ok so i rooted my s2 , then i put the stock kernel back in .
is there a guide to show me what i have to do next ,because if i try putting my phone into download mode and try to back up the current rom or even try to install the miui rom .
all i get is a error saying failed to verify etc
can someone direct me to a guide showing me how to prep the s2 after rooting it so that i can change the rom on it .i have tried to find something showing me but cant seem to find a detailed guide
thanks in advance
You do not use download mode and Odin for flashing roms your lucky you haven't bricked it.
To flash a rom you need clockwork recovery so you need to flash a kernel that has clockwork embedded the reboot to recovery backup wipe and flash new rom

All the specific rom threads have detailed step-by-step instructions in their own threads. Which one are you trying to install?
Ok maybe this is the right place to ask another newbie question. I rooted my phone with hellcats' kernel (KF1). So now can I install any ROM. The reason I ask is coz I want to flash Litening ROM XXKG3 (i currently have stock ROM 2.3.3) and am confused if I need to have kernel KG3 in order to do so. Thanks in advance.

thanks for the reply , the rom i fancy putting on is the miui rom
thanks for the reply , the rom i fancy putting on is the miui rom
Then go to that post read it all understand what you are doing .
Follow the instructions dont make it up .
Install instructions:
- Reboot to CWM
- if you are coming from other rom (full wipe): wipe /system, /cache, /data and Dalvik-cache
- upgrade: wipe /system
- install zip from SD-card, select MIUI-1.X.X-beta.zip
Note that it is a beta Rom at your own risk .

thanks a lot man.
er no you dont need root....
1. Download any version of CWM from here
2. Get desired rom (kernel too if you want)
3. Place everything in Externel SDcard
4. Boot into stock recovery (Power+Home+Vol up)
5. Use stock recovery to flash CWM
6. Backup Current stock rom
7. Wipe the usual
8. Flash Custom rom (Or just kernel)
9. Reboot
10. ?? Profit ??
Now you got Custom rom or Kernel + Full stock rom backup (can always get stock rom from sammobile if you lose it)

Guys I need help with rooting and installing CWM recovery on my phone so i can install custom roms. Im running on stock 4.03 ZSLPE...What is the safest way for me without bricking my phone. Because 1 of my friends super bricked his phone after trying to install a custom rom..Plz help
Try cf-foot ( kernel ) or try the zip methord ( i forgot the link , search in google ,this is a little bit safer )

Thank u for the response. But im a bit scared flash or wipe in temp touch recovery. Because a friend of mine got his s2 super bricked while trying to flash on stock 4.04 kernel. does this emcc bug affect 4.03 stock kernels as well? So can i just flash the latest Siyah Kernel using ODIN ??
Any time you root/flash a Rom theres a chance to brick your phone. What -Grift- said is the easiest and best way to flash a custom Rom in my opinion. Just make a Nandroid backup, delete data and cache, install the zip file from your SD card. I've flashed 4 Roms so far with this phone, all successfully. Currently I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on my DINC 2. Good luck on whatever method you choose.

Go into download mode, connect your phone to your computer and use Odin to flash a custom kernel to your phone. That done, you have root and you're safe from the emmc superbug. (EDIT: although 4.0.3 doesnt have the bug, if thats what is bothering you) You can then flash a custom rom or whatever else you please. Use the TAR version of siyah v4.1.5 from www.gokhanmoral.com
Instructions on how to use Odin are available all over this site and on the web in general. Search and you'll get it.
If you don't wanna use Odin, your only other option is flashing temporary CWM. Search for rachmat3's method or use the one mentioned above. All three are equally safe provided you read up on the procedure adequately.
99.9% of the phones getting bricked is coz people jump headlong into the procedure without first bothering to educate themselves on how to go about it. They get what they deserve.

If noobs on xda have taught me one thing, its that smartphones just aren't for everyone.
Or just wipe only when you have flash the rom (custom recoveries are safe e.g siyah dorimanx)
Edit: AFAIK 4.0.3 are safe the bug is with leaked 4.0.4?

Hi All..
Im pretty much a noob..last week i decided to install cyanogenmod on my phone.Im using international version of Galaxy Note GTN7000.
I saw there was a windows installer on cm website..but wanted to make a backup of my current rom..
i rooted my phone using kingo android root..installed rom manager..flashed latest clockworkmod recovery..
but on booting into recovery,i found stock recovery was being forced..i read somewhere it was because of unlocked bootloader..
on cyanogenmod wiki page,i found installation of clockworkmod recov using heimdall..everything went fine ...blue progress bar was shown in the download mode...and when i rebooted into recovery mode i saw the first danger sign..there was a yellow triangle beneath galaxy note logo..
and then it booted into clockworkmod recovery 5.8..Foolishly i did a system backup..rebooted...surprised to find phone went into black screen after displaying a note logo with yellow triangle beneath..tried recovery from clockworkmod without hope but that didnt work as expected...
This is the situation..All i need now is to install cyanogenmod 10.1.3 stable on my device..i dont want a custom rom backup anymore..
'but i saw in forums i will need to flash a custom rom from sammobile...
All help will be appreciated.Pleasen help..

At first flash a Samsung firmware through Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I recommend you not using Rom Manager. Have a look at PhilZ's thread for having a safe kernel and custom recovery to be able to backup and flash what you want.

I really don't like this CM installer... Toolkits won't help you in case of trouble.
Download a firmware from SamMobile and flash it with Odin then you will be able to install PhilZ and your CM rom (or another one )

Yes you can but the most important thing on N7000 is to have a SAFE kernel before wiping or flashing from recovery. (more details in the N7100 sections)
Here are the general instructions to flash a new custom rom:
1. Having root and a working custom recovery (updated)
2. Boot into recovery mode (VOL DOWN + POWER + HOME) then VOL UP to accept the warning.
3. Make a Nandroid backup and backup your EFS.
4. Full wipe: wipe data (factory reset), cache, dalvik and system. Recoveries are different. You may need to go to another menu to format the system partition.
5. Flash rom
6. Flash Gapps
7. Reboot normally
Hello,
because I have not 10 postings, I can not post directly into http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...04-googy-max2-kernel-2-3-1-cm-camera-t2517875 but I think my questions in mostly related to this.
I have a stock 4.3 ROM installed on my 1st ROM, and now I want to install a 2nd ROM (also stock rom with different branding) on my phone.
I have installed Googy (newest version, 2.3.1), sTweak and can boot in Googy Recovery Options.
1.) When I click on "install zip to 2nd ROM from external SD" and select the Stock ROM Zip file from Sammobile-Firmware-Donwloads, then it's aborting.
I think I can not install a stock ROM out of Googy CWM directly as 2nd ROM? I am right?
2.) If I am right, and it's not working, my next plan is to clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM, then I could boot 2nd ROM and then flash the 2nd ROM with Mobile ODIN to my selected 2nd STOCK ROM with different branding. But when I select "Clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM" in Googy CWM, then error message comes up:
Not enough Space on SD. Available 0MB
But I have lots of free space on internal and external Memory. And 2nd ROM should be empty at the moment, because I try to install 2nd ROM first time. I have tried it with "Format 2nd ROM system" before, and also tried with other Wipes-Selections for 2nd ROM before.
So I end up with 3 questions
- I am correct with 1.) that I can not flash (install) the stock ROM in Googy CWM Boot Menu directly?
- Why I get the "No Space" Error in 2.) "Clone 1st ROM to 2nd ROM"? And how I get rid of it?
- And last but not least the most important question ... is there a better and easier way to get the result I want: Two installed Stock ROMs, only difference in Branding (two different Firmware-files), both same Android Version (4.3), both Stock ROMs (but different ones).
I tried things the whole day, hope somebody can help. Thanks a lot in advance!
Informations:
- Galaxy S3 I9300
- Android 4.3
- Googy already installed, sTweak installed
- Phone rooted
- Last ROM update (standard 1st ROM) to 4.3 with Mobile ODIN, Googy installed after this
- CWM installed also, before installing Googy (both after last update with mobile ODIN)
you can install your second rom by "Stweak" app from google market... open itand Dualboot>Reboot into 2nd Rom UNTILS
then it will take you to special recovery.. dual boot opinion > formate second rom then install the new rom I not think it need a Clone
good luck

That's a complete other way with different kernel, I read much of How-To's right now, why it don't work with the setup and way I posted with the Googy Kernel and sTweak?
Some more details to my questions and what is wrong in my doing would be really nice to understand.

fact is that googy max kernel is based on syah kernel. from there comes the "second roms util" from stweaks which is able to create a temporary recovery for the second rom. unfortunately this is closed source by the syah kernel dev, so it was never possible to update this recovery so it cannot handle newer roms.
Now there are to possibilities: 1) you can use the recovery provided by devil kernel (but not his latest one, but the one which is linked in googy max thread). it will transform your rom.zip so that it will be flashed to second rom. note that this is not posssible with aroma roms. If it is one then option 2)
2) use devil recovery as above. backup primary rom. install the desired second rom as primary, make a nandroid of it. restore it as second rom and restore also your old primary rom.
there is also a how to in googymax thread in the q&a thread: how to install second rom with devil recovery
3) you can use devil kernel with his latest recovery. there you can even flash most of the aroma based roms (and also the normal not aroma based ones) directly as second rom
4) you can use arter97's kernel, there you can use each recovery you want. but there it is more complicated to flash a stock rom as second rom as you have to rewrite yourself the update-script of the zip. (cm based roms can simply be flashed with his multi-boot zip, though)
Thanks for more information in detail Darkened_Sky. I want to flash a normal stock ROM to 2nd ROM, so no Aroma ROM workaround is needed I think. I want to flash it directly, that would be nice, without cloning first and with ROM from sammobile Firmware Download. So I will try this:

sammobile does only provide tar.md5, which has to be flashed with odin with pc (or mobile odin) they cannot directly be flashed within any recovery. therefor you have to use a custom rom of this site or the stock rom provided by justarchi which is in zip format. this is his latest one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/rom-justarchis-sammy-stock-deodex-root-t2762714
but you can still flash your primary rom with odin and then flash the recovery and then install a recorey rom.zip as second rom

difference is: older devil recovery transforms your rom.zip so that it will be installed to second rom. after that it can only be flashed as second rom. and it takes some time. latest devil recovery directly flashes it as second rom, and after that the rom.zip can still be used for primary if needed.
Note: if you test devil kernel, that don't uae the kernel in the OP. his newest kernel and recovery are somewhere in his thread, so you have to search a bit
Thanks again, I think I have understand most of the things you write, but not this:

Would be nice when you explain it more for a newbie.
And I think, the thing that makes my situation a bit more difficult, is that the second ROM must be a also original Stock ROM. So perhaps I try it with Zipped Stock ROMs you have linked from justarchis: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/rom-justarchis-sammy-stock-deodex-root-t2762714
But he writes ROMs are a bit changed. And I need a exact stock ROM with a branding out of germany from german provider, I think justarchis will not provide this. So in the end I think, I can not use this solution.
What's about a solution:
- install latest devil recovery
- Go to Googy CWM Boot menu - 2nd ROM options - Clone 1st to 2nd ROM (Then it works, after update with newest devil recovery? And option for cloning is stil there after install devil recovery? This works also with the "not latest" devil recovery out of the mentioned posting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47249482&postcount=2)
- After Cloning Boot the 2nd ROM
- After booting second rom, start mobile odin and flash stock ROM without Kernel and without recovery (Without Kernel/Recovery to stick to kernel and recovery of googy/devil, to be able to switch ROMs without reinstall kernel/recovery).
In this case mobile odin understands to flash correctly the 2nd ROM and not the 1st one? (mobile odin reboot the device, and I don't understand how mobile odin can differ between 1st and 2nd ROM)
Thanks a lot!

I see now what you want
mobile odin will always flash to primary rom! and it will destroy your second rom if you already have one
I would suggest you the nandroid method:
1) install with mobile odin the rom you want to have later as second rom, and also a custom recovery (latest devil if you want to use devil kernel, older devil recovery if you want to use googy max). if you have the paid version use the keep root option
2) reboot and look how it works
3) (install googy max kernel (or devil) within your custom recovery) edit: not needed
4) maybe reroot your rom within the recovery (there is an option)
5) make a nandroid backup of your primary rom to, if possible, external sd_card
6) reboot your phone and use again mobile odin to flash your other stock rom, and again your needed recovery (and root)
7) reboot, look if it works and reboot to recovery
8) flash your desired kernel and create within the recovery your second rom
9) in the recovery there should be an option to switch to the "second rom mode"
10) restore your first nandroid backup as second rom
11) reboot into second rom and look if it works.
12) voila your configuration :good::good:
What I want is pretty easy to brake describe, but to be sure all is clear, I will describe a bit different to first posting again:
- Dual ROM with two stock ROMs:
- Both Stock ROMs, only difference in Branding (two different Firmware-files, with Branding of two different Companies/Provider. Best if I can use original stock rom firmware file from sammoble),
- both same Android Version (4.3).
- New: My 1st ROM, primary active ROM, is already installed. In the end with dual boot config, this ROM should be the 1st ROM again. The second ROM should be the new ROM, with different firmware branding.
- New: 2nd ROM should be a fresh (clean) ROM or "wiped"
Thanks for your last explanation. I read so much, and thought it would be much easier to get me dual stock ROM configuration. My first ROM, primary and active ROM, is already installed. When I read your last explanation, I have to start with Step (5), because I have already my first active ROM, which should be in the end my 1st ROM again. So I think I have to change the whole steps, because I can not begin with your step 1.)

I will write down the steps as I think how it could work with using your explanation. A review in detail would be nice. Thanks in advance
1) Make a nandroid backup of your actual active primary 1st ROM to, if possible, external sd_card. Need this back up, to reinstall as 1st ROM later.
2) Reboot your phone and use mobile odin to flash your 1st stock ROM now (to the firmware which should be 2nd ROM in the end), with recovery and root
3) Reboot, look if it works and then reboot again to recovery
4) In the recovery there should be an option to switch to the "second ROM mode". Use this to move 1st ROM to 2nd ROM.
5) Also in Recovery menu: Restore your first nandroid backup as 1st ROM (to have the first primary ROM backup as 1st ROm again)
6) Check if both ROMs work.
In your explanation was a step ...
8) flash your desired kernel and create within the recovery your second rom
... I don't know how to integrate it, because don't understand it.
You wrote...
10) restore your first nandroid backup as second rom
... I think you meant "restore your first nandroid backup as first rom", right?
This is really the easiest way to get my configuration? So there is no "direct install stock ROM from sammobile as second ROM" solution?. Because this second stock ROM installation as 2nd ROM is the only part which is missing at the moment.
I also only need a fresh (clean) 2nd ROM installation, not a clone of 1st ROM, this is also a workaround. But I can wipe data for 2nd ROM at the end.
Big thanks!

no I meant it as I said. because my idea was it to first flash your desired second rom as first rom, backup it and later restore it as your second rom. but you can also do your way
with create second rom step i meant that you have to create the second rom partition in which you can restore your nandroid.

sadly I cannot think of a better way, because there is no possibility to directly install a stock rom in the tar.md5 format as second rom. only ".zips" can be flashed in recovery. Only alternative would be to transform the odin tar.md5 into a flashable zip, but that would be really complicated (there is somewhere a how to thread, but trust me it is way to complicated, if you can still use an alternative instead)
btw. there is no option "move 1st rom to second rom" in devil recovery, if I remember correctly (but not really sure atm). You have to do it manually (make a nandroid backup and restore it as second rom)
otherwise, your steps should work.
Ah, ok. First I have to decide if I want to do it by the "Newest-Full-Devil-Kernel"-way or by the "Googy-with-Not-Latest-Devil-Revovery"-way. Then I hope it's ok to explain the steps in detail in the googy-thread or the devil-thread, to get agreement there that this steps should work.
And I thought it would be easy.
Big Thanks Darkened_Sky!
Of someone has other ideas, please let me know.
