My son has one of these ph's...
Soonish I will install recovery using odin & then make a nandroid of his stock rom...
once we have that done I'm guessing he'll want to try a custom rom
do I need to flash a 2.2 stock rom before trying CM7??
If so, which stock rom should I be using... I'm from New Zealand btw (next to Australia).
T.I.A
Pre-requisites:
Visit the Basebands thread and make sure that you are using a baseband that is recommended for CyanogenMod.
You need a rooted phone, ClockworkMod Recovery (first time users must flash with Odin), and ROM Manager. For more information on all three items, see the Getting started with ROM Manager & ClockworkMod section in post #2.

In order to avoid flashing 2.2 then going to CM7 you will need first the correct baseband for your region and flash it with Odin before flashing CM7 port by MADTEAM. I hope that this was helpful

Thanx for reply ^^
but...my sons ph is stock 2.1, so it already has correct baseband
You're saying I can go straight to CM7 (from 2.1) as long as I flash correct baseband along with CM7 install?
Once I have CWM installed & everything backed up I'll give it a nudge

I understand, but you already need the 2.2 baseband version before installing CM7 port. It won't work with 2.1 baseband. Just go to madteam.co forum and grab the latest baseband version for your region, then flash it, and finally flash the CWM.
Stuck @ Odin ^^

Odin won't detect ph??
Cable is working... (can get into kies)
Ph is in download mode...
Drivers are installed (those for when ph is awake [auto installed via Win 7] & those from Samsung site when ph is in download mode [manually installed])
Must be the OPS file!!
I need one for GT I5500...
when I select the OPS that came in archive from the 'How to install CWM & CM7' thread... it shows I5500 @ the top of tool & not GT-I5500 from the images in the guide...
Please advise
These are the steps that I'm using to flash stock and other ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13958380&postcount=2
You have to pass the three key combination in order to enter "download mode". After you are in, you will like to load the OPS file which is named EUROPA_v1.0.ops. Choose "one package" in Odin options in the left and load the baseband that you've downloaded at the baseband thread in "One package" down in the right. Then connect the phone and the spot called "Com port mapping" will light up in yellow which means that not only that your phone has been detected, but it is ready to be flashed. Now click the "Start" button and wait a few seconds. Your phone will restart and probably will bootloop. Take out the battery and place it back in a few seconds later. Go to download mode again and load the CWM tar as "one package". Then flash again.
After the phone restarts you will be within the ClockworkMod recovery. Now it is time to place the update and gapps (should your son need google apps package for some reason) in the root folder of your microSD card (or in some folder called eg. CyanogenMod). Flash the CM update, wipe all data, cache, dalvik, battery stats, fix permissions, restart and you will see the blue skating robot. If you have a bootloop, redownload the update file for CM and reupload it to to sd card... now you are using the CM port by psyke83

Dude!! I flashed the baseband from madteam and now I'm in boot loop
Knew it sounded fishy
baseband on my moto is changed after rom install... not before
I'd appreciate if you could point me to a stock firmware that I can flash with Odin or tell me the key combination to get into recovery mode so I can restore the backup I made...
Edit: Found a English stock 2.2 rom which I flashed using Odin...
Can't we get into recovery with a key combo?? Seems odd
Here is the sequence of upgrading from 2.1 to CM7 port:
Plan B
1. flash baseband for 2.2 (or flash 2.2 itself and it will replace 2.1 baseband with 2.2 one)
2. flash CWM and it will reboot in recovery mode
3. install CM7 from update file from goo-inside.me...
or:
Plan A (psyke83 prefers this one)
1. root 2.1
2. install GooManager from G Play Store
3. open GooManager, check for updates, download update and enter recovery to install CM7
It looks like you've just completed step 1 from Plan B. Now it's time to visit download mode again and proceed with step 2, then step 3 and you are running CM7.
I tried going from stock 2.1 to CM7...my G5 is from the Middle East, with XSG product code so it was sitting on 2.1 since I bought it...
No matter how many times I tried going into recovery, performing the "4 wipes" and then installing in the correct sequence, it wouldnt leave boot loop...to top it up, my stock JJ2 rom flashed using Odin was also boot-looping...
I only rescued my phone by first flashing i5500XXJED and then going back to my stock ROM...
Was this because I didn't go from 2.2 to CM7?
got CM7 on it no probs ^^
tried reboot via power menu options & ph stuck at boot!?
Spent the better part of next 2 hours getting back to working 2.2...
will try suggestions below...
Edit: CM7 on & working ^^ going to stay away from 'Reboot' option though ;-P
Well, should you find CM7 not stable enough, just go with 2.2 until a stable CM7 relase is up.
You could also try this one: http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(beta-released)-mad-rom-2-5/
Sms text is white on white... Swiping up turns text black.
The biggie is no lock screen?!
Any one got a fix for this bug?
King_Rat on tap
We've settled on clean rom ^^
visually it's bit of a dogs breakfast
Extra large slider tabs!? Baby blue on baby blue!? No theme engine? (anyone know how to manually install this??)
Functionality seems to be good ^^ couple of the games he likes have a screen time-out glitch...
Otherwise all is good

Need some help for a strange situation
I was attempting to flash my samsung t959 to froyo 2.3 and came across a site the stated I could use the files for the vibrant gt i9000 and flash via odin. Well guess what that didn’t work it booted up and worked ok but some functions were severely hampered. So I reinstalled eclair 2.1 via odin everything was fine but when it boots up the gt i9000 screen shows first than the vibrant screen followed by regular boot up.
I rooted the phone and tried installing a rom but it wont install. when in recovery mode it will just install the update.zip folder and not the rom I downloaded with the rom manager. I have a feeling there is some of the gt i9000 software still in the phone but cant figure out how to get it out.I have flashed several times using odin but still the same. If I want to get into recovery mode the 3 button way I have to use the buttons that the i9000 would use not the t959. That’s what makes me think there are remnants of the i9000 left over.Anybody got any ideas for getting the back to stock 2.1 so I can install a rom?

yes you dont unzip the rom. also one of the most stable roms for me on 2.2 is trigger 3.1 and for 2.3.4 simply honey
Is there a rom that uses odin to flash the t959 to 2.2.1? Any rom I have tried using the reboot recovery method does not seem to work. As far as I know I am installing correct.
Downloaded update.zip to the sd internal removed external sd
ran recovery and installed update .zip
have superuser icon so the root has been made
downloaded rom manger looks like it works connects and lets me look at the roms I can use etc.
downloaded several differant roms and tried to install all it wants to do is install the update and does not install the rom files.
The rom files are zip files and I do only leave one rom on the sd card at a time allong with the update.zip file. I dont get it.
Did you flash recovery in ROM manager and reboot into recovery. Then reinstall packages and reboot into recovery?
You can keep as many ROMs and kernels and whatever you want on either sdcard. I have both filled to the brim.
Eitherway you could use Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick in ODIN but that might be 2.2 actually so ignore that, lol

U can try a simple dirty trick to make cfroot works with any rom(or maybe just gingerbread) without loosing wifi capability. Rename ar6000.ko file in /system/wifi as ar6000.ko.bak using any filemanager that have root capability(obviously u need to be rooted before attempted this). Then get ur hands on ar6000.ko file from kpn and put it in the same folder as previous renamed ar6000.ko file, give it proper permission and flash cfroot b80. This trick works with zckpa china fw, so in theory it should work on other rom too. Btw dont shoot me if this doesnt work, im just helping

I kept my self really busy, let me tell ya what I did so far:
1- Flashed the new FW with Odin, things are smooth there nothing major.
2- Installed CWM 4.0.0.9, smooth and easy.
3- Installed CF-Room 3.7 b78 and then b80, had weird stuff going back there but it eventually worked, I lost the boot audio on the Samsung logo.
4- Installed EXT4 converter, no problem.
5- Started converting from RFS to EXT4. first time it finished converting but refused to boot correctly, I re-did all the above and started to convert again, now it refused to convert the /system, saying I don't have enough space for the restore, it kept failing here until I freed some space by using Titanium Backup and removed crapware, tried again and now I have EXT4 instead of RFS.
6- Enabled Apps2SD using the Tweak Manager DT: Auto Start.
7- Flashed the Apps2SD GUI, the phone rebooted a couple of times but it didn't install, couldn't see the icon of it.
And now, I must have some sleep! Good night ya all

CF-Root b80 already have this solution.
To install CF-Root to Gingerbread ROM: flash CF-Root recovery b79 using Samsung default recovery. Reboot into CWM recovery, flash CF-Root boot b80.
Indonesia offical Gingerbread update: DXKP9
If ketut is happy, then we all should be happy too, when do you think you can start working on it?
I so far had around 3 or 4 SOD's, not sure they're caused by the ROM it self or the stuff mentioned before that I installed on it, the ROM also randomly reboot it self while working, it crashed and rebooted while I was in the middle of a phone call :/, this only happened after installing the C-fr 7.3 b80.

If I were you, I'd use Kies to do the upgrade, you have the official ROM installed, why not use the official tool too?
If you don't care about the official tool then simply map each file type to the right section in Odin, you can still perform the upgrade without having the modem file.

Hey guys, so I downloaded cm9 and tried to install it on my phone.
I got it from this link and also followed the video tutorial there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500234
I had rooted my phone and had CWM recovery v5.0.2.6
Now when I try to reboot, there is just an blue screen.
I did exactly like in the video, I tried 2 times. Still it didn`t work. Please help. Could someone provide any step by step instructions other than the video?
Thanks.
I think you needed to use with CWM 5+
Try to get back into CWM and root your old ROM.
I am very bad at this... So I dont really know how to do that... could you provide any steps or an tutorial?
Edit:well I tried to format sd card and system but nothing. Could someone provide a link to gingerbread 2.3.5 and a way Icould put it on my phone? Also, could I do anything with samsung kies?

NO NO. Don't use kies. Kies sucks a lot. Search the developer forum for "clockworkmod 5" flash it normally (I suppose you already know how-to since you have CWM4) after getting CWM5, flash ICS/CM9 Normally. no need to flash GB
Here is cwm 5

Glad we could help, be carefull next time. Always try to use newest software.
Ughh I forgot to root my phone right after flashing. So I installed CWM before rooting.. how do I root now? And also I think it is still not working. The phone has been blue for about 2 minutes now. I followed the video exactly like it was.
EDIT: damn... so after getting the blue screen again I thought of going back to normal ver and maybe some other custom ROM... but guess what.... It doesnt work anymore... I did just like before.Went into download, used ODIN to download 2.3.5 french ver to my phone, odin says PASS. But last time It had booted correctly by 4:40 or so. This time like 10 minutes have passed and still rebooting. What to do now?
EDIT2: Am I allowed to make a new thread since the problem is not with cm9 anymore?

download it and flash it through stock recovery
i dont think you need to root it before flashing this (i didnt)
i just flashed this over the stock rom (non rooted) and then flashed cm7.2
i too had such problems but dont worry flash some stock rom with odin then it wont boot so remove your battery and place it again.now go to stock recovery wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition then reboot.then use cwm 5 to flash cm 9.

Well here what have done for flash th rom for the first time:
-I was on gingerbread 2.3.6 XWKS2 (my device was root by super one click and i flash CWM 5 via recovery)
-Then i put the rom in my sdcard, reboot in recovery (press home and power button)
'
-Into recovery i wipe cache partition and wipe data, go in advanced and wipe dalvik cache go back to the main menu and select install zip from sdcad choose the file you have(here it's cm_ace-ota-eng.01042012) then press yes wait a while (the rom are installing) then when it's done select reboot system now.
-The first boot take a while (and i have the blue screen too you just have to wait but if it's exceed 5-10 minute try to reflash the rom)
I do that will all rom i have install and i don't have any problem. Hope i help you

Ow sorry then but i just tell you the method i use i do not remark that
But it's strange your device do not flash propely and i saw you've try a lot of thing I'm speechless for the moment just tell us if you succeed to flash cm9.
I am using SGS2 i9100 and rooted and CWM installed as follows:
1. PC Odin Flash LPB Firmware (ICS 4.0.3).
2. PC Odin Flash CF Root LPB Kernel.
3. Mobile Odin Flash Stock LPB Kernel to remove Yellow triangle.
4. Mobile Odin Flash CF Kernel again to get CWM Recovery as well as root.
So far everything is OK. I can boot to recovery and installed CheckROM v6. Perfect no problems.
Then decided to try MIUI (ICS) when it was released. After complete wipe, ROM installation completed and on reboot > Kernel Panic Upload Mode. Couldn't boot to recovery Just to Download Mode. Had to follow steps 1 to 4 again to get Phone working with root and recovery. Tried a couple of times with MIUI from different sources like miui.us or miuiandroid.com but same result. So back to CheckRom v6 which works without problem.
With recent better ICS ROMs available, tried to install Omega v1.0. Again Kernel Panic Upload Mode. Followed steps 1 to 4 again. Tried Omega 12.0 used by lot of people. Again Kernel Panic Upload Mode. Tried PC Odin Flash of Siyah Kernel. Got the Siyah screen to show on bootup but this remained a while ... ROM did not boot and then screen turned to Kernel Panic Upload Mode after waiting a couple of minutes.
After again doing steps 1 to 4 I am back on CheckROM v6 which works flawlessly.
Why can I not use any rom which tons of users are using? Is there a hardware peculiarity which is preventing this? Should I try out old or new or ICS bootloaders? I don't want to mess with bootloaders as I hear these can hard brick the device.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
PS: My Complete Wipe steps are:
1. Remove user data/Factory reset.
2. Clear Cache
3. Clear Dalvik Cache.
4. Optionally Format system partition in mounts and storage.
The reason is obvious ....Why old LPB???? Stay away.....
Start again from the GB rom better 2.3.5 from odin
Root with cf root and flash any rom what you want from CWM...
No need to change bootloader again...the one you get along with the gb rom is enough further for all
OK I have KE8 (Gingerbread ROM 2.3.3 which is latest for my location) downloaded. Will a PC Odin flash of this remove my current troublesome bootloaders? Or should I download another GB Rom 2.3.5 or newer for PC Odin Flash?
PS: I used LPB assuming that an ICS Rom would give me the bootloaders which would not give me headaches from installing custom ROMs from XDA here. If someone could explain to me where my logic went wrong?
ZACQ8 you called LPB old, but wouldn't it be newer than the 2.3.5 GB ROMs?

you can flash the one which you are having now, but make sure CF-root is available for that to Root and install CWM, for your further flashing of ROMs,
yes that will replace the bootloader, but doesnt matter, it will be ok for all custom roms, (unless some Rom devs insist to replace bootloader first for their Roms)
I told the LPB is the old in the sence, it is old beta release among the ICS versions. Kernel Panic was highly reported while using this version.
Kernel panic Mode is hardly reported when people are coming from GB roms and installing Roms from CWM. that is why I sugested flash a GB rom from ODIN then move to any ROM through CWM.
You can also flash and try latest ICS version from ODIN.
Cool. That's the task for tonight then.
Sent from my GNex on AOKP.
if you are flashing a custom ICS ROM take the LP9 version,
one custom ROM with LP8 version has gaven me once the Kernel Panic
Goodluck
Thanks that worked. Installed Omega 1.0. Downloading Omega 2.1. No kernel panics. So from now the phone shoul dbe trouble fre hopfully.
wen u get prblms instead of keeping on flashing jus stop an ask..
flash stock gb after wipe..
then root properly..
don go for any rcs,beta,alpha root release....
then its a good idea to flash stock ics ...
wen u get a clear pic,u can go for aokp,aosp which will b diff...
bottom line kno some basics instead of jumping far away......cheerz
Looks like I'm in the same situation, I had used odin to flash with I9100_CODE_I9100XXLP2_CL57619_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 back in Jan/Feb and flashed it with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LP2-v5.2-CWM5 kernel.
I was then able to flash new ROMS no problem with CWN
Then flashed the other day with the latest Ressurection Remix 2.2 and am getting the dreaded "Kernel Panic...."
So I'm back to the I9100_CODE_I9100XXLP2_CL57619_REV02_user_low_ship ROM.
My plan is to flash it with a 2.3.6 ROM using odin, then apply the CF-Root kernel and from there I'm hoping I can then apply Ressurection Remix ROM.
I'm just a bit unsure of which versions of the ROMS to use, I haven't been able to find a guide to selecting the correct versions for my phone. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Hello all. I have had Shostock3 for a while now and read that if you use the Siyah Kernel with it then it is an awesome combo. Well I downloaded the kernel and went to install it through CWM and now I have a big problem. I chose to reboot and install the kernel and when I did I am now STUCK at the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100" with the yellow triangle. I have let it just sit and see what it does but it goes no where. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?! HELP! Thanks all!
Samsung Galaxy S II i777
Running Shostock3
WAS running with default kernel that comes with Shostock3
EDIT: It doesn't seem that I can get into the recovery mode either. I am trying the volume button + power button combination and having no luck....

Is the name of the file that I tried to put on. Should I try to get the one that you stated and put it on via download mode? Because it seems that I can get into download mode but that's about it. I can't get into recovery.

Hold power button plus volume up and volume down, keep it held in until you boot into recovery. Recovery won't just disappear, normally people just aren't holding them in long enough or are using the wrong button combo. Let us know if you get back up and running. Also make sure when installing the siyah kernel you're following the OP directions to the letter.

I can't get into recovery. I simply cant. I hold the buttons, correctly might I add, and then the logo appears, then goes away and I am left with nothing but a blank, black screen. The bottom buttons aren't even lit.
Possible hardware failure on your power button or one of your volume buttons I supposed. Have you tried flashing a siyah.tar file in odin to get a.different usable recovery?

If you could link me a Siyah kernel that is in a .tar format I would be appreciative.
Dude do as Phalanx says. Vol up+Vol down+ Power and even after the logo goes away dont release the buttons. Recovery will show up.

Either that or if you get adb up an running on your computer, hook up your phone via usb and type (this is for mac, may be slightly different for other os's):
adb root
adb reboot recovery
and voila! your phone boots up in recovery!
can't get past boot screen on siyah 5.0.1
I spent all the time I could thinking I had this but apparently I don't!
Have AT&T Samsung i777 running the latest stock 4.1.2 that I got from Kies.
Wanted to try my hand at custom roms.
Was able to root phone using flamaroot which gave me SU ability
Bought Mobile Odin pro, downloaded Siyah .tar file and put it on SD.
Flashed it with mobile Odin.
Because I'm an idiot, I was hoping to make a rom backup after flashing.
Now, it boots "Samsung" then the Siyah screen, then goes blank.
I can get into CWM recovery but without a backup rom to restore to I'm not sure what to do.
Also, can get into Download mode which reads:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-I777
Custom Binary Download: NO
Current Binary: Samsung Official
However, it reads downloading, but I do not believe there's anything to download and it's been like this for 20 minutes
ANY ideas on what I could or should do would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Where did you get the Siyah 5.0.1 in tar format? It sounds like you tried to flash a kernel that is not compiled for your phone. You need a kernel that is compiled specifically for the SGH-I777.
If that is the case, then you should be able to recover by flashing a good kernel using Odin, if you can find a tar version, or just flash the 4.1.2 stock firmware with Odin, which you can get from the Download Repository or from sammobile.com/firmware or Samsung-updates.com.
But first, since you can get into recovery, try performing a wipe data/factory reset to see what happens.

Thank you so much for helping me! First of all, I used your post, "Odin3 One-click Downloaders for Stock and Stock + Root" and was able to follow those steps to get me back to 2.3 and then I connected back to Kies to get back to stock 4.1.2. SO, I am completely back where I started a week ago, but I have a phone that works thanks to you!!
To answer your question: because I was using Mobile Odin, it only recognized .tar files and I found one on Siyah's blog (gokhanmoral) which was categorized under "sgs2 kernel".
So I'm back to the start (actually did the unrooted one so I don't even have it rooted currently). However, with all the reading I've been doing on this forum, I can't shake the desire to use a custom rom. I know I'm very much a noob and probably should make myself happy with my phone, but I wanna give it another try. I understand with my following questions if I'm posting in the wrong area and cannot have my questions answered.
Here's where I'm stuck. I know I need to make a custom recovery (cwm or twrp I'm not totally sure) before flashing a custom kernel and then rom. But I just can't figure out how to do it. When I go into recovery (holding volume buttons and power), there is not option for "backup and restore". How can I get a backup of my current rom so I can start with the other stuff?
The order as I understand it:
1. root phone
2. install cwm or twrp in order to create a backup of current rom
3. flash a custom kernel
4. flash a custom rom (that is compatible with kernel)
Thanks so much again for all your help!!

OK, glad your're back to working. The Siyah kernel you flashed is for the GT-I9100, the international version of the Galaxy s2. As I said, you will need a kernel that is compiled specifically for the SGH-I777, so get your kernel from the I777 Android Development Forum.
Next, you can also use a straight zImage file with Mobile Odin. You don't have to have a tar. You can even download a ClockworkMod flashable zip file and use an archiving tool such a Win Zip or 7Zip to open it and extract the zImage from it. Then use that to flash through Mobile Odin.
You currently have the stock 3e Recovery, which does not have a backup facility, nor the ability to flash custom firmware (unless it is signed by Samsung.) So you need to install a custom kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery (or TWRP Recovery will also work.) By the way, those are just different developers versions of almost exactly the same recovery functions, so it doesn't really matter which you use.
For a kernel, go to this post in the development section and download the third of four which is titled "AJK v2.0.5 NO-SWAP Samsung." As I said above, extract the zImage from the zip and use that to flash in Mobile Odin.
Also on this phone, recovery and the kernel are not separate, they are one unit, so you install the kernel to get the custom recovery. Your steps 2 and 3 are incorrect. Remove step 2 entirely. Step 3 will install both the kernel and the custom recovery. In step 4, you can flash any custom firmware you want. They all come with an included kernel, so it doesn't matter what kernel you start with because after you flash you will have a different kernel anyway.
And finally, don't worry about backing up the stock firmware. If you mess up the flash, or soft brick the phone, you can just reinstall stock as you did before. After you have a custom firmware installed, and have your phone configured exactly the way you want it, then is the time to make a backup, because you can flash to a different custom firmware to try it out, and if you don't like it, you can restore your backup and be back to exactly where you were.

Wow, excellent information and I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to help me out. My last question hopefully, and I don't mean to try your patience but what is the best way, would you recommend, to root my phone? I did it with flamaroot previously but it was temporary? Thanks!
Kurt
I have no experience with 4.1.2 and framaroot since I'm running Shostock3. No one who has used that method has said anything about it not being a permanent root. Why do you think it's not permanent?
I think it will be fine. Anyway after you root you're going to install a custom kernel followed immediately by a custom firmware which will be rooted. So even if it wasn't permanent it wouldn't matter.

First off, this forum is not for your phone, it is for the SGH-I777 AT&T Galaxy SII, so we don't know the specifics of your phone.
Following the above procedure will put your phone into download mode, where you can flash the firmware you linked.
Since you say you don't know how to use it, I am going to post a complete set of instructions for using Odin that I wrote some time ago. Bear in mind that this is for the I777, and you will have to adjust some things to make it work for your phone. Refer to the flashing instructions in the thread you linked.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) 3.) 4.) Put your phone into download mode.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
If after the successful flash your phone does not boot into the firmware, then perform a hard reset. I don't know your phone, but normally you would boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
