Hmm, never heard of that before, something you've done wrong?
Grab odin, or mobile odin & flash the odin version of speedmod.

Hi,
How can I flash CWM5 without using Odin or other kernels? I rebooted into recovery twice and I got myself with CWM4 not knowing why.. Any easy flashing hint?

Maybe you can try to flash CWM5 with Mobile ODIN from Chainfire => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
But I think that you should flash a kernel containing CWM recovery, such as CF-Root, SpeedMod, etc.
Good luck !
You need to flash a kernel that comes with it

Are recoveries integrated in the kernels on his device (I am used to HTC's eay)?

The counter only increases and triangle appears when flashing a custom kernel from download mode. Using mobile Odin does not touch download mode.

Help with stock kernel to root, and CWM.

Hi, is there a completely stock kernel with root and CWM that I can flash with Odin, on my S2. I have seen a couple kernels but they have things like different boot animations, and different little tweaks but I just want stock ROM with root and CWM. I have never used Odin before, and was also wondering if rooting,and installing CWM with Odin is safer than using SuperOneClick, then using Odin to install CWM? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

1. stock kernel with root? Yes.
2. stock kernel with CwM (and root)? Probably yes.
Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823
I have not personally gone with that option and I believe most of members here do not go with this option. So, I don't know if it works as expect or not.
3. custom kernel with CwM? Yes. So far in this room, there are 2 most popular custom kernels, Entropy's Daily Driver and Siyah kernel.

unable to change recovery

hi,
I have a orange samsung galaxy s2. I upgraded the ROM to 2.3.6 and rooted it via Odin.
I want to install a custom rom in the device but the problem is
the recovery menu is still the stock one. I cant seem to change the recovery. I tried upgrading it via ROM Manager but no gain.
Please Help
rom manager can't flash cwm to your phone, did you flash CF-root with odin? if you didn't then flash it and you should have cwm

Hi,
Thanks for the unbelievably fast reply. Yes i did add CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_KK5-v5.0-CWM5 as a PDA option in Odin. I followed this guide http://androidadvices.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-xwkk5-gingerbread-236-firmware/
should i do it again?

Hi,
Problem solved. I flashed the CF-root and tried the 3 button combo to go into the recovery but no gain.
What made it work was that i started the CWM app and went into the recovery from there. That made it work for the 3 button combo as well.

[Q] Custom Recovery option for 4.0.4?

Is there any way to get a custom recovery installed on the LQ5 ICS 4.0.4 without flashing a custom kernel?
Related to that, all I'm looking for is a way to make a nandroid backup with restore option, so if there's a third-party way of doing it, I'd appreciate any suggestions.
I've always used CF-Root Kernels, but I just Mobile Odin flashed this ROM and I have stock recovery, so the backup/restore features are gone.
Just flash the latest CF-Root kernel via Odin in the PDA section and you will obtain your custom recovery. No other way for it.

From what I can see, that's LPK 5.5, right?
Can I flash it via Mobile Odin?

I'll be extra cautious, as what I'm seeing here is it might have the emmc brick bug in kernel.
So what ever you do do not wipe using stock recovery.
I'm using the save ROM and loving it. But will wait for any more news.
Though I have wiped multiple times using the dial code.
Yes I believe you just flash the latest CF-Root either via Mobile Odin or normal Odin. As atifsh said, don't wipe anything in the stock recovery as the MMC_CAP_ERASE seems to still be present and will eMMC brick your device, which is a real pain considering Samsung know about this. But it is still only a leaked ROM, so be very cautious.

Look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28336465&postcount=331
If you flash other kernel and you don't re-flash then the original one some things like bluetooth will not work....
If you do my procedure you will have CMW, Root & the most important thing: THE ORIGINAL KERNEL!!! :cyclops::good:
PRESS TNX BUTTON IF I HELP YOU :good:
When I flashed the Stock_LQ5-CWM.zip above, I lost custom recovery and went back to stock recovery.
Chainfire has released CF-Root for LQ5, so problem solved.
Thanks for the input.

[Q] What rom to use?

My phone is rooted now and few friends here gave me suggestions of siyah and some...i want to know if I can directly flash the rom from stock recovery mode..i downloaded ROM manager, but it only has clockwork mode and cyanogen i guess.. can i do that using siya?
You need CWRecovery on your phone (sounds like you used a root method that didn't involve using a kernel with CWM if you only have stock recovery). Best way to get it is to flash a kernel that has it built in - Siyah, Dorimanx, etc, etc. There's a number of them; search the development sections of the board. Once you've got CWM on, you'll be able to flash any rom you want.

Siyah is a kernel, not a ROM. And no, you cannot flash a custom ROM from stock recovery. Search for rachmat3's rooting method and use that. Or flash the tar version of siyah or dorimanx via Odin.
ROM manager seems to have some issues with the S2. try to avoid using it as far as possible.
See which ROM you want to use. If it has the new Mali drivers use dorimanx 7.4 else use siyah 4.1.5

Siyah is a kernel developed by gokhanmoral. ROM on the other hand is also called firmware, you can flash them both in clockworkmod recovery, but cannot be done in stock recovery.
As for ROM manager, I've seen people brick their phone using it, so just stick to flashing clockworkmod recovery.

Don't use rom manager, unless you want an expensive brick.
And Rootbox with dorimax is a good combination you can check out

If you are using siyah kernel you can tweak the GPU steps and overclock your CPU using an app called ExTweaks. But note you are not going to get any serious performance boost, your machine tends to be what you have.
