My GS2 AT&T

Hey guys can someone help me out here I read the help files etc. I don't know why IM having such a problem with this rooting thing.. Does anyone have the appropriate files to do this? and the detailed instructions? I have done a little searching and maybe IM looking in the wrong spot... I guess IM worried about bricking my new phone any ways I would like to root it too the latest ICS. is it stable system?
Thanks
use odin 1.85 and flash cwm 5.0.2.6, then flash an ics rom from dev section, i recommend mhx superlite. More info is available in the two stickies in the android development section,ics in and a howto flash

Go to the "all in one" thread and it has all the info to root properly... They have very detailed instructions.
Just dont do anything thats NOT in the skyrocket section and a trusted source..
Just make sure you do a backup with clockwork recovery mod before you start flashing things and if you brick your phone it takes 4 easy steps to get back..
ICS is pretty stable for not even being officially released yet but still not as stable as some gingerbread roms.

Yes, that is the correct device for these subforums. Just read the all-in-one thread and the threads that it links to -- no matter how experienced you are it's always a good idea to read the stickies, wikis, and how-to's for a new device.

[Q] Gingerbread to AOKP Jelly Bean re-booting at splash screen

Hello,
I haven't flashed since my first smart phone (HTC WING).. now Sensation 4g. So what I have done so far after much research:
S-off
CWM installed
Backup of stock made (and used..)
No firmware update (probable issue)
I have read and im inferring from the posts that since im on Gingerbread I need to do a firmware update to ICS. I would like to know however to use the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM is there yet another Firmware update I will need to install or is it not necessary at all.
I am assuming its firmware most likely but id rather not assume.
I get stuck at the splash screen advises me to pick a language and reboots constantly.
Thanks in advance.
Just bumping to ensure it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
Its a kernel you'll need to run it ... go to the ROM forum your trying to install and ask or look youll find it ...

Well there goes that... I thought maybe someone on XDA would have had something, saw this and was like yes!!! I didn't waste my money on a Walmart purchase of a cheapo tablet. Well yeah.... *SIGH* All because the thank you button wasn't pushed enough? Maybe there are not that many people (owners of this tablet on XDA) yet to push the button?

Vampirefo, I really wish you had not killed this one. Yes, people are sh---ts. But not all you know. I for one appreciate all the work you have done on this tablet. Cheap with a lot of upside potential. And if you really brick it, you are only out $78! Any chance of your reconsidering re-posting the links and taking up the cause again?
this guy was a baby if he thinks he needs a pat on the back for prepping a rom...what a dickweed. shame on him for needing some confidence
The ARES should live!!!!
I for one think that YES there are MANY and MANY an asshole on the internet, But this Tablet does have some great potential., And now there is also the ARES 8L with has the EXACT same hardware as the ARES 8 but also has support for 4G LTE Data, through Verizon, I think,.... ANyway I would love to see more done with this Tablet., I myself have gotten into a Jam., I rooted my ARES removed the encryption and installed TWRP recovery., But I was playing around later, actually using an official NextBookusa.com flashing tool, (i know stupid idea) and I formatted the System partition., So now all I can do with the Tab is boot into TWRP or boot into the Bootloader... It sucks., I need a TWRP backup that I could download and place on my SD card., But it seems that there was a lot of excitement (or at least activity) about this tablet for a while and then it all just died away., I personally would LOVE to see it come back.,
-Eric
P.S. If anybody out there would be willing to upload a copy of their TWRP backup from an ARES 8 that would be awesome!! Please just PM me...
P.P.S If I knew how to make my own custom mod I would... My lack of knowledge in that area is almost criminal....

Or at least replace the links and just let everybody know that you will not be doing any future work on the project?
The ARES is the ONLY tablet I own, I don't have the budget to buy anything else and currently my ARES tablet has no OS installed at all., I NEED a ROM, or even just a TWRP backup of the original!!! Otherwise all I have is a paper weight and not even $78 in my wallet to buy another....
I implore you good sir, at least replace/ re-post some working links before you walk away from the project...

vampirefo I don't suppose you either still have this file or a bone stock boot and system img for the 5.1.1 firmware do you? This device was given to my roomie's daughter and the only way I could recover it was with your other rom. I mostly want the 5.1.1 image for updated blobs and build.prop, but having the images would help with other projects I'm considering.

I was interested in this. Damaged mine trying to use this and other techniques so left it sit to gather dust. I find that someone in another thread finally did it where I could understand it. It's a pity patience is in such short supply.
nice rom but also a bit laggy though

This is exciting news, I can't wait and definitely am willing to test it for you.
Need Help
I have compiled LinageOS 14.1 for this device. However, it will NOT boot. I believe that all we need to do is fix the boot image file. I am having an extremely difficult time porting the boot image file. I was wondering if anyone here can maybe port it for me. I have tried replacing the LinageOS boot.img with the stock boot.img and I get nothing but an infinite boot loop. I have also tried a lot of other things to port the boot.img but I cannot remember everything I have tried. I will provide the links to my LinageOS compile and the boot image files in this post.
Download Link
Remember DO NOT try anything without a working backup of everything first.
Maybe I could take a crack at it today if I have some free time after painting and I hook up the trusty Dell precision. I'm more comfortable with systems that run already but I'm willing to do some research if there's even a chance I could help. Thanks again for what you've compiled so far!

What can I do to help ? I have a device, a backup, and money if worst comes to worst, I am determined to make this work.

Lineage OS
I am very interested in the development, also if this person has working META-INF that will help me out too, so I can help someone release a rom and they can help me, as I said before this is all very new to me.
I'd love some help getting started on making any ROM, even if it's Slim AF to start with (since you already figured out how to do that), then I'd try something else. I have Ubuntu already installed, but need some basic help, like what repo to download and what files to modify. If you can help with that, I'd really appreciate it as we may have more ROMs to choose from .

Nice work. Will this be based off the latest security updates B150 (think stock came with B130 firmware) and root?
Love this as a starting point. Did you free up any of the internal storage that is dedicated to the system? As we know there is only 8GB free of the 16G. Does SLIM ROM change things in this regard? Just curious.
yes
I have managed to free up a little over 2gb of space, I am still looking for other bs that is taking up so much space, i'm thinking its another partition, so give me a while to figure out what i can safely remove to get us more space. I also work 2 jobs lol i dont have a ton of free time but this phone is my daily driver and i am very determined to get something to work for it!

I will release Resurrection Remix soon, I just want to work out some critical bugs before I do. It's pretty stable as of now, I am posting from it. As of now, Wi-Fi, the camera, and the phone's internal loudspeaker don't work, I think Wi-Fi is going to require me to compile a custom kernel but that won't be too difficult. After I get those things to work, I will compile a flashable zip and release.

Thank you so much for your hard work on this ROM and device. I'm sure I can safely speak for all of us about how exciting this is. If at any point you need someone to test a particular version I'm very confident in making a backup of where I am now and diving in to submit feedback for kernel changes or anything else you need more than one phone to try on.

well i started working on ressurection remix as well dont know my eta if he gets his done cool if not then hope mine gets done
Sorry for not posting an update I've been swamped with work and laying tile I still have yet to install BBQ Linux if by the time I'm done laying tile we still don't have a room I will see to it that I make one
i dont guess any of these ROMs ever saw the light of day? lol been a long time since posts it appears, and there aren't many ROMs to find for the h1611 it seems. Nexus XT looks promising, but i cant download it because every link is a 7 hour download that fails a few hours in. satisfied enough i guess with stock rooted, but i want more, might have to keep this phone for a while until i can get a higher end one.
ive got some emui based roms like the nexus one is a emui based one im in the works of making a more vanilla like experience rom to try improve performance etc. and working on building a device tree for the xt its a work in progress for that. but the other rom wont be the swift n fast slim it will be called something else ill post it soon as its almost done

Best ROM

Can someone please suggest a fully functional custom ROM for this TAB please. The stock ROM is too laggy - I feel like breaking the tab. I just hate Lenovo and wonder these useless guys are going to spoil the name of Motorola too by acquiring them.
I could've bought even a still cheaper chinese tablet instead.
thanks

Resurrection Remix
Know this thread is old but I recently started using Resurrection Remix and it was love at first sight. It has the most features of any ROM I have tried and it is still battery friendly. I have heard it can be a bit unstable but I haven't had any problems. I really recommend you try it. I have tried many ROMs and this is by far my favourite. Can't wait to they upgrade to Oreo
Hi @AnonUser101 thanks for that information. Can you also please share the link of the version that tried please.
I could find only 2 ROMs ie cm and Orion....
Just flash both and decide which suits you...
