siyah = safe
Siyah is safe from the superbrick bug. You have other problems
Sent from Jelly Fuelled SGS2
The brick bug has two parts playing role. A hardware bug, i think intratech has tool to detect that. And a software( kernel )which allows to use of a specific command to erase data while flashing.
If those conditions are met, and you try to flash a new rom which uses that erase command ur phone becomes bricked.
Most new kernels are safe, but you should check logs and user feedback beforehand to be sure. One version of siyah had the bug but now it's removed afaik. (i have faulty chip and I'm on siyah)
By the way inverse colour is a siyah "feature". Press home 4 times

But woudnt i need siyah kernel to restore my back up incase of problems or can that be done using stock pa

If you want to keep Siyah and PA together, in CWM just flash PA then Siyah again.

my i9100 keeps turning off frequently after installing a different rom.
please help
yours phone dosnt like the rom ! change it and back to stock samsung !
or reinstall the rom and dont miss any step
which rom did u install? and please give detailed information.
Also, is it shutting down or just freezing/turning off immediately?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
This could be a rom issue or any bad app causing this behavior. Go into recovery mode and wipe data.
i installed hydrogen v10.3 rom. but it happens on a few roms like resurrection and some others.
i can have my phone anywhere and its fine one minute then when i go to unlock it its off. some times its the sd card being unmounted for some reason but usually its completely off so i have to turn it on with power button.
im using the kernel that came with the rom too
Try Omega v9, I had same issue on resurrection. Fine one second, off the next. Since I flashed omega two days ago my fone hasn't switched itself off once, no FC issues either. Give it a go, I'm really happy with it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Also use the latest siyah kernel too, makes battery life soooo much better, simply install rom base, then use CWM app in app drawer to flash kernel
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
can you send me link to latest one of them kernels then please.
thanks.
im glad im not the only one suffering with the problem.
its only some roms like i mensioned some have been cool but its always the ones that i want to use for a bit.

Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes
Download Da_G's (edit) ATT stock ROM and kernel to your PC
Flash both in Odin
Ensure your phone boots the OS completely
Turn it off after and go back into Odin mode
Flash CWM and ensure Odin reports success
Let it reboot completely
Power off
Hold all three buttons and see if you can reach CWM
Btw, what ROM did you flash in the first place and what were you running beforehand?

Not 100% sure on what Rom i was using but i tried to flash some Rom from the at&t sgs2. .. Some alien something Rom.... And flashed the virus over that.... I was trying to find the best Rom :-/ ...i know dumb idea.... But for some reason.... The roms that I tried from the sgs2 that was ported or flashed with the virus. .. Seems to operate alto more smoother than the normal note roms... I could be bugging.... But yea that's how i felt.... The noteworthy Rom was the only one that I liked but its not ready yet:-(

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
My bad dude, the ATT stock ROM from Da_G is the one u want (got the names mixed up lol).
As long as u can reach Odin, flashing Da_G's stock ROM and kernel should clear up the phone and allow CWM to be installed. Once that all works out u can continue flashing roms.
I totally recommend SauROM though, its smooth as hell.
Let me know how it goes man, hope this helps.

I've rooted my phone using rachmat3 method and thats how far i've got because only just got phone as a gift and im scared to flash a new rom incase i brick my phone.
Is it safe to use the cwm.zip to flash a rom that i used from rachmat3 root method or do i need a updated version of cwm?
Can someone recommend a fully working paranoid android rom that i can use for daily use?
Which kernel would be best to use with paranoid android rom?
Should i flash a kernel before i flash a rom?
If i install paranoid android rom would i then have a permanant cwm on my device or would i still need to use my temporery cwm.zip?
What is the chances of me bricking my phone?

Flash what ever rom u want till its for GT-I9100
No need to worry
Just read the specific rom instructions carefully
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes mate now u can flash any Rom ....Just read the instruction before flashing
I would advise you to flash a safe kernel first before doing any wipe and flashing any roms. Siyah is a safe bet.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
1. Download ROM Manager and you'll be able to flash any ROMs you wish using that.
2. All the PA versions are working fine, so just browse through and choose for yourself.
3. Asking questions like that is against forum rules because they often lead to arguments. The best advice is just to download and flash different kernels and stick with which ever one you're happy with.
4. It really doesn't matter in which order you flash them. The result is still the same. I personally always flash the ROM first, but it doesn't make a difference.
5. If you use ROM Manager, as mentioned previously, even if you have to do a full wipe when flashing a different ROM, it doesn't matter because you can simply download it again anyway. Or just save it to your SD card.
6. The changes if bricking your phone are higher if you're worried about it. Just be sure to read all instructions given about installation and follow them perfectly and you'll be fine.
If after reading about flashing ROMs you are still worried, then you're better off waiting for a bit until you've done more research into what exactly is needed.
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
Thanks for your replys.
just follow the steps mentioned and follow some video (like on youtube) and it'll be easy!
Would it be to much to ask if someone could put a link to the right paranoid android rom for my phone please

I don't recommend using ROM Manager since it can brick the phone.
Why don't flash custom kernel and use real CWMR?

Most ROM zips include kernels, so if somebody wants to stay with the same kernel, then it's necessary to flash custom kernel again.

You will need a pc if for example you flash a kernel and somethings not right.You cant get cwm, only download mode.
That happened to me when I flashed a siyah kernel.Phone was stuck and I couldnt boot into cwm.Only way to fix was boot to download mode and use odin/pc.

I can help you from here, pretty simple
Within the next 30 mins, you should be running PA.
First, flash Siyah kernel with your temporary CWM recovery. Very safe
when you are done, let me know
My missus has a i9100t that I rooted about 2 months ago. I keep getting kernel panic.
I have tried numerous combinations of roms and kernels mainly various versions of cyanogenmod, resurrection ROM and Muei with various versions of siyah and CM9 kernel. But I keep getting the kernel panic about 2 or 3 times a day.
Any advice would really help because it us getting very annoying. I also have a i9100 which I never have this issue with.

1.
-What do you mean by "kernel panic"?
- did you Black screen, sleep of death (SOD), or sudden reboots?
2. Post your ROM and kernel details, Goto Settings - About, and post everything you see.
3. If you have any additional info that may help solve your problem, please post them

1. Download Siyah kernel 4.1.5 or 3.5.2 here: www.gokhanmoral.com/
2. Boot to CWM recovery
- select kernel specific options, reset Extweaks profile
- flash Siyah kernel
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- reboot phone

Ok so it's been a day and I had 2 kernel panic events today. I don't think the issue has been resolved.
I'm wondering If using a kernel cleaner may help? I've never used one and read several posts where they recommend not to.
Any advice?
Flash stock ROM and check if the problem persists.

I have used a stock rom before and it wouldn't go into kernel panic, it would just freeze and begin heating up.
I'll try the kernel cleaner and see how it goes over a day.
Also just wanted to thank you for taking the time to help me out.

within the last 5 hours it has kernel panicked twice, so I guess it hasn't worked. I will try putting a stock ROM on to it again and see how it goes. Failing that. I'm stumped
