Hi everyone,
First off I apologize if this is too stupid, but I am a complete newbie at this (yes, I watched the noob video before registering).
I rooted my galaxy s2 GT-I9100 using the Odin insecure kernel --> S2 root --> Odin secure kernel method. Then i installed CWM Rom manager. However it says that I do not have CWM Recovery on the phone, I cannot flash the ROM. So I downloaded recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip and flashed it to the phone using Odin. It shows PASSED but the phone was stuck at the boot-up screen with the yellow triangle.
I tried to flash the CF-root kernel onto the phone, which many said will solve the problem, however it seems the kernel for this phone "ZSLPE" is very rare (phone purchased in Hong Kong) and I cannot find anything with this particular kernel. Also, when I connect the phone via Odin and try to flash anything, it now gets stuck at "setting up connection", so i suppose even if i find the right kernel, it cannot be loaded onto the phone. Please help! I will be eternally grateful.

Download .tar (Odin version) version of Siyah kernel here: www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
Flash the kernel via Odin.
Ps: asking questions, or even searching could have saved you all these mess because, ROOTING ICS doesn't really require flashing any kernel unlike gingerbread.

If you're on ICS you can flash siyah kernel for S2(the .tar file) and you'll get custom recovery and root at the same time. Kernel are usually universal you don't need to find the specific kernel for your rom. Only if you're using a 4.0.4 rom you have to use a 4.0.4 kernel same goes for the 4.0.3 because you're going to have bugs with the camera etc

Thanks a lot for the reply. I believe the phone was running on ICS 4.0.3. Can I still flash the Siyah kernel? Also it seems that when trying to flash anything with Odin, it gets stuck at "setting up connection" stage and does not proceed.

I exited Kies, so yes I don't think it's running. Plus Odin was able to flash the CWM recovery onto the phone right before it got stuck at the yellow sign. After that it stopped working.
Should I flash the latest version of Siyah (v4.1.4) instead of the one you suggested?
Thanks again

Thanks for all the help. The phone is now back and running. However there is now another problem. After I flashed CM10 jelly bean 4.1.1, Google Play has gone missing. The little shopping bag icon is no longer there and I cannot find it in the app list either. Any help?

Hi Guys could anyone give me a hand. early today I soft bricked my SGS2 trying to remove yellow triangle. Before that I was on SensatioN ROM 3.5 ICS by Crysis21 and Kernel Syiah 3.3.2 .
I was able to bring it back to life with help of the thread Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII
Now I am on GB 2.3.5 kernel I9100XXKI3 I have rooted it with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-42-v4.2-CWM4
My problem is I would like to go back to my 4.0.3 Sensation ROM. I cannot flash Syiah kernel and restore my backup with CWM. What can I do to achieve this.
I am hoping for your help
You have to restore your backup via cwm5, not cwm4
Do these with Odin!!!
1. Flash a stock official samsung ICS firmware (let's say XWLPG)
2. Flash latest siyah kernel (the one for odin, not cwm!!!)
then restore your backup.
thanks

Somehow you've messed up with your operating system and it needs a clean start.
Enter Recovery mode and do a Wipe / factory reset
Restart again

Thanks to everyone for keeping my SGS2 alive.
I did the ICS version of neerajganga from thread Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII and it was successful. I tried this to bring me closer to my goal... ICS 4.0.3 next I rooted it with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5 to get CWM5 and finally restored my siyah kernel with sensation rom. Its back and running.
Again Thank you to all!

Did you try flashing just the Siyah or Dorimanx kernel using Odin and get to CWM recovery? It had worked for me once. Once in CWM recovery, I flashed one of the ROMS I knew was working for me and got my phone working.

Ok before we start, I have looked and tried everything I can find so I will post what I have done after I post my issue. (I know I'm new but I've been using this site a lot lately I just never signed up)
Alright.
My S2 gt-i9100 running ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB
I can root it with cf mod, no problem and confirmed that the root is working properly.
I use CWM recovery. Every single time I've tried to flashboot a custome rom, from Res Remix to straight up cm10 to other jelly bean mods, all the "top" mods suggested in articles, though it says successful, It always, always gets stuck on the Galaxy s2 screen with the yellow triangle. It does not go black, it just stays on that screen, I've left it for as long as 2 hours and it does not do anything and does not let me back into recovery mode. (download mode yes)
I have, multiple times, re-installed stock rom, re-rooted etc...
cleared cache and davik cache, factory reset and format system (prior to flashing the custome roms and sometimes right after as some suggest)
I even tried a complete wipe of the sd card, system, then reflashed stock rom. It always works to return to stock rom and to root it, but nothing else. It seems every solution I find on this site, and many others are point to the above things I have tried all with a slight variety. I have tried many different custom roms,
I'm lost what to do next? I can't find any other information, my binary count is up to 18 now and none of it has worked.

ohh, yes the Siyah kernel, I failed to mention that i tried rooting using the siyah kernel early on and it would get stuck on the boot screen and even ICS wouldn't work. now on the other hand, this was one of my early attempts and i've tried everything else twice so I will try this option again and get back thanks
I have now tried to boot kernel Siyah 5.0.1 twice and it gets stuck on the kernel boot screen after the samsung s2 screen (the one with the yellow triangle) The screen is a ying-yang symbol with pink/purple lighting. I have left it on for 10 minutes and it stays on that screen. I have removed the battery and put it back in and now it doesn't even get past the s2 bootup screen, I left it for a couple minutes, still nothing. Reboot the phone again and now it's in Kernel Panic Upload Mode... Going back to stock rom. I'll try to find a 4.1.5 siyah kernel and try that one and see if it does anything different.

And don't forget to go in recovery mode and wipe out the dalvik memory under advanced. After wiping dalvik/clearing user data and formatting your phone, reinstall the rom of your choice (that's compatible with the phone)
you can also install siyah 6 and flash kitkat directly from recovery.
Then it would use kitkats kernel and bootup the rom
thank you guys for your replys. i will try what you suggested and get back to you
I rooted my SGS2 yesterday and today when I woke up I say the app "SuperSU" with a new icon.
I "clicked" on it and it said something about ... that it will boot into CWM and do something.
It restarted and since then my phone has been unable to boot.
The phone is using "Jeboo" kernel.
Any ideas about how to fix this? Flashing a new kernel?
I am able to get into download mode, but not CWM.

Exactly the same thing (word by word) just happen to me! have you found a solution?
Flash stock firmware with Odin. About all you can do as phone wont boot into cwm
boot recovery
After flash stock firmware with Odin everything go back to normal.
Installed SuperSu again but when it ask for update the binarys choose the NORMAL option not the CWM one
Are you looking for root? What firmware are you on now?
[Solved]
I am unable to flash any roms through cwm, and can only do it through odin. Flashing through cwm results in the phone not loading past the boot logo.
I formatted sd card in cwm, thinking it would only restore to factory settings, not knowing it would completely wipe everything.
From then i was unable to even see the boot logo or recovery mode, but luckily download mode still worked.
So i flashed the stock rom through odin, but it still plays up. Now the battery doesn't last more than 1 day, and constantly freezes.
Now whenever i install anything in cwm, as soon as i reboot, it goes to the bootscreen and freezes. I have tried at least 5 different roms and the same story each time, So each time i have to reflash stock rom with odin.
So any ideas to why this is? any help is appreciated. I have tried ultimate kernel wipe cleaner , or whatever it is called as well.
[Solved]
I just reflashed stock ICS in odin, and ticked the 're-partition' box. the repartition file is called " u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit ". Now it works good as new and I'm currently running PACman rom on 4.3. gg guys.
Just to check, but you have factory reset after flashing the new ROM from CWM right?
Try these steps :
1. Flash ROMNuke script by hawkerpaul. (it's a ROM nuke, not just a kernel nuke)
2. Flash ROM in CWM.
3. Boot.
I know it sounds simple, but that's got me out of a few odd bootloop /failed flash situations. Give it a go.
Then, if that doesn't work, re-download the ROM which you're attempting to flash & try again.
One more thing, what kernel are you trying to flash the ROM from in CWM? Try a different one, say siyah. I've sometimes seen where a particular kernel won't flash but another will for no apparent reason.

it was stock ics cwm i think?, also another thing when I install a new rom, when it shows the progress bar, it goes up to 3 quarters then it skips the rest and says update completed (I just tried Romnuke and same story). I have also tried siyah kernel and it just freezes at the siyah kernel instead. Im currently stuck on stock ICS 4.0.2
Not sure what you mean by 'stock ICS CWM'?
And just to make sure, you definitely have an i9100 right? Not a variant, i9100g etc? Just asking as 4.0.2 was never released for i9100, only 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (stay away from that one)
So now, re-download the ROM which you're attempting to flash, and try again after the ROMNuke script. Does the script run successfully? Or does it have errors /messages which indicate it didn't run successfully?

All good. And also good that you have an i9100.
Ok, so have you tried the things I said?
1. Try flashing from a different kernel (your choice, try one other than Siyah)
2. Re-download the ROM & reflash with Nuke script then ROM.
[Solved]
5 months later I found the answer when messing with odin. What you do is tick the 're-partition' box, and then in the 'pit' sections you need the partition file i guess, for the i9100 its called u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit . hope this helps anyone else who may have this problem
