What steps should I follow? Do this look complete?
- Reboot to recovery
- Wipe data
- Wipe cache
- In recovery chose "install zip from SDCard"
- Chose the NottachTrix ROM file
Thanks!!!

If you still want to have all your apps and don't mind if it doesn't work as it's supposed to, you could try a dirty install and only wipe cache and dalvik, not a complete factory reset. This usually works if you stay on the same android version (or upgrade) but does not if you go from blur to cm or vice versa.
But again, a clean install is always better (but we are lazy, aren't we) and there is no guarantee that everything will work
Edit: oh Jesus Nottach is blur, yeah then forget about the dirty install xD...

just flashed my S2 via that:

Harder way:
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery

but after I chose reboot it still is in the yellow triangle screen and nth is hap.
(more than 10 min)
that cant be good?
can I reflash via Odin?
If you can put your phone in download and Odin connects, yes you can try a stock kernal.
Go into CWM
Wipe data/cache
Wipe dalvik cache
reflash the CM7 zip.
wipe dalvik cache just worked awesome!!!

@veyka
figured it out myself and already posted it
(but not in this thread)
Im using a galaxy s2 with Lite'ning rom (android 4). But i couldnt resist the MIUI UI (android 2) so decided to change to it. I placed my zip files in the internal storage and reboot CWM to install the zip. But to no avail, my phone gets stuck in boot loop twice. so im wondering is it because of the different android version that my phone refuse to boot? How can I overcome it to install MIUI?
Thanks in advanced
Did you do a full wipe?
- Reboot in CWM
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Flash MIUI.zip

here is the best way solve ur problem as this has happened to me as-well,
first thing is download the stock rom form sammobile.com, then flash it using odin and then re-root and install CWM then install Miui Rom, if ur still stuck in the boot-loop then do a full wipe, if still stock, then try a deferent miui rom customized here is whet i have in my phone and its amazing and fast and batter saver for me,

Im currently using ver1.0 Pro but cannot seem to download any other versions after that.
I tried even Infinitum Project, i cant seem to get it pass the start screen.(meaning before the boot animation). Similar when flashing RR ver1.1 onwards
I think i cannot go anywhere after android 4.0.4. I am only able to flash back to v1.0 (Android 4.0.3).
what could be the problem? help?
can u explain the process you followed for the installation of the other roms after 1.0?
oh sorry.
For the RR Pro 1.3
full wipe
installed rom
reboot.
Infinatium project,
Full wipe
installed rom
installed gapps
installed themed gapps
reboot.
I would usually just follow the instructions that are given.
sorry too I were configuring my cellphone, just flashed to the 1.3 and works fine...
sometimes my sd card give me problems and I remove from the device, maybe it's not your case...
and additional to the wipe, I wipe the dalvik cache, and then install the rom.
In the roms in wich I got troubles with the start screen or rebooting its because the baseband (LPQ in my case) and I'm serching foward about these thing...
sorry about my english, but its not my native languaje
can anyone please help.

Apart from asking the dev i suggest a full wipe and clean flash may cure the usual Kernel Panic .

If you just relax for a minute , take a deep breath and start from the beginning. Listen to what people are telling you. Follow step by step from the beginning. Read what the developer says on flashing the rom and then it will work. Almost impossible not to get the rom working after that. It will all come together mate. Read a lot of posts. Good luck.

Hi,
I'm currently using the RR ICS v2.6 on my phone with a Iron Man lockscreen MOD.
After I flashed the new RR ICS v2.7 ROM, my phone can't boot up. It just stays at the screen with the Sieya kernal logo.
I flashed the ROM two time. First time I didn't wipe data/ factory reset. Second time I followed exactly what the instruction said. But both of them failed.
I had to flash back to a Stock ROM in order for my phone to boot up.
Anyone can help? I can't reply directly to the thread in the android development because I'm a new user.
Think this should be in Q&A section, however did your do full wipe. also try formatting system ect from mounts and storages in recovery. I'm no expert just helping

hi, thanks for your reply, but i want to make sure what the exact issue it is before i flash it again. I was so scared when my phone cant boot up as i thought that i bricked my phone.
If you don't mind, can you help me link this thread to the RR thread in the Galaxy s II android development?
Still no one can help?
It seems to me that most of the people that successfully flashed v2.7 are from v2.6.1. So, I'm thinking of updating my v2.6 to v2.6.1 then flash the v2.7. However, I can't find any download link for v2.6.1.
NVM, I found the download link for 2.6.1
It is actually in the RR thread but I just didn't recognize the links under "google drive" or "dropbox" or others are download links before.
yah I updated my sgs2 to rr 2.7 rom now.
Here's what I did:
-I first have v2.6 installed on my phone
-go into recovery mode
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-NOTE: I didn't Wipe data / factory reset
-flash v2.6.1 from SD card
-go back to recovery mode after aroma installation
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-reboot and I now have v2.6.1 installed
-go into recovery mode
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-NOTE: I didn't Wipe data / factory reset
-flash v2.7 from SD card
-go back to recovery mode after aroma installation
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-reboot and I now have v2.7 installed
I'm now thinking about changing my kernel from siyah to dorimanx. Can anyone give me some pros and cons about these two kernels?
I have a P7500 with Overcome v2.3.1 installed, and I want to install the Stock ICS rom from this topic.
What is the better way to install it? Can I just flash it over my current rom with recovery? Or do I have to flash it with Odin? If possible, post a link with the better procedure.
Thanks!
Just flash it in recovery.
Make sure to wipe completely. Such as cache, dalvick, factory reset.
The typical procedures when installing a new ROM.
Installation Instructions
Download ROM and put on SD Card (Obvious but it must be said)
Boot into CWM Recovery and perform a FULL WIPE!!! (Wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, and then wipe dalvik cache!!!)
IMPORTANT!!! YOU MUST PERFORM THE WIPE PROCESS BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM!!!
Flash ROM
Reboot!!! Done!!!
