Hey, i have an I9100 from Claro (BR), and i'm running Siyah kernel + Sensation ROM (4.0.4).
I'm willing to update from ICS to JB, but:
1 - I cant use my recovery to flash any JB rom, and
2 - If i flash a JB recovery, my phone wont boot either to OS or recovery.
What should i do?
Thanks.

Why can't u use your recovery to flash JB?
And from where did u get a 'JB recovery'?

I've read somewhere here that there are specific recovery's to JB and ICS. And when i try to install some JB rom (like CM10.1) i got an "Status 7" error.
Just flash the latest Siyah/Dori kernel for ICS then, and ur good to go.
Since ur on 4.0.4, I suggest u read about 'eMMC Brickbug' too, just to be careful.
AFAIK, Status 7 error could be because of a corrupted download or trying to flash the wrong ROM for your device. Please check both.

Use odin to flash siyah 5.0.1.tar off gokhanmoral.com, then proceed to wipe system. And data/cache and then flash your desired jb rom through siyah recovery

Hi there,
I have a I9100 which was running the samsung stock Android 4.0.4 on the 3 network in the UK which I installed CWrecovery on and rooted. I downloaded an official update via the system update function yesterday and continued installing the update not thinking the root would effect anything, however the the install got stuck on the install screen (like the image attached) while constantly flashing on and off every 3-4 seconds, I pulled the battery after and hour or so. When I power on now it just shows the samsung sII logo along with the triangle and then goes straight back to the android install screen, I also can't go into recovery.
What would be the best thing to do in this instance? would re-flashing a recovery program work?
Thanks for any help!
Whatever happens, DO NOT WIPE DATA OR DO A FACTORY RESET! 4.0.4 is prone to the notorious eMMC brickbug!
Try downloading the new firmware manually and flashing via Odin.

Is there a method for rooting stock jellybean on the I9100? can I use the same tar file and method as I did with ICS?

U mean using CF Root kernel to root?
For JB, u can root using a custom kernel like Siyah, using Odin. This will install CWM recovery also and give u root access.
Or u can try the Universal Method to root without installing CWM recovery.

I used CF root and odin last time, any advantage to using Siyah, or Universal Method?

Universal method is intended for those who only want rooted stock firmware, but donot want to flash custom ROMs (no CWM recovery).
Some people have reported issues with CF Root for JB, so Siyah is an alternative. I don't think there are any particular advantages.

Are you concerned about the BrickBug?
Don't worry mate.. that only affects stock 4.0.4 firmware with stock kernels.
Just follow the OP's instructions on Turkbey ROM thread.

CM kernel is a custom kernel, and brickbug only affects stock kernels. So no worries..
But if u still aren't convinced, u can flash Philz safe kernel, and then flash Turkbey.

HI,
Galaxy s2 i9100, stuck on "Samsung galaxy S II gt-i9100" screen, unable to get into recovery.
The problem occurred after updating CWM recovery from rom manager.
What can I do?
Should i try flash stock rom via Odin? Download mod still reachable.
Or should i try flash recovery?
comming from wanam 14.1.
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Which version of Android is Wanam 14?
Since u cannot enter recovery, flash via Odin is ur only option. I don't think flashing a recovery would help..
I have heard many people warn against using ROM Manager with i9100.

Siyah v4 is not compatible with JB 4.1.2. Siyah v6 is.
If you cannot get into recovery menu, try flashing Siyah v6 beta 5 kernel via Odin. Then try to enter Recovery.

Yup, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache in CWM and flash CM10 and then GApps zip. Then reboot.
If you still get into a bootloop, it could be an issue with the CM10 nightly. Check for corrupted or broken file. Or download another nightly.
Good luck!

Are you sure its bootlooping? The first boot usually takes time.
Try doing a data, cache and dalvik wipe again.

i had some issues with siyah kernel and cyanogenmod 10.1,
what helped for me was trying another kernel ( dorimanx kernel v 8.13 ) in combination with cyanogenmod 10.1
i cant find the download link for the dorimanx kernel v 8.13 maybe someone could post it here for you.
http://www.get.cm/?device=i9100 here u could find the dorimanx 10.1 firmware

Mate 8.13 is not for cm10.1 its for stock/custom 4.1.2 , cm10.1 is 4.2.2 right kernel is 9.13.

That wouldn't be a problem here mate, because when flashing CM10, Siyah kernel is replaced by the stock CM kernel.

Isn't that method for ICS instead of JB? You can look for a guide that tells you the steps with Odin (in other words: flash a custom kernel with Odin to give you root access).

There is no custom kernel for stock official yet and as i know the root operation the same for all OS and devices right ?

Of course there is. Otherwise nobody could use rooted JB-roms. Look for Siyah for example.
Yes, as far as I know the steps are the same.

It does work for JB, but unfortunately u require an external SD card for that.

However, I recommend you flash Siyah v6 b5 kernel via Odin.

No way without an sd card.
Siyah is a custom kernel, but its good too. If you want to root with a stock based kernel, use Philz kernel.
U said u have I9100, right? Or is it I9100G?
Siyah doesn't work on I9100G.

That's a really big mistake mate! If you had done anything related to the I9100 on ur device, you would very well have bricked it!
Both have differences in hardware, and hence use different kernels and ROMs.
