Hi, i want to install cm7.1 on my sgs2. it's kernel is XWKF3 at the moment, so i need to flash it with GT-I9100_XWKF3_insecure with odin first but how to get to ClockworkMod Recovery after? do i need to flash another cf kernel? if so, which one?
sorry for noob questions but i never did it before
Just flash the CF kernel, the insecure kernel is to manually root it without CWM. CF root provides both root and CWM

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.zip
an then install cm 7.1 ?

no good idea: cm7.1 is android 2.3.7, kf3 was 2.3.4 (or 2.3.3, it's long ago )!!!
cm7.1 brings it's own kernel with it, you can just stick with that or use the one from Siyah (a custom kernel which i use at the moment, with cm7.1#84), you can find it in the dev section, search for "Siyah-v2.0beta7-CWM"

He's asking what to flash first to gain CWM, so he can later flash CM7
Flash clockworkx's cwm kernel if you want to flash cm7 using rom manager, otherwise use the cf root version which matches your rom version, then flash cm7 via cwm recovery, may need to flash the zip twice.

Only cm7 kernel or Siyah kernel are the only ones which work, and the stock cm7 kernel is good!

DON'T use the CWM installed by cf root kernel to flash CM7. The CWM that comes with cf root is a modified version of CWM that isn't compatible with CM7 or ROM manager.
For this reason, if you want to flash CM7, just root your phone however you want and then flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 . This kernel will install a compatible unmodified version of CM7 so you can flash CM7 with no problems.
I have XWKI4 with SiyahKernel 2.1.1 and I was wondering if this is possible:
Is it possible to flash another stock kernel on this what I have right now?
Thanks.

STOCK kernel?
Note: check first your firmware if it is compatible with the new "KERNEL" you like
flash other kernel using CWM or odin, just dont forget to wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache for error free smartphone.
Sorry for all people here speaking english, but i will answer this question in another language.

If you flash a stock kernel via Odin, you will lose your custom CWM Recovery, that is unless you flash one of Chainfire's "stock" CF-Root kernels.
Siyah Siyah kernel is custom with CWM Recovery 5.xx
There are a few apps around, including SetCPU that you can use to control your CPU speed, voltages. They have various governors. One I suggest to try for battery saving and general usability is SmartassV2.
SetCPU is free in XDA for members, or if you really like it, buy the donate version from the market for a couple dollars.

hi guys,
i wanna ask you senious guys that,should i have to change the kernel each time if i want to change the ROM of my galaxy s II or any kernel will work with any ROM?
kindly assist me in this matter.thanks.
What type of Rom are you trying to flash?
Most custom roms include a kernel so you you will have to refresh back to your preferred kernel.
Or you can open the zip file and replace the kernel of your choice as long as it matches your firmware version, ie GB kernel for a GB rom etc.

any kernel may not work with any ROMs...almost all samsung firmware versions has got its own versions of Kernel.
In SGS2 normaly custom kernels are used for rooting your phone, like CF-root, whcih are made for almost all the samsung firamware matched kernels, you only want to pick the one matching for your ROM.
It is also seen sometimes advised to back up your Kernel, this can be done using a tool from Market called "Ktool", at a worst scenario, when your installed custom kernel giving you a treble you can restore the previous one.
EDIT : you are already on a custom ROM as well as Custom Kernel. both have got their newer versions alredy.
checkrom is now on V6, and Siyah kernel is now on v2.6.14
Well your still on gingerbread and an early kernel and early checkrom. There are many roms and kernels you can try the best for battery life us what works best for you and only you can figure that out with testing.
Try out an ICS Rom if you haven't done so already and there are now custom kernels for that as well.

I meant the kernel that is already included with the rom when you flash it. So just flash the rom and you don't need to install another kernel after it.
Here is a link to the Resurrection rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Hope this helped you
If you flash a rom it replaces the kernel you've been using with that of the rom you're flashing...
Soooo
Eg cm9 + siyah
If you flash a new nightly it'll replace siyah with cm9s kernel so you have to flash siyah each time.
Think that makes sense..!

Just one short question so I dont do something stupid: do I need to do some kind of procedure or anything before I flash Siyah 3.0.1.? The phone has ALL stock software and settings and hasn't been tampered like this in any way as its only several days old.
Thanks in advance.
bad move. 3.0.1 is for ics rom. You are likely to be on gingerbread.

If you have not installed CWM, you can just install it via Odin. Also make sure that you actually have ICS (android 4.XX) installed on your phone or it wont work.
Just to confirm, you have the i9100? Not the US T-mobile version of SGS2?

Yeah I'm on Gingerbread, all stock. Should I flash 3.0 instead?
And I still dont know is there something to do, some kind of procedure or something before the flashing.
Here it says it already needs to be rooted before the flash...

do not install that siyah 3 kernel if you are still on gingerbread. You have 2 options. Install siyah 2.6.14 for gingerbread, or upgrade your current rom to ICS and then install siyah 3.
So, for example I could go with Speedmod or CfRoot, flash some Ics rom(Miui for example) and then flash Siyah?
If you want to stay on gingerbread and use siyah, use siyah 2.6.14 or lower. If you want to go to ICS, use siyah 3.0 or higher. It's that simple. 2.6.x only works on gingerbread, and 3.x only works on ICS.
just flash recovery

If its brand new and stock, first root (zergrush method), flash CF-Root using odin, get ClockWorkMod (using rom manager from market).
After that you can go ahead and flash any ICS rom but first backup everything.
So backup contacts (I just go to contacts and from menu use export to SD card), sms (using any sms backup app from market), all the apps you would like to save for later use with Titanium Backup (free addition is fine).
Also do a back for your stock rom in recovery (I suppose you can do that even before rooting - but I did it after I rooted and got CF-Root kernel).
Hope it helps.
Thanks a lot!
But doesnt Cf Root already come with CWM?
And is this the right method?

That guy is great, but what's creating a confusion about Siyah is FAQ on his page:
Q: Does this kernel work on XXXXXX-ROM?
A: If the ROM is based on Samsung Stock ICS Rom LPQ or newer, it should. Otherwise, search the thread... If you cannot find any reference to that ROM, try the kernel. You won't lose anything by trying this kernel. Worst case scenario is to reflash your previous kernel or ROM. You can backup your previous kernel with Hellcat's k-tool from the market.
So, I tried with 3.0 on my GB 2.3.4., and it didn't work, so I had to flash old kernel.
The reason I want to use Siyah is dual-boot, which it should provide.
Another problem is that ICS comes very slowly.
Siyah V3 doesn't work with Gingerbread roms. It's an ICS kernel. Try Siyah 2.6.14, that's the GB version (look for the thread in the dev section).
I'm still so confused about all of this and can't decide what to do. In addition, there is no cf-root for my kernel(BOKK1).
From the CFRoot thread "What if there is no matching download ? Try finding the closest match." & "The XX and OXA identifiers are not that important" (in your case the BO).

Siyah Kernel up to 3.01 (which is for ICS as you are already told) up to now does not support dual boot! Its only a placeholder till now in CWM. It may support dual boot in future but not now.
Hi i am running RR 2.6.1 not running siyah kernel currently. However im wanting to flash siyah kernel so I can dual boot running a rom that I can use a MHL cable with.
Couple of questions,
Which version of Siyah Kernel should I flash with RR 2.6.1? Will the latest version be OK?
Which ROM is recommended for using MHL HMDI with my S2? Is stock the best option here?

The latest siyah wouldn't work, I believe. You'd need siyah 4.1.5 or lower to run RR 2.6
As far as MHL is concerned, your best bet would be a stock rom. ICS 4.0.3 is preferable.

Probably coz you're using a ROM which has the new Mali drivers. For that use siyah 5.0
