Galaxy S2 Jelly Bean Custom Install

[Plasid]

Hi guys.

If anyone knows how to flash Jelly Bean on the Galaxy S2 GT I9100 version, it will be on this forum.

So yeah I'm also fed up with Samsung SA not rolling out JB and now I'm looking to get it onto my phone another way.

I've researched a couple of pages and forums explaining how to do it in the safest way possible, but I'm still wary of following those steps.

I'm on Vodacom and my current version is 4.0.3. I don't know which info I should ad.

The websites with the steps I had a look at are

http://www.sidhtech.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s2-jelly-bean-update-9/1003454/ and
http://www.galaxys2manual.com/how-to-manually-install-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-for-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100g/

I already downloaded Odin 3.07 and "jellybam-v9.0.0_i9100" from http://get.jellybam.com/stable/i9100/

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers.

The first link you posted: http://android.sc/update-samsung-galaxy-s2-to-official-jelly-bean-4-1-2-xwlsj-os/
This is the correct one, the other two are for the i9100g.

If you want the latest stock rom get it from sammobile.com, go to firmware and search for i9100. You should be good with any of the non-carrier versions like the generic UK/Ireland one. I haven't tried this one but I doubt you'll have any issues as they're all quite similar

If you want to try out other custom roms I would highly recommend Cyanogenmod 10.1 (http://www.cyanogenmod.org/). It is the most maintained and stable custom rom for 4.2.2 and basically all other roms running 4.2.2 use cm10.1 at their base anyway.

It was much easier than expected!
Downloaded the UK/Ireland ROM and it works perfectly so far. Still have to see if any problems arise like increased battery drain or a laggy interface.
Thanks!

whatwhat, I'll definitely download that and give it a go. For now I still want a rom as close as possible to stock.

What's the difference between this ROM and a UK/Ireland ROM from sammobile.com?

All bloatware removed (most importantly). Slightly better interface. Slightly faster. Online support on XDA and elsewhere.

An insane amount of features and settings that the normal ROMs don't have. It's faster and optimised better than the normal ROMs.
