[Q] Flashing speedmode Kernel on a rooted phone with CM7 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I have just flashed my phone with the ""speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-10-Odin.tar" Kernel using Odin, Every thing went well.
After Odin reset the phone I can see the galaxy s2 logo on start up but after that the phone goes black.
I can go into download mode but I heard good things about speedmode and i want to try it.
so does speedmode incompatible with cm7 ?
do I have to go back to the CM7 Kernel (ATINM)?

No, speedmod is not compatible with CM7.

Try entering recovery mode and reflash cm7 to fix the issue

You are in the wrong forum, and you are hijacking a thread for an off-topic post.
Please try again in the Galaxy Note forum.
And if you try to flash a kernel meant for a GT-I9100 to your GT-N7000, you will NOT like the result.

[Q] Stuck at Boot - Samsung I9100G

Hello gurus,
I got a SGS2 I9100G. I tried to flash the CF-Root kernel in order to root but it failed.
I then went to download mode and tried to install Litening rom.
it always fail at the modem part.
I am so stupid that I did not first check the firmware version already installed !
I am now trying to re-install a stock version and none is working.
I tried vilain rom 1 (supposed to wipe everything) it completes with no error , but it stays stuck at the writing Samsung I9100G . (not the Samsung logo).
I can not go into the recovery mode.
I tried to flash a kernel and things got worse... now I have the 2 computers screen.... Please helppppppppppppppp
Thanks
Ok looks like what you've done is flash software meant for the I9100 model and not the I9100G.
Search through the threads till you find threads specifically about the G model. Read and read a lot. Not joking...read a lot.
Your gonna need Odin, gonna need to boot into download mode and gonna need to flash firmware for the I9100G model.
Hope this points you in the right direction.

You think that flashing a firmware for I9100G will solve the issue ?

Yes. The I9100 and the I9100G are two different devices.

Weird problem upgrading to Stock ICS

Hi guys,
1. I have a problem of flashing stock ICS straight from a 2.3.4 Checkrom V4
2. I used ODIN and flashed UK based ICS (I9100XWLPT) and everything when well, i could start and setup as per normal, thing is, it is UNROOTED.
3. So i flashed CF-ROOT (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5.zip) to I9100XWLPT as this is the closest and the fact that the ICS Stock firmware modem is (Modem: XXLQ6) via Odin (Tar file in PDA and Flash)
4. Now, i could not boot the phone, it goes to the normal startup (the one with yellow triangle) and then it goes blank forever. I tried reflash kernel, i tried factory reset and everything and it goes blank.
5. So i flash the recovery package, i tried flashing bootloader first, it tried flashing kernel first then flash the ics recovery package, but everytime when i flash my Odin will hang/Not Responding. I tried factory reset, i tried taking out batt and leave for minutes and reflash again but still, my ODIN hang.
6. So i restore via nandroid backup, and then tried to reflash stock firmware as i did initially but still, ODIN hang.
7. So i thought maybe i could flash to 2.3.6 Checkrom V6 but still, when i tried to flash the ICS Firmware, my odin will hang.
Please help me guys on what should i do, i truly apologize for the long post and i might sound confusing but i hope you could advice me on what to do. I really want to use ICS but now still stuck on Checkrom V6 2.3.6 Android.
Ok you have a sound nandroid back up that's good. Try this its what I used to go to stock LPT. Flash it through PDA in odin like before then root with Galaxian kernel again through PDA in odin. It's specific for 4.0.4 ROMs. Alternatively there are pre- rooted, modified stock ROMs in the android development forum. All the best.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion but like i mentioned in No 5 & No 6, ODIN will hang everytime i flash something and then it will say FAIL.
which version of odin are you using. the newer 3.0.4 or the older version?
4.0.4 roms work with odin 3.0.4 not old er versions.

Hi, i have found the SOLUTION
If the SGS2 is from Gingerbread or to be exact, from Checkrom V6 and below.
I have to flash rom from Hydяa-H²o first and then i can move on to any other ICS ROM without having te flash brick issue.
e.g: If i flash Resurrection Remix to Checkrom V6, i will facing the Flash Brick issue and the only solution to this is to restore your nandroid backup. Try everything recovery etc etc, would not work.
I have to flash Hydra Rom first to Checkrm V6 and then moved to Resurrection Remix. Thats the only workable way for now.
I can confirmed this as i tried this on 3 of my friend Samsung Galaxy S2. As the explanation for this, i did not know but it works.
Just for the record, you flashed the wrong kernel version.
You're supposed to look at kernel version, not baseband!

Help just updated to 4.0.4 and lost root

I have just updated to 4.0.4 on my galaxy s2 and have lost root. Ive looked about the forums and am really unsure of how to root it again, being concerned over the brick bug etc.
Is there a safe to re-root? CWM has been removed from apps so presume that has gone.
Anyone help please?
Cheers in advance

When flashing a different rom, always do a full wipe(factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache) or else you'll end up in a bootloop.

No, you cant get the brick bug in Siyah. Its present only in Samsung kernels and ones based on it, like Cf-root.
Siyah is completely safe, dont worry.

Well I went ahead and flashed all looked ok but can't say that the neutrino rom was that good. Got problems with update me, saying new rom is available when 1.0.8 is install only to say 1.0.7 in about phone then simply crashes update me.
Think ill go back to stock before trying anything else for a while, should I go back to 4.0.3 or 4.0.4?Im staying with siayh kernal
Cheers
Siyah is compatible with 4.0.3, 4.0.4 (leaked / CM9) and 4.1.1 (CM10).

Pull out your battery and CONFIRM what is says for the model number of your phone. This will confirm or deny that you have the i777 Samsung Galaxy S2.
IF it has a model number of i727 which is also, kind of, sort of, a ATT samsung galaxy s2 but is considered the " Skyrocket". So PLEASE before going any further check it out before you get flamed here if you get help and you don't have the i777.

I was on stock ICS. I wanted to root.
Then i flashed the siyah kernel, after that the phone booted with just samsung logo
I tried flashing a stock rom but it fails, it just halts. However installing a kernel through odin is successful.
Even kies fails to install the stock rom, it downloads the firmware but nothing installs.

Trying to gain root via installing another custom kernel is NOT the way to go, in fact, it's not the right way and AFAIK, it's not gonna work.
So, it was stock ICS and you want to .......... what? just root? or intend to install a custom firmware?
Either case,
FIRSTLY, rooting. Read the stickies, there are links to instructions how to root (per ROM version)
SECONDLY, in order to install custom firmware easily, strongly recommend installing CwMR first. HOW?
a. make sure it's rooted.
b. install Mobile Odin
c. flash custom kernel which includes CwMR. Be careful of flashing GB kernel to GB firmware and so on.
So go back, a question for you.
How did you manage to install Siyah kernel first place?

Siyah kernel was in tar format can be installed in desktop odin. Am I wrong?
the bottom line is now I cant flash any rom through odin or kies. It just hangs at the start. I am able to install stand alone stock kernels through odin without any problems. I guess I am clear aout what I am talking. Help appreciated. Thanks

getting a jig to reset the counter and will try to get a replacement.
It turned out to be bad cable issue.
I brought a new micro USB cable and the rom flashed nicely
May be if kernel flash ok but not rom, one needs to change the cable. :laugh:

i9100 soft bricked

i tried to flash my brothers sgs2 on 2.3.5 fw( dont remember what exactly) via odin and it stalled on flashing factoryfs.. on multiple fw packadges.. 2.3.5 and 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.. before that the phone worked fine... now i can only put it in download mode with a usb jig..
any thoughts on how to try to fix it?
thnx in advance

If it's really a i9100 then i would flash this stock firmware with Odin in PDA
i will try it ...managed to get it boot to stock recovery by flashing old bootloader... but still no charging...
downloading this fw and will try it
Okay let me know how it goes and just to make sure :
Is it a i9100 or another derivate of the s2?
Did you check the repartition box in Odin? If yes, you'll need a correct pit file for i9100.
There is no such thing as a "soft brick" your device is either bricked or it isn't and if you can get into download mode it isnt "bricked".
What you have done is flash a incompatible rom or kernel to your device.
Firstly give some relevant information, what model/variant is your device? What rom did you try flashing?
If you can get into download mode, flash a custom kernel like Siyah then reboot into recovery, wipe data/fcatory reset and see if rom boots. If not try flashing a custom one like CM10 via recovery until you research and find correct stock one for your device and try ODIN again.
It is a i9100, said so in stock recovery...
The fw i was on was 2.3.5 from austria 3 network.. i think it is KI2 ..
I tried flashing Lp7, but before that i tried my country's KK1(gb) beacause i had it on my pc and i had a cf-root kernel with it...
It also stalled on factoryfs.img.. every fw seems to stall on that...
None of the times i tryed flashing was re-partition ticked..
Im on my job right now but as soon i come home i will try some of these solutions and will report here
Thx
