[Q] Mobile odin_cf-root - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
When flashing a Frankenstein Rom with Mobile odin can I select to flash cf-root kernel instead of the stock one so that I will have root and CWM recovery once it finished flashing or do I have to flash the rom with stock kernel and the flash the cf-root kernel by itself afterwards?
ThankĀ“s

You should look in here

which is where you should have posted your question really
AFAIK you can root any Rom you flash with the app.

It's Litening ROM V2.1.
Want to flash it to V2.2 via CWM, but the message apperared even before it's flashing.

Why don't you try flshing a cf-root manually using ODIN and then flashing v2.2

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?

Can 2.2 be flashed via CWM .
Page one of the rom posts says flash via ODIN unless you have different instructions its a user error .

[Q] Which CWM version

Hi, I am running an ics custom rom from rizdroid 19100xwlp4-19100xxlps-19100luxlp1 and I would like to flash clockworkmod to my rooted phone via Odin but not sure which version I need. Any help please or advise please.

I use Siyah Kernel which has CMW 5.5.0.4.
you can get this kernel from here:
http://www.gokhanmoral.com
Thanks, do I just flash my phone using Oldi with the Kernal or is there anything else I have to do?
If your phone is I9100 international model, just put the Siyah kernel TAR file on the ODIN PDA and flash.....
How did you flash the custom rom "rizdroid 19100xwlp4-19100xxlps-19100luxlp1"
can you give us the link/thread for this ROM
Here is rizdroid's custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487&page=416
I flashed used Odin, and my phone is an international 19100

my friend, this is not a custom ROM this is official ICS rom, after installing from ODIN, if you have followed the rooting method of the same thread instruction, (CF-root) you should have already a latest Clockworkmode installed in your Phone. no need of flashing again any kernels.
to checkout this just shut down the phone and press Vol-up+home+power button and hold for few seconds to appear the galaxy logo and keep pressing til it blinks and appear again then release.....you will get the CWM recovery
Hi all I did was flash the rom via Odin and I have an app that checks if you are rooted and it says I am but when I do the test that you said to do I get the Android system recovery not cwm recovery.

CF-Root for your firmware is not found so just flash Siayah from ODIN, make sure flashing file should be .TAR and selected from PDA.

The first thing you have to do after rooting is Nandroid back up and EFS back up of your phone...
Dont be after the shortcuts and tips, read as much as possible, There is no substitute for READING for COMPREHENSION.
these STICKIES will give you the knowledge about SGS2 from basic to the deepest.....
Try the N. E. A. K. Kernel with the modded cwm, works very well!

It is not terribly required to change your Kerenel every time you flash, the suitable kernel already packed by devs for their ROM is more than enogh for running the Phone...but further it is your choice to change the kernel after exploring the reviews and features of the custom kernels and decide whether it will give you any advantage or not....Also no need to worry about Clockworkmode it will be their already on the (allmost all) Custom rom.
the kernel which I suggested that time was mainly for you to get a Clockworkmode recovey and rooting which anable you to flash roms further
NOTE : Once you have already got Clockworkmode no need to use the Odin version of the Custom Kernels, just take the CWM version and put it on your SD card and falsh it from CWM recovery.
Thanks for replying zaheedahmed, what do you think of Keasby's Kernel is it worth flashing will I loose clockworkmode?

Sorry mate I have no personal expreance with any ICS kernels yet...
just read the threads....to find which is most popular and least problem giving....,.do you know the questian "Which is best" is baned in the XDA..
---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------
No you wont loose the CWM, all the custom kernels are attached with a CWM recovery...that is the main goody of SGS2 kernels...
One more question if I flash a new release ics rom and it doesn't have a csc with xeu do I flash a csc xeu file at the same time as flashing the ics rom, will this work?

Sorry experts can give comments about the compatibility of such mix flashing....
But why are you so concerned about CSC, what difference is giving you XEU than others just for my information.
CSC can only flashed from ODIN, you will loose your root and you have to Root it again by flashing a Root kernel again...
Sorry I thought I needed csc xeu as I live in the UK
CSC not required if you enter network settings manually .

I think you are misunderstanding some things.. You must first root your phone with cf-root AND THEN, you must flash the Rom with the specified kernel. But you can take a shortcut by flashing siyah kernel. You don't need to rely on baseband version.

okay .. so here is what i will be doing..
1> root my phone using the cf root method,(that will be giving me cwm and root)
2> get into the recovery mode and flash cm 10.1.
3> wipe and clear the cache
4> install g apps..
5> install siyah kernel via recovery (the zip.)
6> reboot...
cool enough? should i proceed?

No. Did you read the first post on the CM10.1 Thread?
You have to be running an ics stock rom and then root it.
Afterwards you can then proceed to flash CM10.1.

Hey ma8 first use the siyah kernel v4.1.5 or v5.0.1(tar file for ODIN) form PC ODIN to root ur phone, to get a wrk'ng latest CWM recovery on ur phone
then follow the install instruction given in the CM10.1 thread to install the same, the CM10.1 rom comes with its own kernel that will replace siyah after install

so you mean to say that flashing the siyah kernal will directly give me root? Or will i have to use super one click app after flashing the kernel to gain root? One more thing have you tried the method you gave?
Yes it will, no need for any super one click. Once uve flashed siyah, reboot in recovery (which will now be cwm recovery), make a nandroid before you flash anything. Would be a good idea to back up your apps using titanium backup, your sms msgs with an app like sms backup and restore etc. Then proceed to flash the rom, gapps, make wipes etc.

Install cmw recovery using ODIN

Hi,
I have a ATT Samsung Galaxy S2 with 4.0.4((recently updated). I used Exynos Abuse to root my phone. I would like to install cmw recovery and try a custom rom.
I tried to follow the instruction on cyanogen mod but didn't help me much. i installed heimdall but the clockwork mod package doesn't have a zimage. so when i try the command heimdall install --kernal zimage, it says zimage cannot be found!
Is there any other way I can install CMW ? using ODIN ?

Have you tried Mobile Odin. You install it on your phone. I believe it has the capability to flash zipped files as well as tar files.
I'm not familiar with Cyanogen Mod, but you could/should use a kernel compatible with stock 4.0.4 in case you try to boot the phone after installing it. So I would suggest using Siyah. Download the CWM flashable zip package, open it with an archiving program, and extract the zimage. Then use that with either Heimdall or Mobile Odin.

As Ninja says, on the I777 ClockworkMod Recovery is "baked" into the kernel. If you try to install CWM separately, it will almost certainly brick your phone. It seems that in some cases, it is a true brick.

I currently have the stock 4.0.4 on my phn. I rooted my phone. Which kernel should I use ? Siyah kernel or Entropy ? Can you also provide me a link if possible for the kernel . Thx.

Use the most current Siyah. There is no Entropy kernel for ICS. Find the Siyah thread in the original development section of this forum.
If you continue to have issues, remember that before asking, you should try searching and reading for a few hours. Or as long as it takes. There is a sticky clearly stating not to use ROM manager, as it doesn't work properly with our phone. As well as many other helpful tips and instructions. Good luck

I have the same situation with ATT stock 4.0.4.
Just to help you out. This is what you need to do and use (already suggested by almost everyone here that responded). I am just pointing you tto the right location.
NOTE: Read all the instruction and make sure that you understand before you start.
1. Download and install Mobile Odin Lite from this thread. Or you can buy Mobile Odin Pro from the Play Store. (your choice)
2. Download [KERNEL] Siyah - JELLYBEAN - ICS [v4.3.3] "One kernel to rule them all!" put it in the root of your SD and flash it using Mobile Odin. If you use Mobile Odin Lite you will have to extract the file.
As also stated by Phalanx7621, "you should try searching and reading for a few hours." You should do that before you start. I took almost a week reading and looking at other posts before I even got the courage to flash this kernel.
