Hello,

i flashed both and everything is ok!
Today i went to flash again CWM but when i flash it stuck on boot screen.
Tried 4.0.1.5 , 4.0.0.2 , 5.0.2.3 ....nothing...
Sometimes i get into cwm but doesn't recognized my ext-sd to flash a custom rom
only when i am flashing the BOKG2 Stock Kernel works!

Try to flash with ODIN first if you cannot flash by CWM!

I had same problem . I flashed stock firmware and then flashed siyah kernel through odin and my phone started . Then i rebooted into recovery mode and flashed custom rom.
And also do wipe before flashing custom firmware

HELP CWM4 does not load

Hi all.
I have installed CWM 4.0.0.9 by "install sdcard:update.zip" in the default recovery menu.
Now i can't enter in recovery menu any more. Maybe something went wrong.
The phone stucks on the "samsung" logo.
What can I do?
I have android 2.2.1 on the phone not rooted (like just bought).
I really appreciate your indications!
Thanks!!
cwm is only for 2.3.X Android! Reflash you rom using ODIN, or flash directly to an 2.3.X rom.

OH fine! thank you!
I would like to flash directly to an 2.3.x rom. I guess that I have to use Odin.
I have found only roms (custom) that require CWM.
Can you suggest a 2.3.x custom rom (already rooted), with Odin procedure?
I don't know where you from, they are differential rom for Europa, Asian and other. If you want an European rom I suggest 2.3.3 KPO, 2.3.4 KPH or the latest 2.3.5 KS9, you can find it on XDA, just search in the development section or general. But you can't find a stock ODIN rom that have root already.
code.rom maybe ?? or mush69rom or villainrom

Blackhawk rom should work fine.

Flash a new kernel, (siyah) then re-download the rom and flash again

Flashed Using Odin, Want to Install JB... Now what?

So real quick....
I rooted my phone with ODIN last night, so I'm still running AT&T Rom and Stock 3e. I am trying to get JB installed but don't know where to go from here. I need to get Clockwork Recovery right? If so, how can I get that on my phone? I did read I should not used ROM MANAGER!
Sorry for the stupidity! I got JB on my last Galaxy before it broke I'm just confused because I did it a different was last time. Thanks for the help!
just flash a custom kernel with ODIN. That'll give you CWM recovery. then you can flash whatever you want.

Ok, is Odin 1.85 sufficient (or is there a newer one) and then can I just flash it with Siyah 4.1.4?
IDK much about Odin. But if it worked for ya the first time it should be good.
for the kernel, you must find one in a format Odin uses and not in the normal .zip which requires CWM recovery to flash.
Right now .tar is the only one that comes to mind for Odin.

I would flash a kernel that is compatible with whatever ROM you have currently. Then flash a JB ROM from CWM . Flash Siyah after you have JB if that is the kernel you want. I think you would get boot looped if kernel and ROM are mismatched.

Okay cool. I know this might be asking a lot but can you just link to me a Kernel that will work with the ROM I have? It's still the AT&T Stock Rom 2.3.4 with Baseband I777UCKH7 and Kernel 2.6.35.7.

Take a look at the guide which is the top link in my signature. It will give you a little more detail on what you want to do, and has links to the available Gingerbread kernels.

the only point in flashing a kernel compatible with a ROM, would be if you wanted to boot into the ROM.
Yes, flashing a kernel meant for a different version will most likely bootloop.
You can flash any kernel you want if you have no intentions on booting the system.
Recovery inside the kernel has nothing to do with what ROM your running. Will always be able to boot into recovery. Or **** broke
I give you lots of credit for reading not to use rom manager!

If you use Mobile Odin you can flash a custom kernel that will install CWM and then flash a custom ROM with CWM. I do this so I do not mess with the flash counter.

It sounds like you're taking the same route I did to root my phone. I first flashed a rooted, stock ICS ROM, then I flashed the Siyah kernel using Mobile Odin, then I eventually went on to flash a JB ROM (SuperNexus) using Mobile Odin. I'm sure I could have skipped that step of flashing Siyah because SuperNexus flashes a CM kernel anyway, but I kinda didn't know what I was doing.

[Q] Rooted S2 but no CWM?

Hi,
This international S2 came out of the box running a stock ICS 4.0.3 and appears to have root access, also has "SuperSU", however it has the stock recovery mode.
I'm interested in replacing the stock recovery mode with CWM so that I can install custom ROMs but my device is already rooted and I'm quite confused about this, should I just go ahead and flash a CWM kernel?
And also,
Do I have to match the kernel to the ROM that I'm going to flash (AOSP, AOKP, XXLSJ)?
Thanks.
Just flash Siyah, Dorimanx,... with Odin.
And yes some Roms doen't work with some Kernel. For example I had problems with Siyah and CM10.1

just flash the Siyah kernel v4.1.5 or v5.0.1(tar file for ODIN) using 'ODIN' on ur PC to get proper wrk'ng CWM app installed on ur phone
Then use Siyah's recovery to flash any custom rom of ur choice

[SOLVED]Flashing CWM recovery on S2

HI
I have Galaxy s2 with android 2.3.5. I want flash OMNI 4.4 rom on it..but before that I want to flash latest CWM recovery on my S2. And also my S2 doesn't have root access So the problem is
Can I flash latest CWM recovery when my S2 have android 2.3.5. ? or should I update official ICS from OTA before flash ?
(I'm planning to use ODIN to flash CWM)
thanks

Step 1 - flash CF kernel which is appropriate to ur baseband with Odin
Step 2- Flash cutom rom what ever u want
Step 3 - Flash Gapps..
Thats all :good:
You can flash CWM and then the custom ROM now itself, without upgrading to ICS. Just make sure you flash the correct rooted kernel for your baseband version. Don't directly flash any CWM or use ROM manager. Good luck!

My details
Baseband version - I9100BUKI1
Kernal Version - 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKJ3-CL647431 [email protected]#2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.BUKJ3
So can anyone give me correct CWM recovery to my S2 ? (I just want to flash kitkat rom.. )
And you can't search for this why exactly ? You've been here more than long enough to know how things work.
Flash Gustavo's kernel first and then follow instructions on the omni thread for flashing as a first time user.
Search around and you will find everything here itself.
I'd suggest flashing the latest stock rom via Odin, ms1 I believe. Then flash philz kernel. Then boot into recovery, (while your new rom cwm zips are on your SD card) format system, preload, data and cache. Then flash the omni rom zip, and the correct gapps, and any other mods you would like.
