Lol. Chris Walken for the win. To the op-these threads are discouraged. Just try for yourself. We try not to compare Roms here as everybody like something different.

Kinda Noobie here
hello,
2 month back i brought unlocked i777 from ebay. It got rooted and unlocked with Android version 2.3.4, baseband i777UCKH7 and kernel version 2.6.35.7.
It got super user app (so i think its rooted). But the CMW is not installed. i checked in recovery mode (it show some android recovery).
So now i m thinkin of installing the latest AOKP ROM (with siyah kernel) but not sure wat to flash first.
should i root again first (root + CWM) then install AOKP. then change the kernel.
or root then kernel then AOKP ?
also i m confuse which root method should i use for installing CWM in gingerbread .

Please make sure you're running a safe kernel otherwise you'll brick your phone.
i read that guide thread .. as my phone got Superuser, i m using the Mobile odin method [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081].
As i m on gingerbread, i need to use gingerbread kernel to install clockwork model. i.e Entropy512's Daily Driver or Siyah 2.6.
but i wanna intall ICS rom , so after installing siyah 2.6 should is flash with latest AOKP on it ? will siyah 2.6 support the latest AOKP ?

Install kernel with cwm.
Boot to recovery and install aokp rom
Done
Every rom install contains a kernel that works with the rom. Doesn't matter what you had before.

When you flash the custom kernel with CWM, you can then user CWM to flash whichever ROM you wish. I.E. AOKP

So i have a Samsung Galaxy S II and earlier today i were thinking about rooting it.
So i were preparing for the root and installed the Samsung drivers.
When it had installed it popped up a message about new firmware(ICS).
So i installed it, and i dident like it.
So i were wondering, is there a root for ICS 4.0.3 yet?And if it is, can i install Clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod 7 (or 9) on it?
Thanks in advance!
(Sorry for my bad english,Im from Norway )

You don't need root to flash a ROM. Just enable usb debbuging and reboot in recovery, then flash whatever rom you want.
Easiest way to root your phone is to flash Siyah kernel (my opinion )
Cm7 is Gingerbread, Cm9, which is still nightly release, is 4.0.4. Cm9 comes rooted (I'm not sure about Cm7 though, but I think it's rooted too).
I personally use Cm9 with Siyah kernel because of the CWM and better recovery menu. Otherwise Cm9 comes with integrated Rom manager, so Siyah is not necessary.

YES CF Root for one

and Cyanogenmod 7 (or 9) on it?

Cyanogenmod 7 is based on Gingerbread and it's the only STABLE Cyanogenmod for Galaxy S2 so far.
Cyanogenmod 9 is still in nightly release ("nightly" means beta (or alpha?) release: may contain bugs, crashes, not working/included apps etc.) and it's based on ICS 4.0.4.
-------------------------------------------------------
Cyanogenmod 9 comes with integrated ROM Manager which is practically CWM with other name and more functions. With ROM manager you can backup/restore current rom, partition SD card, download and install ROMs AND you can flash latest clockworkmod recovery from where you can flash all kernels/roms/updates that you want (with clockworkmod recovery I mean the volume up-home button-lock button thing It changes the default recovery and gives you more options lol)
This is my first post and i was wondering if people could answer some questions i have.
First off heres my phones specs

Baseband version

I've rooted my phone using rachmat3 method and thats how far i've got because only just got phone as a gift and im scared to flash a new rom incase i brick my phone.
Is it safe to use the cwm.zip to flash a rom that i used from rachmat3 root method or do i need a updated version of cwm?
Can someone recommend a fully working paranoid android rom that i can use for daily use?
Which kernel would be best to use with paranoid android rom?
Should i flash a kernel before i flash a rom?
If i install paranoid android rom would i then have a permanant cwm on my device or would i still need to use my temporery cwm.zip?
What is the chances of me bricking my phone?

No need to worry
Just read the specific rom instructions carefully
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes mate now u can flash any Rom ....Just read the instruction before flashing
I would advise you to flash a safe kernel first before doing any wipe and flashing any roms. Siyah is a safe bet.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
1. Download ROM Manager and you'll be able to flash any ROMs you wish using that.
2. All the PA versions are working fine, so just browse through and choose for yourself.
3. Asking questions like that is against forum rules because they often lead to arguments. The best advice is just to download and flash different kernels and stick with which ever one you're happy with.
4. It really doesn't matter in which order you flash them. The result is still the same. I personally always flash the ROM first, but it doesn't make a difference.
5. If you use ROM Manager, as mentioned previously, even if you have to do a full wipe when flashing a different ROM, it doesn't matter because you can simply download it again anyway. Or just save it to your SD card.
6. The changes if bricking your phone are higher if you're worried about it. Just be sure to read all instructions given about installation and follow them perfectly and you'll be fine.
If after reading about flashing ROMs you are still worried, then you're better off waiting for a bit until you've done more research into what exactly is needed.

just follow the steps mentioned and follow some video (like on youtube) and it'll be easy!

Most ROM zips include kernels, so if somebody wants to stay with the same kernel, then it's necessary to flash custom kernel again.

You will need a pc if for example you flash a kernel and somethings not right.You cant get cwm, only download mode.
That happened to me when I flashed a siyah kernel.Phone was stuck and I couldnt boot into cwm.Only way to fix was boot to download mode and use odin/pc.

Error status code 7 when flashing ROMs usually means the install script failed an assert when trying to determine if you have the correct model of phone that the ROM is intended for.
Where did you download the copy of CM10.1 from? Are you sure that it is for your model of phone? According to your signature, you have an I9100. Are you sure you didn't download CM10.1 for I9100G, for example?

This is because your likley using Philz kernel for leaked JB.
To flash other custom roms you will need to change kernel back to a previous ICS or JB kernel like Siyah.
Flash the kernel (.tar version) via ODIN/Mobile ODIN.

The device starts until the yellow triangle and then its it...
Now i am not sure which is the right kernel for me to get my device back started.
It's a german phone, not brandet and i baught it in august 2012.
This is the Product Nr: GT-I9100RWADBT
Dont know if i can do anything with it...
