Very happy with V2.1 but interested in trying out V2.2.
So, is it possible to upgrade from Resurrection Remix V2.1 to V2.2 without having to go through all the hassle of reinstalling apps and settings? Also can I retain the Siyah kernel rather than changing to CM9 kernel?
Cheers

before changing to a different kernel
it's recommended to use this kernel cleaning script

Yea just make a nandroid backup and flash 2.2 over 2.1 without wiping data. And if if it changes your kernel just flash siyah again

Stoked, so to make a nandroid backup do I simply use CWM provided with the current ROM? I've found the kernel cleaning script useful in the past due to weird overheating associated with cooked voltage settings
Is the CM9 recovery console (for flashing) similar to siyah? As I would have thought Odin is a last resort due to that pesky yellow triangle

Hi guys, after a little patience I'm now very interested in ics upgrade.
My s2 runs kk5 stock rooted cause I don't wanna miss features like mhl tv-out.
So my doubts are:
Is possible to flash kp8 with mobileodin?
What about bootloader? Jig still working?
To switch back to kk5 restore nand backup is enough or also other needs to be downgraded?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Jussy.

Then i suggest you wait until it officially comes out rather than flashing a leaked version that isn't finished. Until it comes out you can read the faq's on here and familiarize yourself with flashing.
The current ics leaks and cm9 are both not really ready to be daily drivers due to instability and missing features, only try if you know what you are doing, if you are use you want to try, make sure to take a nandroid and read the relivent threads.

Thanks for your fast and kind reply.
I'll wait for a stable release.
I have KK5 stock and rooted using cfroot kernel with the old jig compatible bootloader as my favourite firmware.
I also have been using cm9 which I like a lot. The missing features and bugs don't effect my daily usage.
I never flashed the ics bootloader and never experienced any problems.
I made a backup of kk5 via CWM and flashed cm9 then gapps then faceunlock then wiped as directed in cm9 1st post. Setup my phone how I wanted it then when I was happy with everything I made a backup via CWM of cm9.
Ive been restoring either KK5 or cm9 via CWM and so far not had any hassles flipping between them.
When I want to checkout a new version of cm9 ive been able to restore my CWM backup of cm9 then flash New version then flash gapps then faceunlock then wipe cache. This has not wiped my cm9 setup and data and all has been good to use. No FC etc.
Hope this helps.

You can flash almost any ROM with almost any kernel, but ZombieAss will boot and run recent i9100 based ROMs. As in, you can't use ZombieAss with the official ICS ROMs from AT&T. If you're on stock 2.3.4, you can go ahead and flash any ICS ROM from their threads as long as it's for our phone -- the i777. They should automagically flash an ICS kernel.
In short, use ICS kernels with ICS roms, Gingerbread kernels with Gingerbread roms, but any kernel with CWM can flash anything without trouble.
Just pick your ROM and go in my opinion! pretty much all of the ICS ROMs include a kernel that will include CWM. (exception being the ATT leaks, but i believe even the one built by Task650 includes a kernel with CWM)
Kernel for ICS ROMs
I use overclocked kernels by SebastianFM on Android Revolution HD ROMs. Combination of the two works best for me.
You can also check out faux123's released kernels. Also very nice work (with ZRAM)

To the OP,, do not flash sensation things! I'd assume they'd fail to install anyways,, but if they didn't,, you might be in for fun!
Yeah man, I'm on HTC. That's what happens when you're a noob.

Just to be sure though, first I have to flash a kernel with Odin that has CWM, then flash a ROM directly from internal/external sd? Or. Can I just flash a any ROM with Odin? . Just don't want to mess up and have to use the return to stock method. Thanks

Once you have CWM (any CWM), you can go pretty much anywhere without returning to stock.
People that complain about bootloops didn't know the most basic rule of flashing:
ALWAYS WIPE DATA IN CWM WHEN SWITCHING FIRMWARES! (usually no wiping needed when switching kernels though.)
Suggested order, in my opinion:
Flash a Gingerbread kernel with CWM, such as my Daily Driver for Gingerbread
Do a Nandroid backup of your current setup (Backup and Restore in CWM) - Enter CWM using the three-finger combo, NOT via ROM Manager
Once you've done a backup - flash something. If it's in these forums, it should be safe. I suggest reading the threads for various releases to get a feel for things. Don't ask what's best - that is a matter of taste.

DON'T use Odin from your computer! Using Odin trips the flash counter and that'll probably give you headaches later. Use Mobile Odin instead, you can find it here under Step 3a, it allows you to flash zip files (lite version is free, allows you to flash only kernels from the phone itself)

Read same thread. Steps 2a-d detail four different ways to root. I think you would do well to read the thread's OP in it's entirety a few times before you try anything.

There is one tar ball available for Entropy's daily driver kernel. It's the top one in the list of downloads, named DD_01232012.tar. If you flash it, you will increment the flash counter and invoke the yellow warning triangle on boot, but you can reset the flash counter and remove the yellow triangle with a usb jig, or if you install ICS on the phone, you can get the same result using chainfire's Triangle Away application. And by all means, read the full OP of my guides, and any other follow up information you can find, so that you will have a solid foundation for making decisions as you go forward.

Right now only my Gingerbread kernels have a .tar download available.
It is my opinion that no one should be going straight to ICS yet without already having some experience with kernel flashing/installing CWM/nandroiding their current Gingerbread firmware as a backup/properly testing custom firmwares, which is why only my Gingerbread kernels have .tar files. ICS on our devices is still too new.

Thanks for all the help. I actually downloaded mobile odin, then used doomlords easy rooting tool, then flashed, I forgot the name but it was something like "one kernel to rule the all", flashed with mobile odin, and got CWM, then installed you current daily driver, made a Nandroid backup, and now I'm ready to flash. I had one more question, what is the difference between the regular Nandroid backup and the advanced? And should I be backing up regular, or the advanced way?

kindly assist me in this matter.thanks.
What type of Rom are you trying to flash?
Most custom roms include a kernel so you you will have to refresh back to your preferred kernel.
Or you can open the zip file and replace the kernel of your choice as long as it matches your firmware version, ie GB kernel for a GB rom etc.

any kernel may not work with any ROMs...almost all samsung firmware versions has got its own versions of Kernel.
In SGS2 normaly custom kernels are used for rooting your phone, like CF-root, whcih are made for almost all the samsung firamware matched kernels, you only want to pick the one matching for your ROM.
It is also seen sometimes advised to back up your Kernel, this can be done using a tool from Market called "Ktool", at a worst scenario, when your installed custom kernel giving you a treble you can restore the previous one.
EDIT : you are already on a custom ROM as well as Custom Kernel. both have got their newer versions alredy.
checkrom is now on V6, and Siyah kernel is now on v2.6.14
Well your still on gingerbread and an early kernel and early checkrom. There are many roms and kernels you can try the best for battery life us what works best for you and only you can figure that out with testing.
Try out an ICS Rom if you haven't done so already and there are now custom kernels for that as well.

I meant the kernel that is already included with the rom when you flash it. So just flash the rom and you don't need to install another kernel after it.
Here is a link to the Resurrection rom:

Hope this helped you
If you flash a rom it replaces the kernel you've been using with that of the rom you're flashing...
Soooo
Eg cm9 + siyah
If you flash a new nightly it'll replace siyah with cm9s kernel so you have to flash siyah each time.
Think that makes sense..!

Ok I am really confused about this. So I just rooted my new Galaxy S II I got (the CF method using ODIN) and I was considering installing Cyanogenmod. However I changed my mind when I decided I could put a kernel on the stock instead. Now when I read thread for the kernel (as well as going to the website) it says it includes CWM touch Recovery with gesture support. Now does this mean when I flash the kernel with the recovery I got from rooting, it will also flash over the current recovery to the touch one? If I get OTA updates and apply them, will it remove the kernel and my root access? Also I am wondering has anyone had problems with this kernel?
Thanks for all the help.
Ainslie.
1) If you flash Siyah, it will overwrite/replace the current version of recovery you have, yes.
2) If you flash any stock firmware (including OTA updates), yes, of course you'll lose root. Any update will have a new stock kernel which will replace your existing kernel. If you do an update, you'll need to re-root your phone.
3) I've been using Siyah since about the 2nd week I got my phone (>8 mths) both Gingerbread & ICS and I've never had any major problems with it.
In saying that, obviously your experience with a given rom or kernel will not be exactly the same as someone else, because everyone has their phone setup differently/uses it differently.
So do a Nandroid backup in CWRecovery before you try Siyah, and if you don't like it, restore your backup. If you're going to use Siyah, I very much recommend you read the dev & discussion threads (certainly since Gokhan has been doing ICS builds at least). Any questions once you've installed it/started using it, ask them in the discussion thread (not the dev thread).
Ah cool thanks.
Also just one more questions.
When the new recovery is flashed with the ROM will the CF-ROOT custom CWM app work with it? Or will I have to download ClockworkMod from the Play Store?

Hi,
When u install siyah kernel, it includes the cwm app with the kernel. And the app is the same app you get in the cf- root kernel.
Siyah kernel is by far superior to cf-root. If you set it up right, you can get much better battery life. And it is so smooth. I would recommend that u use siyah..

If you open that you will find the option to under volt the cpu

the cyanogen bootup logo was extremely slow and when the phone eventually booted up it was unusably lagging.
i has to restore from a backup and when i tried to reinstall siyah again, the same thing happens. I think i am correct to assume that it is the kernel that is causing the problems.
i am now using the stock cm kernal but i am missing the fact i can overclock my beast
anyone else having this issue and will it be fixed on further cm updates or will it be a siyah updating issue??

Have you installed 1st or 2nd rom ?
Have you tried the new update ? (Siyah 1.8.7)
Problem verifyed with: Yank.555 1.4, Siyah 1.8.6
Do not install these kernels with the latest CM10.1 nightly (13. jan) - use stock or Siyah 1.8.7 instead
This is quite strange because I use the Rom ReVolt 3.3.3 available here.
It uses Android 4.2.1 and I have Siyah Kernel 1.8.6.
So there might be a sort of compatibility ...
I have upgraded to the 1.8.7 and its fixed the problem ;]
