Hello Xda forums,
I've read and used these forums to much success in rooting, flashing a custom ICS rom before, and fixing a soft-brick in the past.
Lately my SGS2 from Rogers hasn't been cooperating with Kies and I've tried every solution I could possible find in order to fix this to get the official ICS release from Rogers, to no avail.
I was wondering if it's possible just to flash the stock ROM of ICS from Sammobile as a workaround to upgrading through Kies,and would I have to wipe data and re-install stuff like CWM and the like or will those stay on my phone through the update?
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated
Thank You.
If you've read and used these forums as you claim then you should be well enough aware. There are device specific forums for questions like this. If you had a device without a forum then it would be a good idea to post here, but as there are specific forums for the SGS2 you would be far better off posting there.
Well since I am a new user I can't post replies in those forums, and directed me to post in General or Q&A forums so here I am.
I have read threads, but following instructions that have been clearly laid out for you is fairly easy and doesn't take much sense to do.
You can't post in the Developer forum - which is correct as this is NOT a development question. There are both General and Q&A forums within the SGS forum - that is where you should be posting.

Hey.
I'm new to posting here, however found it more than necessary to begin my journey to be a frequent poster to the forum .
Hello.
However it seems that to do this i would like to ask inside a developers forum how to solve an issue with my current mobile device.
Is there a way i can gain access? Ask a Mod?
Or do i just wait.
My device is unusable at this stage and help is really needed.
Thread im trying to post into; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&page=216
Thanks.
EDIT:
I now have access, i guess i am inpatient
you have to post 10 times in general fourms and be approved to post by mods in developer fourms. That keeps newbees from clogging up the important forms.
thanks i was wondering how to post there too,i need to ask some things about void rom there
Besides if your just asking questions you shouldn't be posting in development threads anyway.

I wish there was an easier way. I have legitimate posts to add to some Developer threads. I'm always trying new things for ROM's, since there's nothing else to do while I wait for the Prime and Vigor to be released...

Hello xda peeps,
This is my first post on the site so here's to hoping I don't break any rules .
I have recently upgraded to firmware 2.3.3 on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with above mentioned Kernel - XWJVN. I know there is a related post in the development section but I am yet to find a simplistic explanation of:
1. How I would firstly root the phone to access superuser rights.
2. What the most useful changes would be to make to my phone once it is rooted, considering I am still relatively noob.
3. Pretty much anything else I would need to know, ie. basic explanations of rooting, roms, flashing etc.
I apologise in advance if aforementioned have been answered to suit a newbie such as myself but I was not able to locate them anywhere on the site.
Any help would be apprecaited peeps.
Thanks
Aurnen
Unfortunately you're in the wrong section Post it in the i9000 section next time
For question1: search "CF-ROOT", there are much more information in the thread.
For question2&3: download "Root and me" from the market.
For your information, and in case that you have other device(s), almost every device have their own section in this forum.

Thank you kindly
kindly send me msg if you have something to test(new release, apps etc) for i9003 for free! its because i use it also, might as well help ....hehehhe
which lead me to wonder if we have bugtracker of some sort(yeah i read threads for i9003 custom roms and noticed the bugs are reported in those threads)
You had to create a NEW THREAD for this?
You could have just posted it at the ICS CM9 or ICS MIUI thread?!
i would if i was allowed to post in dev section ...

Don't be so mean, if there's a qna thread for ics point him to it, no need to tell him off. Its a general thread, I've seen people post threads called 'official off topic thread's with it stickied and 'general thread here!'. I don't know if there is a qna for ics, if I would I would point it to him.

an easy way to do it would be for OP to get the files he wants and start testing, while browsing the forum and commenting appropriately on things they have questions about, etc. since I've heard there's a 10 post minimum before posting in the dev section, I'm sure reading around will help give them an idea how the forum works, and help the apparently unavoidable NOOB FLAME when questions are asked inappropriately. that may be part of the reason for the posting limit, you know
so, cyborg5, why not get those files, install, and read around a bit while taking notes of things you find in testing, and when you reach 10 posts you'll be able to provide feedback in the appropriate place?
thanks.. ive installed this port for 2 weeks now..problems i found were already posted, so to be safe..i didnt repost..and i also found this(tester call in irc)

thanks anyway...!
This Rom looks so good I want to get it. I flashed many different roms on different devices before but JUST THIS ROM I have never used. Because I see people saying this is bricking their devices. Can someone please confirm that this is good to use? Thanks
Hi,
Anything can potentially harm our devices in this hobby. Anyone not willing to risk that needs to not root or do any other modifications to their device. Because everything we do has the possibility to cause severe issues. That's why there are warnings to flash at your own risk in just about every thread that involves flashing anything.
That all said, I frequent the N5 forum and have never heard such a thing about any rom... Including PA. Why not read the last several pages of the rom thread if you are concerned? Any common issues or bugs will be discussed.
Also, I see you are familiar with your device section and have already posted in it several times.
So, please check out the rom thread, read the opening post and the last several pages and decide if you want to try it.
And remember.... Flash at your own risk. Or don't. It's up to you. ?
