Is there any way to get a custom recovery installed on the LQ5 ICS 4.0.4 without flashing a custom kernel?
Related to that, all I'm looking for is a way to make a nandroid backup with restore option, so if there's a third-party way of doing it, I'd appreciate any suggestions.
I've always used CF-Root Kernels, but I just Mobile Odin flashed this ROM and I have stock recovery, so the backup/restore features are gone.
Just flash the latest CF-Root kernel via Odin in the PDA section and you will obtain your custom recovery. No other way for it.

From what I can see, that's LPK 5.5, right?
Can I flash it via Mobile Odin?

I'll be extra cautious, as what I'm seeing here is it might have the emmc brick bug in kernel.
So what ever you do do not wipe using stock recovery.
I'm using the save ROM and loving it. But will wait for any more news.
Though I have wiped multiple times using the dial code.
Yes I believe you just flash the latest CF-Root either via Mobile Odin or normal Odin. As atifsh said, don't wipe anything in the stock recovery as the MMC_CAP_ERASE seems to still be present and will eMMC brick your device, which is a real pain considering Samsung know about this. But it is still only a leaked ROM, so be very cautious.

Look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28336465&postcount=331
If you flash other kernel and you don't re-flash then the original one some things like bluetooth will not work....
If you do my procedure you will have CMW, Root & the most important thing: THE ORIGINAL KERNEL!!! :cyclops::good:
PRESS TNX BUTTON IF I HELP YOU :good:
When I flashed the Stock_LQ5-CWM.zip above, I lost custom recovery and went back to stock recovery.
Chainfire has released CF-Root for LQ5, so problem solved.
Thanks for the input.

Hi,
How can I flash CWM5 without using Odin or other kernels? I rebooted into recovery twice and I got myself with CWM4 not knowing why.. Any easy flashing hint?

Maybe you can try to flash CWM5 with Mobile ODIN from Chainfire => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
But I think that you should flash a kernel containing CWM recovery, such as CF-Root, SpeedMod, etc.
Good luck !
You need to flash a kernel that comes with it

The counter only increases and triangle appears when flashing a custom kernel from download mode. Using mobile Odin does not touch download mode.
Hi, is there a completely stock kernel with root and CWM that I can flash with Odin, on my S2. I have seen a couple kernels but they have things like different boot animations, and different little tweaks but I just want stock ROM with root and CWM. I have never used Odin before, and was also wondering if rooting,and installing CWM with Odin is safer than using SuperOneClick, then using Odin to install CWM? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

1. stock kernel with root? Yes.
2. stock kernel with CwM (and root)? Probably yes.
Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823
I have not personally gone with that option and I believe most of members here do not go with this option. So, I don't know if it works as expect or not.
3. custom kernel with CwM? Yes. So far in this room, there are 2 most popular custom kernels, Entropy's Daily Driver and Siyah kernel.
Can my phone still have the superbrick problem if i have succesfully installed the phillz kernel and i am able to boot into phillz recovery?
Thanks already

Well firstly, you shouldnt be double posting/bumping your thread, You have an edit button if you need to add anything.
Second, You have no need to ask this question as its already been covered a million times over in all the other topics about this, please use search before creating topics. That is XDA rule number 1.
Third, The answer to your question is no. Once you install custom kernel your fine and not affected by the bug.

Philz kernel is safe. But i personally had some issues with it. I suggest you to flash dorinmax or siyah kernel to wipe and install roms. Its perfectly safe. I have used it myself hundreds of times

Philz kernel has a broken recovery which doesn't let you flash AOSP ROMs... It gives the status 7 error and aborts installation.
You may flash Siyah kernel from www.gokhanmoral.com. Download the Odin version (.tar file) and flash it.

Yes. To superbrick, 3 criteria must be met (check detailed explanation of each by entropy512 who is a kernel developer and elite recognised developer). One of them is that you must have the dangerous emmc chip. I believe what gotbrickbug does is check if you have that chip or not.
But, being on a safe kernel (custom ones are more reliable than Samsung ones unfortunately in this regard since 4.0.4), the command mmc_cap_erase is disabled which makes sure that the emmc chip doesn't get wiped.
So, being on a safe kernel even if gotbrickbug gives the danger message will keep you safe
If I'm wrong or anything, please correct me I actually don't know much about this.

Yes. Philz kernel is safe. I merely mentioned siyah as some roms cant be flashed via philz recovery. In that case, youll need flash siyah first.
But its okay if you want to flash mods/kernels and its safe.

No, the app looks at the chip, not the kernel. If your phone has a defective chip, no matter which kernel you are on (safe or dangerous), it will always show dangerous.

Yes. To downgrade, download a gb rom and flash it via Odin. Make sure to perform a factory reset from recovery, otherwise u will be stuck in a boot loop.

You can while you're on a safe kernel.....if not, I'd advice against it.
I stopped reading this thread somewhere half way through the 1st page. Stop spoon feeding answers that take 3 seconds to Google or are just blatantly obvious. Seriously, it's pathetic.
Hi,
I downloaded a stock rom from sammobile ( I9100XWLQ2_I9100XXLQ6_I9100PROLP4_HOME.tar.md5 )
I am pretty sure this is the right one because this has already worked once.
But now my phone hangs during startup. I wait really lot (10 mins) but still it hangs, even I always see the animation of 'S'
I flashed again a custom rom now, but i want a stock rom back. How can i flash?
thanks
You must perform a factory reset from the recovery. Either do it from the custom rom, then flash stock ROM, or flash stock rom, boot into recovery and then wipe /data. Order doesn't matter.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
After you flash the stock rom go back into download and flash v4 of Siyah kernel (.tar) , then boot into recovery and do wipe/factory reset.
It is not necessary to install a new kernel, just factory reset from stock recovery

I didnt say it was necessary, I just advised it since Siyah kernel is better then stock anyway for many reasons and since he's into trying new roms its much better to have custom kernel/recovery. Plus the fact that if user was to try flashing a 4.0.3 rom then wipe in stock recovery he would brick his device.
Not sure about brick, AFAIK brick occurs with 4.0.4. Anyway I would prefer more stock-ish kernel like CFroot.

Do you mean flash "stock rom"? Yes if you flash stock rom you will lose cwm and only hav stock recovery.
Once you have flashed your stock rom you should then immediately flash your custom kernel (Like Siyah). Once flashed reboot into recovery (cwm) and wipe data/factory reset.

When flashing a stock ROM (include kernel of course) it overwrite the exists kernel.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
When you will flash stock rom over custom rom everything will be erased if android version is different if same then you will face problems has phone will not work properly you have to factory reset it first install different kernel use philz it will root your phone directly and installs cmw then factory reset it from cmw.
You can also reset your phone from settings but in between you will face errors this that not working etc. use 1st method your phone will not have brick bug issue.
And for giving thanks use thank button

Is it also possible to flash dorimanx after flashing stock rom?
As most of the people among us flash latest custom roms.. for which we need to go for for odin flash & as we know it is an irritating process.. thus can we just restore stock firmware via cwm rather than the odin flash, so as to perform a custom rom flash??
(i personally restored stock rom but i found stock kernel hasn't restored thus i dont know, weather it gonna work or not..)
replies appriciated cos if this process works for sucessful custom rom flash then it will be helpful for lots of newbies like me
Recovery is part of the ramdisk, which is included with the kernel.
You can't modify something while it's running.
sorry but i was talking about, that can we replace odin process with restoring stock firmware via cwm??

GermainZ already answered your question but apparently you don't know the difference between using Odin n CWM for flashing.
