Need to flash a new kernel - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my galaxy s2 with jeboo kernel and installed jelly bam rom v7.6 Android 4.2.2. Everything is working fine. But I found out my kernel doesn't support few overclocking apps.
I want to flash siyah kernel v6 now. I prefer Odin method. Can I flash a kernel in the same way now? Does it affect my rom? Do I need to back up rom and apps and re install them after installing a new kernel? Is siyah jelly bean rom compatible with all custom roms?
And which is the best kernel considering overall features?
Thanks

U can try the latest Dorimanx Kernel which does support OC (overclocking) or UV (undervolting) for u

Why odin? Since u already have custom recovery, flash it using CWM.
Flashing a kernel will affect ur rom, but not ur apps or data. So u do not need to re-install rom or apps. But a backup is always recommended.
If the kernel is not compatible with ur rom, you may get stuck in a bootloop. Siyah has different versions for different roms. v6 is not completely supported for 4.2.2 roms. Choose Siyah mcm v5 vsync kernel or go for Dorimanx.
To ensure a clean install, use a kernel cleaning script before flashing the new kernel.

[Q] Flashing a kernel and turkbey V12 rom

I am having some concerns whether the Siyah v6 kernel and the turkbey v12 will be compatible on my SGS2 GT-i9100 running the 3.0.31-CM-geecea2b kernel and AOKP rom with android version 4.2.2. The baseband version of my device is I9100XXLPX. Also, when doing this process, do I just flash the kernel using odin then upload the turkbey rom to my device and run it?
Thanks in advance. Also if you need to know anything else, just ask.

Turkbey v12 should be compatible for the I9100. It also comes with Siyah kernel bundled inside it. So you dont need to flash another kernel.
Siyah v6 is for Samsung JB roms. Turkbey v12 is ICS 4.0.3. It will work but is not necessary. Siyah v4 would be better.

I didnt understand. Why flash using Odin when you already have CWM recovery? Siyah kernels can be downloaded as CWM flashable zips.
You can flash Turkbey rom in CWM recovery too..

[Q] flashing kernel + PA: will it work?

hello. I'm on stock 4.1.2 (XXLS8), and have root (got it with that method of flashing update.zip through stock recovery). now I'd like to get ParanoidAndroid. afaik, I have to have CWM to install it. so, is it possible to flash siyah kernel (it includes CWM, right?) through mobile odin, and then flash Paranoid? I don't really care about which kernel I have, so maybe there are also easier/better ways to achieve what I want? thanks.

Yes, it is possible. And after flashing PA, u will end up with the kernel in PA Rom, and not the siyah u flashed.
U can also use temporary CWM zips (available on xda) to flash PA. Then u can skip the step of flashing Siyah kernel.
Backing up ur current rom is also a good practice, in case u end up with problems after flashing...

Recoveries are linked to kernels. So u would get whatever recovery comes bundled with the kernel of PA rom (u can find it out from the PA thread). :thumbup:

Siyah - Dual Boot - Black Screen?

Not sure if i'm doing something wrong, essentially when i try to dual boot with siyah kernel 5.0.1 i just get black screen, if i boot my stock ICS it's fine, i've tried a few ROM's (all JB) and they all just black screen when trying to boot, turning off and back on and going into primary is fine - am i missing anything obvious?

well if its the early JB 4.1 based rom u can Dual boot using siyah 5.0.1, if its newer than that (4.1.2>4.2.1>4.2.2) then siyah v5.0.1 will not support the same, and u will get black screen on boot

That may be the issue, Its CyanogenMod 10.1 i'm trying which i assume is based on 4.1.2 or earlier, out of curiosity is it just a dualboot scenario that is unsupported. I.E. if i flashed with CM10.1 just on its own with siyah 5.0.1 it would work?

Do remember that CM10.1 isn't fully supported by Siyah v6.0b5 for now and u might face issues.
Better to install CM10.1 and stay with the stock Cm10.1 kernel that comes with it to get better results

Apologies, Won't CM 10.1 just run on top of the siyah kernel? or by flashing to it will it replace the kernel with its own

[Q] Galaxy S2 Adventures Log and Queries

My Phone Stock Info
Samsung Galaxy S2
Model : GT-I9100
Android 2.3.3
Baseband : I9100DDKE2
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE8
Build : GingerBread.XWKE8
Note: Kernel changed after rooting.
I started my journey on the custom rom and custom kernel after two year i just wanted to share my journey and need your help where i am feeling a bit confused.
1~3 April 2013
Was on Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3
Rooted it using Proper Insecure Kernel via ODIN 1.83 + S2Root.exe
Flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4 via ODIN 1.83
Took backup of rooted rom using CWM 4.0.1.4
Took backup of everything using TitaniumBackup Pro to externalSD
Currently : On a happly rooted Gingerbred 2.3.3 Stock + CWM 4.0.1.4 :good:
I have downloaded several ICS and Jellybean Roms specifically made for the S2 and i would like to esp try the JB Custom Roms.
I have also downloaded stock roms for GT-I9100
ICS 4.0.4 Stock GT-I9100 [For India]
JB 4.1.2 Stock GT-I9100 [For Nordic Country as the one for India is not there]
Queries
Scenario 1 : Update Gingerbread Rooted To JellyBean Custom Rom [4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2]
My query is can i directly flash the ICS / JB Custom Roms to my rooted [Gingerbread 2.3.3 Stock + CWM Recovery 4.0.1.4.]
using CWM Recovery
Query for Flashing Procedure for the the JB Custom Rom
[Very Important and i am super confused and stuck here]
Will it flash the respective JB Custom Rom [be it 4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2]
OR
Do i need to first install Stock JB Firmware/ROM for GT-I9100, Root It , Install CWM and then Flash the JB Custom Rom.
Query for the Flashed JB Custom Rom
Will the flashed JB Custom ROM have the root
Will the flashed JB Custom ROM have the CWM Recovery
Do all Custom Roms have its own kernel
Do all Custom roms also have CWM Recovery or will flashing a new Custom Rom install a new updated CWM Recovery or i will have the same CWM 4.0.1.4 no new CWM Recovery will be there.
Can i restore my GB backup TitaniumBackup Recoverydata to the new flashed JB Custom Rom
Scenario 2 : Downgrade from Jellybean 4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 Custom Rom To Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3
Is this possible ?
Note
I already mentioned that i have taken ClockWorkMod Recovery Backup of my rooted Gingerbread 2.3.3 can i directly use that to restore the Gingerbread backup while i am on a JB Custom Firmware. I can restore the rest of the data using my backed up data in Titanium backup.
I also have downloaded the Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Rom for my phone can i flash this while i am on JB Custom Rom and go back to Gingerbread Stock.
Thank You for your Patience :good: and any help would be great.

1. You can flash the custom JB ROM directly via CWM (no need to flash stock JB). Just be sure to do a full wipe (factory reset) before you flash JB.
2. Yes, custom ROMs are rooted, and have CWM recovery (some may have TWRP recovery). They have their own kernels too. Ur current kernel and recovery will be replaced by those in the Custom ROM.
3. You can restore ur Titanium backups to the new ROM. But I would not recommend restoring system app data. Also, some restored apps may not work properly.

Yes, it is possible to downgrade to GB, either by flashing stock GB firmware, or restoring a CWM backup that you made.
P.S. Official stock JB firmware has been released for India today. And do not flash ICS 4.0.4 (there is risk of eMMC Brickbug issue).

Hi Neo.
Thanks for all your answers.
And i will keep this thread updated with my journey.
Heading to download the stock JB rom for India just for archival purpose.
Will take a backup of the CFA folder in the root directory just for safety purpose.
Stock Roms are supposed to be flashed using ODIN [PDA] and
Custom Roms can be flashed using CWM Recovery right ?

Nope. Factory reset only deletes user data like downloaded apps, contacts, messages, call history, apn, settings, bookmarks, calendar, etc. Formatting SD card or external SD would delete ur CWM backup.

Log April 4 2013
Jellyback 5.2.0 and Back to Gingerbread 2.3.3
Installed Jellybam 5.2.0 (JB 4.2.1) successfully
The JellyBam Rom had its own ClockWorkModRecovery 6.XXXX , took a backup of the installed rom.
It was eating my battery like anything, also the external memory card was no more in the original path "sdcard/external_sd".
It was sort of draining my battery at super speeds.
Lucky for me it has Clockworkmodrecovery after taking a backup i restored back the old Gingerbread Rom and prayed that it gets restored.
Back on my Stock Gingerbread for now.

Now suppose if some rom has TWRP will i be able to restore my CWM Nandroid backup using it.
Also If some rom has TWRP can i replace that with CWM somehow ?

Brickbug is only for STOCK ICS 4.0.4 firmwares with STOCK kernels. Once u switch to a custom kernel and CWM recovery, u can be safe.

I would want to stick with Custom Roms having CWM Recovery only.

You need CWM to flash custom ROMs as well as root.
You can get both by flashing a custom kernel.
Which custom kernel? You can find suggestions all over Q&A.
You ca. use any custom kernel with a custom ROM but It'd be wise to stick to the dev suggestion, on the custom ROM thread.

DL and flash from your SD card Philz 5.00.4 XWLSS (fixed) kernel and custom cwm. This will also root you.
Then you can flash from international memory whatever custom rom you wish.
