Hi guys
Just wondering if someone tell/show me if it's possible to flash Siyah kernel to my sgs3 Gt I9300 running paranoid android v2.13?
I only just got an android phone so I'm a huge noob who's only ever had I phones lol
I downloaded Siyah 1.6a 9 l17 and tried flashing that from cwmr by installing zip from sd card which said was successful but when I go to about phone it doesn't show its been flashed? Any ideas what's wrong (apart from me being a noob!)

How do you know it has not flashed.. It is a hacked stock kernel so will not say siyah in the kernel name..
Check if you have stweaks.. If yes then it had worked.. Use it to tweak the kernel

Which version Siyah, and which version VK?
Perhaps you were trying to install an S3 version of Siyah? Or an ICS version of Siyah to a Gingerbread version of VK? Or a GB version of Siyah to an ICS version of VK?
Can't answer the question without knowing versions. (or filenames of what you downloaded)

This is going to sound like a dumb question, but did you by chance download the Odin file and try to install that in CWM, instead of downloading the CWM file?

Hi,
I know this is a very basic question. But, it would be great if someone can answere this for me. I see a change log on Siyah Kernel 4.0.1 that reads like this "No Cap_Erase, No hardbrick". Does this mean ICS 4.0.4 is safe to use if I have Siyah Kernel 4.0.1 or above ? I think after reading a lot of hardbrick cases on XDA .. What I understood was most of the cases were because of the kernel that is being used rather than the firmware ... am I right on this ?
Thanks.
Every version of Siyah above 3.5.2 are safe.

I believe you are right. He only had one that was bad, but that was a long time ago. You just need to be aware of the version you download (only the s2 one) and if they are compatible with the version of android you're running (ICS/JB)

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum.
Currently I'm using my SGS II with ICS Stock (4.0.4) upgraded through Samsung Kies (hope it clears that I've stock ROM).
My Baseband version : I9100DDLPB
Kernel Version : 3.0.15-1056084 [email protected] #3 SMP PREEMPT
Build Number : IMM76D.XWLPW
I've recently rooted my phone to flash the custom ROM.
But today i checked some posts from this forum that, flashing a SGS II running on Stock 4.0.4 may brick the handset here.
I read the complete post and got very much disappointed that I couldn't flash any custom ROM from my Stock ROM, but lastly I looked over the firmwares which have these emmc bug and found that my device is not in the list.
So with this information can anybody tell me whether I can go for flash the custom ROM ? or do I need to flash a new Kernel ? :angel:
Thanks,
Hereticnine.
If it's not listed as an 'insane chip' (affected by the emmc bug then it should be safe to wipe. But if you're gonna be flashing a custom ROM eventually,you may as well flash a custom kernel now itself. Just to be completely safe, ya know?

install eMMC Check from Play Store, and see whether you have a faulty chip
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
My Bad !!!!
Just now checked with an app available on Google Play, eMMC Brickbug Check and got the result as "Insane Chip".
Also tried with Got Brick bug found in this forum. It also said the same like DANGER !!! :crying: :crying:
So I think, customization is over for me !!!! I should stay out from flashing ROMs.
And HAXTREME, Thanks for the reply.
Thanks,
Hereticnine.
Flash a safe kernel which has MMC_CAP_DISABLED (e.g. siyah kernel) on your rom with odin. You will get yellow triangle but you can remove it later with triangle away if you want to
From that point on you can flash any custom rom you want or or do a wipe from cwm...
Key is making sure you're running a safe kernel all the time, then you should have no problems, as long as you flash roms which are compatible with I9100 international version

So, there wouldn't be any problem if I flash with siyah kernel, Am I correct ? Or should I wait for some update from Samsung on fixing this bug.

Correct.
I would not wait for Samsung fixing anything in regards of this matter. The community has brought this huge issue to their attention long time ago and nontheless they released / keep releasing (?) dangerous updates to their customers!
Elite Recognized Developer "Entropy512" has written a very interesting (and long!) story of his experiences with Samsung:

No problems flashing siyah because emmc bug is disabled.
AS to an update from Samsung I do not believe there will be one as they are releasing Jellybean by the endof the year,
JB uses a totally different file structure.

Thank you All for your replies.
I've downloaded the latest Siyah Kernel, I'll try to flash it and hope it goes without any issues.
Please tell me if I need to take care of anything else while flashing Siyah Kernel.
I did the nandroid backup & took all other back ups using Titanium.
Hope it suffices for flashing.
Thank you.

Well, about the brick bug, I just know there's a app to detect the chip and unfortunately my phone has the insane chip. but if I'm not mistaken I've been wiped my phone several times with 4.0.4 stock kernel before yet it's still safe till now, it's the checker or I'm just being lucky? but nevermind there's leaked 4.1.2 now haha..

AFAIK the brick bug is non-deterministic. So you could wipe data several times without a problem n suddenly one time you try it n your phone is a rather expensive paperweight. If your phone indeed has an 'insane chip' count yourself lucky and don't risk it too often.

BTW, how can I check / ensure that I'm free from Brickbug now ??

you will never be totally free of the brick bug, since it is embedded in the kernal. Developers of Philz, Dorimanx and others have edit the code that cause the brick bug to disable it.
When flashing avoid using any stock kernal from 4.0.4 and above to avoid the embedded brick bug software.

If you are using the Kernel from this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708763
then I suggest you should use another one, like Perseus or Siyah. The Franco Kernel for I9300 is outdated and doesn`t contain the Sudden Death Fix because the developer stopped supporting the Kernel for the I9300.

Then try to wipe Cache and if that doesn`t help, you can try a factory reset but I would backup all your apps + data, so that you can restore them afterwards. And if that doesn`t help just flash another ROM. There are plenty good ones to choose from here on XDA, that are based on the newest Samsung Firmware base.
BTW the XXELLB base is not the newest one.
