[Q] Hi. Little issue with my Galaxy S II

I'm sorry about this post. Because I have less than 10 posts the forum won't let me post in a development forum so I have to post here.
I'm really new at this so please bear with me.
Earlier tonight I rooted my Galaxy S ii with SuperOneClick and installed clockwork and tried to put the cyanogen equivalent of ICS on it... Boot loop. So my friend told me if I flashed litening 6.1 on to it it would fix it.... The boot loop continues. I read the sticky on boot loops and got up to the point where it said to install a stock rom. I went looking for a stock rom and I can't find one with a letter code for canada. I'm scared that if I download the wrong stock rom for the wrong country that I a) won't be able to use my phone or b) everything will be in polish or something. Obviously I'm stuck in a loop so I can't do *#1234# to figure out what I need to do.
Also, I was looking at 3 file installs and in odin I see Bootloader, PDA, CSC and PHONE but nothing about a modem. I'm sorry if this is a silly question but I looked in the wiki and everywhere and I don't know which one of these fields I'm supposed to enter the modem file in. I have both Odin 1.85 and 4.03 on my computer and neither have anywhere that says "modem"
I feel so dumb... Sorry.
I have a GT-i9100M with Bell mobility.
EDIT: I managed to flash Litening 6.1 on to the phone... Can someone let me know of a good Ice Cream Sandwich lookalike?

Hello SGS4G XDA section! Newbie needs a lot of help!

Hey guys i`ve recently managed to get an SGS 4G Vibrant ( i believe that i am at right place to seek for help ) , i have the T-Mobile version of the phone. I need help switching to different/better ROM, at this moment the phone uses the stock one ( or i believe so ). I`ve been tru the threads and saw that there are a lot of stuff posted about what you need to do/have to flash a rom, but i just cant understand the right order of doing the things.
If its posible can someone really quick just post the steps for the guide for flashing a ROM to the phone. I have previous expiriance with android phone and i am aware how thing go, just as i said i cant get the right order of puting all the thing at one place.
For the phone i used to have was like, first i had to install an stocklike ROM which had recovery, but before that i had to get some kind of software for LG that alowes to flash the rom via download mode. So is the same here? It would be awesome if someone can link or atleast type all the software and other thing i need to have installed to make this work. For now what i have is the USB drivers for Samsung.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, that helped, not sure how i missed it. I am gonna write down what i did so far, so you could see if i messed up something.
I rooted the phone via SuperOneClick 2.2, then i installed the SGS Kernel Flasher, and then flashed the kernel, my current phone was running an 2.3.7 android, so i used the Basic with a Twist`s kernel ( i hope i did it right ), and now the phone rebooted and some different boot screen apiared with some Robotic Chick speeking some stuff, BUT for now the phone load to there, it doesnt wannt to load.
So did i messed up something, or ....

Can you go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Volume Down while pressing the power button and as soon as the SGS 4G splash appears leaving the power button ?
If so and you can see CWM Ver. 5.0... then kernel was successfully flashed.
You shouldn't be getting a bootloop.
What ROM do you want to flash ? If you want to flash GB then I suggest Barebone/Valhalla of some kind.
If you want ICS - Go to the CM 9.1 thread and follow the instructions. After that you may change to AOKP or MIUI or all the rest of the ICS ROMs you wanna try.

This section is not for the Vibrant.
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
I am sorry I do not know how to get you back to where you started before flashing the wrong ROM.
Good luck

Well, it wasnt a bootloop, it just loaded to some point and stoped. Gladly still got the download mode and brought it back to normal to how it was. Thats why i came here to ask, `couse there are too much similiar sgs`s and stuff for them here, i just got confused whats what. Got to start from scratch anyway, at least i didnt bricked it

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1 <---- That's a post by Lumin 30 with a guide on how to get from stock to custom GB. If you want to get to ICS then use CWM 5.0.x.x.

[Q] Need help to update Samsung Galaxy S III I9300

Hello folks,
i am new here, i have a problem with one of my friends mobile Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 Android v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), it so happened he dropped the mobile from his hand and from that moment, the device fails to load properly.
I tried to go to Recovery mode, by pressing Power key+DownVol key+Home key. The next screen was all fuzzy, it didn't show anything.
So i tried Power key+UpVol key(this time)+Home key, it showed a warning page, please see images to be more clear.
On continuing with the process, it went to Download mode.
I am little familiar with that process, since it is trying to update the device OS to a newer version of Android.
I did a little research and found out there was Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat available.
I can proceed to download that, but i want to know few things and i.e.,
The device is not Rooted.
CWR is not installed.
Whether it is safe to proceed with the update of Android Ice Cream Sandwich to Android Kit Kat.
I also found Galaxy S III can be updated to 4.3 (Jelly Bean), but i want your opinion which would be suitable for this device.
Thanks.
I do not want to brick my friends device, since i am getting paid to do this stuff. Hence i am requesting any kind of expert advice.
Thank you.
P.S: Any suggestion is welcommed and waiting for any reply impatiencly. Also if the moderator thinks this post must be in some other part of the forum, please do so. :fingers-crossed:

Hello again, i did a little research and found out this site, where it mentions in detail how to install ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.7 on Galaxy S3 GT-I9300
http://trueandroid.com/install-clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-4-7-on-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-how-to/
I did as mentioned in the tutorial and while opening the Odin, and checking the AP button, and selecting the non touch version of ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.7 ; i am getting this error. Please see the snapshot.
It also say, PIT partition not found, does anyone know how to figure out this problem.
Or
Is it a hardware issue, do i need to change the motherboard or give it to technician to fix it.

First off: Have you tried posting it under the correct category on this forum? its under galaxy core... you have a galaxy S 3
Second, you can update if it stock... custom recoveries and roms do void warranty. That is, if the kitkat is for his phone it is no problem. upgrading wrong rom to your phone will mess with it yes. Boot loops and stuff.
Then again, if it droped I would rather have sent it in for repairs if it was still under the warranty .

I find it quite difficult to find my way in this forum, just newbie here.
But thank you for your concern. My friend has taken the mobile , he thinks its better to repair it by technician.
Enough of head-ache for a device that can't be repaired through updating, the mobile was trashed. Couldn't be salvaged through
updating.

I understand.
On top of the page there are 2 places you can enter stuff, one says "type to find device" and the other for searching all the forums. Writing i9300 - and clicking on the line - will get you the I 9300 forums

[Completed] screen of THL 5000 not working even after flashing it with stock rom

Hello
I had a phone which I unfortunately downloaded malware , you can ask but you will see naiveity and mistakes I made.
Anyhow.... I had to flash my phone THL 5000 mkt6592 and was not sure how, even after google searching etc. I eventually downloaded the Latest (after the first version I thought was the latest it was the top one in the web page but the latest was the bottom :-/ ) worked... to an extant. I flashed and formatted and downloaded the ROM I got from the THLphoneshop.
First thing i did- I bricked my phone all well and good hopefully the virus/malware is gone.
1) I thought everything was great, the malware that installed a ROM without any text was no longer seen (positive to an extant).
2a) I then tried again and the phone worked with the imei not being valid without my sim card as I don't want to put it in yet till I fix it.
2b) The touchscreen does not work properly, I press the top to try to select a button in the centre ... I have read similar things but not sure what to do.
3) My phone is now looping in the reset, I have tried to boot in safe mode hoping this would be fixed, I will try again and flash again but not sure. I have tried various tutorials.
androidmtk website was where I got it from, .... what was ROM with my rom sorry for the Intended pun... what was wrong my rom or with what I did?
Is the Rom Rom? (Is the ROM wrong? intended pun again... are there rules for the number of bad jokes in messages? )
Are there other better ROMS I can use which are just as secure, and easy for a newbie like me to put on my phone?
Thanks in advance.
Harry
