you an expert person, please recommend me.

For a new user Cognition rom would be the starting point .

Omg, i have installed them to my phone, now my phone battery is draining so fast. Please help me.
EDIT:
SpeedMod SGS2 + Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3
EDIT2:
i am also getting triangle on boot.
Please help me.

do a battery calibration before a battery consumption judgement.
I use LeoMar Revolution 2.6, it is a very easy to use ROM with lots of themes and you can flash it with his kitchen app.
the yellow triangle is for unsafe kernel, it is used for rooting the device. don't let it bother you

Thank you.....
can you give me link to LeoMar Revolution rom's thread?
i cant find it anyhwere

[Q] if i didn't did backup for my stock rom i still get back to it ?

hello
i have now the litening 1.5
and i didn't backed up my stock rom
there is a way to back to stock rom now ?
my phone from clove.uk
(i know that it might be at www.samfirmware.com but don't know what to search....)
thanks
and sorry for the newbie question
Just flash KF2 in odin again (presuming thats the firmware you were on before litening rom) and you will be back on stock firmware with all your apps and data in tact.
do u mean this one ?
I9100XXKF2 ## EXT4.PIT 2.3.3 2011 June MULTI - CSC - OXAKF2 ?
and how can i be sure that this was my firmware ?
as i said ... my phone from clove.co.uk bought it on 9/6/2011 if it help
Hi I've byen wondering the same thing.
I flashed my phone before taking notice or backup of anything and so haven't a clue which versions my phone came with.
It is great that all the stock stuff is available but does not help me much as I have no clue whether, whatever I flash will be the same as what the phone came with...
I suppose that it is too late to think about that and not possible to find out exactly which combinations the phone came with from emei or serial no. or something like that..
by the way
if my friend bought the galaxy s II from clove 2 weeks after i did
it should be same firmware ?
(he didn't root it and flashed it yet....
then he still with the stock rom , it can help me ?
You can flash back to KE7 stock. This has been available via the official KIES Samsung channel.
Check the Development forum for stock firmware:

and how i can really know that this is what i had before i flashed the litening 1.5 ?
and what about the kernel ?
should i need to do something about it ?
At the end of the day I don't think it matters what firmware you go back to as they are all pretty much the same with no major changes. If you are in the UK then it probably came with KE7 as that is the latest official ROM for this area. Litening ROM 1.5 is based on KF2, so flashing stock KF2 won't do any damage.
Before flashing anything do a backup just in case, but if you flash any PDA in odin none of your data will be wiped.

[Q] Hi, Cu rious case of Galaxy s

Small run down of what i did and if anyone can help ....
I was running 2.3.3 and updated to the unofficial 2.3.4 using odin and simply honey 5.0 revenge by sgt. That's when i noticed that the phone does not connect to the bell network.The rest of my phone works perfectly even the wifi...but like i said i can t seem to connect to the net work anymore.....
firmware 2.3.4 / baseband version i9000xxjvr/ kernel version 2.6.35.7 [email protected]/ build number simply honey 5.0 revenge
i ve tried some stuff that i have read in these forums like
1. Put apn info my self....tried that nothing.
2. Called tech support and they told me to take the battery out and then the sim
put it back , nothing again
My question is do i have to go back to stock rom to get the network back or is there something else i can try....
information on this subject is sketchy, when i do a google search ...any help would be appreciated...thanks in advance
It probably was a bad flash sounds like some of your system files did'nt compile correctly. Odin back to stockand reflash. I always have flash problems when going past 2.2.1 almost always have to odin back thats why I stick with Froyo a bit mre stable when hopping roms.

[Q] How to flash I9000 on CM9? from 2.3.6 TMZ BOJW6

Hello,
I own GT - I9000 with STOCK ROM exactly this one (2.3.6 TMZ - Baseband i9000XXJW4; and Build number - gingerbread.BOJW6)
And I wanna root and flash from stock to custom rom (CM9).
Before posting I tried to root my SGS by SuperOneClick 2.3.3, however it stopped in the step 7. And now I would like to use ODIN for this. But I will do this once and I dont want to make hard brick from my phone. I am confused in this terms like PDA,CSC atc. And I dont know where to find new ones.
It´s possible to join files to this thread for ODIN for rooting and flashing?
It´s needed to upload new kernel, baseband (PDA,CSC and so on) on the phone?
Please would you mind to clear this issue up for me?
Thank you very much.
MM
Please help me, I am beginner in this trouble...

[Q] Problems with ROM install

Hello I would like to ask you... I have SM-N9005 (baseband) - N9005XXUBMH9 and I cant find any ROM for it, can you tell me whats the problem? Do I have any kind of testing model or what? Thank you for your answers... I really would like to install Lollipop on it, but I am afraid, because of my baseband... Thanks.
Baseband is the Modem its not the firmware .
Development is full of N9005 custom roms as is sammobile with stock roms .

Ahh sorry, so do you think that I can install any firmware on that XXUBMH9?, because i didnt find any on sammobile. I have found that XXUBMH9 was something like pre-release version or something like that...
Download and run Phone Info from play store .

And what do you need from this app ?
List everything in these tabs: General, CSC Code, Firmware
(actually, don't need all, but simpler to just tell you that than each specific thing). Easier still, take a snapshot of your screen and post them on here.
General will tell us your exact phone model, and CSC will let us know which country specific firmware you need. Firmware will let us know which version you have, so you don't downgrade bootloader and mess things up.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed

A word of caution. It may not be so but your confusion about baseband says you don't know much about ROM's, flashing and software components. I'd suggest have a read of the stickies (at top of each section such as Android Development) and learn what gives. You need to know the difference between Recovery and Download modes among other things.
Chances are you will want to root you phone so you can play more, but if all you want is LP, you can DL the Stock firmware for your phone (which is why the guys want the details from Phone INFO) and then flash it using Odin - a program you run on your PC that runs the firmware onto your phone.
N9005XXUBMH9
Feedback on that is that it was Jelly Bean Test firmware .In which case it may not be a genuine Note 3 but a sample .
SM-N9005: Android 4.3 Jellybean
(Current test firmware: N9005XXEBMH9/N9005OXABMH9/N9005XXUBMH9)

[Q] S3 Neo reverting to stock ROM problem

Hello there, I flashed my S3 Neo with an unofficial ROM so I could see how good is Lolipop 5.0, but I didn't like it so much, so I wanted to revert back to my stock ROM which is Android 4.4.2. My question is, does the Baseband version matters? My phone baseband version is I9301IXXUANI2 but when I went to the Samsung Updates site where I could find my ROM, there was only I9301IXXUANI1 versions, no I9301IXXUANI2. If I try to use that version from the site, would my phone get bricked?
Sorry for my bad english.
no it doesn't matter !
at least from what i know !
i did installed different baseband version to my phone and nothing happened everything works fine !
just be sure its for ur phone which is i9301i !
good luck

Nothing is matter. Baseband or region has no impact. That's what i know. Go to sammobile.com and download any baseband version firmware and flash it through odin. Just remember one thing that firmware should be for your exact model.
Thanks all for your help

You are welcome. And may be your service providers have some restrictions so try to download a firmware for your country or which is for your neighbour countries. And there will be no problems. I am not from Europe and i have tried firmwares of European countries.
Thanks all for your help, but is there any alternative of samsung-updates .com ? Their download links are the worse thing I ever seen in my life, I takes me 4h to download at a limited speed and the download failed once.
