how to flash this rom.

I have rooted my s2 gt-i9100 with siyah having cwm and I want to install this ROM.. But it shows error.. I read somewhere that I won't install with cwm ad it is out dated.. I will need twrp to flash it.. But twrp is not available for gt-i9100.. Please tell me how to proceed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You don't necessarily need TWRP. You just need a "kitkat compatible" recovery. You can get TWRP however by flashing a custom kernel that has TWRP such as Apolo from HERE

Just flash this kernel from your recovery, then reboot into recovery again(not system). Then flash the rom and gapps(if you want) etc as the OP says

hello!

the rom works quite fine, but there's one problem: my gps isn't working any good. i got a fix once, but the signal strenght of the gps was very weak, and i soon lost my fix. if i try it now i rarely get satellites, and if i get one, then the signal is again very weak and my device loses it in an instant.

is there any known fix or is this even a known issue? are there workarounds? i've used the search-function on this thread and the "release-thread", but ain't found nothing helpful.

thanks for any replies!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martidroid:
Just try it ;) actually every kernel for lollipop should work, but as mentioned in your link, you should use the official one from Gustavo.

My GPS signal is also very weak, I use FasterGPS, too. Is that ROM/software oder hardware dependant?

For me too, but seems to be normal on Android.

I don't think there is a completely bugfree version. But this one is worth taking a look at ;)

Stability is a personal experience. It depends on your usage patterns. The best way it to try and decide for yourself.

All ROMs have bugs, including stock ROMs. The choice you have it to choose a ROM which bugs you don't notice (so for you it'll be bug-free) or a ROM with bugs that don't affect you.

I did it but the same problem maybe in other version they will solve it ??? Right.??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Do you mean cwm rather than philz?? You can use any of the three established recoveries, as long as they are compatible with kitkat/lollipop roms, otherwise you will face errors trying to flash the rom. The philz recovery is one of the recoveries you can use(the latest one 6.48.4); it is the one I use. When you are ready to flash the rom, just flash the .zip file in your current recovery, then reboot back into recovery to load the new one. Then you can backup your system etc, do a full wipe(factory reset, wipe cache,dalvik cache, and data, format system, then flash the new rom and gapps

Yes, you need the i9100 version such as the one in the link I provided

Question about "restorecon /efs" command

I have tried to flash a clean 25/5 and 26/5 build in my i9100 and unfortunately it cannot find my sim card.

I read previous posts that this can be solved by the command "restorecon /efs".

Here is the question, what does "restorecon" command really do? Will this command change anything on the /efs directory and the files/directories under /efs (e.g. change the file/dir content)? :rolleyes:

I am afraid of doing anything to the /efs folder. :eek:

Dear all,

once again to this issue. Maybe there is a possibility to change the settings manually ?

Some days ago I had to use the option "use automatically the network" and used SWISSCOM (Switzerland) because I was outside of my homenet (Vodafone, Germany). But now it isn't possible to change back to Vodafone (Germany). I always get the error message if I want to search for networks and manually set it.

It is really annoying. With roaming I have high costs. At the moment I cannot use the phone in that way I want.

Does anybody know a way to set another network manually ? Maybe by editing a file ?

Yesterday I tried version 5.1.1 from 26 May 2015 because I hoped it is solved in that version. But there I got the SIM card issue.

someone tried to steal my google account

I received a text message on my other phone (which is not galaxy s 2), it was a verification code from Google and it was in portuguese (I am French), and never requested that account verification.

When you forget your password and try to recover your account, Google gives you an option to get a verification code by Text message on your phone, but the message is in your language (i my case French, I tested).

I was just thinking, it would be weird for someone portuguese to enter my email address mistakenly (because it has my first name and last name in them and they sound french), and if someone would like to steal my account, then they couldn't do that by using the verification code text method... unless, they had complete control over my phone :)

I just could install latest rom from previous 0508 and looks fine so far. For those that have problems I'm going to tell you what I did:

- Shut down and remove SIM card

- The three wipes (Clean install)

- install latest rom (0526)

- install gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip

- reboot and choose fix root

After rebooting for the first time:

- introduce google user and password (and cyanogenmod one, but I think this is not important)

- open play store and install "terminal emulator by Jack Palevich" and "SuperSu"

- Open system configuration - about phone - click several times on "compilation number" in order to being able to access "developer options"

- In developer options activate root for apps and ADB

- open SuperSu and update binaries. After that, reboot (NO SIM card yet)

- open terminal - grand root access - execute:

su

restorecon /efs

- shut down the phone - put the SIM card - boot again

- Now SIM unlocks at first time and looks fine, but... play store doesn't open so I flash again gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip

After this, everything seems ok. Well, not everything because the play store is not reinstalling my apps. I'll try to find out what's wrong.
