Good morning, I am so sorry to disturb the lovely and professional XDA community, but I can't solve this problem.
Sorry in advance for my bad english and for my very low competence in android and flashing roms.
I have an i9100 and I am trying to install deodexed I9100XWLSW rom from your thread
"[ROM][JB.4.1.2][18/10][XW-MS1/LSZ/LSW- Added] Deodexed Stock Samsung Roms" to gain battery life.
No matter if I start in recovery from totally stock XWLSW with stock recovery (boot in recovery then use philz-touch_3.00_i9100-signed.zip and install I9100XWLSW .zip rom package) or from any other Rom (CyanogenMod 10.1.3 or BeanStalk or anything else with their specific recoveries) I finish after install in a boot loop of stock 3e recovery. I have tried also with philz_touch_6.12.8-i9100.tar.md5 flashed with odin but no solution to get aut of boot loop and acces deodexed I9100XWLSW rom. Only way to get phone back is then to flash stock with odin o use again philz-touch_3.00_i9100-signed.zip to restore nandroid backups of other roms.
I have searched everywhere in you forum and in google for a solution and only thing I have found is a user in the "[ROM][JB.4.1.2][18/10][XW-MS1/LSZ/LSW- Added] Deodexed Stock Samsung Roms" thread at page 33 that says he has solved using philz recovery but I have tried and it appears to not work for me. What recovery did he exactly use? I can't post to that thread because I am a new user on xda.
Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong? Hope I have explained my situation,
Many regards
Flash the latest philz kernel in stock recovery. Then reboot into recovery and flash deodexed rom.
Thank you but I still can't get it to work

Thank you so much for the answer, but I must be doing something wrong. I downloaded from xda thread "
[PhilZ-cwm6][i9100/P] Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+NTFS-MS3" at link goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100 the philz_touch_6.43.4-i9100.zip and put it on sd. Then with phone still in boot recovery loop I tried from 3e recovery to install philz_touch_6.43.4-i9100.zip and it fails saying ""this papackage is for 'galaxys2,i9100,GT-i9100,GT-i9100M,GT-i9100P,Gt-i9100T,SG-02C' devices; this is a ' ' . E: error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7)".
I then downloaded from web also philz_touch_6.43.4-i9100.zip.md5
If I go in download mode and try with odin 3.09 to flash philz_touch_6.43.4-i9100.zip.md5. It says "md5 error! Binary is invalid". I tested however md5sum of philz_touch_6.43.4-i9100.zip.md5 and it corresponds to the one indicated on website of download.
I then downloaded from the same site philz_touch_6.43.4-i9100.tar.md5 and odin says this time "failed" "complete write operation failed".
Ok. So I flashed back with odin original stock I9100XWLSW_I9100ITVLS2_ITV and tried again the sequence. First attempt philz_touch_6.43.4-i9100.zip failed so I stopped trying.
What is wrong? Should I use "signed" versions? I don't understand however what philz to download with stock rom I9100XWLSW_I9100ITVLS2_ITV
UPDATE
Got perhaps the correct Philz for latest ITA stock rom I9100XWLSW_I9100ITVLS2_ITV : PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.08.5-signed.zip
Installed it through stock recovery. Installed from new recovery after reboot and complete wipe the deoxeded rom I9100XWLSW. Again boot recovery 3e loop. Installed again PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSW-XEU-5.08.5-signed.zip via stock.
Now getting philz recovery loop. I am a bit low in solutions.....
Download latest kernel not recovery.
Flash this http://d-h.st/mEg in stock recovery.
Try this deodexed stock rom https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bx7rnV0ak_XLWjBHS3UzaU8wWmc/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you.... but PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS3-FOP-5.15.9-signed.zip is for stock ita rom I9100XWLSW_I9100ITVLS2_ITV?
And the same question is for I9100XWMS1_I9100XXMS4_I9100NEELS1_HOME_Deodexed_Sofos.zip?
These are the two files you suggested to download
P.S. To forum ADMINS.... As a new user I can't post links, but when I answer to somebody nice and helpful like "Zile995" that has posted some links, I have to get rid of url references etc from the
otherwise I can't reply.... I think that is something near to a bug.

Ok. Got it. Installed PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS3-FOP-5.15.9-signed.zip etc and did what you said. Tried xwlsw but went in usual stock recovery boot loop. Then I tried XWMS1 and it went ok. Finally phone boots ok. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :good::good::good::laugh::highfive:
Very last question: What Philz recovery can I use for XWMS1??
You can flash latest philz xwms3 kernel if you want to change ROM.
Also you can flash latest philz recovery. I don't know... Why recovery?

Hi,
Currently using latest firmware KI3 with root.
I'm able to use CWM, backup, install zips, everything.
However, if i install a ROM trough a ZIP, i get a boot loop.
Only way to get back the phone, it's to install via ODIN with latest KI3.
Even tried with Litening Rom, and got the boot loop.
Any ideas ?
I was very keen to return to CM7.
Tx in advance.
Did you exactly what's mentioned here?
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.

Did you try flashing a old stock ROM like KH3, root it then try from this base?
I went from Villain ROM 2.3.5 to CyanogenMOD without any problems.
It's essential that you flash CyanogenMOD !TWICE! in a row when you're coming from a stock ROM.
Thanks.
Gonna check, as soon as i'm @ 127.0.0.1
Same behaviour, back to boot loop.
Tanx anyway!
I had a similar problem so here goes my help.
Cf root kernel uses a modified version of CWM that isn't compatible with CM7 or something like that. So what I did was flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693. Get the kernel with CWM 5.x.y.z With that I got a compatible version of CWM and from there I flashed CM7. It is important that you do a full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format \system, everything so you don't get any trouble. THen you flash the CM7 zip file, when tha t is done, flash the zip again for a second time (don't reboot just do it after the first flash). After that reboot. That worked for me at least.
A tip: If you can't reboot your phone and you have no ROM zip file to flash via CWM you can mount usb storage from CWM for putting the ROM in sd card and flash with CWM. That way you don't have to use ODIN to recover.
Tanx Tomas.
Tried with CWM 5.x.y.z and upon "WIPE" always got an error for mounting partitions.
Could't mount CACHE, SDCARD .....
Tx anyway.
Back to ODIN, back to stock 2.3.5
PS : I have to get a JIG to reset ...

what he is trying to say is that you should flash the kernel AFTER you flash your ROM
the ROM you chose is [CM10][Jellybro] i9100 Nightly Kangs, yes?
anyway..
here is what you should do
1. flash your rom
2. flash gapps for cm10
3. flash a kernel [an example of which is Dorimanx Kernel]
if you are still confused on some terms, please refer here
I hope this helps
EDIT:
you should root your phone first
You know, after flashing a new rom booting may take some more time, at least a few minutes. Have you been waiting enough time?
First, check md5sum of ROM [what Saywhatt wrote a few posts back]
a. If you are no longer in recovery modes then you can get a kernel [tar file] Flashing with Odin.
If your phone then starts normally, then flash the ROM you want through CWM.
*** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
b. If you can get into recovery mode, not flash with Odin, but do these same steps;
**** wipe data / wipe cache / wipe Dalvik cache / format system in mounts and storage / flash ROM from sdcard***
PS. If it fails in step a first flash stock ROM with Odin
sorry for my bad english

Evening all,
Please help. I followed the instructions perfectly in the official thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569686 -
But now my poor S2 won't get past the recovery screen. It passes the "Samsung I9100" screen ok but then diverts into a recovery mode called "Philz" I'll be honest, i don't even know how this got on there as I used CWM to flash it in the 1st place?
I've even tried repeating the install process again in this philz recovery but it still just repeats the same cycle.
Any advice would be greatly thanked!

In Philz kick ass recovery go to mounts and storage and format system and cache and data and preload then in advance setting wipe dalv cache then flash neatrom then reboot. Philz is stock kernel for neatrom. If that don't work redown load rom and check md5 and if it's good md5 flash the rom zip.

Redownloaded, verified the md5 file but it's still doing the same. Really annoyed as I've flashed loads of files before on odin and CWM but cannot get this rom to work.

Hi guys,
I successfully followed the advice on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/to-mod-s2-t3189884) and I have installed CM12.1 's nightly from 29/8.
I boot in once, no problem. But on the second boot the phone bricks. The only way I can get into the system again is to load Philz kernel again and reinstall. But after the second boot the phone bricks again.
Any ideas? It may be the nightly, but even updating to the latest (31/8) didn't fix this.
I can get the CM10.1 stable to work fine, but that drain my battery faster than I can charge it.
I'd like to use 12.1, though: am I just doing something wrong that causes the bricking?
thanks,

Excellent, thank you!
A few tips to anyone looking this up:
First, I used Heimdall - but apparently Odin is quite similar.
I had to unpack the stock rom and then individually flash the factoryfs and zimage files.
I then unpacked the Phils mod and flashed the zimage again.
That was all in download mode
After that I flashed CM12 in recovery mode.
Hi,
I'm using a galaxy s2 gt-i9100 as a spare phone and i thought it would be a good idea to upgrade from CM13.1 to lineage os 14...
Unfortunately that didn"t go well, the phone is not bricked BUT :
1)i can only flash recovery using odin, heimdall says flash ok but recovery never changes, same as when i tried to install the TWRP recovery from a zip file in the CWM 6.0.2.9 recovery
2) flashing from that CWM version a lineage os zip file always resulted in the progress bar to be stuck at the very begining of the process so i updated the phone with a 3GB PIT file to fix the issue.
3) now the same CWM doesn"t want to mount the SD card while it's working perfectly from within the phone or with the phone(using latest stock firmware) on my PC
4) i can"t use that CWM as recovery because i can't use adb sideload or install zip from a file anymore(i guess due to the 3GB PIT file)
So is it possible to have a TWRP recovery flashable with odin for the GT-I9100 ?
Will that TWRP recovery finally allow me to flash the lineage os zip file?
thanks,

First--you can't mount sdcard after repit if you didn't format it
Second--repit using 3GB PIT is useless procedure, because you only changed the data partition size, instead repit with a 1GB_3GB.pit to change system partition to 1GB.
Third--to get TWRP 3 you must be on a rom with a kernel that supports isorec recovery, so you should flash a CWM kitkat compatible recovery through Odin and reboot to recovery and flash latest CM11 to get isorec support then reboot to recovery flash TWRP 3.0.2.1 image and then reboot recovery and flash your desired nogut rom and gapps.
If you couldn't understand me, then simply follow this guide
Hello,
thanks for your reply, it was exactly what i was looking for, i wish my Google searches about that matter redirected me to that tutorial.
IT worked brilliantly exept an error regarding formating and mounting of data partition after the use of the PIT file but upon restart, the procedure : 'Go to Wipe -> Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, System, Data, Internal Storage then Swipe to Wipe, go back to TWRP Home.' completed without any errors.
That old phone is now running nougat.

Hi,
I wanted to upgrade my i9100 so i used odin 3.04 to flash the kitkat compatible .tar file you mentioned through download mode. The flashing in odin showed no errors but my phone is dead now and doesnt turn on!
Now i can only get into download mode using the key combinations.
What did i do wrong coming from CM9.1 with cwm 6.0.1.2 on it. And how to fix this?

Your phone won't boot of course, because the kernel recovery you flashed is a kitkat kernel recovery, just reflash it again with a pit with 1GB system or more and your desired data partition size, all pits are available in repartition guide by saber, after you enter into recovery, you should navigate to mount then "format sdcard" or "format internal sdcard", i don't actually remember the option, then format it and format data and system and cache and dalvik cache, then install the latest cm11 rom to get isorec support, then let it reboot, then reboot to recovery and flash TWRP 3.0.2-1 image from the TWRP 3 thread's download section, then reboot recovery and flash your desired nogut rom and gapps
Just a sec i will give you some links..
Much appreciated. I am really stuck right now.
Can i conclude that when i flash CWM 6.0.1.2 my CM9.1 will be alive and kicking?
I think i want that right now, i postpone the upgrade to the future. Not really comfy right now....

you have to flash a kernel not just a recovery, try dirty flashing your cm9.1 again that should make it boot correctly, and will replace the current recovery with the recovery that comes with the rom
I found my cm9.1. How does dirty flashing works? Can it be done with odin?
Does this erase all my data on my device?
edit:
Do i choose pda or phone when entering cm9.1 in odin. And where to select wipe cache and dalvik cache?
CM11
1.5GB PIT Files or 1GB PIT Files by ELgmal 1GB is enough.
Kitkat compatible recovery
this is for future update

no just flash it in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, if you had xposed then flash xposed after the rom and wipe dalvik and cache and reboot.
ps: next time you post, please quote my post or mention me in your post so i can reply faster to your post
no it won't delete any data

DON'T USE ODIN, the rom is zip flash it through recovery
The problem is i can't access the data partition in windows explorer so i can not place the cm 9.1 zip file on my device. I can enter the recovery mode though

have you tried with an external sdcard?
you can use an adapter to connect your external sdcard to your pc and copy your rom to
That worked fine. My device is up and running.
Many thanks for your help!

First--you can't mount sdcard after repit if you didn't format it
Second--repit using 3GB PIT is useless procedure, because you only changed the data partition size, instead repit with a 1GB_3GB.pit to change system partition to 1GB.
Third--to get TWRP 3 you must be on a rom with a kernel that supports isorec recovery, so you should flash a CWM kitkat compatible recovery through Odin and reboot to recovery and flash latest CM11 to get isorec support then reboot to recovery flash TWRP 3.0.2.1 image and then reboot recovery and flash your desired nogut rom and gapps.
If you couldn't understand me, then simply follow this guide
