Hi all, my second ish post on xda (yes im a moderate android noob), i am after some advice and help on flashing CM11 to my S2 (Intl), as it feels really outdated (because it is) and also quite slow (because it is). Ive read about the brickbug and i ran Chainfire's GotBrickbug tool and it said "unknown chip, not sure if dangerous, at least it isnt known to be bad. The chip is V3U00M and the revision is 0xE. I also ran another checker and it said sane chip. Im running the stock 4.0.4 (rooted with Framaroot and removed carrier rubbish) and apparently 4.0.4 is prone to bricking. Ive read about flashing new kernels (Siyah etc) and other methods. I know there is the 4.1.2 update, does that remove the chances of brickbug so i can then flash CM11 via CWM? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Official 4.1.2 firmware is safe, only 4.0.4 has brickbug.
So do i just upgrade to 4.1.2 then use odin to flash CWM 6.0.4.5 and then follow normal procedure? Thanks for replying btw

Download XWMS3 4.1.2 from sammobile site(you have to log in). Then use Odin to flash it. Download PhilZ xwms3 kernel and put kernel zip on sdcard. Reboot in stock Samsung recovery and flash that kernel zip file. Then reboot again in recovery and flash philz 6.0.5.0 touch recovery.
Or... You can root 4.1.2 with siyah kernel, but you need to flash kitkat compatible recovery

Yes, you can use OTA to update your android. Then you need to root your phone and install CWM compatible recovery to flash CM11

Thanks heaps man, ill probably use Framaroot as it is easy and it works atm, hopefully ill be a happy user of CM11 haha
I just thought I'd say I've got the S2 on OmniRom 5.1 now after using a rather unstable and buggy CM11 nightly. Thanks for your help BTW

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.

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?

Sorry for the stupidity! I got JB on my last Galaxy before it broke I'm just confused because I did it a different was last time. Thanks for the help!
just flash a custom kernel with ODIN. That'll give you CWM recovery. then you can flash whatever you want.

Ok, is Odin 1.85 sufficient (or is there a newer one) and then can I just flash it with Siyah 4.1.4?
IDK much about Odin. But if it worked for ya the first time it should be good.
for the kernel, you must find one in a format Odin uses and not in the normal .zip which requires CWM recovery to flash.
Right now .tar is the only one that comes to mind for Odin.

I would flash a kernel that is compatible with whatever ROM you have currently. Then flash a JB ROM from CWM . Flash Siyah after you have JB if that is the kernel you want. I think you would get boot looped if kernel and ROM are mismatched.

Okay cool. I know this might be asking a lot but can you just link to me a Kernel that will work with the ROM I have? It's still the AT&T Stock Rom 2.3.4 with Baseband I777UCKH7 and Kernel 2.6.35.7.

Take a look at the guide which is the top link in my signature. It will give you a little more detail on what you want to do, and has links to the available Gingerbread kernels.

the only point in flashing a kernel compatible with a ROM, would be if you wanted to boot into the ROM.
Yes, flashing a kernel meant for a different version will most likely bootloop.
You can flash any kernel you want if you have no intentions on booting the system.
Recovery inside the kernel has nothing to do with what ROM your running. Will always be able to boot into recovery. Or **** broke
I give you lots of credit for reading not to use rom manager!

If you use Mobile Odin you can flash a custom kernel that will install CWM and then flash a custom ROM with CWM. I do this so I do not mess with the flash counter.

It sounds like you're taking the same route I did to root my phone. I first flashed a rooted, stock ICS ROM, then I flashed the Siyah kernel using Mobile Odin, then I eventually went on to flash a JB ROM (SuperNexus) using Mobile Odin. I'm sure I could have skipped that step of flashing Siyah because SuperNexus flashes a CM kernel anyway, but I kinda didn't know what I was doing.

Hi I hope someone on here can help me...
I recently flashed my girlfriends sgs2 (via odin pc) with the new XXLSJ jelly bean leak. Because its not 'officially' released we have to use Philz kernel, is that correct? I basically want completely stock and the update WITHOUT ROOT AND YELLOW TRIANGLE...
Is this possible?
I myself have the same phone and have custom rom based on this leak and Philz kernel, but for some reason have no triangle? ?
So, I want...
- Jelly Bean Stock rom
- No Root/Triangle.

Maybe I should have waited for the official release..

When u flashed that leaked firmware, ur phone was already in stock but with TW 5 unrooted condition.
Secondly, for that triangle problem....Use the 'triangle away' app from play store.
Also, if u want official update then for few weeks more :/

You had no need to follow that guide, its bollocks and is only needed if you want to use stock recovery.
Instead just simply flash Siyah kernel v6 beta4 via ODIN and then that will give you root, cwm, super user and good stable kernel.
Flash siyah you will get amazing features like dual Booting, overclocking and advanced cwm

I have exactly the same problem.
First I tried flashing Philz kernel. But after flashing I was stuck in the boot screen. So I tried flashing Siyah (stable, not beta), but after the blinking Siyah logo at startup the phone just turned off. Only way out, wiping data/factory reset.
So I went back to 4.0.3 and then reflashed stock 4.1.2 and rooted with the method posted by the OP.
I would really prefer to flash Siyah. But I don't want to wipe... Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Step 1 - flash CF kernel which is appropriate to ur baseband with Odin
Step 2- Flash cutom rom what ever u want
Step 3 - Flash Gapps..
Thats all :good:
You can flash CWM and then the custom ROM now itself, without upgrading to ICS. Just make sure you flash the correct rooted kernel for your baseband version. Don't directly flash any CWM or use ROM manager. Good luck!

My details
Baseband version - I9100BUKI1
Kernal Version - 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKJ3-CL647431 [email protected]#2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.BUKJ3
So can anyone give me correct CWM recovery to my S2 ? (I just want to flash kitkat rom.. )
And you can't search for this why exactly ? You've been here more than long enough to know how things work.
Flash Gustavo's kernel first and then follow instructions on the omni thread for flashing as a first time user.
Search around and you will find everything here itself.
I'd suggest flashing the latest stock rom via Odin, ms1 I believe. Then flash philz kernel. Then boot into recovery, (while your new rom cwm zips are on your SD card) format system, preload, data and cache. Then flash the omni rom zip, and the correct gapps, and any other mods you would like.
