Make sure you don't have the skyrocket. If u do then head over to their forums. If u have the i777 then just search for entropy512's gingerbread kernel. Find the tar file. Download it and flash with Odin. That will give u auto root and recovery. Don't use rom manager ever. Then manually download the rom and get it on ur phone. Follow the install instructions and ur set. Hope that helps. Have any more questions just google and I'm sure you'll find it:D:);)

guys i've been into android flashing for quite some time but i recently got my SGS2 it runs pretty well but after all it's ICS(i'm on the stock AT&T ROM) so i wanted to put jelly bean on this however i've read about this hard brick bug, is it safe to flash cm10? or do i have to make the tests first? does it only happen with certain kernels?

i really want to see how this runs with jelly bean but i can't afford to brick my phone any special considerations to take with this device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mikeflash:
I wouldn't flash cm10 if I were you. CM10 is still at experimental stages and since you are on official ROM, you don't seem to be the ROM enthusiast type, therefore I wouldn't recommend flashing it. You might flash it well, the problem is that it is not yet stable, and there must be tons of bugs. You should wait at least until nightlies start rolling.

However, if you just want to experiment JB and not using your phone as your main, then you can safely flash cm10 latest experimental, as long as you follow directions carefully, there's no risk involved (although, there's always a risk when flashing custom roms).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Fidelator:
yeah i saw the problems i think i can give it a try but the only thing keeping me in stock is said bug and th fact that i don't know if there's any precaution i should take with this device since it seems like you can hard brick just by flashing a faulty kernel or by formatting something while in recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mikeflash:
The faulty kernel you're referring to was samsung's cle5 kernel which was faulty, and only affected some devices, not all of them. CM10 uses its own custom kernel so its safe to flash it (whatever safe means for custom kernels).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KonnerTomlinson:
Is this "ton of bugs" part an assumption ? I'm using Task's AOKP JellyBean as my DD and its running smoooooth . Faster and better battery life. I would recommended AOKP JB over pure CM10 .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] killman2659:
I've had bad experience with JB so far. Many things won't get fixed anytime soon including the hw composer, messed up audio, memory leak, media scanner, the list goes on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mikeflash:
if you check my post, i said "there must be tons of bugs", and I said that because those are experimental builds. This is cm9 thread, so I was assuming he was talking about flashing cm10 and not aokp. I don't know about you, but to me "experimental" sounds like looking for trouble if you're looking to upgrade your main device. Especially if coming from stock ics.

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=i777

My personal suggestion would be to wait at least for cm10 nightlies. Or, you could try another ROM with JB flavor (like aokp).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Entropy's CM10 preview is essentially a nightly - just doesn't get auto-built every night. It is quite stable and usable as a daily driver, as long as the user is aware of it's documented issues. None of these are showstoppers for me - worked perfectly fine as a daily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcomana:
Guys in the Ported section we can find a hellraised rom based on Entropy's CM10 quite stable with a daily updates.

Couple questions.. Is CM9.1 the stable/final? That's what I'm on now. Second if not maybe I need to flash that because my phone acts a Lil confused sometimes. Custom ringtones don't work always for certain Ppl and a few other Lil things. If I was to do a wipe and start over would this get fixed? But most importantly how do you do a wipe and how do I not lose anything, even my texts and setup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vladm7:
9.1 is stable. maybe they will release 9.2 eventually - similar to how microsoft / apple releases service packs / updates to their OSes after release.

As to your question - I'm not a fan of tibu or cwm backup when a phone has issues and you need to start fresh. My approach would be to save SMS/Call logs using "SMS Backup & Restore" and "Call Logs Backup & Restore" from the market, save some other essential stuff like WIFi passwords (for some reason, Google would not always restore it), and then do a factory reset. This way it takes a bit longer time to get your phone back to your configuration, but imho ensures that no $hit is kept from the old setup.

good luck

If I use the phone for several days without reboot, at some point, GPS does not work. Then, I reboot the phone, and it works as normal. So basically, I need to reboot the phone every 3-4 days.

To quote entropy "if you want to be on the cutting edge, prepare to bleed" so its still try at your own risk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No. Use Odin/Heimdall to flash a safe kernel (any custom kernel built from source pretty much) first.

I've taken measures to reduce the risk from the initial flash of CM9/10, but still, it is safest to only wipe/flash from a known safe kernel.

Noob question here, but is there a stable release of CM9 for this phone? I don't really wanna deal with nightly builds.

Another question: where can I find a CM9-compatible kernel with CWM? The normal 5.0.2.3 megaupload link is fried.

Edit again: I think I figured it out. I used mobileODIN to flash the Siyah kernel. CM9.1 is up and running. Very happy.

Third question: Does CM9 include a kernel, or can I pick and choose which one I want? I'm new to this custom kernel/ROM stuff. Before this, all I had done is use Entropy's rooted stock package.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brobinson2102:
I've been using this approach (sms and call log backup) for some time (keeping a current Tibu for some app data and a nandroid for an emergency). Keeps the install clean and doesn't take too long to setup after a flash.

I recently noticed if when in Google account setup, if I uncheck and recheck the two questions about backup and restore, Google Play downloads my apps every time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mikeflash:
Try not to use ROM manager, it could damage your device. Instead use mobile Odin to flash a kernel that comes with custom recovery and then just flash cwm zip from recovery.

It's the safest way to go from stock to custom.

AbyssNote BCM4330 patch?

Sorry for quoting an old section of the thread, but I'm trying to track down a solution to this issue on my CM9 galaxys2.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22474

My 5GHz wifi also stopped working suddenly, and not worked since.

There's a record that the BCM4330 power saving may affect wifi functionality.

http://www.cultofmac.com/159611/expert-says-ipad-wi-fi-issues-may-be-caused-by-bad-power-management/

Apparently the Galaxy Note AbyssNote kernel was able to do something to the 4330 power save, though I'm unsure it's related to the disappearing 5GHz problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362424

In the first post, in Changelog 3.6, it says "BCM4330: Disable MAX power saving mode as disabled by Samsung".

I know I'm not an Android kernel developer, but I can't find any similar action in the galaxys2 development description.

Has the AbyssNote BCM4330 power save code been incorporated into the galaxys2 kernel? Should it be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
That AbyssNote stuff was fixing something *they broke*. As in, they changed it to *the default in Samsung kernels* - we didn't **** around with that feature.

5 GHz wifi issues seem related to the utter nightmare of region code handling, setting ccode=ALL in nvram_net.txt used to work, but not any longer.
