I highly recommend flashing the full rom! (updates can be unpredictable)

BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!
Download the rom zip from below (don't rename it!)
Put the downloaded zip file on your internal sdcard
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (don't do this from rom manager, it won't work)
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Browse for zip on sdcard
Select the zip file you put on your sdcard above
(Let if flash)

maybe you lost root with flash to stock (by the way you must have stock KE7).

In CWM the first option is to Reboot into ClockWorkMode recovery.

yes best way to install cognition rom (because the rom is based on XWKE7)
1) flash stock XWKE7 rom with odin
2) flash CF root for XWKE7
3) download cognition rom 1.07 and put it on /sdcard/external sd-card
4) boot with 3 keys into CWMrecovery
5) choose cognition_s2_107.zip file on sdcard and flash this wonderful rom
so i have done

Questions, if you don't mind:
I rooted ages ago and apparently a lot has changed since then..new roms/kernels and other stuff.
First, I think 1) and 2) are understandable. Get 1) from Intratech's thread, flash with Odin. Get 2) from ChainFire's thread, flash with Odin. I can do this on my existing kernel, right? I have PDA: XWKE2
- Where do I get CWMrecovery from? It's not in the Market.
- How do I boot with three keys?
Everything in this section .

When you flash a CWM kernel, you ARE rooted! Just follow the steps provided in the Cognition thread. If you're not rooted and have no CWM, do it first with the link provided by JJEgan.
Hi, I just rooted my SGS2, and now I want to flash MIUI Rom. I have a couple of questions.
1. Do I NEED a micro SD card to do this.
2. Is is safe to download Rom Manager and flash Clockwork mod?
Search is your friend.
you could have just answered my question.
Anyone just want to verify if it's safe for me to flash CWM from Rom Manager app?
I happen to be on KH3 if that matters. (flashed KH3 before rooting) used DooMLorDs script to root.
1. no, you copy the rom to the phones internal memory
2. no, flash a cf-root kernel

If I've already rooted using DoomLords exploit is is okay to flash Cf-Root over that?
Also, how come every bit of research says that I can't flash a rom from internal storage - but you say I can? Don't I have to Wipe Data/etc? Wouldn't that delete anything on the internal storage.
You can use your usb internal storage to flash a rom.
Also, note that cf-root recovery is not the original cwm recovery. It's modified.
You can flash any other kernel with cwm recovery if you want. (codeworkx/siyah/ninphetamine/speedmod, etc)
And, ROM manager flashing cwm is actually fake. Our GS2 can get cwm recovery only by flashing a kernel that has cwm.

The 16gb's of memory on the phone is basically split into two parts, around 3gb's or so is used/available for the os while the rest 12gb is available to you to do as you wish, that's where you're copying the files to.
If you do a wipe from cwm it only deletes the files from the 3gb section while leaving the 12gb portion intact.
If you install titanium backup you'll see this info at the bottom in the overview section, you'll see the system rom/internal/sdcard partitions.
Okay let's do this!
You said you had a rooted device, so here's all the steps:
1. FLASH A KERNEL THAT IS CAPABLE OF HAVING A CWM RECOVERY, e.g. Ninphetamine
2. Go to Market and download ROM manager
3. Launch ROM manager and then click Flash Recovery, I suggest twice just in case
4. From this website, download MIUI for your device: http://miuiandroid.com/roms/miui-development-roms/
5. After you finish downloading, make sure you have your device in Debugging mode in Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Debugging Mode, plug your device in, and drag down the notification bar, click on the USB popup, and click Connect.
6. Drag the file into the internal SD card (should have files and folders like update.zip, gameloft, android, etc), then unplug the device.
7. Power down the device and then use the button combo: Power + Vol Up + Home to enter recovery, if it fails to enter CWM Recovery, power down and try again.
8. Click Wipe Data, Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache (this is in Advanced) after that, click on the power button to go back a menu
8. Click Install .zip from sdcard and then navigate to the .zip file you placed in your internal sdcard
9. I suggest installing it twice just to be sure.
Hope this helps
If you haven't rooted, just use odin to flash a rooted kernel (like cf-root, ninphetamine, Siyahkernel, speedmod, etc). Most of them come with cwm, where you can flash any other rooted kernel as you desire (in recovery mode or through the CWM app).
If you've already rooted but the kernel you root your phone with doesn't come with cwm, do the same as above.
ROM manager doesn't work with most of the kernels (ie. Read the cf-root kernel thread). But you can download the CWM app - search (works on cyanogenmod though). Most custom rom will come with it. What it does is to allow you to boot into cwm recovery mode to flash things.
It's all safe. Should anything go wrong, just boot into download mode and follow the first step again.
The "root" is actually part of a kernel hence "rooted kernel". So when people say you won't lose your root when you flash other roms/kernels is because you essentially flash another rooted kernel over your already-rooted kernel.
CWM recovery mode comes with most kernels. This is why when you flash different kernels you'll get the different cwm recovery version that comes with the different kernels.

er no you dont need root....
1. Download any version of CWM from here
2. Get desired rom (kernel too if you want)
3. Place everything in Externel SDcard
4. Boot into stock recovery (Power+Home+Vol up)
5. Use stock recovery to flash CWM
6. Backup Current stock rom
7. Wipe the usual
8. Flash Custom rom (Or just kernel)
9. Reboot
10. ?? Profit ??
Now you got Custom rom or Kernel + Full stock rom backup (can always get stock rom from sammobile if you lose it)

Ok, but I figure if your going to flash a Custom Rom you might aswell be rooted.
Hello,
Simple way to root and unroot stock kernel without flashing insecure kernel.
Don't worry about custom counter and yellow triangle, with this method they never appear, because we only rooting, it's a rooting script not a custom kernel.
This rooting script included Busybox installer.
Rooting :
Download this File first and put in your SDCARD
- CWM via stock recovery or download zip
- SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD
Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Rooted
Unroot :
Download this File first and put in your SDCARD
- CWM via stock recovery or download zip
- SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard
Choose and Install SU-Uninstaller-Signed.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Unrooted
Tested on latest stock Galaxy S II ICS rom.
Tested on latest Galaxy Note by some user (thanks for report)
Note: This method should work for other device with ICS rom, check CWM that compatible for your device.
You can download all the zip files from this thread. ROOT/UNROOT ZIP Files
If it helps than dont forgot to hit THANKS Button.
Thanks,
I don't think this thread is necessary, since the original one is still active and is being used by other members.
Exactly. Duplication. And if it belongs anywhere it belongs in General, not Q&A

Hello,
is there any easy way to backup my original factory firmware so after I flash a new ROM and I won't like it I can revert back to what factory gave me?
Best you can do is root your phone, and do a nandroid backup in CWRecovery before doing anything else to the phone (flashing a custom rom/kernel/etc). This will give you a 'snapshot' of your stock setup only with root, and all you'd need to do to unroot is flash a stock kernel.
Or you can simply flash a stock rom with Odin over whatever you have at the time.
There's no way to do what you're asking with a stock/unrooted phone.
As mentioned above u can't do it with out rooting. First root your phone without flashing any custom rom or kernel by pasting the zip file in ext sd and apply update using stock recovery. Then download recovery tools from play store and get your temporary cwm touch recovery. After this go to stock recovery and apply this zip. Then do a nandroid backup and reboot after it finishes. You'll have the exact stock rom, kernel and recovery. :good:

I know you guys here don't like such questions, but can I ask for links to that tools? I got S2 Root file but it has to be flashed via Odin. What recovery tools from Play Store? You mean this?: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=pl
How can I get "my temporary CWM touch recovery"? What ZIP to apply then? Geez! Am I that stupid or it is just language issue? Hahaha

Dont worry dude. i'll try and explain as much as i can.
1. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794 and choose the Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed.zip or Root_SuperSU.0.98.Only-signed.zip from the attachments.
2. Paste it in your ext sd card and power off.
3. Reboot into recovery mode and choose apply update from sdcard and select the SuperSU file.
4. Now reboot your device and it will be successfully rooted and SuperSU will be installed.
5. Download temporary cwm recovery from their website or get it via recovery tools in play store. (link provided by you is correct except for different language i think )
6. Paste cwm.zip it in ext sd and reboot into recovery mode. apply update and you will get temporary cwm recovery.
7. Now you can take backup from it. it will backup all your data and both rom, kernel and even recovery will be stock.
Be careful while flashing roms or kernels though. :good:
