Thx for advice...

Btw I have a Samsung galaxy S2 LTE (Gt-i9210)

Can I use the rom with this model? do I need flash kernel for the room too? and do have have to get 2.6.3 TWRP and LP5 baseband ?

Im just a newbie in rooting now its my first root so any full guide plz.

I want to root coz I want a international OS on my phone...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inner_vision:
Yep, you can use these ROMs with your phone. Look back a page or 2, there is discussion on how to root. No need to flash custom kernel. Simply flash TWRP via Odin, and then flash your ROM of choice, then install LP4toLP.zip. The LP5 zip is a bit of work, so you may need to ask for help...unless it is already installed on your phone.

So i been checking out a few of the skyrocket roms and there are quite a few that work quite well

on our 9210 hand sets..

This is a rom i have currently installed

Liquid Smooth (4.3.1) with a kernel i flashed from the Pacman Rom thats available for our handset..

AoCP-i727-CP595 with Demonkernel or Dreamkernel on the 4.2 version of the rom..

OK. on further tests on this rom there are a few NETWORK issues (Only 2G which shows as 3G).. No LTE/4G

ThinkingBridge SB4 (4.2.2) with Demonkernel or Dreamkerenel

Dirty Unicorns (4.2.2) with Demonkernel or Dreamkernel

Paranoid Android (4.2.2) with Demonkernel or Dreamkernel

You need to remove the ascert portion of the updater-script so it doesn't fail on error 7 when flashing..

Hi. I'm pretty keen to get the "Stock ICS 4.0.4 I9210XXLPH_I9210TLALP2 (PreRooted/Secure)" ROM but link doesn't work.

Can someone help out?

Ok Ok. I see the IRC post. (embarrasing :o) I'll have to try when I get home.

Hi

I live in Australia and have the Gt i9210 running the Swedish version of android which is the 4.1 update

I want to root my phone to gain root access, but keep this rom in tact. Can somebody please help

For liquid smooth 4.3 I tried using the Pacman boot.img and it didn't work...is that what you meant by kernel?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris.cj72:
Yep, its working on my phone at the moment..

Do a complete wipe of everything.

Then flash the rom, gapps, and then kernel.

wipe the cache/dalvik and reboot..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inner_vision:
Do some searching if you're a little lost...but all you need to do is flash TWRP via odin and flash SuperSU via TWRP on your phone. All the resources or links to resources are in this forum
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inner_vision:
Finally found it!!!!

Damn thing was driving me crazy. I love kitkat, but google camera photosphere was not working...and knowing that one little part of my phone was not working was driving me mad. I may upload a flashable zip if people really need it, but grab the attachment if you like.

IT IS NOT AN FLASHABLE ZIP!!!!

place it in system/lib/hw and replace the file in there. I used adb push.

So for those of you who have not updated yet, this may be your fix. Definitely works for me

Edit: I'm running pac4.4, the file comes from the Swede 4.1.2 ROM, but I imagine it will work on anything in-between and possibly on 4.0.4, if anyone is still using that. Usual disclaimer about blowing your phone up, or just bricking it.

Also, I was having call quality issues but I think I have found the fix in ril files...though I'm not sure if this will be a problem for anyone else. let me know please.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eryklok:
seems like its pretty difficult to get a stable custom rom for this phone, i was wondering what custom roms are actually 100% stable and finished on this device working with 4g enable/disable, ive been looking for a rom thats stable and would improve my battery life for the past 3 days with no luck, any info or help would be appreciated.

edit: also looking for a simple way to root and put cwm or twrp on without bricking the device, is there any way of doing it without the use of odin? otherwise is there a guide/topic on how to do it with odin?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inner_vision:
Give me a day or 2. I think I may have stumbled on something. The ROM I am testing atm is a pac4.4 build, and everything works, including the 4g, 2G switch, and photosphere, which have both been issues. The switch is still a bit cumbersome...as in not really smooth, but it does work. I think I have fixed the in call quality problems that I was having, and the battery has increased exponentially (10hrs 75% left), so there may be the potential to get 40hrs out of it, which is heaps better then what I was getting. No random reboots.

There is not really a way to root without odin, well there may be, but honestly it is a whole lot more cumbersome.

Odin is really easy, and the method was mentioned only a few pages back I'm sure. Anyway, all you need to do is

>Download TWRP 2.7.0.0 to your computer

>Start Odin

>Turn off your phone

>Press the power + Volume down buttons together

>Plug phone into computer

>Press up volume to enter download mode

>Load TWRP under "PDA" in odin

>Begin

Really, that is all there is to it.

It is really hard to brick this phone, and odin makes flashing a recovery really easy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eryklok:
thanks for the quick reply, where do i find the right version or twrp for this phone because there isnt a seperate forum section for this model and did you have to edit any of pac-mans rom from the skyrocket forum or did it flash without problems (no soft keys loss, everything working) let me know when you find out more about the rom as i would be keen to try it too as long as there is no major issues (its my only phone i need working perfectly for work).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inner_vision:
No worries. You need to get on IRC to get the right ROMS/recoveries etc. server: irc.dream-irc.com channel:#TeamSkyFire, there is a how to on the IRC.

the pac-man rom that I am using is compiled for this phone, and not skyrocket, so no editing required, and that is the same for all roms on IRC. The ROM I am working on atm is currently compiling, so I need to see if it boots ok when it's done, otherwise it should be perfectly functioning, well there abouts. It is in beta so there are some things broken as things get fixed and changed etc.

This may sound like a stupid question but where can I actually download the CM rom for this phone and all of the other needed things like Gapps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snickers73:
It is stupid :D Try looking at the post directly above your one on the 17th of May. This gives you the IRC channel to get CM. Gapps are the standard ones for the CM build. A google search should give you those.

Feedback and request teamskyfire

Since Talustus was not online on IRC when posted ill post here. Hopefully he is in here still from time to time.

Been using the cm-11-20140527-UNOFFICIAL-i9210t for a while now and it works great. Things i found not working is mostly the same as the standard cm11. As camera 1080p etc..

Sometimes sound errors, especially connected with headset, solved by removing and reconnecting.

Also have had blackskreen from exiting mx player with back button, solved by modifying cdpcomp.maxlayer.

Some reboots while moving apps to sdcard, sometime it seems like turning the screen off and waking it again helps the process, might be placebo.

Some occational mayor slowdowns(unusual, often app installs and removes involved) solved by reboot.

Lastly the sd card write was not enabled by default but solved with app, however still dodgy with larger continuous writes over wifi to sdcard1 that might lock the sdcard(unable to write untill reboot), but been like that for me on every custom rom so far, otherwise very solid rom!

I found some interesting rom on xda for the skyrocket might be woth checking out as a developer as he seems to use some great rom/kernels modifikations and sources. If anyone could port these i think we have a winner http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2718129 seems like no one have any problems at all with this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inner_vision:
Tal is unlikely to work on this as he just builds a core cm11 and does his own kernel work, when he does work on kernels, and I probably won't either as I now have an S5. Building that would be pretty easy though, and if you have the bandwidth and the will to learn, you could maybe build it for yourself and others.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythic82:
If I'm not mistaken they are both building cm11 and are both using modified original Samsung kernel. I believe that is the reason teamskyfire is on the contributor list. Only difference is that the creator of that ROM managed some pretty good fixes for some of the cm11 and samsung kernel bugs. Thats why Tal probably more or less could merge those directly in to his own work. If i had the time i would definitely try building this. But as of now im just tipping and hoping someone else got that time and dedication.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inner_vision:
Both are building CM11 and both are using modified samsung kernel, as are all those building for the skyrocket, i9210 and any other samsung device, most just use a the cm source though. TeamSkyFire however is not on the contributor list. The thing is that Tal hasn't made a custom kernel for the i9210 for ages now (since cm10.2), so while the work would be easy to accomplish with what you have linked to, I wouldn't hold my breath on this happening from anyone else. I wanted pac-man bad enough to learn how to build it, seeing as no one else was, so if you find the time, you should take the step.

CM software

Not sure what has happened but could you please advise if this software is available as the links produce a "not Found" error?

I think the software for the i9210T is brilliant and have been using it for some time. However I would like to update another set I have managed to get for my wife and I no longer have the firmware pack...

[Nokia Lumia 900] slojko:
is there a 4G symbol next to the signal strength or does it say LTE? mine says 4G but they show LTE on the nokia website. i didnt upgrade my plan so i was wondering if i have LTE enabled or not.
[Nokia Lumia 900] provenflipper:
When the "4G" shows, you're connected to HSPA+. When LTE shows, you are in fact on the actual LTE network.
[Nokia Lumia 900] donniesd:
Really? You need a lte dataplan to have lte.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
When you upgraded, your provider should have offered the LTE Data Plan upgrade also.

One thing I've noticed is that I'm ALWAYS showing 4G now. I cannot wait to be able to look at the registry, so I can check it. I believe they set normal 3G to show 4G now. I've never gotten HSPA+ here in the house, and now it's ALWAYS on? hmmmm

Still love the phone, but that's a bit misleading...
[Nokia Lumia 900] slojko:
just looked at my plan on the AT&t website and i have a unlimited LTE plan, but i still dont see the LTE symbol

Closest LTE tower is 40 miles away :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] chivamex10:
Looks like Nokia's doing exactly what Apple did with the 4.1 update.

Even though you're most likely still using 3G speeds, the phone will display 4G.

Misleading. Anything under 6mbps is 3G.

The phone will only show LTE when you're in an LTE city. If you live in the bay area you're in luck. Anywhere else, not so much. (except if you live in the other major markets)

As far as the folks still grandfathered into the unlimited data plan, the good news is since your device is LTE your speeds will not be throttled until you hit 5GBs.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
As soon as we have registry access, I'll be changing it to show 3G when it's actually 3G. I don't like being deceived, especially when I'm trying to download something...
[Nokia Lumia 900] mistergreen:
I asked about this in the store and got flat out lied to by the representatives. Saying how we were in a 4G area now and my speeds will be improved. Did a bandwith test at home and still was only getting 3.5 down. Coverage map according to at&t is the same at my house and the corporate store 12 miles away.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Compupaq:
Yeah, I'm kinda irritated about this too. Even my microcell is being labeled as "4G". When I was at work yesterday, I tried a speed test on 4G and got .8 Mb down. You don't want to know what my upload speed was.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
did your upload speed require a stamp? :-D

I feel your pain, but why would you ever believe a sales rep about anything other than the amount charged to your credit card? They are salesmen. Next week it might be dishwashers, after that an underground sprinkler system. Though I feel you, you had that coming. :o
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Just as I suspected. They've changed the Registry to show 4G even when it's definately NOT 4G. I am only able to read the Registry, so am still stuck with it, but at least I can confirm they have tried to pull the wool over my eyes as I thought.
[Nokia Lumia 900] go0gle:
How are they getting away with that ? Is that legal ? It must be something to do with Windows Phone, both my symbian Nokias are showing 3.5G symbol for HSPA+, not 4G.

I just looked at this wiki page, I don't know how accurate it is, but it shows the following:

What is the difference between LTE and LTE Advanced ? According to this, even LTE is not 4G, its 3.9G.. and HSPA+ is 3.5G

Oh, here we go.. according to International Mobile Telecommunications this is what you need to market a device as a "4G" .. but I guess no one cares since most iPhones I see are showing 4G and they don't even have the radios for it. I guess this is the "loophole"

"On December 6, 2010, ITU-R recognized that these two technologies, as well as other beyond-3G technologies that do not fulfill the IMT-Advanced requirements, could nevertheless be considered "4G", provided they represent forerunners to IMT-Advanced compliant versions and "a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed"."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMT-Advanced#Requirements
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Actually, I have no problem with them labeling HSPA+ as 4G. That's ok with me. But they've marked UMTS as 4G. Now that seems downright dishonest... It's my guess that was done by AT&T, not Nokia/Microsoft, since it directly benefits them...
[Nokia Lumia 900] emjlr3:
yea this does blow

i look to be just on the outskirts of the Baltimore LTE signal for ATT, and would really like to know what sort of connection I actually have, not what they want to con me into thinking. thought I'd assume if I actually did have LTE, it would be saying so, at least hopefully.

it blows - there are three towers within 10 miles of my house, but none of them put off the LTE signal. they seem to have one every exit up and down I95 in the Baltimore/Metro area
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
Actually, the LTE symbol is set correctly. It will only show when you are actually connected to LTE. The only one I see set incorrectly is the UMTS. It's set to 4G instead of 3G. Unfortunately, UMTS is what I normally have at home. On rare occasion, I can get HSPA+. But it's just nice to know exactly what connection I have in case I'd like to download a larger file.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
I spoke to At&t about this. They told me the towers software is upgraded before the hardware. When that happens it will show 4G when you are getting 3G speeds. I may be wrong, but as I understand it 3G and 4G HSPA+ the difference is Fiber between towers instead of cable. Maybe someone can clarify for us if that's true.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SuperSport:
That's very possible, but the issue I am having is that they simply changed in the Registry to show UMTS as 4G. That's just dishonest, unless they have some magical way of making UMTS 4G?

I'm sorry I keep going on about this. I'll stop... ;) You won't normally see me complaining about this type of thing on these forums, I'm just a bit frustrated that it's been so blatently thrown in our faces. I still love the phone, and I actually don't mind the AT&T service I recieve, but they should TRY to not be dishonest as much as possible.

The complete Sidekick 4G rooting/flashing/ toolkit!

Did you brick your phone? Check out the One-click "Easy ODIN" (Java required)

Do you need to root, but don't know how? (Who am I to judge?)

Are you looking for the best ROM for the SK4G up to date? (GOV2)

Do you need the CWM files?

Do you need all the drivers? (needed for "Easy ODIN")

Do you need more speed? (Check out the V6 Supercharger!)

Do you need faster 4G, or more battery? (Check out the 4G Blaze modem!)

If any of these fit you, chances are this kit is perfect for you. If it fits all of your needs, I guess it's just a match made in heaven!

If you find mistakes, please report them so I can correct them and reupload the pack. (I will be making changes as time progresses, so be alert!)

I have given credit to everyone whom I have used their tools. (Check the READMES)

Finally, enjoy! And thanks from everyone at XDA, you're a judgeless community and you helped me get better with Android in general!
