Hello. Im sorry for asking but ive searched till im blue in the face and im not getting results. i have a verizon samsung galaxy tab sch i800 stock 2.3.5 rooted. i would very much like to get ICS on it and ive read several comments about cm9 being on this device but can find no guide that is half decent for getting it on there. i havent flashed a rom for a year or so so it seems everything is pretty new to me again so if you can point me to a good thread id thank you very much

O.k. heres the deal.A while ago i wanted to update my 2 sgs and my sgs2 to official xxkg5 when it came out so i thought id start with the sgs.Have flashed heaps so this was nothing at all new.A this moment id like to say that i wasnt aware XDA.Searched the web for the update for the official 2.3.4 for the sgs and found a site which i will not name as to not cause problems.Found it kind of strange that it was only a PDA tar. file so read on and they confirmed that its all good.Downloaded but thought id wait a while to see how it went.Anyway seemed o.k. so i flashed and bricked my phone.Couldnt beleive it.Maybe ill try again.Flashed and bricked the seconded phone.Went searching for the site but the site had takin away the link i had used which was "how to update your galaxy sgs i9000 to official keis XXKG5".Then i joined XDA and you guys dont have kg5 for the sgs only for the sgs2.On this site ive updated my s2 to xxkg6 with villainROM2.4.2 and all went well but in your list of 2.3.4 sgs firmwares its stated as jvq.When i went back to the other site and asked where the link was and why they had taken it of (i had to do so in the s2 xxkg5 update messages forum) all he could say was do the flash again it will turn out fine in the end.I TOLD HIM THEY WERE BRICKED AND GOT THAT AS AN ANSWER!!!!What in need to know really is that after hours of searching and sgs i9000 xxkg5 update links disappearing from the web was it me or is xxkg5 only for S2 and not for sgs as stated here and not like this other clown is STILL trying to tell me!!!!!......an answer will help me out of my misery but wont bring my phones back in know and now im to f'n freaked out to flash my s2 again.

Ya I think xxkg5 I'd fit sgs2 and not for sgs for sgs u have jvr as latest version. You can download official firmware from a reputed site like samfirmware.com
Sent from my sgs
kernel: galaxian
Rom: jetpack
Thanks mate thats what i was thinkin.i had jvr in one of the sgs but that site said that kg5 was the official sgs 2.3.4 and then they took the link away and still tell me to keep tryinin.bunch of clowns.im pretty sure im not the only one too.
I have both the SGS and SGSII as well and unfortunately you did flash the wrong software after some dud advice.
The only thing I will say is have you heard of the recovery jig?? It helps to force the phone into download mode. I havent tried it personally but it has worked for a lot of people.
A quick ebay search gave me these. http://shop.ebay.ie/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=i9000+jig
Hope it helps.
Aewsome mate.looks like a good thing to try.might just be the solution.The thing is that it doesnt show the classic symbols of a bricked phone but worth a try.
Hello,
I would like to try flashing my rogers captivate to ICS. Nothing fancy just a astable bug free ICS. However I am on 2.3.3. I updated through KIES a while back and now I have no idea how to root my phone or install roms. I am afraid the last time I looked into this everything was very different. I have read the forums but am still a little anxious.
Is it possible to root and then install CWM or something to install roms from my current 2.3.3 version? If so how may I do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Christopher
By reading all the stickies and reading some more info, you will be a genius at this stuff by the time you're done...
Yeah thats what I am kinda trying to avoid. I have to hack and read so much already it gets really tiring having to keep up with it all. Add to this work and school and its like info overload. I was hoping there might be an easier way than earning another mini phone phD. Thus far I have determined I have to change my kernel... I think? My phone is unrooted. Stock 2.1 to 2.3.3 KIES.
This Site is mentioned for developing. That being said for the rest of us, we are supposed to learn. The reason it's important to read and understand is you can potentially kill your phone.

Hi folks,
Im a sgs2 user but I have my old I9000 international, that I wish to send away to a friend in need. Im sure this question has been asked a few times but specific to this circumstance, I would like suggestions for a rock stable ICS ROM. I have jelly bean on there now and it seems to be running ok, but if something goes awry, im not around to flash a new ROM for this person and they know nothing about rooting. JB is also not mature enough to send away to someone.
Been away from this forum for awhile since sgs2 but it appears ICS333 is decent?
Also if someone could tell me the best radio for Tmobile. I have no way to test it with a tmobile sim card since im on a canadian provider.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I have tried many jelly bean roms but those are not stable enough that I go back to ICS333 because it is the most stable. First install value pack 2.3.x like xxjvu or xxjvs via Odin then root ur phone and finally install ics333. That works best for me.

ive read that there are many threads on unlocking the gt-s5570 but cant find any!!! i cant be looking in the right places but then again i have been dumb enough today to take my galaxy note2 in the swimming baths this morning.
can somebody kindly point me to a unlocking guide for the gt-s5570, its running android 2.3.6, ive just rooted it and running stock rom on o2uk if any of that makes any difference to the guide lol

Hey guys Whats going on. Well Ive had my S5 for a while now. And When I first got it I remember you couldnt Root the phone and One reason was it would Change or mod something with the Kernel. And doing that you would break your warranty on the phone. It has been a while since I rooted and installed Roms, since the droid bionic. Thanks again
Sooo did some reading and now see there is a Root Hack to finally Root these ATT S5 Phones... Can someone Point me in the direction on how to do this correctly?
I have a Kernel Version: 3.4.0 Tues July 22 2014
Android Version 4.4.2
I also would like to Try some Custom Roms. How do you guys Install Custom Roms?
Does we need to install Safestrap? Or any recovery Mod like that?
What I would like to do is get more from my battery as a Full battery barely lasts me a Full day at work.
Thanks guys and cant wait to get some info and advice here. Always great getting Professional Advice than searching and finding 100 different answers. :laugh:
