Hello.

I have been a member since like 6 months. I purchased my Samsung Galaxy SII from Oman in the Middle East. I had rooted it a while back by flashing an insecure kernel. Now I can't seem to update to ICS, I tried flashing the original firmware back but still no luck with the update.

I would really like some help as to how to update to ICS now. And before you call me a noob I have researched how to do it every way possible so just wanted to get some feedback on the best way possible?

On all the ICS threads there is no ICS firmware for my PDA. So I just wanted to clarify if it's safe to flash a firmware with a different PDA?

If so which one is the best which will result in the least bugs (if those are avoidable that is :P)? Or should I skip this and just flash a JellyBean firmware? If so which one?

Im sorry for all the questions or if they seem very noobish but I have been searching all the threads and can't find a proper answer. If someone could help me it will be greatly appreciated :D.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII ( I9100 )

PDA - I9100JPKJ2

PHONE - I9100XXKI4

CSC - I9100OJPKJ1

Thanks in advance.

And love the work you guys do here. Really awesome :).

Just follow the instruction.

Before flashing remove samsung kies only from PC only samsung driver remained.

ICS update

Hey I checked that link but there is no ICS firmware for my PDA ( JPKJ2 ).

So what I basically wanted to clarify is that if it's safe or me to flash a firmware with a different PDA. Like the one you showed in the second link? And the jellybean flashing works fine? The firmware is stable?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj_95nano:
Why don't you flash ICS 4.0.3 for United Arab Emirates?

Here's the link.

It'll not be advisable to flash the leaked JellyBean, as it isn't very stable. Sometimes the home Launcher force-closes in JB and the lockscreen hangs. So use ICS for now. And it doesn't matter which PDA version you have on your phone... those versions keep changing as new ROMs are out. But don't forget to backup your data before flashing!

Cheers!:good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkt8792:
Thanks a lot! Worked flawlessly :D.

Now to root it which method would be the best and easiest to follow? Or will any of them be fine?

Thanks :D.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr30ma:
Which rom you have flashed ICS/JB.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj_95nano:
1) Download View attachment 1565330 & View attachment 1565331.

2) Transfer them to your phone's external memory card.

3) Go into stock android recovery by holding "vol up + home + power" buttons. You will see android system recovery 3e.

4) Use volume down button and choose option -"apply update from external storage". After that choose recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip . It will flash and automatically go into Clockworkmod recovery.

5) In CWM recovery, choose install zip (internal or external sdcard - try and see in which one you find it) and then flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip .

6) After that reboot your phone and you will have root!

PS: You can press the "Thanks" button below my posts if I helped you! ;)

If you're on ICS, flash Siyah in .tar format directly through odin. Although there are more methods to root i find this every easy. Best of luck :good:

BTW, i am too from Oman, Muscat :cool:

I second that way, go to www.gokhanmoral.com and download either v5.0.1 or v4.1.5... the last one is said be better battery wise.

I had same question a week ago. However, i installed resurrection rom (ICS) via odin. The zip included pit file, kernel n rom. Just flash it n u will hav a clean ics. It is based on XXLPW n sice u wil flash it thru odin u dont hav to worry abt versions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krayndr:
Usually when there is a zip file its for flashing via recovery mode, not unpacking it and flashing with odin... stupidity is what bricks phones
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkt8792:
Oh ok. Cool I'll try one of these. I'm assuming the differences between them all are minor ones right?

Also one last question :P.

If I wanted to get Jellybean on my phone, do I have to first flash the Jellybean firmware on it or can I just flash one of the custom ROM's online?

Or do the custom ROM's need stock JB to be flashed on the phone first?

Thanks for all the help guys. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj_95nano:
Download one of them & flash ... you don't need any base for these.:cyclops:

First of all it was not a zip it was a .tar file with pit to be flashed thru odin
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saboture:
Last night once we got the JB update, I took the liberty of going to each one of my of my contacts facebook, saving a high res picture of them and then adding it to their contact profile in my phone from the SD card. I'm that guy that has to have good looking pictures for everyone when they call.

With ICS we got a bump in contact icon size. However when you switch roms and your contacts get sync'd to the new rom, their icons are blurry and low res like hell. This was supposedly fixed in Jellybean. So as I stated above I took the time (almost 3 hours actually) to update some 200 contacts.

I just want to let you guys know, don't waste your time, it's not fixed rofl. Googles contact sync feature still completely decimates high res pictures into 3x3 pixelated bogus.

That is all. -___-
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jauger:
All of mine are high res....just dont be in a hurry to sync everything or they will look like crap...Ive tested this with several installs...set up your google contacts when you first boot, nothing else...give the rom time to settle, especially let the sync icon stop..do your google play, whatever while you wait....then setup facebook with "existing contacts"...give it a bit to run and you should have high res contatcs..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saboture:
I did exactly that when I discovered they didn't sync in high resolution. I did a factory format and started over and they still synced in low res quality. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jauger:
Thats odd, cause Im sitting here looking at mine and there is a huge difference from ICS....Last night when I only set up Google then played around for awhile I noticed how great they looked...today when I reinstalled and rushed through the setup they looked horrible...reinstalled again and took my time and they look great again....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saboture:
I'm trying again. Just formatted factory. Signing all my stuff in now..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jauger:
Only Google....leave everything else alone for a bit...

This pic looked horrible on ICS....(sorry about the dog as a example :p )
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kusanagi-sama:
If you want proper hi-res contact photos, use a real JB ROM like CyanogenMod or an AOSP ROM. Contact photos will always be hi-res once you update the photo to a hi-res one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saboture:
How they look after being synced

How they look after re-adding the photo after sycing is 100% finished

See what I'm saying? It's doing butchering the contact icons. I'm not sure how you're getting them to sync properly but I've added the pics from the contact app and also at google.com/contacts @_@
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jauger:
Wow, not getting that on mine...sorry dude.....are you stuck on 3g only maybe?? I dunno...Ive got 4g and thats the only other thing I can think of, amount of data downloading...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saboture:
My phone is always on wifi when im at home. :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saboture:
I uploaded them through both my phone and google.com/contacts, which is where they're pulled from for syncing. You'd think high res icons at the source = high res icons at the destination but I'm not seeing it lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gameaddict8:
New contact photos look sexy. thanks htc!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fifasarajevo:
you guys should really get hax-sync

its an app that lets you use proper photos from FB and syncs them to the contacts, although google has talked about this before and there is a fix in the works but dont expect it until key lime pie

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saboture:
While Facebook sync is a great option for people who aren't picky about their contact icons, a lot of my friends have pictures of them kissing their girlfriends, or blowing out clouds of smoke or have profile pictures that aren't even them. I'm just confused to why google has said this is fixed, when it is not. I've done a factory wipe multiple times now and cannot get the high resolution pictures to stay high res once synced. Only way to do it is to manually set the picture phone side, and not google side.

If I back up my contacts through Titanium Back up with the high resolution icons, that theoretically would preserve everything, correct?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
If you're having issues just use Haxsync like mentioned above..I always used Haxsync but since upgrading to JB all of my photos are Hig Resolution already even after syncing(its even pulling high rez photos from my facebook contacts) So i've yet to re install Haxsync.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saboture:
FML. I feel like everyone has this feature working but me. hahaha :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fifasarajevo:
nope same here thats why i use hax sync, my contact photos would always be blurry as well so i had to use it but it sound like youve got a real conundrum there, hax sync was my only answer so im out :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
i feel ya man..But Haxsync is Boss so your all good man..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kanes_Inferno:
Odd, mine is fine and HQ too...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ronniemayo:
It is fixed. If you sync from facebook, go to your people app and just click a contact,back out,then go back in and it resizes automatically... For me at least.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgpaul:
saboture--ever figure this out?

Are you syncing with Contacts on a Google Apps account by any chance? This might having nothing to do with your device, but the account itself:

I just recently acquired an sg3 and there arent alot of ported roms for the T999v model and I read somewhere that I shouldnt use tmobile roms because the models vary. Has anyone had experiance flashing the T999v and which roms would u recommend. Im just looking for something that uses less of the cpu, a jellybean without the bulky useless stock apps would be wonderfull! thanks in advance for your time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Idyar:
We can use almost every tmobile rom. I personally use Frosty JB which is much like stock but leaner and has incredible battery life.

The thing you have to be careful about is baseband aka modem flashing. Using tmobile modem will definitely cause problems in my very limited testing.

In short yes we can use tmobile roms.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bgeorgi:
Thanks a lot! Another question I have is can I do a backup on my phone without rooting or without using cwm? And also is it possible to root it eventually after I flash a custom Rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Idyar:
I believe samsung offers ways an app for backing up witbout root. Personally all my devices are always rooted and have nevwr tried.

I believe kies has some kind of backup as well.

Getting root is very easy, before or after flashing. There are numerous guides and video guides on the forums. Personally i use cf auto root.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gkitab:
I would love to know one how come now ROMs do lower than 24dpi Nav bar. Would love 16 or low enough where can even see like I've seen a long time ago. So can use Nav bar ring without Nav bar actually there. This way isn't as much need for lmt launcher if maybe not needing it all. When this happen we would be able to use Nav ring at bottom as many are requesting that lmt get activate from bottom function.

This would created a neater look. One less app that's need. Would be cool as hell.

I tried to figure out how to make smaller than 24 DPI and failed. If someone with more knowledge could produce a smaller almost non existent almost like just one line of pixels at bottom black line (Nav bar) just enough to be able to swipe up and activate nav bar. Would be awesome.
