Has anybody tried installing the Tegrak Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920711) it seems to be compatible for the SGP
They are not compatible. If you flash it, you will just end up at the Samsung logo before it boots. It is made for the non US player. I wish it was though.

so I have the international player then I can just flash the one from the link there?
You should be able to flash it no problem. Just back up your device before flashing it to be sure.

Do you have an 5.0 international player? If so, there is already a kernel in development section. See this thread.
Are you looking for anything specific in Tegrak kernel?

Do you have a Kernel with CWM on it? If so, that is the easiest way.
i still have stock kernel, which is why i wanted to use this one. I might try SteveS kernel instead
Good choice. You can always back up your device with CWM then flash the kernel using odin. If it fails, just flash the steves kernel back on the device.

DO NOT FLASH THIS KERNEL IT WILL RESULT AS YOUR DEVICE WON'T BOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR BRICKED IF YOU WANT. (I tried it)
This is my first post and i was wondering if people could answer some questions i have.
First off heres my phones specs
Samsung galaxy s2
Model number
GT-I9100
Android version
4.0.3
Baseband version
I9100XXLPQ
Kernel version
3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505
[email protected] #3
Build number
IML74K.XXLPQ
I've rooted my phone using rachmat3 method and thats how far i've got because only just got phone as a gift and im scared to flash a new rom incase i brick my phone.
Is it safe to use the cwm.zip to flash a rom that i used from rachmat3 root method or do i need a updated version of cwm?
Can someone recommend a fully working paranoid android rom that i can use for daily use?
Which kernel would be best to use with paranoid android rom?
Should i flash a kernel before i flash a rom?
If i install paranoid android rom would i then have a permanant cwm on my device or would i still need to use my temporery cwm.zip?
What is the chances of me bricking my phone?

Flash what ever rom u want till its for GT-I9100
No need to worry
Just read the specific rom instructions carefully
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes mate now u can flash any Rom ....Just read the instruction before flashing
I would advise you to flash a safe kernel first before doing any wipe and flashing any roms. Siyah is a safe bet.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
1. Download ROM Manager and you'll be able to flash any ROMs you wish using that.
2. All the PA versions are working fine, so just browse through and choose for yourself.
3. Asking questions like that is against forum rules because they often lead to arguments. The best advice is just to download and flash different kernels and stick with which ever one you're happy with.
4. It really doesn't matter in which order you flash them. The result is still the same. I personally always flash the ROM first, but it doesn't make a difference.
5. If you use ROM Manager, as mentioned previously, even if you have to do a full wipe when flashing a different ROM, it doesn't matter because you can simply download it again anyway. Or just save it to your SD card.
6. The changes if bricking your phone are higher if you're worried about it. Just be sure to read all instructions given about installation and follow them perfectly and you'll be fine.
If after reading about flashing ROMs you are still worried, then you're better off waiting for a bit until you've done more research into what exactly is needed.
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
Thanks for your replys.
just follow the steps mentioned and follow some video (like on youtube) and it'll be easy!
Would it be to much to ask if someone could put a link to the right paranoid android rom for my phone please

I don't recommend using ROM Manager since it can brick the phone.
Why don't flash custom kernel and use real CWMR?

Most ROM zips include kernels, so if somebody wants to stay with the same kernel, then it's necessary to flash custom kernel again.

Just coz i have no pc to revive a bricked phone and i wont beable to check online for solutions as my phone will be bricked.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
You will need a pc if for example you flash a kernel and somethings not right.You cant get cwm, only download mode.
That happened to me when I flashed a siyah kernel.Phone was stuck and I couldnt boot into cwm.Only way to fix was boot to download mode and use odin/pc.

I can help you from here, pretty simple
Within the next 30 mins, you should be running PA.
First, flash Siyah kernel with your temporary CWM recovery. Very safe
when you are done, let me know
My phone is rooted now and few friends here gave me suggestions of siyah and some...i want to know if I can directly flash the rom from stock recovery mode..i downloaded ROM manager, but it only has clockwork mode and cyanogen i guess.. can i do that using siya?
You need CWRecovery on your phone (sounds like you used a root method that didn't involve using a kernel with CWM if you only have stock recovery). Best way to get it is to flash a kernel that has it built in - Siyah, Dorimanx, etc, etc. There's a number of them; search the development sections of the board. Once you've got CWM on, you'll be able to flash any rom you want.

Siyah is a kernel, not a ROM. And no, you cannot flash a custom ROM from stock recovery. Search for rachmat3's rooting method and use that. Or flash the tar version of siyah or dorimanx via Odin.
ROM manager seems to have some issues with the S2. try to avoid using it as far as possible.
See which ROM you want to use. If it has the new Mali drivers use dorimanx 7.4 else use siyah 4.1.5

Siyah is a kernel developed by gokhanmoral. ROM on the other hand is also called firmware, you can flash them both in clockworkmod recovery, but cannot be done in stock recovery.
As for ROM manager, I've seen people brick their phone using it, so just stick to flashing clockworkmod recovery.

Don't use rom manager, unless you want an expensive brick.
And Rootbox with dorimax is a good combination you can check out

If you are using siyah kernel you can tweak the GPU steps and overclock your CPU using an app called ExTweaks. But note you are not going to get any serious performance boost, your machine tends to be what you have.
hi guys,
i tried to flash paranoid android, latest version. everything worked fine. after that i flashed gapps and the newest siyah kernel.
After that, my S3 shows only the s3 text and then nothing. The biggest problem is that the cwm is gone. But i can go to the standard download mode.
I need help to get the device running again...
I tried the following:
- flashed the stock kernel via odin to get back cwm - no sucess
- flashed the stock fw - no sucess - hangs now at the samsung text
Thanks in advance
flash the tar version of your recovery of choice through Odin. or format data from the stock recovery.
either way, it's only because you don't read. siyah doesn't support 4.2
R: [Q] CWM deleted, no Boot, paranoid android, siyah kernel
I believe before flashing gapps, if you booted up the phone, youre supppsed to wipe the cache: did you do that? If you did your gapps package might be broken or the kernel (check its the s3 version, which is a smaller version than the s2 one).
Try redownloading and reflashing everything (except paranoid android, if you know i does work when the phone starts up...)

what are you talking about? he said he doesn't have CWM anymore, so he needs to flash a custom recovery first through Odin.

Thanks for the reply. Thats right, i have read it afterwards
I already tried to flash a recovery through odin. after flashing the device is rebooting. Then i have to remove battery because it hangs again. After That CWM isn´t installed at all. Maybe you can give me a Link of an other version?
How do i format data from stock revovery?
flash PhilZ recovery through Odin and then get into recovery.

Philz recovery is cool but can we be sure it will last? Is it worth keeping a recocery like that or wait for clockwork to get smarter?

you still don't know what spamming is, do you?
then don't use any custom ROMs, because how do you know the dev will keep updating it? makes no sense whatsoever, stop confusing people
R: [Q] CWM deleted, no Boot, paranoid android, siyah kernel
That's not at all the same thing...custom roms change from one to another but a recovery needs to be solid, the thing holding all of your stuff together in the safest way possible. Of course i could trust a rom developer, but since android updates oftenly i will probably change rom just as often...not the same for recovery. Recovery needs to stay put, solid, stable, updated and trustworthy.
How can i know this philz guy wont make any new versions of his recovery after a month to come, or how can i know if i choose to switch to clockworkmod again because philz stopped development the backups will still be compatible?

PhilZ recovery can make backups compatible with CWM and TWRP. You can change your recovery any time.
and good luck being on stock.
actually, having an updated rom is more important than an updated recovery. recovery just needs to backup and restore to be useful.
R: [Q] CWM deleted, no Boot, paranoid android, siyah kernel
Yeah but i dont wanna miss faster backups...if they update i might miss it...cause philz doesnt have its own rom manager app...even though i prefer it to cwm.

In http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270 you can find your appropriate kernel, but you need to choose the right one, because the latest kernels are for JellyBean only.
No, you don't need Odin/heimdall and you don't' need a PC even if it's better to have one at hand when it comes to issues.
One hint: read and try to understand everything before flashing. If you are unsure, ask, otherwise there is a chance to brick the device, especially with 4.0.4 stock (-> brick bug)

CWM matters, not the kernel you're actually on.
Of course if you're on 4.0.4's kernel you can't wipe.
