Hi XDA-friends,
I have the ICS 4.0.3 and will update on stock 4.0.4 XWLPX.
Should I root my phone with Siyah kernel v4.1.4 or with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPX-v5.6-CWM5 ??
Also I would like to know can I use with S2 the new Odin 3.07 or just Odin 1.85 ?
Thanks in advice
Siyah, because you will have more features.
And it doesn't matter which version of Odin will you use. Only important thing is that Odin should be for SII.
I personally use Siyah, mainly for the dual boot facility. However, as compared to other kernels like CF,dorimanx etc it is a little more power hungry. So if battery life is important to you, you might want to choose another kernel. Like the xda mantra goes, theres no best ROM/Kernel etc. try it out and see whats best for you based on what you want from it.
I would say Siyah which has more features .. And Siyah never disappointed nobody ! it's very easy to tweaks, and it run smooth !
Siyah is lot of feature...and you can dual boot jelly bean and ics..

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I will try then with siyah kernel.
But which Odin version should I use, the new Odin 3.07 or old Odin 1.85 ?
Thanks
I use the new odin for all my flash, all works without any problem !
Use odin3 1.85
Or Google
Which Odin is Compatible with SGS II
Please Hit Thanks || It won't Cost You

Do not root with cf-root! All 4.0.4 kernels have the mmc-superbrick-bug, and if you wipe from the recovery which comes with cf-root, you will get a hardbrick. Siyah is safe.

I would recommend you Siyah kernel. It is very customizable and very easy to set up with extweaks app :good:

Hey Spiralzz, you are very right! I have read about this bug too. Listen my phone details are as follows:
GT-I9100
Andriod version 4.0.4
Baseband version I9100XXLQ6
Kernel version I9100XWLPT
And I haven't done the rooting as yet. Now should I directly flash Siyah Kernel using ODIN or flash CWM recovery and then install from zip? Also which custom recovery and Siyah kernel version should I use for my phone? The Siyah kernel comes with a root right?
Thanks in advance!

2. To have a permanent CWM recovery, just flash a custom GT I9100 kernel

I used CWM.zip and SU-Busybox-Installer.zip. I don't want to flash another ROM until I get thus one backed up...I heard that CWM can back up the current ROM image.

Then just flash a custom kernel, Siyah, Dorimanx or Speedmod via the temporary CWM recovery
These kernels have permanent CWM recovery
After flashing, reboot your phone back to recovery
Perform a ROM backup in CWM recovery

Alternatively, you can flash this CWM 6.x via stock recovery, if you don't wish to flash a custom kernel: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840223

Just flash Siyah kernel 4.1.2 (download the zip format) via the temporary CWM recovery. It will give a permanent CWM recovery, and it's 100% compatible with your phone (GT I9100M).

1. You will not lose anything if you flash kernel. Flashing kernel will never delete data. Everything remains intact.
2. You will receive alerts when updates are available etc. And you can also flash them even before it becomes available for your region.
If you are still skeptical about flashing the custom kernel, and only want clockwork mod recovery, then, don't flash anything, you will be fine with a temporary CWM recovery which you already have

Yeah, you're right. Download 4.1.4.
There is no need to be updating the kernel very often, except,
- You are facing issues with the present version
-or the update is a major release

So, another newbie question: what is the point of flashing *JUST* the kernel? Is it just to get the permanent CWM and do backup/restore of my full un-rooted ROM?
I realize that once I have the new kernel I can flash any ROM I want (as long as it's compatible), but if that's all I wanted to do, I can just install a temporary CWM right?
Finally, if I install the siyah 4.1.4 (latest), will anything be broken (ie. bluetooth, camera, etc)? If so, why would I do this?

1. Custom Kernel
- to have a CWM CWM recovery.
- better backup and restore process
- More customizable options
- bugs and battery hog fixes, thus better battery life.
- optimized performance
- flashing other Roms with breeze
If you ever wish to restore your original unrooted firmware, it's better to flash it via Odin.
2.
- If you flash Siyah kernel nothing will be broken.
- If you are on ICS 4.0.3 firmware, Siyah 3.5.2, if you are on 4.0.4, then flash Siyah 4.x.x

I am on ICS 4.0.3 (i9100M) but why do I need to stick to the lower version of Siyah? Siyah 4.0.1 says, in the changelog, "supports Samsung 4.0.3/4.0.4 ".
If I wanted Siyah 4.1.4, you're saying I need to upgrade my S2 to 4.0.4 and THEN move to Siyah 4.1.4?
Thanks for your advice!!!

Don't upgrade to ICS 4.0.4!
I was saying, Siyah 3.x.x works much better than Siyah 4.x.x on ICS 4.0.3.
You can still flash 4.x.x to see for yourself, but I will advise you to have a copy of 3.5.2 incase it doesn't work that well for you.

Click to expand...

From the periphery,
1. Odexed ROM means that the System apps and frameworks ( .apks and jars) are divided into two parts the apk and Odex files, instead of one single file e.g The Odexed music player will be music.apk + music.Odex.
Music.Odex might also contain some files necessary for other apps to work. Etc
2. In Deodexed , the Odex files are already merged into their respective apks, therefore containing one single file for each app.
3. Advantage of Odexed is better RAM management
4. Advantages of deodexed are better space management, easy to MOD.
I post any better explanation (or a link) about this subject later (if I'm chanced)

Error status code 7 when flashing ROMs usually means the install script failed an assert when trying to determine if you have the correct model of phone that the ROM is intended for.
Where did you download the copy of CM10.1 from? Are you sure that it is for your model of phone? According to your signature, you have an I9100. Are you sure you didn't download CM10.1 for I9100G, for example?

This is because your likley using Philz kernel for leaked JB.
To flash other custom roms you will need to change kernel back to a previous ICS or JB kernel like Siyah.
Flash the kernel (.tar version) via ODIN/Mobile ODIN.
