Hello XDA.
I have a i9300 that is running Siyah kernal and dual booting Supernexus 2.0 and NULL 24.1.
What I would like to do however is revert this back to a stock kernal with the fastest most stable stock ROM out.
I'm not 100% sure in the best way to do this?
Replace the kernal with stock, download the ROM then just wipe the phone before install?
Any tips/tricks/guides welcome and appreciated

Back up your device, flash stock firmware with odin. restore your backup that's all.
Use the back to stock guide, all explained in there.

Im pretty sure you can install the Siyah kernal to Shostock however I would install this Kernal Cleaner http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428530 before you do though.
I would guess if you do your backup through CWM it completely restores the way your operates kernal and all. If your not sure, run the Kernal cleaner.

Yes, you can flash the siyah kernel rc5 to shostock because i did it, and you just have to make a nandroid backup through CWM so in case you want to go back to GB you restore it and you will have your phone exactly as you did before, with your old kernel and everything else.

So there has been a lack of relevant threads that explain my topic issue for me so I have decided to make one for myself and for others in the event that this happens. So right now I am using RemICS-UX 4.0.4 but I wanted to use Eng-matts ergybit 2.3 rom, because I am traveling and I need video calling from skype, but when I tried to flash this rom with odin, instal via cwm it goes into a bootloop. I also tried to flash Ruebens Lewa os since it uses gingerbread as a base, then I tried to acquire the ROM again but I git a bootloop. Sadly I didnt back up my stock rom, so I'm trying to find away to get back to the stock rom so I can fladh eng matts rom again.
So if anyone has anyway for me to get to my stock rom please help

You need to install rj kernel if you have an intl device and entropy kernel for usa device . After you install the kernel you can flash erygit rom. Just replace the kernel
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
maybe you should flash the rom again with cwm and if you get a bootloop just reset factory/cache works for me : )
Go into CWM Recovery (if possible) and flash rumirand r14 kernel and flash a new ROM.
Suggestion: Next time flash a ROM via CWM Recovery, ODIN flashing is easier to brick than CWM, CWM is very safe and you can always reset the bootmode if you're stuck somewhere!
Thanks guys

Hello all,
I am a super newbee in this field ( please dont laugh ) ! I apologise if i have failed to see the solution for my queries in other threads
I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with the following config:
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband Version : I9100DDLPA
Kernel Version : 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913 [email protected]#3
Build number : IML74K.XWLP7
I have already rooted the device with the help of posts on xda. I aspire to put a custom ROM of Jelly Bean in my phone. I have certain questions abt it.
1. Can someone suggest me an apt choice of ROM to suit my current build?
2. will i be able to come back to my stock firmware incase of any problem with the custom ROM. If yes, how ?
3. can i partition my ROM and have to Androids running ? Custom ICS and JellyBean ?
Please help. Thanks in advance.
JB ROMs are still in development stages and need some time to get fully baked.
If you want to try one CM is great.
And you can return back to ICS anytime.
To dual boot JB and ICS you need to flash Siyah kernel.
I would suggest you to flash (install) CM9 for few days. Bcoz its better to be using known stable build for regular use. You will get an idea of what to expect of AOSP ROMS and what are their limitations.
Then you can plunge into exciting world of flashing nightlies (less stable) builds.
You can always go back to default samsung roms if CyanogenMod roms dont suite you. There are lot of custom Samsung rom based roms to choose from with very good customizations.
But before you do any flashing of rom, BACKUP YOUR CURRENT ROM.

No, just flash Siyah v4 (.tar version) via ODIN. v5 also supports ICS but as far as I remember it had some issues.
ok well the kernel I want to flash is the newest for the galaxy s 2 (siyah v5.0.1) so am I ready to flash or is there anything I need to check or do first? BTW is there a possibility I can brick my phone because my mum won't be happy if I brick it
So what bugs does this kernel have that effects ics because im planning to do a nandroid backup then install cyanogen mod 10.1 jellybean?

You can flash it with Odin. Read about it first, so you won't end up bricking it because you've missed something. But if you follow the correct steps you won't brick it.

You can do a Nandroid back up after flashing Siyah. There won't be anything wrong with this back up.

Make sure you dont perform and wipes or cleans before flashing siyaah kernal. Your on 4.0.4 ics which the stock kernal that has the brickbug. I repeat be careful not to wipe, clean or backup anything before you install siyaah kernal. After you have, then its all good mate. Good luck.

Hi guys
I have the following isue, i flashed my phone and I used this kernel
3.0.31 siyah s2-v6.0b5+ [email protected] #177
Now I cant make calls, I can't hear the person who call me and that person can't hear me, the phone radio doesn't work, sometimes the phone freeze specially when I watching videos. The phone doesn't recognize all internal memory. The return and search button doesn't work, to go back now I have to press the home button.
My question is: can I flash the kernel i have installed and install a new one. What kernel do you recommend me for this phone that works fine and what rom 4.2 is the best for this model.
I really appreciate any help.

Your signature says your phone is GT-I9100, but this is the forum for SGH-I777 AT&T version of Galaxy SII. Which phone do you have?
I have an i777 from at&t, after i flashed the kernel the phone model changed from i777 to I9100, but it is an i777 from at&t
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Did you flash only the kernel, or did you also flash a rom?
What version of the operating system, and what rom are you currently running?
The kernel you flashed was built for the GT-I9100, which has a different hardware configuration from the SGH-I777. You should flash a kernel that was built for the I777, probably AJK, but answer the above questions first before I suggest which one.
First I flashed the kernel and installed the siyah one, then I installed a different rom. I had before 3.2 and then I installed 4.1.2 rom. Can you recommend me a god kernel for the I777 and a good rom if it possible 4.1.2 or 4.2 . I really appreciate your help.

You appear to have flashed the GT-I9100 stock XWLS8 full package. Most likely you flashed the I9100 boot loaders with it. You also have an I9100 modem. I'm guessing that you flashed the I9100 siyah kernel afterwards. Your I-777 will not function with that firmware. I am surprised it even booted into system.
First, double verify that you are working with a SGH-I777 by pulling the battery and looking at the label in the battery compartment. After verifying that you have an I-777, you should flash the AT&T version of stock 4.1.2, I777UCMD8 full package which you can get from the download repository.
If you are unsure of anything, or have any questions, please ask before proceeding.
If you want to root and install a custom kernel, or install a custom rom, after getting your phone working again, we can point you in the right direction.
Thanks for your help, yes I verified and it is an i777 from at&t.
A have some questions:
1- I need to flash the kernel first and then install the new one?
2-can I install a 4.2 rom with the kernel you recommend me? I really like to have 4.2 on my phone.
3-how I get rooted after do that?

No. Flash the I777UCMD8 full package from the download repository first. It contains the complete firmware, including stock kernel, stock system, an AT&T modem, and the I777 boot loaders. You can do any modifications after you return the phone to full stock 4.1.2.
3-how I get rooted after do that?

I am answering this question next, because it is the next step after flashing the stock firmware. To root, you should use the Framaroot application which you install on your phone. Use the Aragorn exploit. If the latest version doesn't work, download and use an earlier version, like 1.4.2.
2-can I install a 4.2 rom with the kernel you recommend me? I really like to have 4.2 on my phone.

Once rooted, you should use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin Pro to install a custom kernel containing ClockworkMod Recovery. With this stock firmware, you would use AJK v4.9 No Swap.
After downloading the kernel, open the zip file and extract the boot.img. Use that to flash in Mobile Odin. After flashing the capacitive buttons will not work, so immediately reboot into recovery and flash the full AJK v4.9 No Swap package in CWM.
4.1.2 is the latest version of stock firmware available for the I777. If you want the Samsung Touchwiz interface, that is the latest you can get. Anything available 4.2 and above will be AOSP based. You can look in the I777 Android Development forum and the I777 Ported Development forum to see what is available. They all flash from ClockworkMod Recovery.
Ok man thanks, I'll do that, after that I'll let you know how everything goes
