1.Knight-Elf's kernel- try experimental lite v10.1(overclocked upto 1.8 Ghz)
Download it from below link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21896062&postcount=1
2.Flash the Kernel in FastBoot and reboot into CWM Recovery.
Then follow the below Steps
*make sure you've the downloaded rom on your sd card
*always do a full CWM backup of your current rom
*reboot into recovery
*wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache & wipe battery stats
*mount & storage > mount data & system (it will change from "mount /data" to "unmount /data")
*format cache, data & system
*install custom zip > choose the main rom
*reboot into phone, skip setup (next, next & next)
*reboot the phone again
*for neo user only: flash the patch in -=codename_ei8ht_final=- folder
*hit the 'thanks' button

Do a clean wipe on everything ie factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik/wipe everything than flash the ron. In your case cm7 than go to advanced in clockworkmod select reboot recovery than flash gapps then after all is done boot into recovery and flash Franco's kernel. I recommend wiping everything besides factory reset than reboot. Look at sweetnsours signature he uses 6.6.1 with the .35 family tree kernel. Anymore questions just PM me

here i am with my signature
Thanks now i am not confuse!!
I am preparing to flash mik's 6.6.1 (CM7.1-RC1) - GB 2.3.5 from Froyo.
Please clarify whether it is necessary/must to format the SD card in Clockworkmod Recovery according with the steps stated in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038338&page=6, i.e.:
Boot into clockwork recovery.
go to backup and restore -create a backup of your current rom (Note:If already backup has been done then avoid this step, backup created using amonra or thunderg wont support restoring using clockwork)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
mount and storage-format system
go to mount and storage-format sd card
advanced-partition sd card-choose 512 mb (preferable)or 1024 mb (it automatically creates ext 4 partition, class 6/4 is preferred)
mount and storage-mount usb storage (make sure usb debugging is enabled)
copy the rom zip file to the root of your sd card
unmount
install zip from sd card-choose the rom zip and install
flashing takes 3-5 min
reboot
Please note that I had already re-arrange my SD-card partition (1GB is assigned for EXT4, and the rest is FAT32) by MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. As far as I understand wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache have already deleted everything in the phone and SD-card (even whatever stores in FAT32 partition.
Many thanks!!!
Hi Guys i have a few question on Flashing. I have been reading a lot from this site but i still have a few doubts before i can flash without question.
I own a I9100G and i flashed supermatos kernel using Odian as a result i got CWM, using recovery mode of this cwm i installed super Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374135) (zip) from sd card.
My questions
1)If now i wnt to go back to a completely stock ROM do i need to use Odian only or i can use CWM?
2)Flashing custom ROM using CWM do i always need to wipe data/factory reset and in mount & storage always select format /system partision?
3)Once during flashing I did make a backup using CWM and wanted to flash a new Custom ROM so i wipe data/factory reset and also chose format/system partision and when i went to chose the zip from sd card to my surprise neither was the zip there nor was my previous backup. why did this happen?
I knw they are a lot of noob questions but i need to clear them to flash more comfortably

ODIN
2)Flashing custom ROM using CWM do i always need to wipe data/factory reset and in mount & storage always select format /system partision?
No just follow the roms instructions
3)Once during flashing I did make a backup using CWM and wanted to flash a new Custom ROM so i wipe data/factory reset and also chose format/system partision and when i went to chose the zip from sd card to my surprise neither was the zip there nor was my previous backup. why did this happen?
You formatted the sd card .
You can always copy the clockwork mod folder to your external sd card or PC .

Thanks a lot for the answers. i just have one last doubt in what cases do we
1) wipe data factory reset
2)wipe cache partition
3)mount storage partision ( in this the formating option)
I read in a few threads tat we need to wipe data/factory reset for complete instalation of Custom ROM is this true?

i already have 4.1.B.0.587 from official upgrade i've made few days ago. Will that be ok?
if yes, should i just:
1. install cwm recovery on my xperia (with locked bootloader)
2. place
Xperia_Ice_Cream_Pureness_build_13.00.zip
neov_patch_pureness_b13.zip
on my sd card
3. go into recovery and there, from the menu, i'll be able to?
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik catche
- Format /system (in mounts and storage)
- Format /cache
- Format /Data
4. then install rom from sd card
5. also install patch
is that it?
thank you for any help!

Hi there.
I have an S2 (GT-I9100) running a rooted stock 2.3.5 (!) firmware.
I have Clockwork mod 4.0.0.2 installed.
Can I just download a regular intl release and have it installed by following the simple instructions on the main thread or am I missing anything?
Would it be a matter of simply restoring my backup if I screw up?
Thanks.
Make a nandroid backup with ur CWM.
Recovery mode > backup and restore > create backup (choose if internal sd or to external)
Now u have a backup u anyway (if phone boots ) can restore if something happens.
- For flashing load the CM files + newest gapps to sd card
- Than backup all apps u need
- go to recovery and do a full wipe (!)
* wipe data / factory reset
* wipe cache
* advanced > wipe dalvik cache
* mount and storage > format data/system/cache
- flash the Rom (CM)
- flash gapps
- Reboot
That's it!
PS: if u want to go back just go to recovery mode and go to backup and restore > restore (choose where u backup data)

Make sure you run the latest CWM before flashing 10.1 or you might encounter some issues.
Thanks all.
So CWM 4.0.0.2 will not be good enough?
Is there an easy way to upgrade cwm to the latest textual version? (4.0.1.5 if I am not mistaken). Do I have to go through the "guess which image/kernel to put" all over again?
Thanks again.
Hi everybody ,
I need your help to install Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 on my s2 i9100 , now i'm on ics 4.0.3 official .
Read the install instructions on the first page of the thread, follow the instructions. It's not exactly rocket surgery.

The method for rooting and flashing CWM
1) Download Odin (http://androidfirmwares.net/Tools)
2) Download root kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1103399)
-- just scroll down and search for ur version (settings>about phone>basis version)
3) Flash it via Odin
-- Extract .zip
-- load the root kernel in Odin (as PDA)
-- Put SGSII in download mode (Vol-, Home and Powerbutton)
-- Press "Start"
4) Phone should reboot by itself
5) Turn it off, then start phone in recovery mode (Vol+, Home and Powerbutton)
6) Check if u have enough space for backup on sd card (to be sure: 2GB)
7) Go to:
-- Backup and restore
-- Backup to internal sd card (for sure u can choose external if have and want it there)
-- confirm it and then let do the phone the backup (can take a while [5-20 min])
method to flash rom
1) Download Rom
2) Put it on internal sd card
3) Go into recovery mode (see above)
4) DO A FULL WIPE!! (U won't loose ur backup on sd card [but u can copy it to PC, too, if u want])
-- wipe data/ factory reset
-- wipe cahe partition
-- advanced > wipe dalvik cache
-- mount and storage > format data/system/cache
5) Then flash Rom via recovery
-- install .zip from sd card > choose .zip from sd card
-- Select the downloaded Custom Rom and flash it
6) Reboot and u r done!
hope this helps
