This is my first post. I have read the FAQ section and I spent some time with the beloved search bar. No luck so far.
I am a noob so I want to say thanks in advance to anyone/everyone willing to evan glance at this post let alone lend a hand..
I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy SII (AT&T) and appears to be working fine until I install any custom rom. When I do so and reboot the phone the boot animation will begin but then hang on both ROM's I have tried.
Ive made sure to create a buckup of my phone after root so both times I just reverted to the backup.
So far I have tried resurrection & AOKP ICS ROM..
I am running 2.3.6..
Feel like Im so close but yet so far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

Have you done a complete wipe prior to flashing? That is usually the problem.

The first boot usually takes a bit of time. How long did you wait? Also, full wipe. Thai should be all you need to do.

How exactly do I perform a full wipe?
I wiped davlin cache with no luck and thats about it.

You need to read more then. Knowing what a full wipe is is a basic necessity of flashing roms

Nick is correct you really need to figure it out as it is necessary for flashing anything.
But in cwm wipe data/factory reset option is the one you need to complete prior to flashing any rom

Assuming you're using CWM Recovery to flash, you should be able to find Wipe Data/Factory Reset option there. If not, you might want to follow this:

Now i have mik's CM 6.5.7 and ungaze data2sd. I want to flash 6.5.8 and goldenleaf kernel. What should I wipe before flashing rom and what before kernel? And what about data2sd? I don't remember if it works with ext4 and if I make a backup of my apps will it be enough?
use the forum search, there are at least two zillion answers about that.
You didn't helped me a lot. Just one question do i have to wipe anything when flashing to newer version as i stated above?
i wont help because its two zillion times answered, i think at least one million times by me.
Wipe cache, dalvik-cache and battery stats (if the phone is fully charged). Since you are upgrading to a newer version you don't need to wipe data or anything else.

Since you did not even care to read, it's either you are Dyslexic or you are just plain blind. I give a mega sized instructions for you and i hope you stop this **** and use GOOGLE.
You need only to wipe Caches (Disk cache and dalvik Cache) if you are upgrading
from a previous Phoenix Android version.
If using Rom manager, it's happening automatically, i guess. So, just do it - it will be up & running fine

It is not possible because you don't have so much posts. You posted two hater replies, wouldn't it be better to post one answer? If there are so many of them it wouldn't make a difference.

Anyway, thanks a lot for all those nice answers.
I have been looking at the Omega V13 ROM and really fancy trying it out.
Do I simply place the download ZIP file onto my sd card and install from Recovery?
I had originally un-zipped the file and placed the folders in my phone, but Recovery didn't find any update files...
Am I being an idiot?
Thanks in advance.

Just a quick tip, you do need to be rooted and already flashed a custom kernel to get CWM to flash that zip in recovery. I suggest you do A LOT more reading before doing ANYTHING..... Sorry if you know all this already, from your post I would say make sure you read all you can and understand what you're before doing it.... GL

Thanks for the reply mate, but despite my noob question regarding this particular ROM, I have flashed/modded my phone a number of times. I have tried the Resurrection ROM, plus a couple of others in the past. The confusion in me arose because every other ROM I'd tried used Odin, whereas this is my first through Recovery.
Thanks again.

And with that, GL enjoy your new ROM!!!
That's fair enough dude
Generally instructions on how to install are on the first page of the thread. In general you have to do:
Full Wipe/Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from SD (or internal memory)
WARNING: You will lost all your phone numbers, wifi passwords, SMS, game levels and data you dont back up. I recommend using Titanium backup for those matters & SMS backup app. Anyway just in case do a backup of anything important you wish to keep.
Well, I've tested a few ROM's this evening and have stuck with Resurrection Remix (4.0.4).
Have to say that I love it thus far!
Thanks for your responses guys.

hey everyone!!
I am having issues with instability while my phone is plugged in. It flashes back to lock screen randomly in anything I do. If not plugged in, it is the most stable thing i have used. Thanks for that. I have performed full wipe, wiped cache and dalvic, redownloaded rom and gapps following the faq and troubleshooting procedures in the development thread to the letter...twice go me. I have not changed kernal that came with the rom and i have tested this before doing any restore of info with the same issues. Here are my specs any help will be appreciated. Unfortunately i am not able to post in the aokp forum.
modem- ucle5 maybe stock not sure how to find that out and not sure if it matters i came to aokp from stock ics following root procedures from creepyncrawly properly flashing different kernal before wiping if that is relevant. still learning sorry
kernal- 3.0.25-cm-gaaa0e0b by task650
mod- 7.3.2012

In your description it doesn't say if you wiped /system. Is that part of your full wipe? Also did you run the kernel cleaning script? That helps depending on what kernel you came from.

i did not do a wipe/system or run kernal cleaning script. I guess I thought that the wipe data/factory reset took care of that. I did wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions. I was looking as I wrote this and I cannot find option to wipe/ system in cmw. is that same as format / system and if so do i need to format all of those( cache,system,data, etc.) I did not do kernal clean either. Is there a guide or specific one i should do? if so man my bad! I thought I was getting a decent understanding hahahahah. I do greatly appreciate the help and knowledge you guys have in here. much respect.
thank you

I appreciate that. i see alot of post about things that are in ops or frequently asked questions and don't want to be that guy. I'm sure that I still probably missed the answer somewhere in here but it definitly wont be from not looking. everyone in here does too much work for free for that.
The thing that most people miss is that you don't necessarily have to find the answer. If you have genuinely looked and make it clear by what you are posting that you have basic knowledge of your issue and your device, you will receive help.
If these guys (the geniuses) realize that you are struggling to find the answer for any reason other than the lack of searching and reading and lack of self help, they will do what they can to help resolve your issue. You meet the criteria for someone deserving of their time.
Good luck. And here's a link that may help you with kernel cleaning, it's a script to run in CWM. All information needed for it is found in that thread.

kernal cleaning script worked!!!!!
so far after using the kernal cleaning script i have not had any issues. i used it then reflashed rom and gapps. it is working famously. i did not have to factory reset either. thanks a lot.
Guess i spoke too soon it worked for a couple hours then went back. Im gonna try full wipe then cleaner etc.

No, you can't use Odin to flash Slim. But you know what you can use XDA for? Reading. I'm sorry, but spoonfeeding is against XDA rules. Read up & flash slimbean. First you want a custom recovery & root, from there all you have to do is download the ROM and flash it according to the instructions in Slim OP. I'm not saying any more.

No one said you have to be a developer or expert. I'm certainly not. I only know what I know because I read things before attempting them. This isn't meant to be harsh, but right now your phone is in danger. Messing with your phone when you don't know what you're doing is a sure way to screw things up. So please do some reading. I already told you where to start, you need a custom recovery & root.

Good to hear.
The reason that everything looks small is that it's not standard dpi. Slim has default 182 dpi, stock is 240 dpi. You can change it, go to settings>interface>LCD density. Follow what it says there, the instructions work great there.
