and then flash a new ROM or re flash.
I would tell you to factory reset your phone but i don't know if you were on 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 (Brick bug)
(you know about siyah kernel right? If not, might wanna read this first)

Thanks for the answer, but how could I performance a factory reset. Is there any way to see my version from clockwork, or the android recovery?
If I miss this info, may I flash with 4.0.3 with no issues?

4.0.3 is alright.
Is your phone rooted, you never flashed it right?
If so, why don't you claim warranty. These devices shouldn't go off on itself.

Yes, my phone is rooted, I've bought it on a different country that which I live, so warranty is not an option by now, I am from Peru, and my phone came with stock ICS with no carrier, so I am looking for stock ICS on sammobil.com but there are only carrier's stock software, example (claro or movistar companies with annoying logon screen) so please where may I get an official stock ICS for my SGT-I9100 ?
Thanks

So you are looking for a unbranded ICS ROM.
Search around the forum, I'm sure you'll find it right away.
Wanna try JB leak instead?
You guys were lucky yesterday, against Venezuela

I think you've installed a I9100G ROM instead of a I9100 ROM.
You have an I9100 phone right? Check below the battery just to be sure.
If you do, then:
Can you get to Download Mode? My guess is yes, so you can flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Here's a guide for boot issues & whatnot if the above doesn't work.

Hello gastonw, I could restore my phone, I did some mistakes but, everything went better than expected, so here are the steps I followed
1. I've downloaded siyah (great kernel btw) and then made a backup of everything on my phone.
2. Wiped Dalvik and factory/data cache
3. I've downloaded a stock ROM ICS 4.0.3 (latin america ROM) using google (hard to find, but everything is possible)
4. Flashed with odin 3.07 and was successful...then I turned mad 'cause I thought I lost all my data but... I made a backup.
5. Installed touch-CWM 6.0.1.2
6. Restored backup from CWM and voilá my phone was completely operative and functional with all my old app and configuration
Additional info: My software asked for an update from SAMSUNG.COM and now I have ICS 4.0.4 and runs too smoothly
Thanks for your support
Greetings

That's good to hear man.
Since you are on 4.0.4 remember the brick bug thing. As long as you are on siyah, everything's good.
Here you can find many ICS ROMs (branded & unbranded), in case you wanna get rid of all carrier bloat.

Hi
(I have done a fair search about this and did come across some results but im still not quite sure on what to do)
This is my first attempt at rooting my phone and i want to make sure i dont end up with a $600 brick.
Im going to use the CF-root method outlined in this tutorial thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 unbranded and bought in australia.
I have already searched for my kernal versions on http://hotfile.com/list/1967350/4304d29 but its not listed.
My kernal is: [email protected] #2
This is the one listed in the CF-root tutorial thread and the one im planning on using: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5.zip, would this be the correct one?
Here is a screenshot of my "about phone" page:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

}
That is my main question.
If im successfully in rooting my phone am i correct that i can go ahead and start trying out different ROM's? As long as that kernel is installed i can just install whatever ROM(for the SGS2 of coarse) i like on top?
Big thanks for any help.

Yes, having a CF-Root kernel means you get root, busybox and CWM recovery. These tools allow you to install custom roms and mod your phone with ease.
You may find that most roms come with another kernel, as long as it isn't a stock kernel things should be fine in terms of modding
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Your choice of kernel is correct.
After rooting, you'll be able to flash other roms using cwm. you'll find plenty of tutorials and videos floating arnd on the net.

Cheers for the help guys, much appreciated.
So just how important is having the correct kernel? In terms of safety, ah la non bricking my phone is it best to have a kernel as close to the most up to date official stock one?
And when i do flash a custom ROM/Kernel do they already come with root or ?
Big thanks for any help.
There's always a (very small) risk you'll brick your phone with any given flash. If you used the wrong CFRoot kernel, the worst that could normally happen is the phone wouldn't boot. As long as you chose the CFRoot kernel that is an exact or closest match to your current kernel, you'll be fine.
The only thing you need to be careful about re: possibly bricking your phone is ensuring you're flashing firmware for the SGS2 variant you have; I.E only flash I9100 firmware to your phone.
Every kernel that I've seen that's been supplied with a custom rom has been rooted. Obviously if you flash a new kernel or a rom (I've never seen a rom without a kernel supplied), the new kernel will overwrite your existing kernel.

It's always reccomended to have a kernel as close to your most up to date official stock one, but in terms of safety, if things were to go wrong, ie: bootloop/stuck on boot logo, then this is classed as a "softbrick" & not a hardbrick, & is relatively easy to recover from by just pulling your battery then going into recovery & doing wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache! & if that fails then there's always this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252 or this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 for your salvation!
In general, as long as you're not flashing a Pit file or a Bootloader through Odin 3, then the chances of you hardbricking your expensive toy are minimal!
Once rooted, you can always use CWM recovery, or install mobile odin (needs root!) to flash whatever you like from there! At least that way you'll never have a warning triangle or flash counter going up in value, & you can always use triangle away here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114 to reset your counter for warranty repairs!
Awesome help guys thanks very much.
I have one last thing to clear up and then ill stop pestering you guys, i promice
So if i manage to get the initial CFRoot kernel flashed and root my S2, then can i go ahead and flash a custom kernel/ROM like this one(following the instructions given on the page to a T)((for example)([ROM][ICS][02/05][IMPORTANT P.1454]HyDrOG3N-ICS 02.05[BYEDROG3NICS.ED'][DASWAGG])(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530179) ive found in the "Galaxy S II Android Development" section and only have the (very small) risk of bricking?
I know this is all in the tutorial thread but i just wanna make sure im doing things correctly.
And damn, mobile odin is sweet, once i get my head around things ill def be using it.
Big thanks again for any and all help.
Thats what the instructions say flash via CWM recovery .
Risk of bricking if you follow the instructions is almost nil .
jje
I have another thing i need to clarify,
So most modded rom's come with their own kernels, can i choose to install just the rom and use the CF-root kernel? Would that be on the safer side of things? And if i did use the included kernel that would be for performance increase side of things?
Thanks for any help.
Install the ROM, then flash a kernel cleaning script and finally CF-Root. A cleaning script is optional but usually a good idea when switching kernels.
The included kernel in a ROM is usually just there by preference of the ROM dev. It doesn't always mean it will be more stable or better for performance/battery etc. The only way to find out is to test - in the end it's whatever works really.
Cheers for the help

No! The ICS Custom Rom are using the older GB Kernel and 2.3.6 System for now. So you have to wait until the devs updated their roms.
Thank you very much for this. Looking forward to restoring this over the 4.0.4 Chinese ICS leak.

If you are rooted you can deactivate them using titanium backup. I also restored all my apps and data with Titanium.
Flash player doesn't work for me...
It's possibile to do a clean installation with wipe?
I dont think there is flash for 4.0 yet?
If you wipe, take care of keeping your root.

I'd like to know how it went.
can I go from LATAM 2.3.6 to the 4.0.4 leak or do i have to reflash tmobile 2.3.6 then go to 4.0.4.
it says we can't go back to 2.3.6, but will we be able to go to official ics from this leak?
is root available for the 4.0.4?
I went from RetailBr 2.3.5 -> CM9 (JDaddy's builds) -> ChinaICS 4.0.4
Now I'm attempting to restore just the system partition from the german leak over the Chinese one i've already flashed since this German Leak is supposedly more functional and has less bugs.
The chinese version of ics can be rooted however people are reporting mixed results with this german version. Also the fastboot version of this cannot be downgraded from which means that it can throw you off the update path quite significantly.

Hi smilez,
To go for ICS 4.0.4 (this leak) you need to be in T-Mobile 2.3.6 but it's impossible for our Latam Razrs unfortunally.
Wait evonc tell about restoring the system over the chinese 4.0.4 ICS leak.

Extreme Noob question.. if offended please look away now.............
I am currently running stock ics 4.0.3 firmware rooted with cf-kernal on my galaxy sII (i9100),
I want to go back to cm9 nightlys, i had it on previously to this rom im running now,
With all the brickbug posts floating about im paranoid at whether i could safely return to cm9 nightly or any cm9 builds.i have the bugged emmc chip as gotbrickbug v1.1 tells me but im guessing it should be fine to flash back? though wanted feedback as to whether that would be ok,
ive also had various other roms on this phone too, im sure i also had siyah kernal rc3 i think?? not ure on build but all worked fine.
would (in your opinion) flashing back to cm9 brick my phone?
Thanks in advance and please bare in mind i have read around the forum but all the info is confusing when you read multiple threads on the subject.
Only way to get brick bug active on 4.03 if you are on that old siyah with bricking bug.
So if you are stock or cfroot for 4.03 you can use cwm data wipe, restore backup...etc. but if your backup is on 4.04 brick bug kernel your in trouble.
Hope this helps.

I'm sorry to bump this thread, i tried searching but did not find a final answer.
I'm going to root my phone, and possible install CM9. But the emmc bug confuses me, i have checked with the app and it tells me i have the faulty chip. Is CWM dangerous to use? I read somewhere that you should not use CWM if you had the bug, but others again seems to use it without problems. I also read somewhere that a normal factory reset (without any root or flash) also could brick the phone, is that true? I would really appreciate some good answers on whats safe, and whats not. I will off course press the thanks button a lot!
The phone is stock, i have never rooted or flashed anything.

The ones causing the bricks mate is the stock kernel from sammy's 4.0.4 rom with CWM. Wiping using stock recovery is okay (i tried it). If you use other kernel like siyah you will be safe. In short, Stock kernel from samsung's 4.0.4 update + CWM Recovery + Wipe = Hard brick. As long as you avoid that, you will be safe
Bdw, it is good that you bumped this thread rather than making a new one

You could try that. Bdw, Stock kernel (sammy 4.0.3) + CWM (just like CF-Root) is safe. If you ever wanna try going to another rom and you are on a stock 4.0.4 rom, flash siyah first before doing a wipe
Never wipe using a stock 4.0.4 kernel + CWM recover

ICS binder didn't work for me, changed to differentROM wanamlite, very good, stable and fast.
Wouldn't using ext instead of internal slow things down? I have a sandisk ultra class 10
but surely internal is faster?
Hello everybody,
I have got a Samsung Galaxy SII with stock firmware ICS 4.0.3 which is brikkable for the emmc.
I would like to flash the Cyanogenmod 9; could it give me problems?
Before doing this, I would like to make a nandroid backup by the temporary ClockWorkMod Recovery.
If I would flash the Cyanogenmod 9, and then I would like to restore the old nandroid backup (always by using the temporary ClockWorkMod Recover) ,could it give me problems?

Hello everybody,
I have got a Samsung Galaxy SII with stock firmware ICS 4.0.3 which is brikkable for the emmc.
I would like to flash the Cyanogenmod 9; could it give me problems?
Before doing this, I would like to make a nandroid backup by the temporary ClockWorkMod Recovery.
If I would flash the Cyanogenmod 9, and then I would like to restore the old nandroid backup (always by using the temporary ClockWorkMod Recover) ,could it give me problems?
Thanks everybody.

Since you're on 4.0.3., you cant be affected by that particular brick. Only on 4.0.4. with stock kernel and those based on it.
If you backup or wipe in Cwm, there wont be any problems. After that I recommend Siyah kernel if you're gonna flash roms.

Maybe you mean that soon after the flash of the cyanogen9 I should flash the Siyah's kernel?
Hasn't the cyanogen9 an own kernel, or there is still the stock one after the flash?
I would like to try not to increase the internal counter for the warranty..

Cm9 comes with its own kernel which has Cwm. From there you can flash anything you want.
The counter will stay the same unless you flash with Odin in D/L mode.

Do you believe that the kernel "Siyah-s2-v4.1beta6-CWM" is good for Cm9?

I wouldn't recommend Beta releases. Better flash the latest stable release.

There have been a few issues with Siyah 4.0, hence a quick beta available to 4.1. I'd suggest you use 3.4.1. Seems to work perfectly for me. You could flash 4.1 once it is out of beta.

Hi, I recently bought an S2 from AT&T and I upgraded it from 2.3.4 to 4.1.2, when I install the famous eMMC Brick bug checker it says YES, insane chip.

Then I saw this so strange, so let's try another app.
With the Chainfire app "Got Brickbug ?" I had the same result.
But this is too strange to a noob like me, because I heard the bug is from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4. OK, so, is my phone going to brick if I wipe something?
Thanks in advance.

Why risk it? Just flash a known, good kernel.
Jeboo?

Is Jeboo a good kernel for 4.1.2? When you flash you have root too?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Jeboo is made specifically for ShoStock3.

To gain Root, just use Framaroot apk found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37508806&postcount=1
I recommend that u select the tab "Install SuperSU" and then select the "Aragorn" exploit. Works flawlessly for me on i777 Stock JB 4.1.2 everytime.
And as for a kernel for i777 JB 4.1.2, i suggest AJK v4.8 "NoSwap", as of this post that is the latest version. U must use the NoSwap because of the Stock i777 u r on. Here is the thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36993409&postcount=1

I installed AJK 4.9 NoSwap but still the "Yes, insane chip" message. I don't know if this is true. Please tell me. I don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
AJK doesn't have the brick bug, so your app is giving you wrong information. I've used AJK for ages, performed multiple factory resets from recovery and have never had any problems.
My advice is to stop relying on third party apps to tell you whether or not a custom kernel is safe. The op in ANY kernel thread generally gives you all the information you'll need, plus you can check in their respective threads to see if any user is reporting issues.

Several different Samsung phones received kernels with the cap erase bug present. Some were bricked by it, and some weren't. In an effort to understand why, it was learned that some phones (of the same model) had a susceptibility to the bug, and others didn't. The "Yes, insane chip" message simply means that your phone is susceptible to the bug. However, if you don't have a kernel with the cap erase bug present, then no harm will come to your phone.
My phone has a chip that is susceptible, but of course, I have never had anything but a known safe kernel on it. All you need to know is that as long as you use a safe kernel, you have no worries. Remember that this problem occurred quite a long time ago, and Samsung has eventually understood the problem and prevented it from re-occurring, although they have never acknowledged it publicly. Anything Jelly Bean would be safe, even stock. And anything custom would be safe, because the developer would make sure the cap erase bug was not present.
Thank you the both! I will try if there's no problem with the kernel.
Thanks.

Hi-
I tried to flash TWRP earlier today and now when I try to boot into recovery, the screen just goes black. The phone is a rooted Verizon prepaid Galaxy S4 with stock ROM.
Fortunately, the phone will otherwise boot normally. How can I reinstall a recovery system?
Thank you!

Odin stock from www.sammobile.com. Stock recovery is included in the tar. Use FlashFire for flashing, the bootloader is locked on this device.

Thank you. Do I download from the Firmware section of that site?
Also, after I flash that, will I be able to change to a custom ROM, like Cyanogen? I have been experiencing a lot of overheating and poor battery life.

Yes and yes
OK, I just flashed the stock firmware that I downloaded from Sammobile.com using Flashfire. My phone appears unchanged. I still cannot boot into recovery mode, and all of my apps and settings are unchanged. What did I do wrong?
Thanks again.

no and no ?
you can't run any custom roms on this device other then stock tw based ones
Despite numerous attempts, I still don't have access to recovery mode. I used Odin to flash the stock firmware using the .tar file. I just tried flashing the PIT file, but the button quickly turns blue and says RESET, and my phone boots regularly.
Any ideas?

So there are AOSP ROMs posted here for no reason? That's BS.

I thought that's what I did - I downloaded a stock firmware from Sammobile.com - I545VRUGOF1_I545VZWGOF1_I545VRUGOF1_HOME.tar.md5
I tried to flash it again last night and although it passed, nothing on my phone was different (apps were all there, did not go through new phone startup sequence).

do I really need to explain what locked bootloaders are ?
the i545/i545pp is locked the only exception is if you have a original one thats still running 4.2.2 and no you can't downgrade
the s4 is a dead device MOVE ON

Yes I know what a locked bootloader is, but I am rooted with a custom ROM. You can flash ROMs and mods with FlashFire. Not dead by any means.

How are your comments helping anyone? You think it's dead, good for you. I, for one, am still currently using and developing for this device. As long as people are still using the device and the ROMs that are available then the device is not dead.

because he was asking if cyanogen was a thing ITS NOT
stop arguing with me
there are no custom kernels no custom pre-boot recovery you may or may not get root depending on your firmware version
there hasn't been a update of Note to any of the Roms in this sub in YEARS
sorry you disagree you are welcome to waste hours trying to get kexec running on the device then we will have something untill then its fuctionally dead because nothing you flash is gonna make a s4 relevant in 2017

So your advice to someone looking to make their device run better is to buy a new/different device? Just because it isn't "relevant" to you doesn't mean people aren't still using it. Kindly take your comments to a relevant forum.

I just bought a brand new S4 in Feb 2018 - on purpose, installed SmartDroid so I can enjoy a lightening fast quality device that's ad-free and has 3 - 4 day battery use - Trust me when I say, this is absolutely the most relevant aspect of the Smartphone experience.
