Are you trying to install 4.2+ rom? if yes you need to:
wipe/date
wipe/cache
wipe/dalvik cache
go to mounts and storage if you have CWM or wipe advanced wipe if in TWRP
format/system in CWM
Check system in advanced wipe in TWRP
flash the rom
reboot
If you are trying to install 4.1.2 you need to:
wipe/date
wipe/cache
wipe/dalvik cache
flash the rom
reboot

Hi mate.
Did you flash the boot.img first and then the rom?
No offence but your description of how the error occurred needs a bit more information. Give us more details over what you have done and in what steps, and then I'm sure we can help you.

First time I flashed my phone it didnt work proper.
So I flashed the boot.img again and then updated with the update.zip (after resetting everything ) in the phone a second time and then it worked.

Try to flash a new kernel/reflash your kernel?
First off I need to know Did you unlock bootloader / flash a custom kernel / wipe all data / cash/flash v 1
Roms for unlocked boot loader because of the script
(And no themes over this )

Please go to advance edition and change the title of the thread, at least it can help to other with similar issue.
Also please read the forum rules before post next time, specially #3. Thanks
I think this is more our fault as we don't specify the need for unlocked boot loader in our thread
I just wish they would use pm service instead of loads of new threads
And yes naming thread hellllllllppppppppp is just daft

Hello i was thinking about flashing Alliance rom 6.1 and just wanted to ask if it would work for Jelly bean 4.1.2 for SG2 Gt-i9100
and one more question will it erase all the data on my device ? And i dont know how to flash it, i have CWM will it be possible with that and i think i have a stock rom.Sorry i am new to android so please help me out.
Thanks !!
Are you rooted?
If yes, which method was used?
Yes Allaince will work
If you flash it, it's not going to wipe data YOU are. since you ALWAYS have to wipe data/cache before flashing a custom ROM.

You wanna flash aliance ROM over JB or dual boot?
To flash any custom ROM, yeah, you need to wipe data.
But you really need to do some reading before you attempt any ot his.

I just want to install Philz CMW6 on my I9100G so I can install a kitkat custom ROM; I have been facing problems with this, I tried many ROMs ( CM11 unofficial, SuperNexus, SlimRom, OmniROM .. ) but I failed everytime, I realized that my CWM was not suitable. So I started looking for it I found a good thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 after installing the CWM it goes right installing ROMs but got stuck into bootloop.
So, if someone can give me the .tar.md5 file I can flash using Odin or maybe another thing to take care of.
Thank you
PS: I had CM 10.2
Running official stock ROM : JB 4.1.2

Try this steps:
1. Use the method in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365701) to flash JB stock + root. note that it's better to flash the kernel via recovery after it's on your external sd-card or sideload with adb. This way you don't get the triangle warning and no binary count.
2. Download the kitkat compatible CWM from here: (http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/recovery/CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip)
3. Flash the CWM and reboot to recovery (advanced -> reboot recovery)
4. Flash your Kitkat rom (with all the necessary wipes of course )

I tried this but I got stuck on boot again, and knowing that the CWM that you gived don't work :/ ( my model is I9100G I think that this is the reason ).
I have read somewhere that maybe the wipe data / factory reset is the source of problem. I am not sure where I am doing wrong
thanks

Reflash your custom rom, try without a wipe first. You've obviously broken root somehow, as all custom roms come rooted.

After I flashed stock LP I had to flash my KK modem because my phone wasn't booting.
Is that normal?
Or maybe I should have flashed twrp, fully wiped everything then flahed LP
Idk, now I'm still stuck with kk modem :/
