If im going to flash new kernel with my custom kernel do i need to wipe something or it will just overwrite on it it and i dont need to wipe?
Thanks for the answer in advance..
Just flash it, don't worry about anything else.
Sometimes there might be scripts in etc/init.d but not usually. Depends on the dev. Some rom devs have scripts there too.

I did flash a new kernel and it works perfect. I think its been overwitten. Thank you bro!
Oh sir one more thing my kernel is siyah s3 v1.4 how can i updATE it to higher version? Do i need to download the new version and just flash it or is there an update button for this and no flashing required? Thanks..
Just download latest version and flash it
just download and flash it
if download .zip version, flash using cwm recovery
.tar version then flash using either pc or mobile odin
Thank you guys!

I was trying to understand a little bit more about the different kernels for SIII. I'm always on stock, because I dont quite understand the benefits of syiah, franco, etc kernels,,, Can anyone tell a poor noob which kernel is good for battery life?
Thanks in advance

Siyah is a good well developed kernel , it comes with a configuration app, but the default settings work great....from there is a matter of watching the thread, reading and learning about what all the various tweaks do, usual rules apply,....don't mess with stuff until you understand what you are doing

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.
My phone’s data
SGH-i777
Android 2.3.6
Baseband I777UCKK6

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........

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.

You're wifi won't go away in the first place.
I've got the day off and nothings really going on so I'm looking to root my SGS III. Still in the preparation phase but I'm basically looking to find the quickest, easiest way to obtain root.
What I've come across is the tool kit and CF-Root methods of doing this. Basically what's the difference between these? I'm also reading about flash counter? And triangle away gets rid of it? I'm not too sure on that really..
Ideally I think I'd prefer using Odin but I cant seem to extract the CF-Root file to get the .Tar PDA file. This is why I've stopped and decided to post before proceeding to **** it all up, as I once did with my SGS...
Any help would be appreciated thanks all
..... Should also say I'm running stock with the latest OTA update if that's any worth

Can't really comment on "best"
But I've had good experience with AHD, WanamLite (2.0) and Omega. All with stock kernels. But Siyaah 1.4 is a good kernel to start with if you want a custom kernel.
Currently my daily driver is Faryaab's AOSP JB Build 3. Loving it!
Sorry, poorly phrased.. should have said, what rom do you use and why?
I confess at the moment I have gone back to a stock de-odexed Rom just to see what Samsung is like after 2 years of being on aosp/cm9 roms, just running siyah kernel over it and removed a bit of bloat.....quite enjoying it

To install cm10 you need root access, go check cfroot by chain fire. Gapps is basically your Google now etc. With a custom recovery, just flash the cm10 and Gapps and you'll be good to go.
Stock kernel is subjective with very little difference. All kernels work for me so it's not so much of an issue deciding which is better.
The best rom is the one you try for yourself. Rom comparisons are not allowed on xda
Latest stock will be depending on whether you want android version 4. 1.1 or 4.0.4

You can safely ignore that error.
CWM in the apps drawer is the UI interface of the CWM recovery (accessed by pressing the Vol Up+Home+Power when booting up). CWM recovery works without a hitch.

All options are there when you boot into recovery, it is just the app that is incompatible, meaning a couple of the options won't work directly from the app....you need to boot into recovery to do those things.....don't worry, it's all there.
I personally prefer the older recovery as it doesn't use the blob method of backing up. And I'm used to the old way!
This may be a really stupid question but I'm still learning

Then, do you have a custom recovery installed? Like CWM?

You should read the full OP, and if you feel you are ready you just download the appropriate kernel zip, as in make sure it is for the galaxy s3. Also, make sure you flash the right kernel for your android version, like an ICS kernel will not work with a Jelly Bean rom and the other way round. Then simply flash it in Clockworkmod recovery and slowly and safely play around. I can't stress this enough, only play around with things after you fully understand what it is and does as overclocking can cause hardware damage. I hope this helps you

Hi.
I have a friend who has a Galaxy S2 I9100 (White version) and his android version is 4.0.4 stock, un-rooted of course. It's all stock.
I just want to ask a question since I have heard you can brick your S2 in recovery mode if it is 4.0.4. So my question is this,
HOW CAN I FLASH CUSTOM ROM WITHOUT BRICKING, ON STOCK 4.0.4 ROM.
Now my guess is this, I must be wrong, so please let me know if its dangerous or not.
Flash Stock 4.0.3 rom via Odin first, than Root it with Siyah kernel which also has ClockWorkMod Recovery, wipe everything, and than flash the Custom ROM.
Is it OK, or I must do something else.
Thanks a lot.
Just flash Siyah Kernel on 4.0.4 and you can then flash custom ROM no need to downgrade to 4.0.3.
Flashing latest Siyah Kernel via Odin, and than I can wipe data/reset wipe cache and everything, and flash the custom ROM immediately from there after doing a NANDROID backup and the phone will not get bricked, right?
Is this really so safe?
Thanks for helping.

Yes after flashing Siyah kernel ( v4.1.5 or v5.0.1 meant for S2) from ODIN ( u have to use the tar file of siyah) ur phone with android ICS 4.0.4 will be safe from 'Brick Bug' issue'.
In siyah recovery u can do wipe data/cache, make nandroid bkp of ur exsisting rom and also u can flash any custom JB or ICS roms ( which support siyah kernel) on ur phone without any issue

Correct!
It was also correct in the other topics that cover bricking, flashing, rooting etc and are easy to find by looking at first/second page of questions or by using search.
Use search or look in future as you will get your answers quicker. They are already out there.
Thanks all.
Also, I searched, but couldn't get an exact answer. People were asking around that topic, but exactly how I wanted to ask (although I am sure a heavy search would've found me my answer) Also since this is a Q&A section I thought even asking the obvious question wouldn't make anybody mad. So thank you for your questions.
I dont usually create a lot of topics to ask questions, but only do it when I think it would be better if I get the opinion from more experienced guys so I wont brick anything.
Thanks a lot guys, and the whole XDA Community. The main reason Android is today the number.1 OS on smartphones.
one more question please.
if the phone is on stock 4.0.4 and with siyah kernel, updating the phone with Kies when updates are available, will it brick it or something like that.

Kies won't work anymore. You have to flash your rom(s) through Odin or via CWM.

This guy did not like the Custom ROM world so he asked for everything to be back.
But when restoring the Nandroid backup the SeuperSU app CWM app and STweaks was there so I deleted all these all these apps with RootExplorer and than deleted RootExplorer too. I hope I didn't do any bass mistake doing that because i have no money to pay him a new S2.

after all that deletion, if the phone is wrk'ng normally then nothing to worry
i don't know. it worked well but i didn't try to reboot it because i feared if it will not turn on. i hope he doesn't call me saying his phone is not powering up anymore.
I'm living in fear. it is so awkward you can't believe. can't keep my head cool no matter how much i try.

Dont worry ma8, it will reboot normally without any issue's, since u have deleted only apps
Oh god. thanks for this news.
Yep I only deleted apps nothing more. thank you , you made my day. i can have a well deserved sleep now. thanks
one thing i learned today: never tell anyone you know some little about either Android, Windows or stuff like that. risky and not with it.
