I have a problem installing Wanamlite on my S2. I'm getting the Status 7, Installation Aborted error when flashing through CWM. I have searched for similar threads and all but cant find any. The closest solution was to delete a getprop line which I read from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28594852&postcount=9721
However I cant find the line in the updater-script file.
I’m coming from a Galaxy S2.
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband: XXKL1,
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKH1-….
Build: Gingerbread.DXKI2
I figured I must be doing something wrong, do I have to change my kernel or build or baseband before flashing this? I would appreciate any help!
Flash stock ICS, CF-Root and then Wanamlite.

Thanks for your quick response! Can I just confirm if i can do all this through CWM? I just download the needed zip files, boot into recovery, then install stock ics zip file, then cf root zip file, then wanamlite?
For the CF-root, which version should I install?
You flash CF-Root through Odin only. Stock firmware also through Odin.
Wanamlite through CWMR.
And version... exactly the same as build number of stock FW.

Okay thanks so much. I'm now following the guide here (http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-ph...-sandwich-on-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50006766/) to flash stock ICS 4.0.3, and will then flash the CF-root.
Im just curious as to what CF-Root does. Since my phone is already rooted.
You need CF-Root because after flashing ICS you will lose root.
CF-Root installs su, busybox and CWMR.

Thanks for your help. I just re-installed ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ and rooted by installing CF-ROOT (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar). However when I try and install the wanamlite, i still get Status 7, installation aborted. Any ideas why this happens?
Maybe you need to disable signature checking. Eventually ask in Wanamlite thread.
Thanks for the help. I managed to fix this. I think there was a problem in the zip file. I downloaded the non blue theme instead and it worked!

I used XXK14 insecure and rooted with S2 Root. Afterwards I flashed back stock kernel with Odin
Root with CF-Root kernel for KI8 then flash back to the stock kernel. You'll maintain root but lose the CWM Recovery menu. You'll have stock recovery, stock kernel and no yellow triangle.
thank you, I will try and post the result

and i searched for insecured kernel but i didnt know which one to use
and then i tried this script (DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859
i replaced zergRush file with the latest versions before running the batch
https://github.com/downloads/revolutionary/zergRush/zergRush.zip
and it rooted the device in less than 3 minutes with no problem at all (running titanium, rom manager or any app that require root)
but i faced one problem when using ROM Manager (ClockWorkMod 4.0.1.5) to do a Backup current ROM (from Rom Manager or by booting into Recovery)
I get the following message:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
don't know if doing soft-root is the problem and i have to do hard-root to make CWM work
any way just wanted to share my experience with you

Thanks man it worked like a charm
btw where is that +1 button? I can't seem to find it
another way to root is using SuperOneClick v2.2 since now it have the zergRush exploit
so it will work also
Just extract SuperOneClick 2.2, run it and click Root

Yes you can, but for this you need Root.
In rooted phone, just delete the unwanted applications (caution advised) by using root explorer and deleting the apks in /system/apps

pick the correct cf root kernel from my signature link if u are looking for method to root your phone
in a single flashing you will get Rooting and CWM
for JPKJ2 use this kernel, flash it from PDA section of the ODIN after unzipping to TAR file
read Gides for flashing files from ODIN...
http://download.chainfire.eu/48/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v4.4-CWM4.zip?retrieve_file=1
Jpkj2 can also be rooted using super one click using zergrush.
Counter will not bee added and you will not get yellow triangle
Is there s way for me to unroot this phone without the usb port?
Any takers on this issue? Or should I run the battery dead.
I have a stock rom on it but its rooted. Everything looks stock but it has superuser in the apps menu.
Use rootexplorer to delete SU app. Then download the siyah kernel cwm flashable zip. Replace the zimage inside with a stock one. Transfer it to your phone using Bluetooth. Flash it in recovery.
Once you reboot, you should be unrooted and having a stock kernel.

I can make one for you. But you will have to be rooted with a insecure kernel to flash it using cwm. After flashing it, you should be as good as stock.
It's not giving me a uninstall tab. It's giving me a install tab in root explorer

Long press on the Superuser.apk and delete. You may also have to delete the su binary and busybox to remove any signs of rooting.
Ok superuser is gone. Now to figure out this flash.

I am currently rooted and on Sensation ROM 1.8 using Siyah Kernel v 2.0
I would be very grateful if you can make a zip file for XXKI3 (2.3.5) or XXKH3 (2.3.4).
Thank you very much.
I can't find out what stock firmware I have. It's the stock one that came on the phone though.
Hey,
I've successfully rooted my SII and installed ROM Manager, but as I try to flash CWM Recovery and select GT-I9100 the install doesn't commence and I'm left with a message saying 'An error occurred while downloading your recovery'. Any solutions to fix this or flash CWM in a different way so I can install CM9?

Rom Manager from market is not properley compatible with our devices, no matter what the manager says or if you see SGS2 in the list. Uninstall it and only use the "CWM" app that is installed by kernel or reboot into recovery.

I assume you are talking about PhilZ recovery........
If all you want is a custom recovery on a stock firmware then you have to match the recovery to the firmware build......
And you *do* realise that the leak/test firmware is not as stable as release firmwares don't you?

You dont seem to know the basics pal.The stock rom he linked contains kernel/modem/rom so have a guess what happens when you flash them to your phone.

TBH we all have to find out the info at some point and this is my time to find out.
True, but you have to know the basics before flashing or else youll be the one with the non working phone.
Eg.If you had read a little bit about nand backups, you could have your phone back to how it was in 5 mins, before you messed with other roms.
So once you have your rooted phone to your liking you make a backup.Then if you try another rom and dont like it, boot into cwm and restore your backup in 5 mins.

It could be that the zip download is corrupted. Try re-downloading and flash again.
If not, flash Siyah v4 kernel via recovery or odin then try flashing desired rom again.

What aborted? Flashing the newly downloaded rom or flashing Siyah via ODIN and then trying to flash rom again?
If you cant flash rom after you have Siyah kernel installed then as mentioned above you will need to try and restock via ODIN.
Hi all, my second ish post on xda (yes im a moderate android noob), i am after some advice and help on flashing CM11 to my S2 (Intl), as it feels really outdated (because it is) and also quite slow (because it is). Ive read about the brickbug and i ran Chainfire's GotBrickbug tool and it said "unknown chip, not sure if dangerous, at least it isnt known to be bad. The chip is V3U00M and the revision is 0xE. I also ran another checker and it said sane chip. Im running the stock 4.0.4 (rooted with Framaroot and removed carrier rubbish) and apparently 4.0.4 is prone to bricking. Ive read about flashing new kernels (Siyah etc) and other methods. I know there is the 4.1.2 update, does that remove the chances of brickbug so i can then flash CM11 via CWM? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Official 4.1.2 firmware is safe, only 4.0.4 has brickbug.
So do i just upgrade to 4.1.2 then use odin to flash CWM 6.0.4.5 and then follow normal procedure? Thanks for replying btw

Download XWMS3 4.1.2 from sammobile site(you have to log in). Then use Odin to flash it. Download PhilZ xwms3 kernel and put kernel zip on sdcard. Reboot in stock Samsung recovery and flash that kernel zip file. Then reboot again in recovery and flash philz 6.0.5.0 touch recovery.
Or... You can root 4.1.2 with siyah kernel, but you need to flash kitkat compatible recovery

Yes, you can use OTA to update your android. Then you need to root your phone and install CWM compatible recovery to flash CM11

Thanks heaps man, ill probably use Framaroot as it is easy and it works atm, hopefully ill be a happy user of CM11 haha
I just thought I'd say I've got the S2 on OmniRom 5.1 now after using a rather unstable and buggy CM11 nightly. Thanks for your help BTW
