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.)
Your instruction:

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.

Well, I got a couple of things to say here.
1. I didn't make any ROMs here. Please give credit to the rom makers.
2. I'm not sure if this is in the right section, so mods please move it if it isn't.
3. This might have been covered in other phone sections, but this if for Nook!
4. You can actually chose between 1.1 or 1.2 on the dual boot partition.
5. This guide puts the custom ROM on 1st boot, and stock on DualBoot.
6. I'm getting tired typing this. Let's start!
First, download a pre-rooted 1.x. I'm using a file called NookCOlor_v1.1.0_r2.zip.
Find it here: http://www.multiupload.com/XADKR39E9L
Then use ROM Manager to make a FULL backup of your ROM. Start it and Make a new backup.
Now Flash the pre-rooted zip using ROM Manager. ( the one you downloaded)
DO NOT WIPE DATA!
I'm serious, I did and screwed up everything. Don't wipe when flashing this!
Reboot. Should now be on stock!
Download this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20480343/eclair-to-dual-boot-flashable-v0.2.zip
Flash that.
Ok, now you should have 1, 1.0.1, or 1.1 on the db partition.
Lastly, flash your custom rom over the first partition (just flash normally)
Now boot into 1.1/1/1.0.1. Update the firmware to 1.2. Root goes bye bye, but 1.2 comes in with all the new features!

1) At least post a url (one with the w w w. stuff in it).
2) Doesn't it have to be a special dualboot rom?
3) Little more detail in general would be nice.
I'm a little confused too. I've been asking around for dual-boot flashable ROM's but I'm not sure this is it.

I am currently running dualboot with cm7 on the original partition and eclair nootered on the secondary partitioon. This was done a while back with the eclair to dual boot flashable.
What I don't understand from your instructions is how one can update eclair to 1.2 on the secondary partition without ruining the cm7 partition.
Flashing any roms flashes them to the primary partition unless someone makes one that is customized to flash to the secondary partition.
I am not sure that has been done yet.
If someone from the flash dualboot thread could I would be very happy

I just want to make this clear because you haven't.
This will give you a dual-boot setup but it wipes EVERYTHING on your device in the process. This will not let you update your dual-boot eclair stock without destroying the primary partition.
If you want to save the primary partition and update the dualboot stock firmware to 1.2 then you need a custom modded install file.

I sort of bricked my nook yesterday but I'm working on that and will post results if it completely works good.
Hi, I'm running a stock P500 and I'm a bit disappointed with its performance. I'm looking for a ROM which is feature-complete, i.e. no missing features such as Bluetooth calling, etc. and minimal to no deviation from the stock Android UI. Any suggestions?
use megatron ROM it is the closest in my opinion and has very good performance but i would suggest trying the other ROMs that have gingerbread like miks cm7 they are not missing much and what they are missing you can get back

Do as what you are told on their page.. I or the dev will not be responsilble.
Ok, so this is all kinda new to me so I wanted to make sure that I have the basics covered:
1. I need to root my phone. I'm running Android 2.2.2 so I guess that means I need to use gingerbreak. It's an .apk file that I need to install on my phone and then I run it to gain root access. Are there any command line actions needed for gingerbreak?
2. After rooting, I need to install a ROM manager such as CWM or AmonRA. If I'm not mistaken, the program itself will install the custom recovery, right? And how do I boot into that recovery mode?
3. After booting into recovery mode, I need to do a nandroid (?) backup of my current ROM, right? And the backup of my stock ROM is restored through the same custom recovery, yes? Would restoring the stock ROM unroot my phone and remove the custom recovery as well?
3. After backing up, I need to flash the custom ROM which should be saved as a .zip file on my SD card. Do I need to worry about the kernel as well?
Sorry if I have a lot of questions.

1. Install it, open it and select "Root"
2. No, the root program won't install the recovery. You need to do that; the easiest way is by Rom Manager (download from market); boot in recovery: turn off the phone and start it by pressing at the same time: home + vol down + power key and release at lg logo to enter custom recovery or just select boot into recovery from ROM Manager
3. Yes, make a backup and to restore it just select "restore" from the same place. No, you will restore the backup you just made so your phone will be exactly the way it was when you created the backup (including apps, settings etc)
4. Yes, you will enter "install zip from sdcard -> choose zip". Don't forget to wipe cache, dalvik cache, data/factory reset and format /system before you flash the rom. Other kernels are not mandatory but highly recommended (the differences are big) - also wipe just cache & dalvik cache before flashing the kernel

Thank you. What are the precautions that I need to take to make sure I don't brick my phone? Also, what are the chances of my phone getting damaged and at which point during those steps is it most likely to happen?

The chaces of bricking the phone are very small.
What can happen:
- some people reported that their phone got bricked when they installed the recovery with ROM Manager (this can be easily undone, there is a thread about this). Never happened to me, everything went smooth & fast. There are other ways to install a recovery if you don't want to use ROM Manager, just check the Development section.
- the ROM you choose can be uncompatible with your recovery (all the new roms are compatible with clockworkmod recovery (this is the recovery you will install via ROM Manager); there are some older roms which are compatible only with AmonRA)
- after flashing a custom kernel the phone might not boot (no panic, just flash the rom again or restore backup); check if your ROM is compatible with the kernel you choose
Flashing with recovery is very safe because everything can be easily undone. As long as the phone boots into recovery there is no panic.
But most of the time if your cautious and do everything as told your fine~~
hahaha.. Enjoy..
Rom manager give Cwm.. So no hassle..

Thank you. When I backup my stock ROM, the output is a .zip file which is no different from how the custom ROM zips are packaged, right? Also, would you know if Gingerbreak supports unrooting? I appreciate all of your help and I'm quite excited to root my Optimus One.

Your backup will appear as a folder on the root of your sdcard (/clockworkmod/folder with the date of your backup). You need to save that folder on your pc just to be safe.
Yes, gingerbread supports unrooting

Thanks! Is it safe to do all the flashing/work from within ROM Manager? It just seems too easy to be true.
Also, is there a 'compatibility matrix' of some sort for the different ROMS and kernels available? Since I want GB, I'm planning on flashing Mik's CM7 mod. Is Franco's kernel compatible with that?

I say it's pretty safe. As I said, worked like a charm for me.
mik_os's rom is flashable via clockworkmod recovery and compatible with franco.kernel (bfs version).
If you are interested in a froyo stock rom with just the root and a performant kernel like franco's one, I could cook a rom for you...

Thanks. I was able to gain root as well as install CWM. I'm currently backing up my current ROM. Now I'm not sure if this is a stupid question but when I install a custom ROM, wouldn't that overwrite CWM? How do I go back to recovery then, say, to reflash my original ROM?
Flashing a rom through recovery does not overwrite the recovery.
And you can always boot into recovery by pressing and holding home+volume down+power when the phone is off till the recovery menu boots.

I'm just about to flash my first custom ROM. It's all quite clear up to this point. I'm not so sure about the kernel though. Is it all done via the Recovery console? Which options/commands should I take? And what about the ZRAM initializer?

For flashing rom : wipe everything, partition SD card only of you want to use a2sd or data2sd (check ciaox's REPO thread for more info about these two) and then choose flash from zip. If you are wiping battery stats then do it when you are fully charged.
For flashing kernel : wipe cache,dalvik cache and battery stats. No need to partition SD card.
EDIT: yes you need to flash zram initialiser. Keep in mind to flash Cfs version for froyo and bfs version for gb roms. Also always reboot between multiple flashes.

Here I will give you the steps you need to have fully working dualboot, I mean, what worked for me as the steps on on specific Dualboot threads didn't seem to work for me. When I have time, I will do a video illustration; just ask for clarification where you might need. here we go.
1. Download Googy Max2 Kernel. Thanks to @googy_anas
2. Download devil recovery or here thanks to @DerTeufel1980
3. Save the Secondary, CM11 ROM in your internal sdcard.
4. Reboot into recovery and flash Googy Max 2 Kernel and reboot phone, make sure you have Stweaks application, if not download it from the playstore. Here is the Link
5. Launch Stweaks application and go to dualboot tab, select reboot into secondary ROM utils.
6. In the recovery, go dualboot menu and format secondary ROM System.
7. Go to main menu in recovery and scroll to advanced, and select reboot to recovery, this should take you to the currently installed Recovery, i.e. Philz or TWRP, you need that.
8. Flash devil recovery and select reboot recovery after it's completed.
9. after the reboot, go to dual boot menu and select create secondary system image, this should take sometime, wait for it to finish, and after it's done, to to main menu and get ready to flash. P.S. You need at least 2GB of internal storage for smooth running.
10. first backup your current ROM, this should be Samsung 4.3
11. Go to mounts and storage, and select storage menu for Secondary Fs>mount /system and go back.
12. Go to install zip>Choose zip>Rom to secondary Fs, locate and flash, make sure you have a backup of that ROM since it gets modified to always install as Secondary ROM, incase you might need it if you happen to get bored with dualboot.
13. Go to install zip>Choose zip>zip to Secondary Fs and locate your gapps and flash.
14. Go to install zip>Choose zip>kernel, Recovery or modem, locate Googy Max2 Kernel and reflash it since the new ROM flashed it's default kernel.
15. Go to main menu and reboot secondary system now, Googy Max2 Kernel will handle it.
16. Just in case you try to reboot into primary ROM and it doesn't work, reboot into recovery and wipe data or clean install for Primary ROM and restore your backup, everything should now be perfect.

there is an error because step 6 and 9 are in fact the same. devil recovery is not capable do redo the 2nd rom partition if googy 2nd rom utils recovery hast already done it. espacially with newer roms the in stweaks built in recovery should not be used anymore because it cannot handle recent roms (kitkat based). so its better to directly use the format in devil recovery instead of stweaks way.
there are by the way also alternatives for dualbooting for example by using directly the newest devil kernel. then you can also use the improved devil recovery which is able to flash directly without modifing roms as second rom. it can even handle aroma based roms as second rom while the older recovery is often not able to do so (newer devil recovery cannot be used with googy kernel)
Correct me if em wrong .. I didn't followed steps 6 coz I knw it from d very first day of devil's conditions..
N yeah S tweaks is still working well with new kitkat baseed roms ( cm11 build 9 /05/14 ) .. .. y should we go to devil recovery n den reboot to primary or secondary rom wen Stweaks can easily handle this with an ease .... ya em quite agree with d new devil recovery n recommend to others to try out d new devil improved kernel ...

Hello. I have galaxy S2, and I wanted to install CWM. I installed it (CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100) with odin with auto reboot unchecked and after that it doesn't boot up. It can go to odin and CWM modes, but the android doesn't launch. I did a recovery to phone storage, but still I cant launch the phone... Can anyone help me?
Flash a compatible kernel to your installed rom via recovery. Or you can flash an insecure kernel via Odin.
Simple cwm flashing won't boot up your phone.

Well, there are 3 kernels which are quite popular here which have their depth range till kitkat roms.. A simple search on xda for them will lead you to the respective threads.
1. Gustavo's
2. Dorimanx
3. Apolo
If you want a KK rom then download a KK compatible kernel mentioned in the op for those threads, put that on external sdcard and boot to recovery. There you can flash the Kernel file. As you don't have a rom on your phone it would be better if you download a rom and gapps package too and flash them. After flashing a kernel, reboot to recovery and then flash rom and gapps.
If it's difficult for you to put those files on sdcard, you can flash a stock rom via Odin, flash a kernel e.g. philz, apolo,hirox via Odin. Search for these keywords here on xda. Once you have a working kernel and rom, you can download a custom rom and gapps, put it on your phone and follow the procedure which I mentioned first.
If my steps are still confusing to you then you require to search for these terminologies here on xda,read and understand them carefully and then proceed.
You didn't mention what OS/Firmware was on your phone before you started.....this is VERY important to know as it will decide what you can / cannot flash.....
Custom kernels are OS version dependent.....some will only work with ICS, others will only work with JB.....some are exclusively for KK.
You need to check this.....
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right

well I couldn't check cause it couldn't boot up, unless there's another way... But whatever I managed to write 4.4.2 Kitkat on my S2 and there's alot missing feature's like, I cant organise my program menu, I cant add many widgets that I had used in my previous android, there are no notes, phone file explorer and other what is irritating... Maybe there's some another pack that I missed when installing or what?
Hi,
I have the i9100 device. I just flashed Samsung's default Stock ROM on it, using ODIN and it is booting.
I want to know how to install root and then TWRP on this now?
The problem is, TWRP is only releasing an IMAGE file and not a zip or a tar file.
How do I flash this IMAGE into my recovery partition? What is the recommended way of doing it. None of these tutorials are explaining this to me.
Do I have to install CWM first? I am confused. If you can give me a step-by-step overview of what to do, that would be great.
Thanks

Hi,
What I am planning to do tomorrow is
a) Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip - this gives me root and CWM recovery
b) Then go into CWM recovery, and flash the IsoRec_TWRP_3.0.0-0_i9100.zip - Will this work?
c) Then I go to TWRP recovery, and then install REPIT, then CM ROM, and then Gapps-pico.
- How this deviates from your quote is;
a) Why do I need the philz cwm 6 Kernel (root).zip ? Is this a pre-req for CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip ?
b) Why flash the cm 11 20161222.zip if I am going with the latest CM 12+ later?
Please clarify... thanks.

Hi zetret
I prefer philz because it is a save kernel (can be done in many other ways like yours)
For flashing twrp3 you need isorec kernel otherwise twrp will not show up.
That's why I use cm11 which has isorec kernel.
And I can there also use triangle away ( doesn't work on latest builds).
and because large roms like cm 13/14 and I think cm12 with large gapps cannot be installed right away because installation will get stuck.
that's why I install cm11 as step in between to increase partitions first.
You do not have to boot cm11 - boot just twrp to continue.
There are many ways to do all this (could flash isorec kernel.....)
to me it's a simple and clean way without using pc

@zetret
I'm replying to you here because it is getting OT in the other threads
The best advise I can give(and one of the core rules of XDA) is start searching in XDA, searching on the internet for the answers to your questions. This site is not for spoon-feeding everyone who is new to this.
But to try to clear up a couple of things:
The original kernel partition in the S2(i9100) "housed" the kernel and recovery together. This is why when you install an older kernel(pre isorec) you are over-writing both the kernel and recovery. So if the kernel is not compatible with the rom, then you will get a bootloop if you try to boot into the system. You can still use this recovery however. You need to decide if you are flashing the kernel to use the kernel to boot the rom OR use the recovery even if the kernel is no good to you.
Isorec changed this. Instead of using the bundled recovery in the kernel(it is still there), you are using the new isorec recovery in the previously unused recovery partition(once you have flashed it there). Once you have flashed the isorec recovery it will stay there. No need to flash it again. An isorec kernel is needed to recognize and boot the isorec recovery, otherwise the bundled recovery will be used.
Please use the search function in future. This is only spoon-feeding I will give.
I apologize. These steps only work if there current Kernel you have is "isorec" compatible. For the Kernel that I had on one of my devices, I went to its thread, and searched for "isorec" and there was no mention of it - which apparently here means that it is not compatible.
If you don't have a Kernel that is isorec compatible, please follow the suggestion offered below, and get to an "isorec" compatible Kernel like 'Siyah-Dorimanx-V8.70-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE-DRAGON-TRIM". I will try this and update this thread later.

@zetret
so you still think it is not rude to say about me:
"Just ignore the other guy. He does not know what he is talking about"
(and you gave wrong advice at the same time)
and in Lanchon isorec thread you said also to me in post 546:
"........You have also shown no understanding of what isosrec means......"
So this is coming from you, a person who had at this time not even the basic knowledge about isorec
only by asking in lanchons thread NOW you found out about the need of isorec compatible kernel.
(which i already told you BEFORE in post 4).p
Now you keep in Lanchons thread complaining and blaiming others why you did not know and unterstand isorec.
You should really show some respect for people here like @the.gangster who is giving the community a lot of support and detailed knowledge in many posts.
For future...
To anyone reading in the future, this is just an overview of what to do.
#: Backup your contacts and photos to your laptop.
a) Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip - this gives you root and CWM recovery
b) Now, backup your current (Android 4.1.2+root) and reboot to recovery
- If at any point, anything fails, you can restore this and start again.
c) Wipe everything (Factory reset+cache)
d) Install CWM version (philz_touch_6.25.0-i9100.zip) for i9100 from here (https://mega.nz/#F!oZ1QDDbC!Ko20UNhowwIlXLVFjJsyKw!lR9AARIa)
- This upgrades your CWM and is apparently a step needed to get to TWRP.
e) Install any IsoRec compatible Android custom ROM and don't reboot
- Check this for more info: (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nofficial-i9100-cyanogenmod-11-build-t3405634)
f) Install a compatible TWRP file that some people have packaged as a ZIP! If you go to the official downloads folder, you will ONLY find an IMAGE file and for new users, we don't know what to do with that.
- Search for something like recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-TWRP-3.0.2-1-i9100.zip
g) Reboot to recovery
h) You should be able to see TWRP now!
i) Now, you can install Lanchon's REPIT. If you need more help - follow wonderful guides like this to get everything up and running -
__a) http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...0-1-marshmallow-rom-on-galaxy-s2-repartition/
__b) For ROM installation: http://highonandroid.com/android-ho...-marshmallow-rom-using-twrp-failproof-method/
j) Thanks! and if I missed some steps and made it difficult to understand, please correct me. I failed many times and wrote this from my memory and therefore, some things may be missing.
Also, the first three steps above may not be necessary. For some reason, Step 'd' failed for me initially from Stock Rom and I had to do step 'a', but this may not be the case for you. Having that backup in Step 'b' is worth it.

To anyone reading in the future, this is just an overview of what to do.
#: Backup your contacts and photos to your laptop.
a) Install CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip - this gives you root and CWM recovery
b) Now, backup your current (Android 4.1.2+root) and reboot to recovery
- If at any point, anything fails, you can restore this and start again.
c) Wipe everything (Factory reset+cache)
d) Install CWM version (philz_touch_6.25.0-i9100.zip) for i9100 from here (https://mega.nz/#F!oZ1QDDbC!Ko20UNhowwIlXLVFjJsyKw!lR9AARIa)
- This upgrades your CWM and is apparently a step needed to get to TWRP.
e) Install any IsoRec compatible Android custom ROM and don't reboot

I'd still recommend you to follow either post #2 or this one which is slightly outdated but still valid. Only syntax of repit.zip changed (needs units now) and the IsoRec-twrp in step 7 is meanwhile available as version 3.0.2-1. But if you read both, you should be able to succeed.
Hi, you cannot flash it straight,
so you can follow my step-by-step tutorial for flashing Recovery +/- ROM and +/- reformat.

I figured this one out
To use Philz CWM 6, do I have to downgrade from 5.0.1 to 4.4.x? Or will it work with 5.0.1?
