I have my S2 rooted running Resurrection Remix Pro v1.1
Baseband i9100ZSLPE
Android Vers 4.0.3
Kernel version 3.0.15-i9100DXLP7-CL233393 [email protected]#3
However, I cant get SkyGo to run as it is not compatible with ICS.
I have downloaded the following rom: I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_EUK.zip
It contains the file : I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI1_HOME.tar.md5
Can I install this using ClockWorkMod in recovery mode, or do I have to use Odin??
The reason I ask is that Voodoo Rootkeeper apparently does not work with phones updated with Odin, therefore if I can update using the zip file and CWM, that would be better for me as I will be able to root or unroot as required.
Thanks
Kieron
That's an Odin flashable file. Doubt you'll find many (any ?) stock roms CWM flashable. Flash the stock rom with Odin, then re-root your phone by flashing a matching CFRoot kernel. Piece of piss
Do you need a stock ROM? Can you not just flash a Gingerbread ROM in CWM?
If you didn't flash a pit file via Odin then you should be able to flash via CWM as long as the firmware is a CWM flashable copy.
Otherwise the .tar and .tar.md5 files can be flashed via Odin or mobile Odin.
Would have been a lot easier if you made a CWM backup of your GB firmware before installing ICS. Could have just restored and away you go.
Good luck.

So i got my sgs2 2 days ago and i rooted it with cf root . my stock vers was bvkg2 so i flashed xxkg2. afterwards i created a backup in cwm. then i flashed in darkyrom2 the wrong xxkg3 rom zip and it was ok except that the pc usb didnt read the phone well. so i resfored my backup in cwm and then flashed the xxkg2 odexed r2 or 3 . now my baseband version is i9100xxkg3 ,kernel is xwkf3 ,android 234 and firmware is darky KG2 odexed base r3. But cwm app was gone after ROMing. do i need to flash another kernel or is everhThing ok ? Th
anks
Sounds all fine.
The CWM app is installed by CF-Root and the ROM you flashed doesn't contain it.
So everything's cool.
If you want that app back, flash CF-Root again, if you don't need it that much you're set
Well I guess I'll be needing it for recovery? I see DarkyROM2 has recovery mode option but i don't see a backup option . Can you recommend a backup program or shall I flash CF-Root back on ?

Anyway, you must flash a CF-root kernel and after that install Titanium Backup in order to do a reliable backup.
1. Just flash any CF-Root ? Or XXKG2 ? Won't there be a problem if i flash it over 2.3.4 ? and how do i flash it , like the first time with Odin or in DarkyROM2 Tool flashing CWM zip ?
2. Why doesn't my PC see my phone in USB with DarkyROM ? I installed Kies back on ; was that wrong ?
Thanks again
hello, i recently bought a SGS2 and i was just wondering, if i use kies to update the current XXKF2 kernel to the new KG5 one (also jumps from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 right?) will this process factory reset my phone? will i get to keep my current layout of apps and cellular operator settings or is it all gone?
oh, i forgot, is there an insecure KG5 kernel yet to root with?
Hi! I really dont know if it will reset the phone but if its just the kernel it should no change it. I would recommend you to do a nandroid backup (google) with clockwork. There should be an insecure kernel, after the backup update it. Then root it go into clockwork - advanced restore and restore ONLY DATA. This should work.
Note: if you need the insecure kernel please tell me the build version i'll provide a link.

Kies does not update a kernel its a full firmware update .
Kies updates do not normally wipe the phone but you should have a backup .
jje
Scratch that, kies is being stupid and wont connect to the server so i cant update this way anymore, but i guess i can still use odin, im just not sure what kernels to use for the update and what kernels to use for the root, there are so many threads about this, im just getting more and more confused lol.
im currently running:
baseband:XXKF2
Kernel:XXKF2
Build:XXKF2
i'd like to update to the latest root-able firmware,
so if you can provide me with the link need i will appreciate it,
from what i gathered i need to flash the updated stock files, then flash the insecure files, the reflash the updated stock to remove the yellow warning sign, i think.
thanks.

Hi! Link to download nearly every version you want: samfirmware.com register, its free. Cilck toolbox (upper right corner) firmware then android. Select galaxy s2 and download the package of your choice. (stock kernel will be in the package too)
I am new user so if you want the rooted kernel links for kg5,... Please pm me
Hit me up for any other questions !

And yes, you're right. Backup, stock firmware flash, restore data, root kernel flash and stock kernel flash.
If you are doing this with odin your data will be wiped so a backup is needed.

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.
I have firmware XXBLFB (rooted) and have installed a custom kernel which I no longer wish to use. I would like to restore the stock kernel which came with this firmware release. I know I could just ODIN the BLFB firmware back and then re-root but it seems a long way to go. Is ther a way to use mobile ODIN with the firmware file to install Kernel only and retain root?
Thanks.
(Yes, you're right. I SHOULD have done a nandroid backup first!)
I've flashed just about every US Galaxy variant but just want to make sure I have the easiest method to get from GB 2.3.3 to CM10.2 on an I9100 as I'm helping a friend do this remotely. Can they just copy the CM ROM and Gapps to the SD, flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 via Odin, then reboot into CWM recovery wipe and install those ZIPs? What exactly is the brick bug I've seen in some other threads.. is it a concern?
That CWM version you're wanting to flash won't work with GB stock. If it were me, I'd upgrade to JB stock, root the phone with a custom kernel (PhilZ, Dori, whatever) & then flash CM10 from CWRecovery.
Edit - Brickbug ? Don't concern yourself with it, doesn't apply to this situation.

I see that the kernel in that CWM is meant for JB, but if it was rebooted and immediately entered recovery afterwards and flashed with CM would it matter? Besides, there isn't an official JB update for the particular carrier.
the surest way: ICS flash (eg threeparttable LPI 4.0.3 FW) because of Brick safe!!
reboot
reboot in download mode
rootkernel Siyah5.01 (tar version) with ODIN
reboot into recovery
then according to the instructions CM (with wipe/fullwipe)
directly from GB to JB is not.
Okay i got something.
1. Flash latest XXMS1 through ODIN. tar.md5 as PDA.
2. boot ur phone its on 4.1.2 now. Transfer Cm10.2 in sdcard0
3. flash siyah v6 beta as PDA in ODIN.
4. boot into recovery wipe everything system,data,cache,dalvik
5. Flash cm10.2 and extras gapps etc.
