i'm sure our device requires the same or similar.

You'll likely brick your device with that method. Its a different processor. You need a different set of binaries and something built on your platform, not another ROM
The T-Mobile sgs2 had an edit:Qualcomm APQ8060 processor. Every other sgs2 has Exynos.

well no ****. lol. i know that. i'm just sayin' we should prolly look at their method and follow suite. it was similar as i recall on the vibrant.
oh but hey, good lookin' out to make sure i wasn't some damn fool who was gonna actually try that.
the best way to approach it is either to use the methods that work on the HTC sensation or the other variants of SGS2
i don't have the device with me yet, else i would start trying things out already
Sensation was a pain to root.

Meh. ... there's Exynos and there's everything else. Just saying.. its different. Its not the same as every other SGS2.
My method of root would be to get in on UART, drop binaries in the system and pull the factoryfs. Then you would have the rooted method from above.
Woohoo lets get this party STARTED!! :-D
Can't wait. I just got it and omg screen is humongous.

Hi everyone. I am just curious, can we flash roms from SGSII development or do we have to only use E4GT roms?
Thanks,
Hard Harry
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
No don't flash any sgs2 rom's they have diff radios. It will sft brick and the only way to get out is Jtag or go to sprint and insurance claim.
---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------
Only ET4G ROM's.
Just stick to anything in this section and you'll be fine. GSII ROMs that are GSM based will hard brick, not soft brick your phone.
Thanks everyone for the timely response.

Wrong.. As a matter of fact some SGS2 roms will even bootup. Buuut no calls,text,data etcetc. But hey Bluetooth works on most though. LoL.
Sorry Skylla hadto correct ya. But you are correct about flashing only from this section.

You're very welcome.
Yeah definitely a no no. Heard of people accidentally doing this and totally bricked their device.
This is NOT intended to be an insult...
If you need to ask this, you shouldn't be rooting. Read through the stickies in dev and general then move forward.
If you mess up, getting back to working can be a true pain in the d*ck

Hows the battery life ?
Haven't had to charge the phone since I performed the mod. I think this mod writes to /mnt/sdcard/new folder...which in turn does absolutely nothing besides enable immortal battery tweak.
Will this trip my flash counter?
I hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it. I just checked and unfortunately it does trip the counter. Before the mod I was at 0, and now it reads over 9000, and no longer samsung official... If attempted make sure you grab a copy of Triangle Away.
This bricked my phone :silly:

k786, thank you for the recommendation. I've been looking at the Nexus 4 but I thought its release might drive down the cost on the Gal Nexus (refurb'ed). I have a f*&^ing locked Photon and fortunately, my contract with Sprint just ended and I got out. I love my Photon but since I can't use it with prepaid I'm trying to find a good device on the cheap (like 100 bucks cheap). I realize that's a pipe dream at the moment but the way things move in the industry I bet I'll get my wish come Xmas.
So you live in Alabama and not Birmingham, UK? Might be worth putting your state to avoid confusion as I assumed you were in the UK...
Hey all..!! i was recently taking a look at the build.prop file in my phone and i tried changing the name of processor...
Since this experiment was a success thought i should share it with you all....
It gives a very classy feel although its just a simple trick...
i tried this on a custom rom (sense 4.1 rom) but cant say weather it will work on stock or other roms
edit the
ro.product.processor = Single core
to
ro.product.processor = xxxxxxx
xxxxxx= any name you like
Note do not edit the value of ram...!!!!! Or do any other at your own risk i only tried it with processor
after changing the value just reboot..
you will need to use a root explorer
hope u find this information interesting
It's already know that you can modify things in build prop, and by the way no one will ever believe your processor is an i3 so it's just a little pointless

DO NOT FLASH this rom as I do not know if it will go perfectly or catch your phone on fire. I take no responsibility for your actions.
With that said, here it is 4.3 for the N7100 and I was hoping that a developer would be able to port it. Judging from the discussion I have been reading Knox is included and causes some problems with root but you can disable Knox from your app manager. Anyone with porting experience care to weigh in?
