Hey guys I currently have CM 7 and I find that its just not for me. I wish to go back to complete stock. The process just consists of getting odin up and running while phone is in download mode, and flash the rom file in the pda slot and modem in phone slot. I read something about going into 3e after reflashing and doing a wipe/factory reset? it this necessary?
I was also curious about the Unnamed Rom listed here; can i just flash that straight from cm7? this is the guy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299474
Im guessing the process from cm7 goes as follows,
Reboot into cwm
wipe/factory
wipe cache partition
install unnamed rom. does that sound right?
Thanks for the help guys.
I also didn't like cm7 and went back to stock. You don't have to flash the modem because it should still be the same one. Just flash the rom in pda and you should be back to stock in a flash. I had to boot into 3e and wipe/factory reset because the phone was stuck in the ATT logo. booting into 3e is easy just press vol + vol- and power while off with no cable attached.

If you are currently on cm7 then yes that should work to install unnamed rom. If you flash to stock you lose cwm and get 3e

Yes, although wipe/factory includes wipe cache so wipe cache is not needed if you did a wipe factory.
mille grazie=)

Ok so my Galaxy S2 i9100 arrived today!
I began by flashing VillainRom 1.1 and then decided to give Litening Rom a try, fired up odin, selected the rom and hit start. It completed but instead of rebooting the phone has gone into an endless reboot cycle, just showing the boot screen over and over.
I pulled the battery and am reflashing now, it that doesn't work where do I go from here?
Cheers
Edit: Nope, still not booting up properly
You go to the OP of the VillainROM thread and read the words in big red letters.

So if I reflash VillainRom then enter recovery, wipe user data and THEN install Litening Rom it should work?
Or have I permanantly screwed my phone?
Edit: So I reflashed Villain and it booted up fine, I went into recovery as suggested and selected wipe user data. After that finished I held the power button down until the phone turned off, then booted into downlaod mode and flashed litening. Same problem occurred, I tried this two more times but both to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers
flash to stock KE7, then boot into recovery, select wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, boot into download mode, flash lite'ning rom, then then it should work 100%.
oh and btw, as long as you can boot into recovery/download mode, your device isn't bricked.

KE means after KD but before KJ ,just as A is before C .
Stock roms dev page .

Worked brilliant, thanks
I had a similar problem, but I solved it by just booting into recovery mode, wiping data(/factory reset) and dalvik cache and then just flashing then ROM through "download" mode.
I did not have to flash any stock ROM prior to that. Just these two simple steps!
Hi there, I need your help and advice please.
Here’s my problem. My phone is the SGS2 running KI3 rooted with CF-root KI3 flashed the secure kernel and then flashed the zImage so I still have root CWM and to get rid of the yellow triangle. I have downloaded CM nightly 88 to my laptop and transferred it to my S2 via usb cable into the download folder.
Here’s where the problem comes into play when I run CF’s CWM and choose reboot into recovery I do a wipe/factory reset / wipe cache and update via sdcard, I pick the cm88 from the download folder and it starts to update and then stops. I reboot and it’s stuck on the Samsung S2 page (boot loop). I then have to get into the recovery and restore my phone to the previous state. Can someone help me I would like to try the CM’s custom rom but don’t know what I’m doing wrong? Thanks.
i have the exact same problem!

me2 only stock roms work for me =(
I think there was an issue with the version of CWM used on the CF-roots since it's been modified by CF and because it's an older version.
After you've rooted with CF, try flashing a kernel on there with a newer version of CWM on there (I used codeworkx's kernel from the Cyanogenmod wiki I've attached below with CWM 4.0.1.4).
Once this kernel is on there, then try flashing the CM7 ROM as per this thread. I prefer flashing from recovery myself, but it's your call.
Make sure you flash it twice in a row if you're having issues.
The problem, as stated above is that cf root kernel installs a modified version of CWM that won't work with CM7. Another thing is you have to flash a stock KH3 because KI3 has the new bootloader (unless you flashed KI3 with the old bootloaders). Then, you have to flash the codeworkx kernel so you get a compatible version of CWM. Once in CWM clear data factory reset + clear cache partition + clear dalvik cache (from advanced).
THIS IS IMPORTANT: Flash the ROM from sd card and when finish do not reboot device, just flash it again without wiping anything in between, just 2 consecutives "install from sd card". When this is done you can reboot the system and then enter again to CWM to flash the google apps .zip file that you can download from the CM7 thread.
Hope this helped. When I flashed CM7 i had exactly the same problem and went back to stock cause it was a pain in the ass to flash it fr the first time. But once you get in CM7, everything becomes great and easy, and you can update the nighlies directly from ROM manager without doing any wiping. You just can't use ROM manager when getting to CM7 for the first time.

DO NOT use cf-root to install CM7. It's stated by Codeworkx a lot of times in CM Q&A thread. Just flash his kernel to get cwm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
Now you have the original cwm recovery (from Koush). Boot into recovery, Wipe data, cache, dalvik.
Install CM7 twice in a row without rebooting.
Then flash gapps (without rebooting) http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip.
Now reboot. Wait for a few mins since system has to build dalvik cache. And you're all good to go
Worried about yellow triangle? Get a usb jig.
Siyah kernel 2.0 supports CM7 and miui. So....have fun.....!!

Great thanks for the help it worked I'm now running CM7. One thing though I can make calls but have lost my network connection. Can someone help me with this? Sorry for all the questions I'm new to the whole smartphone business. Thanks.
Ok all fixed up thanks for all your help.
I am using the latest Unnamed 1.1.0 ROM and when I use the shutdown feature, the phone will shutdown, but then reboot immediately. For my install I wiped both data cache and delvik cache before installing, however, I didn't flash from a stock 2.3.4 ROM. Since the directions did not say that was needed, is that not the case, or is this a known bug with unnamed 1.1.0?

If you did not flash from stock 2.3.4 rom and you did not flash from the
previous version of the UnNamed rom that means that you forgot to do a
"Wipe data/Factory Reset" in the clockworkmod recovery before flashing
the UnNamed rom.
Your best bet is to reflash the UnNamed rom but this time when you are in
the clockworkmod menu (CWM recovery) select the "Wipe Data/FActory Reset"
before you flash the rom. (you may want to do a titanium backup of your apps first)
Good Luck!
Also, if you install a theme from a different ROM, the shutdown menu may become rearranged or even nonfunctional.
Thanks Misterjunky, I'll give that a try. Coming from the Samsung Captivate I find the new ROM process a little frustrating. I have been using ODIN to flash the Clockwork (CW) Recovery kernel, then install ROMs via the CW menu. Two questions:
-Is the Wipe Data/Factory reset right there next to the devlik/cache clear on the first CW screen or hidden in advanced?
-Is there an easier way to flash ROMs other than pushing the CW kernel via ODIN?

The "Wipe data/factory reset" is in the default screen which you see first.
Also you only need to flash the odin3 kernel once, not everytime you flash a custom rom.
(SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.TAR - kernel).
The reason is, that if coming from STOCK Gingerbread 2.3.4 rom we cannot flash any custom
roms without first flashing the odin flash kernel because the stock rom does not have a CWM
Recovery compatible kernel.
The other kernels you see here in XDA for our phones are CWM flash zipfiles which we can flash
since after flashing the custom odin3 kernel we now have a kernel that has CWM Recovery
built-in which is required for flashing any compatible custom roms, kernels, themes and other
modifications. (Which are all zipfiles ) - I hope this explains it.
Thanks for the info Misterjunky, that helped. Unnamed isn't rebooting on power any more either. Reinstalled, no issues, must've forgotten to clear both options prior to install.
I have a galaxy S2 I9100M with bell mobility with ICS 4.0.3. It is rooted and running siyah kernel 4.1.2. And for some reason it will not flash ANY Rom. I do the whole wipe process. install the rom. and the phone just gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Won't boot into recovery only download mode? so i have to re flash my stock firmware through odin. I have tried many roms, all with the same outcome? I had previously flashed paranoid 4.1.1 and CM9 9.0.0 before but now it will not let me boot either. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Sorry about that bro.
Visit this thread, for possible solution to your problem
Good luck
Something I do now after flashing a custom ROM is to "format /system" from the mount menu in recovery and also "fix permissions". Might be worth a try. Also, you could try removing folders on your SD card that contain data that are interfering with booting a custom ROM.
---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------
Sorry, I should clarify what I said above, as format /system is done prior to flashing. What I do is:
Wipe data/factory reset
Mounts and storage-> Format /system
Flash custom ROM
Wipe Cache
Advanced-> Wipe dalvik cache
Fix permissions
Reboot
Thank's for the responses. I have tried both options and neither work. I managed to flash cm9 through odin but the gapps won't flash threw cwm and the home button is unresponsive in the rom. Very frustrating.

Yea i noticed that. I'm just going to keep it stock I don't want to damage it worse then it is.
Do i need to delete dalvik cache when installing stock rom?.. i just want to install fresh stock rom on my phone to start out clean. (it already has stock though)
if you are flashing with Odin then no, just did clean install myself today, wiped evening apart from external sd....phone probably won't boot after flash, so if that happens just boot into 3e recovery and do factory reset, reboot and all will be good.
XXBLG8 seems a good ics base to use. Feel free to pm me if you are unsure of anything
