Hello,
a friend owns a nonrooted SG2 with GB 2.3.6 on it.
Now its time to update to a Sammy based custom Rom like Biftor-Rom v14, which is based on XWMS1.
So I will flash PhilZ XWMS! Kernel via Odin on this phone.
After recovery reboot I'd flash the Biftor Rom from PhilZ Kernel.
Will that work?
Or are there other recommendations?
Yes it will work
Upgrading from a lower stock rom to higher one doesnt requires wiping data...

i mean on a pure stock ics rom?
Hello everybody. I have a i9100 with pda: xwlpy, phone: xxlq6, csc: neelp6 on stock 4.0.4 and Dorimanx 5.92 kernel.
Untill now i didn't want CM because of the dialer (really like the Samsung dialer) and other small things, but now i want a clean, fresh install and start.
So i was wondering, can I install this stock LSJ 4.1.2, then root it (or should i install it with mobile odin and try to keep root? i preffer via pc but root is a must), then install Dorimanx 7.26 kernel with mali and then as a second rom this CM 10 4.1.2 ? Then i'll switch dorimanx to battery mode because i'm not that much into gaming.
Are this the latest releases? Any advice before i start working ? (now i'm downloading for ages the stock 4.1.2)
You can root LSJ but not with Dorimax kernel.
You cant use dual boot option (yet).
Yes XXLSJ is latest release.
ok, is that 4.1.2 stock recommanded or another download

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that stock 4.1.2 is a leaked test version and not a official samsung release for u
hence try some other stable Stock ICS 4.0.3 versions for now, till a official JB released from samsung
hm... any eta for that ? that would be great but i'm afraid i'll have to wait some months and move to another country, so i'll have little access to a pc to get in download mode and everything to make a really clean install
Hi,
I want to flash this rom: [Rom][Cdma][Razr][Jb] Rage Rom (1/18/2013). It says I have to be on a Jelly Bean kernel to flash this rom but I don’t understand that.
I installed safestrap. In the stock rom slot, I have the stock ICS. In rom slot 1, I flashed CM10. I am going to create a new rom slot and flash Rage Rom. Could anyone teach me what I need to do?
Hello,
Yesterday I got my SGSII. It's my third Android phone and I'm not new in flashing custom ROMs, although I'm really confused how things work between kernels and custom ROMs here. I got stock ICS 4.0.4 onboard (XWLPW). For now, I flashed Syiah v5.0.1 kernel (which is for ICS) with Odin, so I got root and CWM6. I want to install NeatRom 4.4, which is JB 4.1.2 based. So can I just flash it on top of Syiah v5, or should I flash v6 first and then flash the ROM? Or maybe flash the ROM and kernel v6 before leaving recovery mode?
Sorry for this question, but I really couldn't find the answer, have been searching for it for some hours...
Thanks in advance!
you can flash both files while you're on recovery mode under siyah v5 but you gotta flash the Neatrom zip file first before flashing siyah v6 otherwise you'll only have a stock kernel.
Be aware that you have to do a full wipe before flashing them (which means you have to backup your files) if you don't wanna have bugs.
I have SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE S5830i and installed MindCr Rom v2.4. I wonder if i install another custom rom without flashing back the original stock rom will it work? I had done this before and it causing bootloop problem. Is there other way to do this?
Nope. Backing to stock ROM is important for CM-based custom ROM's. If it's a stock-based ROM, you can install over it but it MUST be a stock-based ROM too. CM7.2-based ROM's need Bieltv.3's kernel flashed via CWM and CM11 needs a MTD-compatible CWM (6.0.5.3 is the only one that works.)
