Hey there!
I have a bit of a strange situation on my S2 that I'm not really sure how to deal with. Here's the story:
A few weeks ago I rooted my phone by installing an insecure kernel and using One-Click Root. After that I flashed the secure kernel back to get rid of the yellow triangle.
2 weeks ago I though about trying an ICS custom ROM, so I bought ROM Manager. When I tried to install Clockwork Recovery it seemed to work fine until I rebooted into recovery via ROM Manager. All I saw was the standard "Android system recovery <3e>" with a signature verification error.
A friend than flashed another kernel (Siyah 2.6.12) on my phone. Now, when I reboot into recovery by holding the VOL+ button I come into the Siyah Recovery System while using ROM Manager still shows the signature error. How can there be 2 different recoveries on one device?
So the question is: how can I get rid of this mess, start over with Stock Kernel + Stock Recovery (ROM is still carrier stock) and get the phone to install a CM9 Nightly ROM?
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Phone info:
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband: I9100NEKI2
Kernel: [email protected]#406
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWKI8

If you ask your question here you're more likely to get it solved.
And if you're just looking for changing your firmware to 2.3.x or CM7 or MIUI you can have a look here and flash one of the firmwares go give your device a boost in performance + durability.
Ill help you out.
Super one Click will root your device.
If you want to then flash custom ROMS then you need to "fix" 3e recovery.
And then use a clockworkmod update.zip (from Rom Manager)
However if you want to go strait to a custom rom, you don't even need to root.
Just flash an odin kernel that has clockworkmod recovery (Speedmod). Then go to recovery and flash your favorite ROM (already rooted, tweaks, features, etc).
Note: always make a backup of your stuff.
If anything goes wrong you can Odin/Heimdall back to stock
Then restore your stuff.
Hello experts
may current status are
Kernal - 2.6.35.7 JPKJ2
Baseband - XXKI4
Android - 2.3.5
I'm thinking of installing UltraToxic 8.0.1 with Siyah 2.4.2.
Here are my questions
1. Should I flash the rom first or the kernal?
2. I understand by installing a custom rom i won't be able to use Kies anymore. Any alternatives to backup my phonebook and sms to PC?
This is going to be my first time with a custom rom. Please help.
flash rom first, then kernal.
If you flash kernal first it will be overwritten by the kernal in the rom.
you still can use kies to beck up your phone and messages, kies not will find online updates for your phone with custom roms or stock roms that have been modified.
Thanks for the advice Cosmic. But I cant directly install version 8.0.1 can I? First I need to flash with 8.0 and then update using cwm right?
correct, always follow the developers instructions.
[Solved]
I was a complete noob but for the past 2 days I've been massively experimenting with my phone to finally figure out how to use Heimdall (since I'm on a Mac) and flashing ROMs and Kernels.
My problem is I got this phone here in India, and yesterday I flashed it with the official ICS 4.0.3 version (since KIES wouldn't let me). But then I say the Resurrection Remix ROM and I really wanted it.
So here are the doubts:
1. I realize I'll need to root my phone first. I read this in a bunch of threads. I started using Chainfire's post as my reference, only to realize that they're meant for 19100 only. Not the G variant.
So, what kernels can I use to root my phone?
My current kernel string reads like this:
3.0.8 [email protected] #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 22 15:00:05 KST 2012
The baseband version reads: I9100GDDLP5
I assumed LP5 to be the kernels I should be looking for (referring to Chainfire's post) but couldnt find any for the G.
I came across this link:
androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-international-all-things-root/482437-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100g-all-things-root.htm
It gives a bunch of kernels for G, but for android version 2.3.6. Does this mean:
a) Those are the only kernels I can hope to get?
b) I need to flash the old version ROM to use them?
My other question is, once I do root my phone with the appropriate kernel,
can the G variant use the Resurrection ROM? If I can't, could anyone suggest a good ROM I should use?
And finally, staying true to my newbie level, can I directly flash a custom ROM using Heimdall without rooting? Also I saw a ROM with a Siyah kernel, so can't I just flash that ROM using Heimdall? I mean, if I root with some kernel and then the ROM I install changes it anyway, can't I directly use the ROM's kernel? I'm just asking.
PDA: I9100GXXLPQ
PHONE: I9100GDDLP5
CSC: I9100GODDLP7
Solution:
I went to the Cynagenmod 9 for I9100G on this site. Went to it's FAQs, flashed the clockworkmod kernel and then used Recovery mode to flash Cyanogenmod 9. Works perfectly. Better than perfect. My phone is finally living up to it's potential!
odin
you can flash a custom recovery to your galaxy with odin,check soem guide on xda, then from the recovery menu yu can flash teh resurection rom,that is prerooted
Thanks...but
@meccandroid: Thanks for the reply, but you're saying that the ROM can be installed on the G variant too? I read there's some hardware difference in 19100 and 19100G, so if the ROM is intended for 19100, wouldn't there be an issue?

Hello,
I've tried to search the forums/google for this, but am still left a bit confused.
I have been following the `Samsung Galaxy S II: Full Update Guide' on the CyanogenMod wiki, and have got as far as successfully installing ClockWork Recovery.
At this point i have been made aware of the eMMC brick bug, and have found out that i have an insane ship. How do i continue to safely flash my S2 to CM9.
Android version: 4.0.4
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-TH [email protected] #2

First install a custom kernel, like siyah or dorimanx either via Odin, or since you have CWM Recovery, you could use that too. Then you can safely flash CM9. Once you're off the stock kernel, the emmc bug wont affect you.
Download siyah v4.1.5 from here (note: v4.1.5 only.)
Use the tar version if you're installing via Odin, or the zip version if via CWM. Both are safe.
Good luck.
Thanks for your help
I installed the custom kernel (3.0.15-Siyah-s2-v4.1.5+), and then successfully installed CM9.

When i go to CWM and i want to install custom rom cm10.1 i get the error: BAD
Another problem i got, i cant connect my phone with my laptop. I got a driver problem: CDC Communication Interface (that 7 times in my device management) and Comneon Suspend. I think it all has to do with each other
Sorry for my english...
