You can use it BUT it's better and safer to use CWM recovery.
Download the .zip version of Speedmod kernel
Follow these steps:
- Download ultimate kernel cleaning script from here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363738
- reboot to CWM recovery
- flash ultimate kernel cleaning script
- flash Speedmod kernel
- reboot your phone

[Q] Flashing speedmode Kernel on a rooted phone with CM7

Hey, I have just flashed my phone with the ""speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-10-Odin.tar" Kernel using Odin, Every thing went well.
After Odin reset the phone I can see the galaxy s2 logo on start up but after that the phone goes black.
I can go into download mode but I heard good things about speedmode and i want to try it.
so does speedmode incompatible with cm7 ?
do I have to go back to the CM7 Kernel (ATINM)?
No, speedmod is not compatible with CM7.
Try entering recovery mode and reflash cm7 to fix the issue

You are in the wrong forum, and you are hijacking a thread for an off-topic post.
Please try again in the Galaxy Note forum.
And if you try to flash a kernel meant for a GT-I9100 to your GT-N7000, you will NOT like the result.

Can I upload from 4.0.3 (with cf-root) to 4.04?

Hi.
I have on my Galaxy S2 the stock ICS 4.0.3 (XWLP7) with CF-root kernel 5.4. I would like now to upload the phone with ICS 4.0.4 (XWLPU). Can I do it now like always with Odin or should I do first something else with my phone (wipe etc.)?
Thanks in advice
You can do it either way, I prefer doing it via CWM recovery.
To avoid BrickBug flash latest Siyah Kernel first (v4.1.2) before you do any wipe operations.
Then do a full wipe and flash desired rom.

I agree but personally would format system as well prior to flashing.

dwnld the 4.0.4 firmware and flash the same using ODIN since ur upgrading from a stock rom to another one it will not be an issue, but after flashing 4.0.4 u have to re-root your phone, since stock XWLPU 4.0.4 will automatically unroot ur phone

You can just upgrade using Odin, no problem.
Note:
-once you upgrade to 4.0.4, then say goodbye to CF-ROOT kernel.
-Just flash a custom kernel like Siyah, speedmod, Dorimanx, Dream at once.
Why?
-Because stock ICS 4.0.4 kernel has a brick bug enabled on it.
-This bug is also present on all kernels based on stock 4.0.4 kernel. CF-ROOT and all insecure kernels fall into this category
What will happen?
-If after rooting your phone after upgrading to 4.0.4, and you wipe your phone or try ROM backup while running stock/stock based kernels then say goodbye to your phone.

Hi. Thanks for your answear. But I would like to know how should I do it, step by step. I have download it the Sizah kernel 4.12.
1. enter the CWM recovery mode and install the Siyah kernel (install ZIP from external card)
2. reboot the phone or?
3. enter CWM recovery mode again: hold down the volume up button,home button and power button.
4. in CWM recovery I have to choose the wipe data/factory reset
5. after wipe phone reboot
6. enter the Download mode and install the new ROM with Odin
Why should I install the siyah kernel? I still have the cf-root kernel (my phone is rooted).
After upload the new ICS 4.0.4 if I wanna root my phone, I should make the root with Siyah kernel via Odin or? Do you think the Siah kernel is better from CF-root kernel?
Thanks
I thought the brick bug has been taken care of in the latest CF kernels

that was not because of cf-root kernel's ma8 since they r tweaked stock kernel's with EMMC_cap (Brick Bug) removed , hence there would be no problem, as i have used one two days back to root a friends phone which was on stock 4.0.4 LPT firmware without any issues
the brick might be caused by the wrong CF-root being choosen like the one's marked with * that people might have dwnld'd without properly reading why it has been * rd.

after upgrading to 4.0.4, simply flash the .tar file of siyah kernel v4.1.2 ( not the .zip file) from odin, it will root ur stock 4.0.4 rom for u and install the latest CWM recovery for u

OK friend.
So you think is better that I update from rooted ICS 4.0.3 to ICS 4.0.4 with Odin without CWM recovery. It sounds good to me.
After update I should install the new Siyah kernel via Odin too. And then I can do the factory reset or?

I had the same feelings two until yesterday,
Two different guys, running Wanamlite LPU ICS 4.0.4 ROM with CF-ROOT kernel (the Rom's default kernel), hardbricked their phones after wiping data in recovery while trying to flash another ROM.

The CWM recovery I can install just over ROM Manager or? And tell me please can I do factory reset after install of the new Siyah kernel?

1. Stay away from ROM manager, CWM recovery is already bundled with Siyah kernel
2. You can safely do factory reset with Siyah.

[Q] Kernel help needed

Hi all,
I stupidly started messing around with flashing kernels onto my SGS2-P, and then found out about this emmc bug.
My device is one of those affected, and I want to go back to my official kernel, mainly because of the emmc worry and
also the G-sensor for orientation doesn't work anymore.
The kernel I flashed was 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023.
Does anyone have the official 3.0.15-I9100PXXLPH-CL378510 [email protected] #3 kernel? I have searched the forums but only found a ROM and not sure how to extract just that kernel to flash it.
Please please anyone, if you can help I'd be very appreciative.

I'm just really worried about bricking my phone. Otherwise I'd be flashing away like my last device.
Siyah kernel.... Safe or dodgy?
Also, are kernels and ROMs separated for these phones or are they bundled together?
Maybe this should be something to ask on those topics sorry

Siyah kernel is a stable kernel and is one of the most popular kernels for our S2.. so it is completely safe to flash Siyah with CWM/Odin considering that you follow all the necessary steps to get it done correctly , here's how http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-hacks/how-to-installflash-a-new-kernel-on-galaxy-s2-i9100/
here's the list of Siyah kernels http://gokhanmoral.com/

No v5.0.1 are used for roms with new mali drivers i believe.(someone correct me if it works for stock roms) You can use v4.1.5. Although its safer to flash ICS 4.0.3.

Yea, its pretty much safe to use this Kernel with Samsung Stock ROM 4.0.4 to get rid of brickbug. I've tried it and its working fine.
Now I'm going to try one of those custom ROMs available here
as I can't wait anymore for Samsung to provide me the latest Jelly Bean ROM.
Go ahead with flashing Siyan v5.01, its safe.

another thing-->it feels that my battery is draining a bit faster thn before.
i would seggest that update ur kernel only and only if u want to run cynogenmod10 JB on it, otherwise leave fone with siyah v4.1.5!
I want to do the same on SGS2
Presently running 4.0.3
I intend to use Philz temporary CWM recovery to flash the Siyah 5.0.1 and CM 10.1

Samsung Brick Bug Questions?

Hello there im posting on part of my friend as he has recently required an S2 and has rooted it by using Odin and flashing SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1s kernal
He then wanted to flash Cyanogenmod and used a guide from youtube, to install Helly Bean CM10 base rom
He has CWM recovery but is scared as he has the baseband version : XXLQ6
When he got the phone it was completely stock and was updated through Samsung keis to stock
but in this warning it says: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242 that his baseband is affected with this brick bug
So how would he flash official CM10 Nightly to his phone..?

You/he CAN flash any custom rom. The brickbug-danger is only present (not in any case) when you're running stock kernel (4.0.4). You say he already rooted his phone and is running Siyah kernel, so no need to worry for bricking it because of this kernel issue.
