We already have a Rom here CyanogenMod 11 with A for Samsung Galaxy S2 model GT-I9100. A fully functional Rom that will help us unofficially update our terminal to the most chocolatey version of Android.
How can you check in the forum itself HTC mania, where is the original Rom thread, this does not have any bug worth commenting on and is valid for a normal daily use.
Requirements to install this Rom
- 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.
- Fully charged battery
- USB debugging enabled from the system settings.
If you want the installation of the Rom to be perfect and not return any error from Recovery, it is necessary to update the Recovery to the version 6.0.4.4, this version will already be installed if you are in Android 4.3 through CyanogenMod 10.2. If you are not on this version of Android I recommend that you continue the steps of this tutorial where I explain how to update the S2 to Android 4.3 step by step.
Required files
We will need to download two files compressed in ZIP that later we will have to copy in the internal memory of the terminal to flash:
- Rom CyanogenMod 11 for Samsung Galaxy S2
- Google Gapps for Android 4.4 Kit Kat.
Rom flashing method
We restart the terminal in recovery mode and we follow these steps to the letter:
- Wipe data factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
- Mounts and storage and we format everything except emmc or internal sdcard and external sdcard
- Go back
- Install zip from sdcard
- choose zip
- We select the zip of the gapps and flash them
- Choose zip again
- We select the zip of the Rom and confirm its installation
- Choose zip one more time
- We select the zip of the gapps and we flash them again
- Wipe cache partition
- Advanced / wipe dalvik cache
- Reboot system now.
We wait for the Samsung Galaxy S2 model GT-I9100 and we can now enjoy the latest version of A in this sensational terminal from Samsung that still has a long battle.

Francisco, I updated to CM 11 (kitkat) and the SD card does not work in this version, will there be a way to activate it or is it because of deafult that it is that way?
I get an error when installing the ROM «(Status 7)», it throws me. Any solution??
It is not worth this rom with a GALAXY S1, gti9000.
Arbitrary restarts if you raise the Overclock to 1200.
Lenta.
Too many serial system apps that are NOT required.
Anyway, with the greenify, the swaper and the sd booster, it still goes ... but I said, without overclock. And with 300mb of memory, I put the national radio app (on demand), send a wasap file and ……… .PTRRRRRRRRRRRRR …… .. memory failure with a horrible sound that forces me to restart.
I don't know .. I'm not convinced.
