noob question number 5 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok guys
am having isues dual booting
installed syrah kernel fine and used STweaks to set up 2nd rom
am using a cyanogenmod 10.1 version as my 2nd rom
but it just boots into the cyanogen spinning logo - and goes no further!?
is the 4.2.1 not compatable?
thanks guys in advance

I'm not sure
After install 2nd rom you have to flash siyah kernel is it OK this part?

yep reflashed the kernel

You will need to find out what Siyah kernel you are running as not all support dual boot.The latest version s3-v1.8.8 is meant to work with dual boot and has cm10.1 support.Check it out and download from here.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
Dont forget that after installing the second ROM you will have to re-install Siyah cos the secondary ROM probably wont have the correct kernel.Also a 4.2.1 ROM may need a different Siyah version than a 4.1.2 or a 4.1.1 ROM and this could also be the problem if you have 2 different firmwares running.
When on dual boot you have one kernel controling both.

ok that makes sense
have siyah version s3-v1.8.8 already running
reinstalled siyah after 2nd rom installation
still a no go
thought the siyah kernel was 'one kernel to rule them all'.......
or so it says.........

If I remember from when I dual booted a second ROM I had to full wipe install it.I imagine that you did but you could try and pass your primary ROM to secondary and full wipe install the new one.Then just swap them over again so the full wipe primary goes to secondary and the one you passed to secondary will come back as your main ROM.....if you get what I mean.Kind of a wierd explanation:silly:
The boot problen is definitly to me a kernel issue anyway.

yeah - will do the clone/swap thing!
by the way
are you part of the omega team?

How to know which kernel is correct?
As of now I am using Sensation rom which has Siyah kernel 2.5.2 and I want to flash speedmod kernel or N.E.A.K. Kernel,
N.E.A.K. Kernel only supports sammy roms
I tried to search but I could not find out if Sensation rom is aosp or sammy do you have any idea of it?
also does speedmod kernel support both as nothing it written about it on its thread
Thanks

Normally on the first page of a rom thread you will get a description what is the rom. For example MIUI is well MIUI. Hyperdroid is sammy deodex rom with of course modifications and tweaks in the build to make it better than stock.
Sensation rom is sammy deodex no aosp nothing like that. And when you normally look for an AOSP rom it normally would say it in the heading of the thread anyway.
On the kernel thread it has a guide of what roms the kernel works on and which ones it does not. Siyah works basically with any rom. CM7 to AOSP to sammy deodex. Regarding Simone's kernel which is the NEAK version or something like that it is based on only sammy stock deodex roms and that is mainly the ones in original development and android..just look out for deodex, sammy and stock rom
AS above its all a question of reading the info on the first page of the kernel post .
Plus if it does not work flash another one .
the Neak kernel should be ok been on mine for a few days .
Speedmod likewise ok have used it before .

Thanks everyone for their wonderful help!
I have got one last question
Speedmod kernel says "it is only for Samsung Gingerbread ROMs. It will not work with CyanogenMod or MIUI ROMS!"
does this means it will not work with sensation rom?
Edit: ok looks like the different versions are just the updated ones
But still the question is if it supports sensation rom?

Now, if you look at the VERY FIRST page for SensatioN ROM,, it says:
SensatioN ROM Features:
-Based on Samsung Firmware XWKK5 Android 2.3.6
With all of this information, you should be able to deduce that the Speedmod kernel WILL work with your ROM. If you still don't understand, I'm going to suggest you don't flash anything to your phone, for fear of ending up with a paperweight.
Ok this time I understand everything
I didn't knew that Sammy roms means that the ROM is based on Samsung's stock ROM
Also I thought that speedmod only works on stock ROM so all this things got me confused
But anyways now its all clear

[Q] How to flash the SiyahKernel

Hello
I'm new into the world of flashing and rooting.
So I want to make my phone last longer and have it rooted.
I actually laid my eye's on the Siyahkernel and it looks really good.
So my question.
How to flash the Siyahkernel into my stock android version?
(Android-version 4.0.3 Baseband-version: i9100BULP6)
Could you recommend me a good tutorial?
And would you recommend the program [root]Triangle away?
Thx for reading
Siyah kernel is really appreciated and accepted by the people, but it is recently reported some problem with ICS Siyah kernel which is in Beta stage now,
so it is recommended to use CF-root for rooting your device first, then you can later on flash your favourite kernels.
Checkout CF-root thread link in my signature.
also refere Guide for ODIN flash,
Feel free to ask if you are not clear
You have to match the version code with your current kernel version, not the Baseband vesrion, to select the appropreate CF-root
Thanks for your help and your signature rocks ^^ keep it this way please
So I have to ask.
How big is the change that (when I use my PC normally and I do what the tutorial says) I brick my device? XD
yup many ppl ,i read thier prblm is some were related to kernel ,and the recent siyah kernels r not stable...so try neak or older versionss of siyah..
alright I'm going to flash the CF-Root kernel:
CF-Root-SGS2_BU_VOD_LPC-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Thx for your reply's

Follow the Siyah's kernel thread, you would know that only one version (the rc6) had some weird "phone brick" issues which, we now know the reasons and the problem is fixed. The last 3.1 version is stable and works perfectly on my device , same thing for almost all users. Just wanted to moderate abit your comment .
well thanks for all your reply's
I installed the CF-root kernel and it workes
I will install the Siyahkernel when it gets a new feauture I need ;D

No, your kernel won't be touched. Just make sure it's possible to flash the new second rom with the Siyah kernel you use right now.

Thank you for the answer btw any rom recommendations for siyah?

Well that obviously depends on which version of Siyah you want to use as they all support different bases.
You would be much better off finding a rom you like and then flashing the appropriate Siyah kernel for it. However you can start off on any kernel version you like as custom rom will replace with its own kernel anyway so just flash Siyah again afterwards.
Also please note that this type of question is not allowed for various reason.

Flashing another 1st rom will 'replace' your kernel. If you flash a new 2nd rom, the current kernel won't be replaced. Clear?

Help! I Messed up my phone !

I'm a bit rusty as i was busy with my exams for 5 months, with that being said.
i was rocking siayh kernel with 2 sammy based roms, then i flashed a 4.2.2 super nexus milestone as my prime rom which in turn replaced my kernel, so i DUMBLY tried flashing siyah x/ . now im stuck in some sort of boot-loop and im confused abt what im supposed to do right now
I forgot a lot abt dat stuff !
I have everything downloaded & what i was trying to achive was Foxhound ROM V2.7 (4.1.2) as my prime ROM & a super nexus as my secondary.
Siyah is my choice.
Sry guys for wasting some of your time, but i prefer asking the pros abt what should be done rather than trying something dumb again xD
I have every rom i used backed up as well as all the data i need!
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !

[Q] need help

I am a newbie regarding android roms and all that .. and I need help ..
As I see dual booting in galaxy S2 .. I was wondering if I can .. then after some study on this site .. I get to know how to root .. now my phone is rooted but dont have CWM installed .. I tried to flash CWM .. it starts CWM successfully .. but after rebooting it again it start samsung recovery .. so my question here is .. Can I just flash CWM nd then Siyah Kernel same time without rebooting between each flash .. and One thing is that can I use my Samsung original Rom (4.1.2) as primary Rom and other rom (Resurrection Remix) as secondary ???
-*-*-*-*
I have tried my self .. when flashing Siyah Kernel .. it says some thing like asserts ... or like that .. and failed to flash kernel ..
now what am I suppose to do for flashing Siyah kernel or any better kernel for dual booting ... ??
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT I9100
4.1.2
1) If you really want help, you need to use a better title than 'Need help. Plenty of people will not even bother to read your thread in the first place due to that alone (you're lucky I'm bored right now).
2) The reason CWM isn't persisting after you reboot is because recovery is baked into the kernel on the SGS2 & isn't a separate partition like other phones. So if you want permanent CWM, you need to flash a custom kernel.
3) If you flash Siyah on it's own, you will end up with a rooted phone + CWM & you can go from there. I suspect the reason you got those errors are you used the wrong build for the particular Android version you are running. If you want to make it easy for yourself, I suggest you read the first page of the Siyah thread carefully then download the Odin version you need for the Android version you're running (I forget which is which; haven't run Siyah for >12 mths) & flash that.
Yes, you can dual boot with Siyah. There are detailed instructions in the Siyah threads, and there have also been a multitude of dual boot how-to's written (search in both cases).

thanx bro for ur reply .. nd yeah U are ryt for title thing .. I realized the same thing after posting the issue .. yeah I have read the Kernel thread nd I have flashed with the ryt version ( latest) ""Siyah-s2-v6.0b5-CWM"" I think this is the latest version of Siyah I could get from the Siyah Kernel site for S2 ..
If I consider to flash Dorimanx .. I think this is also dual boot supported .. what u guys reccomend .. ???
V6.0b5 is the latest siyah kernel he made. For dualbooting I would recommend dorimanx 8.xx as you will be able to run a modded stock Sammy rom and a aokp/cm rom at the same time. ? if you use 9.xx dorimanx kernel you will only be able to run aokp/cm roms.
8.32 dorimanx is rock stable running both custom and modded stock roms imo.

Yes you can pick any stock Rom but it needs to be running a modded updater script for the preload. Then custom or another modded stock rom in 2nd rom. Look up @Troubadour666 he's made many dualboot threads and is a nice guy. Speak to him on all things dualboot. Can't go wrong with his advice :thumbup:
