Dear friends !!!
I have a
Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G
Baseband version: I9100GXXKL4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7
[email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXLB1
so I created a folder on /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
Then pasted SuperROM_v3.0 folder into backup, so far so good.....
Now CWM factory reset, wipe cache, all good till now.
Now when I want to select the clockworckmod folder, It kinda flashes up but it want go inside, at the butom it says No files found
So I thought ok Lets try SuperROM v 1.0 first, but by downloading its 2 parts (001 and 002) and the zip file lokks kinda broken, can see the files but not able to extract the from the rar (zip)
As last night I updated my girlfriends to the android 4.0.3 on her I9100, I love to get the look of it with the superRom V3.1 hopefully.....
So to all you I9100G MASTERS please help !!!!!
hey DonSkazi
did you copy superom 3.0 in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ from cwm directly because it wont detect unless you reboot the recovery or did you make a folder sdcard then in it clockworkmod then backup and then you copied the superrom v3.0.
Hey darkshadow1997 !!!!
Thank for your fast reply !!!! Yeaaaah what I did was actualy unzipt it on to my desktop, then moved it via USB Cable to download, and then with Root Manager I moved it over to the string: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup (clockworkmod and bakup i had to creat by myself.
Could you please write me down the exact steps. so I can give it a try....
Hope we can get it 2 work !!!!!
Talk 2 U later!!!
Thanks so far!!!
sorry for a late replay but you dont need root manager for this. All you have to do is make a folder clockworkmod in your internal sd then in it backup then you copy superrom v3.see attachment on how it should look like. last thing you just need your computer no android app for this and the clockworkmod should be copied to internal sd not external sd(micro sd). not sure if it the same in all i9100g phones but the internal sd should be 11gb or 10.9gb.Good luck. And if you need help in porting themes then send me a message i can help you out.and if you did not understand anything tell me on which part then i will try and explain once i get back from school today but right now i need some sleep for school.

i dont think u need to unzip the files. just leave it as zipped in your folder and use cwm to flash it

Hey my friends !!!!
Happy Face Modus on........xxxxxxxxxxxD
Finaly I got the SuperROM v3.0 and the v.3.1 on my I9100G
The I found a ICE THeme in blue on
But after Updating it my 14 toggle mod was gone away Is there a way to use that ICE theme withe the SuperROM v3.1 ?!
As well at start up I have the Samsung Galaxy S 2 GT-I9100G screen + the yellow triangle, I would love to get rid of both, so how can I put a custom one at start up??!!
Plus, I put a bootanimation.zip (containing part0, part1 and desc.txt) in Superatmos, but still by rebooting device the samsung bootanimation is showing up.....very SAD !!!!
I know that there is a file in system/media that is in charge of the samsung boot animation........
I am sorry, its many questions, but I realy would like my I9100G be pimped as hell.......lol.....xxxxxxxxxxxxxxD
hey DonSkazi
you have very easy problems to fix
Yellow Triangle:heres a short way to remove it
1.get ktool from google play (its free)
2.get any stock kernel,here is one of kl3 link:http://www.mediafire.com/?ss1n1u1zzdlht5c
3.open ktool and select dump current kernel then select reboot to download mode
4.with odin select the stock kernel and flash
5.the yellow triangle is gone so is cwm
6.to get cwm back, open ktool and select flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage and reboot
7.And you are done with no more yellow triangle and will have cwm back.
Bootanimation:if the copy bootanimation to superatmos folder didnt work it could be kernel issue since superrom 3.0 have its own built in kernel so just copy bootanimation.zip in system/media and reboot.
ICS Theme:well as for this one i am not sure if my answer will be correct since i am using my own ported theme but what version did you download was 3.0 or 3.1
because if you flashed ics theme 3.0 on superom 3.1 then you will lose 14 toggle. if you did a backup in cwm then you can restore the backup and flash the correct theme.but if you did no backup then you have to start from the beginning.there is a reason if you flash a theme upon a theme then there will be some parts left of an old theme.when it says ics theme 3.1 it means the theme is based on superrom 3.1 and will only work for superrom 3.1 so check the version before downloading and flashing.
Hello Hello
Ok i tryed to install the v3.1 again, but that ICS Theme is still on, I did wipe data/factory restet and wipe cach partion, but no way to get the 14 toggle back.... I think I will get CRAZY!!!!!!
hey DonSkazi
sorry for an extremely late replay,i was on diner with my family and friends. when i said to start over i mean flash back to stock.heres what you have to do
1.get any stock rom for i9100g.if you get the wrong firmware you will hardbrick your device.so make sure that its for i9100G
2.now go to cwm then go to mounts and storage now format data,cache and last system.this is to remove traces of custom rom.
3.open odin and select pda then browse for your firmware
4.select start and wait till its done.
you will have a un-rooted stock rom.so just flash a custom kernel you will get the yellow triangle at boot you can remove by following my last post.since you already know how to restore superromv3.0 there's no need to explain that.now remember two
1.if you were to modify the custom rom lets say theme it in this case always make a backup in cause if you mess up
2.you can get any stock rom it wont affect the performance in anyway i was using a old stock firmware when i restored superromv3.0 i was on dzkj2.

this thread is open to help newbies to install the 2.1 custom rom with the simples way..
you also can discuss any problem here..
dont mess the dev thread with a dumb question...
thanks to "Perceval from Hyrule" for the original tutorial..
this is revise version for 2.1
INSTALLATION FOR 2.1 AOSP
Before attempting anything, make sure you have AT LEAST 50% of battery charge. Don't try anything with low battery, you can abort the flashing and brick your device !!!
Please make sure you're also running a 2.1 rom (Generic, nordic, official, custom...)
1st step:
make sure your computer is adb debugging ready..
in case in need for command execution..
- Download Android SDK
You don't need to save the entire archive (but you can), you just need the Tools folder (because it contains ADB, the Android Debug Bridge we need to install files).
2nd step:
- On x10 :
Enable USB debugging (Setting > Applications > Development).
Root your device. easiest way by using z4root.
Download and install Busybox (from Market), make sure it says "Done!".
3rd step:
install xrecovery for recovery menu.
xrecovery a.k.a recovery menu
4th step:
option 1:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip)
rename the *.ZIP to Update.ZIP
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
option 2:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip) or in any folder u like
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
5th step:
boot into recovery menu (by restart and hit few times back button when "SONY ERICSSON" word appear)
backup your original rom(in case u want to restore next time)
hit full wipe
option 1:
hit install update.zip from SD card
option 2:
hit install custom zip
search for the custom zip in folder where u save it
hit the zip file
after reboot, u will get custom rom installed in your X10
good luck ;-)
TIPS
1-u can do like rendeiro2005 said by creating rom folder and put the rom collection in it..
so if u want to change or try other rom just choose zip file from the particular folder...
this require using step from option 2
2-another one, by creating folder which contain backup image..
u can collect your friends backup image and put in one folder..
if u want to try, just restore the particular image file using backup/restore option in recovery menu and choose the backup image file..
collection of custom rom backup file for recovery menu:

Hi bro,
Only two calls on your excellent tutorial:
1. No need to put the rom in the root of the sdcard. I, for example, to distinguish the roms, I`ve created a folder "Rom" in the root and put the roms in there.
2. It is not necessary to rename the *. zip file.
When we entered the xRecovery, you can go to "install Custom Zip> zip Choose Custom from sdcard>" Now in my case I a. .. "Roms >........" and I intend to choose

it`s not a different way.
i think that way would be more simple (for me at least) `couse you can have different roms puted on the same directory without, everytime that you want to install one change his name to default.zip
but...great TUT (clap your hands floks)
Since i haved installed the 2.1 AOSP, my recovery were deleted !
So i install the xrecovery.apk but it doesnt work (don't fin the SD Card), so i paste the 3 files with root explorer but nothing to do... the recovery doesn't work at all =(

Install all 3?! Yes you can...if you want you can install WM and iOS
Now mre seriously.
If you want to install 2.1 you have to format sdcard to one partition only. 2.1 doesn't work with more than 1.
Then you can flash...follow this guide to do so

Waiting for Optimized ROMS. Yes I agree the phone has a lot of capability!
should I really make it?
cause I found one rom while searching one net
yodeput created a custom ROM based on the S5360XXKI6 stock ROM that has the following changes / features:
Modifications:
DT Apps2SD pre-installed.
Rooted
init.d subsystem.
Re-odexed (optional) and zipaligned for speed and save space in /data.
Added busybox and sqlite3.
Updated/added AdwEx, Quickboot, Root Explorer, Titanium, Spareparts
Removed unwanted apps (Swype,....)
Notes:
Before flash this ROM, your sdcard must be partitioned (FAT & ext2)
Flash with ODIN
don't forget HardReset after that

Sure man you should make it...
Does CWM for Galaxy Y out yet ?
i dont think its out yet...
pls make a very nice rom for this phone.
i hope and i think some people whit me that you make a nice rom

Hi,
I currently own a rooted SGS2,
I rooted it yesterday and it has Superuser and CMW.
I am trying to flash İCS REMİX ROM V7.1 XXLP2 4.0.3 resurrection
Ive downloaded and put it into phone/clockworkmod/backup folder (or whever it is supposed to be)
when i reboot my phone into CMW recovery mode and i choose to restoe the downloaded custom Rom, it says it cannot find system.img cache.img etc etc.. and then it says it has skipped the restore process.
when i checked the folder that i downloaded from İCS REMİX ROM V7.1 XXLP2 4.0.3 resurrection, all the files are in .tar format except the boot.img
anyone know how to solve this??
Some1 just had same problem, and I thinkbthe files are in tar format so if they are, learn more about flashing.

CWM backup
It is a CWM backup, you have to put the zip file you get after unrar in the folder sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. DO NOT UNZIP
I did that, and after I unrar-ed the downloaded file, I got a folder containing tar files , one md5 file and a boot.img
I also had some trouble restoring this ROM and what worked for me was to get a standard 4.0.3 ROM that you can install from zip from the sdcard and then only do the restore from the backup as they say in the intro of that thread.
Hope this helps

I currently do have a different 4.0.3 Rom installed from zip on my Galaxy s2,
so what you did was you did a restore from backup with ICS remix rom 7.1??
Yes I unzipped the File and copied the folder to the clockworkmod/backup folder. Then boot into cwm go backup and restore and restore from that date folder. Thanks to Wescrip and all the dev on that thread. They've done an awesome job so far.

I did exactly what you mentioned above, however I get error messages such as data.img not found cache.img not found,... then it says it's skpped it all and the restoration process becomes aborted...
is it because the files in the folder are in .tar format not .img?
That might be a problem with the Kernel or the CWM version you using. Not too sure.
What I can tell you is these are the steps I followed and they worked 100% for me.
1. For the first ROM i installed I downloaded this one - http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/roms/CM9ICS/update-cm-9-SGS2-01122012-signed.zip
(Thanks to max at galaxy S2root.com for the link)
2. I did a full wipe and factory reset from CWM and then installed this zip file from sdcard.
3. I booted my phone and let it start up. Then switch off again and go into CWM.
4. Then chose restore from backup and restore (as you will see CWM is now 5.5.x.x which might have a influence not sure)
5. Let it start up and bob's your uncle.
Edit : just fyi there seems to be a problem with the cwm that comes with that rom as it doesn't read the sdcard and I couldn't restore from it. So either you must flash a new cwm from odin when you want to restore to your old rom or install the first rom again so you have a working one and then restore.
I tried to install a custom rom yesterday. Unluckily I treid to do it quickly before leaving the house. I rooted my tab, then copied the custom rom file and the Gapps file to my internal storage card and also installed a newer CWM version. At some point I must have formated my entire Date because there are no files left on my internal storage card. The tab goes up to the Samsung Logo and that's it. I'm guessing that there is no OS installed on the device. (Galaxy Tab 10.1n 3G - GT-P7501)
Now to my questions:
How can I copy the ROM File to the internal storage card using odin or any other programm? I can go into the download mode and I can start CWM.
Do I have to install anything else or should the Rom be enough?
I read somewhere, that I should copy the PIT File to my tab but I can't find the file anywhere!
After spending the last 4 hours looking for answers and a solution I hope that someone here can help.

You can't use odin to copy a file to your device and the mount sd-card option in CWM has never worked for me.
What you need to do is flash a stock odin file with its pit file and then you can reroot and reflash CWM.
Put the rom and gapps on your tab,
and hopefully then you can flash the rom everything will work correctly.
Here is a link to the odin tar file I use: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3mpm0lez9ikbzvf/Stock-3.2-HTJ85B.UEKMM.tar
You can find a tutorial for flashing this on XDA somewhere.
Thank you so much!!
It didn't work at first but after taking the tab out of the docking station and changing the usb port it finally flashed everything without hanging at the bin file. i will try to install a custom rom now.
thanks again!

No problem! I'm just glad it all worked out for you!
I am facing same problem but with TWRP recovery mode. I wiped out sdcard and all data. I am using P7500 tab. Can you help me through the process. All I can do it right now is go it recovery mode, nothing else.
well, just do what highriser posted, download odin, download a tar file that represents a Gtab ROM and flash it to your tab using download mode. As I am at work I can not provide you with links to the files (as online storage is blocked by our IT Security).
Check this thread and pay attention to the "UNROOTING & RESTORING STOCK RECOVERY" part.

Hi people. I've been browsing a lot lately and Reading about roms, kernel, and other stuff related to customization of Android devices. I consider myself enough tech-savvy to understand technical things about hardware on this devices but when it comes to all the thing related to flashing roms and kernels and related things i have no clue of what you're talking about, lol.
However, I'm really interested on "installing" Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Player 4 just to see what happens and how flashing roms feels like, so i can try different roms later and enhance my device. But no matter how hard I try to find a tutorial about how to begin from total stock (as the device comes from the store) haven't been lucky finding one. As far as I know the first step is flashing a new kernet with CWM, so then i can flash the roms. But I'm stuck on Step One :s
So, if there's a link you can post here to help begin with this flashing trend it'd be great. Or if you can redact a "custom" tutorial for me, a total programming noob but interested as hell about modifying my GP4 that would be a thousand times better.
Also, feel free to recommend me kernels or roms or whatever you feel i could use
Thanks!!!
PD: not native english speaker
I just finished doing this exact thing myself, so its fresh in my mind First, BACK UP!! there are different methods with varying degrees of how much they back up, search the forum for them. Definitely backup the efs. Instructions are in the first post for the CM10 ROM. Then, I began by flashing a custom kernel using Odin. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the Tips and Tricks section of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27615927
Kernels can also be found in the appropriate section of that post. Make sure you get one for your device. All of them include CWM (ClockworkMod) which is what you need to easily flash a full ROM. The kernel won't actually effect your current operating system accept to maybe improve performance.
Next, download the ROM file(s) onto your device. ROMs are also in the above post. Again, make sure you get one for your device. Read the instructions in the ROM thread on how exactly to flash them, but the general procedure is to boot into CWM by holding some set of buttons during start up (probably power + volume up) and navigate the CWM menu to flash the ROM.

BACKUP!!!
flash rom and gapps
reboot
thanks a lot for the help!
Now a question... When you tell me to make a backup, what exactly should I backup and with what program or app? Installed Titanium BAckup app and all i see is the option to backup individual apps. I expected to find something like "total backup of the device" or a similar thing that bacups the whole thing...
please tell me what to use and what to do
thanks a lot again

Ok i downloaded both Odin and the Terra Silent kernel. Samsung kies is already installed so Odin is detecting my galaxy player.
But the terra silent kernel is a zip file, if i extract it the extracted file has no extension, only says zlimage and i have no idea what it is. Then, when I open Odin, there are the next options:
PIT
BOOTLOADER
PDA
PHONE
CSC
where should i upload the zlimage?

That's because you're suppose to flash it via CWM. If it's a tar file, you flash it via Odin. And you're not suppose to extract it, lol.

PDA is the one, I believe.
Is Terra Silent compatible with CM10??? Reading the thread of Terra Silent a user made a comment on this asking the developer (i guess) to make Terra Silent compatible with CM10.... :s
ok now i have some problems...
got to flash the Terra Silent Kernel. After rebooting everything was ok. Installed Rom Manager in order to install CWM. Rom Manager installed CMW and then came back to main menu. There was an option for creating a copy of the stock rom, thought it wolud be a good idea to make a copy. When i did it, phone went black and then reboted. after rebooting came back to the lock screen but changed language (spanish -> english). Algo noticed there was missing the google search bar. When entered to the apps menu there were a lot of icons of the android robot with an SD card symbol over. When clicked them it says that the apps are not installed on the system.
installed rom manager again, and went to recovery boot. flashed both cm9 and cm 10 included in the cm 10 thread. Now my playr is stuck in the recovery screen...
what do i do?

You internal SD card is probably switched for the external.
Find "vold.fstab. (system/etc)" open it, and change "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard1" to "/mnt/sdcard/sdcard0."

Wait, before doing any changes like this, have you tried on going mnt/emmc or storage/sdcard1? @TheKryptonite he have a 4.0 and the sdcard is working without changing the paths.

I did this change, switched numbers and now i can see the files on the sd card. Only that before flashing CM 10 the access to the sd card was through a folder calles "externa sd", now the sd card files and folders are scattered on the home screen of any file explorer i acess the sd card with. It's not a big ideal but i dont like it.
When i edited the file you told me there was a 1 after where now says sdcard 1. Shoud that number be erased or better keep it?
