Right, I finally overcame my fears and successfully flashed my SGS II<br>
I9100 in Linux yesterday.<br>
<br>
I'll be as detailed as I can, but ultimately exact instructions would<br>
depend on which ROM you want to flash.<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the details. I have an SGS "1" (I9000) but hearing about another success with Heimdall let my trust in it grow a little more.<br></div>

4) There's a Heimdall GUI which I didn't use (since it's not updated for<br>
the latest version).<br></blockquote><div><br>Heimdall 1.1.0 GUI claims to be forward compatible with 1.2.0 back-end so I used the GUI and followed the instructions in <a href="http://bit.ly/lkp6Zq">http://bit.ly/lkp6Zq</a> and got Samsung 2.3.4 ROM on my phone.<br>

Let me know if anything wasn't clear, and good luck :)<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm now struggling with the following, though this might not be the right forum for such questions:<br><br>1. I lost root after the flash. All links point to GingerBreak but multiple attempts didn't work. I now read that someone noticed it's done after leaving it for 2.5 hours so I'll try it again - I stopped it after letting it run for an hour. If you know of anything better then I'd love to hear.<br>
<br>2. Hebrew keyboard - in Froyo I used "Keyboard from Gingerbread" with a Hebrew language pack, both from the market. But the Hebrew language pack says it doesn't suite a "real" gingerbread environment.<br>
<br>3. Battery life - what else can I do to extend it as this was my main problem with Froyo and I'm not sure how well GB does so far (but only one day of experience).<br><br></div>Cheers,<br><br>--Amos<br><br></div>
