1. Download Siyah kernel .tar Odin version here: www.gokhanmoral.com/
Siyah kernel comes with touch recovery, so you can simply do without any hardware button once you get to the recovery.
2. Download QUICK reboot here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&feature=search_result
-You will need the app once you have ROOT access to boot to recovery.
3. Download any custom ROM of your choice. Also read the flashing instructions
4. Flash Siyah kernel via Odin
5. Use quick boot to reboot your phone into CWM recovery
6. In CWM recovery,
- Backup your present ROM
- flash the Rom following the flashing instructions on the first post of the ROM's thread
- flash Siyah kernel again
- reboot phone
Done.
Notes:
1. The guide above will only work for GT I9100, I9100P, GT I9100T and GT I9100M
2. The tutorial will not work for GT I9100G

I am sending in my i9100 for service and I need it to be completely stock.
Anyway, I was reading up on some guides and it looked like the easiest way was to use Triangle Away and then flash a stock ROM via ODIN. I got my SGS2 in Sweden, so I will be using a stock ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Anyway, I haven't used my SGS2 in around 2 months since I got an S3. It's running a very old version of ICS AOKP, Ressurection Remix I believe, with CM9 kernel. I had Siyah kernel flashed previously as well. The whole EMMC bug is kind of confusing it to me. If I just make a nandroid backup, wipe data, then flash stock I9100XWLPX in ODIN, will I have any issues, or will this get me completely to stock without bricking my device?

If you are sending your phone for service under warranty then it's better you follow this steps:
1. Use triangle away app to reset binary counter : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
2. Visit Sammobile and download the firmware for your country : www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Registration is free.
3. Extract the firmware from zip file and Flash the firmware via Odin
Your phone should not be bricked if you follow the instructions

Thanks! So if you do not mind me asking why only flash the firmware and not the entire zip file in ODIN? If I wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data in CWM, and then flash ONLY the firmware in ODIN (via PDA) will that completely install the stock ROM?
Also, I leave F Reset Time and Auto Reboot checked, right?

Hi, beloved developers
I recently try German version ICS 4.0.4 on my S2G. It works done but it wasn't write Arabic so I changed it to Pakistan version 4.0.4 as it read/write Arabic.
I don't wipe data from recovery mode, I just make factory reset before and after installing the "Official Rom" - as I don't try to flash a custom rom till now because I'm afraid from it - from the phone setting.
BUT, I read a topic which made me panic which was about emmc check. I downloaded the program from google play and run it and "Yes, Insane chip" appeared, Then I try XDA tool too and " danger" message appeared.
Now, I can't wipe data from recovery mode and can't flash a custom rom or any thing from RM or what (Safe or not?).
Please, What's the solution?
I want to flash a kernel what is the appropriate kernel to my phone, and Is it break my warranty or not?
Root or unroot my phone? your opinion please?

But what about the first part of the question about insane chip
You don't need to worry about the insane chip if you're completely stock. Wiping/factory reset won't trigger the bug. If you flash a custom kernel, make sure that it has that bug disabled.

Thank you
please correct me if I'm wrong
Can I wipe/factory reset from recovery mode without problems?
If I flash an official rom there is no problem?
What about custom rom?
What will happen if i root my device with this bug? (by the way if I root, I can unroot and phone warrenty is back?)
How can I disable this bug?

1. You can wipe / factory reset in Stock recovery only. You can also wipe your phone by going to Settings > Backup & Reset, instead of booting to Recovery. Nothing bad should happen
2. Yes there is no problem
3. If you want to flash custom ROM, it's better you flash a safe custom kernel first before messing with the phone
4. Nothing bad will happen if you root your device only. However, If you wipe, create or restore backup in CWM recovery while running the Stock 4.0.4 kernel, then your phone will be bricked!
If you want to unroot and claim warranty, it's much better to flash back the stock ROM.
5. The best way to avoid this bug is by doing one of the following.
a. If you want to stay on ICS 4.0.4 stock firmware, then don't use CWM recovery at all!
b. If you want to flash custom ROM or want to you use CWM recovery, then it's better you flash a safe custom kernel first
c. Downgrade to ICS 4.0.3 firmware

Thanks,
I'm sorry for my lots of questions.
- I understand that (CWM) is a custom recovery can be flashed by odin and it delete the original phone recovery mode and this CWM may brick my phone under android 4.0.4.
- I understand that if I wan't to flash a custom rom I should use CWM recovery and to use it I must flash custom kernel but official kernel is dangerous. then I can flash any custom rom and wipe data from CWM recovery.
- Is stock rom is any official rom? or where can I get it?
- I understand that the bug reason is from 4.0.4 kernel and if I downgrade to ICS 4.0.3 the bug will disappear.
- In my Case what is the appropriate kernel to avoid this bug. and appropriate root ?

1. Yes. There are temporary CWM recoveries too, which will not DELETE the stock recovery but overall, you are correct
2. Yes
3. I don't understand this question
4. Yes
5. Read my comprehensive answer below.
After going through All the kernels available for your phone (GT I9100G), these are my conclusions and recommendations
1. All custom kernels available for your phone are not fully compatible with ICS 4.0.4.
If you flash any custom kernel,
- Your phone may/may not boot
-Your bluetooth will not work!
-Only one custom kernel with the above bugs is safe for ICS 4.0.4
2. If you only want to ROOT your phone, visit this thread
Only method 2, is recommended for your phone. You will be safe if you don't wipe, create/restore backup in the temporary CWM recovery. Just follow the instructions
3. If you want to flash custom ROMs and kernels, then you have to first downgrade to ICS 4.0.3 firmware, then ROOT with any method in the link I provided in 2.

Thanks for your time
You in post # 6 told me if I want to re back my phone warranty I have to flash a stock rom. This stock rom is any official rom or what is it?
So I will re flash ICS 4.0.3 and root my device as you said then I can flash any custom rom to my phone based on any android version 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 with no problems.

i understand your question now.
If you want to totally unroot your device to claim warranty, then visit Sammobile website, download the original firmware for your country, then flash it. This will fully unroot your phone and make it ready for warranty claim.
If you want to unroot only, then you can just flash any stock firmware.
Note: ALWAYS had the rooting method that won't increase your binary counter! This one is very important for warranty claim in future.

"Always USE the rooting method that won't increase your binary counter"
Ok. I'll explain.
1. When you flash any file not signed by Samsung eg Custom kernel or ROM via Odin, it will increase you binary counter ( You will see this binary counter when you boot your device into download mode)
2. If you flash custom kernel/ROMs via CWM recovery, it will not increase the binary counter
3. This binary counter increases as you flash more custom kernels/ROMs via Odin to your phone.
4. When you take/send your phone to Samsung to claim warranty, the first thing the technician will try to check is the binary counter if possible.
5. On GT I9100, It is extremely very easy to reset this counter. with an app.
6. On your phone GT I9100G however, it is very hard to reset the binary counter. I know you can use the USB jig to reset it, but it may not work on new bootloaders which i guess you have already.
These are the reasons why I advised you to Root your phone with method 2 in that Rooting tutorial, which will not increase you binary counter.
Thank you, man
as Samsung till now don't update GT-I9100G with gelly bean. I decided to flash a custom rom
I downgrade as you advised me to ICS 4.0.3 KSA but I still have Insane chip
Now I must flash a CWM to flash the custom rom, It's safe to do this now as I will wipe data from it (CWM)
1-What is the appropriate CWM to my phone? and how can I flash it Via odin or Via Recovery mode?
2-I'm living in KSA which rom i choose [JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies or [JB 4.1.2][PA2.55][AOKP-ML1][CM10]P.A.C True All in 1 ROM? as I need mobile to read and write arabic without any external applications.
3- I had a problem "my phone is always open but when some one try to call me it say mobile is closed" Is that from the rom cause of different modem in rom or how can i fix this (this problem not from the carrier as i try the sim in Nokia mobile and worked fine).
pls help?
i am little bit confused if i downgrade my i9100g from jb to ics or back to stock rom from custom rom should i flash the kernel for ics?pls help.thanks in advance.
Sorry for the noob question, but i really need some assurance before i proceed
My goal is to install CM10 for S2.
So in order to do that i need to:
1. Download ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 and flash the kernal via odin
2. Download SuperOneClick to Root my S2
3. Proceed with CM10 flash -> then Factory reset.
So that's about it right? backup has been done. anything else i need? What about modem?
So pointer would be great. I'm kinda rusty, left the android scene for years.
PS - My S2 is stock, no mods.

Quite right.
You need CWM recovery to flash CM10.
The easiest way to get it IMO is to flash a rooted kernel which contains CWM recovery.
You can use SiyahKernel or PhilZ-cwm6 kernel ... it's your choice and depends on your current ROM version.
After flashing the kernel, your phone will be rooted and you will have CWM recovery.
You should create a nandroid backup in CWM recovery - just to have a complete system backup of your current ROM.
Then you can flash the CM10 in CWM recovery - stick to the installation instructions of the ROM. You may have to wipe data/do a factory reset.
Good luck !
So if i were to use PhilZ-cwm6, i dont have to use superoneclickroot? Correct?
- so no need for odin right?
About choosing PhilZ kernel, mine is XWLP7, so, i would download XWLPZ kernel? Correct?
im nearly getting it LOL.
You don't need superoneclickroot when using PhilZ-cwm6, it's already rooted.
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270 and search for XWLP7 and download that kernel (I'm not sure XWLPZ is close enough in version, but as there is a XWLP7 kernel there, I would use that.)
superoneclick is obselete. If you have CWM then theres no need for Odin. You get CWM with almost all rooted Kernels. If you aren't currently rooted however, you wont have CWM. Imo, the best way to go from no root > root is to flash a rooted Kernel via Odin, and yes your kernel version should correspond to your ROM version.
I've flashed just about every US Galaxy variant but just want to make sure I have the easiest method to get from GB 2.3.3 to CM10.2 on an I9100 as I'm helping a friend do this remotely. Can they just copy the CM ROM and Gapps to the SD, flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 via Odin, then reboot into CWM recovery wipe and install those ZIPs? What exactly is the brick bug I've seen in some other threads.. is it a concern?
That CWM version you're wanting to flash won't work with GB stock. If it were me, I'd upgrade to JB stock, root the phone with a custom kernel (PhilZ, Dori, whatever) & then flash CM10 from CWRecovery.
Edit - Brickbug ? Don't concern yourself with it, doesn't apply to this situation.

I see that the kernel in that CWM is meant for JB, but if it was rebooted and immediately entered recovery afterwards and flashed with CM would it matter? Besides, there isn't an official JB update for the particular carrier.
the surest way: ICS flash (eg threeparttable LPI 4.0.3 FW) because of Brick safe!!
reboot
reboot in download mode
rootkernel Siyah5.01 (tar version) with ODIN
reboot into recovery
then according to the instructions CM (with wipe/fullwipe)
directly from GB to JB is not.
Okay i got something.
1. Flash latest XXMS1 through ODIN. tar.md5 as PDA.
2. boot ur phone its on 4.1.2 now. Transfer Cm10.2 in sdcard0
3. flash siyah v6 beta as PDA in ODIN.
4. boot into recovery wipe everything system,data,cache,dalvik
5. Flash cm10.2 and extras gapps etc.
