Recovery has nothing to do with kernel. For your own good, please read through the first thread in my signature.
If I may, I would recommend using latest TWRP recovery.

Hi guys.
First sorry for my english.
I need your help solving the problem.
I must say that my knowledge is very basic.
Yesterday I downloaded the latest nightly build from cm site (cm-10.2-20130827-nightly-i9100)
After the download complete i tried to boot into recovery to wipe data/factory reset and cache and start flashing the rom But with no Success.
The device won't boot into recovery.
I read somewhere a post saying you should choose app and adb option under developer options\root access but still no success after changing this option.
One more question please
I downloaded the supersu app from the play store and each time it remind me the need to update the su binary each time i choose continue it faild to update.
find the kernel fixed by codeworkx in the cm thread or flash dorimanx kernel with odin ( there is one in .tar in the download list).

Had the same problem yesterday: Auto-Update seems to be broken, if you apply an update downloaded OTA (even when coming from an older 10.2 Nightly), you can't get into recovery anymore:
Download the newest .tar (9.34) here:
http://dorimanx.shine.sk/
and flash it using ODIN
(insert .tar at PDA)

1. There's an OTA update function which I used. Obviously, you didn't, it seems to be the nightly thats broken.
2. No, just flash it via ODIN
3. 3.XX worked just fine for me (changed to SlimBean yesterday as CM 10.2 seems too buggy for the moment)
4. You can flash just Dorimanx 9.34.tar, CM 10.2 & recovery should be acessible afterwards
Keep in mind that CM 10.2 and most other ROMs replace the kernel you currently have, if you want to flash another Custom ROM, flash 1. Rom.zip, 2. Gapps.zip & 3. Kernel.zip

It's great!!!
Stable, fast, good battery life with shipped kernel, and just 81MB. I don't miss any feature that CM or AOKP have and it doesn't get bricked when installing Head Soccer like XenonHD does :victory:
Give it a try!

hi mate.
i really want to try the slimbean rom but for doing that i need your help (you r my private teacher )
The latest slimbean version appears on the official site is JB 4.22 built 8.
What actions it takes when you downgrade from cm 4.3 to slimbean 4.2.2 etc ?

It isn't different from any other ROM change because SlimBean ships with its own kernel and dorimanx supports both 4.3 and 4.2 ROMs:
In Recovery Mode:
1. Wipe data
2. Wipe cache
3. Flash Rom.zip
(Optional: 4. Flash Dorimanx 9.39.zip)

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)

Pre-requisites
1. Alright, First make sure that your mobile is the I9100 version.
You can find this in settings -> about phone
2. Make a backup in CWM or TWRP ( what version you have)
3. download Samsung USB drivers
Download
https://goo.im/devs/aospa_legacy/i9100/pa_i9100-4.3-BETA2-20140501.zip/ ROM
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15801 GApps package
download the 2 packages and place them in the root of your SD or Internal sd card
Go in to recovery mode
make a backup DONT IGNORE/SKIP THIS STEP IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG YOU CAN BACKUP
do a factory reset , wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
Install the rom first and then the gapps,
then reboot and then wait enjoy
Hey guys,
My SGS2 just got soft-bricked, stuck on samsung logo. I didn't do nothing actually, just restarted my phone.
I have rooted phone with stock OS (latest one) on it a long time ago.
I can enter into recovery mode. Tried to wipe data with no luck.
BUT I want to make a backup. I read that if I install CWM recovery I will be able to mount USB storage to make backups. Is it possible to backup contacts using USB?
I also read that on SGS2 devices CWM will update OS's kernel so I will have to install new OS. Is it true?
Anyway, is it possible to make a full backup in this case?

"A recovery is a kernel and a kernel is a recovery"
If your current OS supports the new kernel then there won't be a need to install a new OS.

How to check if my OS supports new kernel?
What is more important is that if I install CWM breaking my current ROM and make a full backup will I be able to restore this backup on new ROM?
I ask this because I found the following warning:
"Warning: For GT-i9100 and SGH-i777, installing CWM or TWRP recovery also installs kernel. This is only recommended to install when installing a new custom ROM. Installing CWM/TWRP recovery will most likely break the ROM you are running currently as it overwrites the ROM’s kernel."

Simple. Just read the information provided by the threads. If you are on official jelly bean, use Apolo Kernel 4.15b or Siyah Kernel (Although this is outdated now). For Lollipop, you can either use DorimanX kernel 11.0 or CM12.1 kernel with TWRP by Lysergic acid (If you want to use CM12.1). For kitkat, you can use DorimanX kernel 10.45 by Me or 10.44 by Cybernetus, Gustavo kernel (make sure you install KK version) or Apolo Kernel 7.3.

It depends on what ROM you are using. If you install the correct kernel, the ROM will not break at all.

Hi! Is there any way to check the version of ROM I use on this phone? Maybe from recovery mode?
P.S.: I used latest OS which came through official update on SGS2 in Europe. It was something like 4.2.3 or 4.3.3.
If it was the last/latest/final official update, it would have been 4.1.2 Jellybean.....
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Hm... That's strange... I was pretty sure I had 4.3.3 .
OK, let's imagine I install CWM with newer kernel breaking my ROM... what if I install older version after that? Will my ROM be back to work?
It *might* well be ok.....but having never intentionally installed the wrong kernel, I'm not going to stake my life on that as I have ZERO experience of that scenario....

Stock 4.3.3 doesn't exist
Samsung only provided android version 4.1.2 as the last version.
If you install a older kernel after flashing the wrong kernel, your ROM should work again. Once again, the "older" kernel needs to be the correct version for the ROM.
If you do install the wrong kernel, your ROM will not boot and will either give you black screen or bootloop or phone constantly rebooting. So you need to quickly get to the recovery using the button combinations.
Which version of the kernel should I download?? The obivous of course is to download the first, it is just that it says CM and I was wondering if this version of the kernel is only for CM roms. I want to keep the stock rom and jsut flash the bluespark kernel. Should I go for the first one?
Also, where I am supposed to save the kernel file in order to install it? I don't have an SD card.
Thanks in advance.

There is a Q&A section.
CM > CM based roms
OOS > OxygenOS stock rom

It's the second file from the top on your screenshot. You can save it on the internal memory too, but you still need to root the phone and install custom recovery. Somewhere in the general section there's a thread about rooting and flashing.
(just so you know, you "flash" a kernel or a rom, not "install" - don't worry, you'll get there )
Regarding the screenshot:
The first one is the latest version uploaded by the OP (the developer - the one who started that specific thread), it says CM since it's only for CM based roms, not stock ones. All the ones under that one are for stock, hence it says OOS (oxygen os), just the version differs .98, 101, 104, the higher the version number the newer the kernel - the upload date in the middle can help you figure out which one is the latest version if you can't tell by the file name.
