Thanks a lot for your fast answer, If I understood well I should not follow all the steps from CM recovery tutorial..... ? What kind of wipes/formats I need to do? It is the first time that I am trying to flash with CM recovery, for me it is easier with TWRP. Is it possible to do this with TRWP?, I am trying to flash the last CM -RC7.
Could be possible a little tutorial for beginners?
Other time thanks a lot.

Yes it is possible to do it with TWRP - I just updated the TWRP build to be compatible with newer CM builds so use 3.0.2-7 and you should be fine.
Hello, it is incredible the great and useful that this community could be for people that not are an expert. Thanks to all developers and all the people that can help to others with their knowledge.
I will try, I prefer TWRP instead of CM recovery. I have some backups done that in CM rec. are invalids.
Thanks.

Hello,
I am really a beginner with flashing roms and I just flashed my first CWM and CM 10.1 rom.
But the version I chose has a few bugs, so I want to flash a different CM version. should I do it the same way as I changed from the stock ROM to CM 10.1, by moving it to root path and then via recovery choose install zip from sd card? What I also don't know is what will happen with the GAPPS. I flashed it right away the first CM flashing. but will I need to flash GAPPS again?
Also, If I want to change from non-touch CWM to touch-CWM, I do it via Odin in the same way I first flashed the non-touch CWM? Will that over-write the existing CWM?
Sorry I am really a beginner, but at least I flashed the first rom
Thanks to everyone who helps :good:

Yes, all you said is the correct way. Its that way itself.
To sum it up, if you want to flash a different CM, reboot into CWM recovery, Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik cache and flash the zip package and flash the gapps and do a wipe data/cache/dalvik cache again. Yes you need to flash GAPPS each time when you install CM.
For changing recovery, if you have another version installable via Odin, then you can go on with it, and it will replace your existing recovery.
Be sure to check this Table to know which GAPPS should be installed for which CM version.
Happy Flashing!
hi, hope someone can help. i'm sort of a newbie, so i might not even understand any help you give.:crying:
i have a optimus g e970. i installed the freeg app,
i've been trying to flash a custom rom, and have been unsuccessful. two things have happened.
1. with the freeg app, i click on the twrp block, and it says 2.6.3.3 successfully installed. so i reboot into recovery, and it says ver. 2.6.3.0 is the one i have. not sure if this matters, but figured i'd lay that out there.:crying:
and so i reboot into recovery, but when i try to install, the zip files i've put on the internal sd card are not recognized....it's like they aren't even there.
so, i try plan b.
2. i go back into freeg, and install cwm recovery, and reboot into recovery. now, the zip files ARE recognized, but every flash is aborted. unfortunately i didn't catch the exact wording of the warning it gave me, but i'm thinking maybe i had a rom not for the e970, but i'm not sure.
before i brick this thing, are there any suggestions? the rom on the device is Android version 4.1.2. i'm not big into flashing roms, but i have done so in the past if i have line by line instructions that i can follow.
Depending on what rom you are flashing You may need a more updated recovery.
Edit: nevermind you have 2.6.3.0, that is the newest version. However there is a kitkat 2.6.3.0 if ur flashing kitkat roms , use a recovery that support it

ok, i read that thread, didn't take me a whole lotta time. hahah. but next question.
the kit kat twrp....do i need that recovery if i am already on a kk, which i am not, or if i am going to flash a kk rom?
ok, this is where i'm at:
i have the kk twrp zip. i put everything on internal sd card. no recognition of zips.
i put everything on external sd card. no recognition of zips.
where i go from here, i'm all ears.

If you were already on kitkat you wouldn't need a kitkat recovery to run the phone .. If you're going to flash a kk rom you will need a kk recovery. The question is confusing ... So my answer may be confusing as well..

I don't know what internal SD card mean , the SD card or internal memory.. However regardless of the version of your recovery you should still be able to see the zips. If you are able to you may just put the kk recovery zip on your SD card, flash it , reboot recovery and see what happens. Also I think in twrp you are able to pick either to use internal memory or SD card too ( its in the options I think )
hey, thanks for your help. i know my questions can be confusing. such is being a newbie on this stuff, i don't know the precise phraseology sometimes.
nonetheless, i played around with that link you provided, and i think i might be good to go. i'll lay out what i did to help anyone who is in my positions.
i downloaded the zip for the twrp for kit kat. i was on 4.1.2, trying to flash a kk rom.
i put the zip on my internal storage, and rebooted into my already existing twrp recovery. zip not recognized. so i rebooted into cwm recovery, and the zip now was detected. i flashed the twrp for kk recovery.
rebooted into my new recovery. i wiped, and then clicked "install'. now, the recovery did in fact detect the rom and gapps zips. flashed, and rebooted system.
so i think i am good to go. not sure why twrp was not recognizing zips and cwm was. again, thanks. knowing there was a special twrp for kk got me going on the right track.

Yeah it happened to me once, I just downloaded an app called "Flashify" and used it to flash the KK TWRP.
Afterwards, reboot into the recovery and it will recognize .zip files.
I just rooted my phone using 'jeboo_kernel_i9100_v1-2a' kernel.
But now i want to install CM11 Rom on my rooted phone.
What should I do??
Please help me with the whole procedure. As this is my first experience with rooting.
Hi sly, I think you already have the basic flashing knowledge and after you do it once you will get to know it's easy.
First make a rom backup of your rom you have now(optional if you want to go maybe back, but its recommended for first time.)
Then download the latest recovery version, twrp or clockworkmod for the S2
Download cm11
Flash the newest recovery,
Reboot into recovery
Format data/factory reset
Wipe /system
Wipe /dalvik-cache
Flash cm11
Flash kitkat gapps
Reboot.
Enjoy cm11.
The reason why you need latest recovery is because cm11(kitkat) needs selinux enabled recoveries, else it will say something like aborted, set_metadata_recursive failed.
Goodluck with flashingcm11!
You can also download light gapps, also from me incase if you don't want all that bloatware from the gapps.
I hope you understand me, I can't give you all the links so you also have to search a bit in the android development forum also and read maybe some threads in general and you will be an experienced flasher/S2 owner. That I'm not posting the links of these easy things is also to help you :good:
Hi,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I have a Samsung S II GT-i9100 which has been running the Cyanogenmod 12.1 perfectly, with no issues what so ever. However, over the weekend I noticed that Cyanogenmod 13.0 Nightly was available and decided to update to this via my phone. Unfortunately, since upgrading almost all my apps have disappeared along with Google Play Services and Google Store, I have been able to download some of the apps, however, some like Strava will not work without Google Play Services. To compound matters when I boot into Recovery Mode, it displays error and will not allow me to do anything. furthermore I am unable to use TWRP Recovery that I had installed on 12.1, as Cyanogenmod 13.0 has installed its own version. I am trying to download CyanogenMod patch: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...9a3b760054a6b7, but I am unable to download the 9bfbaf33.tar file, which seems to download for approx 30 seconds and stops.
I have also tried to install the lastest update for Cyanogenmod but once it's in Recovery Mode, nothing happens and all that it shows is the message ERROR.
I am at my witts end and would appreciate any help, as I have spent three days trying to find a suitable solution.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i've got a problem too. Last week i've upgraded my phone(i9100) from CM12.1 to the first release of CM13 and I forgot to install at first gapps. Now, when I want to install gapps or a new update of CM13 from SD card it says "Installation aborted"! Does anyone knows how to solve this problem? Please, help!!!

Hi,
You can not use the patches on cyanogenmod gerrit as they are used for developers! Users will not be able to patch the kernel/ROM themselves unless they are want to compile the ROM/Kernel themselves.
As for a solution, you need to flash a kernel .tar file via ODIN, either TWRP CM12.1 kernel by Lanchon or TWRP CM12.1 by Lysergic Acid would do fine. Then you will have to install CM13, gapps, Isorec recovery manually after doing all necessary wipes (factory reset, wipe /system). Flashing Isorec recovery is also very important as you won't be able to do anything in CM recovery, so do all of the flashing before booting into CM13. For what gapps package to use, use Opengapps Pico. If you get space insufficient errors, you will have to increase system partition using the guide linked in the CM13 thread.
Good Luck! - gsstudios.

Look at the post above. You need Isorec recovery like TWRP (provided in Isorec thread) to flash zips in CM13. If you have space insufficient errors, repartition your device using the guide linked in the CM13 thread.

Cheers GGStudios you are a gentleman and a scholar. One final question (hopefully) when choosing the Opengapps, which do I choose:
Arm / Arm64 / x86 (I have a Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100)
5.1 / 6.0
Aroma / Super / Stock / Full / Mini / Micro / Nano / Pico
Thanks once again
Deepens on the size of /system partition. I would choose ARM/6.0/Pico, just to be safe. Bigger gapps might work, but I'm not completely sure.
Cheers for the advice Kevin3014.
Sorry for all the questions.
Okay, I seem to have all the necessary files to sort this phone of mine out. However, I am struggling to locate the Isorec recovery file, when I click on the hyperlink I am taken to http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/isorec-isolated-recovery-galaxy-s2-t3291176, from where I select CyanogenMod patch: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...9a3b760054a6b7. Once at the Github site I am shown IsoRec: Isolated Recovery for the Exynos 4210 family, but unfortunately I cannot find the necessary file(s). Please can someone direct me to the file.
Also when you suggest installing Isorec recovery is that via Odin or through Recovery Mode.
Thanks
Here's the IsoRec Kernel.

Hi , i im in the same situation like pops1368 . Can u write me what to do step by step . I ve a limited connection and i need to fix this . Ty.
Hi Rolves1899,
If you look at GSStudios' reply to me on the previous page, you will see that he has provided me with the resolution. Further down you will also see replies from Kevin3014 which provide further clarification.
Between both replies you will be able to fix the issues with your phone.
GGStudio, Kevin3014,
Would either of you guys know why my contacts refuse to Import into the Contacts app. I have a VCard file stored on my external SD card and when I attempt to Import the file via Contacts it shows that its performing the Import, yet when I look at the Contatcs app, theres nothing there. What is going wrong?
Thx for reply. CM13 seems like have some problems. Do u know how can i back to cm12.1 ?
---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------
Also after setup the kernel , will i able to flash .zip files from stock recovery ? Should do i anything else?

Try to sync your contacts from your Google account. If you don't have any contacts in your Google account then you can import that vCard on Google Contacts.
Or you could just try a third party contacts app and see whether it could import your contacts from the vCard file.

Make sure you have both the IsoRec kernel and recovery in your phone's SD card.
Flash this CWM using Odin. After successfully flashing it, do NOT boot into CyanogenMod, but boot into recovery, in CWM flash the IsoRec kernel and then flash IsoRec TWRP. Reboot your recovery, and you should see TWRP.
Cheers Kevin3014. I managed to figure it out after a lot of effing and jeffing, turns out my previous vCard was corrupt.
Thanks for all your help.
Hello everybody, as the title says, I currently have this configuration. My father's phone always reports memory is full and I decided to upgrade the phone to a different ROM, possibly one which is light. Anyway I found different threads about IsoRec recovery but I didn't understood what are we talking about. Also, I was not able to understand what to do and which files to flash, even if, just for an example, I wish to flash latest CM13. I think that an old recovery which supports Android 4.1.2 doesn't support Android 6.0 to be flashed via zip, so I would probably mess up something. So, what should I do? Flash something with ODIN via PC? Or there's something I can do directly from the phone to update recovery and then flash the ROM's zip? Thank you!
Hi,
You can follow the instructions here to install CM12.1 first:
Download cm-12.1-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip to your sdcard
Make sure you're using a Kitkat Compatible Recovery
Boot into Recovery
Wipe all your data
Flash cm-12-.1XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip from sdcard
(Optional)Flash Google Apps.zip from sdcard
Reboot
