Hi I'm getting a Samsung Galaxy S2 this week and I'm looking forward to installing Cyanogenmod using their installer. But I want to know whether the Cyanogenmod installer will install the latest CM11 ROM on the Galaxy S2 or do I have to use ODIN and flash CM11 manually?
I want to do it the most safest way as possible without bricking my phone, I would appreciate your help, Thank you
Also the CM website says latest version of CM installer for S2 is CM10.2? Does that mean I can't get CM11? Thank you.

Cm11 installer will install one of the stable snapshots of cm11 (last time I used it, it installed the m10 snapshot). I'm not sure if they changed it to install the m12 snapshot (latest) but if you really want the most recent snapshot build, you should use cwm. The cm website for the installer hasn't been updated for a while (someone should lodge a ticket or complaint). As long as you follow guides step by step, you should be fine.
Odin is not the official way to flash cm11 as cyanogenmod use zip files which are designed for custom recoveries such as clockwork mod (cwm).
Thank you very much for your reply I wouldn't mind installing through CM installer if it at least gives me the latest stable version. However I might try to manually flash it. Can you give me a link to the best guide available to flash CM on i9100? If its possible

Hey one more question is it possible for me to let the CM installer do everything by itself like rooting, installing custom recovery on the S2 and then later can I install the latest CM rom by myself? If you know what I mean

Yes of course (but only manually via custom recovery).

yep very good
the point which make me conflict is installing CM 10.1.3 on official firmware 4.1.2 ( as table i sent you from CM official site it shows firmware 4.2.2 beside CM 10.1.x) because CyanogenMod not change firmware number i think
could you please clear this for me

u need not worry about those version and firmware details
The statement in those cm sites are about installing the correct gapps package for the correct version of cm
It has nothing to do with incompatibility of latest version for our phones
Be rest assured i run android 4.3.1 in my gs2 gt i9100

1- If you are asking about "how to install a 4.4 custom ROM for your i9100, you need CWM 6.0.4.6 or 6.0.4.7, and the recovery can do the rest for you in terms of flashing and all.
2- If you are looking for a KitKat Compatible recovery, I would rather advise you doing some searching or simply googling "CWM-6.0.4.7-I9100.zip" and downloading it to your SD card in order to flash it.
However, the only way to install the new Kitkat based firmwares for the i9100 imply you to use the latest CWM (or TWRP latest) in order to have support for metadata, and if I didn't answer your question, simply be more specific (your current ROM, OS version, Kernel... etc)

you need at least twrp 2.7.1.1 to flash CM as instructed on their web page for the M7
your phone is a sprint CDMA variant, you can't flash the At&t rom on your phone, only use roms and recovery for the sprint variant (M7WLS)

You know that there is much newer versions of cyanogenmod than 10.1.3? If you don't want to use nightly builds, there are some CM11 snapshot versions that should be stable enough.
for the Gapps, just search for gapss CM10.1 in google and flash the zip from custom recovery
Hi everyone. I was read a lot off discussions about i9100 with CM12.1 but I still don't know how to do it without some problems.
My phone actually running CM13.1 latest nightly build with Team Win TWRP recovery v 2.8.XXX and maybe DorimanX kernel? I don't know how to find Kernel name and version... I would like to ask you how to go to Cm12.1 build with pico or nano GAPPS (And what build I should download). I need the most stable build for daily use. Next how to replace CM recovery with TWRP 3.0.2. . I am totally confused. I'll be glad for any help.
Oh. I have that problem too. CM 13.1 not stable!

Firstly look under settings -> about device and it will tell you the kernel version. If it says 3.0.101-CM------, you have the stock CM13 kernel. You said you have TWRP 2.8.x.x and not CM recovery?? This means you already have the isorec recovery enabled. All you need to do is flash the 3.0.2-1 .img from this recovery and you will have the newer one installed. And just do normal backup/wipes and install CM12.1 as you would any other rom. Just remember to use 5.1 gapps(arm;5.1;pico/nano)
Here is the last official CM12.1 I uploaded
Here is a more up to date unofficial CM12.1

I don't think you can flash a .img file with odin. Honestly if you want to downgrade to 5.1.1 it would be easier to do it in one go.
Flash CM12.1, gapps, then TWRP 3.0.2-1.img all from TWRP 2.8

Ohh I thought that TWRP can't flash img file.
Thanks for advice. I try it today.
So I try that and almost everything works fine. Only GPS fixing seems like a little bit problematic. But I don't know my testing was short. I will see.
May I ask a supplementary question - I am in a similar position, I have an i9100 which I upgraded from stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean to CM13 following (most of) djibe's guide here
So I now have CM13 ROM with kernel version 3.0.101, re-partitioned with Lanchons repit, and with recovery TWRP 3.1.0 installed and functioning.
I want to revert from CM13 to CM12.1. From above, I believe that I can simply backup, wipe, then flash the CM12.1 ROM (I'll be using the last nightly, cm-12.1-20160203-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip) - is that correct?
My question/confusion is, do I also need to flash an isorec-compatible kernel (ie kernel-Lanchon-TRIM-IsoRec-20160111-cm-12.1-i9100.zip)? The isorec thread (here) says that the "Official CyanogenMod 12.1 and 13 kernels are now IsoRec-compatible", so it seems to me unnecessary, but many threads/guides on XDA say to flash one of Lanchon's kernels.
Please could someone advise, and my apologies for what is probably an ignorant question.

You are correct. Isorec support was implemented before that last nightly iirc. No need to flash any kernels.
Note: Only use the official TWRP 3.1 from the TWRP website or the.gangster's one which is basically the same. They are compatible with the earlier android versions.
Hi Noppy,
Thanks very much for taking the time to reply and help - I am using "the gangsters" TWRP 3.1 from djibe's thread, appreciate the heads up. I can confirm that I flashed CM12.1, and it works fine!
