[Q[ROM Galaxy S2 + Kernel Siyah - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have some questions about my phone. I want to install JB and now i have ICS 4.0.3. The problem is that i can't install JB because i have Insane chip. Some people say that, if I install Siyah Kernel(safe kernel) i can install JB without any problems. But after i try to install Siyah 5(with CWM), i get a message like "Installation aborted".Also this phone is rooted, have a stock ROM and have CWM v3.15. How i can install JB(i want Slimbean)?

Grab a official fb firmware and flash it with odin then install philz kernel (odin version) cuz it dont change binary counter (no yellow triangle)
After that go in recovery and flash slim bean zip file and gapps (optionally)

Yeah siyah is absolutely safer way to start after flashing it through odin grab a stock or custom jb rom and flash it
also check for the latest version of the cwm
Installations get aborted mainly due to the older versions of cwm
Gud luck mate

As you can see siyah has last update on feb. So it's better to use different kernel instead of siyah.

No, the custom kernel (siyah in your case) will be a .tar file, which is to be flashed via Odin.

Yes, you can flash Siyah kernel (the .tar file) without rooting.

From the periphery,
1. Odexed ROM means that the System apps and frameworks ( .apks and jars) are divided into two parts the apk and Odex files, instead of one single file e.g The Odexed music player will be music.apk + music.Odex.
Music.Odex might also contain some files necessary for other apps to work. Etc
2. In Deodexed , the Odex files are already merged into their respective apks, therefore containing one single file for each app.
3. Advantage of Odexed is better RAM management
4. Advantages of deodexed are better space management, easy to MOD.
I post any better explanation (or a link) about this subject later (if I'm chanced)

No, the leaked stock JB 4.1.2 is not deodexed ma8, for the deodexed one u can try 'Neat Rom' which is based on the leaked JB4.1.2
u can flash 'Philz' kernel thro ODIN to root ur phone with leaked JB4.1.2 though
to get root flash this kernal.
>PhilZ-cwm6 - Stock i9100/i9100P SAFE kernel with CWM6
you will not see cwm in the apps, it is part of the 4 boot. press power and then restart, it give you the option to boot into recovery.
which thread did you get the rom from. If it is a custom rom it is mostly deodexed. Stock rom is odexed.
for ROOT You can flash philz kernel via odin-.tar.md5
via stock recovery -signed.zip
Leaked 4.1.2 is Odex .Mod for both odex & deodex in Thread =[MOD][LSJ][v3.9]PURE_INK+MultiWin+Ripple+SS/SR{TITLE Cant Say Any More}

Getting back 4.1.2

Hi to all,
I am newbee to android. After using HTC One V for few months I purchased Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from UAE. It was running Jellybean 4.1.2 having Modem XXLS8. On a fine day for the requirement of built in call recording I rooted my phone and managed to install Omega Rom V23.
All went smooth. But next day I realised that Hindi fonts are not properly displaying and I made a big mistake to flash Omega Rom again. This time I stucked in BootLoop . Everything tried. Finally I gave up
I thought flashing back may work so I flashed available stock Gingerbird rom via odin. Now system is back running Stock Gingerbird Android with modem XXKI4. Then I tried to update GB to JB via OTA and Kies, But OTA and kies refused to update software.
Please give me any solution to get back my 4.1.2 version or tell me any idea to get Custom Rom Omega V23. Will it safe to flash Omega V23 4.1.2 directly on current 2.3.6 rom with Philz latest kernels?

Well, the latest CMW version might be better, is not mandatory to go 4.1.2 tho.

I am not getting it. Please spoon feed me. I will be in debt.
I tried following steps:
I download Omega V23 custom rom and kernel - PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSN-OXX-4.93.6-signed and placed it on SDCard. After going into stock recovery I applied Philz Kernel via Stock Recovery. But getting error in red-
E:Failed to verify whole file signature
E:Signature verification failed
Please give me any solution. I dont have enough previlage to post into Android Development Forum as I am newbee here.

I guess you did not make backup of your original ROM... i would recommend that you install ics first before installing jb or custom jb roms... you can get stock ones samfilmware.. when try installing omega ROM again make sure you back your ROM this time so will not start all over again if a problem occurs at any time had same problem bootloop because of the kernel that was installed just did a full wipe fixed it for me and reinstall over again

Yepp..You are not getting it. System is running GingerBread with Stock Recovery. I can make backup in CWM recovery only. But right now my problem is that Philz Kernel is not installing. It will give me CWM Recovery and it will root the device. Any solution for above error??

help with basic rooting and flashing roms

hello all
i have a gs2 i9100
i rooted it folowing this guide short way (update from recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994544
it installs cwm recovery 4.0.1.5 and supersu.
i tried installing a cm10.1 nightly version for my model,it allways abort with staus 7.
i tried different nightly version,no success.
then i folowed the official cm guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100
i flashed the zimage for cwm recovery via heimdall on linux,it went well then i booted into recovery to check and success.
i didnt want to flash cm at that point (middle of the day) so i rebooted the device and problem:
i could see the samssung boot logo with the yello triangle and then the screen goes black and..nothing.
for now i restored via recovery a backup i made on the older 4.0.1.5 recovery.
i also tried looking for a kernel that matches mine - jhls4 and couldnt find one nor a solution that solved the stsus 7 error.
what could be the problem?
That thread is so old now. More phone details. Firmware you have installed or had installed before you flashed cm? Model of i9100?
Phone model is gt-i9100
Im on stock tw jb 4.1.2
Never installed any other firmware just updated the official with kies.
I rooted it from the stock recovery-installed super user and recovery as update.
The rest is in my first post.
Appriciate your help.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Flash it with philz kernel for root and custom kernel cwm recovery that will let you do anything. Philz is the easy way to root and install cwm to your i9100.
When that's install do the wipes and reboot.
Thanx for your reply
Q: any phils kernel or one that matches mine- jhls2?
2nd Q: can i flash the kenel via recovery ? Or just heimdall?
And if i flash a kernel do i have to flash a rom immedietly or can i still use the stock rom?
Total noob at this.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Flash lss or lsw philz as its just the cwm that's updated in dif versions and yes this will work on your stock 4.1.2 no point in telling you to flash something that won't work on the ROM you have now then if you want to flash custom ROM you can do this from there. Either way is possible with philz . tar for Odin/hem and singed zip for stock recovery:thumbup: reading is the key to flashing well.
Thanx again
I read a lot and got a little confused.
Will do what u suggested.
Hope ill get it right this time.
Cheers.
