what exactly is it i.e. the one you should be using to flash ICS builds? I've tried reading the 400+ page threads and searched....
in ROM manager it says latest is 5.0.2.0 (which I have), have read that CWM touch has issues (??)
Or should I be using this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
I assume just DL the zip file and flash as normal ZIP in existing CWM? or via ROM manager?
Note: I'm already running CM7 weeklies, ext4 etc.
I personally use cwm touch and haven't had any problems YET. I use it for all ROMS. This could be an option for you. It's gotten a few updates so some of the bugs could be out of it.

So, i dont have 10 posts so i cant post it to normal thread , so i have a question , how to flash custom kernel with that ROM, what should go first, and what BB to use , in normal thread is about 580 pages, a was looking for it, but i couldnt find it, so if someone know how to , Ill be really glad when he shares it with me .
Thank you , and sorry if there is a thread.
First get the rom on your SD card, flash baseband.52 and install the rom normally with recovery, nothing special is requires for flashing the kernal it is done automaticly. If you need help on how to flash use my guide from my sig

So that kernel is already inside and i need just to flash it using baseband .52 ?
You flash the baseband with the flashtool and the rom with recovery. The kernal is included yes. Read through my guide, it explains all about how to flash roms and basebands.

I really don't have a clue if that would work or not cos J's kernal is for 2.3 and wolfbreaks rom is 2.2. You could always just try it out to see if it works just make sure you back up up wit recovery first and if worst comes to worst flash with the flash tool and redo your set up.

Hello guys
Recently I rooted my p500 with gingerbreak and installed rom manager and then installed clockwork mod 3.1, so would like to ask one question that which is the best rom for this kinda configuration.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Im using megatron rom it is froyo ver. 2.2 it is very stable no bug at all.
But i recommend you to flash francisco devoid rom.
It is actually depend of what you actually need. Check it out on optimus one android development forum here. You can find fabulous rom there you cab choose to flash or maybe you can learn how to create your own rom. Goodluck

The above post says it all....I would also suggest you to try out mik's CM7 b6.5, it's nearly complete in all respects besides a few bugs...
I use devoid.franco with franco.kerner v13. If you want this ROM I advise you to use AmonRA Recovery.
i m on clockmod recover now how can i do AmonRA Recovery on my device plz help me
u don't need AmonRa. just boot into the recovery by going on terminal
su
reboot recovery
i too have clockwork 3.1 recovery right now... which is better? AmonRa or Clockwork? and can u flash a new recovery from the recovery or do u have to do some adb stuff? Not sure how flashing a different recovery works
ROM
I'm currently using devoid franco & his kernels. It is minimal & I get a decent battery life
Finally I have decided to go with devoid.Franco.
Thank you all guys for suggestions.

So i have a Samsung Galaxy S II and earlier today i were thinking about rooting it.
So i were preparing for the root and installed the Samsung drivers.
When it had installed it popped up a message about new firmware(ICS).
So i installed it, and i dident like it.
So i were wondering, is there a root for ICS 4.0.3 yet?And if it is, can i install Clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod 7 (or 9) on it?
Thanks in advance!
(Sorry for my bad english,Im from Norway )

You don't need root to flash a ROM. Just enable usb debbuging and reboot in recovery, then flash whatever rom you want.
Easiest way to root your phone is to flash Siyah kernel (my opinion )
Cm7 is Gingerbread, Cm9, which is still nightly release, is 4.0.4. Cm9 comes rooted (I'm not sure about Cm7 though, but I think it's rooted too).
I personally use Cm9 with Siyah kernel because of the CWM and better recovery menu. Otherwise Cm9 comes with integrated Rom manager, so Siyah is not necessary.

YES CF Root for one
Root + CWM .

and Cyanogenmod 7 (or 9) on it?

Cyanogenmod 7 is based on Gingerbread and it's the only STABLE Cyanogenmod for Galaxy S2 so far.
Cyanogenmod 9 is still in nightly release ("nightly" means beta (or alpha?) release: may contain bugs, crashes, not working/included apps etc.) and it's based on ICS 4.0.4.
-------------------------------------------------------
Cyanogenmod 9 comes with integrated ROM Manager which is practically CWM with other name and more functions. With ROM manager you can backup/restore current rom, partition SD card, download and install ROMs AND you can flash latest clockworkmod recovery from where you can flash all kernels/roms/updates that you want (with clockworkmod recovery I mean the volume up-home button-lock button thing It changes the default recovery and gives you more options lol)

Kinda Noobie here
hello,
2 month back i brought unlocked i777 from ebay. It got rooted and unlocked with Android version 2.3.4, baseband i777UCKH7 and kernel version 2.6.35.7.
It got super user app (so i think its rooted). But the CMW is not installed. i checked in recovery mode (it show some android recovery).
So now i m thinkin of installing the latest AOKP ROM (with siyah kernel) but not sure wat to flash first.
should i root again first (root + CWM) then install AOKP. then change the kernel.
or root then kernel then AOKP ?
also i m confuse which root method should i use for installing CWM in gingerbread .

Please make sure you're running a safe kernel otherwise you'll brick your phone.
i read that guide thread .. as my phone got Superuser, i m using the Mobile odin method [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081].
As i m on gingerbread, i need to use gingerbread kernel to install clockwork model. i.e Entropy512's Daily Driver or Siyah 2.6.

Install kernel with cwm.
Boot to recovery and install aokp rom
Done
Every rom install contains a kernel that works with the rom. Doesn't matter what you had before.

When you flash the custom kernel with CWM, you can then user CWM to flash whichever ROM you wish. I.E. AOKP

You just need to decide if you want a stock or a custom ROM.
As your running checkrom you're obviously not a stranger to flashing ROMs so just do a bit of research into some and flash.
Make a back using clockwork mod and if you want to go back to your old set up you can
A few custom ROMs to try are:
Ressurection Remix
Slim ICS
Elite Rom
Cyanogenmod 9
Will probably try cyanogenmod.
Is it pretty much just flash through cmw as before?

I would suggest rootbox. There is an ICS version and a JB, which is actually really stable
Thanks for the reply
This is where I got confused lol so is root box the new cwm? Or do I use cmw to flash root box then use root box to flash an ics rom?
I'm getting to old for all this

Rootbox is an version of ICS. You use cwm to flash Rootbox (an ics rom)

Yes, that is all it is about. Make a nandroid backup first. Then wipe it clean, cache and data, and then flash whatever ROM you choose.
I can relate to your problem, s2 seriously has a lot of ROMs so try them and stick with that which YOU like personally. If you want you can try CM9 only first or any other. Just go to that ROM's thread and they mention how to flash in the OP.

I never ever flashed an ics rom and I went straight from stock gb to custom ics without a problem.
