Actually I am new to android so dont know much. I should just go into recovery and flash it straight forward? Or I would need to change kernel too?
I've never used that particular rom, so I have absolutely no idea. As I said in my previous post, go to the thread devoted to the rom & read the instructions (read the entire first page).

first go into recovery mode and wipe everything factory reset and cache late format data format cache and last thing wipe dalvik cache and later on you can install your new rom. you dont have to change kernel because rom has its kernel in it.
how did u get on sensation with siyah kernel...??????

Hello everybodies,
I want to give my Samsung Galaxy S2 to my mum after buying myself a nice and warm S3! ^_^
Here's what I'm planning to do:
1/ Wipe with CWM: /cache, /data, /system, dalvik, battery stats, sdcard and external-sdcard, so really everything!
2/ Reboot into Download mode afterwards and flash a stock ROM
My question is: can I do that? Or if I wipe all this stuff I risk not being able to boot in Download mode?
I'm currently using OlloS2 LPX based ROM.

it shouldn't give u any trouble
Download Mode is part of bootloader, so don't worry and wipe freely :good:
Thank you guys!
I know I could find the answer by myself, but I heard that the ROMs LQ5 and LPM have a chance to brick the phone. Therefore, which is the latest safe stock ROM?
U could tru any aokp based rom...they are all safe...
If not search safe ics kernel in search tool and u ll find.some post about wich kernel is safe and.wich not
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Thanks for all. I just flashed LPX and everything ran smoothly.
I did some research for a friend, that needed an ICS sammy rom and just for sum up, any ICS sammy version released or built befor july are safe. Since 9 of july samsung included the erease_emmc_cap lineain their Kernels. so...
the problem is triggered when u want to make a wipe/factory reset. if not u can use them without problems
Yeah I also read that ROMs LQ5 and above have a high risk to brick the phone if any wipe is used with CWM using the CF-Root kernels of these ROMs. Is this what you're talking about?
I've actually formatted the internal memory many times when changing ROMs. The bootloader and kernel is on a hidden partition.

With all due respect sir. I can ask this question. I rooted my first android phone because of xda. I also learned how to flash my first windows phone here at xda years ago by asking questions like this one. I'm sorry if your eyes sore when you see noob like me. And i'm asking for specific parameters like android ver 2.3.5 with speedrom . I can't find any posts that match like that one.

Yes clear. So the things that i have to do is
Revert to stock kernel
Apply cf kernel cwm
Install rom aosp or any other?
Right sir? Thanks

Just flash CM9 in CWM. It will also install CM9 ICS kernel so you're good to go. Maybe you'll need to flash another modem in case your GB modem doesnt work with ICS.
After that, I would recommend to flash Siyah kernel, but its up to you.
P.S. DO NOT EVER USE ROM MANAGER (it comes with CM9)

hey ma8, in dual boot only the kernel is shared b/w the roms

yes u can keep ur current stock firmware(has to be ICS) as ur primary rom along with Siyah kernel version which supports dual boot (Ex v4.1.5 of siyah) and flash any Custom rom of ur Choice which has to be ICS or JB (do not ask which one though since its against XDA rules!) as ur Secondary rom and see

Siyah 4.1.5 is not compatible with the latest CM10 (JB Mali version) and all JB ROMs based on this build. Therefore Siyah cannot boot it.

I had to do that bro...coz at mid night i was stuck and there was no response on this post.
Anyway, i had downloaded the 6th october build of CM10 from http://www.get.cm/?device=i9100
Like i got to know, the latest build might not be compatible. So, now I am downloading the 1st october build (thats the oldest nightly build available dats y)
Should that be fine ?
It might be. But I'm not a 100% positive. You could try n if you're not able to boot, then download another one of the custom ROMs built with a cm10 base available in the development section for now.until siyah is updated to include the new code.
Alternative is to flash the cm10 ROM and stick with the cm kernel for now.

Samsung SGH-I777
2.3.6
I777UCKK6
2.3.35.14
GINGERBREAD.UCKK6
sorry but I dont generally mess with her phone , she does have root and cwm touch 5.5.0.4 . There seems to be a wifi problem it turns on and then off , never sticking , I suppose wiping all might help , I hate seeming naive but when I mess with my own phone its all a chance , I dont want to just do that with hers!
There are a lot of stable roms. Do you want touchwiz based or AOSP based? I don't have an opinion on AOSP roms because I've barely used any of them.
For Samsung based roms, Shoman94's roms are very stable and popular. That's what I use as my daily driver. For ICS, use SHOstock2, but for the latest JB use SHOstock3.

When you flash a new ROM you will have to wipe. Also that's caused by using a foreign kernel aka one from galaxys2root.com

If I remember correctly, I think that version of the Siyah kernel was put out by zedomax on GalaxyS2Root website. That kernel combined with UCKK6 was always a problem. In fact, that package was always a problem.
Anyway, the kernel has ClockworkMod Recovery. You should decide on a good rom, as discussed above, download the zip file and use usb to transfer it to the sdcard on the phone, then boot into recovery, perform a wipe data/factory reset, and flash the rom. It doesn't matter that you are on Gingerbread right now. You can flash either an ICS or JellyBean rom because the package will contain the complete system and kernel and modem, everything.
---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------
Enter recovery by holding down all three of vol + vol - and power buttons continuously until it boots into recovery. If it won't boot into recovery, then it might be a bad flash.
Thank you, I got the siyah kernel from a thread here,when I first got the phone (off ebay )it did in fact have the wrong kernel,I used entropy flash back to get back,I guess I did something else,but I will use one of the roms you mentioned ,glad we have you here ,I've been messing with wp7 the last few years and finally getting back to android (cept been playing with boot loaders in a500)

It is exactly that, a counter, and the only purpose of it as far as we know is warranty protection, so I would say no, it's not important. On the other hand, most folks don't like the splash screen with the yellow triangle, but you can remove that easily enough if you still get it on boot.

No, just flash Siyah v4 (.tar version) via ODIN. v5 also supports ICS but as far as I remember it had some issues.

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.

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.
