Hi all,
I have stock 4.3 mk6 with patched mk6 Kernel and modem. However, this problem has been chasing me through different stock roms ( I have tried it on other non stock roms)
For this example, I am trying to flash: boeffla-kernel-5.1-beta4.CWM.zip
I am using Philz latest CWM6 to install the zip.
Right, Whenever I install the Kernel, once I reboot, I get 'No Service'
I have tried to install the patched modem again, but still no network.
If I re install the patched Mk6 Kernel again, all is well.
Can anyone shed some light as to what I am doing wrong please?
I have added some files for you to look at.
Of course I cannot post in the relevant 'development' thread, as I have a low post score.
Many thanks

Hello experts
may current status are
Kernal - 2.6.35.7 JPKJ2
Baseband - XXKI4
Android - 2.3.5
I'm thinking of installing UltraToxic 8.0.1 with Siyah 2.4.2.
Here are my questions
1. Should I flash the rom first or the kernal?
2. I understand by installing a custom rom i won't be able to use Kies anymore. Any alternatives to backup my phonebook and sms to PC?
This is going to be my first time with a custom rom. Please help.
flash rom first, then kernal.
If you flash kernal first it will be overwritten by the kernal in the rom.
you still can use kies to beck up your phone and messages, kies not will find online updates for your phone with custom roms or stock roms that have been modified.
Thanks for the advice Cosmic. But I cant directly install version 8.0.1 can I? First I need to flash with 8.0 and then update using cwm right?
correct, always follow the developers instructions.
hello,
i have been unable to install custom ROMs on my galaxy s2, various forums indicate the installation took place but in my own case the installation process stops when ever the kernel is trying to unpack the .zip file in order to commence installation. i have followed the step by step procedures of the devs but still havent been able to. especially resurrection and batista. are there any prerequisites i need to follow. i am currently using a rooted SGS2, kernel cf-root 5.2, stockROM XXLPH 4.0.3. thnks much.
i am not an expert when it comes to resurrection or batista, but i believe that some newer roms need at least the cwm recovery that comes with cf-root 5.4 or above, so maybe you should flash a newer stock rom with a corresponding newer cf-root to begin flashing.
or, if you want, you could flash the latest siyah kernel through odin, which is compatible with both stock and aosp/aokp roms and have a nice new touch recovery that is certainly able to flash all roms as well.
also, a problem is also a question and this thread belongs in the q&a section. reported. this time someone will move it for you, in the future, please post in the correct section in the first place, for reference have a look at the thread Questions belong in Q&A.
thank you for the response. kindly advice on what stable stock roms i could try. cus i believe i have also tried with a 5.3 but still same.
just also tried the F1 nexus rom still same. maybe i need to take the S2 back to factory, like repartitioning and all, pls what do you advice cus i think something behind has been messed up.
i also noticed something, when i flash with a stock ROM, the fone reboots into the android sytem recovery and i get an error "dst read(I/0 error)". please what does this mean.
please can someone help , i can only flash ROM's through ODIN, but cannot install zip files through recovery. recovery never unpacks the files and all ROM's come as zip files. please help
Hi. I have an S2 (I9100) and want to flash a custom recovery (have not done that before). I want to keep Samsung "stock firmware" atm, I just want to install a custom recovery (and a custom kernel).
My phone have firmware I9100XXMS4 and Android version 4.1.2 (bought in Sweden, not locked to a carrier).
I have checked for info on the web and on this forum and was going to install "PhilZ-cwm6" but the download links (goo.im) are not working. I also got confused about "kernel code".
"Jeboo kernel" should also work with Android 4.1.2 but I am unsure if it would work with my firmware.
Do I have to use a recovery/kernel that is compatible with my current firmware (I9100XXMS4) or can I use any I9100 recovery/kernel that is compatible with Android 4.1.2?
If i install a custom recovery, I also get a new kernel. Do I also get an new baseband/modem driver?
(If you have tips with what to install and how to do it, I would appreciate it).
@dan_dv
Can you check the firmware? I ask because I couldn't find XXMS4 firmware, only baseband. If you have terminal installed, type getprop and check the entry for ro.build.PDA.
If that is your firmware, I'm not sure whether you will be able to install a modified stock kernel to boot your rom. Philz is no longer maintained, so what is there is all that will be available. You can try the kernel I have attached as it is a similar kernel(as per the advise from Phil)

What kernel to choose:
The important part is the Kernel code:
XWLPX-NEE
Kernel code is in red (LPX), for this example, you need an LPX ROM. However, often, you can mix kernels when they are close: LPF kernel with LPG ROM...
NEE code doesn't matter at all, I add it for reference. It is the CSC
XW: mixed, often doesn't matter for close regions. For example, XW and XX are often interchangeable. However, mixing a BU with an XW ROM or inversly, sometimes works, but often ends in a bootloop. In that case, either boot into recovery or download mode to reflash

Alternatively, you can root your phone by flashing the attached kernel and rebooting straight to recovery, then flash a compatible custom kernel like apolo -->HERE or dorimanx by @chhapil -->HERE
Hello!
Phone Gt-i9300
So i was happily using omnirom for 1 year until my motherboard died last week
so i ordered a new board. i installed it, it was on 4.1.2 unlocked, and i decided to update it without making a efs backup! so dumb!
So i installed a 4.3 Stock ROM, no signal so i had to install
-Patched XXUFMJ9 kernel
- Patched BUUGMJ3 modem
So i can use my phone with no problems in STOCK....
BUT. I hate STOCK..
I have tried to flash omniroom 4.4.4, but it says unknown baseband, uknown imei.. i tried installing omniroom and then installed again the patched modem buugmj3 and ofcourse nothing happened...
So.. my question is.. Am I forced to stick with this TouchWiz Rom? or is there any way for me to do something to get omniroom detecting my signal?
Oh something i was forgeting.. before i updated to stock 4.3... i installed first omniroom.. but i decided to update to stock 4.3 because i was getting signal but it could take 1 HOUR for the phone to get the signal.. and from there signal would lose at any moment.
anyone? i read the FAQ and did this
Q9: I'm sure I've correctly flashed an SGSIII ROM with the right CSC for my network but why can I still not make calls?
If your phone was running an Android version less than v4.3 before you flashed a new ROM then you may need to install a patched modem and, if you upgraded to a newer stock ROM, a patched kernel too such as the zuluman modem FW/kernel. You will usually not need to install a patched kernel if you install CyanogenMod or a CM-based ROM. A number of kernels and modem firmwares patched for Android 4.3+ are available here.

Hello everyone, i know i am really late in the game here by playing with this phone but my friend has one and wants me to fix it up for him. it is completely stock running android 2.3.6. I can't seem to make heads or tails of how to stick a recovery on this thing and flash a rom. can anyone point me in the right direction as how to do this? thanks mates
First thing you need to know is that the recovery is compiled into the kernel, so you don't flash a recovery separately, you just flash a custom kernel and you will have a custom recovery after.
The latest stock firmware for this phone is 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, but since the phone is still on the original 2.3.6 firmware, you could flash the old Siyah kernel and use it's recovery to flash custom firmware.
You need to root the phone first. You can root this phone with Framaroot using the Aragorn exploit. Then go to this post and download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA without ticking Re-Partitioning.
Stable custom Touchwiz based firmware available in the development forum are SHOstock or Cooked. Both are based on 4.1.2, and neither are currently supported but both are stable.
If you want something more recent, there are various aosp based firmwares available in the development forum. You may not be able to flash some of them directly from that old recovery in Siyah 2.6.14, but if you need help, you'll have to try to get some help in their threads, because I don't use those.
Happy flashing, and if you need help, ask.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the benefit of having the recovery compiled into the kernel. Do you think it is better than having them separately, and if so, can you explain why?

You'd have to ask the Samsung engineers why they did that. Since the more common standard is to have the recovery in it's own separate partition, it suggests that is the better solution, I would think.
Having been on a device for a while that has a separate partition for recovery (N5), it's a feature that is extremely comforting in that it is virtually impossible to brick those types of devices.
The way I see it is that having the kernel on the same partition as the recovery is beneficial as more kernels can be built, instead of it being ignored.
