Hi yeasterday i did a full wipe on my sgs 2 i9100 and installed newest omnirom version, today i tried to install supersu and i wasn't able to, so remembered that i have somehow managed to install supersu few months ago when i had installed omnirom, i wasn't sure how i have did that so i tried to install Siyah-s2-v6.0b4 with odin, and my phone was only showing sgs2 logo with yellow triangle, so then tried jeboo_kernel_i9100_v1-2a, and i got the same logo, so please can someone help me ?
@Walkman23 so far as I hear you are flashing the wrong kernel for omni. Just reboot into recovery and reflash omnirom if you still want to keep it.
Yellow triangle is a marker that you had flashed with odin(flashcounter) nothing to worry about, you can remove it but I suggest to only do that when you sell your phone. The triangle is nice to me .
Also the kernels you were trying to flash are for stock only I believe. Find an kernel for omnirom.

how do i put omnirom into my phone ? cause i have deleted them
@Walkman23 sorry for late response I was away but you can adb push the rom to your phone. But you need to be in recovery mode and have the drivers for your phone installed and you need adb.
So install drivers and adb.
Adb push romname.zip /sdcard/
Or you need to have an micro sd card an put the rom on the sd and insert it in your phone and flash the rom.
I also saw your PM.
For an simple adb utility without the need to download the whole sdk install this

@wulsic i tried pushing it yesterday it worked cause i had twrp now its cwm 6.0.2.7 and when i push it to sdcard i cant find it
@Walkman23 I think that the /storage/ location is different on the galaxy s2. Thats why you couldnt find it.
Can you check the path in the recovery where your virtual internal sdcard is?
@wulsic thank u fixed it
@Walkman23 Nice that you fixed it so remember now also flash a kernel specific for which rom you are using, so for cyanogenmod/stock/aosp based roms. Also that kernel and recovery are combined on the s2. And also that you now know the storage path where to adb push when you can still acces recovery

This problem started when I was trying to root my phone with Rachmat3's method when it couldn't mount sd card... Although I tried I tried with many ways nothing happened... always the same message: failed mount /sdcard..
I managed to root it somehow and I flashed Resurrection remix 1.0.. So far so good.. I downloaded rom manager(don't know why exactly, just read that it was helpfull) and noticed that i had no clockworkmod so i flashed it by rom manager.. I guess this means that now I have it installed in my phone.. which means that if I reboot my phone into recovery mode it will launch cmd or if not through recovery mode i'll find it into sdcard and install it from there... Right??? Correct me if I'm wrong please... So although I see in Rom manager that I have clockworkmod it doesn't launch in recovery mode... even if I try reboot into recovery through Rom manager when it goes into recovery, stops after a while with this message can't found cache/update.zip.. So I think maybe the problem is that this file misses(I don't know why of course.. i sure not delete it myself on purpose) is there any way to download it manually and put it into cache throw root browser??? Dont know... just saying! Or I don't know... am I missing something????
If you want CWM recovery, you need to flash a kernel which includes it such as CF-root or any of the custom ones.

I used CF-root already... it's the only method I managed to root it cause i'm on ICS... I downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip from this page.
I managed to get clockworkmod touch after all so guess my problem solved!!!
But still have no idea why showed that message...
Hi,
I have a SGS2, I was trying to get rooted but it didn't seem to work. I flashed the rooted kernel and during the process it said that /sdcard couldn't be mounted. I rebooted and some root functionality seemed to be possible. Rom Manager would start and clockwork manager was generating lots of SU prompts. When I restarted the phone again though, all this was gone and I was getting "SU binary not found".
I tried flashing the kernel again but no change. Seemed that something had messed up in the rooting procedure and after a bunch of googling I couldn't figure out what.
So I booked into CWM and after reading instructions here for doing a full wipe, I did a factory reset, system wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe.
I'm now a bit stuck and feel a bit stupid for not thinking ahead. What do I need to flash (in Odin I guess?) to get my phone running again.
Eventually I want to run the CM9 nightlies via RomManager, but how I get from my current wiped state to being rooted on any rom and then able to run rommanger I don't know.
At the moment my phone just boots to the SGS logo + yellow triangle.
Any help really appreciated. Thanks
Hi, can you identify your phone to be an i9100 or i9100G?
If your phone can boot into recovery, get the correct version here for i9100 or i9100G. Use adb to push the flashable zip into your sdcard, then install it from there.
If cannot enter recovery, try boot into download mode, flash CF-Root with ODIN, you should be able to get into recovery after that. Follow the instruction above to get CM9.

Thanks for helping me - much appreciated
I'm pretty sure my phone is a i9100.
I could get into recovery mode, (CWM v5.0.2.7) but when the phone was plugged into my computer via usb, I got the message that the device had malfunctioned so I flashed CF-Root (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5) again. I've still got the same issue.
I've never used adb to transfer files, but I tried something called Quick ADB Pusher - but it doesn't recognise my device (presumably because the reported malfunction means I'm not connected). Assuming this is my own oversight, is there a good idiot-proof guide to using ADB to get the CM9 onto the phone for installation via CWM.
Thanks
Since you're not confident with adb, I would suggest flash Siyah kernel 4.1.5 tar version with ODIN. It is the latest supported version for ICS. The CWM recovery that comes with it support USB storage mount, with this you can simply boot into recovery, mount USB storage, and then transfer the cm9 flashable zip file with your computer.

Thank-you so much - this worked perfectly for me
Just in case anyone is reading this and knows even less than me - this is exactly what I did:
1. Downloaded Siyah kernel
2. Flashed using Odin (reboot in download mode, select the siyah tar file in the "pda" box of Odin and press start.
3. Reboot phone into recovery mode, did factory data wipe as instructed on siyah install page.
4. In recovery mode selected mount/storage options, then mount usb storage - then plugged phone into laptop.
5. After driver installed, the phone appeared in "my computer"
6. I deleted everything and dragged CM-10 rom zip file and google apps zip file (available from CM10 thread) onto phone.
7. Exited usb mode on phone and then used the install from zip on internal SD card to install first CM10 rom, then gapps.
8. Rebooted.
All done Thanks again.

How did you get into this situation? DId you try flashing something that caused it? What preceded this issue?

I had this problem once to. On my HTC Flyer, nothing I could do to recognize the phone. I had to ditch the HTC Driver and tried every copy of the android drive I could find on XDA. I will see if I can find the file that worked for me. But in the interim you may want to try a few.
BTW I am not an expert. This worked for me and it sounds like the same situation to me. :fingers-crossed:
Here's a question: where'd you get the recovery? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, i don't see your device as supported. Also, i believe they're called universal naked drivers, that may be of help.

yeah im trying that driver thing out right now thx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20058157&postcount=1 if you havent found them.
and in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129298, the cwm versions are removed.."CWM 6.0.2.7 is not save to use, you may damage your phone. "
so hopefully you tried these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
I am not a developer or anything & havent read many forums...but while playing with myTouch I did get stuck a few times.
Somethings I cant point out if u wanna try as a layman:
1. can u mount your sd card through recovery?
2. if you can than just pick another rom for your device and put it onto your sd card
3. wipe data & partition, wipe cache, delete davlik. some devices work ONLY with wipe script (for my friend only the wipe script worked)
4. dont use odin. go to cwm recovery & install zip from sd card & choose the rom (the 1 from step 2).
I think that should get u out safely....hope it helps
@bodh
i actually installed a cwm 5 version
maybe thats the cause of the whole problem
@indiankarmas
i did install multiple roms from the sd card, first cm9 then stock rom
but it doesnt really work
how i fixed the problem:
when i flashed cm9 and used the bootloader with odin to pass the recovery mode my phone booted the stock os
installing from the external sd didnt work, i just wiped my phone for nothing
it booted the stock os, i didnt want this but this made my pc recognize my phone
so i transferred the rom and gapps in the internal sd
got back to recovery mode and installed from internal sd
and used the bootloader again to pass the recovery mode
again, i appreciate you guys trying to help me out
I've tried multiple tutorials to root my phone but whenever I flash the CWM and restart my phone in recovery mode I still get the default Android recovery screen... What should I do?
CWM flashed on its own (I.E not 'baked' into a kernel) always only persists until the next reboot.
It's designed to allow you to flash whatever rom/kernel you want which will overwrite the temporary CWM version you flashed with the one baked into the kernel of the rom you flash/kernel you flash on its own.
If you want permanent CWM from the getgo, flash a kernel with CWM baked into it. Or use another root method. I'm not sure about either of those things (nor will most people on here be), because very few people here have this model.
I found this thread by searching; if you're having problems with a specific root method, I suggest you ask in those threads so you get 'accurate' help from people who actually have the same phone as you.

Hi all
How exciting it is to see that so many people are so involved in improving or fixing their mobile devices.
I got some sort of a virus on my Samsung Galaxy S3 so decided to try to wipe it clean and load a more up-to-date version of Android on it. It had 4.3.?. On a Windows 7 PC, I downloaded the Skipsoft Unified Android Toolkit (version 1.4.5). I think now I didn't need to but probably succeeded in rooting my S3 with Kingo ROOT.
Next, using the toolkit and Odin, I think I succeeded in flashing the recovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-i9300.tar custom recovery.
My phone would only boot up with the stock Android.
I took me a while before I learnt about entering the recovery mode by holding the volume up, home and power-on buttons simulateously.
In the recovery mode, I used Wipe, Advanced, ticked all of the boxes and wiped everything on the phone.
Then, using the toolkit and Odin again, I flashed the same recovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-i9300.tar custom recovery I'd flashed before.
I still can't boot my phone. If I choose Reboot from twrp (v2.7.1.0) and then either System or Recovery, I just get, "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
I can still enter either download or recovery modes but the latter is something of a hit and miss affair.
Using File Manager in the twrp I can see lots of files and directories so guess I managed to flash something.
Also, using Terminal Command I see that my prompt is a "#"so think I'm still rooted.
I know something about Unix and programming mainframe computers but am not an expert with mobile devices. I'd be so grateful if someone could please advise me as to what to do?

You wiped system partition ;-;
If you want stock rom you need to flash the stock rom by odin.
I recommend you to install a custom rom like Temasek or CM13, it's real easy just flash the zip.
Haha yes^ this guy is right
You might have to flash stock rom if you somehow wiped efs, most of the time custom roms doesn't include efs with them

Thanks for your response, Turga and snkmv, below. I didn't know what efs was so looked it up on the net and found this worrying but expert explanation from ryanrazer and Rukbat in androidcentral ( http://forums.androidcentral.com/as...erstanding-cwm-backups-efs-partition-etc.html )
In twrp's recovery mode on my phone and using File Manager, I see that the directory /efs is empty (all files are shown in File Manager, right, including invisible files?)
I'd prefer to try to flash a custom ROM which includes efs rather than the stock ROM. Do Temasek or CM13 include efs or does another, reliable custom ROM?
Thanks again folks
Mike
