[Q] Which CWM version - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am running an ics custom rom from rizdroid 19100xwlp4-19100xxlps-19100luxlp1 and I would like to flash clockworkmod to my rooted phone via Odin but not sure which version I need. Any help please or advise please.
Alan

I use Siyah Kernel which has CMW 5.5.0.4.
you can get this kernel from here:
http://www.gokhanmoral.com

Thanks, do I just flash my phone using Oldi with the Kernal or is there anything else I have to do?

If your phone is I9100 international model, just put the Siyah kernel TAR file on the ODIN PDA and flash.....
How did you flash the custom rom "rizdroid 19100xwlp4-19100xxlps-19100luxlp1"
can you give us the link/thread for this ROM

Here is rizdroid's custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487&page=416
I flashed used Odin, and my phone is an international 19100

my friend, this is not a custom ROM this is official ICS rom, after installing from ODIN, if you have followed the rooting method of the same thread instruction, (CF-root) you should have already a latest Clockworkmode installed in your Phone. no need of flashing again any kernels.
to checkout this just shut down the phone and press Vol-up+home+power button and hold for few seconds to appear the galaxy logo and keep pressing til it blinks and appear again then release.....you will get the CWM recovery

Hi all I did was flash the rom via Odin and I have an app that checks if you are rooted and it says I am but when I do the test that you said to do I get the Android system recovery not cwm recovery.

CF-Root for your firmware is not found so just flash Siayah from ODIN, make sure flashing file should be .TAR and selected from PDA.

Thanks mate all done now and all ok. I bought the app to clear the yellow triangle which worked also. Any tips you have for a rooting noob would be much appreciated.

The first thing you have to do after rooting is Nandroid back up and EFS back up of your phone...
Dont be after the shortcuts and tips, read as much as possible, There is no substitute for READING for COMPREHENSION.
these STICKIES will give you the knowledge about SGS2 from basic to the deepest.....

Try the N. E. A. K. Kernel with the modded cwm, works very well!

Thanks Keasbu for replying I have downloaded your Kernel I take it just flash my phone using Odlin but what about the Kernel that I flashed that Zaheedahmed gave me the link for. Also another question I want to play around flashing different roms to my phone do I need to flash a new kernel everytime.?

It is not terribly required to change your Kerenel every time you flash, the suitable kernel already packed by devs for their ROM is more than enogh for running the Phone...but further it is your choice to change the kernel after exploring the reviews and features of the custom kernels and decide whether it will give you any advantage or not....Also no need to worry about Clockworkmode it will be their already on the (allmost all) Custom rom.
the kernel which I suggested that time was mainly for you to get a Clockworkmode recovey and rooting which anable you to flash roms further
NOTE : Once you have already got Clockworkmode no need to use the Odin version of the Custom Kernels, just take the CWM version and put it on your SD card and falsh it from CWM recovery.

Thanks for replying zaheedahmed, what do you think of Keasby's Kernel is it worth flashing will I loose clockworkmode?

Sorry mate I have no personal expreance with any ICS kernels yet...
just read the threads....to find which is most popular and least problem giving....,.do you know the questian "Which is best" is baned in the XDA..
---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------
No you wont loose the CWM, all the custom kernels are attached with a CWM recovery...that is the main goody of SGS2 kernels...

One more question if I flash a new release ics rom and it doesn't have a csc with xeu do I flash a csc xeu file at the same time as flashing the ics rom, will this work?

Sorry experts can give comments about the compatibility of such mix flashing....
But why are you so concerned about CSC, what difference is giving you XEU than others just for my information.
CSC can only flashed from ODIN, you will loose your root and you have to Root it again by flashing a Root kernel again...

Sorry I thought I needed csc xeu as I live in the UK

CSC not required if you enter network settings manually .

Flashed Using Odin, Want to Install JB... Now what?

So real quick....
I rooted my phone with ODIN last night, so I'm still running AT&T Rom and Stock 3e. I am trying to get JB installed but don't know where to go from here. I need to get Clockwork Recovery right? If so, how can I get that on my phone? I did read I should not used ROM MANAGER!
Sorry for the stupidity! I got JB on my last Galaxy before it broke I'm just confused because I did it a different was last time. Thanks for the help!
just flash a custom kernel with ODIN. That'll give you CWM recovery. then you can flash whatever you want.

Ok, is Odin 1.85 sufficient (or is there a newer one) and then can I just flash it with Siyah 4.1.4?
IDK much about Odin. But if it worked for ya the first time it should be good.
for the kernel, you must find one in a format Odin uses and not in the normal .zip which requires CWM recovery to flash.
Right now .tar is the only one that comes to mind for Odin.

I would flash a kernel that is compatible with whatever ROM you have currently. Then flash a JB ROM from CWM . Flash Siyah after you have JB if that is the kernel you want. I think you would get boot looped if kernel and ROM are mismatched.

Okay cool. I know this might be asking a lot but can you just link to me a Kernel that will work with the ROM I have? It's still the AT&T Stock Rom 2.3.4 with Baseband I777UCKH7 and Kernel 2.6.35.7.

Take a look at the guide which is the top link in my signature. It will give you a little more detail on what you want to do, and has links to the available Gingerbread kernels.

the only point in flashing a kernel compatible with a ROM, would be if you wanted to boot into the ROM.
Yes, flashing a kernel meant for a different version will most likely bootloop.
You can flash any kernel you want if you have no intentions on booting the system.
Recovery inside the kernel has nothing to do with what ROM your running. Will always be able to boot into recovery. Or **** broke
I give you lots of credit for reading not to use rom manager!

If you use Mobile Odin you can flash a custom kernel that will install CWM and then flash a custom ROM with CWM. I do this so I do not mess with the flash counter.

It sounds like you're taking the same route I did to root my phone. I first flashed a rooted, stock ICS ROM, then I flashed the Siyah kernel using Mobile Odin, then I eventually went on to flash a JB ROM (SuperNexus) using Mobile Odin. I'm sure I could have skipped that step of flashing Siyah because SuperNexus flashes a CM kernel anyway, but I kinda didn't know what I was doing.

You need root access first before you can flash a kernel via recovery (factory recovery).
I'll advise you to just flash the kernel via Odin.
However, If you still want to use the recovery option I can post a link for you.
You can always flash updates via Odin. Much faster.

HELP installing custom rom please

Hey all.
After reading about the brickbug and failing the eMMC test, im a little confused as to the safest way to root and install a custom rom.
I am currently runnning ICS 4.0.3 with I9100TDULPB kernel on an aussie vodafone branded device.
Do i simply use odin to flash a stock samsung JB ROM, then flash Philz or Siyah JB kernel for root+cwm, then custom rom install via cwm?
I would also like to retain the option of flashing my carrier stock image incase of warranty purposes.
Cheers

Exactly !
PD: Remember to follow the installation instructions on the rom thread, otherwise u'll end in nasty bootloops
Thanks for the quick reply
So this will ultimately allow me to odin flash back to the stock ICS Vodafone Branded ROM later down the track?
Cheers.

leaked official 4.1.2 ????
just go sammobile website search and download for your country if you want
else flash any country version also okay
Just use kies, it's safer and easier...
About how much percent ODIN can fail in flashing rom to s3? Still didnt receive updates on KIES so i want to flash it via ODIN. Also how many time ddoes it take for ODIN to complete flashing??
Get the galaxy s3 toolkit. It includes odin and a copy of the stock recovery you can flash.
Flashing the recover with odin takes under a minute. Flashing a complete rom with odin takes about 5 minutes maximum.

0% fail if you follow the instruction
just need samsung kies (you need the usb driver, not kies because install samsung kies will automatically install the driver also)
and odin and the ROM (in .tar or .tarmd5, depends, confirm is end with .tar and put in pda
and take less than 10 minutes
flashed my s3 via mobile ODIN pro and it worked like a charm.....
Finally flashed my phone, but with mobile ODIN pro. My question is how to get the 4.2 camera on jelly bean 4.1.2 XXELKC. ? Thanx for all your help guys. ..
Flash a custom rom with the mod .
See Android Development Omega rom for one .
Or find the files and push them yourself to the custom rom .
Have a look in Themes and apps and see if its also posted as a standalone mod .

It depends upon the instructions for that rom you need to read them .
But CWM recovery flash is the norm for most custom roms .

Stock Recovery
If you just want the Stock Recovery for example for OTA, just flash the stockrecovery.tar via ODIN. Even I don't like using ODIN too much, but it's a million times better than Kies and easy to use. I personally recommend using ODIN on the PC if possible and avoid Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin is only if you don't have a PC or really need to do something on the go. It's a great app but don't use it all the time. And I'm not sure about this but I think by just flashing the Recovery you won't loose root nor Data, so you save a lot of time!
Only crappy thing with Odin is that it needs TAR and I don't know how to make those excpet with Toolbox. Does anybody know an easy way to make a flashable tar on windows without toolbox or cygwin (linux).

I've read about the "flashing mega bass beat option to s3" and it says
-- install zip from sdcard
-- chose zip from sdcard
-- wait for installation to complete
-- wipe cache partition
-- wipe dalvik cache
-- wipe fix permissions
The question is: what will happen if I didn't wipe the dalvik cache?
Do I really need to wipe it?

i9100 Rooted but no CWM

Hello everyone, greeting from Turkey!
First of all im a newbie for android rooting and romming etc. I ve always used stock roms since ive got this phone. Now Im running a I9100 (int.) with stock Turkish 4.1.2 (XXLS8) on it and i ve rooted it via superuser.zip with my stock recovery.
What i want to do is to install CWM and want to flash a RELIABLE and Long Battery life rom. Are there anyways for me to install a CWM without using odin (via stock recovery). And can you please suggest me a good rom for daily usage. (i want to use vanilla android btw [just like nexus]).
Thank you for your helps.
I don't know much about roms/kernels for the international version, but you will need to flash a stock kernel with cwm and then just choose a rom from your development thread and follow the instructions, don't forget making backups and reading a lot, you can start from flashing cyanogenmod.

As i said i dont know about international version kernels, but it should have a tag like "stock kernel" or something like that if its for stock, just install it and you will have cwm, if its not stock it wont be installed anyway.
