How to Install A Custom ROM On Your Samsung Galaxy S II

In this video I'll be showing you how to install a custom ROM on your Samsung Galaxy S2. The ROM I used in the video is pre-rooted, so even if you're not rooted before watching this video the ROM will auto-root for you. I hope you like this video, if you do please give it a thumbs up.

thanks man, but do you have to be rooted to do this?

[mattj101101]

@BudgetGaming No, I don't think you do as you're effectively replacing the entire firmware so you'd wipe any root access you had, (unless the custom ROM was pre-rooted), anyway.

hi all whats the best rom for uk galaxy s2 i want to remove that annoying lockscreen  wallpaper and wouldlike something like htc hd2 thanks

[mattj101101]

@MrRdt1970 I think you should have bought an HTC Sensation, that would have been a lot easier for you. I'd recommend LauncherPro paid version for the sense like widgets and app draw, fancy widget for the Sense weather/clock widget and download the JPEG files of the sense wallpapers to finalise your HTC look.... alternatively, sell the SGS2 and buy a Sensation, then HTC do all the work of making it look like a HTC for you.

i downloaded the villain rom and i tried to use odin as you say above but it would not recognize it? try to extract the file but still nothing? what am i doing wrong here

[mattj101101]

@matrixtjoannou26 I guess you either haven't installed Kies or you don't have USB debugging enabled on your phone.
