Hi,
I rooted my s2 with KG2 kernel and everything works fine.
I have the Bell version and all the ****ty applications installed.
What I want to do is to convert my s2 to the stock s2 from samsung.
I want to remove all the Bell application permanently even if I reset the phone.
Is it possible.
Thanks
It should be. You will need to dive into the GS2 forums and look for information relating to flashing a generic Samsung update onto an i9100M (if you have the Bell model). There's no difference between them except radio bands and branding, but it always pays to make doubly sure before trying anything.
If you can't find anything after a quick search, try posting your question in the GS2 Q&A section so you can get a more specialised response. Make sure to have a quick look first, though
Good luck!

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
Hi there,
Quick newbie question. the following thread ( whicb I cnnot yet post into) detials a way of 1-click rooting a 1.85 device. However, it mentions AT&T. Can someone please confirm this will work on the international version of the HTC One X as well as I have one on the Orange network in the Uk. I just wanted to make sure these instructions are not US handset specific.

Secondly, the page suggests I unlock the bootloader aftrewads. Is that 100% required as i have no plans on using custom roms, i just want to be able to use things like Titanium Backup in the full root mode.

It will work only on AT&T model as it depends on the AT&T update servers!
Ah, thank you. Good job I didnt give it a try then.
Is there a One-click for the international model? I couldn't see one.

You're in the wrong forum. The versions (Tegra 3 versus Snapdragon S4) have been organized into separate forums to avoid confusion. Lots of things here will brick your phone if install them on the wrong version.

I recently bought a Samsung Multi Media dock that I finally got to work reliably. I'm not impressed with the experience so I want to flash my phone over to a custom rom so I can tweak settings (and recover from it if I screw it up). I used to have a custom rom on my last phone but since I had to replace it when Cricket nuked their CDMA network I'm stuck with a stock Samsung Galaxy S4, with touchwiz- I hate touchwiz.
My brother kind of held my hand when my phone was first flashed over to CyanogenMod, a more accurate description was that he sabotaged it giving me little reason not to flash a custom image, so I'm still a bit new at this. I've gone threw the forums with the intent of reading up on weather I can and how I should go about flashing my phone. Problem is that I can't find anything that directly relates to the version of the firmware I have and I don't know if its compatible with any of the methods on the table.
I'm rightfully terrified of bricking my phone. I at least want some encouragement of reading about people with a success rate with an identical device before I go off and potentially brick my phone, if I do brick my phone I want it to be completely my fault because I plan on reading every guide and forum thread twice just to make sure I don't miss a nuance of the process.
Anyway,
i have a Galaxy S4, SGH-I337Z
Build #: KOT49H.i337zTUUBOA1
Android Ver- 4.4.2
security software ver: mdf v1.0 Rel 2
any combination of that information just points me to similar threads with no 100% (or even 50%) identical information. I've got three threads open in tabs rite now that say things about MD3 or MK2 firmware and I have no idea if I have those or not.
Anyway I'm hoping someone can find the info I'm to blind to find myself.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
Best answers you will receive in the dedicated forum for this device, see bellow, but first you need to register an aacount on XDA for full access.
Here's few discussions about your device:

Hi, sorry for posting a thread that's likely already been answered, I tried looking through the forums and I'm lost. I used to be really into the custom ROM scene and whatnot back in the galaxy S2, but haven't really been at it in a while.
So I bought my fancy new S6 Edge G295W8, and I'm looking at how I can go about safely rooting it. I checked CF-root but I didn't see my model number, it seems like samsung's adding in more and more model variations every generation. I'm also on a carrier that isn't mentioned specifically under the S6 forums, so that adds to the confusion. So what's a good and safe root to use? I'm still familiar with odin and flashing as pda and whatnot, so I won't need a tutorial on that, just a good starting point at a thread with a root that'll work for me.
And another minor question, any good ROM recommendations? How's the cyanogenmod support for my model? Are there any good clean roms with the edge features still intact?
Thanks in advance for your help, much appreciated.
bump?
I was about to start a new thread asking my question, but don't like to do that until I check to see if it's been answered already. The problem with this is I'm not even confident I know the correct terms to perform a valid search.
So, here are my questions: I'm planning to buy a used Samsung Galaxy S4 (AT&T) and I want to root it. Are there "versions" on this phone that are "rootable" and "non-rootable"? Which versions are which and what do I ask the seller to identify the version- the baseband version? Are there versions that themselves are not rootable, but can be easily upgraded/downgraded to another version that IS rootable?
I have the opportunity to buy an S4 that is on 4.4.2, running baseband I337UCUFNB1. If I buy this phone is it rootable?
Can anyone tell me if these questions have been answered already and if not, where should I post the above questions? As you can see, I have a lot of them.
I'm not necessarily interested in running custom ROMs, just want root and full control over bloatware, etc.
Thanks!
Any thoughts/advice on the best way to post these questions? I'd like someone more knowledgeable about this to give me some guidance.
