Hi I have Rooted my GS2 Gt-I9100 running 4.03,Using CF Root. Everything OK. I put the Zip File of Miui 2.6 on my SD Card went into CWM Recovery did all I was told and the ROM seemed to Install.,when Finished the Miui Logo came up and thats as far as it went.I then tried to use ODIN 1.85 but I could not get a .tar file out of the download. What am I doing wrong ????. Is the CF kernal not compatible with MiUI or CyanogenMod.. Sorry If I appear Stupid....
Using cwm format cache data system sdcard(not micro sd)
Now flash same miui using cwm.
First boot takes time.
Still issues, download the ROM again
Just go into cwm and wipe data, cache and dalvik. If this doesnt work , reinstall.
But usualy the firste boot takes some time ( can take up to10-15 min)

Hey folks. I'm not entirely new to ROM flashing. I've been flashing numerous ROMs on my Diamond, TouchPro2, and Desire. The actual steps and tools are different but the basic principle remain the same. It's just wipe and flash.
But on the SGS2, the process is getting on my nerves. If I simply do a wipe and flash, I ALWAYS get boot loops. I always have to go through the following steps:
1. Wipe and flash stock ROM via ODIN
2. Flash CF-Root via ODIN
3. Boot the device to the setup wizard.
4. Flash "abc" ROM via CWM or ODIN
Is this actually what all you SGS2 ROM flashing veterans do? Or am I doing something wrong?
Also if I'm on a custom ROM, I can't even do a hard reset without encountering boot loops. I'd have to go through those 4 steps again. It's driving me insane...
Don't wipe through recovery. Format through settings.

This doesn't seem to work either. I was just on Lightning ROM and I did a hard reset by going to "Settings > Privacy". That resulted in boot loops...
As of this moment, I just can't seem to figure out how to flash ROMs or hard reset without being at my PC. Does everybody else always rely on their PC for their ROM flashing needs?
Hmm...something seems wrong here. Here is what I do and normally don't have any issues.
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe dalvik cache.
4. Format system.
5. Install the downloaded rom from sdcard OR go to download mode and flash thru odin depending on zip file or odin file.

For a clean phone i format phone through windows . In recovery format system data and sd card .
Should be no problems left on phone .
Install stock rom via Odin followed by cwm and root copy custom rom to sd card and flash .

I know how to get out of bootloops. The question is, how do I flash ROMs without the PC (ie, without having to flash back to stock rom via Odin)?

The instructions for the rom may require you to have a stock rom or not depends upon what the rom builder decides .Some require custom through Odin other via CWM.Most are CWM flashes and do not mention stock rom at all .

Hello,
I've installed the latest Cognition Rom. Before that I had DlevRom.
When I reboot my device it still runs the DlevRom animation. How do I remove it?
Also, in the Cognition installation notes it says that it does not contain some of the Samsung apps like the Social hub and Game hub, but after reboot it is still there. Why? I did Data/Cache/Delvik wipe and still it is there. Is there any way to remove all old data?
Thanks
Oren
Recovery Mounts and storage formate system data cache and if you want sd card .
Boot to download mode install stock rom install root install custom rom .
That will be a 100% wiped phone if you format sd card .
jje
Stock Rom
Where do I find stock Rom?
Should I also re-install the kernel?
Moving to a new Rom
So is it recommend to install stock rom and kernel and only then move to a new and different Rom?
No the recommendations are to follow the instructions in that roms post .
You wanted to wipe stuff if you format system cache data sd card the phone is empty no firmware no os no nothing .
jje
Moving to new Rom
I get that but I wanted to get rid from all the DlevRom boot animations etc' and it looks like the only way to do that is by flashing to stock rom and then to the desired Rom.
Two types of custom rom WIPE and NO WIPE its as simple as that .
jje
Problem
OK, so I played a bit and then restored to stock rom and kernel.
After that installed a new kernel 2.3.4 CF and then installed Cognition. Now it is stuck on the first boot up screen and nothing happens...
Wiped everything and installed again - nothing...
You wait on custom rom boot up screen 5/10 mins .
I would install stock KH3 rom via Odin and let it boot .
Root rom with CFroot KH3
Boot
Copy Cognition rom to sd card
boot to recovery
Advanced wipe dalvik cache
return wipe cache
Install zip cognition from sd card and wait for it to boot .
jje
Hope it will work
Trying to do that. Strange, it is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy opening screen (the first one - white) and nothing happens...
Hope it will work
Very strange - Cognition problem
Well, did as suggested:
Installed stock kerenl KH3 + Stock rom, then installed CF like here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1237495
Then, updated cognition after a full wipe and again, it is stuck on the first boot screen...

I have installed Cognition as just described no problem wiped it and installed KI3 stock followed by a custom rom .
|You could try removing external SD card if you have one .

Maybe there is a misunderstanding.
Should I install Ki3 ROM? I installed kh3...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
This is what i did .
Format sd card .
Wipe data factory reset ,
via Odin install stock KH3 from stock rom post bot and set up phone /
via Odin root from CWM and root post with KH3 v4.1 CWM root .

Copy Cognition rom to sd card .
Boot to recovery advanced wipe dalvik cache return wipe cache

Cognition is KH3 not KI rom.

Flash stock rom using Odin.
Wait 3 4 minutes, takes time to first boot.
Still bootloops, remove sdcard.
flash any cfroot and right after go into cwm.
Format data, system, cache, sdcard.
Now flash stock gb using Odin.

Hi guys.
My phone is a international i9300
I've been searching for a problem like mine in the forum for three weeks now and I couldn't find a proper solution.
I just can't flash any rom via CWM anymore...
I can flash roms via ODIN, but when it comes to CWM, it gets stucked at Samsung logo after the install.
I tried:
Wipe cache / Dalvik / factory reset.
before the installation, after the installation, every combination possible.
Tried megawipe and no help.
Changed the kernel, Siyah, Googy, stock...
Changed versions of CWM, touch.
I have now the Phil'z 5.0.15.
I like very much the XXELK4 version from roalex with its MOD, for the call recording and full multiwindow support, but can't flash it anymore, nor any other custom or stock via CWM.
By now I can only have a full stock flashed via odin, or my Omega 46.1, wich I have a full backup.
Another solution could be find a .tar rooted and with the MODS flashable via Odin, but I really wanted to understand what's happening with my recovery.
Thank you all and congrats for the great work with the forum.
In cwm format..
Data
System
Cache
Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache
Then flash the rom.
Your cwm is upto date?

Sorry.
Forgot to include in the original post... I tried that too. Formatted everything
Got the 6.0.6.3
I also tried with the last Philz recovery.
And with previous versions of both too.
Have you tried to go bk to stock,root that firmware then install cwm then flash custom rom? Clean slate start.
Your problem may be a bad file download .

I'll try to download again, although it's not likely that several files are bad. I tried with so many different roms...
I bought another micro sd of 64gb. Maybe the one I'm using is ruining the files...
There can't be a so huge bug in philz recovery
Try install from internal sdcard, a simple 'Factory Reset before New Rom' no need to mega wipe anything.

Of course. And I tried with different versions of Philz' and also CWM. It can't be a bug in recovery.
Re-downloaded the revolution 29.0 and the Roalex XXELK4 rooted, copyed directly to internal and flashed... Same problem. Stuck at Samsung logo in boot. I'm begining to think my phone is screwed up. But this is so strange. I can restore my backup with no problems, and also can flash with Odin.
Is there a way to flash a .ZIP ROM in Odin?
Does not make any sense .
What model phone do you have ???
What model firmware are you flashing .
What about basic stock custom roms flashed via CWM ??
Have you booted to Philz recovery mounts and storage format sd card cache system and data then flash rom ??
Agree it is strange Deviating a little from your problem but have you tried flashing anything with TWRP recovery see if the problem persists with that.

I know it doesn't. That's why I'm going crazy.
I uploaded the screenshots with my system specs.
The model is correct, international i9300. Tried to download from the site and also directly from rommanager.
The firmwares I'm trying to flash are stock, but rooted by Roalex. I couldn't find a pure stock .zip for testing with CWM. The firmware I'm using is UBEMH5 from sammobile, wich I flashed via Odin.
Yes... Tried and formatted everything, several times, mounted, unmounted, every possible order...
Almost giving up. :crying:

I never used TWRP. Can I flash the same ROM file .zip with it or it requires it's own rom file type?
I'm gonna be out of the country for two days. When I come back I'll give it a try.
Thank you all so far.

It's been a while since i used it last time was when I had a S2 and I used it all the time:good: You can flash any rom with it that cwm can flash (as far as I know) but it had a little trouble restoring backups made with cwm but I think that got fixed.But you can make backups and loads of other things with it I recommend people to try it at least once This won't fix your cwm problem but would be interesting to see if it works
If twrp doesn't work on stock Flash googy Max dualboot kernel and keep stock as primary rom and custom as second rom. Then you have best of both world's :thumbup: also take the pic down with your emei showing :banghead: never ever show this!
What i would do in this situation is .
In recovery format cache system sd card preload .
Flash stock rom via Odin.
Check phone works ok .
Then root / flash philz recovery .
Put custom rom on sd card boot to recovery factory reset .
Then install custom rom watching setup to spot a failure point .
Wait for rom to load 10 mins fails then remove batter replace and factory reset .
Problem solved
Hi folks.
Think I figured out what's going on.
Via TWRP it says the files were corrupted, although the file sizes were identical.
I MD5 checked the files in my computer and they're ok, but when checked already inside my phone or SD they're not.
Instead of copying the files via USB cable I removed the SD card and inserted directly in my laptop slot and copyed the files. MD5 checked and they're ok...
After I tryed again copy via USB and the files were corrupted again.
I think my desktop USB or maybe the Samsung drivers are doing that.
Well, problem solved. I hope this helps other people in future problems.
Thank you all for your help and support. Keep on with the great work.
Mark solved then for other users .

for installing custom rom, you will need root and cwm
go to recovery mode
choose install zip from sd card
choose the cwm file
this will install the cwm.
now wipe data and cache
go to advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache
then go to choose zip from sdcaed and select the rom
please make sure that you are using a proper custom rom file meant for your phone.
