Is there any place to download the stock kernel for the GT Wifi? Or is there a way to back up the current kernel? I looked around and couldn't find anything about this. Reason I ask is because i want to install pershoot's O/C kernel but I want to have a backup of the stock kernel incase I need to revert to stock. In case it helps, I have the KG6 version.
Thanks

If you're running stock kernel now, you can make a nandroid backup in cmw, then go ahead and flash Pershoots kernel. Then if you wanna go back to stock kernel you can go into cmw/backup and restore/advanced restore, choose the backup that you made and then just restore boot and you'll be back on stock kernel.
thanks. I didn't realize that nandroid also backs up the kernel. I thought I read somwhere that it didn't. Gonna go flash now! Thanks!h
Just one short question so I dont do something stupid: do I need to do some kind of procedure or anything before I flash Siyah 3.0.1.? The phone has ALL stock software and settings and hasn't been tampered like this in any way as its only several days old.
Thanks in advance.
bad move. 3.0.1 is for ics rom. You are likely to be on gingerbread.

If you have not installed CWM, you can just install it via Odin. Also make sure that you actually have ICS (android 4.XX) installed on your phone or it wont work.
Just to confirm, you have the i9100? Not the US T-mobile version of SGS2?

Yeah I'm on Gingerbread, all stock. Should I flash 3.0 instead?
And I still dont know is there something to do, some kind of procedure or something before the flashing.
Here it says it already needs to be rooted before the flash...

do not install that siyah 3 kernel if you are still on gingerbread. You have 2 options. Install siyah 2.6.14 for gingerbread, or upgrade your current rom to ICS and then install siyah 3.
So, for example I could go with Speedmod or CfRoot, flash some Ics rom(Miui for example) and then flash Siyah?
If you want to stay on gingerbread and use siyah, use siyah 2.6.14 or lower. If you want to go to ICS, use siyah 3.0 or higher. It's that simple. 2.6.x only works on gingerbread, and 3.x only works on ICS.
just flash recovery

If its brand new and stock, first root (zergrush method), flash CF-Root using odin, get ClockWorkMod (using rom manager from market).
After that you can go ahead and flash any ICS rom but first backup everything.
So backup contacts (I just go to contacts and from menu use export to SD card), sms (using any sms backup app from market), all the apps you would like to save for later use with Titanium Backup (free addition is fine).
Also do a back for your stock rom in recovery (I suppose you can do that even before rooting - but I did it after I rooted and got CF-Root kernel).
Hope it helps.
Thanks a lot!
But doesnt Cf Root already come with CWM?
And is this the right method?

Easy way to root is with odin. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
That guy is great, but what's creating a confusion about Siyah is FAQ on his page:
Q: Does this kernel work on XXXXXX-ROM?
A: If the ROM is based on Samsung Stock ICS Rom LPQ or newer, it should. Otherwise, search the thread... If you cannot find any reference to that ROM, try the kernel. You won't lose anything by trying this kernel. Worst case scenario is to reflash your previous kernel or ROM. You can backup your previous kernel with Hellcat's k-tool from the market.
So, I tried with 3.0 on my GB 2.3.4., and it didn't work, so I had to flash old kernel.
The reason I want to use Siyah is dual-boot, which it should provide.
Another problem is that ICS comes very slowly.
Siyah V3 doesn't work with Gingerbread roms. It's an ICS kernel. Try Siyah 2.6.14, that's the GB version (look for the thread in the dev section).
I'm still so confused about all of this and can't decide what to do. In addition, there is no cf-root for my kernel(BOKK1).
From the CFRoot thread "What if there is no matching download ? Try finding the closest match." & "The XX and OXA identifiers are not that important" (in your case the BO).

Deja vu! I said the same thing on page 1! (no offense, MB. Meant for the other dude)
Did you ? Sorry CTM, didn't read the first page :-( Just saw the 'query' at the top of this page.

Siyah Kernel up to 3.01 (which is for ICS as you are already told) up to now does not support dual boot! Its only a placeholder till now in CWM. It may support dual boot in future but not now.
ok so I have an unrooted galaxy s 2 I1900 running stock 4.0.4 and I was wondering to flash siyah on my device do I need a certain kernel or bassland version ?
Siyah ís a kernel... Just make sure you flash the right version. Information is available on www.gokhanmoral.com.

No, just flash Siyah v4 (.tar version) via ODIN. v5 also supports ICS but as far as I remember it had some issues.
ok well the kernel I want to flash is the newest for the galaxy s 2 (siyah v5.0.1) so am I ready to flash or is there anything I need to check or do first? BTW is there a possibility I can brick my phone because my mum won't be happy if I brick it
So what bugs does this kernel have that effects ics because im planning to do a nandroid backup then install cyanogen mod 10.1 jellybean?

You can flash it with Odin. Read about it first, so you won't end up bricking it because you've missed something. But if you follow the correct steps you won't brick it.

You can do a Nandroid back up after flashing Siyah. There won't be anything wrong with this back up.

Make sure you dont perform and wipes or cleans before flashing siyaah kernal. Your on 4.0.4 ics which the stock kernal that has the brickbug. I repeat be careful not to wipe, clean or backup anything before you install siyaah kernal. After you have, then its all good mate. Good luck.

Hello XDA.
I have a i9300 that is running Siyah kernal and dual booting Supernexus 2.0 and NULL 24.1.
What I would like to do however is revert this back to a stock kernal with the fastest most stable stock ROM out.
I'm not 100% sure in the best way to do this?
Replace the kernal with stock, download the ROM then just wipe the phone before install?
Any tips/tricks/guides welcome and appreciated

Back up your device, flash stock firmware with odin. restore your backup that's all.
Use the back to stock guide, all explained in there.

Hi!

What is it that i have to do to get my phone working with Omegas newest ROM and also with the newest Neatrom 4.8??
Do i need the dorimanx 9.sometin kernel for the newest OmegaROM? Which kernel for
I do have the insanechip and as i remember Siyah was the safest kernel last time i did theese kind of things?
So, can someone kindly guide me trough this as I am sure that I am missing something that f**ks everything up..
Thanks in advance //Mathias
