Tried using spirit rom 4..4.4 but gave error 7 in recovery mode.
I am on android 4..12 PhilZ-cwm-6-XWLSZ-OJC-5.15.-9
Tried looking his thread but can't seem to find an update?
CWM Base version 6.0.3.7
Build version 5.15.9 i9100
compiled 30 sept 2013
How do I update to android latest, 4.4.4 and preferably also phil version I used??
I can't seem to update! Please assist.

you need a kitkat compatible kernel.. browse spirit roms thread for compatible kernels
afaik philz is based on stock so it isnt compatible with kitkat roms (maybe wrong)

[Q] I9100P UK with kernel 3.0.31 -1246097

Hello,
I'm new to the android rooting scene, but I have a Galaxy S2 I9100P phone that I'd like to install a non-stock kernel in order to safely install CyanogenMod, as on the CyanogenMod wiki page for the S2, it states that it should not be installed on the stock kernel.
However, I cannot find a kernel that I think will be compatible with my phone. It is running 4.1.2 and the Kernel Version shows as 3.0.31-1246097.
Thanks in advance.
Which build version mate?
Look it up and then see Philz thread. You can find kernels for I9100P too. They can be flashed in stock recovery or via Odin.

Kernel for 5.1 lollipop

Does anyone here know if there is a i777 compatible kernel for the galaxy s2 i9100 5.1 lollipop roms . I have tried using Shift- Eternal- lollipop kernel. It was compatible with the i9100 5.0 lollipop CM Resurrection_remix ROM, but I have not been able to get it to work with the 5.1 release.. I have tried replacing the boot image file from cyanide L 5.1. It boots but there is no wifi or Mobile data.

No, sorry. @rogersb11's kernel is pretty much the only game in town now. It's possible (purely speculative) that you've run into problems because he builds his own kernel instead of CM's, and RR is basically CM with added features so you would need a pure CM kernel to port.
Again, that's a guess, as that's how it used to work. He's posted an update to his rom; did you try pulling the kernel from that update?
Steve, thanks for taking the time to reply. I was afraid that was the case. Rogerb11 first 5.1 release was without his lollipop kernel. he stated that he was having problems with his kernel with wifi. I tried porting that kernel and I believe that it just boot looped. His second release with his kernel booted, but then I experienced problems with wifi and mobile. Hopefully he will release a 5.1 standalone kernel that can be ported over to the i9100 ROMs.
The truth is I have not been able to find a stable lollipop rom yet for my phone. The closest was resolution remix 5.02. and I was wanting to try the 5.1 version. Will keep checking the forum. Thanks again

[request] cm 12.1/13

Hello everyone, I don't know if this is the right subforum to submit this topic so sorry btw
Is it possible that somebody please build a CM for this device (VF-895N)?
My device runs 5.0.2 stock Lollipop, 5.0 screen, rooted, has TWRP recovery 3.0.0.0, SDK21, Linux Kernel 3.10, unlocked bootloader...
The sources of the device were already published by Alcatel and there are already two ROMs for it out there. One is MIUI 7.6(5.1.1 Lollipop) Beta (ported from Moto G 2015 I think) and a full stock ROM without Vodafone apps, rooted and with a few customizations...
Please somebody make CM for this device! I would really appreciate it even if it's an alpha version I don't care! Just do it plz

why no one want to help?

hi, i am newb
i have a galaxy s2 plus i9105p based on android 4.1.2. i tried OTA updates but could find.
now i wanted to root it and install CM 12.1 on it.
i rooted it with firmware 4.1.2 via KINGROOT and install CWM non touch recovery on it.
now problem is in order to install CM 12.1 you must have stock 4.2.2 firmware.
please tell me how i update it to 4.2.2 now or any other method that i can install CM 12.1 on it
