Okay, so I have created a different thread about No rom manager when i first got my phone. I have found the update.zip file in the noob thread. But now, I have done everything, & I flashed a rom. I would like to flash a different rom to check it out, when I do, It says something about the script being too old or something? any help? I haven't encountered this in my other phones (g2, hd2, mytouch 3g)
More info would help (what rom are you on and which one you are trying to flash) but it sounds like you are on cm7/miui/ics and are trying to flash a touch whiz rom which in that case you have to odin back to stock jfd first.

Hi I want to install latest CM9 nightly, As Im installing first time, I just want to make sure that my phone is running firmware lower than XXLPH though it looks lower but cant judge, I went through official CM9 Thread I can follow all the steps except this one. And also I have already rooted my device using
GT-I9100_THR_I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4 (firmware) and
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v4.4-CWM4.tar (root kernel)
I still havent installed any custom rom yet.
Here is my current phone details:
GT-19100
Android 2.3.5 (STOCK)
Baseband 19100XXKI4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ2-CL676699root
____________________________________________
I thought my firmware is higher than XXLPH so I found this guide to ugrade to ice cream firmware first:
http://androidbeast.com/937/tutoria...oid-ice-cream-firmware-on-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100/
then root it with this kernel :
http://androidbeast.com/948/root-samsung-galaxy-s2-cf-root-kernel-odin/
Now I need your advice that weather should I continue following above guide or should I start flashing CM9 firmware staright away ??
now that you are rooted and on ics, you can then follow the instructions in CM9 thread.
Flash odin version first and then update to latest build from cwm recovery
codeworkx said:
If you're a bloody noob and getting confused by following simple instructions, go down and read about using the noob-proof ODIN method.
First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Galaxy S II, or coming from another ROM:
- READ FAQs: http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/Experimental:GT-I9100:Frequently_Asked_Questions
- Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders lower than LPH: Download (flash as PDA with odin or extract and $ sudo heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin)
- make sure you're running a proper working CWM like the one from CM7
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip
- Flash GApps zip
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your calendar sync will not work)
- Reboot
- Don't restore Apps using Titanium Backup!
Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9:
- Copy CM9 ZIP to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip
- Wipe cache partition and dalvik-cache
- Reboot
Using the noob-proof ODIN method:
- Download CM9 Resurrection Edition
- Download GApps and put it onto your internal sdcard
- Open Odin
- Choose cm-9-XXXXXXXX-ODIN-galaxys2.tar.md5 as PDA
- Boot your phone into download mode
- Connect your device via usb to your computer
- Wait till Odin has fully recognized your phone
- Hit the start button and wait till the flash process is finished
- Device boots automatically into recovery
- Flash GApps, wipe cache and dalvik-cache
- Reboot into CM9
- Follow above steps to update CM9 to lastest available version (Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9)

Yes, follow the "noob proof" method. (which doesn't seem too noob proof at the moment... :/)
And seriously, why did you start two threads (this current one, and this other one) about flashing an ICS ROM? CM9 is considered an ICS ROM, so really the topic is the same.
Hi.... i recommend this site galaxys2root.com
it helped me figure out a lot of stuff in the beginning. Video walkthrough of installing roms is really a big help.
For the latest Ressurection Remix 1.2 looki the Android developer forum.
I am about to install now
Hope you get it all sorted

Actually on that post I wasn't sure which ROM was based on what firmware but i came to know from users like you and I got clear idea from you all before that in the mean time, i was gathering info through various guides, videos from weeks and merged those ideas in to one then I decided to install CM9 as it looks similar to new galaxy nexus phone and this is exactly what I wanted my phone to look and behave like. Now I am happy and satisfied.
I have done oden with bootloader but in the middle of that the bootloader progress in oden is turn to red and cell get off. now its hard bricked, dead, what i can do

Man... why did you the touch the bootloader first? never play with it unless you know whats gonna happen! and about noob installation guide for CM9 is not clearly noobproof, I completely did all installation with clockworkmod recovery, I used ODIN only once for rooting my phone after that i never used it as I was very very cautious and careful about each and everything bit i was doing.
But never loose hope, you never know what kind of brick you have you have two ways to unbrick your phone,
1.Using USB jig, search it on XDA, Google, Youtube
2.JTAG Service, This is the ultimate solution if your phone is completely Hard bricked but for this you have to send your device to them.
here is their demonstration:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQdTi2vgMmY
its written in the cm9 installation to do the boot-loader with ODIN, that is what i do
oh bhai....... make sure you had i9100 not the i9100G,
remove battery and see if you can get download mode.
im running cm9 on new bootloader unless intratech still removes them from his stock ROm as he used too..... i came from stock LPS to cm9
that much sense i have dear its s2, and ya its dead, i send the cell to lahore, khi, rwp, but no one have jtag proper equipment

you dont get it i9100G is also S2 and virtually same. you have to see under the batter if its written i9100 or i9100G.
because thats what would happened if you flash i9100 bootloader onto i9100G.
plus faulty usb, dead battery can do the trick aswell.
Just moved from iPhone to i777, wanted to get ICS, but eneded up bricking my first phone by installing something meant for i9000. At that time I didn’t know Galaxy S2 has variants, just searched for S2 and got burned. My fault…..should have understood better.
I want to do it right this time so I have been reading about i777, ROMs, kernels, CWM.
I want to put SHOStock or CM9 ROM.
I know where these ROMs are and how to flash them using CWM.
But that’s where my confusion starts, that there are just too many sources and options and I don’t know which one is right.
So please advise.
How do I root?
Using this? It has multiple options
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18576627#post18576627
or this ?
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/
Which kernel to use
The one mentioned in SHOStock thread #3 post the Cherry Picker Kernel for i777 or Entorpy? Siayh
How do I get CWM on these, isn’t recovery part of the kernel or do I flash It separately or may be use ROM Manager, once rooted.
Modem? What does it do? Is it for phone or wi-fi and how do I know which one to use.

Here's what you need to do:
1. Use Odin to flash stock UCKH7 with Root, available here. Be aware that doing this will require a full wipe, so do what you can to back up your sms/mms/contacts and other data. READ EVERY STEP CAREFULLY. Do not flash a kernel with Odin.
2. Now that you have root access, download Mobile Odin from the Play Store. Use it to flash either Entropy's DD or Siyah. This will install CWM Recovery.
3. Boot into CWM Recovery and make a nandroid backup.
4. Use CWM to flash SHOStock or CM9.
First of all thanks for responding.......
Is there a relation between which ROM will work with which Kernel, I may be wrong but I got the impression, depending on which ROM you are putting, you should have a kernel that supports it.
Also it seems like, ShoStock has its own variation of entropy, named cherry picker.
Thanks.......

Sometimes there is, but it seems like most of the ICS kernels are interchangeable. Just try out each kernel for a few days...once you have CWM, switching kernels is no big deal. When switching kernels, though, it's always wise to flash jivy's Kernel Cleaning Script just before flashing a new kernel.
Can you use CWM to flash kernels as well ? I thought they always have to be done using ODIN.
May be I underestimated CWM, I thought it was for ROMs and zips only.

u can use mobile odin or cwm but its just a matter of preference you just had to use mobile odin at first to acquire a cwm enabled kernel but pretty much you can flash everything in cwm as long as its specified to be cwm flashable zip kernels roms and modems and such
edit: the free mobile odin only lets you flash kernels btw its the premium version that lets you do everything without going to recovery
hope to help

You don't seem to have a firm grasp on all this. Maybe you should do some more reading before going further...
Anyway, here's a brief explanation:
A kernel is the underlying core of the operating system; it is how the OS interacts with the hardware.
A rom (the proper term is actually firmware, but nobody uses it) is basically the whole user interface; it's the part of the OS you see. When you flash a rom, you're flashing everything, including a kernel.
Like I said before, you never want to flash a custom kernel using Odin. Doing so will trip the phone's flash counter, and this will show up if you ever have to take the phone in for warranty stuff.
The reason it's ok to use Odin to flash the stock with root package is that it comes with the stock kernel, not a custom one. Basically, once you're rooted, you shouldn't touch Odin again unless its to recover from a brick. Basically everything else can be done in CWM.
Yes I am still reading & trying to get a grip on it.
So first I will root it, then flash kernel using Mobil Odin
Then get in CWM mode ad flash ROM, which will come with the kernel i.e. cherrypicker kernel and modem I need.
Yes one part I have understood very well is that use CWM as much as one can to avoid committing mistakes by flashing something that doesn't belong.
Sorry for asking so many qs., I wish I could understand this faster.....
Thanks again........

Yeah no problem. I would suggest that you wait a while before doing this. Read through all the stickies and guides to can find, and get more familiar with everything. Then after a couple days, go for it.

You don't need any more of a guide than that. Don't worry about breaking wifi, that isn't a problem on any of the popular roms.
If you want a Samsung based ICS rom that works really well, I suggest ShoStock2. If you want an AOSP based rom, most people suggest AOKP. I haven't tried it personally.

Hey there,
I'm currently using a Galaxy S2, which is running stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 (no updates available through OTA nor Kies)
Baseband version: I9100XXKI1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4
And now I would like to get CM9 on my phone. Although I read quite a lot of threads and tutorials, I still have some
unanswered questions left.
Of course I would like to get onto CM9 in the fastest (and safest) way possible, but I'm not really sure how I would accomplish this.
Is it rather better (or even possible) to just go from 2.3.4 directly to CM9? Could I first root it using insecure kernel or CF-Root and then use CWM Recovery to flash CM9? And would this process actually flash all the necessary things, like the correct firmware, kernel and bootloader?
Or should I use Odin to flash it to stock ICS first and then just follow the official full update guide from the Cyanogenmod Wiki (because it is written with the requirement of stock ICS running on the phone) ?
Please help me out with this, I'm thankfull for every answer that I get :laugh:
Follow the noob-proof instructions on the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20841817 , and you can jump to cm9 from your current firmware, no need to go to stock ics first.

No. It already includes CWM recovery. After you flash it, boot to CWM and flash the last cm9 update + gapps, wipe data/cache and reboot.
Make sure you put the .zip files on your sdcard first
Great thanks!
This seems to be easy as it can get
Oh and just one more thing, should I do a backup of some sorts? Just a little bit unsure, because then I would have to root first, do a backup and then would be able to the whole CM9 thing (I don't know if the rooted kernel could somehow interfere with the Resurrection Edition later on)

I'm not sure, but i think the NOOB proof method you used already wiped your data in the flashing process. So there is no need for you to do it again

okay so I read through some of the threads and I still don't know how to fix my issue. I rooted my phone using Odin v 1.85 and used siyah 3.4.2. I did it successfully and everything was good. I then gave the phone to my cousin and he said he performed a factory reset to get rid of everything on the phone ( contacts ,etc). Now when I turn on the phone it shows the samsung galaxy display with the triangle and then the screen goes black and just blinks. It still goes back into download mode I just dont know what to do to fix the problem. I know I'm a noob but please HELP!!!
Development section. You'll find the stickies that show how to flash stock packages with Odin. Go back to stock to fix your issue. You should then be able to load a new kernel and flash a custom rom.
Oh, and never let that cousin touch the phone again.

You will need to root first. If you did not flash the stock plus root package already, flash that, and then install a custom kernel which has ClockworkMod Recovery. Then you can flash any firmware.
There is a good guide linked in my signature.

Flash a kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery, then boot into recovery and flash the firmware. Mobile Odin can't handle the CWM flashable zip format.
There is a Siyah kernel for gingerbread that would give you CWM so you could then flash a custom rom. It would be in the development section. Just make sure you grab the version for gingerbread and not ics

I assume you mean nandroid backup from ClockworkMod Recovery? No. It's mainly a space issue, where you want to store them, because they take up quite a bit of space, especially if you have several.
