Does anyone encounter failure while trying to flash 4.4 roms?
I tried to upgrade form 4.2.2 GPE..... That didn't work
I tried to first update to 4.3 and go to 4.4... that didn't work either.
Is there a fix for 4.4 failure while flashing?
Thanks
What recovery r u using.

Gotta use and updated recovery that supports 4.4 ROMs. I had the same issue didn't realize I needed to be on an updated recovery. If using cwm recovery you need to be on at least a 6.0.4.x and above to flash 4.4 roms

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?

Thanks. Can I root present 2.3.6 Gingerbird and Install Custom Rom Omega v23 4.1.2 directly? Or I have to reinstall stock version 4.1.2 over current 2.3.6 Gingerbird?

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??

Hey everyone,
I want to flash the new slimrom onto my I9505. It goes from android 4.2.2(stock rom) to android 4.3 (slimbean).Do i have to change my kernel when doing so?
Thx in andvance

Not sure about the specifics to the i9505 but on most every device that has a custom ROM produced for it (especially a big name ROM like cyanogen or slim) you would just make a backup in recovery, wipe clean, flash new ROM, then flash gapps if needed
The kernel most always is included with the ROM and will be flashed at the same time, but there are differences in every device so I advice to read the procedure in phone forum for specifics to your devices

I was using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290468 rom.
Now while trying to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580489
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Both give status 7 error while in cwm recovery
older roms such as rootbox v3.7.1 and jellybam v6.0.0 are installing fine.
Are the above stated roms not suitable for sgs2 i9100i
Probably you should first read the instructions before starting to flash ...
You need CWM recovery > 6.0.4.x otherwise it will not flash.

Hi all,
I can install cm 10.2 and all is well, but when I try to install cm 11 it fails every time.
I'm trying to install from recovery or the cm update OTA update feature.
The error reads set__metadata_recursive; some changes failed.
e: error in sdcard/0/cmupdater/cm-11-20140308-snapshot-m4-dlx.zip
Thanks!
Which recovery are you using? For 4.4 you need the latest cwm, Twrp, or phillz recovery to work. Any older versions will not flash 4.4 roms as the recovery cannot do selinux

Off course I do it all the time just make sure you do a full wipe and you will have no problems.
