hey guys as the title says,
i m running spirit rom 4.4.4 on my sgs2 i9100 i want to downgrade to jellybean, MIUI.
so what i want is to know how to do that ?
i searched and found out that i must flash philz cwm recovery.
but i dont know which recovery to flash
please provide me the link or the file.
thanks in advance
Its not mandatory to have philz recovery installed.
Boot into current recovery
Do a full wipe (must)
Flash any jb ROM
Reboot
Anyways if you want philz.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270

I would always flash a JB kernel before installing a JB rom. This is because to remove any incompatibilities between the rom and the kernel. Unless the JB rom already comes with a JB kernel, then you should still do this.

flash 'Philz' kernel thro ODIN as it comes with the latest CWM recovery with it
If you mean cwm apk, it's not supported with philz kernel

Thanks.

No, the leaked stock JB 4.1.2 is not deodexed ma8, for the deodexed one u can try 'Neat Rom' which is based on the leaked JB4.1.2
u can flash 'Philz' kernel thro ODIN to root ur phone with leaked JB4.1.2 though
to get root flash this kernal.
>PhilZ-cwm6 - Stock i9100/i9100P SAFE kernel with CWM6
you will not see cwm in the apps, it is part of the 4 boot. press power and then restart, it give you the option to boot into recovery.
which thread did you get the rom from. If it is a custom rom it is mostly deodexed. Stock rom is odexed.
for ROOT You can flash philz kernel via odin-.tar.md5
via stock recovery -signed.zip
Leaked 4.1.2 is Odex .Mod for both odex & deodex in Thread =[MOD][LSJ][v3.9]PURE_INK+MultiWin+Ripple+SS/SR{TITLE Cant Say Any More}
in section DOWNLOAD ODEXED

So i have been thinking about to flash a new rom on my s2. Currently i am running stock jb (xwlsd). And i have philz kernel and the philz stock recovery! So the question is that what roms am i able to flash in philz recovery. It seems that aosp roms arent possible so could someone give me a good rom to test out?

You need to change kernel. Flash Siyah kernel via ODIN (PDA section) then you will have new recovery that will flash rom you want.
I flashed Rootbox asop based from philz recovery just do a full wipe
Then flash .

hello all
i have a gs2 i9100
i rooted it folowing this guide short way (update from recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994544
it installs cwm recovery 4.0.1.5 and supersu.
i tried installing a cm10.1 nightly version for my model,it allways abort with staus 7.
i tried different nightly version,no success.
then i folowed the official cm guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100
i flashed the zimage for cwm recovery via heimdall on linux,it went well then i booted into recovery to check and success.
i didnt want to flash cm at that point (middle of the day) so i rebooted the device and problem:
i could see the samssung boot logo with the yello triangle and then the screen goes black and..nothing.
for now i restored via recovery a backup i made on the older 4.0.1.5 recovery.
i also tried looking for a kernel that matches mine - jhls4 and couldnt find one nor a solution that solved the stsus 7 error.
what could be the problem?
That thread is so old now. More phone details. Firmware you have installed or had installed before you flashed cm? Model of i9100?
Phone model is gt-i9100
Im on stock tw jb 4.1.2
Never installed any other firmware just updated the official with kies.
I rooted it from the stock recovery-installed super user and recovery as update.
The rest is in my first post.
Appriciate your help.

Flash it with philz kernel for root and custom kernel cwm recovery that will let you do anything. Philz is the easy way to root and install cwm to your i9100.
When that's install do the wipes and reboot.
Thanx for your reply
Q: any phils kernel or one that matches mine- jhls2?
2nd Q: can i flash the kenel via recovery ? Or just heimdall?
And if i flash a kernel do i have to flash a rom immedietly or can i still use the stock rom?
Total noob at this.

Flash lss or lsw philz as its just the cwm that's updated in dif versions and yes this will work on your stock 4.1.2 no point in telling you to flash something that won't work on the ROM you have now then if you want to flash custom ROM you can do this from there. Either way is possible with philz . tar for Odin/hem and singed zip for stock recovery:thumbup: reading is the key to flashing well.
Thanx again
I read a lot and got a little confused.
Will do what u suggested.
Hope ill get it right this time.
Cheers.
