/I9100XAKI3/I9100XXKI3/I9100XXKI3 (DBT) which is German. My GS2 came from the UK. How do I fix so I can upgrade to official firmware 2.3.6 via Kies in Australia? It is available.
[Galaxy S II General] b_bhavu:
Same happens to me yesterday while moving back from ICS to stock GB. Kies was showing KOR for my device even though my stock firmware is Vodafone Australia. I did factory reset for twice and now it shows correct. I think that's something to do with csc. Try factory reset.
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
All right guys, time to get ur flash engines ready... XXLP6 is gonna be released very soon.... so quit yapping about LP2 and wait for LP6...

EDIT: it will be released in 10 more minutes!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Scared27:
4 minutes ago now ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:
OP updated with LP6! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Faryaab:

[Galaxy S II General] rbacosta:
Will LP2 CF-Root work for LP6? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Quintinio:
One way to find out my friend ;)
[Galaxy S II General] jgalvez21:
haha beat me to it ? i dont wanna be without root :P
[Galaxy S II General] rbacosta:
Hahaha, right you are my friend! Backing up now then will flash!

Here we go!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Quintinio:
Haha! , imma stay on CM9 ! But I guess you'd better wait for a CF-LP6 root.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

Good luck bro!

Let me know if it worked for you.

Just in case you didn't, create a Nandroid backup, just to be sure!
[Galaxy S II General] rbacosta:
Nandroid backup done ... download mode now ... wish me luck! Exciting times people!
[Galaxy S II General] Pepski:
Really want to try this out, but nearly fudged my phone last time! :D

Am I right in thinking I just put my phone into download mode, follow the Odin-based instructions in the first post and that's it? Do I need to wipe all my system data again, and do I need to install a new kernel before/after/at-all?

These are my current details if it helps:

Android version: 2.3.4

Baseband version: I9100XXK17

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725root@DELL103 #2

does anybody know how to force gsm and disable hsdpa? cant find the menu entry :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
no option for Use 3G in Mobile Networks? I highly doubt it.
[Galaxy S II General] wanam:
Faaaaaaaaaaast as light :D.
[Galaxy S II General] laliluh87:
you missunderstood me:

there is only auto network mode as far as i can see. but i would like to disable hsdpa (because i got a very weak hsdpa signal strengh at my home)

i would like to know if theres a secred code or something like this to completly disable hsdpa (just want to use gsm) :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
So they removed the 3G toggle from GB in ICS? Very nice move(*ahem 4S *ahem).
[Galaxy S II General] rbacosta:
I think this firmware already comes with a new kernel. I just followed the ODIN instructions and flashing worked. Will give feedback ASAP.
[Galaxy S II General] Scared27:
Rom feels good. Better than LP1 (I skipped LP2 because it was released very soon after I flashed LP1)
[Galaxy S II General] adit17:
try *#301279#, choose change hspa revision and release r99 (hspa off)
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
i'm downloading as well.... will flash on the spot n root with CF-root LP2 before flashing back the stock LP6 kernel... will umm... report back what i find as soon as i can as always....
[Galaxy S II General] laliluh87:
tried it but still using weak 3G connection :(
[Galaxy S II General] rbacosta:
So far so good ... really smooth ... keyboard fast and responsive ... screen scrolling improved a lot.
[Galaxy S II General] freemini:
very good, I'm especially interested in data loss issues. Looking forward to your reports.
[Galaxy S II General] lamole492:
hi guys! ive installed this one so far it much more stable. H+ can be seen on status bar . i had some probles with facebook in earlier roms in this one i guess the touch is better. its 638 am overhere so im going to leave on the phone so i can test battery and all the other staff.
[Galaxy S II General] adit17:
perhaps it is because the 3G connection bug in ICS leak. I dunno if in new leak this bug sorted out as i still downloading now. :)
[Galaxy S II General] stuclark:
It seems there's generally no option to select 2G or 3G networks in this firmware
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
Ok great... there is no seperate kernel package in LP6 for rooting in this rom... damn it... would anyone kindly extract the stock LP6 kernel and post it up for us to do our rooting needs? thanks in advance for anyone who can help...

+ Background bug in homescreen switching seems to be gone

- No vibrate and ring options in settings

- Old settings icon used in launcher

- Still no contacts access from dialer (without pressing options)

- No ability to switch 2G / 3G networks

- Registering for software update fails

UPDATE: It seems the phone won't boot with the LP2 CF-Root kernel - I'm trying some options out now to get root

[Galaxy S II General] Pepski:
Cheers, mate! Will probably give this a go after work then. I tried to flash LP2 the other day but my phone wouldn't boot afterwards. Will I need to perform a system wipe immediately after flashing LP6 and then restore my apps with Titanium Backup when a root kernel is available?

And I'm assuming it might not be okay for daily use right now? :p
[Galaxy S II General] dee163:
Stock LP6 kernel

Can someone provide the stock LP6 kernel
[Galaxy S II General] stuclark:
Stock kernel is one page back - someone needs to make a CWM file to try to flash LP2 immediately followed by LP6 kernel; or wait until we get LP6 CF-Root kernel
[Galaxy S II General] lethas:
How about cf-root ? :D
[Galaxy S II General] Quintinio:
Maybe there is no HSPDA available at your current location. Sounds like your coverage is crap.

What modem are you using with this build..?

[Galaxy S II General] Jodelaplaya:
The signal bar issue is still here ?
[Galaxy S II General] ballist1x:
I know its only a leaked rom, but how do things like 'No Vibration' bugs/settings even make it into the build at all? Maybe if it was the FIRST ICS rom, but surely after so many tries how can you break/lose such features and not notice pretty instantly and then recompile it when fixed? Same with the signal bar, did they not notice that it might as well be a static JPG instead of something that moves? i mean its pretty obvious at first glance really.

Ive always wodered how these types of things happen. At work, if i make a stupid mistake that is patently obvious or kept making such a mistake then id expect a kick up the backside. Minimum...
