ok so i rooted my s2 , then i put the stock kernel back in .
is there a guide to show me what i have to do next ,because if i try putting my phone into download mode and try to back up the current rom or even try to install the miui rom .
all i get is a error saying failed to verify etc
can someone direct me to a guide showing me how to prep the s2 after rooting it so that i can change the rom on it .i have tried to find something showing me but cant seem to find a detailed guide
thanks in advance
You do not use download mode and Odin for flashing roms your lucky you haven't bricked it.
To flash a rom you need clockwork recovery so you need to flash a kernel that has clockwork embedded the reboot to recovery backup wipe and flash new rom

All the specific rom threads have detailed step-by-step instructions in their own threads. Which one are you trying to install?
Ok maybe this is the right place to ask another newbie question. I rooted my phone with hellcats' kernel (KF1). So now can I install any ROM. The reason I ask is coz I want to flash Litening ROM XXKG3 (i currently have stock ROM 2.3.3) and am confused if I need to have kernel KG3 in order to do so. Thanks in advance.

thanks for the reply , the rom i fancy putting on is the miui rom
Then go to that post read it all understand what you are doing .
Follow the instructions dont make it up .
Install instructions:
- Reboot to CWM
- if you are coming from other rom (full wipe): wipe /system, /cache, /data and Dalvik-cache
- upgrade: wipe /system
- install zip from SD-card, select MIUI-1.X.X-beta.zip
Note that it is a beta Rom at your own risk .

Hey fellas recently Ive been trying to install a ROM (CM 9 to be precise) and when i install it shows,
STATUS 7
installation aborted
i have tried to formatted my SD card still in did not worked,
but i also know that it may work if i update the CWM to the latest version and i am using sk17i xperia mini pro so how to do so, can any one guide me please or if there is an other way to do so please tell me.
And I have rooted stock ROM (GB) & stock Kernel.
Yes. It happened to me many times. The problem is the package and model no. mismatch . Just as a != A .... Simply Install another kernel..
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Disregard the comment above. All you need to do is flash the CM9 kernel (via fastboot), which is contained inside the flashable .zip (I assume it's FXP, right?).
Your phone will now show the FXP logo while booting up. Boot into recovery. You'll see it's CWM v6, and now you're free to install CM9. No more Status 7 errors
It happened to me on a cousin's XPlay.
Don't forget to flash CM9 baseband via FlashTool!
try this

First of all make sure you have the right version of CM9 for your device. Next, open the downloaded ZIP, edit the file updater-script in your CM9ZIP\META-INF\com\google\android\. Delete ONLYthe first line including and upto the first semicolon( which starts with:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device"...
Save the modifications made, re-copy the file to SD Card and try flashing it again.
Make sure you're using the CM9 kernel and baseband 72 too!

could u give me the download link to the CM9 kernel for sk17i
The Kernel is included in the Download ZIP File. Just Download the ZIP file and extract it. Then you have 1 extracted and 1 packed. The packed you put on the sd card.
You take out of the extracted the Boot.img. Maybe it's got another Name, but it's an image File. Just Download flashtool (search in development Forum for Sony flashtool) and Flash via fastboot mode.
But remember: For all these steps, you MUST have an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!!!

Thought that the "first semicolon" description would be enough, but anyway this is the line I'm talking about:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "WT19a" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "WT19a" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "WT19i" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "WT19i" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "coconut" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "coconut");
"WT19{a/i}" will vary as per device codes. For instance, the OP will have"SK17{a/i}" (and "mango" instead of "coconut")

Your answer is in post #3. Flash the kernel for the ROM 1st, this will update your version of cwm and everything should be fine. You need to be careful when you delete the assert(getprop.... lines from the updater-script. First, these lines are there to protect you from flashing a ROM for a different device and this can really screw up your device, so you should only delete these if you are coming from a custom ROM that wasn't ported correctly (shows the wrong device in the build.prop) or if you have mangled your build.prop beyond belief. One way to tell is by connecting your device to the PC where you keep PC Companion, if it recognized as a different device then you may need to delete the assert(getprop....lines. Second, make sure you use a compatible text editor (in windows you probably want notepad++ ) to edit your updater-script. If you use plain old notepad, or wordpad, or word, you will probably mess up the updater-script and get install errors. The easiest way to fix this is to just redownload the ROM.
Edit: To be fair to nick_pats and to the OP, this is an old thread that was started before there was a Q&A section and probably nick_pats found it the way he was suppossed to...by using the search function!
Hey guys,
I want u to tell me step-by-step how to correctly flash a rom on my phone cause I made so many mistakes on my previous attempts..
I actually only wanted to update my rom (ViperX+ 2.0.1) via OTA, but it didn't work cause I ****ed up (sorry for the expressions) all the
system fileswith Lucky Patcher, no way to solve these problems (I installed a modded playstore with it). I tried so many things to find a solution but now I'm just tired of it.. That's why I just want to install it all from the beginning on.
What I have:
Unlocked phone with ViperX+ 2.0.1, wifi and signal not working cause I failed at pushing modules.
TWRP Recovery
The ViperX+ 2.0.2 Rom
Do I have to place the Rom on the Internal Storage and if yes where?
Do I have to flash boot.img via fastboot, and if yes explain me step by step how to do it (I only remember that I had to use cmd for it)?
Is boot.img = kernel?
EDIT: Succesfully flashed the rom
Do I have to place the Rom on the Internal Storage and if yes where?
I placed it in the Roms folder and installed it from there using TWRP. The reason I asked for this is because when flashing a rom for the first time
I flashed the wrong boot.img before even copying the Rom itself on the sdcard (had to push it on the device using adb sideload)
Do I have to flash boot.img via fastboot, and if yes explain me step by step how to do it (I only remember that I had to use cmd for it)?
No, I used the Kernel flasher provided by the ROM developers, when flashing the first time it didn't work that way, mabe they fixed the flasher
Is boot.img = kernel?
Yes

Thx for the reply although I already did it on my own, I'll keep that thread in mind when I'm going to flash something again
well before i start, i have to apologize due to the fact that maybe this has been answered in a previous thread.
I have a galaxy gt-i9300 and is rooted.
Since the last year i was able to install all cfw especially miui that i have most enjoyed.
The last month i wanted to turn to cyanogen and have installed cyanogen 11 but due to the bugs i turned back to a more stable 10.2.
I recently updated also the clockwork mod recovery to 6.0.4.6.
Since then i cannot install any miui version i get (status 7) and i can install only omega roms (samsung based) and cyanogen.\
Could you pls help me
p.s. I have done the solution where you edit the zip file but nothing worked "installation aborted"
is it maybe the new clockworkmod recovery?

I don't do specific as i expect users to have read the faqs and guides before messing with a phone .
yes wipe and go back to the very beginning solves many problems .

I agree with you to a certain extent But unfortunately we live in the real world and "expecting" users to have read the faqs and guides does not happen in quite alot of cases and if they did the Q&A section would be very quiet place ( I have seen people ask questions when the answer was answered two or three posts behind .People do and will post simple questions long after we have left this wonderful forum without reading previous posts.
My point was that when people answer a question putting has much information as possible or posting links to help guides helps the person find a solution more quickly instead of endless "what do you mean" posts.
Anyway glad the op solved his problem
Hello guys,
I tried flashing cm 12.1 in oneplus x but faced a problem while doing the same.
Firstly i wiped my partitions which said-"Wipe complete" & "Failed" in new line bcos it couldn't wipe usb-otg,
i thought it was a minor problem & flashed CM 12.1 but it also gave some error as follows:
Installing '/sdcard/MA-12.1-20151223-onyx.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
This package is for device: ONE; this device is .
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/MA-12.1-20151223-onyx.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/MA-12.1-20151223-onyx.zip'

...done
I also flashed resurrection remix which gave exactly the same problem as above.
I repeated the same procedure twice & failed both the times and after that i restored my stock rom.
Can someone help me?
Delete the first line in updater.script and you will be fine.
Do u mean updater.script as in-
META-INF\com\google\android - updater-script of the rom zip file,
I tried this by deleting the first line which says-
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "ONE" ||
Got the same error again,what now?

Or just flash blu spark recovery and flash cm12.1 from it, no need to delete any line.
You'll find the recovery in the blu spark kernel thread, download latest version from there.

I hope you are using recovery from CM12.1, as MasterAwesome already mentioned in his OP that we have to use recovery which is provided by him. Or as someone else mentioned that you have to remove few lines of code to make it work.

You can flash cm12.1 from this, don't know about RR or Mokee because the updater script might be changed.
1. Flash the recovery using flashify
2. Boot into recovery, flash cm12.1
