****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II Thread***

Just done my first root :) flashed my O2 branded KE2 firmware to unbranded KE7 rooted.

Went in this order and it worked fine.

Use odin in download mode to flash unsecure kernal.
Enabled USB debugging and rooted with superoneclick 1.9.
Use odin in download mode to flash Generic KE7.
Use odin in download mode to flash unsecure kernal.
Root with superoneclick.
Use odin in download mode to flash KE7 stock kernal.

Didnt lose any settings doing all of the above and O2 screens are now stock samsung ones. Im not sure if i needed to root it on O2 KE2 to install the generic KE7 but i did and it worked fine.

Yea you didn't need the first flash of unsecure kernel and root, because once you flashed the generic KE7 it wiped that all out anyway.

ROOT/etc/1_Power_on.ogg and PowerOn.wav in the same folder, i did'nt delete them i put renamed them with .bak on the end to take them out of play.

You did'nt need to do the first 2 steps btw to root the phone, you coulda just flashed the generic firmware straight on.

How long did it take? The KE7 firmware file is 310 MB!

I've rooted the device and am on O2 KE2, can I get away with upgrading the firmware through Kies when it becomes available?
 
i have ke7 firmware, just rooted following xda guide. all worked fine and have root access. however.... I get a yellow triangle on boot? what does that mean? and do i need to reflash anything else?

I bought one of them, its it's ok, it kind of expands to the point of feeling like u'd break the thing for a smartphone this size, so it's not perfect, but it holds it tightly

I'd prefer the official one, but as it says it's a very good fit, I doubt it will work with a case, and I don't want to be taking the case off for it... This one stretches to the right size so it will work with any phone, when I first got it earlier today I thought it was rubbish cos it looked way too small, and I almost binned it, but I gave it another go just now, and actually read the instructions on the box :P seems ok now I know it's supposed to stretch, only difficulty is getting it out of the holder as it grips quite tight, I'll test it in the car tomorrow I think.


Only thing left I'm waiting for now, is the Martin Fields Screen Protector!

Looks like waiting for the official one is the better option then. Looking forward to reading your views after you test it in your car. Thanks
