Theres a repacked cwm touch in drv section that also has the fix.

The best is to flash recovery with fastboot to avoid the risk.
And I have aokp and no bootloop....

sir just a question should i use hanzoo all in one kit to flash that kernel? because i dont have that TWRP recovery.
Yes, use the toolkit to flash a kernel.
Always use a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM to make a backup before flashing something - 1 st RULE

Half the issues you guys have, is cause you use toolkits n such to do the simplest of tasks like flash a kernel.

i agree it just over complicates things, just a simple adb\fastboot command and done..
fastboot is a whole lot easier.

Root is already done on custom roms. 4.3 has developers options and root in there. If you dont see dev options tap build about 5 times and it will come up in menu.
Edit: do you mean your on stock rom and no root? If so yes you need to root first. Sorry haven't read posts to well today.
What firmware do you have? Gb/ics/jb?

Flashing RR

Hi guys, i just got a S2 from a relative of mine and i'm quite new to the flashing and stuff for S2. P.S (My previous device was much more easier).
And so i decided to try out RR (Resurrection Remix). I was on 4.1.2 stock, so i tried to root via, both, Siyah and Dorimanx. After rooting them, boot up, i then proceed on to flash RR and GAPPS. But it didn't work. So, how do i exactly go about flashing RR?
Did i do something wrong? Can someone help me a bit?

Me personally prefer Philz kernal which adds a great CWM with the option to delete all data for installing a new rom

Yes m8. Make sure you read the install instructions on the OP of the rom. Cyanogenmod you flash the rom then wipe data where with neatrom you wipe data first. If you have to wipe data after flash dont select the option to wipe all data to install a new rom. Philz kernal is only for samsung stock/based roms so dont put on RR. When you flash RR it will put their kernal on during flash.

Have you rooted you phone? And got CWM(clockworkmod) recovery?
If so just download the rom, place it on you sd card, boot into recovery and follow the steps in my previous post.
If you not rooted or dont have CWM recovery got to the link below and download the zip file which will then both root and give you CWM.

Yes, I had similar experience when I started flashing roms on i9100. Stick with it, it really is worth it and once you get the first one you will realise just how easy it is.

place both the zip file the cwm one as well as the KK rom (beanstalk in your case) on ur phones internal sdcard.
then reboot to philz recovery and first flash the CWM zip and then again reboot back to recovery.
Do all the wipes using the latest CWM recovery as per the install instruction on the Bean stalk thread and flash the rom.

Try installing a slim/micro/mini gapps package. The gapps package you are trying to flash requires more space as there are more apps associated to it. The packages I mentioned has only the essential gapps for your system. You can search for them on xda.
