Where Download? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I need to install only a recovery, because a custom rom brings ROOT. I'll use ODIN, where I can find recoverys in tar format, because the one I have, is the site of ClockworkMod and is in zip.
Thanks to all.

why do you need a recovery if you are not going to install custom roms. You already have the stock recovery to whatever you are going to do

Lol, you must know that CWM is integrated into the kernel, so if you need CWM you must install a custom kernel(insecure kernel) having CWM, and all custom kernels are made to enable rooting, trying to push CWM into stock kernel(secure kernel) is pretty dangerous and you might brick your phone, and stock has its on recovery mode which you can use. Anyway before performing any wipe or factory reset check whether if you have super brick bug if you are running ICS 4.0.4, and stupid question or not try including more details about your phone.

I thank people who write helpful posts, so i expect the same.

Ok.
Before anything thanks.
I want to install a CUSTOM ROM, like cyanogem, slim bean, etc. So your idea is install a kernel, but I can install recovery and then custom rom, right?
And this insecure kernel, can you give me the link to download?
Thanks.
P.S. - My SII have Gingerbread 2.3.5. original, I don't have touch in nothing.

I suggest you to update your phone to official ICS before flashing an insecure kernel

Flashed Using Odin, Want to Install JB... Now what?

So real quick....
I rooted my phone with ODIN last night, so I'm still running AT&T Rom and Stock 3e. I am trying to get JB installed but don't know where to go from here. I need to get Clockwork Recovery right? If so, how can I get that on my phone? I did read I should not used ROM MANAGER!
Sorry for the stupidity! I got JB on my last Galaxy before it broke I'm just confused because I did it a different was last time. Thanks for the help!
just flash a custom kernel with ODIN. That'll give you CWM recovery. then you can flash whatever you want.

Ok, is Odin 1.85 sufficient (or is there a newer one) and then can I just flash it with Siyah 4.1.4?
IDK much about Odin. But if it worked for ya the first time it should be good.
for the kernel, you must find one in a format Odin uses and not in the normal .zip which requires CWM recovery to flash.
Right now .tar is the only one that comes to mind for Odin.

I would flash a kernel that is compatible with whatever ROM you have currently. Then flash a JB ROM from CWM . Flash Siyah after you have JB if that is the kernel you want. I think you would get boot looped if kernel and ROM are mismatched.

Okay cool. I know this might be asking a lot but can you just link to me a Kernel that will work with the ROM I have? It's still the AT&T Stock Rom 2.3.4 with Baseband I777UCKH7 and Kernel 2.6.35.7.

Take a look at the guide which is the top link in my signature. It will give you a little more detail on what you want to do, and has links to the available Gingerbread kernels.

the only point in flashing a kernel compatible with a ROM, would be if you wanted to boot into the ROM.
Yes, flashing a kernel meant for a different version will most likely bootloop.
You can flash any kernel you want if you have no intentions on booting the system.
Recovery inside the kernel has nothing to do with what ROM your running. Will always be able to boot into recovery. Or **** broke
I give you lots of credit for reading not to use rom manager!

If you use Mobile Odin you can flash a custom kernel that will install CWM and then flash a custom ROM with CWM. I do this so I do not mess with the flash counter.

It sounds like you're taking the same route I did to root my phone. I first flashed a rooted, stock ICS ROM, then I flashed the Siyah kernel using Mobile Odin, then I eventually went on to flash a JB ROM (SuperNexus) using Mobile Odin. I'm sure I could have skipped that step of flashing Siyah because SuperNexus flashes a CM kernel anyway, but I kinda didn't know what I was doing.

Help needed correct recovery !!

Hi all, ok ive rooted my GS3 and its running 4.1.2 , but my question is that im not sure its going into proper recovery mode as when i put it into recovery it doesnt look like the usual recovery screen !! ie im trying to install the Audio hack zip and flash it but it keeps failing everytime i try, can somebody please help me, also is it because it needs a diferent rom like Omega or something, hope to get some help soon, from

You need to install Custom Recovery first... (CWM or any other)
Rooting only doesn't include CWM...
Use Odin to flash it.
thankyou
Hi and thankyou for that, so when you say i have to install flash a custom recovery, do you mean i have to install a new rom like omega or something ? and yes i do have Odin.

Just go to original development and you will find a choice of 2 or 3, you can flash them in Odin/cwm/mobile Odin depending on their format so read instructions

Can i get a conform instruction on how to do this?i prefer not to do this with odin..because i already have a custom recovery...my recovery is CWM 5.0.3...do i need to upgrape my recovery first?
So you want to flash it via CWM, that's a completely different question.
You can also search for that.
Don't wanna flash with odin?
Mobile Odin might be the best tool for you.

i already search for it...i found
1. Stock rooted deoxed rom 4.1.2 <<< -- to install this i need CWM for JB
2. Root on stock recovery <<<< -- to install this i need stock rom and stock recovery
3.CWM on stock recovery <<< --- to install this also need stock recovery
-stock rom and recovery mean using odin...and i dont want to use odin...
From all thing above..i need to know how to do this with ICS CWM that i already have....IF there is anyway pls let me know...
sorry for my bad english...
can at least give me a link to where this instruction on how to do this??
Check out Mobile Odin.
And I think you want the deoxed ROM via CWM.

i9100 Rooted but no CWM

Hello everyone, greeting from Turkey!
First of all im a newbie for android rooting and romming etc. I ve always used stock roms since ive got this phone. Now Im running a I9100 (int.) with stock Turkish 4.1.2 (XXLS8) on it and i ve rooted it via superuser.zip with my stock recovery.
What i want to do is to install CWM and want to flash a RELIABLE and Long Battery life rom. Are there anyways for me to install a CWM without using odin (via stock recovery). And can you please suggest me a good rom for daily usage. (i want to use vanilla android btw [just like nexus]).
Thank you for your helps.
I don't know much about roms/kernels for the international version, but you will need to flash a stock kernel with cwm and then just choose a rom from your development thread and follow the instructions, don't forget making backups and reading a lot, you can start from flashing cyanogenmod.

The thing is i dont have the CWM on my phone, its only the Rooted Stock Recovery.
Uhm i believe that we can flash a philz via stock. Is that true?

As i said i dont know about international version kernels, but it should have a tag like "stock kernel" or something like that if its for stock, just install it and you will have cwm, if its not stock it wont be installed anyway.

How to Get a custom Recovey on i9100

I used to have an i9100 before and heavily tweaked it. I have a Nexus now and it is so much easier than S2 and I forgot everything. Now, my brother is got an i9100 and I would like to know how to get a custom recovery on it. I don't need root, just a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM will do.
Can someone link me how to install CWM or TWRP on this i9100? I want to install a KitKat ROM on it, such as Carbon ROM. I searched and searched but the instructions are for 4.0.4 only. Thanks

Did you get Custom Recovery with out root before? I think it is not possible cos I9100 and other do not use recovery partitions. Never ever. CWM is on same partition what kernel is. Its mixed up together. When you flash root you will have Custom Recovery
