Hi there, i just installed the new neatrom full 4.1 that came out on the 23 of this month i wanted to update to another kernel witch is the SiyahKernel v6.0b4 i have no idea if that one is the best but i do see some people with it, im hoping its best for battery life on the phone too.
The thing is i open CWM flash a new kernel and then select it but then it says "kernel failed, no zImage was found"
any ideas?
Install tar version via odin, or look after patched zip version here on xda.
I noticed you have Neatrom lite is it better for battery life? thats actually what i am looking for, something that will last me more then a day.

Which specific file you trying to flash? (Give link). Sounds like your flashing wrong file.

I downloaded the syah kernel from its official website so im guessing it has to be right. anyone else know another kernel witch combines really well with neatrom 4.1 full?

Re-download the zip and try again. Could be corrupted which is why its not able to grab files from it.
Alternative simply flash the .tar version in download mode via ODIN.
Download an old dorimanx or siyah(pre new jelly bean) flash that, reboot recovery (under advanced) flash siyah 6 b4 and reboot
The same thing happened to me a few days ago. On cmw in philZ kernel I can't flash siyah 6b4 from the official website.
It's possible to flash it with Odin on computer. (.tar file)
Worked for me. Now I can flash all the kernels I want on cmw.
Sent from my GT-I9100.
How do you flash with Odin, i just downloaded the program.
Well i was able to flash the latest Siyah kernel but i wasnt able to flash the dorimanx kernel witch i hear is much better for battery

use that siyah kernel recovery to flash the zip file of Dori kernel ma8
or u can dwnld the .tar version of Dori kernel v7.45 from link below and flash the same using ODIN.
Dorimanx Kernel
i was able to do it in recovery mode, but dori kernel 7.43 would install but not boot in, i tried 7.44 and it worked perfectly im guessing the 7.43v is bugged.

Hey Guys,
I bricked actually my phone.
I want to know now, wich is actually the best Android 4.0.3 ROM.
I know how to flash via zip and via odin.
I dont know how to flash kernel
I wanna use a Android 4.0.3 ROM with DarkKnights or Siyah Kernel, tell me what you think about it.
First flash the ROM then Kernel?
Best Regards!
Noxxo
There is no answer to "best rom/kernel?". Many are good - and it largely comes down to personal preference. Try out a few and see what you think for yourself.
In general, you flash a kernel just like you flash a rom from a .zip. Flash the rom first, then the kernel - otherwise the kernel would be overwritten with the stock one from the rom.
So the Kernel from the ROM is a stockkernel? i give a try
Well not necessarily a pure-vanilla-stock kernel, but the ROM will come with a kernel already baked in that will be a good baseline to start from.
Uhm.. at first I need CWM and a ROM with it.. I cant open now CWM. I have to flash via Odin right now, after that i can use from SD card, but i need a ROM and CWM for now, can u give me a link for a ROM via Odin ?
Flash to clear 4.0.3 it will wipe your phone (3 files - Modem file is for phone, CSC for CSC and CODE for PDA*check repartition*) + PIT file.
CFRoot it with ODIN(karnel file = PDA)it will give you root and CWM, flash old bootloader(BL file = Bootloader but dont check BL update), clear flash counter with JIG. Now you can flash zip files from CWM.
But i dont recommend 4.0.3 it is unstable and has many bugs. I am using HyperDroid 6.1.17(XILA2 based) and RedPill 1.3 karnel
I will try it now. thanks 4 ur config.

The root task is done by both of the kernels indeed. But:
If you just want to root your device CF-Root will do the thing.
Siyah or Siyah related kernels (DorimanX Kernel for example) and some others are more advanced kernels that
give you the ability to adjust some settings through an app (STweaks) that is installed with the kernel.

DorimanX Kernel
Siyah Kernel
The best way to find out what you can do with the kernels is to read their threads.
It's to much to explain. Just as an example: Change CPU frequency and volting, enable different setting profiles for
improved battery life and much more.
The kernel I like most is DorimanX but you have to be more experienced because of a lot of different options.
Siyah, which is the base of the DorimanX, is more compact with the settings and easier to learn.
No matter what kernel you use, make sure your rom is supported. (Stock or Custom, AOKP / CM Base?)

If you just want to flash a kernel because you want to get root and install a custom rom than CF-Root is the best thing.
Every custom rom comes with it's own kernel that fits. Only if you want to get an advanced kernel you may flash one of these:
DorimanX or
Siyah vsync v4/5
in their modified versions for CM and AOKP based roms.
Do NOT flash these kernels as long as you are on a Stock based rom. It won't boot then.
Make sure you know how to install custom roms! Mostly described in the rom threads itself.
So you steps should be:
1. flash CF-Root via odin to get your phone rooted.
2. copy the zip file to sd card and flash the rom via recovery.
3. stay with the delivered kernel of the custom rom or flash another via odin or recovery if you want an advanced one.

Don't get me wrong, but I think It's better if you make your own experience with installing/flashing >>Instructions
Everything you need is explained here step by step. Won't take you that long to read through it think
If you don't know the difference between Stock and Custom, just use the forum search.
And I figured out that it's better to root via Siyah for you with this one Siyah for stock rom
For titanium i got no advice for you because I'm not experienced with it. But there should be some threads guiding you through.
when you don't get something in the tutorials you're free to ask here again. But for now good luck and have fun learning something about
your device

What you have to do is to flash this kernel via Odin Odin
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select .tar file you've downloaded (Siyah in this case)
- Put your phone in download mode (google it if you dno't know how to)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
after this steps your phone is rooted and then you can install your custom firmware.

if you flash the Siyah kernel it automatically installs the a recovery. there is no need to install it separately.
you just have to download the zip file for your custom rom (Jelly Beer 4.18 in your case) and copy it to your external sd card.

guys im new here on galaxy s2 thread so kindly do not judge me if i ask noob things
i want to flash AOKP for galaxy s2 and i found 2 of them Revolt and thunder roms
download both + dorimanx kernel placed on SD going into CWM trying to flash kernel and rom but im getting this message :
E:signature verification failed !!
Like just about everything else on here, 'E:signature verification failed !!' has been covered many many times on here (Including a couple of times over the past few weeks). Search for those threads, your answer will be in one of them.
i think i have the stock recovery !!
flashing this Cf-root throw odin will give me the CWM ??
Having stock recovery would explain your problem. If you flash the correct CFRoot kernel via Odin, yes, you will have a rooted phone + CWM. However, many people prefer to simply flash the Odin version of a custom kernel (like Siyah) to achieve this aim these days (Given the issues with 4.0.4 stock kernels, which CFRoot is, and the brickbug). Find the relevant Odin flashable version of Siyah for the Android version you're running; check the Siyah threads for which build is compatible with which version of Android (should be on the first page).
all the Cf-root is ICS and im running JB what i can do in that case ??
all i want to access cwm to flash rom and kernel
This recovery I have
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Which as you said is stock recovery. You can flash temporary versions of CWM from stock recovery, but these only persists until the next reboot/aren't permanent. Make life easy for yourself & flash the Odin version of a rooted kernel as advised in my PP (Use CFRoot if you really want to, just don't do a wipe from CWM while you're running it, wait till you're running a custom kernel before doing any wipes).
Edit - You're welcome, BTW.

sorry if i sound noob but frist time im dealing with Samsung its completly diffrent from Sony
thanks for your help
OK. This is my final post to this thread. I tire very quickly of having to repeat myself.
For the last time...Go to the Siyah threads. Work out which Siyah build you need for the Android version you're running. Get the Odin flashable version of that kernel. Reboot into download mode & flash it with Odin.
Done.
Rooted phone + CWM.
dude sorry but i'v found this
flashing this Siyah-s2-v6.0b4
and now i have cwm and flashed thunder rom

Firstly: Please give more detailed information (which kernel do you use, which ROM did you use before the problem occurred?)
Secondly: It is possible that you can't acess recovery mode anymore when flashing new updates. Happens with CM 10.2 OTA Update right now. The solution would be to flash a new recovery using Heimdall (Open-Source ODIN alternative) [Didn't try that, but should theoretically work] or, mor simple, a new kernel. Dorimany v9.34 is suited perfectly for that. Download here: http://dorimanx.shine.sk/ .

You installed a Kernel while rooting your phone: Its the .tar that you have to put into the PDA section in ODIN. There are Kernels with .tar and .zip: .tar files are only flashable using Odin while .zip files are flashed using the recovery just like you flash ROMs. I guess your Kernel is a custom CM Kernel (CM for Cyanogen Mod). Carbon ROM is probably based on CM. There is currently no other workaround to get your recovery back then flashing a new kernel/recovery. I am currently working on an easy workaround for this problem, but it will take a while.
Dorimanx is downloadable here http://dorimanx.shine.sk/ and should be compatible: Just flash it like you did when rooting your phone in the beginning, just with Dorimanx .tar in PDA. Recovery should work again afterwards.
My mistake: It's Dorimanx, not Dorimany

1. Yes you should
2. Not right now, maybe in the future, flashing recovery.img using Heimdall would probably help, but I didn't try it myself and using Heimdall is quite complex
3. In General: The newest .tar (9.34/8.34) as you can't use .zip files
When you want to use Stock Samsung ROM: Version 8
When you want to use CM/AOKP based ROM: Version 9
Remember: No ICS Support!

I agree, the problem results of the ROM: But you have to flash dorimanx after carbon because carbon replaces the current kernel with its own CM custom Kernel. It should work just fine with carbon when it's flashed after installing carbon.
As the title says, I installed the wrong kernel when trying to root my phone... and now my phone wont boot
unfortunatly I don't know which kernel version I originally had so I'm a little worried that I'll have to spend all night trying every possible kernel version until it boots...
Can anyone suggest an easier way? is there a universal kernel that will get me at least to the menu section?
thanks for looking guys
Can you boot into Download mode? If so, which Android version are you on right now?

If you're interested in a little tinkering, you could try flashing Siyah v6 beta 5 kernel via odin, and see if your phone boots up. Siyah v6 supports JB 4.1.2, and it will replace your current kernel. So, theoretically, your phone should boot back up.
Maybe it was already clear, but just flash the Siyah kernel first, before you try flashing a whole rom. Flashing Siyah might solve the whole problem, and you will have root access afterwards.
