[Q] Flashed Wrong Kernel? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
i was very stupid today...
I flashed my kernel and didn't write down the original kernel version....
I can get into download mode and CWM.
The device starts until the yellow triangle and then its it...
Now i am not sure which is the right kernel for me to get my device back started.
It's a german phone, not brandet and i baught it in august 2012.
This is the Product Nr: GT-I9100RWADBT
Dont know if i can do anything with it...
I tryed
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_DBT_LPI-v5.5-CWM5
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 and
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5
but all didnt worked for me.
I tryed the search, but i didn't find anything close matching mine problem yet.
If there is i am sorry is didnt saw it yet.
Gretz from germany.

My Phone did the official Samsung update to 4.1.2 the last week.
So it runs 4.1.2 and its a i9100

OK forget about this kernels go for syiah5+ or dorimanx 8+ they give u root and some customization this 2 kernel are most worth flash kernels but personally I would go for dorimanx remember on stock 4.2.1 use 8+ not 9+ good luck

Baseband is your radio/modem. You can flash in recovery another. Just find that is best for you!

hello,
2 month back i brought unlocked i777 from ebay. It got rooted and unlocked with Android version 2.3.4, baseband i777UCKH7 and kernel version 2.6.35.7.
It got super user app (so i think its rooted). But the CMW is not installed. i checked in recovery mode (it show some android recovery).
So now i m thinkin of installing the latest AOKP ROM (with siyah kernel) but not sure wat to flash first.
should i root again first (root + CWM) then install AOKP. then change the kernel.
or root then kernel then AOKP ?
also i m confuse which root method should i use for installing CWM in gingerbread .

Please make sure you're running a safe kernel otherwise you'll brick your phone.
i read that guide thread .. as my phone got Superuser, i m using the Mobile odin method [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081].

Install kernel with cwm.
Boot to recovery and install aokp rom
Done
Every rom install contains a kernel that works with the rom. Doesn't matter what you had before.

When you flash the custom kernel with CWM, you can then user CWM to flash whichever ROM you wish. I.E. AOKP

> need help before i risk flasing my first rom <

This is my first post and i was wondering if people could answer some questions i have.
First off heres my phones specs
Samsung galaxy s2
Model number
GT-I9100
Android version
4.0.3
Baseband version
I9100XXLPQ
Kernel version
3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505

Build number

I've rooted my phone using rachmat3 method and thats how far i've got because only just got phone as a gift and im scared to flash a new rom incase i brick my phone.
Is it safe to use the cwm.zip to flash a rom that i used from rachmat3 root method or do i need a updated version of cwm?
Can someone recommend a fully working paranoid android rom that i can use for daily use?
Which kernel would be best to use with paranoid android rom?
Should i flash a kernel before i flash a rom?
If i install paranoid android rom would i then have a permanant cwm on my device or would i still need to use my temporery cwm.zip?
What is the chances of me bricking my phone?

Flash what ever rom u want till its for GT-I9100
No need to worry
Just read the specific rom instructions carefully
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes mate now u can flash any Rom ....Just read the instruction before flashing
I would advise you to flash a safe kernel first before doing any wipe and flashing any roms. Siyah is a safe bet.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
1. Download ROM Manager and you'll be able to flash any ROMs you wish using that.
2. All the PA versions are working fine, so just browse through and choose for yourself.
3. Asking questions like that is against forum rules because they often lead to arguments. The best advice is just to download and flash different kernels and stick with which ever one you're happy with.
4. It really doesn't matter in which order you flash them. The result is still the same. I personally always flash the ROM first, but it doesn't make a difference.
5. If you use ROM Manager, as mentioned previously, even if you have to do a full wipe when flashing a different ROM, it doesn't matter because you can simply download it again anyway. Or just save it to your SD card.
6. The changes if bricking your phone are higher if you're worried about it. Just be sure to read all instructions given about installation and follow them perfectly and you'll be fine.
If after reading about flashing ROMs you are still worried, then you're better off waiting for a bit until you've done more research into what exactly is needed.

Thanks for your replys.
just follow the steps mentioned and follow some video (like on youtube) and it'll be easy!

Why don't flash custom kernel and use real CWMR?

Most ROM zips include kernels, so if somebody wants to stay with the same kernel, then it's necessary to flash custom kernel again.

I just mentioned ROM Manager from personal preference to be honest.
I've always used it on my S2 and never had a problem with it.

You will need a pc if for example you flash a kernel and somethings not right.You cant get cwm, only download mode.
That happened to me when I flashed a siyah kernel.Phone was stuck and I couldnt boot into cwm.Only way to fix was boot to download mode and use odin/pc.

Some questions regarding root...

Hi all, (this is my first thread)
I wanted to ask a couple of questions about which I am confused...
I am currently running stock 4.1.1 on rooted international galaxy s3..
Q1. Is there anyway I can get 4.1.2 OTA Without unrooting?
Q2. I am not sure whether the country I bought my phone from has got the update yet... So is there anyway I can check that...
P.S I got my phone from dubai..
But I live in India...
Thanks.

Give a try to the temporary unroot option in the superuser app...
Not guaranteed to work...
Download stock rom through sammobile.com and flash through odin only...

If you already have CWM recovery why not use CWM to flash a custom 4.1.2 rom thats based on Stock firmware (like Android Revolution HD)?
Thats just as easy, has more support, rooted and you'll have future updates faster as well.
I already downloaded omega v34 but didn't flash it because people have lot of issues with it.. Lag, random reboot etc. Stock rom will be more stable I guess..
I haven't tried revolution though...
I'll try it now..
Any other rom you recommend?
Thanks!

I had the same experience, Omega had loads of launcher redraws and sudden lag. No such experience on ARHD with Perseus kernel. That kernel now even has the exynos exploit fixed.
Nope, all other roms i've tried i never used more then a few hours.
Can you give me a link to the ARHD page?

Yeah, everytime you flash the stock image, you'll have to root the phone again... but so what?? I have my mobile sine 8 weeks and i think i flashed it 10times now, and lots of custom-rom installations, configuring the phone etc....
It's not a hard work, you just have to read carefully BEFORE you start rooting, modding or whatever. This forum is awesome and till now i really found an answer to my questions everytime without bothering the ither guys with a question that is already answered a thousand times just have to use the search... so, good luck and have fun with your rooted mobile. By the way, i recommend the Omega-ROM for galaxy S2 and S3, the guys are.doing a great job with their ROMs. If you own a S3 LTE (i9305) i recommend the Pandoriam ROM, works best for me

Haha.. Thanks buddy.
Btw, I am not new to rooting, I have flashed at least 15 rom's on my old phone(galaxy ace)
But I was not a member of XDA then.. I just used to read....
But since s3 is much more expensive I wanted to be absolutely clear about the smallest of things...
Because with great power comes great responsibility.

A couple of questions

Hey everyone, I just bought a used unlocked Galaxy S2 I9100 and I've been reading guides all day long about rooting, roms, flashing etc.
The phone came with Ressurection Remix and Siyah kernel, here are the full details:
Model Number
GT-I9100
Android Version
4.1.2
Baseband version
I9100XXLPX
Kernel version
3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v5.0.1+
[email protected] #6
SMP PREEMPT Sun Nov 11 12:25:24 PST 2012
AOKP version
M1
Build number
Resurrection Remix JB v3.1.2 by Westcrip
The question is how do I go back to the stock kernel and stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ? A lot of guides around here talk about backing-up your phone but I guess that doesn't apply to me since I don't have any apps/contacts ?
If I want to install a different kernel do I just apply it with Odin over the current one or do I have to uninstall it first ?
I might have more questions later so bear with me as I don't want to brick my phone...yet :laugh:
