Hello all
I'm new at this forum and new at all the galaxy stuff
I have Samsung galaxy S II, 2.3.3
I want to put a good rom, I need to upgrade to 2.3.4?
or i can leave it 2.3.3 with a good rom?

Your very lucky to have one.
I've always believed before you flash a new ROM you should ask yourself "What is wrong with the ROM I have". If that answer to that is nothing, you should probably leave it alone (My 2 cents).

It's up to you. If you wish to get the most out of your phone (although it is already a beast of a device), then you could root it and try out new roms. Here's a suggestion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274 .
If you plan to install the custom ROM or root, I advice not to upgrade to 2.3.4, I was told Android 2.3.4 is hard to root.

That's a lie.
When I tried it, Gingerbreak does not work on 2.3.4 but that was when 2.3.4 was just released. Now, I have seen many successful rooting on 2.3.4, should have checked before I post.

Should I root my phone first before upgrading to 2.2 or upgrade first then root?
If you're talking about the Over The Air (OTA) update that was announced, you should only upgrade with that if you don't want to root or customize anymore. For the moment, that OTA will take away root if you have it and you won't be able to get it back (for now).
If you're talking about upgrading to 2.2 using one of the ROMs posted here on XDA, then you need to root your phone in order to have the option to flash one of those onto your Aria.

Thanks that was very helpful! I'm going to root first them upgrade with one of the 2.2 ROMs here. I didn't know an OTA 2.2 update was out for the Aria already.
Well, it is and it isn't... it's available for non-branded Arias. AT&T hasn't released their version of the 2.2 update for the Aria, but when they do it will break your root access if you install it. At least temporarily. There's really no reason to use the official updates unless you need to return your Aria for some reason. Otherwise, you'll have more features using the custom ROMs here.
With the 2.2 upgrade for the Aria, were there any advancements on Adobe Flash?

No since this is an HTC Sense ROM, it still uses HTC Flash Lite just like the original ROM did. The Aria processor is not currently supported by Adobe Flash 10.x.
ok so I got a question. I have an ATT aria can I get the HTC 2.2 rom on my phone and then root my phone?
No, at the moment you can't. If you install the HTC OTA update you will lose root and be unable to get it back until one of the devs figures it out again. There are, however, plenty of Froyo ROMs to choose from, so you really don't need the HTC update to get 2.2.
Edit: Nevermind, looks like I spoke too soon. See this thread:

Thanks I have the Liberated rom on my phone right now. I'm just looking for a 2.2 Froyo that has the full bluetooth dialer support.

What's the best ROM out there right now? Which one would you recommend?

Currently, the two Froyo (Android 2.2) contenders for the Aria are CyanogenMod 6.1 and Liberated FR008.
Cyanogen offers a more unedited Android product with access to all sorts of settings and customization options. Liberated is more of a stock HTC Sense version of Android. Both ROMs are pretty much the creation of XDA member Attn1 who spends a ton of time developing for the Aria and here on the boards answerings questions.
The cool thing is that once you have rooted your Aria and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery, you can make a Nandroid back-up which will save your current setup along with all of your settings so that you can freely install these ROMs knowing that you can always safely return to your back-up if you don't like it. It's very... liberating!
Hi, been reading here for ages, but n00b videos and such have stopped me joining, but now I feel confident enough to move up to a custom ROM with instructions I'm able to follow.
I have a Galaxy S currently running JVQ Europe, although I'm in Australia.
I'd like to use MilkyS MOD but have a question or two first.
Will this go on JVQ?
Lagfix: Am I right in assuming that if I haven't added this, it's not there?
You talk of two versions, Odin and CWN, would one be easier for me than the other?
Please be patient with an old man. I did manage to root this phone when I upgraded 2.2 with 2.3.4 JVP, then JVQ, and I managed to get them on OK, I also changed the region code to Europe ..... but that's the extent of my "knowledge".
As far as I know, although I rooted JVP, I haven't rooted JVQ, so my phone isn't rooted, does this mod root, or need rooting first?
Thanks, Billy
if you post in the galaxy s forum, im sure you will get an answer
Hello experts!
I would like to add up to the other related threads and ask for development (roms&root) for the Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 4/5.0 PMP. It's related to the SGS as you know, but even with android market a lot of apps, like supercurio's Voodoo control, or other PMP-relevant apps are unaccesible on this devices. They will get released soon to the US (hopefully) so I hope they'll become popular enough for developing.
Thanks!
You have to root these players with superoneclick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Thanks, I'll try it. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17236337 other workaround doesn't seem to work, someone else tried that.
Can Galaxy S WIFI be rooted? I am thinking of buying one if it has been successfully done.
yes, i've rooted mine with superoneclick
let's see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141893
SuperOneClick works for getting ROOT. Just make sure to have USB Debugging on and Kies not running.
Bump!
This device really needs the attention of developers, etc.
The U.S. version currently runs on 2.3.5 and can not be rooted for some reason.
It can also not be downgraded to the rootable 2.2 firmware for the international versions! This could be a great device for people who don't want a phone, but it needs to be rootable. Please help!

I have a US Version running 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD, and you can root it using "DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" Google it. It is also on this forum.

Yes, me too and you might want to give it the right name - it is the Samsung Galaxy Player 5 without the S (the S probably confuses some as there is no way to use it as a phone).
I have a custom 2.3 ROM on my international player and I rooted it fine with super one click.
Hello everyone,
I just had a quick question since I didn't find my answer on the Forums.
Is it possible to install stock Google ROM for HTC Raider? I want to update my phone to ICS, but I phone to keep my phone stock, I guess I want it to be like Galaxy Nexus with OTA capabilities
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

I'm afraid that unless there's an official release for the Raider then you can't have both. You obviously can't have a stock custom ROM (contradiction in terms). I think you're going to have to just accept a custom ROM and go down the CM9 route when that's available.
Thanks for the reply. I will wait for HTC to release the update. I hope it will be sometime in March.
Hi, I have a SGH-i727r (Not the Skyrocket, its the Canadian rogers variant) running on the stock 4.0.4 ROM from rogers, and i was thinking about rooting my phone recently, and I have found this method,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526
but I am not sure if it will work on 4.0.4 since it only says 2.3.5 and 2.3.6
some other people on the forum seems to claim it works, but I never saw a result posted for the version & model of my phone.
By the way, if this doesn't work, is there a method that would, or simply an easier method such as SuperOneClick?
Thanks in advance
The easiest way is probably to install the modified room
They are always rooted out
Thanks but can you go into detail on how it works?
Sorry, I am new here
