No a custom custom kernel will not remove your ROM, before you flash your chosen kernel read the devs instructions and notes on the brick bug issue. I use the latest siyah have had no problems. Read before flashing there is no rush. All the best

Nope it shouldn't brick your device but Instead of using Odin why not use the safer CWM recovery?

please rephrase your post. It's not clear

He meant stock Samsung kernel.
OP: you can't do this, since CM9 needs kernel compatible with AOSP ROMs.

Then is there any way to remove cm9 rom?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

If you want to remove CM9, I am assuming that you wish to replace it with a new ROM. Go through the forum and choose a new ROM and place it in your phone's USB drive or SD card. Then go into ClockWorkMod Recovery mode and Factory Reset/Wipe your device. Then install a new zip and choose the zip file of the ROM you downloaded. If there is any part of this that you do not know how to do, say so and I will give instructions or refer you to one of the many excellent guides that have already been written.
A kernel is essentially only a part of a ROM. So when you flash a new ROM you are flashing a new kernel as well, but when you flash a new kernel you are only changing the kernel section of your ROM, not your entire ROM.

Can I flash kernel Siyah-s2-v4.0.1-CWM.zip safely on my rooted S2?

Hi
Can I flash the above kernel safely using cwm? I am already rooted using cwm.zip then update.zip. I want to install and use some custom boot animations. I currently have ICS 4.0.4 XXLQ6.
Thank you
Tim

don't use ROM manager to flash anything on your device. It has caused many problems for many people already.
Flash with CWM recovery.
It's very easy to use.
BTW, what's your ROM details?

That was quick.
If iunderstood you properly, your aim is to flash Miui ROM, right?
I'm not sure if you are rooted or even have access to CWM recovery.
Anyway, follow this instruction:
- You will need root access. If you have let me know.
- You will need CWM recovery. If you have, let me know.
- have you found your desired miui ROM? If yes, post the link to the Rom thread
- why do you want to flash an miui ROM, is it because it looks like an iPhone? If yes, there may be other alternatives.
Waiting for your response.

on Xda, you cannot ask for ROM recommendation. Questions like that go through PM. If you want me to recommend you any ROM, send me a PM.
My aim is to help you install/flash your desired Rom safely.

Which sgs2 model do you have?
It sounds like your flashing incorrect rom/kernel to your model or you have corrupted files.

You gotta keep flashing.
Try stock first, that will give you a clean start.
And try to get ROMs from XDA, not google.
When I tried a stock ROM I don't remember the name but it got stock on S logo and the recovery mod didn't work, and the stock ROM that was installed is I9100xxkp8

what version of android are you using?
if it is based on samsung leaked rom you can't install a custom kernel.
if it is based on cyanogen base or samsung 4.1.2 base, you can flash siyan kernel !
Most custom kernels can be flashed with cwm recovery... But make sure its a .zip file
