Copy the flashable file to your internal storage and flash it from internal storage

That is stock recovery isnt it?
If it is. Download siyah 5.0.1.TAR version off gokhanmoral.com, youll have to scroll down a bit.
Then find a guide for using odin. Flash the kernel and you will be able to flash a rom from recovery then.

when i started with flashing and rooting, i had this same problem.
i think u put the .zip files on your external sd card.
if u connect the phone to your computer, u see something like internal memory, and external memory.
i suggest u place the .zip file on your internal sd memory.
afther that u should be able to flash the zip the way u tried before.
i hope this will help.

Try to put the .zip-file in your internal storage. It works much better than the previous advices that say the exact same thing.
Don't hate me please^^

Try rooting ur device using odin!! always the best method to root the device.. jus download siyah kernel for ur version of the android OS n flash using odin.. the methods r everywhere in the forum!

Flash the proper CF root kernel four your ROM with Odin.

Maybe we should all tell the same thing, but with some small changes in it '
@OP: try to root your device with Odin! And try another kernel than Siyah or CF Root! Why..? Just because you can!

[Q] From custom ROM to STOCK

Hello there!
Im new to this forum! Nice job with it!:fingers-crossed:
I have an SGS2 and yesterday i flashed it in Ressurection Remix v3.1.1, it has already Siyah Kernel!
My question is.... I need to get back in stock version... in ICS 4.0.4 as i get out of the box....
How could i do this?
I need the stock rom and something else??? or i need only need to flash stock rom....
Thanks buddiez!
Easy Go to here
Download the stock firmware for your region from sammobile.com (or any stock firmware, really) and flash it via Odin.

If noobs on xda have taught me one thing, its that smartphones just aren't for everyone.
I should download firmware (Greece (Cosmote) 2012 August 4.0.4 I9100BOLPM I9100COSLP9 Download)
and i ll go in download mode, connect it via odin and put into PDA box and start flash???? and thats all?? or i ll brick my phone?
Well if thats where you are from then yes that should be it.

No. It won't brick as long as you don't wipe data while on a firmware affected by the bug. Just try to avoid using stock 4.0.4 firmware to steer clear of the emmc brickbug. For more info on that look in the general section.

so thats my problem......... you mean not to get back in stock rom?????? or stock kernel???
My steps to get it in stock place is to flash it only with stock rom????
Sorry about my bad english.... i may dont understand some things.... thanks for your patient...
Ok easy now. If you want to go back to stock firmware just use your current siyah kernel to wipe data and cache Aka factory reset. When you have done that just use odin to flash the firmware You should not brick your phone

but the recovery mode still the origin I want to root my phone and have changing
on recovery mode like added wipe dalvik and all other things...
please help me... ​
I don't exactly understand what you mean but if you want to permanently change your recovery, I suggest you flash a custom kernel like Philz kernel or Siyah
I think your cwm zip file is a temporary recovery which is not very safe.

Yes, I understood mate. U need a custom recovery called ClockworkMod (CWM). It has those options and allows u to flash custom roms.
Since ur on JB, to get CWM recovery, u need to flash a custom kernel like Philz or Siyah. Try searching for them.
Feel free to ask any doubts u may have after searching.

Ah, so you want to install a rom, lol, well friend all you need is to do is flash a custom kernel (most custom kernels have permanent custom recovery) and reboot into recovery using the buttons and then do as your rom instructs you to, if you flash latest Philz kernel you will get a recovery with touch support to play with.

Flash Siyah or SpeedMod or Philz Kernel !
kernel for S2
Dear Senior member,
does Philz , siyah work with any rom (AOSP / AOKP).
or they are designed to work with specific roms only.
I'm using Supernexus 2 build 4 but siyah v5 doesnt wotk on it dori makes my phone over heated
Dear junior member,
What does the supernexus threas say regarding this matter?
Siyah v5 works with ICS, siyah v6 works with JB (doesn't perform well tho).

[Q] Custom Firmware Install

Hi, Im new here.. so hello to everyone...
Ok I have an unbranded open S2 GT-i9100. Firstly I wanted to know what phone i have from the baseband version and build. see below.
Baseband: I9100XXLQ6
Build: IMM76D.XWLPT
Secondly i want to put Biftor v8 on there. Fed up waiting for samsung to realease on kies.
How do i go about it? do i need a kernal to match my build and do i have to root before installing Biftor or can it all be done at once?
Any details would be great. thanks.
Root it, wipe it and flash it. If you want to know how: feel free to search and read on xda Guides aren't there to ignore you know.
Thanks I appreciate the fast reply. However my question wasnt really answered. I am happy to root, wipe and flash it but my main consern is what kernel i need to root it. Do i need a kernel that matches my current version.
If so is my version XXLQ6 or XWLPT
Thanks...
If ur gonna flash a CF kernel to root, look up the kernel version in ur About Phone page. The baseband version is not relevant here.

If it works,press thanks

Hi again, so I did some searches. Apoologies for not being thorough first time round. And i discovered how to root. and i also discovered im in a prime position to hard brick. insane chip and 4.0.4.
so i think i need to change my kernel to siyah kernel or similar. Will i then be safe to install biftor etc? if so do i wipe cache etc when i install biftor. Will moving to siyah kernel remove risk of hard brick when restoring / wiping.
thanks
Siyah v5 or Mobile Odin for stock ROMs.

Yes, flash a custom kernel first, that matches your android version (4.0.4 -> Siyah v5 for example).
Then you'll be safe to flash custom firmware. Follow the instructions on the first page of Biftor's thread, then you'll know all you need to know

[Q] Seriously messed up by Galaxy S2

Unfortuntely I have messed up my UK Galaxy S2 I91000G.
Id successfully rooted using this method and installed Neat ROM.
Happily used this for a while and then decided to play and installed Blazing kernal
The problems then started. It simply booted to the Samsung S2 screen and hung. I couldnt get in to Recovery mode.
Got it in to to Download mode and despite trying methods here Im not getting much luck. I can flash a kernal using Odin. Tried official ones and CWM and they install fine. The phone reboots and I get to the Galaxy S2 screen with the yellow warning triangle.
However whenever I try and flash a ROM it fails. Tried official ones from the fixit thread plus others. All the same outcome.
Is there a bootloader I can try or anything else I can do before I trash it?! Any help much appreciated.
So....flashing a kernel is a pass and flashing a ROM is a fail?
That's a new one.

Oh. Thats not good news!
That does seem to be whats happening:
Flash a kernal - Pass and phone reboots and I get the S2 screen with warning triangle.
Flash a ROM - Fails and back to "Firmware upgrade encountered a problem. Connect phone to Kies."
Flash a kernal again and back to S2 screen.
Any ideas?
Yes, can you get to CWM?
Don't worry, you're alright.

Cant get in to CWM no.
Can only get it to get in to Download mode.
Tried a couple of different PC's and cables but assuming as kernal flashing works, that isnt the issue.
And you are flashing I9100G stock ROMs right?
Check your model under the battery, G version in the UK? Weird.
While you do that download another ROM, maybe the ones you got are corrupted.
Sent from the little guy
Install syiah kernel and try to get into recovery. Then use wiperom script or go to mount and format everything (/data, /system etc). Then go to download mode and flash a system.
First thing check if syiah kernel is compatible whit your phone.

So the one comment that made me realise what a complete noob I really am was "G version in the UK? Weird."
So that was the basis for all my woes. I had ventured in to the I9100G section when I have I9100.
Downloaded the stock ROM for I9100 and all back up and running.
Mucho thanks to gastonw for his quick responses and patience for those of us just dippping their toes and not reading what they should.

[Q]Phone stuck while transfering files PC > S2 (via USB)

So I got kinda unpleasant problem... I was transferring files from PC to my phone via USB and it got stuck (phone), PC was still showing disks of phone but I was unable to do anything with them. The only way to wave my phone up was hard-reset (removing battery) and after the last hard-reset phone had stuck on the boot screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But I can still enter the Recovery.
Any ideas how to fix both this problems without making changes to phone and microSD card memory (I just can't change it).
Btw, I'm using CM 10.2 20131117 Nightly
P.S. I attached photo with errors which I got on PC when phone stucks
You can try re-flashing your ROM again first, without doing any wipes. If that doesn't help, go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache, fix permissions, then reboot and see. If that doesn't help, do a factory reset.

One guys said that this file transferring stuck happens because CM Kernel is bugged and this stuck can be avoided by not allowing phone screen to "sleep" (I think there is a setting for it) while transferring files - is it true?

The stock Cm10 kernel and also slim kernel has got some mount issue's when using 'USB Mass storage' mode, hence its advisable to use 'MTP' mode instead
If ur able to enter recovery mode then u can reflash the rom and see, if not possible to go to recovery then just ODIN flash 'Stock CM10' kernel if one is available or else u can use the 'Philz' kernel to flash through ODIN and use its recovery to flash a stock CM10 Kernel Zip file

I changed connection type from USB Mass storage to MTP, but now my phone does not connects to PC at all - what the hell? :s
P.S. I can't reflash rom, because I need to keep my phone memory safe for a while :|
@GeoPrey One thing I can think of is a dirty flash, I've done this before.
Just go ahead and wipe the Cache and Dalvik then flash the phone with the rom again.
No Factory Resets or w/e.
Not entirely sure if you still keep your text messages though.
But everything else is a go-a-head.
You can also push files through ADB in recovery if you have the Android SDK installed.
