ROM mod manager - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Can I use ROM Mod Manager to install this ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752232

Don't ever use ROM manager. Ever.
Read the stuff linked in the sticky at the top of this forum. And I mean read *all links*. They'll show you how to mod your phone safely and teach you the ins and outs of modding an SGH-I777, and keep you from bricking your device. Once you've read everything (and please read carefully! reading more than once may help), if you don't fully understand anything after that feel free to ask questions.

Stop making so many threads and read around

Never use from Manager only cwm

I know it's not always the fastest option, but searching for an answer that you're not sure of really is the best way to learn. The more familiar you become with the search tool and which terms you need to find your answers, the easier it'll be for you here. Not trying to be a **** at all, just letting you know. Rom Manager had been known for a long while now as being buggy and unstable for our device. Not saying it doesn't work for other devices extremely well, but our kernels come packaged with CWM, which is different from most phones, as you can normal flash a recovery separately from the kernel.

I made the ROM Manager mistake
I didn't see the warnings about using ROM Manager until it was too late.
Now here's the weird thing that happens (big problem!). As soon as I read the warning, I uninstalled ROM Manager and flashed a new kernel and did a factory reset. This should have wiped ROM Manager from my SG2, but it didn't. When I go into CWM Recovery mode, the ROM Manager icon (the circular arrow with the hat) appears at the center of the screen. When I try to execute a command in CWM, whether Wipe data or Install from SDcard, the screen goes black except for that icon. Nothing happens. The only way to reboot is to pop the battery. The phone works fine with Gingerbread and the phone is rooted, but I want to be able to flash an ICS ROM from xda.
Somehow, some aspects of ROM Manager remain on my phone.
Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance.

you loaded a version of a CWM kernel that requires you to use the home button to select.....
THAT is not ROM manager...that is CWM

I'm glad I've provided you with some entertainment. :->
I used this version of CWM: SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3
So, instead of using the Power button, I use Home? That simple?
What's up with the ROM Manager icon though?
Yes, it is only Tuesday...
I appreciate the help!

You've had your fun...
and you've been very helpful. But here's a question for you: How is someone supposed to know that this version of CWM requires Home for Enter instead of Power. Believe it or not, I've flashed a number of ROM before and it was always Power.
In any event, I am back on the road to flashing a new ICS and I thank you for it.
I love XDA...even with the occasional good-natured abuse!!
Many thanks...

Spending time playing with it, get along with it and gain experience, brother.
I believe everyone was once hiccup, learn from it then.
I was pulling my hair, scratching my head just to figure that out too.
Also, spend more time reading, I'm sure you will pick up some very valuable info down the road.

[Q] [Q&A] About CM9 and restoring backup from CWM!!

Hey folks,
I just bought the white international SGS II and i'm loving it!
I previously had an Infuse 4g, so I am pretty experienced with flashing/backing up/ restoring...but I have questions/concerns regarding the I9100.
I am about to try out the CM9 Unstable, so I backed my current stock ROM up using CWM Manager 3.0 (I am on CF-Root 5.0) onto my Internal SD, as I do not have an external SD card.
Now, I have had bad experiences with CM7 with Infuse and ended up not being able to restore due to many problems like MD5 mismatch, different CWM version, and problems while restoring ( I think it said something like devblock??)
So I'm pretty worried about not being able to restore back to the backup i just made.
So correct me if I'm wrong folks,
1) Go into CWM, flash CM9(once? twice?), Gapps, Faceunlock,
2) Data wipe/factory reset
3) Reboot
and should I choose to restore back to the stock Rom backup,
just go into CM9's recovery and restore..?
will this method give me problems restoring? will I have different versions of CWM recovery from the one I have currently? Is there any way to check if my back up was made properly?
Thanks a lot folks! Appreciate it!
Edit: "Make sure you're already running ICS bootloader (if not, go to SamMobiles and flash XXKP2 bootloader)". Is this necessary? Cus I have seen some folks say that they've not and was fine installing CM9.
First the procedure:
1. Wipe
2. Install CyanogenMod 9
3. Reboot
4. Install CyanogenMod again
5. Install gapps and face-unlock
Worked for me every time.
Your backups should work unless there were errors while creating them.
If you want some more safety, you can create a new backup after flashing the Siyah-kernel. The latest version uses the same version of ClockWorkMod as CyanogenMod 9.
Whether you need to flash the bootloader or not, depends on whether you already have it or not. I'm running galnet-MIUI and already had the bootloader installed. I don't know how to tell if you have it.

Ok...
I did further research and found out that Nandroid backup backs up everything EXCEPT the kernel.
I'm pretty sure that CM has its own kernel...but will it be CWM 5.0.2.7(the one i made backup in.)?
If it's not, the correct steps for me to restore my nandroid back up is to
1)boot into download mode from CM9,
2) put the cf-root kernel that i used in the ODIN PDA, flash,
3) turn off phone, reboot into CWM, then restore my nandroid back up right??
Can anyone please confirm this method??
I only have this phone and I cannot risk soft-bricking or hard-bricking this beautiful device.
Thanks in advance!
Also, i made a back up in blue recovery of CWM 5.0.2.7..does that matter?

thanks for the reply,
so I must have the ICS bootloaders in order for CM9 to work?
ooo siyah kernel method... that makes it easier! haha thanks so much!
I will proceed to do that!
btw, how is CM9 working for you?
do you think you'll be able to use it as a daily driver now that NITZ is gone??
1. Afaik cwm backs the kernel up and restores it too. (afaik = 99.9% sure, in this case)
2. CyanogenMod ships with its own kernel.
3. The kernel is not cwm. ClockWorkMod is just the recovery that is integrated into the kernel. CyanogenMod 9 has cwm-recovery 5.5 (Siyah too btw)
4. You don't need to use download-mode to restore.

You must have ICS-bootleggers. He did not say that for fun xD.
Is it suitable as daily driver for me?
Nope.avi
Why?
Accelerometer is unresponsive, so it takes forever to flip your screen.
Battery drainage is horrible.
Camera isn't working properly.
And the biggest no-go for me:
The device gets way to hot when using it.

alright,
thanks for the information!

Btw,
Flashing CM9 Zip does not flash the ICS bootloader right?
so then if I want to restore to my GB 2.3.5, would I need to flash GB bootloaders before restoring via Odin??
If the zip would flash the loaders, he wouldn't have mentioned it.
They're backwards-compatible.

If you need to make a post in the Q&A forums about flashing CM9, then you are definitely not the sort of person who should be flashing it. It is in very much a beta stage and there is a very high possibility it will **** your phone up even if you have done nothing wrong. If that happens you need to be the sort of person with enough experience to solve the problem by themselves. If you are asking questions before you've even flashed it then really, it's not for you. Use CM7, at the moment it's better than CM9 in every single way.

It's not thaaaaaaaaat bad. I mean, he won't be able to brick the device through cwm.
If he doesn't ask, he will never learn and it's always better to ask twice than to break something.

Thank you sniper =) really appreciate the support.
Ive been flashing and restoring before with my infuse 4g. Just sometimes ran into problems with restoring with diff CWM versions and stuff. This phone is very precious(expensive) so i thought i would learn it for sure before i attempted anything.. thanks anyways for sharing your opinion!

I couldnt agree more... i think people here on XDA need to stop trying to be all hot **** saying Oh you asked a question your a noob... in reality most ppl here want to ask the same question but dont because afraid of getting *****ed out... and when someone else asks... try to be badass and put the person down...
Iv used a Galaxy S and a Moto Atrix and now a S2... flashed the life out of each phone along with all kinds of stuff and mods... yet i would have wanted to ask these same questions before flashing hence googled and found this thread... So thanks to those that replied as well... i was about to flash ics till i read this and guess imma hold back now even more...
But again i think people here need to calm the hell down... a person asks a question in the thread and you call them a 'noob' and what not... a person asks a question in the Q&A section and again you tell them off... stop being such anal retentive trolls...

Most people should not flame some one as long as they show they have at least tried to look for an answer first. Yes we were all new at one time but we all learned.
Like you said you Googled and found your answer. Not that hard.
Think it's bad now. Should have seen it a few years ago. Lol clutter up the threads with questions that the answers were found with a search. You got warned. Do it twice and you went on vacation for a few days to learn how to search. So the next time you think people are being too hard. Remember it is not as hlbad as it was.
When I search for the answer, I ended up here.
are these considered ICS bootloaders? If not, when would you flash them, because they are completely unmentioned in any of the instructions or FAQs
CWM flashable Modems:

Need some root assistance....please

Hello -
I have browsed through countless threads and obviously overlooking something for a successful root.
I was able to root using option #3 in the following thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894. All went without issue and I see the SuperUser application on the phone.
However, I cannot get into Clockwork. Holding the power buttons and power button only takes me in the typical Android reset menu.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
You don't have rom manager installed hopefully. If not, you simply power your phone off , hold down volume up down and power until it reboots KEEP holding it it may flash the boot logo more than once then it should take you into clock work mod recovery. Also keep in mind you need a custom kernel to have clockwork mod recovery installed, as our kernels have recovery built in.

Thanks for the assistance. No --- I do not have ROM Manager installed. The button sequence only takes me into the typical Android menu that has four options. Going from memory: Reboot, apply update.zip, factory reset, clear cache. It's not the Clockwork menu...I'm familiar with it.
I guess that means that the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894 only roots the phone and I need to apply a custom kernel. If so, do I have to find a custom kernel and apply through ODIN since I cannot flash through Clockwork? If so, can you give me a link on how to do this?
Thanks.

You just installed the stock kernel with stock 3e recovery. You now need to install a custom kernel. Go to this thread, which is the full directions for rooting and installing a ClockworkMod Recovery enabled kernel.
Also since you're rooted, you can flash kernels with mobile Odin if ya want, it's on the Android market. Is free to flash roms gotta pay for it to flash kernels and stuff but it's well worth it in my opinion.

SGH-i777 wrong kernel

Hi there
-I'm on AT&T using a SGH-i777
Right now, the Android version is 2.3.4
Kernel Version is 2.6.35.7
Not sure if all of that stuff is relevant, but hopefully it helps.
I'm very new to flashing, rooting, and all that good stuff in general, but today I attempted to follow a guide in attempt to put CWM on my phone, and then I would use CWM to flash Cyanogenmod 9 on it next. Being the complete noob that I am, I only realized too late that the Kernel provided in the guide was for the GT-i9100, and not the SGH-i777. Right now, the phone will boot up into Android, but displays the GT-i9100 and a yellow warning sign at the boot loader before launching into android. So far, I've not noticed any adverse side effects due to mis-flash, other than it being, you know, the wrong kernel. I've rebooted into CWM, and so far I believe that works, but I'm honestly not sure where to go from here.
The guide I followed was: *Can't post links as this is my first post, but it was on the cyanogenmod wiki, titled as, "Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T): Full Update Guide"*
The kernel I installed was named: "codeworkx's Kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.3"
So essentially what I'm wondering here, is where should I go from here? I was thinking I could flash a new kernel on my phone, but I think I only got lucky here and didn't brick it, so I'm hesitant to follow random guides I get from Googling without someone with experience thumbs-upping it for me. I'd still like to put Cyanogen on my phone, as the official ROM(Right terminology?) that was pushed from AT&T sucks and lags while opening messaging and the like, and unless anyone would be willing to recommend another, better ROM, then I'll probably go with it once I get this worked out.
Thanks in advanced

yes your lucky u didnt brick as far as i know that would usually do the trick....the only thing i can think of is starting from scratch. go into the development forums for our phone and there is a simple process to restore to stock and start over but someone here might know a little more but thats what i would do honestly
What makes you think it was a GT-I9100 kernel? From the name, I'm pretty sure what you flashed is the codeworkx CWM kernel for the I777. The boot screen that says GT-I9100 and has the yellow warning triangle would appear any time you flash a custom kernel using Odin or Heimdall. If you had installed a kernel which is actually for the I9100, you would not be able to use all of your capacitive buttons. You should be able to flash the firmware of your choice using recovery from your current setup.
Oh man, do I feel dumb or what?
Thanks for the quick help, I really wasn't lying when I said I was a noob at this!

You can remove the gt-i9100 and yellow triangle with triangle away found in forums ( would post link but not sure where it is all you have to do is search) but be warned this can have adverse effects I never experienced any but that doesn't mean you wont .

u trip the counter! on GB u need a jig to reset that counter for ICS theres an app for that.
anyway since u already got CWM then u can start flashing ROMs & afaik CM9 is still in nightlies or not as stable yet for our device. u can try other ICS ROMs which are more stable, like SHOstock or Semi, its your choice.

They changed the name to I777 because there are two at& t galaxy s2's (one being the skyrocket) that's why it only shows cm7

that figures, they coulda made it more clear that the other is for that damn skyrocket or even have the model number in it. good thing i hold out on CM7 coz i wouldve flashed that wrong one & potentially brick my device. thanks for the clarification.

I give up - Seeking Help

Here is my issue. I have SGH-i777 - Plugged it into Kies - Updated to ICS - Found a Guide (not on here - stupid me) to Root my SGH-i777 on ICS.
It worked, but I noticed the GT-i9100 under the Galaxy S II logo with a yellow triangle at the bottom -however, the phone worked great until I stupidly used ROM Manager - Bricked my phone. I found a guide on here, but again...stupid me...didnt realize I was following a guide for the GT-i9100 resulting me in solving my issue and getting the phone to finally turn back...but only to think it was fully a GT-i9100. The only two keys on the bottom that worked, were my home button and the menu button on the bottom left. Nothing else.
I have searched and searched for this, and found a Post on here that advised me to Download the Odin3 I777 One Click No BL. Once I finally got my phone into download mode (which was a chore in itself) I finally was able to show SGH-i777 in My Kernel Version when I go into About Phone. HOWEVER - I still get the GT-i9100 under the logo during boot, my Auto Play window that pops up on my computer when phone gets plugged in via USB shows GT-i9100 and Kies tells me it can not update the device but at least it registers as SGH-i777
My questions are, how to get rid of whatever it is that shows up GT-i9100...so I guess how to start ALL OVER. And second, is how to properly get ICS or maybe even Jelly Bean - and if there is a root for it. What the proper steps are, so I dont end up in this mess again. Thanks in advance guys!
Triangle away from the appstore works to get rid of the triangle and such. You can also flash most if not all the roms here they are all ics or jb anymore I think

Hey buddy,
Looks like you took the long way haha. Alright, first of all we need to check if you are already rooted. Not sure if the one click no bl for you talk about was rooted or not.
If you determine you are rooted, you should be able to go into the android development forum, and flash any rom (be sure to follow instructions in OP).
If not, post back your android version, kernel info, and we'll go from there.
Ps, triangle away removes the triangle and gti9100 logo from startup, but you must be rooted and on ics (not sure if it works on jb, def no for gingerbread)

TriangleAway only works on ICS.
OP thanks for trying everything yourself first and learning from your mistakes before posting! You have no idea how many people don't put forth the effort you have done already. So as a reward, I'll provide you with nice easy links to get you back up and running again! :highfive:
This guide will help you get back to completely stock, unrooted Gingerbread (as if you just bought the phone). You can skip only the last step of that guide since you're actually keeping your phone. Then you can use this guide to start flashing custom ROMs without getting that triangle thing. I highly recommend reading both guides very thoroughly and multiple times so you understand everything. After doing so, feel free to ask questions about anything you don't understand from your reading and I'll do my best to help you out. And after you fully understand everything you are about to do, here's a list of ROMs, kernels, etc for your choice of flashing (most custom ROMs for this phone versions of ICS).

Haha, thanks. I tend to find pleasure in finding out things for myself. I love messing and tweaking with things. But this has got me stumped. I am used to Apple (if I am allowed to use that word here ) And jailbreaking that was a breeze. This, is way more challenging and entertaining.
so this is all about the warning triangle? and how to get to ICS?
r u serious?
I had to of missed something, but already flashed i777 stock, so yeah
I'm guessing it was the fact that OP's post was written in decent English and explained his problem in fairly well, the steps he took to cause it and what he's done to try to resolve, that it took a whole hour for the regulars to jump in here with the typical bs posts. (and ya, I know this is a bs post also, but damn, it gets old reading these same guys crap)

Why are you trying to be such a ****? Honestly except maybe motomudder's (sorry man ) there weren't any bs posts and none were necessary. You say you get tired if reading the same old crap of telling everyone to do what they agreed to when they signed up but when we tell people to do it over and over it annoys you? Nice double standards.

hello, also a new user here, with a situation similar to OP's
I had a working, rooted ICS by flashing the siyah kernel. Then I ran ROM manager and ruined everything
I used "I777UCKH7 OCD Root No BL" to get back to rooted gingerbread, but it's full of errors "android.process.acore unexpectedly ended"
I don't want to make it worse, which is why I'm asking you guys. Do I need CWM to do a system wipe? Should I reset/wipe my phone first, then flash an ICS ROM? What about kernels - how do I go from UCKH7 to UCLE5 (if that makes sense)?
my end goal is just a rooted ICS

From my understanding you can do a wipe data/factory reset from 3e recovery while on KH7.....I'd search it beforehand. but IIRC.
But if you want stock. flash stock.
we dont need a working system to be able to flash a ROM with Odin or CWM.

LOL...yes. This, and we should also add that if you flash a ROM for the 9100 on your 777 you need to buy all the recognized devs on the 777 forum a beer
To kernelsprite: i don't have an answer for you, but I'm fairly sure that the people who can help you will need some more info. Can you boot your phone? If not, can you get into recovery or download modes? What ROM did you have in place before you used ROM manager? Was it just stock?
Hopefully with this info someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to help.

Double Checking Rooting Information

Before I try rooting my phone, wanted to double check couple of information.
I have a verizon galaxy note 2.
I updated the patch that came out in May when it asked me to update OTA.
I have been reading up on this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066.
Am I ok running VZW-Gnote2-CASUAL-NoYouVerizon-CASUAL-R638b-Nightly.jar? I know there are different versions, but do not know if it will work with the latest update from Verizon that I have.
Thank you~

Well at least now you have root so you can enable neat features in some apps. Of course you can flash roms. See the developer sections and read up on which you may want to flash.
Ridin' a Note 2 blast
So rooting is basically just getting to that team win recovery project screen to do other things? Do I run Cause each time I want to install new roms?

To get into recovery, shut down, then press your power/home/volume up buttons all at the same time, then wait, it should boot into team win recovery. Then you can install goodies on your phone.
I have successfully rooted my device and installed a rom. For some reason, when I press the down volume, home button, and the power button, it goes into odin mode, downloading do not turn off target, and stays on that screen for a while. (This has occurred about 4 times even after pulling battery out and doing it again.)
How long do you stay on that screen for usually?

To boot into recovery it is Vol Up, Home, and Power from a powered off phone. Vol down, Home, and Power will put you into Odin.

Honestly if you don't know you don't flash ANYTHING in Odin unless you have to restore to stock then you need to go to the Development section and read droidstyles sticky before you soft brick your phone. You need to have a better understanding of the process before you jump in the deep end.
If you still don't understand how to flash Roms after reading droidstyles guide then watch some YouTube videos on how to flash Roms, DO NOT download any of the Roms those people in the videos are flashing unless they are made for the Verizon Note 2. Never ever flash something for another phone unless you want a potential brick, the only other phones Roms we can flash are the N7105 (LTE version of the international Note 2), the AT&T Note 2, and the T-Mobile Note 2 and even then you can only flash their Touchwiz Roms with a conversion mod. It will be best if the only Roms you flash, until you understand everything, are ones you get from the Verizon Note 2 Development and Original Development sections on XDA.

No you don't have to run Casual again. That's done and won once you see TWRP. You flash (install) roms from TWRP ("recovery"). I recommend that you search "how to flash a rom using TWRP" on You Tube. Then I would read the TWRP thread in one of the xda dev sections and or do google/bing search on TWRP. And starting out at first I would only flash roms from the xda Verizon GN2 dev section. I would forget about roms you hear about elsewhere until you are comfortable with TWRP and the xda dev section roms after 2-3 months. The point being to avoid soft or even hard bricking your wonderful device. Take your time, let the knowledge soak in because the rom world will still be there when you're ready. Good luck.
