Hi
I have just Rooted my Samsung GS2 everything was going OK. Then through ROM Manager Premium I tried to Install Cyanogen Mod 7.10 Stable but it keeps failing .
Has anyone any helpful Tips . I am a Newbie.Is Rom Manager not suitable for Samsung GS2 . Thanks in anticipation .
Its stated in the Q&A thread,

Q: How do I install this?
A:
Latest version: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2 (for when nightlies are working normally)
Check the md5sum if you want to be sure that the download worked (different OSes have different programs that do md5, on ubuntu it is md5sum that you run against the zip you download and compare to the md5sum number shown on the download website). ROMManager does this automatically for ROMs you download via ROMManager.
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S2 (or coming from another ROM)?
Only for the International version of the Galaxy S2, US versions like the AT&T have their own device specific builds.
Note: sometimes you need to flash twice back to back without a reboot in the middle. The install should take a little time, if it happens very quickly, flash again.
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.

Hi
I followed everything said but now I have a Yellow Triangle on the Opening Screen and I can not do anything .It won't re Boot I took out the Battery and still the same result.. I am sorry if i'm a fool but can anyone help
Hey guys
I'm trying to flash my S II I9100G with cMIUI, which doesn't work. The phone gets stuck during booting right after the installation. I've been messing around with this problem for a couple of hours by now, been googling a lot and yet I have not found a solution.
What I did in order to flash the ROM:
1) I installed the latest German stock ROM (ICS) using Odin.
2) I followed this tutorial (root using SU-BB-Installer.zip and flash CWM recovery kernel 6.0.1.2 via kTool): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065581 So far everything works fine. I have root access now.
3) Downloaded the cMIUI 2.10.19 zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804619
4) When I tried to flash cMIUI from Recovery and toogle signature verification "on", it told me "signature verification failed". I ignored that message and installed it anyway.
5) Installation ran smoothly. After finishing it, the phone wanted to reboot. It now got stuck in the booting screen. I can not get the ROM booted.
I don't think it's cMIUI-caused, because I tried to flash a clean CM10 and still had the same problem (even though it didn't fail signature verification). Here are some more things I tried:
- installed clean stock ROM via Odin, again. Then followed all above steps exactly as described above, except for using Odin for flashing CWM Recovery instead of kTool
- again, clean stock ROM. After rooting, I then tried to install cMIUI via ROM Manager v5.5.2.3. Unfortunately, ROM Manager doesn't identify CWM recovery and keeps asking me to install the Recovery-System with ROM Manager. When I try that, there apparently "is no official CWM Recovery available" for my model. So, ROM Manager is no option
As described in the following thread, I can not use the ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2 kernel on aosp based ROMs like cMIUI and CM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631934 So that probably is the cause of my problem. Can you tell me what kernel I can use, instead? Or is there another way to flash that ROM? Via Odin, for example...
Thanks for your help in advance. Very much appreciated!!
Regards,
Daniel
What Codeworkx is saying in that thread is, that you cannot use that kernel when you are already on a aosp based rom. So you can use that recovery.
Something you didn't mention, did you do a full wipe from within the recovery? If you didn't do that, then thats probably the source of your problems.
1. Flash a stock rom true Odin.
2. Flash the recovery (you don't need to root your rom after)
3. Wipe system/factory reset
4. Wipe cache.
5. Download the rom again to make sure you the download went well.
6. Toggle signature verification off.
7. Flash Miui
8. Reboot and wait.

Thank you so much! Wiping helped. :good: Why didn't I try that before :silly:
Awesome, now I can finally enjoy cMIUI. It's really great! (except for crashing galery/camera app when starting cam from lock screen. but who cares )
Thanks dude! :highfive:
So A few days ago tried to install costume ROM on my LG Optimus G. And guess what I bricked it. Now it I do it one more time I am left with on phone. So now I came up with what I am going to do. Please if someone did this already warn me about any error that might occur and how to fix them. Mainly how to unlock the bootloader
1) Download app freeGee
2)install clockworkrecovery
2.1) try to boot into the phone if Fails try to flash LGNPST teeny beans.
2.2) cry and post on the forum for help( I know there is an other way but I hard brick it last time using that method )
3)download and save to SD card the PAC man mod (If there is a better one please tell me )
4)Erase the Internal Storage
5)Erase the cache
5) Flash the new ROM
6) Flash GApps
7) I hope I am done
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006946
That's the method I used from stock software. I used the mako method to unlock boot loader via freegee app. Also I installed twrp instead of cwm.
Sent from my Optimus G using xda app-developers app
Simple an easy solution is :
1.Connect phone is download mode.
2.Load necessary files and drivers , prior to connecting.
3.Flash the AtlBins/TeenyBins on your phone.
4.Let it complete.
5.It'll either stuck in a bootloop with AT&T logo , or will Go straight to Recovery which was installed as an additional benefit of TeenyBins. If OriginalBins don't work then tr AltBins. Mine worked with AtlBins.
6.Goto recovery and wipe out everything : /System , /Data , /Cache. ( as per your requirements.)
7.Now place the Custom rom on your SDCard along with SUBinary and recommended GApps package.
8.Flash them in queue.
9.Reboot. ( Wipe cache/dalvik if necessary ).
Pretty easy.
THis should usually work.

Hello all,
First of all I want to say I'm pretty new to flashing ROMs etc.
Currently I'm at stock 4.3 Jellybean and I want to flash my SGS3 to the new CM 11 ROM.
I rooted my phone following this tutorial: vvvvvv.telefoonrooten.nl/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-root/ (sorry if its in Dutch, but it uses the CF-Root-SGS3-v6.3 and Odin).
After I rooted I copied both the CM11 ROM and GAPPS to my external SD, I went to recovery and tried to install the new custom ROM but I got an error (status 7) and it was aborted.
Also if I try to reboot it won't boot normally as it should be but it goes back to recovery mode automatically...
I fixed to get back to Jellybean by flashing the stock rom (unrooting?) it via Odin.
Anyone else got the exact same problem as I do and knows a solution to be able to flash CM 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steelbear

please read the thirst post in a rom/kernel/whatever thread. and maybe if you havent done it already you should also read the stickies in general section.
FAQ (Read before post !!)
- If you obtain Error 7 when you tried to install ROM in CWM or TWRP
Install the latest version of CMW or TWRP
Click to expand...

BTW latest philz touch recovery works too
Since you went back to stock and you already know how to root, I suggest you go to Play Store and download ROM Manager to help you install latest CWM recovery on your device.
Or you can simply go to CWM website, pick the version of the recovery for your phone and flash it via Odin.
Hope it helps.

Indeed it worked! I found it out myself yesterday. Went to the CWM site and downloaded the latest version (6.0.4.4.) and flashed it through Odin. But thanks for your input anyways (to all who replied) !
An alternative solution that I often use is to open the Updater Script in META-INF folder in the ROM's zip and delete first lines, where it gets device model as property.
Obviously it's an UNSAFE operation (because that lines avoid to install ROMs of other phone on mine) but when I'm sure that ROM I've downloaded is for my phone I do it and it works
I am currently on cm-10.1.3 galaxy s2 i9100 intl (International, NOT G). It has CM-based Recovery v6.0.3.6. How do I upgrade to new rom cm-11 nightly?
1. Can the above CM-based Recovery v6.0.3.6 be usd for the flashing? Any link to a detailed post would be appreciated? I have seen references to problems if the above used, or first one has to goto cm-10.2 etc. It looks like cm-10.2 has been pulled back, I do not see that among cm downloads area.
2. Using the built in 'CM Check for updates' I downloaded the latest cm-11 nightly, it went without any error. But I do not see that .zip file anywhere. Where is that supposed to be?
Any help is appreciated.

The cm11 zip file will most likely be in your internal sd card. You should be able to flash it from there from recovery, but first I would update the recovery to something more recent
Just download the latest philz recovery from HERE You want the "latest philz" from the third post. Flash this recovery, reboot into recovery(not system), do a full wipe after any backups you want to do, then flash the cm11 zip and compatible gapps(optional)
There are other recoveries you can use, just use the latest one if possible, philz is what I use

Thank you very much for your very helpful reply. I have more to clarify now.
A. Well, I found out why I dont see the cm-11 zip file. (I did search in the *nix console with
'find / -name cm-*.zip'. Couple of the other older zips do show up.). To see the problem I had to watch during the full download; towards the end it has a very brief popup like 'MD5 check failed'. I have no idea why the latest cm-11-20150426-nightly md5 is failing at my end!! The previous 20150412 could not be downloaded either (though I was not there to catch the md5 error, but since there was no file, I assume it failed similarly.) So I tried the 20150406, and that did ask me if I wanted to flash, I cancelled that, and the zip is in the /storage/sdcard0/cmupdater/ . Good.
B. I had never used any philz recovery tool before. So to flash this new recovery, I use the current CM-based Recovery v6.0.3.6, just like I load the gapps zip?
B1. When you say philz, from third post, this one? 8th September 2012, 11:40 PM |#3 ?
It says it 'can be flashed in stock recovery 3e: No Yellow Triangle'. Mine is no longer the stock recovery, since I had updated to the v6.0.3.6. My phone has a Yellow Triangle on boot! Does this mean I cannot use this one? Kindly explain.
So philz recovery is different flavour from the CM-10.1.3 based I have? I had used the flashing only once before to come from the stock to the 10.1.3. Are these two recoveries fully compatible?
C. I had already downloaded the gapps zip for cm-11. The date of that is rather old; I assume there is only one gapps zip version for the cm-11?
D. Since there have been so many cm-11 NIGHTLYs out there, no stable, or monthly, how does one select one of the more stable among them. I really do not need the latest, the primary reason is the main version Andorid upgrade, and I want the ones after the battery drain problem, and the music stop problems were fixed. Is there any place where they give a relative 'goodness' grading to these NIGHTLYs?
Thank you for your continuing help.

This is a continuation of my last reply to you. Double checking: The latest zip file I see at the goo.im downloads site phiilz_touch->CWM_Advanced_Editiion->i9100 is
philz_touch_6.48.4-i9100.zip Sun, 06 Jul 2014 22:47:33 GMT
Should I flash this from my CM-based Recovey v6.0.36 ?. After this flash, i suppose I can do a regular phone booting also, before flashing the cm-11? Thank you.

The latest philz is correct - 6.48.4. Yes you can flash it from your recovery, it is just an updated version of the v6.0.3.6, something like 6.0.4.something with touch ui. It will work flashing later android versions where the earlier one may not. Just flash it and reboot straight back into recovery when you are ready to do your backups, wipes and installs.
The nightly cm11's are all very stable at this stage; I would download the latest, but the more important bug fixes were implemented from about mid january(eg. fpbug fix). Anything after that would be ok. The gapps, I would download the latest just before I flashed the rom, you are better off with the latest play services etc. As long as they are compatible to 4.4.4, you can choose whatever gapps you want. I like minimal gapps by @jajb for example, but it's up to you. HERE are most of the gapps available at the moment.
If you can I would download the rom by pc. You are recommended to check the md5 sum whenever you download roms/gapps to make sure the download was successful
noppy22, Thank you. That clears up many things. The link to the gapps is a big help. I had previously read somewhere that my phone needed a small foot print gapps, because the system (?) partition was ony about 500mb. That was what I had downloaded, but I can check the newer ones.
How do I check the md5 checksum after the download? I have access to the terminal, and I can use minimal *nix commands, once i know the utility name At philz, there were .zip and .zip.md5 of the same version date. Can I flash either one? I know, as I mentioned in two msgs ago, when I use the system download of nightly, it automatically checks the md5, and saves only if it is correct. But I simply downloaded the gapps, and the .zip of he philz, so I do not know how to check the md5. Info-zip versions of zip has their own integrity check with unzip -t, but the unzip in busybox of Android appears minimal without those features. Thank you agian, I am almost ready to upgrade, as soon as I hear back from you

Yes you are generally better off with a smaller gapps package due to the smaller /system in the s2, more so in the newer lollipop roms.
You can check the md5 in a variety of ways, google will tell you ways to if you want to search, and there are apps in the market that check for you. I personally use hashtab, which you download to your pc. It gives you a tab in "properties" that allows you to compare the md5 value against the download site
Thank you. I got my s2 running on 4.4.4, thanks to your help. Everything went fine; I will reload another newer 'small' gapps pkg soon.
As for the md5 check, I was wondering if there is a way to do that from the phone (after a download) or using philz recovery, after download of a .zip.

Just go to play store and search for "md5 checker". There are several there. Sorry I haven't used any, so can't recommend but they should be able to give you a reference point
I have run into a problem, and I am stuck. While playing with the setting of profiles, I lost wifi, and the cell connection permanently. It is possible there is bug in the new profile version. Anyway, I flashed again the same nightly (after wipe for loading a new rom), and then this time without the gapps re-flashing, booted the system up. Both the wifi and the cell connected this time. Of course there was no google apps. So, I reflashed the philz advanced (the cm flash always gets rid of the philz advanced), then added the same apps pkg as before. But then when I booted the system up, both the wifi and the cell were not connecting!!
Any suggestions? Thank you.
PS. A related question. Does philz provide a way to save all the installed up and their setting to the external sdcard, and then reboot it? I am particularly interested in the settings save and restore.

I don't know about the connection problems, you could post the problem in the cm11 thread as it is more specific to that rom. I have heard problems in cm12 with using gapps not released by cm, so you could try cm gapps HERE
Other than using the backup feature of philz, there isn't really any option to save settings. You could check out titanium backup from the market. It has the most comprehensive features for backing up apps and settings, although I have had problems with re-installing stuff using it, but plenty of people swear by it....
