Hi,
Can anybody let me know on how to downgrade my GT-I9100G device from CM11 to CM10.2 ?.
I upgraded to CM11 unofficial build, but then found lots of bugs and so want to revert back to CM10.2
Thanks.

Thanks, doesn't seem like it was so simple. I had tried that many a times before posting this on to the forum. When I try to install CM10.2 again through CWM, it errors out with (Status 7) error. I did a Wipe/Factory Data Reset, Wipe Dalvik Cache and format system. Tried again but the same error re-appeared (status 7).
So I had to reinstall CM11 and GAPPS for CM11 again to make the phone work with some old bugs again . Camera not working, lag in screen rotation, stock browser not working etc.,
Thanks

status 7 it's cause there's something wrong on the updater script in the Rom build, check the Rom Thread that you've download

Thanks, not sure on what the issue with the Rom could be. I have rooted the device and then installed Blazing Kernel V3 with CWM 6.
Before I decided to upgrade my phone to experimental CM11, I used to apply all CM10.2 Nightlies without any issues.
I have tried to install even CM10.1 stable release through CWM v.6 and the same error comes up.
Further, I have always downloaded ROM's from download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100g or through the CMupdater in the phone.
Can you please let me know, what version of Blazing Kernel should I using on GT-i9100G and how do I flash it safely without fearing of the "Sleep of death" happening.
Thank you.

I'm currently running SHOStock ICS ROM and I want to change it, but every time I try to flash the CM9 ROM in recovery mode, I get an error-
Installation aborted (Status 7). The first time it happened was after I installed the shostock rom (I had the cm9 before and had no problems installing it).
I tried to update CWM through ROM Manager, but it didn't solve the problem.
What can I do to fix it? I searched the forum but didn't find a solution..
Im not sure exactly how to fix that but I've always read that we should avoid Rom Manager on the i777. You might want to sheck the threads about Rom manager errors. I've flashed every rom out there and never used rom manager and never had any problems.
I used rom manager only to update CWM. I haven't installed any rom with rom manager.
last time i found that error with CM9 was because of the build.prop issue. Our phones run i9100 based ROM's alot, there's a line in the updaterscript that looks for phone model, must remove that **** outta there.
And i must say that CM9 sucks if they still have not addressed this well known issue.
Just flash AOKP.
O and, un install ROM manager, its for idiots.
Does this ROM fully support hebrew? (including menus)

Good question. I would say go ask in the AOKP thread, but you don't have enough posts to do that yet...I'll go ask for you. You can just go read the replies to my post.
Problem solved. I flashed AOKP and it worked (no error) ,but after that I flashed CM9 back (more comfortable for me), works perfect. Thanks for the help.
Hi
Im currently running on CM9 Nightlies on Samsung Galaxy S II I9100. I have seen people saying the Siyah Kernel is one of the best out there and many people across forums like it.
My question is if I flash this KERNEL what happens when I flash the next nightlies ?? would the Siyah kernel be over written with the nightly default kernel or would remain as is ?

It will be overwritten. You could try deleting boot.img from the Nightly before flashing (open the .zip and delete, don't extract it), although it might not work - I haven't looked at the script.
no it's fine to flash siyah kernel and if you flash any new room you have to format system and clean delvic cache so it's no problem
Just flash CM9 and then kernel again.
But if CM9 is secondary ROM, then the kernel will remain without changes.

Not true. You do NOT need to format system or clean DALVIK cache before flashing a nightly over a nightly. Get your facts straight.
What's a room?
Thanx for shedding the light...!! I gues will just stick with Nightlies i find they are more matured these days and im better off with them in the long run..!!

Hey Peeps.
I have a SGS2 and I am using Resurrection Remix JB v3.8 by Westcrip
My phone randomly reboots, apps keep crashing, the phone staggers alot sometimes and thats about it
I have been out of the update ROM scene for a while.
My questions are:
- is RR JB still a really good ROM to use?
- if no to the above, what ROM would you guys recommend that is fast and stable?
I really and would appreciate your help
Hopefully I receive some support soon
Thanks

Whilst I understand and appreciate not a single ROM maybe suited to all and its somewhat trial and error process to find out what works best for you, what happens if you dont want to try them all and just want to go with whats popular as I do?
Is there a way of knowing / finding out which ROM's are widely used by forum members?
I just need to get away from RR due to above mentioned issues and dont have the time at the moment to test several ROM's in the process.
What I would like from a new ROM is speed and stability.
Thank you

Maybe try to reinstall the rom with a full wipe, because that's not normal behaviour for a rom otherwise nobody would use it.
There isn't just one answer to your question for the best rom, that's why there are xda-rules as mentioned here above. If you don't want to use nightlies or roms that are still under development, search for an older stable version.

Status 7 generally means you're attempting to install something meant for another device.
Did you note that the file /emmc/rootbox-JB-i9100g v3.2.zip contains i9100g? Do you have an i9100, and not an i9100g? That firmware linked above is for the Rootbox that is in the I9100G development section.
Download the rootbox meant for the i9100 (NOT FOR THE i9100g) and try that. It'll be in either the I9100 Android Development, or I9100 Original Android Development section. I don't remember which one it is, but if you take 5 minutes and look for it, you should be able to find it. If you can't, I'd rethink flashing anything to your phone. No offense, but I'm of the firm belief that not just anyone should flash custom firmwares. If you can't follow directions, for your own sake you should stay on a stock firmware.
so all went OK with the installation, thanks for your help
So far , no apps have crashed and the phone has not rebooted randomly....
Enjoying this ROM so far, its fairly speedy as well
Perhaps I will add a theme on...I am already using Dorimanx 7.21 kernal
thanks

Sorry! So i use gapps for Samsung Galaxy s #, or jelly bean (that is what was on the phone before I messed it up) or gapps for cyanogen 10? The phone attempts to load cyanogen then goes to the setup screen.
Would it be an option to flash back to original ROM?
I don't understand the question. CM is jellybean

Actually I didn't flash anything. That's how I bought the phone. I don't know anything about flashing, but I really appreciate your help.

I Get a notification about the update to version 4.4 BETA 1 of Paranoid Android rom, after downloaded, i flash it via CWM normaly, then flash gapps, but when the phone reboot it stucked at the Galaxy S2 boot logo, and it can boot into recovery, only download mode, but when i open odin to flash CWM but odin can't access the phone and i can't flash, i tried to install usb driver but not success, so what can i do now, please help!
Sorry for my bad English
1) Your English is better than a lot of native English speakers I know.
2) Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General has all the info you need to get a successful Odin flash. Find the thread, try as many of the troubleshooting steps as many times as you need to in order to get a successful flash.
However, don't try one or two things from the thread, come back here & say 'But I tried some of the stuff in the thread & it didn't work. That thread covers this issue from every possible angle, and it's often persistence that fixes these. There's no easy fix in this situation because we're not there looking over your shoulder seeing what you're doing/not doing, and there's nothing which isn't in the thread that can be suggested in this situation.
So...I've (and Hopper has) given you the tools to get your phone fixed, up to you to fix it now.
@nguyenducanh did you manage to fix this?
I have been speaking with the dev (ayysir) of ParanoidAndroid, 4.4beta1 for S2 had a bug with the kernel. The ROM wouldn't boot at all with the stock kernel, but would with any compatible custom kernel (Dorimanx, Gustavo, Apolo -correct versions of these).
The dev has uploaded a new build now which fixes the problem, so if you've managed to recover your phone the new build is safe to use (tested by me)

Good job, I like to hear that someone recovered their phone using that guide and odin :good: make sure you re-download the ROM, you need the build on 0605, not 0604. 0604 is busted, but 0605 is good

That's because of the new theme engine... I saw something on google+ about that. I think it's planned to be re-implemented but may take a while due to complexity..
