[Q] Phone won't boot after flashing kernel - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the supernexus 2 rom and i'm trying to flash dorimanx kernel.
After flashing the kernel and after i get the dorimanx logo the screen would turn black and it won't boot.
i tried the same with different versions of dorimanx kernel and also siyah kernel but they also do not work.

What does the people in the supernexus thread say?
Stick with the kernel the dev posted for the ROM.

They was able to flash the kernel without any problems, i don't know what's wrong with my phone.

Go back to whatever kernel it suggesed in the OP and try Dorimanx again.

Can you get into recovery? If so, mount your sd card and load another ROM, flash it, don't forget to factory reset, wipe cache, dalvic. Good luck

I did go back to cyanogenmod kernel which is the main kernel for this rom by using a backup.
I still can't use dorimanx kernel.
I need it for the battery life optimizations.
If it won't work i might go to CM rom or aokp, but i don't need all of the customizations they offer.

I know this sounds dumb, but have u tried wiping cache, dalvik and fix permissions after flashing Dori?

U mean Dori 7.5? That's for ICS right? Super nexus v2 is JB 4.2.2, isn't it?

Stuck at bootloop after nandroid restore

So today i felt like restoring a previous nandroid backup i made a year ago. i was on 4.0.4 stock+siyah and wanted to go to jelly bean if im not mistaken (cant remember for sure tho). Thing is i tried to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, but still, i cannot get rid of this bootloop. any ideas ? thanks
PD: id prefer not flashing a stock rom with odin nor restoring back to my other backup if possible
That may be what you'd prefer, but think about it logically given what you've already tried/what hasn't worked. You don't have any other option.
Am confused..
Is the OP trying to restore 4.0.4 or is he already on it?

Since solving the bootloop is more important now, I suggest you do what MistahBungle said..
Flash a stock JB firmware via Odin, then if bootloop is overcome, you can root it and restore your JB backup.

Brick bug only affects 4.0.4 firmwares.
Yes, you may proceed using Philz CWM recovery.
Just do a full wipe before flashing CM.

It doesnt really matter as long as u wipe..
But since ur gonna wipe it anyway, why not wipe before flashing (to get a clean slate for CM)?

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.
Update:
Just re-read ur post now. There is NO STABLE CM10 got the I9100!! Are you sure you downloaded the right ROM?

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
Good Luck
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.

Thats better! Always mention some stuff you tried or read, so that we feel you have tried to search and failed.
You can flash Siyah or Philz kernel.
Or if u don't want a custom recovery, use this guide:

According to you , which kernel will you recommend for my phone ? Siyah or Philz or Dorimanx or Jeboo or any other which i am not aware of ..Maybe you've tried many kernels and roms so you have basic idea about that stuff

Sorry, but recommendations are not allowed on this forum. I suggest you try and see which u like.
To be honest, it doesn't matter which u choose, because once u flash a custom rom, the kernel will be replaced.
If ur really confused...
Philz - same as stock, but improved custom recovery
Siyah - custom kernel, more features, more tweaks
Dorimanx - based on siyah, heavily tweaked and tuned
Jeboo - haven't personally tried, but I think its a tweaked stock kernel

Maybe the downloaded rom is broken or something. Try downloading from another computer or an Internet Cafe. If possible, verify the checksum of the rom to see where it's broken or not.

Status 7 error arises usually when you are trying to flash a rom not meant for ur device. Are you sure you are downloading the rom meant for the I9100? Because some roms are available for multiple devices.

I have come across that status 7 error when being on certain kernels ( not dori though) but came around it by flashing philz kernel then rebooting recovery and flashing rom. Have you tried with another kernel or another version of dori? Hope you get it sorted out GL.

I tried Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.32 on flashing rom. For now im able to flash rom from ANDROID ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT section. I noticed those scripts dont have ASSERTS.
But ROMs from ANDROID DEVELOPMENT has ASSERTS, even editing i can not flash...
Can you suggest a kernel which is suitable for problem.
What is your current rom.? Chameleon OS rom (4.2.2) or Chameleon 3.0.3 (4.1.2 hybrid). Are u sure your kernel is dori and not the stock from your rom. Sorry if I ask obvious but just checking. Maybe try flashing philz kernel and the rom. Read up first. I am sort of a noob so don't want to mess up your phone. Good luck.
