Hello people,
First of all I just purchased my Samsung Galaxy S2 two days ago and Ive noticed a delay when talking to people, the delay is around 1 second I'd say.
Im using same simcard as i used on my INQ 3chat mobile so I dont understand whats causing it?
My second question has to do with ROMS, Ive searched around the forum but cant really find what im looking for.
I would like to find a thread where they compare the different ROMS, and pros and cons with leaving touchwiz (which im not even really sure what it is since i never tested a clean android).
Also I would like to know if i root my phone can i easily restore it if I need to send it in to the manufacturer (warranty ofcourse). So they wont know ive rooted it.
Also last q, which is the best way to root your samsung SII phone, im looking for the easiest and most reliable solution here. Because I thought about installing CM7 on my Galaxy S2 but im still not sure whether to do it or not..
thx in advance

>>No thread with in depth comparisons YOU WILL HAVE TO READ THE ROM POSTS .
Also I would like to know if i root my phone can i easily restore it if I need to send it in to the manufacturer (warranty ofcourse). So they wont know ive rooted it.
>>yes flash stock firmware via Odin and reset custom rom counter via USB jig .
Also last q, which is the best way to root your samsung SII phone, im looking for the easiest and most reliable solution here.
>>Chainfires CWM and root is what most use .
Because I thought about installing CM7 on my Galaxy S2 but im still not sure whether to do it or not..
Not yet built for SGS2 CM7 that is .

Gotcha, appriciate it a lot
If anyone got any feedback on the different ROMs please feel free to drop comments, as I cant really see much information about any of them inside their threads.
Just saw this recently gaining momentum in the GNex Thread, thought of contributing some guffawing RootNerd jokes here too!
Post a funny conclusion to the sentence.
Have fun

What y'day i did was i thing biggest blunder ever i caused on android.
Here is story
My friend came to me to get update to ICS for his device SGS 2.
I have done lots of flashing/rooting so it was not a big task for me, just i have asked abt his device and i have downloaded require ICS ROM for his device.
I have flashed it with odin
it was failed.
I have retry again fail
Lost recovery as well download mode too.
I was confidient (N over smart)
used JIG to get into download mode
find out pit file and flashed it
find out boot loader and flashed it
Nothing nothing it was semi bricked
Downloaded GB ROM and flashed
Fail, here i exhausted
And ask my friend are you sure your device is i9100 and not the varient?
he : yes it is i9100G
ME : then wtf you said it is i9100 when i have asked you at starting of procedure
He: but you said digit is same, so i think 'G' have no meaning
Me : 'G' is same important as g-sp*t
Then i got perspirated, and badly searched for correct pit (Here really i can say Note forum is much organised)
after 2hrs of search i found correct pit N bootloader (i think bootloader is almost same) but it was abt 3am and battery was emptied
Again in morning managed battery and flashed correct pit
then stcok GB and then ICS
and phone wokeup after a full night of deep sleep But Now i need a good sleep. But thnx God at last everything is fine.
Moral :
Confidence is good to have, but over confidence can kill U
Never trust any person who is not enough sound, N always check urself before flashing/modding(Look before you leap!! perfectly said dennis )
Interesting and useful experience sharing! Thanks.
there's a lesson for us all in that tale Dr Ketan!
Look before you leap!!
dennis
wow~.... your friend nearly killed his device by withholding that tiny bit of info... lol
Glad to see you recovered it for him
That happened with me. When in december last year i got my sgs2 at that time i was not aware if there is i9100g is present in the market.
So for rooting purpose i had to download insecure kernel or an older rom.
I flashed a i9100 and was stuck at samsung logo.
After that i researched here about it and found out thelat samsung screwed me.
Nice,
Moral..... Don't bother to play with others device...
Thanks for sharing Dr,
And I learn my first root from ur thread...thanks a lot
brililant and scary story im pretty sure u wont repeat this when someone comes to you with a US Note
Never

that be true ,when I had my s2 I found it hard to learn anything ,too much info all over the place .

ermmm ...how did you miss the big 19100G below the samsung logo?! I'm sure I've seen a G variant before and it stated 19100G on boot.
anyway your story is a good reminder that even if you are a pro you need to double check everything
thanks for sharing

I guess we should check it from now on.
to be honest I also made a mistake with my friend's S2 ,though not that big but still, I rooted and installed CM9 all the while talking about nandroid backup and that he shouldn't worry about loosing his stuff cause a nandroid restore will return them all
in the end he wanted to go back to GB ,so I rebooted into recovery and viola it hit me like a train that I forgot to make a nandroid backup in the first place lol.
mistakes do happen it seems ,but one should learn from them so as not to repeat them .
Well try to flash the software for engine of a ferrary on a fiat...
wwwrrrouuuuummmmmm or brick - that's the question.
Nothing is more funny than real life.
@Mr.Change
Ya once it mistake, but repeat of mistake is stupidity.
Though it was misunderstanding, but i believe it was my blunder, b'coz i shudn't have to rely on his answer. if he is sound then why wud he come to me for just flashing, thats why i cudn't sleep for half night.
I had similar situation, i ordered and payed a i9100, who came with the mail and my first look on the box?
"Hm what's with the G letter, what this means?!"
Google straight away - and guess what? Completly different as Samsung said improved phone but do i need G version? No, i dont cause i suspected that most of the custom roms will be build for original i9100.
I spand half of my day explainin a guy who sold me the phone that this isn't phone that i ordered!
At the end i asked: Do you have Galaxy Note? He said yes i do, excellent i'm coming to get it
So guys be careful when you're buyin or flashin phone
Will i9500 never get aosp roms? Too hard to believe plus that would mean we would never be able to get to later android versions once the software updates are stopped?

This is what we called a illogical question.
Pls understand what I m gonna say.
Recently we got rumor that CM team may support i9500. So, following that one we may get it also.
Your question is like 'if there would b no rain we all will die'. Let believe in Dev gods. They are working hard for cracking exynox, which is not so easy.

I know you were replying to jovan, that had nothing to do with what I said... My point was that what you said makes zero sense. Take 12 seconds and proofread your comments before hitting Submit is all I'm saying. This isn't a private messaging site, this is a public forum, so even when you are replying to someone else you have to know that other's will come along and read your post, perhaps in hope of getting information for a question they have or a problem they are trying to solve. That's one of the main points of public forum boards like this is that the conversations are available for others to read at a later date. Anybody reading your comment, even after reading the entire thread (which I did) will have no clue what in the heck you are talking about... Good for jovan if he/she understood it, but it might as well be in a foreign language...
