I think you can use mobile ODIN and flash a new firmware there.

Thanks was hoping there was a simpler way as he only just managed to flash a rom. Is it possible to flash a stock kernel through siyah.
Thanks

23732 is right. But to make it more precise - open your stock TAR rom file in mobile odin (all partitons in the app will be filled in). Then clear all of them but kernel. Then flash only the kernel partition. No need to flash anything more to come back to stock kernel.

flashed stock kernal on miui

i followed the instructions on removing the yellow trangle on boot up, forgetting i had recently flashed miui. So yes i made the dumb decision of flashing the stock kernal through mobile odin on miui. any fix? i already tried flashing stock through odin... yes it will enter recovery and download mode.
When you say recovery do you mean stock recovery or cwm? You should be able to just flash miui again in recovery. Or you can just Odin(or flash in recovery) the siyah kernel and you should be good to go

Can you get back to MIUI? If so then just flash a new kernel in Mobile Odin.
Or go into download and use Odin on the PC and do it from there

Ok, I put a warning that would happen after you remove the triangle...
Can you get into MIUI?
Try flashing siyah.tar in odin.

1. note the current version of your rom
2. goto chainfire cf root thread in "original android development page"
3. download the matching cf root version
4. flash it via cwm

How do I backup that???
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
First time i flashed i tried CF-Root kernel but no go, then i tried Siyah kernel, just flash via odin and then i got root and CW Recovery
The latest stable siyah kernel should work fine (they run fine on all stock SGS2 roms as far as i know)

But I've read it could possibly brick the phone harder than a boot loop?

If you put the wrong one, it could.
Settings> About Phone> Baseband Version> check the last 3 letters, and I believe yours is LPQ so get CF-Root for LPQ and you should be good. After flashing that with Odin, you should have CWM and root.
Use the efs app to make a backup.

I'm still a little confused on how root my phone.. do I just flash the rooted kernel by chainfire via Odin?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Download the correct file from Chainfire. Unzip it once. Dont unzip it twice. Your looking for the file to end in .tar. Make sure Kies is not running. start Odin as administrater, connect the phone to the pc through USB. ID:COM should show up yellow. Click on PDA. Load the .tar file.
Make sure Re-Partition is NOT TICKED. Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time SHOULD BE TICKED. Press start. DO NOT REMOVE THE USB CABLE till you have a green pass,as this will result in a bricked phone..
How big are my chances to get my phone bricked by using triangleAway??

Where can I get a cwm flasherble XXWLPG rom WITH OUT Jkay?

Hi all,
I don't have time at the moment to flash a stock rom with Odin at the moment, so i was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a XXWLPG rom without Jkay?
I want to try out this s3 lock screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742397
But I have to have either a LPG or LPM rom without Jkay to use it.
Does anyone know where I can get a cwm flasherble one from?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Why don't you use Mobile Odin app (=> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899) to flash the stock ROM as tar file?
You only need to be rooted, then install Mobile Odin app and flash the stock ROM ... on device flashing.
If you are already on ICS, should work fine.
Have done this from stock XWLPD ROM to XWLPG and XWLPM.
I can also confirm that mobile odin is easy to use and works well, I've never had a problem with it. Perfect for flashing official ROMs in tar format.

Ok thanks heaps
I will do that.
I didn't want to use it before, as I was not sure how safe it was, but I will give it a try. Thanks

[Q] Boot screen and then turns off

Hi, I've been trying to update my Gingerbread I900 for a whole day now, but it's have been full with problems.
It all started when I tried to flash a CWM recovery for JB with Odin, that it made it so each time I tried to turn it on, the boot screen appeared, and then it turned off again, along with a triangle warning sign.
Now, I've tried everything I've found on the web, which caused a bootloop, which I solved by flashing Siyah kernel, but now I'm back at square one, where the bootscreen appears, and then it turns off.
Can anyone give me a hand?
Flash stock firmware with Odin to upgrade/fix. Or do you want custom rom?

I was thinking on using CyanogenMod 11, but at this point, I just want the phone to work, regardless of rom.
If I was you I would want custom stock rom installed. Cm is OK but eats battery compered to stock. Some custom stock roms have the cm/aokp look so you get the look but battery is still good. What do you want?
Easy fix is flash stock firmware from sammobile.com with Odin and that should sort it out and get it working. :thumbup:

Cm isn't that good on Sammy devices
Yes just get a carrier free firmware

OK, found one of my carrier, but I don't know where to put it (PDA, CSC, etc)
The file is called I9100UHMS8_I9100CHEMS3_I9100UHMS1_HOME.tar.md5, and it came in the zip file CHE-I9100UHMS8-20130503103606.
Do you know where should I put the file?
