keep also in mind that this guy is vp for uk and ireland... yet

i still stand my ground with opinion that the device that is so much anticipated will be launched before olympics and iphone and might be inderpendent and new line of products with some exclusive smooth and solid (ceramic metal) design and latest exynos 4core creating something like exclusive top shelf phones with all them low budget like galaxy ace 2, mid range like sgs 2,g note and the new device creating the bleeding edge expensive samsung phone :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksilver2:
Greetings!

I'm a noob.

I'm completely confused with upgrading to ICS, "Rooting" and installing custom ROMs.

I currently have Android 2.3.5 and some custom ROM installed (On power on a Yellow exclamation mark appears.. I think it's relevant)

In "about phone" it says the Kernel version is:

2.6.35.7-i9100xwki8-cl616395 root@dell149 #2

What I'd like to eventually have is a phone (perhaps rooted) with ICS and the ability to install custom ROMS.. How on earth do I get there? :confused:

Thanks in advance!

and pardon the Noobness..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Well the yellow exclamation mark is caused by an insecure kernel. Anyway, just download Chainfire's KI8 CF-Root, and flash it through Odin. Then you will have root and Clockworkmod Recovery, and then you can flash to your hearts desire.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankimm:
Doesnt the exclamation mark on the boot screen mean he is already rooted?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zouz0una:
From what I understand your phone is al ready rooted..(triangle in boot) If yes you can flash whatever rom you want already...

You can search here there are a lot of nice roms...

If you want just ics you can flash an original rom from here You can download wherever you see 4.0.3 version. Its ics!

On the other hand if you're not rooted themadba has already answered..

This is a very good guide.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Not always. I had an insecure kernel flashed FOR root but I didn't have root yet. All the OP has to do is flash the KI8 kernel and he will obtain root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roier75:
Go check out the video tutorials at galaxys2root.com. They'll walk you step by step through everything you need for rooting and installing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pahardie:
Yeah in the 'old days' you had to flash an unsecure stock kernel so an app like super one click could root. So its possible to have triangle but not root :)

Triangle away or a jig can clear the counter easy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksilver2:
Thank's all for your replies!

According to "root checker" (an app I downloaded) my phone is rooted.

Now, if i understand correctly in order to install a rom or a new version of an OS i need to place whatever installation files on my SD card and then "reboot into recovery" and choose one of the options there (falsh from card, run zip etc.)

I have Rom Manager installed, so that can reboot into recovery.. if that's what needs to be done, that is.

That about right? Is this called "flashing"?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Do not use Rom Manager & CWM on the same SGS2.

Choose one or the other. Yes, I realise Rom Manager premium has a few more bits of functionality over the non-paid version & CWM, but if you continue to have/use both on your phone you will have problems eventually.

Rom Manager tends to either break Recovery and/or cause bootloops.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksilver2:
Rom manager tells me I must install The CWM in order to install roms.

Which app should I use instead? Do I need some sort of app to actually install ICS?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Whenever you want to install a rom, boot into CWRecovery. I've always done it this way & have never had a problem. If you've rooted your phone & have CWM installed, that's all you'll ever need.

Apart from the one time I thought I'd buy Rom Manager premium from the Market. Broke my recovery & put me into bootloop. Fortunately for me I do a backup whenever I make changes to my setup (flash a new rom or kernel) so I fixed it easily.

As I said, use Rom Manager & CWM on the same phone at your own risk.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksilver2:
ok, I uninstalled the Rom manager.

I finally figured out the Volume UP + Home + Power which allows me to boot into recovery. (very noob, remember?..)

Is there an easy way to copy something like an ICS installation file to the SDcard and run that from the recovery menu? Or must I use one of them Odin or Kies for that?

If such an "installation file" exists, where does one find it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zouz0una:
If you want install one of the original firmwares I posted you previously, you need Odin.	Don't worry is very easy a way.. If you want other roms such as CM9 or resurrection you'll have to copy the files to sd and install them as you said from recovery..

Don't worry we were all noobs once.. These are easy procedures

And one more: you said something about kies.. You just need kits for it's divers.. You can't flash out install anything from kies.. And it's very important to close it(and every other procedure comes with it) when you are using Odin...

IMHO that is what he is implying . new line of devices, maybe highest/exclusive/vip shelf - very expensive, superb design. strong metal casing like in wave not that plastic crap from galaxy s series, latest tech specs latest gorilla and so on. and ofc as leaks shows galaxy series will still be developed but as a mid class of mobiles with crappier plastic casing and not so high tech spec and design.
[Galaxy S II General] Remeniz:
The Galaxy Note isn't the S3. And the Note is a bridge between the tablet and the smartphone.

I reckon this is a marketing ploy, bluff, to get Apple to introduce their new iPhone before Samsung drop the S3 bomb, if they decide to even call it the S3....

Ooops.... just gave away the strategy...

:o
[Galaxy S II General] BJ van Beethoven:
He's the VP of Samsung

so I wouldn't put a lot of weight behind what he has to say. It sounds like little more than a marketing ploy to boost the popularity of the Note by piggybacking of the stigma of the Galaxy S III. There will still be an S III, and it will still be badged as such.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] panyan:
and substance to this rumour? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mystic38:
FYI the Note is out, it came out after the S2, therefore it is a successor (in time). The headline is attributed to the author, not the interviewee.

Stanford did not say the Note was the S3, nor did he say an S3 was not coming, and he certainly did not say an S3 would be (more of) a premium line as you intimate..

Perhaps i should point out that the chap in question has a job to sell phones in the UK.. that job consists of

a) milking the S2, and

b) pushing the Note and

c) ignoring ANY phone that is not available for sale..

So why not lets read the article for what it is.. a sales pitch for the Note and nothing more.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
The short answer is yes. In theory you can use any icon on any app. The trick is putting it all together.

You have two options. You can either create a flashable theme our you could manually replace the icon file in the apk you are wanting to change it on.

The first takes time and know-how. The second requires more time and know-how but is probably easier.

But after looking at those icons I might be seeing if I can get permission to use then in a theme I've been playing around with. ;) No promises but if it works out I'll forward it on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingcaliyone:
So say if I want to change it in a theme..I just change them out an flash it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You download the zip then extract with Root Explorer or similar app. Then the show in Gallery. You can generally use them for homescreen icons and such with s launcher that allows you to edit icons. I actually grabbed the same ones a few days ago and I use Nova launcher so I added some with that

What's your previous rom?

If you flashed from modified rom something like Calk's tweaked rom, and kept data then it could happen. Only the way would be uninstalling the camera app and reinstall it (STOCK camera app is recommended). If you unzip tar file, you will find the camera.apk. Save the file into sdcard and uninstall existing one. Aftr that intall the camera apk or place it to the original place where it supposed to go. It would be system/app folder. Permission 644 and reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The data partition corruption issue was NOT caused by ODIN or ODIN OneClick. It was caused by wiping or restoring using an ICS-based custom recovery (it doesn't necessarily corrupt in a deterministic manner). Often people followed a wipe or restore which went wrong (data partition corruption) with an ODIN flash to go back to stock and found it hung on data.img. This is because the previous operation in custom recovery caused the corruption in the /data partition. From that point of corruption, any operation you do on the data partition using any tool, cwm, stock recovery, odin, odin oneclick, mobile odin, JTAG, etc. would all fail or hang so in your case ODIN was just the messenger.
