You can go with SHOStock2 custom ROM blindly. I have used many custom kernals and finally satisfied with SHOStock2 ROM for the daily drivers. All you need to root your phone first, then flash this ROM, thats all. No need to root your phone again. Hope you gotcha now :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Some people go to the thread of the rom they want to flash and read the instructions there so they understand what they should do before flashing that rom, and also what is unique to that rom, so as to get a feel for whether they want to flash it or not. But I suppose instead of reading and searching u could just start a new thread and have us do yer leg work for you.

The last time I posted a question like that in the Cyanogen forums for my old Galaxy S ... I never got a response back. At xda the posters here are mostly very helpful and friendly.

Mostly.

@everyone else:

Thanks for all the responses! I really appreciate it. Sounds like I can just flash directly, which I will do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
So yer new to this phone. And u have a question u could have answered yourself rather than start a new thread. I can understand how u just wanted an answer, I know how that is. Job, kids... It can get overwhelming to search and spend hours reading. But. Just imagine everyone new to this phone posted a thread like this. It'd get pretty cluttered right? That's my point. :)no personal attack or meanness intended.

You are quite right that his first post took a personal shot at me with that part about my getting other people to do my work for me. This seemed like a personal slight. But his follow up email took a much different tone and I do understand the nature of his complaint.

Just wanted to say for anyone else who might be wondering that going from SHOstock to Cyanogen was a piece of cake. Quick, no problems at all.

Sad thing is ... SHOstock actually felt a lot more responsive. Still have to strip some bloat from Cyanogen but I might just restore back to SHOstock ...

Not sure if this is where this goes but this worked for me on 3 Nexus S 4G's today..

All of them on different accounts. One is flashed to MetroPCS and still get's Jellybean love!

Remember it will not work right away, just when your sick of doing it BAM..

One phone i tried for 2 hours and nothing..Then just before my friend left my house i tried once more and it worked..

If this does not work for you,well, at least i gave you something to do while you were bored!

But i swear it worked on 3 phones today!

================================================== =============================

Open the Settings application.

Select Apps.

Select the All drawer, and select Google Service Frameworks.

First, Force Stop the application, then Clear Data.

Now that the Google Service Frameworks are reset, you may check for an update, by selecting About Phone in Settings, and select System Update.

**The last update check should be garbled. Around 1969.**

--------------->If this did not work, try these steps several times. This is important, IT MAY TAKE SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE A RESULT.

Give a thanks if it works for you and reply back with results..

Enjoy

** Not sure about this breaking push notification on apps?

First I heard of this. I guess try at your own risk but my wife's Nexus S 4G seems to be working great after using this method.

## Maybe try to back up apps that use push notifications with Titanium Backup and reinstall after if u have any issues.

Just a thought not sure if that will help!
[Nexus S General] Stu Pidaso:
I thought this broke the push notification on apps that use push, no?
[Nexus S General] javahead76:
I decided that I could resolve the push if need be and went ahead and tried this again (did it previously on other updates). Tried about five times, walked away for about 15 minutes. Tried again and it worked. Update is downloading now.
[Nexus S General] TONYSALEM78:
Cool. Glad its working for people! Enjoy
[Nexus S General] Worm1996:
Thanks man it works!
[Nexus S General] GeeOwens:
So, I just switched to the NS4G from my ET4G because it's been having some hardware issues (Not really relevant for this, but figured I would introduce myself to the Nexus S community this way haha...)

This is what worked for me:

*Force Stop Google Services Framework

*Clear Data On Google Services Framework

*Wait about 5 minutes

*Checked for updates

I did it 1 time, and it worked for me. Not too sure if it'll work that way for everyone, but I believe it's def worth trying.
[Nexus S General] robogoflow:
didnt force stop at all but clear framework and checked now, didnt work.

Read your post, cleared data,

waited 5 mins.

checked and now update.

[Nexus S General] hp420:
ok, so this means only one thing could be possible...Sprint lied to us. they told us the update would start the 6th, but it didn't start until yesterday. I can't count how many posts I saw from people who tried this and it didn't work...now, miraculously, it starts working when we know it's out?!?!?!?!

Look at the facts, people!! Sprint lied to us and the update did not start the 6th like they said. if it had, this would have worked on sept 6th, and would not just magically start working on sept 10th!
[Nexus S General] Exit_Only:
This worked. I'm on jellybean now. It took over 26 attempts. No joke. But so worth it.
[Nexus S General] shrekdaklown:
Sprint didn't lie they said this is a two part roll out starting the 6th the galaxy nexus got its first then us look at the facts they still have a few days before some people will get it and they didn't even have to bring it out for our phone oh and download supersu and flash it thru recovery for root and air kernel r1 works with this

So question for the New Jelly Bean update... Teamviewer came out with there Quicksuppprt app. It says it only works on Stock firmware, Non modded. It works on Stock ICS but doesnt work on Stock JellyBean. Is any one else having this problem. Im not sure if its because i flashed Jellybean via ODIN yesterday since i didnt want to wait for the OTA to get pushed or is it just the fact that it doesnt work on JellyBean NS4g's yet

Also im rooted, forgot to try before i rooted my device :/

Can anyone who waited for the OTA to get pushed to there phone confirm or not if they are able to Download and install "TeamViewer QuickSupport" to there Jellybean NS4g device

Thanks and much appreciated
[Nexus S General] hp420:
are you kidding??

1. they never said it's a two-part update. they said updates would start the 6th...nothing about two parts. even the reps I spoke with said I should have had it already!! The funny thing is, not even two hours after I complained (and openly admitted to having looked on XDA for it and it wasn't out yet) people started getting the OTA. That's pretty coincidental, no?

2. they owed us an update. we are nexus owners. we get every update until the hardware can't run the firmware. If they don't like that, they can choose to stop selling the nexus line...there's the door. If it's a phone that's only on one carrier and the carrier doesn't update, google should step in and release the factory image immediately. Now don't take what I'm saying the wrong way. I don't mean they LEGALLY owe us an update. I mean since we own a development device, they would be pretty stupid to turn their backs on us....many of us have given google a percentage of the code used in final release versions of android. If they turn their backs on those people, they will be pretty screwed. They use quite a few features from roms that were here before google ever had the idea to do that. For example, swipe to clear notifications...that came from CM team. It sure as HELL wasn't google's baby, that's for sure!! That's why I say they owe us an update. Whether any one of us has personally contributed code or not, we have still contributed to the android project by testing the code that the developers here contributed to android.
[Nexus S General] shrekdaklown:
if they are releasing a rom for two phones it wont be a single wave the galaxy nexus owners got it first because they bought the newer phones and when we bought our nexus s's they never said they would update it forever we are lucky we got it they could have been like nope you have to be a galaxy nexus and honestly we are lucky because most companys would have made us upgrade to get it or make our own i was right beside you waiting for the update and as soon as i had the image files on here i odin'ed them to my phone most sprint reps have no idea whats going on with roms and such but i know i count myself lucky to have a phone like this and not be stuck like i was with my evo shift alot of companys owe us for bettering there product but how many actually pay

wifi

Tried this using 3g or 4g all day and nothing, then tried with wifi and if worked like a charm the 1st time i tried, dont know why it worked out this way, but to those for which this method is not working when connected to 3g or 4g try using this method while connected to wifi, it might just work as it did for me.
[Nexus S General] GrimReaper24:
Doing the checkin CMD does nothing but the same thing as going through the settings about phone and clicking system update..

Haven't tried this method yet.. May try soon..

Hopefully that OTA hits my way some time soon..
[Nexus S General] TONYSALEM78:
I forgot to add that I was on Wifi also...
[Nexus S General] Exit_Only:
Make sure your on wifi and you remove or delete Google services framework data in settings...apps. it took me over 26 times before it worked. I'm happily running stock jellybean :)
[Nexus S General] robogoflow:
Sprint stores had the file so people who had a replacement or a friend inside could of got the update on the 7th.

Sprint never said it was a two part update, but they said it would be a slow rollout for ns4g not gnex, over 8 days between which leaves you to believe the first half would be gnex, second half ns4g. Gonzo posted the files he got at the service center hours before anyone got the OTA link posted so the files were out since the 6th for both phones. SO my point is big deal it was only 4 days. Better than 4 months for ICS and deff better then whats going on over at verizon. Sprint told the truth. Not all reps know the facts. I worked for target and it doesnt mean i knew when we were getting new shipments of products. You should be mad that Sprint didnt explain the process but OTA 4 days later is better than no OTA.

Hopefully, you didnt quit your job or something like that to get the update on the 6th because thats your fault.

but cheer up, you have it now. Play around with the smoothness and yell out "I CANT BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!!"
[Nexus S General] hydra111:
I have been trying to get this to work the last couple of days with no success.

Would having an unlocked bootloader prevent me from getting the OTA? If so, how do I lock the bootloader only?
[Nexus S General] ccrosno:
Anyone know how to fix the push notification after doing this procedure?
[Nexus S General] Exit_Only:
ADB fastboot OEM Lock
[Nexus S General] robogoflow:
They state back the apps up with titanium backup then reinstall them.

Idk what apps use push but if you can tell me i factory restore when i got jellybean and reinstalled apps from market. Idk if that fixed it though.
[Nexus S General] ccrosno:
The only thing that is giving me issues is the stock email. I get Facebook notifications but my email needs to be manually run. It might not even be the push notification. I remember an earlier version of Android that gave me the same issues. Had to keep deleting the accounts and setting them up again. I'll keep working on it. Thx
[Nexus S General] mmmzq:
did work! thx!
[Nexus S General] hydra111:
I've attempted this but really have no idea what I'm doing. I don't even know how the bootloader became unlocked.

Back to my original question, will an unlocked bootloader prevent me from getting OTA's, I still haven't gotten the Jelly Bean upgrade.
[Nexus S General] bmwjnky:
I think it being unlocked will, but just as an FYI I wiped and went 100% stock/locked yesterday morning and still haven't gotten the OTA JB update. I'm afraid to try this forced download because I don't want any of my notifications to stop working.
[Nexus S General] overtheair:
I don't think it will prevent you from getting it, but it might prevent the installation from running

Same here. Still waiting and checking.
[Nexus S General] ymshulman:
I'm flashed to page plus... but I'm already rooted, and running a stock ICS ROM. I was like this when I flashed to page plus.

Do you know anything about if I might lose that being on page plus if I Odin back to stock?
[Nexus S General] bmwjnky:
After 3 days of not getting the OTA I unlocked my phone and flashed the files with ODIN.
[Nexus S General] snowmanwithahat:
lol the unix epoch?

Dec 31st, 1969

Anyway, worked for me after 2 tries. Thanks for the tip... downloading now!
[Nexus S General] GrimReaper24:
Well I can confirm this works.. I waited for 5 days trying the checkin and normal update method..

All you need to do is just clear the cache for the google framework then check for a update.. That is it.. Took me 4 trys and I got the update..

I have no idea why the OTA didn't pop up on it's own... You also don't need wifi on to do it.. Nor anything special..

Once I got everything updated I went ahead and did a factory reset just to have a clean system to play with..

[Galaxy S II Accessories] onlyzilvis:
i think it's better to buy first one because there is bigger capacity.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] PhilPassmore:
Except for the fact when you open the first one up, you will find a battery inside that is only about 1000 mAh. If you want to go down this route, get one shipped direct from HK and pay about 13UKP

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultra-Thi...280?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a78dde570

The genuine Samsung one gives me about 12 extra hours, the cheapo one from HK about 6.

Also, the cheap version has a very weak point on the top right hand corner that will almost certainly break. It won't stop the unit from being useable, but it is anoying. The Samsung part has a much more solid construction in this area.

Genuine ones can be had for a bit less too;

I was previously using TrickDroid and have now switched to viper a few days ago. I now find that the phone keeps on disconnecting from my bluetooth headset. I never had this problem with TrickDroid, but I am now having it happen frequently since switching. Any ideas what the problem is? Is it a problem with the headset, or a bug in the phone or the rom somewhere?
[HTC One S] glaudrem:
I'm having same problem with my built-in Seat Leon bluetooth handsfree. It connects, sync and if I start a call, bt connection will maintain all the conversation. But if I'm not talking, bluetooth will start connecting/disconnecting. I started having this problems when switched from a CM10 ROM to a Sense-Based ROM, but what scares me most is that I have same problem now that I relocked and returned to stock by 2.31 RUU. It seems to be something related to power saving. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks but what I would like is to stay in stock rom, because I'm going to pass the HOS to my first-android-user girlfriend (she hardly can tell difference between iPhone and HOS). It is still very strange because when I was on stock with 2.21 version, I updated to 2.31 by RUU and everything worked fine, and from this I switched to CM10 and everything worked fine.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony04x:
I read the touchpad shares the same exact chip set as the exhilarate. Will I be able to port say, cm9? I'm new to development and porting so any details and help would be appreciated and there is currently no dedicated form for this phone, yet :rolleyes:
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SGA-:
It sounds like you intend to port a Touchpad ROM to this phone? I wouldn't suggest doing that, as there are many phones that have the same chipset as the Touchpad, such as the T989. However, the thing with porting is that you are always using the Kernel from YOUR device, not the one you are porting from. This limitation means that you can only port from an existing level of development. Take for example, if you are currently on 2.3.3, you will be limited to porting CM7 ROM's.

I would not suggest flashing a Kernel from another device on your phone unless you are 100% sure it will work. Even with the same chipset, I think some things in the Kernel are executed differently in different devices.

Let me use the Touchpad as an example. I consider it a great device for playing around with because you have Moboot as a protective layer to ensure you do not brick anything. You can flash whatever Kernel you like and it should not brick, but will certainly not work! I flashed a Kernel from my T989 on to it, and all you get is a black screen when trying to boot. Same chipset, different Kernel execution... see my point?

If you were to do that with your phone you would mess up your boot partition and get a hard brick!

Edit: I seen that you found the Forum in Android General about pushing CWM to the phone, that's a good stepping stone!

If you wanted to be brave, I would try pushing CWM from the Blaze 4G, and then Flash one of those ROM's with your Kernel and Radio.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddavtian:
Hi all. I had the 16G version from BestBuy, returned and got 32G one from Frys. Now I have 2 problems that I didn't have before.

User's Digest (downloaded from market, nice guide from Samsung) opened quickly on 16G version. Now I only get a white screen.

And I could watch videos in MLB at Bat without a problem. Now video plays for 10 second and stops, on the same home network.

I have the same few apps that I had before, no differences and expected the same behavior. Both stock, no root. I haven't used the new one for other things so far, haven't seen other problems. Screen seems to be less responsive but this may be just my imagination.

Does anybody have a problem with the user guide or with videos? I cannot call this device detective but expected the same behavior.

Thanks in advance.
