[Q] Can't flash any other kernal expect Siyah ver. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright so i just tried flashing couple of kernals like N.E.A.K, Thoravukk
None of them pass Galaxy SII GT-I9100 logo.
• I wiped dalvik - cache & cache partion(before flashing kernal)
• Used Ultimate kernal cleaning script
• Did a factory reset & re-flashed rom
Thing is that if i flash any siyah kernal Back, phone boots up normal
But whenever i flash any other kernal it turned black(maybe turned off) after Galaxy SII boot logo
Roms i have tried
• Ressurection remix pro v1.1(AOSP)
• -----------------------v1.4(AOKP)
Any help would be appreciated !!
Thanks !

I've had problems with Siyah too, it bricked my SD's ability to install ROMs properly ._.

Try full wiping your phone and then install checkrom v6. After that if everything works, flash your other rom and then try to flash the kernel again.
That's all I can say...
Have a good day and good luck ;]

Help flashed Kernel but not turning on

Hi
Urgent help needed bought another galaxy s2 for someone. Successfully rooted, cwm using odin and unlocked using Galaxy_S Unlock app from the market.
Then I got bit carried away and installed mui rom from rom manager, went ok went fine.
I got further excited and flashedstock Kernel_I9100XWKK5 via odin. It flashed fine boot galaxy boot screen turns on but then screen goes blank and nothing.
Still got cwm.
Flashed original rom BVKE2 but still same problem
Please help not sure what to do!!!!!!!
Hey, it seems a corrupt kernel is the culprit... in CWM, do:
- a wipe of a cache partition
- a wipe of dalvik cache
- install zip from sdcard -> Samsung Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script
- flash a kernel, like SiyahKernel 2.6.5
- reboot
if it doesn't work, try reflashing any custom rom (for example VillainRom)
thanks mate i think realised the error i made just flashed kernel and not the rom!!!
trying it now i've got boot loop now. step closer

Resurrection help

I´ve moved from stock I9100XXKP8_I9100OXAKP8 to Resurrection Remix ics v1.7[4.0.4] and now I get stuck on the boot logo or it shows the boot logo and then it goes black (depending on which kernel I flash to try to fix it...I´ve already tried flashing a CF root kernel, Siyah and CM9 KERNEL remix edition to no avail.
I CAN get into recovery mode. Before flashing the rom I´ve done a wipe data/factory reset, a wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions. I´m currently with kernel CM9 KERNEL remix edition.
Any thoughts on what I should do?
Update - when I put the battery in the phone starts by it self and it stays on the boot screen (Samsung Galaxy S II - GT-I9100)
I would suggest trying to install an older version and upgrading from there. I've been on RR since 1.3 and have not had any problems each time I have upgraded. I clear the caches but I don't do a factory wipe each time.

Help!!!!! SGS2 i9100 get stuck at splash sreen logo after flashing Resurection 2.5.2

Hi all,
ytd, I flashed the rom resurrection 2.5.2. After that my phone won't continue from bootscreen Samsung Galaxy S2 and yellow trangle.
- Download mod works fine.
- Clockworkmod works fine.
I tried to find solution, I flashed back to stock rom and root it using Odin, it works fine.
- Stock rom works fine.
I flashed via odin again the ICS (4.0.3) recovery package/ROM and it works fine.
But When I install new rom via CWM:
- CM9 won't work (stuck at bootscreen forever)
- Resurrection 2.5.2 (Stuck at siyah kernel bootimage after Samsung SGS 2 logo bootscreen)
- CM7 works fine.
I already wipe/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, clear cache partition. Format SD card...... it still won't help.
I've installed and tested roms so many times, this is my first time problem.
I know you have done the necessary to try solve this but try in this order:

It is strange that Gingerbread works but not ICS.

[SOLVED]SGS2 issues upgrading to Jelly Bean

Hello, I hope this is the right group.
I have spent the last 2 days trying to get JB working on my SGS2. I previously had ICS Hydra h2o 1.4.1 ROM on my device.
The troubles started when I tried booting into CWM recovery. The phone wouldn't go past the yellow triangle so I had to use ODIN to flash stock Samsung ICS ROM on the phone to get it working again. I have since tried multiple JB ROMs with different kernels but most of them get past the yellow triangle but then stop on logos varying between kernels. I am also unable to boot into CWM recovery and must flash a CF-Root kernel using ODIN to get into recovery.
It is strange that this happens only with JB ROMs and I have no trouble installing Hydra h2o again through recovery.
I always use the same method of installing ROMs through CWM:
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik
- install .zip from sdcard
I have also tried fixing permissions before and after flashing ROMs, nothing seems to get me into the OS.
One ROM, Vanilla RootBox, I have found to sometimes boot all the way into the OS but the system frequently freezes and is unstable. Looks amazing tho.
Do you have any ideas on how I could get JB ROMs working with my SGS2? Is there anything I am missing?

Follow this:
-boot to CWM recovery
-wipe data /factory reset
-wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
-format /system (under mount and storage)
-flash ROM
-flash Gapps (for jelly bean)
-fix permissions
-reboot phone
Done
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Thank you for the reply, but that method does not seem to work either.
One thing I have noticed though is when I select wipe data/factory reset it reports an error formatting /sdcard/.android_secure.
Is this something that could be causing my problems?

When I'm flashing I'm using XLPB kernel with CF-root. That's the kernel I flash to get into CWM when the ROMs misbehave.

Gives me Kernel panic or stops at the triangle loading screen. Seems the only way to get into CWM is through CF-root.

Use a newer version of siyah or dorimanx, they should work fine
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I have tried three versions of syiah, including 4.1.4 but I will try dorimanx and report with the results.
edit: dorimax kernel is the same.
One thing I noticed tough is whenever I wipe dalvik cache the system reports "unknown volume for /ext-sd blablabla" - maybe this is connected to my problem?
I am at a complete stop...
No JB kernels seem to work whatsoever. Is there any wit to flash the bootloader? Or is that even possible?
I really would like to get JB working on my device.
There must be something about the previous state of my phone, some files or folders that are in the way or are missing or somewhat. Is there any way to completely reset the phone? Not just factory resetting it since that is not working.
edit: Progress! These are my steps:
- Downloaded fresh stock Samsung ROM and another version of CF-root.
- Flashed stock ROM and then CF-root kernel.
- Booted into recovery and did the whole wipe.
- Flashed .zip twice (don't know if that did the trick or what)
- Wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions.
After that the phone booted normally and I'm now running ResurrectionRemix with Android 4.1.1, hoping it wil be awesome as ****.

[Q] S2 Reboots while starting Android

Hi,
Today I tried ti flash an Android 4.2.2 Rom. First I installed Siyah Kernel and then SuperNexus 2.0.
The Problem is, that the Phone restarts while booting up Android, sometimes when the X is shown up and sometimes a few seconds later.
I made a factory reset and wiped all Data. I tried another Rom (Slim Bean) but there was the same Problem.
Please Help Me,
Maize
After you flashed rom you flashed a kernel? If yes probably kernel is incompatible else try rom nuke script and flash rom and gapps again
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel
that doesn't work, any other Ideas??? and i didn't flash a kernel after flashing the rom

Flash rom and kernel nuke scripts via recovery.
Flash Rom.
If you still get reboots go back into recovery and wipe data/factory reset and reboot device.
Which specific model of S2 do you have?
Same problem, it's a SGS2 I9100
