[Q] Simple question, maybe? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I just updated my SGS2 to 4.0.3 and just finished flashing it, now I want to install a theme and these are the instructions:
REQUIREMENTS:
- U need rom without any themes or mods install, otherwise u will end up in bootloop
- Don't flash it even over my CWM packages, bootloop
- Make a backup just in case before flashing
- If u are installing mods from 2nd post, use only with name UNIVERSAL. CWM packages over universal theme will take u to bootloop again
- Uninstall JKAY deluxe settings app (when u flash theme, latest version will be installed)
- If u have any other mods (like phone with no inc. record.full pic), remove it. U will install it latter
- REMOVE ALL MODs PLEASE. U WILL INSTALL THEM ALL, LATTER
- if u have older version of JKAY APP (JkayDeluxeSettings), please uninstall
- Patience, installation is just little bit longer
-If u still got bootloops, but ur buttons are litenin, take out battery, put it back, power ur phone. Now u should not have any more bootloops and ur theme will be installed correctly
- Download the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file from the download section below and DO NOT unzip it
- Copy the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file to your INTERNAL SD card
- Boot your phone into CWM (hold Vol Up, Home & Power Button)
- Wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik cache
- Select 'Install ZIP from SD Card'
- Select 'Choose Zip from SD Card'
- Then select the UNIVERSAL.ZIP file you downloaded
- Reboot
- After this you only have to enjoy
The ones I put in BOLD are the ones I am concerned about, because I just finished flashing my phone, does this mean I cant do it, or do NOT flash after installing the theme? And as for mods what type of mods, like Rom Manager SuperSU and Titanium Backup? Just wondering and all because I am new to this, I had installed a nice theme a while back but it was taken off when I updated to 4.0.3, thanks!

If you just flashed stock ICS (not a custom ROM) then you're fine. That would have removed all mods you had anyways.

I flashed it with "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5" and I just installed the theme but it is stuck in bootloop now LOL now what?

That is a CF-Root kernel...
But anyways, try booting to recovery and doing a full wipe. (that may remove the theme you just tried to flash, but I would think you'd rather have a functioning phone...)

Yeah I was afraid I was going to have to do that :'( Now I gotta setup my phone all over again, would Titanium Backup be able to recover everything I backed up with it?
EDIT: I just did that but it is still stuck in bootloop from that dumb theme :'(

Question... you said above you flashed "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5". (which is a kernel, not a firmware or ROM)
Did you operate the phone in between doing that and attempting to flash the theme?
What version of 4.0.3 did you flash before you flashed "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5"? Or did you?

Yes I was using my phone testing the new ICS and setting up all my apps and stuff since it was all unorganized then I wanted a theme because the base theme sucks so I downloaded this: https://sites.google.com/site/vertumusworld/downloads/Themes/Ice-Cream-Sandwich-Domination I downloaded the very first one mirror 1 after I had the theme I was going to flash my phone so I Googled my phone numbers I had XXLPS so I found a download and flashed it from that and it was working fine rooted then I went to install the theme now it just bootloops :/

OH!!! I just found a restore option from earlier today when I backed up everything with Titanium Backup right before I installed the mod, it is restoring now I hope that works and I wont install any themes LOL not risking this again lets see if it works!
EDIT: Okay I managed to get my phone back to around January and its all working just missing some apps and stuff but now I cant upgrade via Kies? So im just going to do a full wipe now and then upgrade then restore all apps with Titanium Backup, thanks for everything though

OK. So first of all, calm down. Second of all, can you explain clearly what you did (step by step), and what isn't working, and what you are trying to do.
I can't make head nor tail of your story, but it sounds like you installed a new ROM and didn't wipe the data, and now can't do something to do with recovery.
Have you read up on flashing etc before doing this?

Your apps will remain unless you did a wipe.
And there is no need to flash recovery each time. This is fixable though. If you are able to flash VR12, it will install a recovery image for you automatically.
Do you have adb set up, as if so, this is pretty easy to do?
What writting comes up?

Help Installing Custom ROM

I'm trying to install this ROM on my Vibrant that's currently running KB5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105037
I saved the .zip file to my SD Card.
I installed ROM Manager and Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery. I'm rooted, so I got the superuser prompt which I said allow to.
I then went to Install ROM from SD Card and chose my ROM. I clicked ok to reboot the phone.
When it booted up, nothing installed and there were no options to install anything.
The top of the screen said Android system recovery (3e) then under it, Samsung Recover Utils.
Doesn't look like I'm booting to CWM.
What am I doing wrong?

go to rom manager and click boot to recovery or something like that, should take you to red or green recovery
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
install rom/file from sd and go down to project v then yes
let it install
go to advanced
wipe dalvik and fix permissions
reboot
leave it for 10 min (dont touch anything)
reboot again
Nope. When I boot to recovery, I get the same screen as if I choose install rom from SD card.
There's nothing about install from SD card on that screen.
Any other ideas?

did you reinstall packages twice from stock recovery screen after flashing clockwork ??
No. why do I have to do that? I don't have the install zip from sdcard at all. Am I even on the right screen?

you need to do that to be able to get into clockwork recovery i think
havent dont it for awhile
3e stock is the issue. Backup. Odin to jfd. Flash the update. Zip, no need for rom manager. Much easier.
Check the noob guide in my signature.
Write, that's a pain. How do I just flash the zip once I'm back on jfd?
Odin, root, flash takes 10 minutes.
Start downloading the files, while you wait read my guide to find the easiest method.
Ok. I'll try that.
Not clear exactly what I do after I ODIN jfd and reboot.
I have the ROM I want on my SDCard. What do I do with update.zip? Am I using CWM to flash the ROM or what's the way to do it without that?

Too late for that. I'm flashing jfd now.
Ok. Files downloaded. Doing ODIN now.
Did I need to do anything with that update.zip?
Stand by, please.
Once jfd boots, move my update to internal root with your rom.
Your phone can be on, both volume s and power for about 9 second, release at Vibrant logo
Stock recovery
Reinstall packages
Do it again
Cwr
Now flash your rom
Boom
Ok. Got CWM to come up and choose to install my zip.
Says Installing: SDCARD: Project_V_06.......
Finding update package....
Been that way for a couple of minutes.
I think something is wrong. It's definitely just stuck there.
EDIT: I did a battery pull, then back into recovery and the ROM is installing now.
I guess it wasn't such a pain. My wife will kill me if I screw this up.
I guess that I figured once I went to JFD, there's really no going back, but if I flashed the ROM directly from the 2.2 ROM I was on, it was a major process anyhow and it wouldn't have been any easier going back.
Waiting for ROM to boot and will then let it sit idle for 10 minutes per instructions.
I really hope this works better than the stock ROM and doesn't have any showstopper bugs or I'll never hear the end.
And hope that my Titanium backup gets everything pretty much back the way it was.
I did backup TWLauncher with Titanium. Can I restore that to this ROM to get my home screen icons back or am I going to need to rebuild my home screen icons because it's a different TWLauncher version?
Cool, linda should be installing voodoo. You're golden.
I'm also on V. Strongly suggest his trigger theme on top. If you have not amazing signal, try the ka6 modem. Only issue with V, I can't stand the stock browser after having the cm7 browser.
I use adw ex, no clue what versions are there.
If you have the paid version of TB, restoring apps is cake. Avoid system apps, do NOT restore those.

Yes, I didn't even back up system apps. I've gone through that on my Droid X and you get the sync thing to never go away.
Maybe I'll try that KA6 modem. I flash that via ODIN, right? Why KA6, in particular?
I think we'll stick with the stock theme
Don't try ka6 until you feel you need to. There are flashable versions.
No stock keyboard included!?
Any way to get that back? I'm sure she's used to using the keyboard the way it was and won't want to learn an alternative keyboard.
I ran bloater and found samsung keyboard and wifi calling there and it says it's installing, but they don't.

Problem with CM9

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

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?
here, check this out:

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.

[Q]Stock recovery vs CWM

Hey guys,
Recently, I have some doubts while shifting ICS rom.
whenever i wipe my phone, and then flash a new rom via CWM.
It seems so good at the begining,
(If I flash mega wipe.zip, the message will pop out right after new rom flashed)
But, if I flash new kernel, the CWM will pop out a message after selected reboot:
Are you sure you want to disable stock recovery?
I always click disable.
But, when boot succesfully, my ROM is recover back to my previous style.
The wall paper has changed, some apps restored.
WHY?
anyone can give me some guide?I want to disable it
Greatly appreciate cuz it so annoying.
I just want a FRESH ROM.

Because I believe you are flashing recovery.img along with the boot.img..just check what is there inside the zip file..
before flashing kernels make sure you have wiped data,cache,dalvik...
If you want a fresh ROM..just flash the ROM after a full wipe..almost always it has the kernel with it ..dont need to flash it later..

[Q] I messed up, no rom?!?!

Hello guys! I think I messed up big time.. I had just rooted my phone and was going to install my new rom (RomAur) from the sd-card (I followed a guide on youtube). Then I used dualrecovery to formate the phone before I installed then phone. But when I did this and my phone rebooted, then I couldn't enter dualrecovery or anything. And my phone is stuck on "SONY". So my guess is that i accidentally deleted my rom... What do I do? .... Im happy for any help I can get! :good:

Hi,
I have edited the title of your thread just to make it a bit more acceptable to all eyes. Also, I have deleted your comments about committing insurance fraud. We don't like to see that kind of thing on XDA

Have you tryed flashtool and flash back to original state ?
When you formatted the system you deleted the recovery as its in that partition
I simple flash of a stock FTF with flashtool will fix it. Or you can force a repair using Pccompanion.
After that, root, install dual recovery and DO NOT FORMAT SYSTEM when you install the ROM.

No, I very rarely format system as when you install the rom it does that.
But what happened here was he formatted the system and then rebooted. Hence no system and no recovery anymore....
