Hi everybody,
I just foillowed this to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I can see superuser and CWM in the app list on my phone so i suppose it worked,
is there anything other that I need to do before i'm able to install custom roms?
I need to know this because I'm on the 4.0.4 original samsung sowtware, and i had read something about an ICS bug in the samsung kernel. So do I need to flash another kernel? (which?!)
(if i want this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846706 all i have to do is reboot in recovery and flash it?)
thx in avance

Yes, flash another custom kernel immediately.
I recommend Siyah or Speedmod
good luck

Don't flash cf-root, flash any other (ex. Siyah), if you can't found kernel for your version of ROM.

If you want to install a custom rom, the easiest way would be to first install Siyah kernel. It was already said above!

Hi.
Could someone suggest a custom kernel for getting root and cwm.
I would also appreciate a link to the stock kernel for my phone.

With this method can i then backup my stock Rom and then flash a custom Rom.
And then if i want to go back to stock Rom i would restore backup and use unroot method.
For stock firmware, go to sammobile.com. Register and then get the firmware for your country

You need root access first before you can flash a kernel via recovery (factory recovery).
I'll advise you to just flash the kernel via Odin.
However, If you still want to use the recovery option I can post a link for you.
You can always flash updates via Odin. Much faster.

I think you are misunderstanding some things.. You must first root your phone with cf-root AND THEN, you must flash the Rom with the specified kernel. But you can take a shortcut by flashing siyah kernel. You don't need to rely on baseband version.

2> get into the recovery mode and flash cm 10.1.
3> wipe and clear the cache
4> install g apps..
5> install siyah kernel via recovery (the zip.)
6> reboot...

No. Did you read the first post on the CM10.1 Thread?
You have to be running an ics stock rom and then root it.
Afterwards you can then proceed to flash CM10.1.

Hey ma8 first use the siyah kernel v4.1.5 or v5.0.1(tar file for ODIN) form PC ODIN to root ur phone, to get a wrk'ng latest CWM recovery on ur phone
then follow the install instruction given in the CM10.1 thread to install the same, the CM10.1 rom comes with its own kernel that will replace siyah after install

so you mean to say that flashing the siyah kernal will directly give me root? Or will i have to use super one click app after flashing the kernel to gain root? One more thing have you tried the method you gave?
Yes it will, no need for any super one click. Once uve flashed siyah, reboot in recovery (which will now be cwm recovery), make a nandroid before you flash anything. Would be a good idea to back up your apps using titanium backup, your sms msgs with an app like sms backup and restore etc. Then proceed to flash the rom, gapps, make wipes etc.

Hi guys !
I'm new in this section, and my Galaxy S 2 is just rooted. Otherwise it's pure Samsung Rom.
I was looking for a way to install Omega Rom, but i'm kinda lost...
I've already read many tutorials, but...
The thing that i can't understand is, should i flash a compatible kernel, and then the rom i want, or is the kernel included in rom installation ?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers !
Hey,
Look at Omega ROM thread to see if it has included Kernel.
If it has a Kernel included, go ahead and flash it directly otherwise flash siyah kernel and then Omega (providing that they're both compatible, which i am sure that they are)
Cheers.
PS. Welcome to Galaxy S2 world!
Thanks for your reply !
In Omega thread, it says :
Inside Omega v20 Jelly Bean 4.1.2:
Based on firmware XWLSD Android 4.1.2 (Date: 31/01/2013)
Kernel: PhilZ cwm6
Modem XXLS8
CSC Multi set to EUR
So, kernel PhilZ is included in the installation, right ?
But, XWLSD mean that i should switch to firmware XWLSD before flash, or it's just in indication ?

No that means omega rom is based on latest stock LSD..And yes philz kernel comes with the rom. All you need is a safe kernel like siyah or dorimanx which has a proper CWM recovery
Thank you guys ! Will try to do it ASAP !
Cheers !
Well actually Philz is also safe kernel.
But if you want to switch to Siyah kernel or whatever do that after flashing the ROM

So, can i flash Omega Rom in stock recovery, to switch directly from Samsung kernel to Philz ?
With Omega rom you will get Omega files app and you can dload there kernels and other stuff. Kernel section there is links to the philz, jeboo and siyah kernels. Just try there and use that what is best for you.

Do not flash roms in stock recovery. Specially if you are on ICS 4.0.4. You might brick your phone. If you are on ICS flash a safe kernel like siyah v5 or dorimanx kernel via ODIN. Then you can boot into recovery, do a wipe data/cache and install omega or whatever rom you want

First flash a custom kernel, and from that point you can do a full wipe and flash roms.
Thank you all for your help guys !
Cheers !
Can anyone of you point me to the right kernel here please : http://dorimanx.shine.sk/ or in PhilZ Kernel thread.
Because i'm lost, there is to many choices and i don't want to blow up my phone.. I know that it should match my rom version, but match my actual rom, or the rom that i want to flash ?
Or more simplistic, can i flash it over stock kernel ?
Cheers !
EDIT : Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V8.2-[17-35]-[05-03]-ICS-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE.zip is the right, i think... but need confirmation
