Hello guys,
I've just bought a new Galaxy S2 I9100 (Android 2.3.5).
It's already rooted (got CF-Root 4.4), and I want to install cm9.
I've read a lot of articles and tutorials, and i'm confused a little...
If I just want to install the latest stable cm9 release, all I need to do is install the zip file using the recovery mode?
Or I need to use Odin and do some more steps?
I also saw some users say I need an ICS boot, and i don't really know what to do.
Thanks!
Yss, you can install it through CWM Recovery. It doesn't necessarily need an ICS Bootloader.
Cheers!

Just continue with my steps below.you don't need to flash anything through Odin
General steps before flashing a new ROM.
1. Backup your present ROM just incase
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
4. Format /system (under mount)
5. Flash your desired Rom/zips (cm9 in your case)
6. Fix permissions (under advanced)
Notes:
- If you are moving from from an AOSP ROM to Samsung (vice versa), perform all the steps above.
- If you are upgrading / downgrading from one android version to another e.g ICS to jellybean or 4.0.3 to 4.0.4, also perform all the steps above.
- If you are upgrading from a Samsung ROM to another wipe the same android version, you may skip step 1.
- if you are upgrading your Aosp/aokp Rom with another with the same android version e.g 4.0.4 Aosp to 4.0.4 aokp, you may also skip step 1.

Go to CM9 website and follow the instructions there. I'm a new user and I successfully installed it a while back. All the best.

Thnkas guys!
And just another question:
It doesn't matter whether I install a file that starts with "update" or a file that doesn't (like cm-9.0.0-galaxys2.zip), right?

Ok, I installed the cm9, the phone booted up, I set up all the setting, checked the new system a bit and now it doesn't responding :S
I just entered the settings icon and didnt touch it, and the phone turend off.
I turned it on, and im stuck in the opening window (samsung galaxy 2 sII gt-I19100) with the caution mark.
What to do?
Flash the zip file once again. Sometimes, the 2nd time does wonder.
Note: wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache and fix permission also.
If that didn't work. Do take out the battery, wait 3 minutes, put it back in and turn on the phone again.
No guarantee it will work. I am just a guy trying to share what I have learned so far.

Did you do a full wipe? Usually when you come from GB or stock sammy rom and flash cm9/cm10 directly without wiping, it will be stuck in a boot loop.
Edit: As the guy above me said, do a full wipe (factory reset,cache,dalvik cache) and flash it again, you'll be fine.
Edit2: If all else fail, flash the cm9 resurrection edition. Follow the instruction posted in the OP.

I did do a full wipe (cache and dalvik cach) and factory reset.
When I turn on the phone while the usb is plugged in, it stck at the big battary window (its not moving)
When I turn on the phone while the usb is unplugged , it stuck at the caution mark window.
And i can't enter recovery mode by pressing the 3 keys, because its stuck :S
To take the battary off? I'm kinda afraid of doing that

Go to download mode and flash cm9 resurrection edition. After that, flash the cm9 version you want. It's okay to take the battery off since you are not flashing anything.

Yes resurrection version via odin will sort it. Your phone isn't broken so don't panic. Once you have resurrection on you can update to the latest nightly. As above says read instructions carefully, it's sound advice. All the best.

Ok guys! thanks a lot
My phone seems to be working just fine!
I'll sum up the steps, maybe someone would need it:
1) I started with a rooted S2 I9100 (android 2.3.5).
2) I installed cm9 using recovery mode (Jokesy's instruction on first post)
3) The phone booted up for the first time (after the instllation), then crushed and didn't boot again.
4) I installed cm9 resurrection edition using Odin and download mode (the instructions in the first post of CM9 thread in general section)
5) Then did step 2 again.
6) works fine!
Good work man, for a new user, you didn't ask irritating questions all the best and keep it up

Let me understand 100%....
If you have battery pulled and then cannot boot into recovery or download mode. Correct ?
But you can power on, but stuck on the boot screen. Correct ?
If this is both correct, maybe your boot partition is corrupted and without download mode or recovery the only hope is the USB jig to force it to boot into download mode and then you can flash official firmware with Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
BOTH right ,I can get into download or recovery mode when power on , but stuck on the boot screen. When I charge it , the battery logo isn't appear.
what should I do??
Please explain what exactly steps you were doing that lead to your situation. Maybe others will have another idea.
Try the USB jig to force your phone into download mode and flash firmware with Odin as previously suggested.
If the jig doesn't work. You're bricked and only a JTag or Samsung service center can now help.

I FLASHED the offical room found in firmware.COM ,after that , it reboot and get into the recovery mode itself.
Excellent, seems we misunderstood each other , otherwise you would not have been able to flash anything.
Now. Just flash root kernel (with cwm included) and you'll be good to flash your favorite rom.
Don't forget to full wipe before the rom flash (system.data.cache.dalvik) and you will be trouble free. First boot will take a while so be patient.

Nothing to panic about, first of all, FLASH A STOCK FIRMWARE..and it will boot into the recovery showing loads of errors, well the problem has not been solved,clearly..
Now, Flash a Stock Kernel Via ODIN..Or a CF-Root kernel as suggested by one of the users! Also,if u still face problems, In the Question & Answer Section of the Forum For SGS2,u will find :

Try flashing a custom root ROM such as Litening ROM v2.6. You can flash .tar directly with Odin. It will install CWM Recovery and siyahkernel. Give it time to first boot maybe 5 minutes ... be patient

Thx.
Which recovery are you using? If it's not ClockworkMod Recovery (I should say any custom recovery) you won't be able to flash any custom ROM.

I do have CWM 3.15.
No idea why it didn't flash, and I flashed A LOT of roms including RR 2.6.1/Wanam and more.
I just wanted to feel CM9 on my phone but with no success, any ideas ?
Cwm 3 seems a bit old. Latest Siyah (which I'm currently running) has Cwm 5.
Maybe you should try with that.
Have you done ALL wipes that are necessary?

I did all the wipes, in fact I forgot to mention that I had RR 2.6.1 and after I did all the wipes I flashed to CM9, after i flashed it, I rebooted the device (since nothing happend) and only then, I saw I have a different CWR! - Yea the device booted to recovery !
I tried to flash CM9 AGAIN (with the CWR 3), it said done/completed, still nothing happend, I rebooted again and it came back to recovery, AGAIN.
Only then I flashed to Wanam 12.3 and after that to Siyah - so yea NOW I have CWM 5 and everything is working great.
I still have absolute no clue what on earth I am doing wrong ?!
I still want to flash to CM9...need all the help I can get !
No one knows if there is a solution for this issue ?
Right now I am on Wanam 12.3 rom with Siyah Kernel 3.5.2, and I want to flash to CM9.
I go to recovery do all 3 wipes, choose the zip file flash and it says 'completed' but nothing happens.
This isn't the first time I am flashing...never happend to me before!
Experienced users please do write your thoughts.
Thank you.

I'll download the file, and this weekend will flash via: recovery -> install zip file from internal after the 3 wipes.
Btw, we are talking about this file correct ? :http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/5572/cm-9-20120805-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy Player 5.0 (US edition, capacitative buttons) and it decided to just stop booting one morning. I was running version 1.4 of this custom rom. I'm only able to enter download mode, and can't even get to the Samsung logo. After trying various methods and trying to flash different bootloaders/PIT files/ROMs with ODIN, I'm back to where I started.
Is there any set of bootloader/PIT/ROM files that I can use to flash with ODIN to get my Galaxy player up and running again? All of the older download links on this forum seem to be dead ends.
Thanks!
Hey. I was up to the point where my device was hard bricked. Wouldn't go into download mode. So. First: Get boot loaders. Those can be found in AdamOutlers thread of the UnBrickableMod somewhere in the dev forum here. Next, flash Entropy512's Kernal, make sure auto reboot is OFF and re partition is off too. For flashing both boot loader and kernal. Then flash a stock gingerbread rom. Then unplug, reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then you SHOULD be fine and booted into stock. Then download your rom again and re flash. Any trouble, let me know bud.

After finding the right stuff and flashing it (and making sure I had a pretty good charge in my player), I was able to get into recovery, wipe, and reboot into stock! Thanks! A couple of things I've noticed:
Battery indication doesn't work (even when I turn it off and charge; still thinks it's at zero battery all of the time)
Capacitative buttons work, but won't light up.
Would putting on a different ROM fix any of these issues?
Try to wipe battery stats in recovery and for buttons maybe rom you flashed was for international

Hello Everyone, I badly need your help guys. Unfortunately, i can't post a question on the specific thread im having problems with.
this is by the way, a question from a developed custom rom or upgraded rom for xperia ics. here is my question.
I got Xperia Sola, running on an official update from our country i believe or ASIA im not sure if its INDIA. But i ran it through Sony Updater. After i followed the instruction guides for installing your custom rom. i simply to a steps:
(assume i downloaded all the files needed)
1. i run Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v9_4 (reboot)
2. i run cwm-installer-sola-1.1 (manually reboot)
3. enter CWM
4. copy PURE_BLOOD_ROM_V1.zip from internal SD
5. install PURE_BLOOD_ROM_V1.zip
6. I can see an update running
7. Did reset/reboot by itself
8. It stuck, not moving anymore. i only can see SONY logo, nothing more and its not moving.
I am a bit curious if it really takes some time to fully install/update? I waited almost 15mins for it and my phone is a bit hot now. Is this normal? Please help me what to do.
Thank you.
I dont know what CWM you have installed, but i did the same with munjeni's CWM - i flashed the boot img with fast boot command, placed the ROM in sd, went into CWM and installed the ROM, wiped data, wiped cashe, wiped dalvick cashe and rebooted.
Thats it

So yesterday I finally tried to install a custom ROM on my Samsung GT i5801 phone which previously ran Froyo. I didn't know much about ROMs and its my first time so i tried to use one of AOKP ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548627 ) I don't know why but it wouldn't install using CWN v.5.0.2.8 and I tried to do it anyways using ODIN. It kinda flashed it but it never worked. It destroyed my stock ROM and I didn't have any backups.
Then I found a Cyanogen mod 7 ROM for GT I5801 and I installed it on my phone using CWN. It installed fine but keeps boot looping. I tried everything after that. Clearing cache, Dalvik Cache, and even tried to re-install the ROM using the wipe data/ factory reset and installing the Cyanogen zip file, but it still boot loops.
Can anyone tell me of a solution, please?
Any help is welcome.

Try wiping everything on the phone including the system, then pull out the battery, reboot in download mode, and then flash a stock Rom on your gt-5801. This should bring you back to a bootable Rom.
Now repeat the process of rooting and installing cwm/cm7
