please refer to sgs2 thread.
So my phone is already rooted
Hey pnr2020...you better high-tail it on outta here!!! This particular forum reads..."No noobs!" and "no device-specific questions". As a fellow noob who has stumbled on his .... here near hamburg in the German droid forums, these guys mean business! Go watch one episode of Dexter! Be scared...be very scared! Meet you in Noobland where we belong!
There are really smart superusers here who, in a fit of either generosity or self-hate, troll the noob section, take lots of aspirin, and answer our classic noob questions like, "If my phone is already rooted, should i wait till fall to pull it out?"
sorry dont want to piss people off where do i post then

You will find a bunch of different roms for the Gene. Also, if you haven't done so yet, look at the stickies to learn how to unlock your device. You have to do it right, else you will brick the device. Do not flash a rom until you have unlocked it!!!!
Good luck!
thnx a lot for it
could someone please give me a step by step list on how to download a rom, put it on my phone, and flash it with ROM manager? plz i messed up once bricked my phone and had to buy a new phone (samsung vibrant) really dont wanna do it again please someone help me?
If you visit the Vibrant section there are tons of tutorials on how to install and such. There isn't a set "how to" as each rom is slightly different and reacts differently.
I am also working with a Vibrant, well two, one bricked one working gloriously in 2.2 . Do some reading in that section THEN post questions after you decide your own route. I may have a low post count but I have been a lurking member for quite some time. Read up and good luck!

4.How to install custom rom ( step by step for noobs)
5.Tricks and tips related to android

Why don't you go over to the FAQ thread? Lot of your questions are answered there.
You say you are a "noob". Then get yourself educated! The information is around, you need just to read it. Even the step by step guides are there. If you are too lazy to even read the stuff that is directly under your nose, then maybe you should get a standard low cost feature phone instead.
Of course you could also get the xda premium membership, where for only 5000$ a month you will get a personal 24/7 support team of experienced professionals taking care of your every wish.
dude i m not that much retarded
i already read lots of threads but there is no thread which tells about weather we can get back to old or not
yes if u cant help then who asked u to post here?
i requested it to people who want to help
plz help if u can or plz stay away
thanks
People might help you if you ask nicely and show that you did your homework. They might even do so happily. For your questions:
1. This question is asked about once a week. There are answers.
2. This question is asked about twice a week. There are answers.
3. This is linked in the guides that are stickied. Here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955719
Google is your friend too: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site:forum.xda-developers.com+"Nexus+S"+guide+ "back+to+stock"
4. There are stickied guides.
5. That depends on what you want to do, but I do remember seeing a seeing a thread about it. maybe in the android general section.
So one question from me: What did you read?
You show that you have no interest in getting answers for yourself, but expect others to take you by the hand.
thanks for helping
sry if was rude
i had read lots of thread and searched google lyk hell from 2-3 days i dint get perfect answers for what i wanted thats y i asked here ;(
Most of these questions can be found in the Nexus S forum. It also helps to give details on yer Nexus model and yer carrier when asking for help. Some tweaks only work on certain models. The infamous signal question, well maybe you have a model that allows you to hack it. I don't so I'm still looking. Have fun, and remember to say Please and Thank You. That helps alot when your trying to get help .

Hello everyone,
Can someone please point me to a stock 4.24.651.1 rom? I need to get my phone back to stock. I rooted with unrevoked. I can only find odex or deodex (sorry if wrong) versions. I would like the original unrroted version if it is out there. Please, I have searched and just cant find what I am looking for. Even just a point in the right direction would help as I just can figure this out!!
1st wrong section
2nd you didn't look to hard
3rd - here you go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
I tried that and followed that video already. I cant find the stock rom that is not rooted and some of the info I found there seemed out of date with a rom that was to old to use according to my phone. Im sorry if this is the wrong section. Im not sure shere to post. I thought this would be the appropriate section since I found a lot of ROM stuff here. I would be happy to post elsewhere if I knew the right place to post.
Maybe you were looking for this?

Keep in mind, if you are rooted, you will lose it. If you install any of the 4.2 ones you wont be able to root it again until they come up with one.
YES!!! Thank you, I believe that is what I need. I really appreciate you pointing me to that site. For some of us who dont get on the threads alot it can be a bit frustrating trying to find the right info. I appreciate your help and not slamming me for asking my question.
Nobody will "slam" you for asking questions but thy will for posting in the wrong section. But it was nice for Chamala to answer your question and let you know it was the wrong section.

Another mirror and a great resource: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic or just http://goo-inside.me if you want to browse all they have to offer.
Also this thread in these very forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
I don't bother fighting the wrong forums, not searching, etc anymore. It's not worth the effort and XDA mods don't really care anymore, especially with the EVO becoming a budget phone.
Hi guys , new to the forum so sorry if this is a noob question....
I have not rooted my galaxy but I have installed a beta version of ice cream sandwich , however I don't like it and would like to restore my phone to its original setting on gingerbread but not sure how to , I've got my original kernel which is XWKE2 but now stumped what to do next , I've searched through the site , but to be honest I don't know what I'm looking for...

I assume you've got the i9100 model.
The first thing you want to do, is get to the correct forum. General discussion isn't going to be much help for a model-specific question.
The thread you're looking for can be found here.
If you want more information, try searching google for 'samsung galaxy s2 how to return to stock'... or check the 'stickies' in the parent forum to the thread above (stickies = useful threads that have been bookmarked by mods which will always appear at the top of the list of threads in a forum).
The stickies are marked sticky, because they're the FAQs of the forums. I actually have better things to do than hold your hand and guide you through the process. Sorry if I sound like a ****, I really hope this helped, but you've gotta read and research the topic like the rest of us.
what you need to do is flash a stock from back on your device and optionally a rooting kernel ( if you want it rooted of course. if not you can just skip this part).
there's a dedicated thread for this although I'm unsure as to which sub forum it lies. look for 'carrier-branded firmware for odin' and pick the one for o2.
Wrong forum...
Have you tried doing a factory reset? Usually fixes things like this.
