I used to have a Korean SGS2 ( antenna wala )

And i was easily playing with it ... all the system , boot , kernels , roms files and even the pit files were matching and working great

Because all the hardware specs are exactly same :)

hey people my android is samsung s2 gt i9100 with 4.0.4 ..now i want to update it to 4.1.2..plz tell me if i need to root it..i fear if i root by my self i will brick it..:)
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
No need to root. Connect your phone to pc, and open Kies. It should tell you that there is a firmware update. Simply update.

In case KIES doesnt tell you that there is a firmware update, download 4.1.2 firmware and flash it via odin. No need for root.

You have to download and install the firmware through odin But I suggest first root and then flash. Rooting is quite ok but flashing the firmware other than your country can cause problems.

Help needed :(

AOA...just bought samsung galaxy s2 and wanted to root it.. i guess it is refurbished but i checked it thoroughly so it is the international s2 a.k.a GT-i9100

I flashed it using odin with siyah kernel, loaded CM10.1 and flashed it via CWM....

1.wipe data/factory reset

2.wipe cache

3.wipe dalvik cache

4.install cm10 and gapps

5.reboot

All was okay until Camera not working :( both front and back cam arent working so i di alot of research tried the last 5 siyaah kernels, tried to flash cm9 (ics) but no it still doesnt work... in some forums it was mentioned that it would work ig i revert back to stock firmware..

So my questions is please help me to either solve this camera issue preferably on JB or ICS then... OR please guide me to which exact file of sotck firmware should i download.... which works best with our networks... (its 500mb+ takes time :( )

Thanks in advance :laugh:

EDIT: not a noob, have experience flashing custom goodies on note, backflip, captivate, etc :D stuck on this though :(
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Well I think you first need to check if the camera module is still working to begin with rather than trying even more ROMs or kernels... Being a refurbished you never know...

I suggest you download any Europe 4.1.2 from samfirmware and flash via Odin... I read someone said a Pakistan 4.1.2 was pushed but was never able to confirm... But in the past I've always flashed Europe official ROMs with no problems...

Or instead of using a 4.1.2 you can also DL the pak 4.0.4 just for checking purposes... But yes you will need to download about 400mb per firmware... Tho that shouldnt take more than maxxxxxx 2 hours... It's a necessary evil I say, to make sure the phones hardware is OK...

i have checked my camera before rooting its allright.. and i dont think both the front a rear cam would suffer hardware damage at the same time

Can you please tell me how can i check the camera module??

and my situation is it shows a black screen when camera opens up, most people say camera is working despite the black screen (happened to me in a previous cellphone) but it isnt infact it freezes when i take a snap finally closing the app saying "gallery has closed"

BTW im downloading "GT-I9100_PAK_1_20111019142155.zip " its 2.3.5 but just want to see if my cam is working on stock...

best modem for pakistan

Aoa i was having problems with call quality low signals call drops low voice echos during calls i thought it is related to network telenor so i ported out to mobilink which has good signals and coverage as well but my problem persisted i was so frustrated i changed many modems but that didnt make big difference i found a tweaked modem NEKF2 so i flashed it and it seems to me call quality improved a lot.i want to know what is your experience with sgs2 call quality and which modem suited you.by the way today i flashed to latest JB for pakistan it has xxls8 modem i will give it 1-2 days to see how this modem works otherwise will go back to NEKF2.

The weight ... u will find VERY few android smart phones with such light weights ... our GS2 is only 116gms ... which to me is quite light as compared to GS3 and other new smart phones ...

The size ... what ive experianced is that our GS2's size and dimensions are the most ideal from any other smart phone ...

Durability ... ive used many and many smart phones ... but beleive me .. cudnt find any better phone with respect to durability ... and that is becoz of the light weight ... size and built of our GS2 ...

Plus with that .. a super amoled plus extra bright and sharp screen ... powerful dual core and a gig of ram does all the job for u

Well Salman first of all, I want to say its a very nice thread specially for Pakistanis to have common place for helping each other.

I got s2 recently, and i m very anxious to root it as soon as possible so i didn't read much... And simply find how to root s2 and flash my s2 with some insecure kernal as my current kernel was not in the list so i choose randomly. After flashing it via odin my phone unable to start struck on Samsung logo.. Need your support what i do next to make it out from this state.
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
I'm having difficulty understanding what exactly you did... But from what I do understand... You should NEVER do ANY modding on these phones without PROPERLY reading up on them first...

Secondly... If your stuck in a boot loop, then try to go into recovery... Home + Volume Up + Power... Then do a full wipe data / factory reset, then reboot...

If that doesn't work yet again then try a different kernel... Again I'm not really understanding what exactly you did which is causing this problem... Something you said wasn't listed so you randomly flashed something else... I don't know...

If all else fails... Then download a New Official Samsung Rom from Sammobile or from the xda official S2 firmware thread and flash it via ODIN... Again go to recovery and do a full wipe, and you should be running again...

Thanks salman.

Actually my mobile was on 3 network uk, from the guide which i m following said that found insecure kernal closest to the one installed in your mobile. I didn't find insecure kernal in his guid that matches already installed. So i picked random kernal from his guide link and flash it via odin. After flashing my mobile unable to load properly stuck in Samsung logo screen. When i try to goto stock recovery then again i m shocked that my recovery also washed out.

I tried sam latest firmware from his web and flash it via odin but still problem is same.. Only stock Recovery recovered but mobile still stuck on Samsung logo.

Hi Pakis,

I just got S2 I9100, but its not updated currently its 4.0.3.

I want to update it to latest official firmware JB, there are different region related firmware, is there specially for PAK?

I know that all the firmware will be same except the Base-band. I want to use a firmware that has base-band specially for PAK.

Thanks,

it will show download links for official gs2 4.1.2 , by the way you can upgrade through software update so why not that?

and battery life is awful as well as some people mentioned shutdown and reboots with low battery but some say the were on XWlS8 firmware not on this one XWLSD. But Awesome features are there like new videoplayer app

2: Paranoid android (3.98 AOSP based on CM10.2)

3 CM 10.2 (4.3 with minimal bugs)

You can have a good 4.1.2 rom Wanamlite resembling stock but better battery (rooted and deodexd)
