Okay, so after I flash the CM7 kernel, everything's fine. But then when I flash CM7 RC4 OR AOSP Nightly builds, /system does not mount, Neither does /cache probably.
CM7 I tried with both kernel 2.1 and 3.0, and AOSP with only 2.1.
It shows "Ërror mounting /system!"
So, where am I going wrong? Pretty much followed the instructions clearly, yeah. And pretty sure the zip's are downloaded properly.
And, ODIN is the only fix for me.
So, please, any ideas?
Thanks!
Do you format /system, /data and /cache before flashing the ROM? Even if the ROM does it itself, format these before flashing
I don't give a f*ck from where I sent this from.

just try to flash my thread files "ALLinONE unbrick files for galaxy gt-s5830i" (if you phone is the same).
then, try to do it again, just read more carefully. Mabye your firmware is not compatible with this ROM/Kernel.
Only one problem i had with my files is cyanogen mod 7.2 newest version - my device didn't boot. But when i flashed rom based on cyanogenmod 7.2 newest version - it worked. So, don't give up

Yeah wiped everything, and yeah, I know about ODIN, been there, done that. But the problem is why can't I use the ROMs?
I have the 5830i not m or c.. Broadcom chip. So where's the problem? I wiped everything except sdcard ofc, and then mounted everything too, all from stock ROM, and CWM 5.0.2.6 I suppose.. And also the kernel flashes okay-ly, and /system mounts after that also, but just as soon as I flash CM7.2 RC04, it doesn't mount anymore.
So what do I do? On stock ROM ATM.

Reboot recovery after formatting /system, /data and /cache. Then flash the rom. If the error still appears Reboot Recovery and flash the ROM once again without going back to stock.

I had the same problem when I was trying to flash Biels BroadcomCM 7.2...
Although I don't remember the exact problem, I think it had something to do with the CWM recovery I was using.

for the one who knows...
I'm trying to install stock rom on 2nd rom(with Siyah dual boot) but i keep getting stuck at bootlogo.
Here's what i did:
I'm running ParanoidAndroid latest version and Siyah latest version
I created the 2nd rom in CWM
I cloned 1st rom to 2nd rom(succesfully)
Then i flashed the original stock rom with Mobile Odin and the i get stuck. It reboots and gets stuck at bootlogo. I flash Siyah kernel trough PC Odin and it starts up but i still have PA on both sides.
Anyone knows if it is possible what im trying to do?
Thanx in advance and sorry if its in the wrong forum,
0. Format /system, /data, /cache and delete .secondrom folder from internal sdcard
1. Flash stock FW with Odin
2. Flash Siyah Kernel
3. Enter to CWM
a) clone 1st ROM to 2nd
b) format /system, /data, /cache of 1st ROM
c) Flash Paranoid as 1st.
It should work.
Thnx for the answer but that's the other way around(starting from scratch)
I know for sure that way wil work but i wanted to avoid formatting and just install stock as 2nd rom.
Allready tought about it but i was wondering if there was an other way so that i dont have to install everything all over again.
I think you can't do this w/o format.

Umm, if I'm understanding correctly, you installed the ROM- CM10, that is- and/or kernel via Odin. CM10 and the Mercurius kernel are zip files (.tar, .pit and the like are for Odin, not zips...if I understood correctly).
You want to place the ROM and the GAPPS zips on your actual SD card. Make sure the SD card is working properly. Reset and go to CWM (Power+Vol up).
Then, accd to the instructions on the CM10 page:
"Installation:
Reboot to CWM
Make a Nandroid (optional, but recommended)
Format /system if you had a different GApps package installed
Install ROM
Install GAPPS if you just formatted /system
Wipe data/factory reset if you are coming from Gingerbread
Reboot
??? (wait a while...)
Profit"
I'd say make a backup before doing any of this, but I'm assuming you're beyond that point....But before going on to CM10, it might be a good idea to recover your device first and back it up. Maybe flash a GB rom via CWM or Odin before proceeding to CM10, making a backup just in case...
Ok

would he have to flash the kernel first, though? I'm unfamiliar with rjs, but am assuming that rjs version of CWM would be identical to entropys version of CWM, which means that he could just flash the CM10 ROM since it has the kernel baked in.
When I upgraded from Chip -> CM10, I just flashed via CWM, upgrading both the ROM and CWM in the process.

the post is old that's why it is saying to install V3.
But V4 is better than V3 and resolved many bugs and have faster bootup.
So my recommendation is to use v4 rather than v3
Thank you for your kind replies. The only trouble is that with v4 of the kernel my phone won't boot the ROM. It always gets stuck on the boot screen (while displaying its name Samsung GT-S5830i...". (Sorry, I forgot to mention that in my previous post...) I was hoping that with v3 I could manage to boot.
However, I might have some hardware issue. I bought the phone a few days ago for next to nothing with a shattered display glass (still usable) and immediately rooted it and installed CM7.2 RC4 without having tested the phone thoroughly on stock ROM...

Fix (Not official but worked for me)
After flashing the kernel mount system and date, then flash the rom.
Then do not reboot.
Again mount the system then again flash the rom.
Then reboot. (Your Problem is solved)
If your problem is solved please reply.

The flashing of CM Specific Basic Kernel v4 takes less than 5 seconds in my case. It seems more like 2 seconds. I tried several times and it definitely is shorter than 5 seconds.

No, I did not format in ext4, I followed this guide:

and formatted /system, /data, /cache to RFS before flashing the kernel and then the ROM. The reason was that after the first install I was not able to download anything from the Play Store. The procedure described in the post seemed to have solved the issue.

Thank you very much for the great instructions. Just one question: I have permanent cwm recovery which I got when flashing the bieltv.3 v4 kernel for the first time on a stock phone trying to install -- I believe -- Slim ROM CM7.2. (Actually, I don't remember which guide I was following exactly.) Will your method work now that I already have a permanent cwm recovery or should I go back to stock ROM or stock recovery and then follow your instructions?

The good news: It worked! Great!
The only difference I made was to install the fix for the app store first and then the gapps package for CM7.2. When I did it the other way around, I had no play store on the phone.

Hi All,
I recently updated my stock i9100 to CM11 M11 and I want to check if I have done all the steps correctly or if I have missed any steps out.
I first copied these four files onto a micro sd card:
PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1-signed.zip
If you are following these instructions then use the correct PhilZ kernel for your stock kernel version. This is explained in the linked post.
ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.5.1 - Recovery_CWM_6.0.4.7_I9100.zip
Cyanogen Mod 11 M11 - cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-i9100.zip
Google Apps (Small) - gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
Then I:
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power)
Install PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.06.1-signed.zip
Reboot into Philz recovery
Do a full Backup including the Preload folder by using the Custom Backup feature
Install ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.5.1
Reboot into CWM
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced>Wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and Storage>Format /system, Format /cache, Format /storage/sdcard0, Format /boot
Install cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-i9100.zip
Install gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
Reboot and all done.
Optional Step: Flash a newer modem,
Download XXMS4 modem - modem_XXMS4.zip
Copy above zip file to SD Card
Boot into CWM Recovery and flash the modem zip file
Reboot
I found that the above newer modem slightly improved call quality and mobile download speed.
Note: Do not change RIL.
Have I done everything correctly? Have I missed anything?
I do have two issues,
When I tried - Mounts and Storage>Format /preload - it didn't work. I can't remember what the error was but it woudn't format the preload in CWMR
Memory only shows up as 791MB in About Phone.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
You did well. More than enough.
No need to format partitions, so just ignore the error.
Memory reported is usable memory. It is ok.
Have fun with the new rom.

I had been putting off installing a custom rom and living with my laggy stock because I thought it would be tricky to install CM11, turned out it was quite simple one I figured out the correct instructions.
I'd advise anyone it give it a try!
When you have time give AOSP NeatRom a try. Is is based on Slim Rom and is the one I use.
Here is the link: [ROM][Sep 25][4.4.4] I9100 AOSP NeatROM.

Is it easier (and just as good) to use CyanogenMod Installer to install CM on the i9100?

Your question was already an answer for me. I always prefer oldschool ways though they are harder. Followed your steps and... voila... Now I'm fast and stable. ??
But I was kinda curious whether it is really easier to install CM with their installer app. ?

Thank you @LeroViten, I'm glad that those steps also worked for you. Also now that you have confirmed that it worked for you I am also happy that I have done things correctly, so thank you for that!
Not too sure about the CM installer, but I didn't use it because I wanted to be sure of all the steps I am doing because of the i9100 kernel bug that can hard brick the phone.

Hi,
I also just got a laggy SGS2 from a friend of mine.
And I want to reset/flash the phone in order to give it to my mother, which ROM do recommend CM11 or any other ROM (MIUI ?) ?
I would prefer to have something stable.
For CM, I saw that the last stable img was for CM10.
Thanks in advance.

An additional optional step I recently did was to flash a newer modem (don't change the RIL).
I found this slightly improved call quality and mobile download speeds. The modem I flashed was XXMS4.
i have good signal and pretty ok call quality, however, it heats up moderately when using the internet..near the camera, i think i had this problem on stock rom also..signal is good full bars outside. but i wud give the modem a try n I'm completely noob on this topic..what is RIL and how do i flash this? can i flash using cwm? also can i back up my current modem? and changing modem cause any damage to phone? ty oldgalaxy, this m11 rom is good, no need pc, no need root to install it, perfectly fine procedure
WiFi always on on battery status
I'm new here and also decided to leave stock ROM how ever my battery is draining in 4 hours.... And I checkd battery status and WiFi is shwoing activity all the time but is of.... Can anyone help me?
Also if I turn the phone off and don't use the WiFi it doesn't show activity on battery status
Sorry for my english
Thanks
I am ready to install...
I downloaded all the required things to try your steps. I will try it tomorrow.
I just want to know if I need to upgrade the modem or leave it as it is? Kindly confirm.
Thanks,
Sadiq
Hi everyone, I have a serious problem about my GSII.
so first of all, when CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightlies come, I am excited to flash it.
but after i download it and flash it. it seems ok. on recovery (CWM Kikat compatible) while it installs, it says
Detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 which is /system right?
and
Detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 which is /data right?
then it shows
Script succeeded (0.200000)
after that i wipe the data and cache and the dalvik and reboot
after rebooting. its ok, no problem at all.
now i go back to recovery (cyanogenmod recovery, so it changes) and flash PA GApps Mini Package, (yes i have it one i did'nt delete the last PA GApps)
so... after flashing i forget if there is an error or something. but after i reboot. it stuck on Samsung Galaxy SII logo. (NOT A BOOTLOOP)
after that i decided to revert it to stock rom but it did'nt work. i don't know whats happening but i think because of the PIT Mod. i use the PIT Mod to install Bigger GApps on unofficial cyanogenmod 12 by Lysergic Acid. so i think this is the problem is the Modified PIT file.
Can someone help me to Fix my problem? Im very thankful for the one who helps me.

If you can boot to download mode(volume down +power+ home), then follow this tutorial to restore your phone: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/samsung-galaxys2-i9100-unroot-official-jellybean-firmware-460777
Then root your phone and flash the kk recovery and flash the ROM, GApps. Cyanogen Recovery is having hell lot of problems.
Regards.
