Hi I'm using siyah kernal and if I'm correct its supposed to boot into that red recovery? Well mine usually does, and now it keeps booting into a purple recovery called siyah recovery... and siyah kernal will not work none of my buttons work on it... andorst of all my phone will not boot up it keeps taking me straight to recovery I can't even get into download mode... and no I haven't even done any recent changes... any fix?

That makes sense. There were two versions of 2.6.11. The first one was red and worked fine. The second "purple" one was giving recovery errors, like the ones you mentioned. Did you just upgrade to 2.6.11?
Try flashing this version of 2.6.11, if you're able to flash.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21864326&postcount=1068
Otherwise, get the 2.6.12 tar file from the OP in that thread, or get any "tar" version of Siyah from Gokhanmoral's website (other than 2.6.11) and flash it through ODIN.
Hey thanks for the tips, but for some odd reason the purple recovery began working

i followed the instructions on removing the yellow trangle on boot up, forgetting i had recently flashed miui. So yes i made the dumb decision of flashing the stock kernal through mobile odin on miui. any fix? i already tried flashing stock through odin... yes it will enter recovery and download mode.
When you say recovery do you mean stock recovery or cwm? You should be able to just flash miui again in recovery. Or you can just Odin(or flash in recovery) the siyah kernel and you should be good to go

Can you get back to MIUI? If so then just flash a new kernel in Mobile Odin.
Or go into download and use Odin on the PC and do it from there

Ok, I put a warning that would happen after you remove the triangle...
Can you get into MIUI?
Try flashing siyah.tar in odin.

I'm curious if anyone else is or has experienced issues with ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.1.8?
When I boot to recovery I see, CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4
I've flashed CWM 5.8.1.8 and then I see the version change but, if I reboot the phone or reboot recovery it reverts back to v5.5.0.4....
Any tips, tricks, or ideas?

While it's an assumption, CWM stands for ClockWorkMod?

No. Short answer, No.
Long answer, No, I just posted a picture of what i'm using. (did you see it?)
I'm rebooting into ClockworkMod recovery.
I then select install zip from sdcard
I then select choose zip from internal sdcard
and select the appropriate .zip file.
then recovery reboots into v5.8.1.8.
I'm not trying to use any app within the running OS to flash the newer version.
Is that clearer?

Okay that helps me out now that you finally answered my question, so you're trying to flash a newer version of cwm from the older version of it? Or are you flashing a rom too, I never worry about flashing cwm as all roms/kernels have a ones packaged in I feel it's unnecessary

yep, that's all I'm trying to do.
I've done the same thing to upgrade CWM on my old Atrix. So I'm not sure why it isn't working this time... Can't imagine the process would have changed.
I moved the .zip file to the external sd card and flashed it but that still didnt work. it didn't work when i tried to flash it with odin either.

Personally I would just leave it it isn't a huge deal, or flash a kernel that has a newer version

This isn't an Atrix and recovery on the GS2 is not like any other phone. You can flash that zip all day long its not going to do a thing.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that cwm is baked into the kernel. Without changing to a kernel with the new CWM, it will always come back to whatever the kernel you are running has baked into it.

Absolutely correct. Its not as simple as a good old recovery.img anymore.

Use the Siyah kernel and it has the touch clockworkmod recovery baked in. The others above are correct, it is something that has to be changed in the kernel. When the first touch recovery came out I too tried it the way you did by flashing it in regular cwm. Then you will see and can use it. BUT it does not stick because it has to he added into tue kernel.

It can he used the same way basically with using the buttons for volume +/- and power to select. Or clicking on whatever option, or sliding your finger up or down to the selections and double tapping to select. It is kind of a cool featute bit not that big of a deal. I am using my own personal made version that is basically the same as hos rom and you can use the siyah kernel that came/comes with it and it has the touch version of cwm so you can try it out. I dont usually spend much time while in cwm except to flash things. So it is not a huge deal or deal breaker either way.

Hi! I attempted to root my S2 via a method I found here whereby I flash an insecure kernel then root using S2 root. I followed the guide to the T and still my phone is only ''partially rooted'' according to rootchecker and no root apps could be granted su access.
I am running ICS 4.0.3, Baseband Version XXLPS.
What should I do next or should I accept defeat and leave this phone unrooted? What could I have done wrong?
Thanks in advance for reading.

flash the latest siyah kernel v3.4.1 either from ur recovery (use siyah .zip file) or thro Odin ( use siyah .tar file) and then see

Either I am an uber noob or there is something wrong!
I downloaded the Siyah 3.4.1.tar kernel from gokhanmoral and flashed via odin and the phone sat at the boot screen with the little yellow triangle on it. I left the phone on and running like that for 10minutes.
I flashed my insecure kernel back on from last time (the one I used when trying to root using s2root) and it is fine again.
Anywho I am back to square one! -.-

ok buddy follow this steps to reroot ur phone in a proper manner.
1) Dwnld the official ICS firmware(4.0.3) and flash thro odin
link Here
2) after that please dwnld the Matching Cf- root kernel and flash thro' ODIN
link Here
ur phone will be rooted properly and should wrk fine
ps- read the OP of both the threads carefully and follow the instructions over there to root ur phone successfully
If you only need proper root, no custom or insecure kernels and no yellow triangle, look at the guide in my signature. Worth the try

Hey i had a similar problem. There is a superuser n buybox zip file that you will find on one forum here,that is about basic how to root. Copy those files to your phone then go to recovery and apply zip. I had a hard time with my phone partially rooted but thay solved it

Hey all,
I'll try keep this short and sweet. I just flashed Siyah Kernel 1.5.4 on my GS3 (currently running Omega v26) and it flashed fine, rebooted the phone and logo showed up all good. However, past that stage the screen goes black and I'm not sure if it's actually booted into the phone.
I can press the menu/back buttons and they respond, but nothing shows up on screen. I can also enter recovery/download mode, so I've tried reflashing the original CF-root kernel and still no luck.
Currently going to try a nandroid restore but does anyone have ideas what the case might be and how to fix it?
Cheers,
