The past few months have seen an explosion in the number of Android 4.0 custom ROMs for the Samsung Galaxy S2, largely down to the fact that Samsung — along with the mobile networks that control the updates — made a pig’s ear of getting Ice Cream Sandwich onto the S2. So last month we published a guide on how to load a custom ROM onto your phone.

That situation has changed and all of the major UK networks have now upgraded their S2s to the latest iteration of Google’s software. That means you can legitimately get a taste of the new ice-cool OS without having to void your warranty by flashing firmware.

If you’re one of the many impatient people who have already installed a custom 4.0 ROM to your phone, then you may well be sat there wondering how you can get your beloved blower back on the straight and narrow with the officially sanctioned update. Fear not, read on and you’ll learn how, plus a whole lot more besides.

Next up is Odin, which is the piece of software that handles the magical process of flashing firmware to your phone. Download Odin here.

Finally, you’ll want the firmware you wish to flash. Unless you’re especially smitten with the additional bloatware your particular network operator sees fit to install on its Galaxy S2s, you’re best off going with the unbranded UK 4.0.3 firmware, which can be downloaded from here. If you’d rather use a carrier-branded offering, have a look around this thread to find the one you’re after.

Restoring stock firmware to your phone Before you attempt to do any of the steps outlined below, make sure that Samsung’s Kies software is not running on your machine. Kies has an unfortunate tendency to cause problems when Odin is attempting to communicate with your device, so ensure it is either disabled or uninstalled entirely. It’s also worth noting that following the steps outlined below could wipe your handset, so be sure to back up anything you don’t want to lose, just in case.

Odin will work its magic and flash the official firmware to your device. Once it’s finished, your phone will reboot automatically, and you’ll be the proud owner of a Galaxy S2 with stock (and all-above-board) Ice Cream Sandwich firmware.

To get all the latest phone reviews, news and features beamed direct to your Android device of choice, head to the Google Play store and download the free CNET Android app today.

Updated: Broken links fixed and information added on how to extract the compressed firmare before selecting it in Odin.

I’m assuming your phone is rooted, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to install a different ROM. So that means you can already use free WiFi .tethering by using the open garden app. No need to switch ROMS, although one of the coolest things about root is that you can switch ROMS

Backing a Stock Rom Is Extremely Neccessary For Every Android User.Because You Don’t Know,That the Custom Rom U going To Flash Will Work Properly with your device or Not.

Answer by Jarryd
Yes you can just use the ROM which is already there, you don’t have to install a custom ROM

If you haven’t yet rooted you can easily root your phone in under five minutes without the aid of a computer or anything apart from your phone by downloading an app called Z4Root which you can download here (It’s not in the Android Market/Google Play):

If you need help here is a video guide on how to do it:

Beware that there is a slight chance that Z4Root may not work on your phone, in which case look for an alternative way to root it

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini USB Drivers You will need to connect your Android phone with the computer. For that, please make sure you have installed the USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini properly. If not, you can download the latest official drivers from our Android USB Drivers section here:

Backup and Other Important Tips Done with the USB drivers? Perfect. The tutorial is on the next page, but first, please take a look at the following tips and important points you need to take care of. These are important, as we don’t want anyone losing their personal data or apps:

Always backup your important data that you might need after you install a new custom ROM, an official software update or anything else. Make a backup for just in case, you never know when anything might go wrong. See below for some tips on how to backup data:

Samsung users can also back up data using Samsung KIES. If you backup data manually, you get more options what to choose from and it is very easy to move data across Android devices from different manufacturers, i.e moving Samsung Galaxy Note backup data to HTC One X.

If you already have a custom recovery (ClockworkMod, TWRP etc.) installed on your phone, we strongly recommend a backup using that as it creates a complete image of your existing phone set up.

A few more optional tips that you should remember:

1. Having problems connecting your Android phone to the computer? You need to enable USB debugging mode. See here: How to Enable USB Debugging — for Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean.

2. Make sure your Android device is charged up to 80-85% battery level. This might help you: How to Check Battery Percentage. Why? Because, if your phone goes off suddenly while installing a custom ROM, flashing an official firmware update or installing mods etc. — your phone might get bricked or go dead permanently. No one wants that, right?

4. Most of the tutorials and how-to guides on Team Android are for factory unlocked Android phones and tablets. We recommend NOT to try our guides if your phone is locked to a carrier, unless we have specified the carrier name or device model.

All set and ready? Good. Now, let’s proceed with the tutorial on the next page and update Galaxy S3 Mini I8190 to XXALK6 Android 4.1.1 official firmware.

Sometimes market participants overlook the value case for a stock, but this is impossible for Apple (AAPL) as it is by-far the most reported-on stock in human history. Do you think market participants have no reason for dumping Apple? Saturation is the reason, and it comes in three forms: old, new, and stock.

1) Old Saturation

The old markets are saturating. There are too many recent iPhones and iPads in circulation. The newest versions are incremental improvements, and they won’t keep up with the next generational leap, which is Glass (GOOG). Too many people have these old devices already–this saturation which killed PC sales is creeping into Apple’s mobile devices.

In terms of the next generation, besides Google, I like what Nuance (NUAN) and Spansion (CODE) are producing in voice recognition, and believe the two stocks are cheap if paired equally together.

2) New Saturation

The new market for smartphones, tablets, and laptops will be more efficient. There is too much redundancy in all these devices. Eventually, someone is going to competently integrate the smartphone and the tablet, turning two markets into one. The same could happen with the tablet and the laptop — although this super-device is definitely not Microsoft (MSFT) Surface! Overall, we could see three markets slowly shrinking to two.

Someone will figure this stuff out and disrupt everyone else in the space. The next Apple may be Lenovo (LNVGY.PK) (LNVGF.PK), which is known for quality design, and by the way will be the top smartphone seller in China next year, says Gartner.

3) Stock Saturation

Everyone who wants to get long Apple has done it already; sure there is “dry powder” among bulls, but there is no “new money”. It is tragic to see alpha chasers sucked into trends at the last minute–but many will have the instinct to cut their losses quickly, which partially explains the latest selloff. There will be a huge, huge selloff from the newer wave of investors as soon as Apple’s stock breaks lower (assuming Cook doesn’t pull off a coup and make exclusive deals with content producers for iTV).

What about investors around the developing world? Will investors in the emerging global middle-class invest in American stocks? Probably not, because they are witnessing higher growth rates in the real estate and businesses around them. If anything they will be buying up truly globalized conglomerates like Proctor and Gamble (PG) and Coca Cola (KO).

Divestment Thesis: Slowdown

Apple stock is cheap on basic metrics, arguably near the bottom of a technical range, and likely to go up for a while as many hedge funds continue to lean on it. However there is substantial downside risk both in the short term and the long term. Investors who have done quite well allocating heavily to Apple over the years should be winding down to a more conservative position.

Investment Thesis: Asia Speedup

Consider Lenovo–market cap of $ 85bb; P/E at 20 is relatively cheap, because earnings per share are shooting up:

2012/13 $ 1.332011/12 $ .632011/12 $ 1.462011/12 $ 1.382011/12 $ 1.082010/11 $ .422010/11 $ .982010/11 $ .76Check out the ThinkPad product line if you haven’t already, and you may agree that it is lovable. Consider how many early investors got rich with Apple stock: they saw quality in the product. Here’s what a guy in the industry whom I trust told me about Lenovo:

I am not surprised by Lenovo’s growth in smartphones. Back when Lenovo acquired IBM’s (IBM) personal computing division I saw the global emergence of Lenovo. Lenovo at that time was simply a China/Chinese product.

When [a buyer outside China] was looking for a bid for [a large quantity of] computers, I worked with the major players in the region. IBM and Hewlett Packard (HPQ) had the largest distribution and the most support centers around — they were sure they would win the bid.

I said to the senior people there to watch out for Lenovo because the Chinese can withstand losing money to “advertise” their brand. They also “installed” an American CEO — who was once Dell’s Asia Pacific President. Sure enough, Lenovo won the bid and so went Lenovo’s progress in Asian countries.

Where many acquisitions go the way of asset stripping, key to Lenovo’s strategy was keeping the PC division intact and R&D in the US. And low prices!! Even today, their prices are slightly cheaper and sometimes more innovative/creative than other major brands.

Lenovo is also the official supplier of technology to the Chinese government so there’s a lot of guarantees that they would do well a long time.

Further, CyanogenMod can breath new life into a phone no longer receiving software updates or other official support from a manufacturer. Downloads of the ROM are available today for a number of devices that have long languished on legacy versions of Android. The Samsung Captivate and Galaxy S II Skyrocket are just two examples, though even CyanogenMod’s developers have their limits when it comes to hardware support.

Naturally you’ll want some working knowledge of Android before diving into the process. The installation procedure has become almost foolproof these days, but you should nonetheless take care to avoid being left with an overpriced paperweight. The full list of stable CM10 downloads for supported devices can be found at the source below.
