Installing jelly bean - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted galaxy s2 with an xwlp7 kernel. The jelly bean rom i saw was 4.1.2 XXLSJ. Will this work with my kernel?

The kernel you currently have has no relation to a different ROM which has its own kernel.
Or to directly answer your odd question, no, your current non-JB kernel certainly will not work with a JB ROM.

But if you mean you want to install the JB-leak (or didn't you mean that?): that is possible. Your current kernel will be replaced.

Yes I meant the leaked version. Was just wondering if it can be done before attempting.

Yes that is possible. You can flash the official one, or one from a developer (I personally would recommend Neatrom). Good luck.

How to install cm9 on sgs2 gingerbread?

Just a question. There are numerous sites on the internet that tells you how to install cm9 on sgs2. Others say that you dont need to flash a leaked ics. Others need you to install . Please help thanks.

Go by the guide on CM9 website. I played it safe and flashed the tar version via PDA in odin. Once that's installed you can then update to latest nightly. I've never had any issues with that process. All the best.

So sir did you install first a leaked ics or not? Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Erm not sure I'm a bit of a flasher- holic. More than likely I was on a 4.0.4 based custom rom. If you do full wipes and format system then flash via odin I'm sure you will be fine as that's what I did. Please read CM9 guide though.

No a custom custom kernel will not remove your ROM, before you flash your chosen kernel read the devs instructions and notes on the brick bug issue. I use the latest siyah have had no problems. Read before flashing there is no rush. All the best

Nope it shouldn't brick your device but Instead of using Odin why not use the safer CWM recovery?

please rephrase your post. It's not clear

He meant stock Samsung kernel.
OP: you can't do this, since CM9 needs kernel compatible with AOSP ROMs.
Then is there any way to remove cm9 rom?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If you want to remove CM9, I am assuming that you wish to replace it with a new ROM. Go through the forum and choose a new ROM and place it in your phone's USB drive or SD card. Then go into ClockWorkMod Recovery mode and Factory Reset/Wipe your device. Then install a new zip and choose the zip file of the ROM you downloaded. If there is any part of this that you do not know how to do, say so and I will give instructions or refer you to one of the many excellent guides that have already been written.
A kernel is essentially only a part of a ROM. So when you flash a new ROM you are flashing a new kernel as well, but when you flash a new kernel you are only changing the kernel section of your ROM, not your entire ROM.

Dual boot cm9? Ics? Are you sure thats possible? Don't both roms need to be JB?
Why would you want to dual boot cm9? 10.1 is the latest
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Both roms need to be jellybean at least, so you will have to use at least cm10...

Doesn't it depend on the version of the Siyah Kernel? Maybe I was wrong

ICS was never supported for dual booting. So no, you cannot.
Questions go in the Q&A section

It's always worth updating, yes. Newer releases have newer fixes.

Will the fw be fine to flash as when I started the download it said it was for turkey. Lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yes you can flash for any country so long as the model is correct. MD3 isn't even the latest anymore. ME2 is (which you can download for Netherlands or Norway).
You'll lose root when you flash Via Odin.
Any particular reason you won't go for something like Wanam Lite ROM, flash through recovery?
Still a sort of noobie...not really had the guts to flash any rom yet
Rooted but on stock XXEMC2

As a rule of thumb,
"Galaxy SIII Android Development" contains:
Samsung TouchWiz based custom ROMs
Unofficial CM, AOKP builds
"Galaxy SIII original Android Development" contains:
Samsung Kernels
Official CM, AOKP (AOSP) builds

[Q] Omega Rom - Mobile Data hangs the phone

Hi
I am using omega 4.2.2 latest built. The phone gets stuck/hanged whenever I connect mobile data. Sometimes it works fine but stucks when I use twitter or Facebook app.
Why is that so?
And can I downgrade to omega 4.1.2 ?

Try a different baseband
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
Don't know much about the basebands. I think every rom has a different baseband. So you mean try some other rom ? Stock or custom ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Alright did some research and yes I got the idea. Its baseband problem. I am gona try XXEMC6.
But can I downdowngrade from jb 4.2.2 to jb 4.1.2 after a full wipe?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Why are you downgrading the rom? I said try another baseband. Not try another rom.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
Because I cannot find any other than XXUFME7 baseband for jb 4.2.2
I thought it came with only one baseband.
I checked wanamlite and omega. They both come up with XXUFME7.
Can you recommend some roms ?

My point is you can use ANY baseband. It is not tied or related to the ROM in any way. There's hundreds of basebands available to flash in the general forum.
Now you are making sense. So I had to install the rom first or the baseband first then any rom?
Baseband and a kernel is the same thing ?
