I flashed cf root with no problems using Odin but I flash the rom using cwm 4 and had problems.

Before or After the rom's zip installation (flashing) do you wipe data/chace factory reset + wipe cache + advanced and wipe dalvik cache?
mostly because of corrupted download

Hey folks. I'm not entirely new to ROM flashing. I've been flashing numerous ROMs on my Diamond, TouchPro2, and Desire. The actual steps and tools are different but the basic principle remain the same. It's just wipe and flash.
But on the SGS2, the process is getting on my nerves. If I simply do a wipe and flash, I ALWAYS get boot loops. I always have to go through the following steps:
1. Wipe and flash stock ROM via ODIN
2. Flash CF-Root via ODIN
3. Boot the device to the setup wizard.
4. Flash "abc" ROM via CWM or ODIN
Is this actually what all you SGS2 ROM flashing veterans do? Or am I doing something wrong?
Also if I'm on a custom ROM, I can't even do a hard reset without encountering boot loops. I'd have to go through those 4 steps again. It's driving me insane...
Don't wipe through recovery. Format through settings.

This doesn't seem to work either. I was just on Lightning ROM and I did a hard reset by going to "Settings > Privacy". That resulted in boot loops...
As of this moment, I just can't seem to figure out how to flash ROMs or hard reset without being at my PC. Does everybody else always rely on their PC for their ROM flashing needs?
Hmm...something seems wrong here. Here is what I do and normally don't have any issues.
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe dalvik cache.
4. Format system.
5. Install the downloaded rom from sdcard OR go to download mode and flash thru odin depending on zip file or odin file.

For a clean phone i format phone through windows . In recovery format system data and sd card .
Should be no problems left on phone .
Install stock rom via Odin followed by cwm and root copy custom rom to sd card and flash .

I know how to get out of bootloops. The question is, how do I flash ROMs without the PC (ie, without having to flash back to stock rom via Odin)?

The instructions for the rom may require you to have a stock rom or not depends upon what the rom builder decides .Some require custom through Odin other via CWM.Most are CWM flashes and do not mention stock rom at all .

So, I've been trying to install the Cyanogenmod for 2 days without success...
This is what I've been doing. Tell me if I do something wrong...
-Start with stock KE2
-Flash CF-Root wich also contains CWM
-Factory reset / Cache wipe
-Put cyanogenmod .zip on the phone
-Boot into recovery
-Select install .zip from sdcard, and I select the zip
-Phone says install succesfull (the install just takes like 3 seconds, is it normal?)
-I go back to the previous menu and select reboot phone
It gets stuck at the black "samsung galaxy s2" screen. I left it for more than 20 minutes that way. Nothing happens.
I just power it off and re-flash a stock firmare via odin...........
This happens with both the stable and the nightly cyanogen mod builds.
Could you help me please?
1) boot into CWM recovery
2) Flash CM7 zip
3) reboot into recovery again
4) flash CM7 zip again
5) wipe data/cache/dalvik cache (you will lose all your app data, but not pictures/media/etc)
6) reboot and wait for it to boot, upto 10min.
Why dont you just flash and cf- root stock rom then thru cwm just install the rom? easy and works, atleast for me it did, got back to stock thu , its better after you freeze all bloatware..
hope it helps

I'll try that. But why flash it 2 times?

So it works? Dunno, it was something todo with differences in the CF-root CWM recovery and the CM7 CWM recovery and busybox.
If you'd bother to read the instructions for flashing CM (which you clearly didn't, else you wouldn't be asking this question), they're pretty clear about the requirement to flash the rom twice. The why is irrelevant. The simple reality is in order for it to function it needs to be flashed twice.
If you haven't already, do yourself a favour and flash the original stock firmware that was on the phone when you bought it before you end up trashing it :-/

Hi
I have a SGSII (i9100) which I have successfully rooted (all "permission" files work ok through Superuser). However, I don't seem to be able to install Clockworkmod or, if successful, then I can't boot normally.
When I try to install CWM via Odin3, it installs ok, but the phone then hangs on the triangle screen. I can boot into the CWM screen where it tells me that it cannot mount to system nor to the cache. Any attempt to reboot normally fails (i.e. it hangs on the triangle screen). Thanks to a kind member helping me, I have been able to recover each time by using the I9100XXKI3.ZIP package.
I have also downloaded Rom Manager and tried to flash CWM from there. That says that it has been successfull, but when I then boot to the recovery, it tells me that "E:failed to verify whole-file signature and e:signature verification failed". Consequently, no CWM, just the usual recovery screen.
Am I missing something? Can someone help, please? At the moment I have root, but can't install any custom roms.
Thanks, masterpointer
Try to flash kernel with cwm. That should do it
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
First thing rom manager is not compatible will the sgs2, second thing it's confusing when you say you restore a .zip as this is done via cwm? In order to get recovery via odin you need to be using an appropriate rooting kernel. When you did manage to get into cwm did you wipe cache and delvik etc?

Download cf root kernel and flash with odin, and you`ll have cwm recovery. Don`t use rom manager with sgs2, never.

I did use an appropriate kernel. I wiped neither the cache nor the delvic cache before flashing, and after flashing I can't as the message says: "e:failure to mount \system" and several massages "e:falure to mount \cache\..."

I take your point regarding Rom Manager. but that aside, I have flashed CWM via Odin3 onto a rooted kernel and it does install, but phone hangs (freezes) on the triangle screen. I have tried several versions of CWM an several rooted kernels. They all install and they all freeze!

Boot in recovery, mount and storage, format system, data,cache. Pull battery out, after 2 min put it back, boot in download mode, start odin, flash stock rom, reboot, reboot again in download mode, then root with cf root kernel. Should solve you problem

I don't have "mount & storage" in recovery. Only Reboot System, Apply update from SD card, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.

You need to install a cwm rooted kernel .
Root + CWM .

yes, but therein lies the problem:
After I use cf-root (with KI4 kernel), the phone hangs (despite Odin3 showing everything ok)! And when i then boot into recovery, it says "e:failure to mount \system" and several massages "e:falure to mount \cache\..." and attempts to "mount" the listed items, all fail.

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Followed by root .

Thanks for your help, but as I said previously, I was unable to do any of your suggestions because as soon as I installed CWM, I was unable to mount the system and the cache.
However, since then I did some further research and came across a forum where several others had the same problem and one of them tried to use "Speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21-Odin.tar" and, lo and behold, that worked for me as well!!!
I know the basics of flashing and I've done it before to unbrick this very same phone (SGS2 SGH-I777) however since then the USB port broke and I cannot update to 4.1.2 without using Mobile Odin. I have purchased the Pro Version and have the flash kernel auto installed so I have the following questions.
- Do I flash the file in .zip or not?
- When I unzip there are 2 files. One of them to flash and the other SS_DL.dll. Do I flash this?
- I plan to clear dalvik cache and data to ensure success.
- I do NOT have CWM Recovery/any other recovery. My phone is completely stock other than being rooted. Can I still flash as this?
- This is a STOCK and OFFICIAL Firmware.
These questions may seem silly but I want to ensure I don't brick my device as if I lose this phone I'm stuck with a Samsung Flight in the meantime. Thanks in advance.
Edit: No data partition was added but everything else was. Is that ok?

I just put the .tar firmware file on my sdcard and then open Mobile Odin Pro and select "Open file..." and navigate to the .tar firmware file and then select it and Mobile Odin will set the partitions for u. All u have to do is tap OK.
Your image looks like Mobile Odin Pro is loaded correctly. U don't flash the.dll file.
U can now select (if u want) Enable EverRoot, Inject SuperSU, Inject Mobile Odin. Wipe data and cache and Wipe Dalvik cache, i would recommend to select also.
Then Flash firmware.
And if u wanna get that micro usb port fixed/replaced, contact mobiletechvideos.com
