Hello, I am new to the forums and new to rooting and unlocking androids. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2X SGH-T989D From Koodo, thats rooted with clockwork 5.0 something, and android os 4.0.4. I was looking for a ROM for a newer os, something like 4.2 or 4.3. I tried installing a few off the internet and none of them work. If someone could please explain where to download, how how to install the need kernel and os or whatever would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

So im wanted to install a custom ICS rom to my phone (The Samsung galaxy s2 from bell) I want either Batista70 ICS ROM or Resurrection Remix ICS PRO Edition v1.0. Im new to this i just got this phone awhile ago i used to have a motorola atrix. anyway i rooted using this method
tinyurl.com/86vkwre
which is safe for my model but does not include clockwork mod. ive tryed to search tutorials on how to get these roms and clockwork mod but all i could find were from zedomax and he is using the GT-I9100 not the GT-I9100M, im wondering if I could get clockwork mod recovery using this method
tinyurl.com/7ncan9m
or if you know another way please let me know
also i need a site where i can get the roms for my phone the SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 GT-I9100M and how to install them
sorry for the huge question im just hoping someone could help
Do you still need help ?
I have the same phone that's why ! If yes, just link me back!
At the risk of ridicule, here goes; I just changed from DX running Liberty Rom to the latest Galaxy Nexus LTE from Verizon running the latest IC. I can't seem to find a custom rom compatible with this device. I've attempted "codename android" 1.5.5 and 1.6. to no avail. I like the APEX but don't think it's compatible with my OS. Looking for a good compatible rom further customize.
Thanks!
Well, after absolutely no help from the forum, I figured it out on my own. I guess most here forget that they too were noobs at one time. I'll try to be a little more helpful than what I've received this far.
Hello everyone, I'm new here so if this is in the wrong place forgive me. I am interested in getting a samsung galaxy s2( im with tmobile if that is important) and updating to the latest version of android. Is that something that is possible for someone who is not knowledgeable in hacking a phone to any degree? If needed, I suppose I can find someone who knows what they are about and pay for the OS update. I just want to know if it would be worth it to buy the galaxy s2 and even try to update the software. In short, I don't need the latest and greatest in terms of hardware, but I did want the latest android version. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Samsung galaxy s2 is worth the buy but unfortunately its stuck with the 4.1.2 jellybean update officially
However you can always get the latest android version using custom roms
I am runing the latest android 4.3.1 version using the cyanogenmod 10.2 custom rom without any problems(t mobile variant also has the latest cyanogenmod 10.2)
And the advantage of the custom roms are they are way better than stock roms that come with the phone and have unlimited tweaking options
You can always do it yourself cause it is so easy and you can find many tutorials here in the xda forums and you can also find someone who deals with the custom roms and get you with the latest update
Good day
I couldn't find a solution too specific to my phone, but was mostly just wondering, Does anyone know if the newest CF-auto-root is compatible with a Canadian SGH-I337M; Ver 4.4.2; Baseband VLUFNE1 on the MTS network? if so, where is a safe download source of the .tar?
And if not if there is anything that is compatible? Keep in mind im not looking to flash custom roms, i essentially want root to use rooted apps and all the devince freedom that comes with it. essentially a basic root. Also Ive previously rooted my S2 and an old motodroid so theres no need to review the rooting process ive got that down.
Thanks, any and all advice is appreciated!
Hi
I have just Rooted a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (SM-N9150, android version 4.4.4, baseband version N9150ZCU1ANL3) with CWR.
since the device's ROM is Chinese I need to install an English/international rooted custom/stock ROM.
I can't find anything fitting for the device on the internet and these forums. Could you please direct me to some roms installable through CWR for SM-N9150?

i'm in the same situation and still looking for custom rom.
I am too!
Anyone have a solution here? Mine came with a ton of adware preinstalled and many backdoors to add more, so even after I delete what I can, more are continually added. It's been frustrating -- I'd like to start fresh.
