not sure if i'm posting this in the correct area ... but anyways. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 portuguese vodafone and I have it unlocked and rooted.
Was thinking of upgrading the ROM to Sensation 4 but with my phone being unlocked will the flash work or just make my phone unusable??? can't really find an answer to this in the forum. If not possible witch the right Rom to be used and software necessary?
Original firmware ICS 4.0.4 - PDA I9100BULPG; CSCI9100TCLLP9.
Version Kernel:3.0.15.I9100XXLQ5-CL753921

Hi,
simple question I assume but I couldn't find an easy answer with Google:
In my family we have 2 Samsung Galaxy S2 phones, one is unbranded and the other is a locked one from Vodaphone.
On the unbranded one I installed the LiteningRom 3.2 and speedmod K19, all works perfectly and battery life is excellent.
Question is: can I also install this (or any other) custom rom on the Vodaphone branded Galaxy or will it brick the phone/make it unusable ?
Thanks in advance for your views.
Hi,
I'm fairly new to rooting, my galaxy S2 is locked to O2, I managed to root my device with no problems at all using ODIN. Just make sure u download the right rooting package for your firmware.
Yes you can! I've done it! My sg2 running a flawlessly rom now.

Thanks for the replies, I will give it a try.
Your phone being network locked, to the best of my knowledge, should have no effect whatsoever.
What you NEED to watch out for is whether or not your provider's network is GSM or CDMA. Don't try to flash a CDMA rom to a GSM phone, or vice versa.
And make sure to Nandroid Backup!(!!)
Hello! I have HTC One XL Asian version (with LTE 2600Mhz). Asian version still do not have 1.8x firmwares - so I still at 1.77. As we know, this firmware has some problems with multitasking. So i'd like to root and flash custom firmware to solve this problem. There is a question - wich firmware fit for my device? As far as I know, there is a huge difference between AT&T and Asian LTE modems. And because of this fact I can't flash firmware from At&T custom roms.
P.S. My English is really bad, so it's realy hard for me to search this information in English. Sorry.
I also have the Asia version originally with 1.77, i've flashed it with the Asia WWE 1.88 ROM, Telstra, CM9 and Modaco. All seem to work ok with it.
Thank you! Where you got 1.88 Asian ROM? What can you say about CleanROM? As far as I know if I flash this ROM I'll get some problems with modem firmware.
This was linked by someone else in another thread - cant remember where.

These are stock ROMs so you may still get the multitasking issue. Also you will need to superCID your phone to be able to run these RUU.
I cant comment on CleanROM as i've not installed it.
Hi guys, i just recently upgraded from a SGS 2 Skyrocket T-mobile rooted running KitKat 4.4.2
to a SGS 4 I337m running android 4.3 from the mexican company Telcel (I´m living in Mexico)
The s4 is now rooted and running CWM v6.0.4.7
I generally didn´t have any problems installing custom roms for the S2 since most were highly compatible with the model
but I´m having a HARD AND CONFUSING time deciding what roms are compatible with my mexican(telcel) s4 since on the descrpitions for
most roms they only mention compatability to models like (AT&T, Tmobile, Canadian and its variants)
I understand that the Canadian model is also I337m and At&T is I337so my question is
IF I install a rom designed for the Canadian model I337m, shouldn´t it also be compatible for my Mexican Telcel I337m???
if so, then whatever issue should arise in the future which I hope does not happen, Can i simply rely on the tutorials for the Canadian model or perhaps??
(obviously if I somehow softbrick this phone I´m not going to use canadian firmware but the one available for my region)
NOTE: I have looked all over to and read forums but I just can´t get a specific answer, please help!
and I dont want to test it all out on my own because the last thing I wanna do is Damage the phone THANKS!!

I can tell you that I have flashed the Canadian Rogers ROM I337MVLUFNC1 from Sammobile (flash instructions are included in Sammobile's webpage) and it works perfectly fine with Telcel's i337m. I have used it with Telcel's 4G network and Movistar's 3G network with no issues at all.
I should warn you that I have only used ROM I337MVLUFNC1 , there are two newer ROMs from Rogers that I have not tried. After installing Roger's ROM, you can continue to root as you did with your original Telcel ROM.
Cheers

If you flash a non verizon rom, you will have issues such as no WiFi and unable to send SMS/MMS and probably others. There are some system files specific to Verizon that must be in the ROM in order to work for Verizon. If you are looking for a rom with bloatware removed, there are plenty in the Verizon Android Development section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development. CleanRom is a good one to look at. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732877
Hi all,
I need to reflash my stock ROM (HTC One M9) after it got bricked. As usual, there are a number of stock ROMs available based on carrier. The phone was originally Rogers when bought, unlocked, then placed on the Virgin Mobile (Bell) network.
Should I flash the Rogers ROM or the Bell ROM?
