Android wont boot up after CWM - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Would you mind explaining how to flash a compatible kernel to my phone via recovery? Also I didn't install any rom just cwm. And where should I get a proper kernel to my android? Sorry for dumb questions, but I'm not experienced enough as you see...

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?

[Q] Safest way to avoid superbrick bug?

Galaxy S2 i9100.
Bad chip.
Bad Firmware: Stock 4.0.4 with (Stock) Kernel XWLPT.
Rooted with S2Root+Using SuperSU.
Searched forums, only similar thread is for Galaxy Tab. I'm assuming it's not relevant enough for me to follow it directly.
If possible, explain it like I'm 5:
What is the safest way to install a custom ROM? (Ideally, I want to install CM9 and later CM10 when it is more stable). I've seen people saying to flash Siyah kernel first, then do whatever afterwards. How can I do this? Almost a complete noob here, what buttons do I press in Odin and what procedure do I follow to flash a safe kernel then a custom ROM.
NB: USB is a little buggy, on-device flashing preferred for that reason.

Yes,, you need to flash a custom kernel.
1. First post your full ROM details
2. Can you confirm that you have ROOT access?
3. If your USB is buggy, you still flash Siyah kernel using mobile Odin, or the temporary CWM recovery. Root access is needed.
Thanks for the really fast reply.

1. Stock 4.0.4 from samsung; Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023
2. 100% have root access. Running Droidwall (which is working) among other things
3. I'm unsure if it's the phone, USB port or drivers which are buggy.
Is it possible to get a definitive procedure to flashing Siyah with mobile Odin? (presuming it's safe to do so). After that, is it safe to just flash the full CM9 ROM with CWM?
The safest way to avoid the emmc bug is to flash a custom kernel. Like siyah or dorimanx. If you have root access, and CWM, you can install one of them. Do you have CWM? well then follow these steps.
-Download a custom kernel. Eg the .ZIP file of the latest version of siyah kernel for S2 from gokhanmoral's site.
-Store it in your internal SD card on your phone.
-Boot into recovery. ( Vol-up + Home + Power button )
-Go to: install zip from SD -> install zip from internal SD
-select the kernel's zip file
-select 'yes'
Let the phone reboot once your done. You should have a custom kernel and no chance of the emmc bug bricking your phone.
The reason I suggest using CWM rather than Odin, is incase you have a faulty usb port, that might pose a problem while installing via Odin.
Hope this helps.

I have root access but no CWM. When I originally rooted the phone the sole reason was for droidwall.
Is it safe to install CWM and flash a custom kernel as long as I don't do any data wipes?
Can I install a custom kernel and have the phone as is (without noticeable differences) until I flash a custom ROM?
What happens to SuperSU and it's settings when I flash a custom kernel (and will I still have root access)?
Finally, if anything screws up what is the recovery procedure? I don't have a copy of this kernel/firmware as I installed it as an OTA update.

You can make a nandroid backup with cwm. That will create an image of the current state of your phone to restore incase necessary. Just make sure u have a custom kernel and follow steps mentioned in the guides on this site and you shouldn't need to worry

Thanks for all the help so far.
I've installed Mobile Odin (v3.35)
I've installed FlashKernel (v2), there was a v1 higher up the page but I'm going to assume that v2 has some bug fixes or other updates (please correct me if I should be using FlashKernel-I9100-v1 rather than v2.
Now, I'm not sure where to go: Should I install CWM or flash straight to Siyah kernel. CWM seems safer since I can do a backup and hopefully have some access if anything goes wrong.
How do I flash CWM with Mobile Odin? Which flash (mode? partition? not sure about terminology here) do I choose (Kernel, ..., etc) and probably importantly: which version of CWM should I be using? I've seen many threads talking about CWM4/5/6. Are they simply updated versions? designed for different kernels/android versions? Are there any specific versions which try to mitigate the superbrick bug?

Flash Siyah kernel straight using mobile Odin. It comes with a permanent CWM recovery too.
Todays almost all kenels are safe
so resure yourself
And be careful, when you flash rom in recoverymod
if. battery is off when flash rom, your device have hard brick
so you must have change your main board
I'm korean.. so my english speak is not so good.

Siyah kernel flashed and working perfectly. Didn't realise how instant it would be. Thanks again to everyone, this community is friendly and helpful.
I'm just wondering as I'm in the same boat as the OP was once in.
When it comes to choosing the Kernel does it matter if its JB based or ICS because I'm on the stock ICS rom.

You don't have root access, right? Flash a custom kernel with Odin (like Siyah), but make sure it's compatible with your firmware. So if you're flashing Siyah, flash the version (v4 and/or v5 is what I thought) that's meant for ICS, otherwise your phone won't work.
Sent from the Matrix
Actually I used another method that allowed me to gain root access, but I'm on stock kernel and rom. I kind of feel safer when flashing a kernel and rom from recovery.
So say I use Siyah ICS for my Stock ICS rom, If I wanted to flash a JB rom like the one leaked from samsung would I need to also flash the Siyah kernel for JB too?
I have I9100T as well and 4.0.4 on it, what do I do? Will Siyah work for me?

[Q] How do i flash CyanogenMod 10 and SiyahKernel?

I have a stock SGS3(4.1.1) pure stock. And now i want to flash CyanogenMod 10 and SiyahKernel.
But i don't know were to start!
What do i need to do before i install Odin(or mobile odin if you guys recommend that)
Please guys can you make me a step by step guide, how to flash CyanogenMod 10 and SiyahKernel?
This is my guess on how to do it:
1.Root
2.Flash a custom recovery
3.Flash CyanogenMod 10
4.Flash SiyahKernal
Probably i am all wrong. And that's why i need your help.
Thank's in advanced
Root with cf root which one have cwm and others steps like u said.
Better see instruction which every rom have on their threads.

So CF-Root have CWM(i i guess that is Custom recovery?)
I guess i have to flash CM10 before i flash the kernal?
Yes cwm is custom recovery.
First install rom than kernel. Wipe your phone from cwm before you install a new rom.

Do you know WHY you want a custom recovery?
Are yo udoing it because other people told you to or because you know what are the pros and cons of doing so?
If you just want root, you can just install Siyah kernel using Odin. That will give you a custom kernel + root. You can only use MobileOdin (which is great!) if you are already rooted.
There is no need to flash CWM or anything else, unless you know exactly what you'll be gaining or losing from it.
I suggest you take a look at the posts from the past 2 weeks and you'll notice that a lot of people are having problems with CWM. The most common is the lack of USB connectivity to the computer.

When i flashed my SGS1. I used ClockWorkMod. So i was thinking i will be needing that for flashing CM10 and Siyah Kernel.
And no. I don't know the pro's and con's with CWM(?).
Do i need cwm when, flashing a ROM and a Kernal?
You need a custom recovery to flash, yes. Root your device, install a recovery, and flash you Rom. There are guides here where all is already written.
As we can't do things for you, it's good to read a bit...

No, you don't.
Just flash SiyahKernel using Odin3 through a USB connection. That's it.
I've done it on SIII of several friends, and in no moment I used CWM.
CWM is so full of bugs it is more trouble than a solution.

Until you fully understand the pro's and con's of a custom recovery, I advise you to keep the stock one.
Read more of the post in these forums, specially the stickiers, read reports of users with problems, and so on. You'll come to the conclusion that a custom recovery, such as CWM, is uncessary for most users.
For what you want, however (which seems to be flashing a custom kernel + rooting), they aren't necessary.
Like I've written, you can flash Siyah using Odin. This will also root your device automatically. From then on, you can simply use MobileOdin to flash kernels and ROMs, while keeping your phone rooted.

From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod
The CyanogenMod source code repository also contains the ClockworkMod Recovery (a "recovery image", maintained by Koushik "Koush" Dutta), which is used to install CyanogenMod and other custom upgrades. A recovery image is a special boot mode, which is used to backup or restore the device's storage and repair or upgrade system software. ClockworkMod Recovery can be automatically installed onto many rooted devices supported by CyanogenMod with Dutta's companion app, "ROM Manager", which is available on the Play Store. CyanogenMod does not need to be installed with a ClockworkMod Recovery, others such as TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project) work just as well. Some users have experienced hard bricks from "ROM Manager".
Just to clear thing's up here!
This is what í will do?(i have choosen to use CWM)
PS. I Don't want to use ODIN(Desktop)
1. I root my phone with CF-Root and install CWM automatic i guess(?)
2. Than i use CWM Manager to flash CM10(?)
3. Than i use ODIN Mobile to flash SiyahKernal(?)
Or could i flash SiyhaKernal first. And than flash CM10 with CWM Manager for example?
Or could i just flash the kernal via odin without rooting my phone before i flash it?
1. Root your phone
2. Install Cutom ROM (CM10)
3. Use CWM (if installed) to flash SiyahKernal
I used Odin to root my phone and I have a CM10.1 nightly installed right now. I am about to flash the Siyah Kernel but I wonder - since I like being up to date with CM nightlies, will installing a new nightly override the Siyah kernel? Will I have to reinstall it every time?
The way I get it is a kernel sits between firmware and hardware - so by installing new FIRMWARE the kernel is untouched. Is that correct? I am glad for any information on this.
Thank you a lot in advance!

The CM nightly roms as with all other s3 roms have boot.img in the zip (i.e the kernel) so yes, flashing a new rom overwrites the kernel.

[Q] Upgrading CWM - the recommended way?

Hi.
I wish to upgrade my stock firmware to CM10, I understand that my current CWM (4.0.0.2) is too old and might cause issues.
I see that there are many ways to install CWM, but in case of an upgrade, should I just use ODIN to flash the latest CWM, overwriting the old one? (I already rooted the phone).
I remember that when I rooted the phone and installed CWM I had to select a specific kernel that matches my vendor/release or something like that (I could be mistaken as to what it was exactly, it has been a while since I did that). I just don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks and sorry if I asked a noobish question.

This is something you dont really need to worry about. Just flash custom kernel and your done. If your using custom roms you dont really need to worry, they all come with CWM included in kernel anyway so when you want to install next custom rom simply reboot into recovery and flash the zip.
If you're flashing a stock rom via ODIN remember to also flash custom recovery so you have CWM aswell as get rid of brick bug.

[Q] SGSII- can't update CWM

Hi everyone.
i rooted my phone with this guide which installed a based CWM recovery on my phone with Siyah-s2-v6.0b4.tar using Odin.
Now i want to run a touch CWM recovery but no matter how i tried- no way worked and i always get the based CWM recovery again.
I tried ROM manager and RECOVERY tools but none of these actually worked (although i got success messages).
I also tried to download the recovery file from the official site of CWM, but when i tried to copy it to my sd card an error message popped out saying copy can't be done and the device is not connected or working or something.. i can copy other zip files without any problem.
can anyone help?
thanks.
1) Do not use Rom Manager with the SGS2. It will break recovery and/or cause bootloops eventually. It may even brick your phone. You don't need it.
2) Any recovery flashed independently of the kernel on the SGS2 will only persist until the next reboot, which is why what you're trying isn't working. If you want a touch version of CWM, flash/run a kernel which has this. Which kernels ? Read the kernel threads in the development section (I don't use PhilZ on my SGS2, but his comes to mind as I use it on my I9505).

thank you very much! i'm relieved i didn't brick my phone, that could have been a mess..
flashing kernels is like regular flashing? just installing the zip file? do i need to wipe any data or cache or something?
thanks for your response.
Follow the flashing instructions for the kernel in question to the letter (always on the first page of the kernel thread, always very clear/precise/easy to follow).

[Q] SHG-I777 Need help with CWM reco installation

Hi ,
I am currently having 4.1.2 official on my SGH-I777, recently rooted it and have mobile odin lite installed.
Need CWM recovery installed so that i can flash SuperNexus2 rom. So i have downloaded recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-i777.zip file from clockworkmod dot com website . Can i flash it directly from the stock recovery which i have now? or any other safe method you can suggest.
In some thread, there was a mention to flash boot.sys file from other kernel using Mobile odin which will get cwm installed.
If this is the way to go, please suggest a safe Kernal. I am just looking to get a stable daily driver for now, as i dont have an alternate phone.
Thanks in advance
the stock recovery isn't good for much, so no, it won't allow you to directly flash the cwm recovery.
Once you're rooted and have mobile odin (&the odin i777 kernel) installed, you're halfway there.

I think the nomswap version will allow you to boot to stock 4.1.2, but I can't promise that, I've never tried it. You should prepare as though you won't be able to return once you hit [flash firmware] from Mobile Odin. It's all covered in the guide.

Yes, if you use AJK v4.8 NoSwap you will be able to boot into your 4.1.2 system.
Also, if you are new to the I777, you should know that the recovery, including CWM recovery, is a part of the kernel, and not in a separate partition, so it can not be flashed separately from the kernel.
