How can I install on my Samsung Galaxy S2 custom ROMs?
Android 2.3.4
I9100XXKH3.
I want the custom Rome by Turkbey V30. 3
Go to the Turkbey thread in the development section of the forum, download the rom & follow the install instructions. Simple.
Where are the the install instructions?
Read me, me and me before you do anything, then you will understand how to flash roms, and will hopefully avoid bricking your phone.
Backup your EFS with ktool before you flash a custom rom, but after you root.

No not really but you would do better to read the FAQS and Guides rather than flash without a single idea of what how or why .

Try to download another rom maybe your rom is broken or you downloaded the wrong file.

What rom are you trying to flash? Status 7 error is often because you have an incompatible recovery. Try a newer version such as from here

I did flash a CF-ROOT manually, XX_OXA_KG1, using ODIN.
The file from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I did flash the last ROM using ODIN (from V1.5 to V2.0). But for V2.1, i flashed it using CWM, goes the same with V2.2.

You've done everything correctly, better if you ask this in litening rom thread...or maybe wait for 2.3, if it comes as a full rom, it would be great

thanks Kryptoner, but unfortunately i still can not post anything to the ROM thread, i haven't got any permisison from Mods. I wish someone could really post the same problem with me, and i could find the same solution. Don't want to wipe the data (like i have read in other forums if can't flash a new ROM or updated the ROM with CWM)
please help.
Could someone help me? I would appreciate it. Thanks
Did you try to download the rom again?

Page one of the rom posts says flash via ODIN unless you have different instructions its a user error .

Usual reason is you are not following the instructions go back and read them then flash again . Make sure you are flashing a zip via CWM recovery .
possibly you would be better flashing a GB rom as a learning point first .

Are you wiping data?

How long did you wait?
It takes the phone a couple of minutes to boot after a wipe.

And I hope u meant jelly bam

Or you can try flashing to a stock rom first and then retry flashing the custom rom

Tried flashing Philz kernel and it still failed to install the rom saying installation aborted.
i said ROM, not Kernel...
go back to a stock ICS or GB rom if you want via Odin, and then retry the JB

Do I need to do anything with my kernel?
You dont seem to know the basics pal.The stock rom he linked contains kernel/modem/rom so have a guess what happens when you flash them to your phone.

TBH we all have to find out the info at some point and this is my time to find out.
True, but you have to know the basics before flashing or else youll be the one with the non working phone.
Eg.If you had read a little bit about nand backups, you could have your phone back to how it was in 5 mins, before you messed with other roms.
So once you have your rooted phone to your liking you make a backup.Then if you try another rom and dont like it, boot into cwm and restore your backup in 5 mins.

It could be that the zip download is corrupted. Try re-downloading and flash again.
If not, flash Siyah v4 kernel via recovery or odin then try flashing desired rom again.

What aborted? Flashing the newly downloaded rom or flashing Siyah via ODIN and then trying to flash rom again?
If you cant flash rom after you have Siyah kernel installed then as mentioned above you will need to try and restock via ODIN.
Im so desparate i cant flash this rom!
I had issues and i didnt understand how to flash but then i downloaded cwm and everything was so much easier! But everytime i try to install the rom it says installation aborted...
please help me i want this rom already!
Seriously?
Try reading the basics and understand what you are doing.
If you then get stuck then come and ask, but first try including some information.

I did and i researched it...
What ROM are you trying to flash?
And how did you flash the ROM, using the recovery or ROM Manager? Other methods?
Some ROMs require that you install the latest recovery. I would suggest going for TWRP 2.6.3.1 custom recovery.

Looks like you don't even understand the very basics .
This whatever rom it is is not flashing probably due to a faulty download .
Dont use CWM see fraqs and guides .
Backup your EFS before you flash .
UNDERSTAND FIRST OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE .

I just want to install Philz CMW6 on my I9100G so I can install a kitkat custom ROM; I have been facing problems with this, I tried many ROMs ( CM11 unofficial, SuperNexus, SlimRom, OmniROM .. ) but I failed everytime, I realized that my CWM was not suitable. So I started looking for it I found a good thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 after installing the CWM it goes right installing ROMs but got stuck into bootloop.
So, if someone can give me the .tar.md5 file I can flash using Odin or maybe another thing to take care of.
Thank you
PS: I had CM 10.2
Running official stock ROM : JB 4.1.2

Try this steps:
1. Use the method in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365701) to flash JB stock + root. note that it's better to flash the kernel via recovery after it's on your external sd-card or sideload with adb. This way you don't get the triangle warning and no binary count.
2. Download the kitkat compatible CWM from here: (http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/recovery/CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip)
3. Flash the CWM and reboot to recovery (advanced -> reboot recovery)
4. Flash your Kitkat rom (with all the necessary wipes of course )

I tried this but I got stuck on boot again, and knowing that the CWM that you gived don't work :/ ( my model is I9100G I think that this is the reason ).
I have read somewhere that maybe the wipe data / factory reset is the source of problem. I am not sure where I am doing wrong
thanks

Hi again!
I flashed stock ROM 4.1.3 and my phone's is going good. but I'm having troubles to go back to CM I don't see what the problem is but I think to change the phone, maybe it's enough for it
