Question about JB rom instalation

RoRo1990 · Dec 4, 2012

I'm looking to upgrade from ICS to JB. I was going to ask this on XDA but they are very uptight rude/elitists. I'm currently running stock 4.0.3 XWLPD with ICS domination theme. I have never installed a rom before. It says I need to do a factory reset when I do this does it just clear everything and revert to the default stock rom xwlpd or does it actually revert to the factory stock rom gingerbread? Can anyone also recommend me a JB rom i'm looking at this 1 currently

I'm looking for 1 that has the least bugs I definately want to be able to use the camera functions

There's a 2 threads devoted to installing the JB Rom on your friendly Android Forums...

Jelly Bean firmware unofficial release

Jelly Bean Rom Guide & Mods

Always a good idea to Factory Reset before installing a new platform.

Thanks for the quick reply. But I still have the question about factory reset does it reset it to the factory rom that the phone first came with with or the 1 I last installed?

no.
it just wipes /data which basically stores your apps and settings etc.
whatever ROM you are on when you factory reset will remain.
and so will root if you are rooted

I downloaded the I9100XXLSJ_I9100OXXLS1_OXX file and tried to unzip it but keep getting unsupported compression method i am using 7 zip and never had this issue before

It might just be corrupt - I had to download it twice as my first one wouldn't open.

Windows internal explorer can decompress it, so will winrar so I assume its a standard format.

Hmm I installed it can't seem to unlock my sim with my phone I installed philz kernel also and tried using helroz it doesn't seem to be working this time around. After I click step 2 and restart my phone with helroz unlocker its still not unlocked and I also tried chainfires galaxy s2 unlocker it asks if I have superuser which I installed not sure what to do.

LinkGo through the first thread which ironass mentioned and look for my posts where I have posted the rooting and unlocking the S2 on XXLSJ. I have also attached the required ZIP and APK files.

Posting this from my mobile, so couldn't include links to my posts.

It seems I can't change the display brightness by swiping the status bar anymore? Is there a way to renable this?

If you pull down the notification bar at the top, its there with visual scale now. (Unless you've used another ROM not the unofficial release)
