Hello I Bought a SGSII With Andoid GB 2.3.4 I Want To Install This Fw:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 and this kernel:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555259
How to do please?I must Update to ICS Or not? and did Siyah Kernel replace CMW(I was on Galaxy Mini)
Help me please
The answers to your questions are in the threads you linked to, I.E follow whatever specific instructions the rom/kernel you want to flash has.
Siyah has it's own version of CWM & this will overwrite the current version you're using (that's if you're using a kernel that has CWM before you flash Siyah, obviously).
Read those two threads very carefully, all the info you need is there.

Hello
I want to install villainrom 3.0 but before I do that, I just have a couple of quick questions.
1. Does my current android version matter when i want to install a new rom. I am currently using the 2.3.3 version. Will it cause problems since it's relatively outdated?
2. Do i need a specific kernel? i.e. Will my baseband version, kernel version or build number cause problems?I am using CF-Root kernel with the following specifications:
my baseband version: XXKG2
my kernel version: XWKF3
my build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
I know that these are probably noobish questions but i appreciate your help.
1. no, the rom will update your phone.
2. No, you do not need a specific kernal as the rom comes with its own kernel.
first! u need to flash have clockworkmod kernel
I've already rooted it with CF-root and i have the clockworkmod installed. I've read on the cwm-kernel post that he doesn't recomend flashing it if I already have CF-root. Is there any reason why villainrom wouldn't work with CF-kernel as the post above stated that villainrom comes with its own kernel?
Also, Do i need anything else before i flash villain rom?
Hello experts
may current status are
Kernal - 2.6.35.7 JPKJ2
Baseband - XXKI4
Android - 2.3.5
I'm thinking of installing UltraToxic 8.0.1 with Siyah 2.4.2.
Here are my questions
1. Should I flash the rom first or the kernal?
2. I understand by installing a custom rom i won't be able to use Kies anymore. Any alternatives to backup my phonebook and sms to PC?
This is going to be my first time with a custom rom. Please help.
flash rom first, then kernal.
If you flash kernal first it will be overwritten by the kernal in the rom.
you still can use kies to beck up your phone and messages, kies not will find online updates for your phone with custom roms or stock roms that have been modified.
Thanks for the advice Cosmic. But I cant directly install version 8.0.1 can I? First I need to flash with 8.0 and then update using cwm right?
correct, always follow the developers instructions.
My Galaxy S2 I9100 is from Singapore and has the baseband version : I9100DXLP9
But i can't seem or rather can't find the way to upgrade to 4.0.4 as most of the custom roms require the ICS 4.0.4. Any help?
If you want to upgrade to ICS, first go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and search for a GT-i9100 firmware. Then, learn how to use Odin (do a search around here) to flash the firmware onto your phone
I'm already on 4.0.3 ICS. Rooted with CF kernel. But most roms require 4.0.4 like cyanogen mod. I can't find any firmware for LP9 for the 4.0.4
If you want to use CM9, flash the Resurrection Edition in Odin, then flash Gapps & the latest CM9 nightly. All the instructions are on the first page of the CM9 discussion thread. I suggest you read the first page very carefully & follow the instructions to the letter.
Is there a way for me to upgrade the firmware to 4.0.4? I can't seem to find the firmware version for I9100DXLP9. Or possible to upgrade via flashing a 4.0.4 custom rom?
You seem to be asking how to upgrade to the official Samsung 4.0.4. Well, there isn't one. And you wouldn't need to in order to install a custom ROM that is 4.0.4.
Ahh right right.. thanks for clearing it up. So i'm on a 4.0.3 rooted all i have to do is flash CM9 Resurrection and upgrade to the nightly build from there?
That's what was just said. And that's why I didn't even mention Android version numbers in my post. Because they're irrelevant.
Hello xda forum,
I'm a total newbie to rooting and flashing Android and I would like to root and install a custom rom based on Jelly Bean.
That would be the AllianceROM i9100 JB V5.2.
Is there a overclocking tool included?
My Phone is a Galaxy S2 european version with stock Android ICS.
Is there a way to root the Galaxy on a Mac, or is a PC with Odin required?
Is it enough to just root the phone and then install the file of the AllianceROM i9100 JB V5.2?
What method is the best to root the Galaxy S2 ( I don't mind losing the data on my phone, backup already done )?
Do I need a kernel or modem or is that all included?
Thank you for the help.
And sorry for the total noob questions...

yes, in sdtweaks that come with rom, there is a section that will allow you to overclock.

You can use heimdall on a mac to flash but it is safer and easier to use a computer with odin as there have been some reported problems with using heimdall.

Once rooted, just follow the instructions posted in the AllianceRom thread as recommend by the developer.
What method is the best to root the Galaxy S2 ( I don't mind losing the data on my phone, backup already done )?
easiest way is to flash the siyah kernal with odin and it will root your phone.
here is the link to the siyah 4.1.5 kernal.
DOWNLOAD TAR (for Odin)
Do I need a kernel or modem or is that all included?
once rooted, kernal, modem and all other files are included in the alliance rom that you want to install.
Thank you for the help.
And sorry for the total noob questions...

Before yu start flashing read and understand the flashing instructions throughly to save yourself from mistakes caused by improper flashing.
Thank you for the reply!
I thought that the root method with flashing a siyah kernel was not possible since in the AllianceROM 5.2 thread the following is mentioned:
" Kernel - Philz safe kernel. THERE IS NO SIYAH OR DORI FOR SAMMY JB. DONT ASK FOR IT!!! "
So people who want to install the Alliance ROM on their stock Android 4.0.4 Galaxy S2 should just root their phone and then use the ROM Customizer to install the zip file from the internal sd volume.
Or flash the AllianceROM ICS version with Odin and then use ROM Customizer to install the AllianceROM 5.2 package.
( Which has the Dorimanx Kernel I've heard? )
Ok.
Thanks for the help again.
hi,
i have a new sg2 i9100 version witch came with 4.04 and no brick bug as reported the emmc.
i am searching for days and i am a bit confused .i am not familiar with that kind of softwares and i would like your help.
the goals: i want to root, and to be able to flash any rom i want.
1)if i understand so far i will need a kernel too?
2)i do not have the knowledge to understand what varius kernels offer and i simply choosed the siyah since it is the most popular(??) the s6 version states "This kernel is only for Samsung JB ROM (No ICS support anymore).
that means that my ics 4.04 will not be accesible and working anymore and i should flash a rom imidiately after the kernel flash?i do not mind to flash rom imediately after siyah kernel since i do not have anything instaled on the phone yet.
is it posible?with odin?1.86 , 3.04?
3)after the siyah kernel flash from the oficial siyah site , do i have root?
4)do i have cwm? if not what do i need to do?
5) is the siyah consider safe kernel?
thanks
i apreciate your help.

Frist root your phone, everything will be explained in the thread. Check FAQ
If you don't know what you are doing, don't flash siyah and stay with the kernel that gets installed when flashing the rom you want.
Flash a custom kernel with Odin. Another Siyah kernel than v6 will do, just check the changelog.
You will have root, CWM and you're able to flash custom roms. You can choose to try other kernels than the one that comes with a rom, but it's not a must.
And the person above is right: If you don't fully understand all this, try to learn a little bit more. It will prevent you from doing something wrong.
Good luck.
