Hi, Is there any mode the device can boot into? Download mode? If the recovery flash went wrong you can still go into download mode. Do this by pressing (Vol Down + Home + Power ) all at the same time.
More information about the device would be great as well, ROM etc. :good::highfive:

Yes, just flash it via your recovery, then reboot back into recovery(not system). Then do your backups, wipes etc and follow the steps from OP
are you sure it's working? and is not a fake that mirror?
Would CWM Base Version 6.0.3.3 Work
Hi All,
I m having PhilZ Touch 5 Build Version 5.08.5 - i9100 CWM Base Version 6.0.3.3. with Stock ROM. Would this suffice to upgrade to Kitkat or Do I need to upgrade the CWM ?
Just a Noob, taking one step a time.
Thanks in advance

Dear Friends,
I did updated my CWM with CWM_6.0.4.7_I9100.zip. It installed properly. I restarted the phone and its now showing the SGS2 Logo and then black screen.
I can get into recovery. Need help to revive it again. Though I m searching for the threads and posts in the forum. but any direct reference would be handful. My handset details and history of rooting and CWM update are as below :
Rooted with PhilZ Touch 5 Build Version 5.08.5 - i9100 CWM Base Version 6.0.3.3. with Stock ROM. updated CWM, with CWM_6.0.4.7_I9100.zip, by installing Zip option using recovery .

The CWM 6.0.4.7 is only useful to you to directly upgrade to a kitkat rom. When you flashed the recovery it replaced your kernel. Only use the newer recovery if you want to flash a new rom. Otherwise it is of no use to you.
So you can either use CWM 6.0.4.7 to flash kitkat or just flash the philz kernel you used before. You might need to wipe cache and dalvik cache before you reboot(this won't wipe any data).

Thanks again Noppy22. That really helped me understand the cause and I've revived it back to original.
This time took backup of everything, which I didn't even after reading in each and every OP to take backup first and then move on. Well then thats the way to learn
Thanks

Hey,
I've successfully rooted my SII and installed ROM Manager, but as I try to flash CWM Recovery and select GT-I9100 the install doesn't commence and I'm left with a message saying 'An error occurred while downloading your recovery'. Any solutions to fix this or flash CWM in a different way so I can install CM9?
Thanks for any help

Once you've flashed the CWM recovery, then download the zip version of Siyah kernel and just flash in CWM recovery.

Did you even bother reading the topic you replied to?
Rom Manager from market is not properley compatible with our devices, no matter what the manager says or if you see SGS2 in the list. Uninstall it and only use the "CWM" app that is installed by kernel or reboot into recovery.

It doesnt matter, you have no reason to have latest, they are just updates to support more devices.
Just flash custom kernel, like latest Siyah, the kernels contain CWM.

I assume you are talking about PhilZ recovery........
If all you want is a custom recovery on a stock firmware then you have to match the recovery to the firmware build......
And you *do* realise that the leak/test firmware is not as stable as release firmwares don't you?

All right guys im just going to keep this real nice and simple. Purpose of thread:
Latest CWM Recovery
Kit Kat 4.4 ROM Installation Compatible
Centralized Place to Put The Latest Recoveries
Just a heads up. This is NOT meant to be used as a kernel. I compiled these recoveries from source and only the recovery module is built therefore YOUR PHONE WILL NOT BOOT COMPLETELY AS THERE IS NO KERNEL. I made these recoveries so that users can flash
From ICS/JB to KK with ease
Flash This Over DorimanX Kernel So That You Can Update Your Kit Kat ROM
And Resolve Status 7 Errors When Flashing Kit Kat ROMs On A Out-Dated CWM Recovery
How To Use:
To Flash a Kit Kat ROM From a Out-Dated Recovery CWM Version Less Then 6.0.4.4:
Flash This CWM Recovery File (Does Not Matter Which Version You Pick Just Take The Latest) And Reboot Back Into Recovery Via The Option In The Advanced Menu
You Should Now Have A Grey Coloured Recovery With Version 6.0.4.X

No you cannot but the fastest way to get from stock 4.1.2 to Kitkat 4.4 is to
1. Download this into external SDcard
2. Download my recovery and what ever ROM+Files you need into internal/external
3. Flash first file in stock recovery
4. Flash my recovery, reboot back into recovery
5. Wipe data+cache (factory reset)
6. Flash the ROM+Files
7. Reboot
:good:
@Grift, must say have been following your work/posts for sometime now and find/enjoy the way you can explain a lot of ( detail ) clearly without using many too English words. haha.
Thank you very much for this post & code CWM kk compatible.
foot note/tip. upgrade/flash Direct from ICS404 to KKat is possible But the user Must Format /system /data /cache within CWM Kkat as normal factory reset doesn't work for such a big version jump.(my thoughts/theory only).
Usual warning Nandroid backup First as all Rom data Lost doing it this way.
Copy of request below if possible. @Grift. If possible can you release a Temporary version of your (CWM kitkat with out kernel).
Similar to what Philz was releasing for GT i9100.
Reason for request. Is at moment Dorimanx kernel has older cwm. So when I flash permanent CWM kk compatible then re-flash Dori it can break 2nd ROM boot access/entry.
Therefore if possible a Temp version of what you are doing/releasing would be Perfect for my & others dualboot kitkat problems.
Thanks in advance bmad.

I believe you do need the sources. From what I see you work on the Desire HD (Ace) ? Either you download the sources and compile from there or you can try Koush's CWM builder ( just search CWM builder on google ). As for source code Cm10.2 source can be upwards of 10GB easily. For the DHD im not sure if you guys have official CM11 source?

We've got unofficial builds of cm11, and most devs have release pretty stable device and kernel trees. Thanks, 10GB isn't bad at all, but will it require me to setup my Build Environment differently?

Firstly, I would like to apologize if this question has been answered before, I simply cannot find the answer for it. So I am currently rooted on 5.1.1 with, (according to the About Device section of my phone)
Kernel version:
3.10.61-S6_Unikernel_v9-0000initial
[email protected] #1
Thu Sep 10 19:10:19 BST 2015
Build Number: XtreStoLite Deo Mod v.2.4 - XXU3COI9
According to my model number, it says my model number is SM-G925K, but my original build number was SM-G925W8.
Also, I am using TWRP recovery
So like I have started in the title, I would like to update to 6.0.1 stock, and then root it and install a custom rom. I have bought my phone from Rogers, and am on a 2 year contract with them.
I am COMPLETE noob when it comes to this, so anything to help is appreciated, I recently switched from iPhone to Android
EDIT #1: I am only asking this question because my carrier has not rolled out the firmware yet, and I am not on stock firmware anymore so I was wondering if it was possible to update, I don't want to end up with a bricked device

Okay so instead of updating via smartswitch, I downloaded the firmware via a website (not sure if I am able to mention it here, but I won't anyway) for my model (SM-G925W8) and flashed it via Odin. Then I rooted via CF-AutoRoot by Chainfire, and am currently installing Xtrestolite 3.3.1

What are custom kernels? Do I need one? What is SELinux and should it be Permissive or Enforcing?

SELinux is a set of kernel modifications and user-space tools
u dont need custom kernel as my opinion
custom kernels with comes Permissive
and official kernels comes with enforcing

I don't know if this is significant, but the reason I asked about SELinux is because when I open TWRP manager and it tells me my TWRP version, it says Please set SELinux to Permissive in order to view this
