Hello to all!
I have a question that has been asked before -BUT the answers given have made me more confussed than ever !!
My problem is - I have a Galaxy s2 - i1900 since Jan that came with Ginger 2.3 ?? and kernel kk14 I thnk! not 100% sure. I'm sure have a backup on pc,I think!
I did the Root idea from Galaxy2s-Root .com. which said to use odin to flash unsecured kernel think it was kk14..(but not 100% sure) can check which kernel if really need to know ??
Anyway did this and all fine! so I did the Res Remix v1.0 pro ROM too! all worked well!
BUT when it came to other day! I wanted to update ROM to Res Remix 2.6 or 3.0 ... The menu was Blue - But not just that is had choices missing and Im sure I had the orange CWM still on there! as I made a back-up the first time i did back-up or original ROM!
But when i went to CWM it says This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled. Bellow are the choices it shows
Andriod System recovery <3e>
Reboot system now
Apply update from external storage
Wipe cache partion
Apply update from cache
Test redbend fold (FS)
As you can see in - recovery there are no menus showing to update from ZIP / OR ? the Back-up or Recover
MY current phone info is - See pic1
This is the message where I get from CWM - See Pic 2
My Rot Manager results - See Pic 3
I was told I'm not Rooted properly.So try Root Manager, Results in ttached pic 3. Some1 else said just update a new ROM - BUT HOW - I got no Update from ZIP also the same for doing new kernel...
Can some1 just please tell me in a steep by steep way to solve this! REALLY want to try new ROM etc.. and would be happy to return any favour I can !!

Hi, recently bought an Samsung Fascinate for Telus so i could enjoy yet again more Android powerfullness! ( Had an HD7 before and i didn't really liked it )
So i started hacking my way trough this phone (wich is far more complicated than my previous HTC Desire or Motorola Milestone) and i got to the point in wich i have the WeUI Rom installed! Woohoo!
Except, i'd like to try a AOKP Rom (Kang's for example) but in every topic they talk about CWM Recovery fixed for CM7 (wich i have already downloader and tried to install MANY MANY times)
Here's what i was doing in order to get that CWM Recovery :
1. Get back to Stock Froyo using Odin files.
2. Update to 2.3.3 Using Samsung Kies
3. Now Flash CWM Recovery Fixed for CM7.
4. Odin Crashed and Failed at Recovery.Bin now in boot loop...(HELPP!!!))
.... Kidding made myself a JIG with some tutorials in here so i wont have to buy one
note : i also tried starting from STOCK 2.3 to Speedmod kernel recovery and Flash the recovery trough the recovery but it just... doesnt do anything?
1.Redo 1 to 2....
2. Get up with Glitchy Kernel with WeUI and it works...
3. But i'd really like to get those AOKP wich seems to be way more battery efficient!
Now i was wondering if that was the real method in order to do this or if there was a special order for TELUS user as i'm aware that there's some tiny things that are different.
Thanks in advance for your help and before you ask me if i read those tutorials yes i did.. as a proof

make sure anyfiles you use are specifically for telus or you will brick the device.

Try from recovery mode using cwm.zip and put the new rom in the sd card. Delete first data, cache, dalvik cache and such luke guides say.

dude!!
you tried to install CM7 on ICS!! Don't think this is possible... (e.g. your current predicament)
you should try CM9, custom ICS -=or=- MIUI v4 etc.
I'm currently using CM7 ^^ just installed today - forgot how smooth it is... still it's not MIUI - but it's good for a holiday
same was the case with Resurrection ICS ROM v2.0.it didnt work either.will do anything to make it work.let me try this .will tell u then.thanx a lot sir

I don't know if that is the problem, because cm7 should work with ics, at least there are videos on youtube.
even i think so that the problem is something else...most probably mismatching...still i am gng to try it
THANX
bravo...i was able to do it finally.first via triangle away i was able to reset counter and then installed cm9.thanx a lot frnds
Hi
I was following instructions to flash the Criskelo v7 rom on my Galaxy Note N7000
First time with Android rooting ...... it told me to flash Abyss Kernel and after this do a wipe . Abyss did not load right and i did wipe
OK .... this is my first android and first time on rooting.............. i made a mess i guess
Now the phone does not go back to CWM recovery and can only go into download mode . I have downloaded ODIN 1.85
Also before doing all this i have created a Nandroid back up with the help of CWM
is there some way to recover my phone ?
Thanx

You would have been better posting in the QandA for the Note, but if you can get into download mode just flash a stock rom and start again

i got Galaxy s2 i9100G OS ics 4.0.3
i wanted to put jb rom on it Revolt one or whatever is good and stable now
so here what i know so far and should do

and to do that i must Download Odin then put my device in download mode and flash clockwork v 6.0.2.1 or something
then reboot my device
and put it on clock work mode then flash rom i want
is what i said correct ? or am i missing on anything and is just flashing clock work v 6 is equal to meaning of rooting my device ?

all it says if you coming from stock
just flash clockwork via odin when your device in download mode , reboot
then open clockwork recoverymode
then flash the rom after you put it on your internal card reboot
and ofc in middle the wipe data and resetting factory settings stuff
but i read many things about rooting n here n there made my confused
for example this topic

That's funny, because no where on post 1 of Revolt ROM is ClockworkMod mentioned. But you mention it twice.

I guess post 1 of Revolt ROM DOES link to this guide to root an I9100G, which DOES mention ClockworkMod. However, this also contains very clear and concise instructions.

If coming from a Samsung Stock ROM:
1-Read this article on How to root your Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G (Link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679778
2-Wipe Data
3-Wipe Cache
4-Wipe Dalvik-Cache
5-Format /system
6-Flash ROM
7-Wipe Cache / Dalvik-Cache
8-Enjoy ReVolt ROM !!
that's whats said .. and what confusing me is not all steps is 1st one which is rooting .
in some videos it doesnt in clude to talk about root.zip
and other guides doesnt say anything about it , is that normal ?
you can alway watch a youtube rooting ics vid while keeping xda on another tab.
sometimes it is better to graphic something that you read.
let us know if you pull it off.

There are literally dozens of ways to root your device. It's pretty simple, dude. Follow one set of directions. Don't worry about other directions that are not the same. Hell, the guide linked in the first post of Revolt ROM has three options just in that one post.
I think you're getting confused because nothing explains where the root access is gained.
It is contained within the custom kernel which also gives you clockworkmod. Cwm is a custom recovery that has many more features than stock.

dont forget to nand backup (from cwm) before you flash new rom
hi guys,
i have a samsung galaxy s2 (GT-i9100 - NFC), which i got from orange end of 2011. I the in jan 2012 got help from this forum to root my phone and change the rom from the original to:-
Rom & Build No: VillianROM 3.0
And' ver: 2.3.5
Baseband: i9100XXki1
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5+ninpo @ titan #20
Although the phone works okay, i'm beginning to notice a lot of slowdowns and regular reboots, so i want to go back to whatever latest google android OS the S2 can handle (rooted). I've forgotten what to do and would be most grateful if someone could please help me with the following:-
1. Whats the best software/method to backup everything?
2. What is the latest rom (original, but should not have a provider's bloatware) i can use on the S2?
3. Once backed up, how do i change from VillianRom to the latest/best OS currently available?
4. How can i root the original rom?
Thanks once again
Check

I think it ll help you and save you time

For official stock rom, check
www.sammobile.com
And search latest stock rom for your region.
If you like custom rom, then there are so many roms on xda. I like omega and alliance roms. Choice varies from person to person

1. Depends. You can do a backup in CWM to image your device or you can use Titanium Backup Pro to just backup your apps/appdata and restore to new rom.
2. http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ < Check your device/model here.
3. Well just so you're clear, There is no "best" its subjective. Also "latest" depends on what type of rom you want to flash like Sammy/AOSP/AOKP/CM/MIUI etc. To flash latest samsung do it via ODIN, to flash any other do it via CWM. All info you need is already on forum.
4. By flashing custom kernel via ODIN.
All your questions have already been answered countless times.
Thanks very much guys. I simply want a fast lean rom as some seem to be slow running.
Doesn't get better than this.
sendign the phone for warranty?
you will need to flash back the original rom and unroot your phone.
if they found your phone is rooted the warranty void, experience it before so be aware of this.
Let me thank you guys for advicing me. I am most grateful. I read your posts a bit late and in the meantime, I think i have bricked my phone as i've flashed Samsung's original FW (I9100PBVLP8_I9100PORALP8_ORA) from sammobile.com. I used Odin v3 and successfully flashed the phone, but it's simply stuck on the boot logo. I have even done the following:-
I've managed to wipe the cache partition, but the recovery menu has No advanced options. It says:-
ANDROID SYSTEM RECOVERY <3a>
reboot system now
apply update from ext' storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
test redband fota[FS]
But i still cannot get it to boot. I have also tried to use an old nandroid.md5 backup i made, but odin reports the file as invalid.
I'm desperate guys, please could someone help me.
Download Mode and re flash.
Are you sure you are flashing the right ROM right? Check under the battery to see the Device Model.
If it's i9100, then make sure you are downloading a i9100 ROM.
Thanks very much for your advice gastonw - i have managed to fix the problem now by going into system recovery and doing a factory reset, so thank you.
Although everything seems to be working fine, i would have preferred a more newer 4.2 jelly bean rather than 4.0.3. Oh well beggars can't be choosers and all that, lol! I guess i'll have to re-root it again.
gastonw mate ur a star! I've installed the latest JB rom u posted earlier and i'm very happy with it.
Now before i damage it beyond repair, how do i root it safely?

Hi You could try this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 its quite safe so ether should work or wont, if don't no harm done as it doesn't need a insecure kernel.
I'm quite new myself @ this so plz use caution when trying it out.

Good to know man, enjoy it
About root, I've seen a couple of methods laying around the threads, I'm sure they're safe.
I still think that ExynosAbuse app is the fastest way to Root now (one-click).
Here's a vid. I never tried it tho.
Thanks very much for the links AnubuRe and Gastonw.
Gastonw mate, i have been playing with the rom you posted a link to. Don't get me wrong, it's great and very fast, but the downside is that it doesn't have a huge number of options to tweak etc. Now someone mentioned a rom called Neatrom, but i'm wondering what you can recommend? I don't want a bloated rom...i want a fast rom, but with some options to allow me more greater control over the phone.
Also, i know this is a bit off-topic, but can you recommend me a widget app, where i can quickly dial phone numbers i.e. by touching a person's photo?
