Avoid ROM manager mate.

OK, will do.
I think it is the Kernel I am using....3.0.64-CM-ge8aa6a7
Is the recovery tool built into the kernel? If so, can anyone recommend;
a) a different kernel?
or
b) How I can flash to the latest Revolt 4.3 ROM as I have only been running the Revolution ROM until his new build was released (Needs TWRP to install)
Ta muchly.
Yes it's built into the kernel. Dorimanx 9.xx will be good for 4.3 rom and also I'm guessing cm10.1 4.2.2 rom. It's cwm but should install that rom and run it. Also Apollo kernel has twrp if it's a must and seems to run 4.3,have a read of the thread.

hello. I'm on stock 4.1.2 (XXLS8), and have root (got it with that method of flashing update.zip through stock recovery). now I'd like to get ParanoidAndroid. afaik, I have to have CWM to install it. so, is it possible to flash siyah kernel (it includes CWM, right?) through mobile odin, and then flash Paranoid? I don't really care about which kernel I have, so maybe there are also easier/better ways to achieve what I want? thanks.

Yes, it is possible. And after flashing PA, u will end up with the kernel in PA Rom, and not the siyah u flashed.
U can also use temporary CWM zips (available on xda) to flash PA. Then u can skip the step of flashing Siyah kernel.
Backing up ur current rom is also a good practice, in case u end up with problems after flashing...

thx for answer, seems clear now now I'm curious, which recovery I'd have after installing PA... CWM from siyah would be kept?

Ur welcome.
Recoveries are linked to kernels. So u would get whatever recovery comes bundled with the kernel of PA rom (u can find it out from the PA thread). :thumbup:

can anyone suggest if I m on paranoidandroid v1.6 4.0.4/baseband xxlps, and want to flash turkbey xperia look a like rom what do I need to do first, as I m originally on cm kernel do I need to flash philz or any other secure kernel and reboot to recovery then follow op instruction....please advice.....thanks in advance
Are you concerned about the BrickBug?
Don't worry mate.. that only affects stock 4.0.4 firmware with stock kernels.
Just follow the OP's instructions on Turkbey ROM thread.

CM kernel is a custom kernel, and brickbug only affects stock kernels. So no worries..
But if u still aren't convinced, u can flash Philz safe kernel, and then flash Turkbey.

Hey, i have an I9100 from Claro (BR), and i'm running Siyah kernel + Sensation ROM (4.0.4).
I'm willing to update from ICS to JB, but:
1 - I cant use my recovery to flash any JB rom, and
2 - If i flash a JB recovery, my phone wont boot either to OS or recovery.
What should i do?
Thanks.

Why can't u use your recovery to flash JB?
And from where did u get a 'JB recovery'?

I've read somewhere here that there are specific recovery's to JB and ICS. And when i try to install some JB rom (like CM10.1) i got an "Status 7" error.
Just flash the latest Siyah/Dori kernel for ICS then, and ur good to go.
Since ur on 4.0.4, I suggest u read about 'eMMC Brickbug' too, just to be careful.
AFAIK, Status 7 error could be because of a corrupted download or trying to flash the wrong ROM for your device. Please check both.

Use odin to flash siyah 5.0.1.tar off gokhanmoral.com, then proceed to wipe system. And data/cache and then flash your desired jb rom through siyah recovery

Brick bug only affects 4.0.4 firmwares.
Yes, you may proceed using Philz CWM recovery.
Just do a full wipe before flashing CM.

It doesnt really matter as long as u wipe..
But since ur gonna wipe it anyway, why not wipe before flashing (to get a clean slate for CM)?

Siyah v4 is not compatible with JB 4.1.2. Siyah v6 is.
If you cannot get into recovery menu, try flashing Siyah v6 beta 5 kernel via Odin. Then try to enter Recovery.

Yup, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache in CWM and flash CM10 and then GApps zip. Then reboot.
If you still get into a bootloop, it could be an issue with the CM10 nightly. Check for corrupted or broken file. Or download another nightly.
Good luck!

Are you sure its bootlooping? The first boot usually takes time.
Try doing a data, cache and dalvik wipe again.
Update:
Just re-read ur post now. There is NO STABLE CM10 got the I9100!! Are you sure you downloaded the right ROM?

i had some issues with siyah kernel and cyanogenmod 10.1,
what helped for me was trying another kernel ( dorimanx kernel v 8.13 ) in combination with cyanogenmod 10.1
i cant find the download link for the dorimanx kernel v 8.13 maybe someone could post it here for you.
http://www.get.cm/?device=i9100 here u could find the dorimanx 10.1 firmware
Good Luck
Mate 8.13 is not for cm10.1 its for stock/custom 4.1.2 , cm10.1 is 4.2.2 right kernel is 9.13.

That wouldn't be a problem here mate, because when flashing CM10, Siyah kernel is replaced by the stock CM kernel.
