Hello xda ! I'm not able to restore by backup.... In cwm it says fail/error in flashing boot.img Please help...
You need more details on what happened.
For example, I have no idea if you were talking about an android fridge or a tablet.

I guess you need to have the same CWM version to be able to take backup/restore. Like, if you took Nandroid in CWM v4 and restored in CWM v5 there may happen a mismatch or MD5 checksum error. Anyways its just my thoughts, and I'm not sure about the same. Better ask in the device-specific forum ie, Galaxy SL i9003 and you'll get more feedbacks about the issue.

or if something doesnt work out for you, just reflash the rom without wiping...it will load the kernel on there for you...

There are UCKH7 and UCKK6 stock kernels floating around. No need to back them up, they're out there already.
This is my first post and i was wondering if people could answer some questions i have.
First off heres my phones specs
Samsung galaxy s2
Model number
GT-I9100
Android version
4.0.3
Baseband version
I9100XXLPQ
Kernel version
3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505

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.

I just mentioned ROM Manager from personal preference to be honest.
I've always used it on my S2 and never had a problem with it.

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

Since you have the G version, follow the guide

And ensure you flash a custom ROM specific to G version and not I9100 International version.

Can you please confirm if you followed the guide I posted in my first post to resolve the soft brick issue? Before you flash any custom ROM, make sure that you have a working stock 4.0.3 ROM. From the symptoms it seems the kernel is not loading as it should. So first follow that guide to flash a stock ROM.
Once the stock is up and running, you can flash custom ROM and/or kernel.

Nope 2.3.6 should be fine as long as it loads properly and not gets stuck on the yellow triangle.
So next step would be to flash CWM recovery. You will get the detailed steps from second link under custom kernels. Flash it from odin. Once done take a backup from custom recovery and flash any GB or ICS rom from the recovery.

Okk when i flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery 5 from odin , i got stuck with the yellow triangle. i think the problem is in the CWM recovery flashing ! but i can take off the battery and put it on again to go ONLY to the download mode or recovery mode.
i had to re-flash a stock kernel i found on the same thread
The steps on the CWMR 5 thread should not cause any issues.
Just to confirm:
- You are using GB kernel with filename as GT-I9100G_GB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.8.tar
- In odin keep all as default. Do not select partition.
- The kernel tar file is selected in pda.
- No other file is selected in any of other sections.

In philz change the back up method to .tar and instead of .dup
go to -recovery-backup and restore-choose back up method - tar.
there have been some reported problems with .dup method.
then try making making a back up again, it should work.

hi, i have a noob question, i dont know so much about repartitioning and other things, my question is, when upgrading a rom it does at normal procces (wipe data and install zip) . im taljking about for example ,i'm now in shostock 3 , it is android 4.1 and if i would back to cm9 , could i do that?. i have a nandroid backup of cm9, can i just restore this backup and i wont have problems without matter the rom i'm coming?, sorry for my english and thanks for the understanding.:good:
I'm not familiar with CM9, but the only issue would be if the ClockworkMod Recovery in the SHOstock3 kernel is compatible with the backup made with thebackup made with CM9. I'm thinking it might not be because the Jebo kernel in SHOstock3 backs up a pre-load partition.
Do You think then that is better flash again cm9 instead of the backup?
