I just got my ATT Galaxy S2 rooted with Method 1 (Flash flashing codeworkx CWM then Super One Click). Before I try to flash CyanogenMod. I'd like to have noob questions.
I'm told that CyanogenMod comes with it's own Kernel, does that mean the flashed codeworkx CWM kernel will be replaced with CM kernel after flashing CM? If so, do I still have ClockworkMod? Does CM kernel also comes with CWM? How could get ClockworkMod to upgrade new CM if I lose CWM?
you will still have cwm recovery once you flash cm7, it may be a slightly different version, but you will still have it.

I've never heard of a CM7 kernel for a Samsung device that didn't have CWM working.
In general, it's VERY rare for a custom kernel not to have CWM. CWM is usually one of the first orders of business for kernel developers on a new device.

Hi, i want to install cm7.1 on my sgs2. it's kernel is XWKF3 at the moment, so i need to flash it with GT-I9100_XWKF3_insecure with odin first but how to get to ClockworkMod Recovery after? do i need to flash another cf kernel? if so, which one?
sorry for noob questions but i never did it before
Just flash the CF kernel, the insecure kernel is to manually root it without CWM. CF root provides both root and CWM

thanks!
so do it with this:
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.zip
an then install cm 7.1 ?

no good idea: cm7.1 is android 2.3.7, kf3 was 2.3.4 (or 2.3.3, it's long ago )!!!
cm7.1 brings it's own kernel with it, you can just stick with that or use the one from Siyah (a custom kernel which i use at the moment, with cm7.1#84), you can find it in the dev section, search for "Siyah-v2.0beta7-CWM"

He's asking what to flash first to gain CWM, so he can later flash CM7
Flash clockworkx's cwm kernel if you want to flash cm7 using rom manager, otherwise use the cf root version which matches your rom version, then flash cm7 via cwm recovery, may need to flash the zip twice.

Only cm7 kernel or Siyah kernel are the only ones which work, and the stock cm7 kernel is good!

DON'T use the CWM installed by cf root kernel to flash CM7. The CWM that comes with cf root is a modified version of CWM that isn't compatible with CM7 or ROM manager.
For this reason, if you want to flash CM7, just root your phone however you want and then flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 . This kernel will install a compatible unmodified version of CM7 so you can flash CM7 with no problems.
I'm not a developer but I know from previous roms I've used that there is a touch version of CWM. I'm on wanamlite ICS 12.2 which doesn't use the touch based version. I'm wondering if I can flash a CWM touch version over this existing one on a Phenomenal 5.5 Medium kernel?
No. Recovery is baked into the kernel. Any recovery you flash independently of the kernel will only persist until you reboot. Then it's gone & you're back to whatever recovery is supplied with the kernel.
If you really want touch recovery (why people get barred up over this I have no idea. I mean, how much time per week does one spend in recovery flashing/backing/up restoring...All of 20 minutes ?), use a kernel which has it.
Never knew that it was a part of the kernel, thanks!
If you want touch recovery, flash Siyah kernel.

Dear all,
The official latest CWM release for i9100 is v5.8.3.1 (see www.clockworkmod.com). Is there an official (or fully working version) of CWM 6.0.3.x for the i9100? For e.g. T-Mobile there is a release available. Can I use this as well?
for now, I can also flash Philz kernel to get CWM v6.0.3.2, but I first want to have a separate CWM version installed. Thanks for help.

I'm also trying to install/flash latest cwm without being part of any kernel / mod. Did you have any luck with that?
Philz IS stock kernel.....no tweaks, no mods......other than CWM and root.......afaik.....if you want a (cwm + root) stock phone, philz will give you that.......
My Wife says I'm a phone geek.....
I'd have to agree.....
I don't see why I should install a kernel, even stock, when only recovery partition needs changing. In most phones there are flashable files through adb, or similar ways, to install cwm. Will it work through rom manager app?
I'm not sure about just CWM on its own. It probably does exist. Just needed to jump in quick.... DO NOT use ROM manager on an i9100. Sure-fire way to screw things up /brick.
Ps. Keith is right, the only thing different about PhilZ kernel is recovery and it's rooted. Nothing else is changed.
Sent from a galaxy far, far away
And when you add the fact that it can be flashed using the stock recovery.........
It doesn't get any easier, safer or straightforward than that. No disrespect intended, but I can't see the problem with doing it this way.......
My Wife says I'm a phone geek.....
I'd have to agree.....
You really are trying to make this as difficult as possible for yourself, aren't you ?
Take the good advice you've been given; particularly the bit about staying away from Rom Manager unless you want to find out why you don't use it with the SGS2 the hard way.
Will do that... however, I'll try to make a flashable zip (with stock recovery) of latest cwm alone, and will report back... just in case someone wants it in the future.

But then, ok, suppose i flash terra silent on android 2.3.6; later i can just flash for example, PA or Pacman rom? would this flash replace my current kernel? will i have a recovery or just stock recovery with PA or Pacman or any other ROM i flash? wont those Roms includes their kernels?
sorry im so noob on this devices, i've been flashing on nexus4, galaxy ace, etc but never needed a kernel for CWM

Hmm I think even though you have a galaxy ace, it seems that it's not the same thing as us. As you've seen with nexus devices, you've 1 separate partition for recovery, another one for kernel. Thing is with the original line of Galaxy S devices (maybe I9100 too i'm not sure), the recovery and the kernel are made into one single binary. So by that fact, if you flash a rom like PA, pacman or CM10.1-10.2, It will replace your current kernel and recovery like any other custom rom made for it. You can see daniel644's installation video to see how the process is done.
Hope this helps.
Hey guys.
I just bought a samsung tab 2 10.1 and want to flash it to cyanogen to get the multiple users that comes with android 4.2.x
I havent flashed in a while since i updated my i9100 to 4.1.2, so i thought best to flash my i9100 to cyanogen first to try it out as my phone is already rooted. I found a few guides for installing cyanogen to my phone using cwm recovery to install from the SD card.
I remember rooting my device back when i updated it to 4.1.2 but when i tried to boot into cwm is would boot into the stock android recovery.
so i figured i needed to flash cwm recovery.
after checking all kies processes were stopped i flashed the kernel "GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4" , but the phone would not boot and hang at start screen.. as a plus side i now had access to cwm recovery from boot... ironic.
so i booted into cwm recovery thinking to install cyanogen mod as i thought maybe the rom wasn't compatible with the kernel?
but noticed that the cyanogen rom was not present on the menu in cwm recovery, must of put it in the wrong place. I was now thinking to get my phone to boot into 4.1.2 that should still be on the phone, since the current kernel wasn't working i flashed "Siyah-v5-MCM-i9100-vsync_sysfs-20130217" in hopes it would be compatible.. still no luck with it booting. but i still have access to CWM recovery.
Any thoughts on how i should proceed? if i can get cyanogen onto the SD card should i install it via CWM?
little lost at the moment. been a while since i done all this.
here is the information i noted down before i started today.
4.1.2
i9100xxls8
3.0.31-863787 [email protected] #3 smp preempt thu jan 31 12:20:07 kst 2013

Philz kernel lss flash that through odin. Reboot to recovery, do the wipes and and reboot. 4.1.2 should boot up then. Then move custom rom to int sd and flash away. Philz installs custom cwm. Once you have flash custom rom philz will be replaced with stock custom kernel with cwm built in to it.

I'll give it a shot, is the Philz kernel you mentioned this one?;
<< 03.06.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 with CWM 6.0.3.2 based recovery >>
I'm not to sure what kernel version i need.
how would i find out this information ?
Many thanks.
Edit:
I noticed in my previous notes i made when first flashing my phone a year or so ago. The kernel i used was this;
3.0.15-I9100BGLP8-CL317471 [email protected]#3
It is now kernel version;
3.0.31-863787 [email protected] #3 smp preempt thu jan 31 12:20:07 kst 2013
which has no reference to previous kernels. but my current baseband version is: i9100xxls8
LS8 stands out in both... so would using PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSY-ORA-5.10.0.tar.md5 work on my phone?
Lss will work as it for 4.1.2 it just has newer cwm installed.tar is for odin. You could get the zip one and put on an sd card put bk in your phone and flash it like that. Make sure its zip not tar for flashing in cwm.
Thanks

By 'compatible', you mean the kernel works with many ROMs?
Philz is a stock based kernel. So it only works on stock based ROMs, and depends on the android version and the build versions (like LSS, LSJ, LSD etc). Siyah is more compatible, because it only depends on the android version (like JB, ICS or GB).
You had a bootloop before after flashing Siyah mcm kernel, because the mcm kernel supports AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs, not stock JB.

To avoid bootloops after flashing a kernel, use these tips:
1. Flash only kernels supported by your current firmware. Suppose you are running stock JB and you want to flash AOSP 4.2.2 ROM. You might be tempted to flash Siyah mcm kernel (because it supports AOSP 4.2.2). But that would end up in a bootloop as Siyah mcm doesn't support stock JB! :good:
2. Use a kernel cleaning script before flashing any kernels. :good:

Thanks for your reply, i have a few questions to try and understand.
Would i be right in saying;
When im looking to install a new kernel and/or Rom. My check list should be;
1. Kernel to phone compatability. I.e my phone is LS8 so i look for LSS/LSY/LSD soforth and so-on.
2. Kernel to Romcompatability. I.e Philz is a stock kernal hence why it works with 4.1.2 stock Rom.
So if i want to install Resurection Remixed i believe its a modified stock Rom so it should work with Philz?
As would cyanogenmod as it is modified stock?
Or is even that modified to much?
If i want to change both kernel and Rom, would it work if i installed for example siyah kernel then boot into CWM recovery and installed from there a new Rom?
Im looking to try out a few roms on my i9100, mainly Reserection remix, and other cyanogenmod clones with light modification as i enjoy the stock android experiance.
Also looking to install cyanogenmod to my p5100 tab. Flashing Philz p5100 kernal and then installing superuser through recovery and then installing cyanogenmod 10 stable version?
thanks for reading and taking the time to anwser my previous questions.
Many thanks

Don't worry, things can be a bit hard to digest at first.
Let me make it easier:
1. U are currently using a stock or custom ROM, but you want to change the kernel (without any plans to flash a new ROM). In this case, you need to select a kernel that is compatible with your current ROM.
2. U are on a stock ROM, and you need to flash a custom ROM. You want to flash a kernel to root it and install CWM (to enable u to flash a new ROM). In this case also, u should flash a kernel that supports your current stock ROM.
3. U are on a custom ROM, and you want to try another custom ROM (which may require another kernel to support it). In this case, you DON'T need to flash a new kernel that will support ur new ROM. You can flash the new ROM directly. All custom ROMs come with their own supported kernels bundled in the ROM. So, after flashing the new ROM, your current kernel will be REPLACED by a supported one from the new ROM.
Better?

So my breakdown would be I'm using a Stock ROM with Philz kernel rooted and CWM. I want to Install Resurrection Remix which is a 4.2.x ROM, Philz is a 4.1.x Kernel so i need to install a new kernel to support Resurrection Remix? or would that come with its own Kernel?
And for my tablet. I flash Philz kernel and install superuser to root the device. so now its stock Rom with Philz kernel. So when i install Cyanogenmod Rom it will install its own Kernel or do i also need to install a Kernel that supports 4.2.x?
Or is it Firmware version based Kernel updates that happen when you install and new custom ROM?
i.e Running 4.1.x kernel and installing a 4.1.x Custom ROM will update the kernel, but installing a 4.2.x ROM will not?
vice versa Running a 4.2.x kernel and installing a 4.2.x ROM will update the kernel, but installing a 4.1.x ROM will not?
Kind Regards, I appreciate your time for reading my mind numbing questions.

For you i9100 just flash the rom using philz cmw recovery and once its done you will have a custom rom with custom cm kernel which is rooted and has cwm with it. I would say to format system ,data, cache and preload before you flash it using philz recovery and make sure the rom and gapps is on int sd card were you can find it.
As for the tablet make sure philz is compatible with that tablet first!! Dont just flash it on that thinking because its 4.1.2 it will work.
Btw with philz also come with root access too.

Don't overcomplicate stuff mate. When you flash a ROM, the kernel contained in the ROM will be replace your current kernel. Simple.
Thanks a lot!!!
I installed RR to my i9100 and cm10.1 to my p5100.
I'm having a little trouble with i9100 device though, I keep getting random sim locks on the device.. Not sure what could be causing it. It didn't happen on stock 4.1.2.
The devices will be locked and when I wake it I get prompted for the sim lock code. I now have the sim lock on my phone deactivated but I'm fearful that even thought I am not getting prompted for the sim code, the sim could be de-activated while the phone is in sleep thus not connect to the network?
Could be a loss of signal activate a security feature of the sim. Or a problem with the kernel?
Kind regards.
Many many thanks for all your advice into helping me understand a little better.

If you're sim locked, then you want the app 'Galaxsim unlock'. Search for the xda thread, the OP is spocky12 if that helps you find it. It won't be kernel related. And, test it for yourself. See if you get messages /calls / push notifications while your screen is off & phone is sleeping.

The i9100 was originally sim locked, but I paid someone to unlock it, once I got the phone back from him "unlocking" it. It was apparent that he has flashed the device with a new kernel and ROM in order to unlock it... Not to sure of the process. A couple months later I flashed 4.1.2 as it wasn't available as a update on the ROM he installed. The phone re-sim locked and I downloaded the app you mentioned and unlocked the phone successfully, been happily using it up until I installed RR. Now I'm suffering from random pin locks. The phone connects to the network and functions perfectly, apart from said sim locks.
My only fear is missing important calls if this lock is causing network disconnections. Can I log network functions and connectivity to see what's causing it?
