In the following article we are going to show you the correct way to update the Samsung Galaxy S2, model GT-I9100 a Android 4.3.
We will achieve this by flashing a cooked rom, specifically the latest work from the developers of ParanoidAndroid 3.99 and based entirely on C.
In other tutorials published in Androidsis We explain how to update the Samsung Galaxy S, the Galaxy S3 and the Samsung Galaxy S4, and how could it be otherwise, now it is the turn of this other sensational Samsung terminal.
Requirements to meet
- Having a Samsung Galaxy S2 model GT-I9100
- Root and modified Recovery
- EFS folder backup
- Nandroid Backup from your system, we do this from the recovery.

Required files
For the correct installation of this rom, we will need to download two compressed files in ZIP format, one with the Gapps or native Google applications and another with the ParanoidAndroid 3.99 rom itself that will update our Samsung Galaxy S2 a Android 4.3.
Once all the requirements have been met and the two compressed files have been copied to the root of the internal memory from our terminal, we will be ready to restart in recovery-mode and proceed with the flash method of the rom.

Hello, I have not found how to modify the Recovery Mode. Any league please?
In the article you have the links to everything you need including the tutorial on how to flash the S2
I already read the ROOT AND RECOVERY MODIFIED link and I don't see where it says how to modify the recovery. Am I missing something?
Look for information about clockwork mod recovery and how to install it that is what the modified recovery is about
What bugs does this rom have?
The rom is beautiful; but i couldn't add any apn; and better install cyanogenmod 10.2 that is very fast, but consumes a little more battery.
Hello, I do not get any option from step 5: "Format preload" only allows me to Format cache, system, data, sdcard, and emmc. If I skip step 5 because I don't see the option, would something happen?
it does not come out. format preload because the version of your recovery is a previous version..minim has to be 6.0.4.4 something like this ..
I installed it last night. Now every time I restart I see the yellow triangle, how can I remove it? Another thing, the GooManager warns me every so often that there is an update of this rom. I have downloaded the one from 10/09/2013, it can be installed from the mobile, right? If I select it and I give "Order & Flash selected", could I do it without giving Wipes, create backup and wipe data? What would happen if I give it to flase without activating those things? Wouldn't I lose the settings and would the rom stay right? Thanks for answering
I have been testing the ROM and my impressions are not favorable, especially with the battery consumption, it is brutal, it only lasts 6 hours and the processor heating is brutal, besides I am short of English, all the configuration is in English, therefore I will return to the previous one until I can populate another. Thanks for the input. All the best
Successfully installed. It is very fine and fluid, but since the microphone does not work, and for me that is essential. I already installed a nexus 4 rom modified for the s2 once and the microphone did not work either. This is essential for me because all the messages, notes and others I write with my voice. It's a shame because this rom is going very well. If you could solve this problem or tell me how I can solve it, I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much for the tutorial. All the best
I retract, if the microphone works perfectly, and the rom is the
more fluid than I have ever seen, it is truly impressive. It goes faster
and fluid that an incredible iphone 5 that they have achieved that an Android
go more fluid than an iOS. With this rom the S2 goes like 3 times more
fluid of what went with the original rom. No lag, jerks or stuff
of that type in no time, it is ultrafast with this rom, and everything works perfectly, although there are
some options that come in English, but almost everything in Spanish.
It helps, I followed the steps but it gave me an error status 7 and now it stays on the main screen, if someone gives me a hand, I appreciate it anyway, I'll try to find something, thank you.
it is very fluid excellent rom
SOMEONE M COULD SAY OR EXPLAIN TNGO A ROM COOKED ANDROID 4.4 OF CYANOGEN 11 AND I WANT TO GO BACK TO PARANOID 3.99 AND GIVES AN ERROR IN THE RECOVERY WHEN GIVING REBOOT SYSTEM. IT TELLS ME THE ROM IS LOST ..
Q AUG .. ???
hello… I did everything and now I can't open the play store… what do I do to fix it?
Hello good! Does anyone know why I get the little colored fish every two by three ... it seems to hang and does a kind of restart. The only downside I have had is that it no longer has a 4 × 3 keyboard with T9 and I have to search for it in google play but they are very bad (I think it is the fault of the android version, not the rom). Is it possible to install the keyboard from an older version of android? Greetings.
If I install this rom, would the phone be released?
