Hey guys I am new to android, and I need some questions answered before I go and start modding/flashing roms. Thanks in advance!! So here they are:
My questions.
1: okay cool, so I've successfully rooted my gio. Awesome, but now I would like to flash cyanogen mod 7.2 or the beta cyanogen 9, but I need clockwork recovery mod. In order to do this i need to place it on the root of my sd card. But how do I properly partition it?
2. I also need to install clockwork recovery mod before I flash a new Rom for my gio. In the thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650). It mentions something about the ext4 partition and rfs roms. I think it said if I don't have it I have to apply the patch. I am not sure what those mean nor which apply to me. (I am using stock gingerbread 2.3.4)
3. I am interested in overclocking and changing cpu settings for speed and good battery. But I have heard that it may not be supported by stock kernels. So if I do flash cm7 or cm9, does it automatically flash its own kernel that allows that to be done? And if it does, will it be built in so I can do it from settings, or do I have to download the application from Google play?

1. take the app rom manager, the free version from the play store, grant su when asked and install the CWM recovery..
2. never heard of??
3. i think there is already a customer kernel installed, if not, just download one from youre devices xda side and for overclocking you can use the Rom Toolbox or the normal cyanogenmod settings
have fun and dont forget to thank
Thanks alot! So I do not need a special Version of clockwork recovery? Like the one from this thread? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650). Sorry for the dumb questions, I just dont want to brick it! And i also looked at the rom manager desciption and it says i need a clockwork compatible kernel first?
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
link for the official clockwockmod recovery.. just go down the list until you find samsung galaxy gio and yes i think if you install the recovery via rom manager their shouldnt be any problem
.. the link you wrote is another recovery.. which one is better, id dont know got a nexus no gio
Hey everyone and Merry Xmas
I am new as i said before in all android world "coming from iphone jb and mess"
i got Galaxy s2 i9100G OS ics 4.0.3
i wanted to put jb rom on it Revolt one or whatever is good and stable now
so here what i know so far and should do
1st i learnt i must Root my device so i can add any rom
and to do that i must Download Odin then put my device in download mode and flash clockwork v 6.0.2.1 or something
then reboot my device
and put it on clock work mode then flash rom i want
is what i said correct ? or am i missing on anything and is just flashing clock work v 6 is equal to meaning of rooting my device ?

i actually did
all it says if you coming from stock
just flash clockwork via odin when your device in download mode , reboot
then open clockwork recoverymode
then flash the rom after you put it on your internal card reboot
and ofc in middle the wipe data and resetting factory settings stuff
but i read many things about rooting n here n there made my confused
for example this topic

That's funny, because no where on post 1 of Revolt ROM is ClockworkMod mentioned. But you mention it twice.

I guess post 1 of Revolt ROM DOES link to this guide to root an I9100G, which DOES mention ClockworkMod. However, this also contains very clear and concise instructions.

If coming from a Samsung Stock ROM:
1-Read this article on How to root your Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G (Link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679778
2-Wipe Data
3-Wipe Cache
4-Wipe Dalvik-Cache
5-Format /system
6-Flash ROM
7-Wipe Cache / Dalvik-Cache
8-Enjoy ReVolt ROM !!
that's whats said .. and what confusing me is not all steps is 1st one which is rooting .
in some videos it doesnt in clude to talk about root.zip
and other guides doesnt say anything about it , is that normal ?
you can alway watch a youtube rooting ics vid while keeping xda on another tab.
sometimes it is better to graphic something that you read.
let us know if you pull it off.

There are literally dozens of ways to root your device. It's pretty simple, dude. Follow one set of directions. Don't worry about other directions that are not the same. Hell, the guide linked in the first post of Revolt ROM has three options just in that one post.
I think you're getting confused because nothing explains where the root access is gained.
It is contained within the custom kernel which also gives you clockworkmod. Cwm is a custom recovery that has many more features than stock.

I recently picked up a GP 4.2. I immediately got it rooted so now I'm running a 2.3.6 stock rom with root. What's the next step in terms of getting a recovery installed and maybe moving up to an ICS or JB rom? I've kind of poked around a bit but it's some what confusing with all the other types of GPs in the same area. Does anybody have a recovery and rom they'd recommend? Is using rom manager to push CWM feasible?
I would recommend the ChaOS ROM/Kernel which includes CWM. It is one of the few available ROMs for this device right now but offers a lot of great features. You can also install an S3 or Jelly Bean theme with the ChaOS ROM. Here's the link to the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279806. I do not believe using ROM manager to push CWM is feasible on this device. Also, CM7 will most likely make it on to this device very soon. I would recommend watching for that in the near future. I know it can be a hassle trying to weed through the Galaxy Player forums to find 4.2 information but it's all we've got. Hope this helps and welcome to the SGP 4.2 community!

Thank you for the info Meta. I'm somewhere around the mid-high mid level with flashing and rooting but slogging through trying to find the right info for a GP 4.2 was getting a bit hectic. I think part of it was the way some people abbreviate the model compared to others. I just wanted to make sure I didn't brick the device.
I got it mainly for a perm, in-car music and GPS/navigation provider instead of always looking to my phone to do it. One thing I noticed about the rom, it mentions installing it via CWM. If I don't have CWM yet, can this rom get pushed by odin or do I have to get CWM first and then flash the rom?

Do you know if CM will come to the 3.6 as well? And from what I understand, to get CWM on the 3.6 you have to flash a custom kernel?

Yes. Those instructions are correct. However, you do not need to run the adb dev tool like the person does in the beginning of video in order to boot into download mode. You can just hold the power, home, and down-volume button to boot the phone into download mode before using Odin. Zaclimon's CWM kernel can be found here (along with the wifi fix): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198444 and installed with the instructions in the youtube video.

From what I have read I know that SerkTheTurk is currently compiling CM for the 4.2. I would imagine either him or some other 3.6 dev will take up the task of CM for your device. And, the answer to your second question is yes, you do have to flash a custom kernel similar to how the 4.2 requires a custom kernel.
Hope that helps.

Ok thanks. I also have a question regarding flashing kernels. In the linux world (and other os world), randomly changing your kernel is a big no no that would lead to major compatibility issues. I don't understand how people can mix and match kernels, roms, firmware, bootloaders, recoveries and everything else? There won't be conflicts?
Regarding the kernel available for the 3.6: what do I do if I encounter stability issues with it and, say, the upcoming CM7? I wouldn't be able to go back to my original kernel because I didn't have CWM to back it up in the first place. Won't I be stuck with a potentially faulty kernel?

In changing kernels in the android world, you have mixed results. There are times a kernel can cause some issues but for the most part (we're talking like 98%), if an XDA dev posts a kernel and lets you know you can use it, you can trust it. These devs no matter the device spend painstaking hours ironing things out. Also, many of them have a select group of people testing the kernel for faults and issues. In a very active community, if a well known dev posts a kernel, you can trust it. HOWEVER...no matter what we think or believe or what we're told, every device is a unique and beautiful snowflake. Back up back up back up BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP your stuff. If you want to be super ULTRA safe, take the back up and download it to your PC or somewhere safe.

Just flash the cwm kernel because its basically the stock kernel but with cwm, and it shouldnt brick but if it does you can flash the stock kernel back again

Ok thank you. However, will this work with YP-GS1?
But about kernels, on the webpage where I downloaded the stock rooted rom http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=166 it says specifically that the Wifi module in system and kernel must MATCH. This is what I'm talking about in regards to kernel compatibility with roms. How do I know if a kernel I'm downloading will have changes applied to it that will work with another rom like with this stock rom/kernel?
Well in order-I used odin to flash CWM. Once it rebooted, I saw the Galaxy SII boot anim. Used Rom Manager to have it boot to CWM. From there I flashed wifi fix, the rom and then the mod pack. My build number is gingerbread-ueld3. From what I can tell, I think I'm all done. At first I was like hrmmmmm. Doesn't look much different. When I hit the toggle bar though, I could tell it had changed. The process was all very simple after I got headed in the right direction with CWM. That was my only confusing start point for this.
Edit-my bad. The rom didn't take on the first flash. I could tell by the build number. Reflashing the rom and the s3 addons. Hrmmm. Might be boot looping. It's going through the comet and coming up to the white samsung, vibrates a few times after a bit and goes back to the comet with no sound.

I haven't actually flashed anything with CWM because there doesn't seem to be any good roms for the 3.6 unless CM7 comes out sometime.

Poop. I think I bootloped the sucker. I can use Odin to reflash the stock, rooted rom just like I did when I got it first rooted right? Do we have another rom for the 4.2 I could try flashing? Not sure why it has bootlooped. I even went back into CWM, did a factory reset, flashed only the rom (no addons) and same thing. Possible bad download? It is flashing from the internal SD as my CWM is not seeing my external SD.

I have been meaning to post this on the dev thread for awhile. I thought this problem might only be for certain people but I think it applies to US and maybe non-EU devices. I believe that the ChaOS ROM will bootloop on US (YP-GI1/XAA) devices if you do not install ChaOS's Enhanced Stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279450) for whatever reason. I spent days trying to install his ROM and bootlooping.
The way I successfully installed (if I remember correctly):
-Do a factory reset of rooted stock ROM
-Boot to CWM (meaning you have already flashed the custom kernel) and install ChaOS's Enhanced Stock (put all install files on internal SD)
-Boot to CWM, wipe davlick cache under "advanced", wipe cache partition, and install the ChaOS ROM
-Wait a little while and your device should boot up properly
I hope this works for you. If it doesn't let me know and I can help you further. If this does work for you too then I will post this on the ROM's thread for other users.

SerkTheTurk said it very well, you do not need to worry, but if you also want to do a backup before you install the custom kernel you could use the adb tools on the computer to backup the device. I'm sure you could learn how to do that with a quick Google search.

ell there's not really much point in backing up the kernel when I've already downloaded it on my computer.
I've since flashed KingOS rom and don't really notice any differences at besides a few color changes... what's all the hype about?

Xen-it seems GPlayer development is still fairly newish. the work you see from devs now are all ground work. For the 4.2 and 3.6, they seem a little less dev populated than the 4 and 5. People will build upon the work of early devs and eventually get kernels that can OC and maybe ICS and JB roms. At this stage, we likely won't see anything like ZOMG earth shattering until people spend time with the devices. Seems Serk is on his way to doing the best he can for 4.2 but I am not sure who is tackling 3.6
It's weird how roms for devices go. I learned this when I had a tbolt and shockingly saw a FUNCTIONAL JB rom for my old Eris while the tbolt was still hanging back in ginger land with not even a really good ICS rom let alone JB. I asked the Tbolt community-why? How is it the dinosaur Eris has JB and not us? It all depends on what the devs can do with the sources provided. Sometimes certain hardware points are sticky. you can have beautiful JB rom for a device that can't talk to the camera if the hardware source isn't made available (reference the HP TP for many years)
For now, flash what you're comfortable with and and learn what you do and don't like. Also learn if you want to play things safe and not experiment or take on potentially beta builds. For the tbolt, tackling an ICS rom was too dicey so I never did. On my new Rezound, I eat up JB roms as they are in much better shape
Ive tried installing the 4.4.2 ROM Achidroid N7000 on my phone using TWRP but it skipped the MD5 check and said "Installation failed/aborted....". I then tried an AOSP 4.4.2 ROM but it said the same error message. After that, I gave up and tried to use the phone. When it booted up, it froze on the Samsung logo and wouldnt boot up completely. Ive tried doing a FDR through the custom recoveries but still the same thing happens. I really dont know what to do. I have an i9300 under 4.3.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I dun think archi developed any rom for the N7000. At least I didn't see any when googling. But if you flashed a N7000 rom on ur phone, even if u finally unbrick it, I bet there will be some hardware issues.

HI,
I have a galaxy player ( YP-G70CW - international ) that has had an Eryigit Rom installed for quite some time but it has never been very stable for me and constantly crashes and freezes! last week i decided enough was enough and i have decided to try some of the newer roms out now but for some reason i cant get anything to install from CWM recovery, i just get install aborted and error messages.
From Reading through the forum i have seen a few times that my ClockworkMod recovery v5.0.2.7 maybe outdated but cant find anyway to upgrade to Clockwork Mod v6.0.4.4 on the YP-G70....
Does this sound like my problem? is there an updated version of clockwork for the GP5.0? can any of the newer roms be installed by Odin? i have no issues installing things from Odin, should i be using Odin to upgrade to something else before i go to a 4.4 rom?
any help anyone can give me would be amazing, thanks in advance guys and girls

I have a galaxy player ( YP-G70CW - international ) that has had an Eryigit Rom installed for quite some time but it has never been very stable for me and constantly crashes and freezes! last week i decided enough was enough and i have decided to try some of the newer roms out now but for some reason i cant get anything to install from CWM recovery, i just get install aborted and error messages.
From Reading through the forum i have seen a few times that my ClockworkMod recovery v5.0.2.7 maybe outdated but cant find anyway to upgrade to Clockwork Mod v6.0.4.4 on the YP-G70....
Does this sound like my problem? is there an updated version of clockwork for the GP5.0? can any of the newer roms be installed by Odin? i have no issues installing things from Odin, should i be using Odin to upgrade to something else before i go to a 4.4 rom?
any help anyone can give me would be amazing, thanks in advance guys and girls
Kezzy

The thing that most people don't understand about recovery on the player 5.0 is that unlike a lot of other devices, recovery is in the kernel image. Ipso facto: flash a new kernel, get a new recovery.:good:
If your trying to get to KitKat, I suggest that you install an android 4.3.x ROM first. Make sure to read all of the dev's installation instructions and notes before flashing...:good:

Thanks very much for the reply, thats great information to have, I thought that would be the case but couldn't find anything in stone if you know what I mean.
anyways, no matter which kernel I install the CWM recovery seems to be the same, which kernel should I be installing, I have rj's custom kernel r14 right now, any suggestions?
Thanks again
