Hello guys, i don't know what i'm doing wrong here but i just cannot get it work.
I would like to install custom ROM's but i believe i need the CWM first.
I have tried to flash it through the original recovery and with odin using the "One packet" method but neither of these methods doesn't work. The flashing goes without any problems but when i try to enter the CWM(Home+Pwr) it freeses right at the "Samsung GT" logo and there appears to be green triangle at the top left corner..
Any advices?
Phone Details...
Model number: GT-S5830
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: S5830XWKT3
Kernel Version: [email protected] #1
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKT7
green triangle means cwm
bleu triangle means booting

Should there be some kind of menu? I only got the "Galaxy" logo and the triangle.
Which version of CWM?

Make sure that you go to recovery by holding the power and middle(home) button down. Make sure that your CWM is the correct version , v5.0.2.6. If this does not work, flash your phone using Odin to reset the firmware. It should work after that. The words in CWM v 5.0.2.6 should appear in blue. Please share more of your experiences here.
i've tried version 5.0.2.6 but it still wont work. I know i might be doing something wrong, i'm quite new with this stuff.
I downloaded the latest firmware from samfirmware.com and flashed it, and after that i tried the CWM. Should i try some other firmware?

Try to install CWM 4 first, then CWM 5.

Yes.. it could be because you did not install CWM 4.0.0.3. Try it, like kelvinkiller said.
Try this. I used it (the mrs. has ace) and it works. I had stock 2.3.6 before flashing. = no odin, no cwm 4.x needed..
(now I'm with carbon Sunday by Jusada, its great, just changed the theme and updated lagfree to v3)

Sh&$it. good luck!

Ok, tried so far...
- ReFlash the latest firmware with odin
- Flash older CWM 4
- Flash CWM 5.0.2.6
- Flash the CWM 4 with odin
- Flash the "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix"
i've tried several versions now and none of them works. So the problem is somewhere else than in the CWM versions i quess.
I think i'm gonna try the stock Firmware next and then flash the cwm 4.
Any ideas where can i get the stock? Don't have any backups lol.

try the version 4 if you are using 5
aargh, i tried to flash the stock ROM with odin but the phone freezes to start up. Gonna flash the lates FW again. This sucks!
OK!! With so many tries!!!
Remove your sim card and try.. In one of my friends phone cm7 only works when the sim card is removed
Hope it helps

Is your phone rooted? - this can cause probs with CWM if not.

Hi guys
I have seen some roms requiring installing new ics bootloader, and have seen some problems with it etc etc, so could anyone please tell me some info about the new ics bootloader, whats the difference to the old one, is it better? can it be downgraded? will we have to install it later on anyway?
using wanamlite lpq does this one have the new bootloader?
thank you
You don't need to know .
ICS does not need you to mess with bootloaders.
Its only a possible downgrade problem.

I never flashed any bootloaders on my phone before installing cm9.

Should I flash the bootloader ?
You don't need to. There are currently no reports of issues having not flashed the bootloader. However, if you flash the ICS bootloaders, you can't reset the download count with a JIG any more.

Well I downgraded my bootloader, so that I can use USB JIG to reset binary counter of my S II. So far I have no problem.
I think the new bootloader prohibits the binary counter reset and other than that no fancy thing on it.

or you can use triangleaway
never had a jig, and got rid of my triangle thanks to that
A JIG is always handy if for some reason you can't enter download mode using the keys (even with the new bootloader and even if you don't have to clear the counter or triangle). Plus, it's pretty cheap so it's worth having one IMO.
As for the bootloaders, I've flashed several stock GB versions in the past, always ignoring the new SBLs with the new behavior (not clearing the counter and triangle), and did the same when flashing the LP3 ICS stock version. Working fine with the old bootloader.

From i can read, all the new bootloader does is restrict you from using a USB JIG to reset the flash counter. Basicly thats not an upgrade, its a downgrade.

which means dont need to flash bootloader? and one thing clear is i have to install cwm right?
mine is stock gingerbread. not even rooted yet.
i'm planning to flash slim ics. can i directly flash that rom?
Hi guys
I've just downloaded stock LP4 rom but it's only 1 file.
I9100XWLP4_I9100OPSLP4_I9100XXLPS_HOME.tar.md5
Changing from GB to ICS, I need to update bootloader, so in Odin, do I need to check update bootloader when I have only the above file or do I need another file for bootloader... OR this only 1 file will do the job and I don't have to check update bootloader?
Thanks
It would most likely update bootloader automatically. If you don't want to update the bootloader, download one of Wanam's odexed or deodexed stock roms. You can just flash it in CWM.

Agree with Elisha - you don't have to upgrade the bootloader in most cases but I'd advise paying very close attention to the ROM instructions - it probably says something there about exactly what to do.
What ROM are you installing, and what are you coming from?
I'm thinking about Sensation 3.3 by Crysis or Hydrogen rom.
I'm coming from MIUI GB 2.3.7

Highly recommended HyDrOG3N-ICS.. Stable, Fast and lots of customization. Flash Siyah Kernel ICS as well. Best combo you'll find out there.

The MD5 file package contains everything including bootloader, this you can watch on the ODIN while flash process, which start from bootloader if I am correct...
While moving from GB to ICS, if the bootloader update is a must, it whould have listed by every devs at the top of evrey ICS custom ROM installation manual, that you have to update Bootloader or to falsh a stock ICS Rom before flashing this ROM.....no where it is found.....so my conclusion is it is not a must, please correct me if I am wrong....

You're right
Updating bootloader is not necessary, even on cm9 as no bugs have been found
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
i found its better to have ICS bootloader for one reason only , triangle away
plus only CM9 requires a specific ICS bootloader, it will work on GB loaders just fine but if you have a newest ICS loader, only than you need to downgrade and that is posted in that thread and that loader is available easy.

just to let you know incase you dont know MD5 is a checksum / file verification. tar is a package
intratech merged that so one dont have to test everytime if he got curropted file.
odin auto checks it and let you know if you failed MD5 check.

I can't understand why I can't save images on my EXT-SDCARD..
but mostly.... which kernel should I choose?

Ok now the final question would be: What exactly is the benefit of the ICS Bootloader over the Stock Bootloader on the SGSII? also would like to mention that even if the wiki states that on CM9 : "You don't need to. There are currently no reports of issues having not flashed the bootloader. However, if you flash the ICS bootloaders, you can't reset the download count with a JIG any more." There needs to be a reason why they mention on the instructions on how to install the CM9 ROM the following: " - Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders lower than LPH: Download (flash as PDA with odin or extract and $ sudo heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin)" Even if there is no visual difference as confirmed by previous posts there needs to be a difference between stock and ICS bootloader otherwise it would be pointeless to even mention it exists.
Right now my SGSII was rooted while being on stock GB 2.3.4, then installed the RR 1.9.1 up to 2.6.1. Now decided to give CM9 a try but found on the instructions the ICS bootloader thing and now I am confused why would I keep the stock bootloader? or why should I move on to ICS bootloader?.Does the bootloader affects battery performance in any way?
Once JB arrives should the bootloader need to be updated or will the stock bootloader still work?
PD: using the USB jib I took the yellow triangle away, would it return if the ICS bootloader is flashed?
Too many questions, It will be greatly appreciated if someone takes the time to answer them.
Thanks in advance,
anyone knows?

usb jig only clears the triangle and the counter in old gb bootloader
and bootloader got nothin to do with battery life
flashing the bootloader will not increase the binary count... but after flashing custom rom obviously the kernel will not b stock so the yellow triangle wud appear
u can use triangle away app by chainfire it helps u clear the yellow triangle and the binary count in a click
..
and regardin jelly bean ... will see when it arrives .. for now ics bootloader will work
still i don't see the benefit of flashing the ICS bootloader. but thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. now I know that the yellow triangle will appear with the ICS bootloader.

I installed the CM9 with the GB bootloader it is working as usual. Still there seems no benefit on the ICS bootloader.
this is my wifes phone (I have a Note) I want to know what rom I can go to that is very stable , prefer ics :
Samsung SGH-I777
2.3.6
I777UCKK6
2.3.35.14
GINGERBREAD.UCKK6
sorry but I dont generally mess with her phone , she does have root and cwm touch 5.5.0.4 . There seems to be a wifi problem it turns on and then off , never sticking , I suppose wiping all might help , I hate seeming naive but when I mess with my own phone its all a chance , I dont want to just do that with hers!
There are a lot of stable roms. Do you want touchwiz based or AOSP based? I don't have an opinion on AOSP roms because I've barely used any of them.
For Samsung based roms, Shoman94's roms are very stable and popular. That's what I use as my daily driver. For ICS, use SHOstock2, but for the latest JB use SHOstock3.

When you flash a new ROM you will have to wipe. Also that's caused by using a foreign kernel aka one from galaxys2root.com

If I remember correctly, I think that version of the Siyah kernel was put out by zedomax on GalaxyS2Root website. That kernel combined with UCKK6 was always a problem. In fact, that package was always a problem.
Anyway, the kernel has ClockworkMod Recovery. You should decide on a good rom, as discussed above, download the zip file and use usb to transfer it to the sdcard on the phone, then boot into recovery, perform a wipe data/factory reset, and flash the rom. It doesn't matter that you are on Gingerbread right now. You can flash either an ICS or JellyBean rom because the package will contain the complete system and kernel and modem, everything.

Enter recovery by holding down all three of vol + vol - and power buttons continuously until it boots into recovery. If it won't boot into recovery, then it might be a bad flash.
Thank you, I got the siyah kernel from a thread here,when I first got the phone (off ebay )it did in fact have the wrong kernel,I used entropy flash back to get back,I guess I did something else,but I will use one of the roms you mentioned ,glad we have you here ,I've been messing with wp7 the last few years and finally getting back to android (cept been playing with boot loaders in a500)

It is exactly that, a counter, and the only purpose of it as far as we know is warranty protection, so I would say no, it's not important. On the other hand, most folks don't like the splash screen with the yellow triangle, but you can remove that easily enough if you still get it on boot.

No. You also need to install a custom kernel that contains ClockworkMod Recovery. Please read through the guide "How to install custom firmware without incrementing the flash counter" (link in sig) because it will help you see how things fit together.

Siyah ís a kernel... Just make sure you flash the right version. Information is available on www.gokhanmoral.com.

No, just flash Siyah v4 (.tar version) via ODIN. v5 also supports ICS but as far as I remember it had some issues.
ok well the kernel I want to flash is the newest for the galaxy s 2 (siyah v5.0.1) so am I ready to flash or is there anything I need to check or do first? BTW is there a possibility I can brick my phone because my mum won't be happy if I brick it
So what bugs does this kernel have that effects ics because im planning to do a nandroid backup then install cyanogen mod 10.1 jellybean?

You can flash it with Odin. Read about it first, so you won't end up bricking it because you've missed something. But if you follow the correct steps you won't brick it.

You can do a Nandroid back up after flashing Siyah. There won't be anything wrong with this back up.

Make sure you dont perform and wipes or cleans before flashing siyaah kernal. Your on 4.0.4 ics which the stock kernal that has the brickbug. I repeat be careful not to wipe, clean or backup anything before you install siyaah kernal. After you have, then its all good mate. Good luck.
