Right so here is my thing acouple of days ago i tried to go from a rom based on XLPH to one Based on XLPQ. I did the four wipes however on startup it would go into Kernel Panic Mode. I could not access cwm but could get into dl mode so i flashed cf root XLPH and managed to get back to the original rom i started from. It seems that any XLPQ based rom results in the same outcome of Kernel Panic Mode even siyah.Ive tried to go back to stock to start again but the same thing keeps happening.However as a last resort i flashed an original ota based samsung Build i don't now get the Kernel Panic Mode message but a blank screen and it shuts down I've managed to get into dl mode and get back to my original rom any advice.

unfortunately.. i having same problem..tired of this..please someone help..
i think it maybe hardware i hope not
Been a few people on my forum with the same problem but I seemed to avoid it.
First I made a nandrord backup and passed it to my PC.Then formatted my internalSD(have all important stuff on external anyway)then passed it back to internalSD again with the new ROM.Formated the phone-System,Data,cache in Mounts and Storage and flashed the official ICS from SamMobile.Rooted booted to recovery and then flashed the ROM on a clean device.After that flashed the CF-PROPER kernel cos the CF-Root kernel has the apps to SD and Titanium restore problems.So far all running smooth.
thanks will try that how do i get a nandroid back up to my pc
guys can i install this new XXLPQ ics update manually??...i heard its for the european phones...im in Malaysia...hope it wont effect my carrier phone calls, sms ad 3G network ~~
how did you reformat through cwm and how did you flash the official ics from sammmobile just glad im not the only one with this problem thought it was my fault.

sorry should have put it better i just want to know whether her reformatted in cwm or any other way ie kies.
CWM only .

Sorry had to go to bed.It was late in the morning here.
1.have your nandroid and custom ROM on the internalSD.The wont be touched by a format.
2.Boot to recovery and go to Mounts and Storage and format System,Data;Cache
3.Go back and wipe battery stats.Go back and do a Factory reset.
4.Reboot your device.
It wont boot properly cos you have formatted the system so pull the battery,put it back in and boot into download mode.Now flash via Odin the Official LPQ firmware that you can download from SamMobile and root with chainfires CF kernel.Now flash your custom ROM.
Tryed find a full "odin-version" of a XLPQ, including bootloader?
it MUST include XLPQ bootloader for this to work.
I had Kernel panic when I needed go from Omega V4 to v5.
Odin image with same kernel as needed, root it,
then try install youre new rom.
Good luck man
Thanx guys will try later maybe the idea of messing with the bootloader scares me im gonna try cooza method first.

i had this exact problem too
i tried various methods to fix it
in the end i flashed the main stock lpq as pda and also the kernal and modem in odin and it worked.
yeay it worked so far so good thanks cooza you are a legend probably shut put a sticky in the omega rom thread thanks a lot for all your help.
Ok so I tried to install the Domination ICS 4.0.5 theme on my phone. Followed the instructions very closely and still ended up in a bootloop. My phone was rooted and running an Odexed rom.(the theme was compatible with Odexed stock roms) and I had no prior mods installed. I tried a factory reset but when it starts up it says phone process, system UI has stopped and I get a boot loop. I can get into download mode.
I need urgent help as this is not my phone. Is there anyway to reflash stock ICS on it.
*EDIT* Sorry didn't see the sticky thread about boot loops. I was kind of in a panic. Can a mod please delete this thread
yeah boot you will have to flash back via odin
Yeah I guess I'm just a little panicky right now as this phone is a loaner phone from the service center. I shouldn't have tried to mess with it....lol. Well I'll just re download and flash with odin then and hope it boots up.
Good luck!

I know I was dumb. But I rooted it using a method which the flash counter does not change and I thought I'd just unroot it using the same method before I send it back. Also I got fed up with touchwiz. BTW isn't the left most box suppossed to be yellow in odin. Looks like its not picking up my phone. Oh ****
don't be panick your phone is still healthy.. just install the stock rom via Odin again or you have a CWM ? so install a rom with that things
cheers

Good evening people,
I need some help please. I thought I would flash my phone and flash a different rom on it. Obviously you have to root it first so I downloaded Odin,Samsung Quick Root, GT-I9100_XWLA4_insecure.tar & GT-I9100_XXLP6_secure kernels.
I used Odin to get the insecure kernel on so that I can then root my phone before rooting it back to a secue kernel and changing its rom.
After using odin,I routed the phone,said succesful but my phone sticks at the original load up screen. I unrooted it but its still sticks there but without the triangle.
Can someone please point me in the right direction as what to do as need to sort this soonest possible please,thank you.

since my last back up I dont think I've added many new numbers so not too bothered about that. Main thing was the photos which I have which at least wont be affected.
So after downloading the original stock for ICS4.0.3 from SamMobile, do I just upload the kernal and stock to PDA in ODIN and press start and then let nature take its course? lol

Right, I flashed the original stock from Odin and the phone is now working again,woohoo. I never thought I'd be so happy to see the O2 arena in London,lol.
However its still not working fully coming up with a crash warning like "Unfortunately,the process android.process.acore has stopped" and "Unfortunately, LogsProvider has stopped." and basically crashes all the time.
What I am looking to do is install this: CheckRom RevoHD 7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312240
I have downloaded the Rom for it, Odin and as mentioned previously them two kernels. You recommend I download Siyah Kernel 4.1.5 but cant find it unless I'm being blind,and is it a kernel which you have to tamper with or can you leave it as is?
When I have everything,as far as I know the steps are:
Open Odin, Flash the New Kernel
Root the device,
Copy Rom on to sd card
Start UP VOLUME,POWER & HOME
Install Rom from SD card
Is that right?

the error is common after install of a Stock rom ma8, all u have to do is to reboot to recovery and there 'Wipe Data/Factory reset' to get rid of the same
any way since ur trying to install check rom revo Hd 7, no need for the same
first flash the .tar file of siyah kernel v4.1.5 from Odin to root ur phone, after that when on reboot u will have an 'Yellow triangle' which u can get rid of later.
after installing the siyah kernel successfully u can install the Check rom revo hd 7 by following the install instructions in its thread
but u have to do a 'wipe data/factory reset' in siyah kernel's recovery, before flashing the Check rom

Excellent,thank you for your help.
I flashed the siyah kernel with Odin and then after installing CheckRom on to the SD card I installed the custom rom straight from there. I didnt do the wipe/data factory reset before flashing the checkrom but it seems to work just fine and the speed difference is quite a massive difference.
However,its easy enough to follow that step and wipe/data factory and then reinstall CheckRom,once again it says Confirm Wipe of ALL USER DATA?? Can I just confirm one last time that this wont get rid of all my photos and then I'll be happy to wipe/data factory reset before reinstalling the check rom.
Thank you for your help,glad to see that I didnt lose any contacts either as I had synced with google account at some point recently. just lost messages which not bothered about.

Hi everyone,
I gave it a shot at rooting my phone and upgrading it from android 4.0.3 to 4.2.1 (rootbox) but I failed miserably. Somewhere in between the phone got stuck at that warning yellow marker and it would only allow me to get into download mode. After trying 5-6 different firmware versions, I finally managed to get one of them to work with Odin and the phone works once again but this firmware version does not work with kies.
I have no idea what the original version was, but I can get all the details from an identical phone from the same operator if you tell me what would be needed. I know it is a silly question, but is there a way to download the firmware from another identical phone used by the same operator?
I want to either restore the phone to a firmware version of local Swiss operator or properly manage to upgrade the firmware to a light version of android so I won't have to deal anymore with all those useless default apps which start automatically and eat up the battery.
I welcome any and all advices.
Thanks in advance.
did you do a full wipe?
my SII is runnning on SlimBean 4.2.2.
just try it
the latest firmware for you S2 you will find at sammobile->firmwares->check your firmware
You can download stock from
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ just search for your phone and carrier then flash back to stock.
As the previous post said did you wipe first? Try a factory reset then flash the rom.

It would be great if I someone would lend a hand in fixing the following 2 small, but quite annoying issues:
1. finding a way to remove 3 of the 5 home screens - I just don't need them and its annoying.
2. finding a way to disable the vibrations that happen whenever I use the on-screen keyboard to write anything

1. If you are on TwLauncher (original one) put two of your fingers on opposite corners or homescreen and then move both fingers to middle. Then you'll see all homescreens and just long press one and a dustbin will appear. Put the homescreens on it
2. Settings > sound > there it will be an option to have you vibrate while pressing and you can uncheck it.
This is very basic stuff, you should explore everything on your phone before asking questions. Keep in mind for next time.
Till then, cheers.

Thanks for the feedback. Be it basic or not, it simply does not work. I used the basic Rootbox as described in this thread.
1. No matter how much I move my fingers on the screen no menu appears
2. System settings >> Sound >> "vibrate on touch" is disabled yet the phone vibrates when I type on the screen keyboard which is really annoying to others if I am in a meeting ... I googled for about 6 hours for a solution and when I failed to find one I posted here. I am sure that the time of everyone here is quite precious I would never want to waste it.

If you can get to the samsung boot logo, then no. Can you access recovery? Or just download mode? If you can access recovery, then factory reset>clear cache>clear dalvik cache and flash one of the firmwares you'd have on your sd card, assuming that you used CWM to flash a zip in the first place (you said that you had cMIUI and rootbox working, go back to one of those.) If you can't get into recovery, then try download mode. You need to keep trying to flash with Odin if you can only access download mode. There's a set of troubleshooting steps to follow if you get another bad Odin flash. Search through my posts for them, I posted them a week back or so.

If you're attempting to flash a stock ROM through CWM recovery, stop now. That'll never work. The only way to flash a stock ROM is to use Odin, Mobile Odin (which in your case won't work, requires phone to boot) or Heimdall (I've never used this personally). So if you're using recovery, DON'T flash stock. You have two options to flash a ROM at present:
1) Stock ROM using Odin
2) Custom ROM using CWM recovery.
Done and working Thanks a Lot

Good job getting it working again now, time for you to do some reading. Read about what flashing a custom kernel will do for you. Then pick one that's compatible with your firmware and flash it.

I would just flash with Odin the one I linked you to, that is the latest unbranded UK Rom, much easier and less hassle
Or you can try this ROM which is stock and pre rooted. You need to Flash this through Odin.

That way you keep stock ROM and stay with root from the word go!
