[Galaxy S II Android Development] R3BOOT:
The question should be: "what ROM should I use now". If you're new to ROM's this is not the place to start if you like to keep up to date.

Litepro has not responded to any requests here for quite some time, so one could assume he's gone or changed his handle to develop another ROM (detectives go!). His last activity on XDA was in August. It's now November. Try other ROM's.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mojolive:
Not sure what your complete problem is but,

Try to install a different firmware.. like stock samsung.. then install a different rom..

Or try to flash it again with heimdall

hi all!

I have just got my sgs2 and manage to install litening rom to my phone successfully, but after using it for sometimes, i notice that my phone auto reboot when i open any apps.(I have not yet do any wipe)

Do i have to do a wipe and reflash the rom to prevent the auto reboot?

thanks!

Hi a newbie here.

Recently i flashed my S2 with I9100XXKI3 and rooted it with CF-Root(CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KI3-42-v4.2-CWM4).

I wanted to Install a custom ROM and I chose Villain ROM 3.0.

As i read in the forum,

Went to CWM recovery mode,

1. Wiped Data

2. Wiped Cache

3. Wiped Dalvik

4. Select 'Install ZIP from SD Card'

5. Select 'Choose Zip from SD Card'

6. Reboot

The phone rebooted. The phone dint bootup. It was in the starting screen.

After 15 mins i rebooted the phone and went to CWM recovery mode.

There i found the /sdcard /cache etc are not accessable.

It errors out saying unable to mount /sdcard.

Then i reflashed to stock via odin and the stock is working fine.

Now downloaded lightening rom and installed. Still the same issue. Im not able to Install any custom ROM's... I donno why.

Please help me on this.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] E-riko:
eeuuuhm, dunno what forum you read, but I suggest you reread the first post here!!

you dont even have to be in CWM to install this rom!

you have to use ODIN to install!

litening is offered in a .tar file and .tar files are installed in odin

you want to install a .zip file, and zips are installed in CWM, but this isnt the case for litening
[Galaxy S II Android Development] neobirdrio:
1. Wiped Data

2. Wiped Cache

3. Wiped Dalvik

4--------------FACTORY RESET -------------------

5. Select 'Install ZIP from SD Card' = X

6. Select 'Choose Zip from SD Card' = X

7. Reboot

8. Kabooommm!!!! ( litening rom file is .tar = use odin v1.85 to flash it )

YOU MISS FACTORY RESET!

if your device currently running stock rom XXKI3, rooted is with hellcat kernel or your modified cf-root kernel you mentioned above..either one. but i prefer hellcat coz it support CWM5 which give more option when you are in recovery mode.

if im not wrong, your cf-root kernel = recovery mode 3e = less option. so i prefer use hellcat kernel. root your stock FW XXKI3 with hellcat kernel. no need cf-root kernel anymore but u need stock XXKI3 kernel ( read the instruction in hellcat kernel's page, there's full guide and easy to step..)

when you done flashing..go into recovery mode, then make a backup for XXKI3. then you are free to flash any other new rom by doing FULL WIPE

clear data/cache/dalvik/factory reset. with this method done, zero mistake and zero bugs after flashing any other new rom. flash litening rom WITH ODIN..i repeat..WITH ODIN!!. good luck
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rameshzombie:
I forgot to mention.... As i was pissed installing villainrom... I came to Lightening ROM.....

Now i had Stock XXKI3. Didn't root my phone. Downloaded LighteningROM V6.1.

Installed through Odin. Odin showed success and the phone rebooted. The phone stuck at boot screen where it shows Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 with a Yellow TRIANGLE.

Confused, why is it taking so long to boot?

Then i switched off the phone and went to recovery mode (Volume UP + HOME + POWER)

When I entered recovery, it said,

E:can't mount / cache/recovery/command

E:can't mount / cache/recovery/log

E:can't open / cache/recovery/log

E:can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log

E:can't open / cache/recovery/last_log

Same thing that happened during Villain ROM installation.

I donno where im goin wrong.... Spent the whole weekend to install a custom ROM(FAILED ALL THE TIME).

Now im back to Stock KI3. What to do now? What else can I do?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] neobirdrio:
wait! you said your device currently running stock XXKI3? not rooted? tell me how you get back to stock rom XXKI3 after failed installed those custom rom. is it from backup? via KIES? or flash with odin? let me know this...i think i can help you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rameshzombie:
Let me be clear. :)

I installed 2.3.5 I9100XXKI3 via Odin. (As said in DialAdroid)

Rooted KI3 via Odin. (As said in DialAndroidroot)

Installing Villainrom n Lightningrom failed me.

So i flashed back to stock via Odin
[Galaxy S II Android Development] neobirdrio:
do this ;

1 - enter recovery more do full wipe of - data/cache/dalvik/factory reset then reboot.

2 - flash stock rom I9100XXKI3 firmware with odin 1.85.. reboot.

3 - enter download mode - flash Hellcat kernel with Odin 1.85..reboot

4 - get into app drawer and find K-tool apps and follow the instructions in Hellcat's page ( dump kernel )

- flash stock I9100XXKI3 kernel with odin..

- finish the step with K-tool ( flash zimage )..reboot

- successfully flashing = no yellow mark on boot up, device fully rooted - done

5 - easy way, get into recovery mode again, now you got CWM5 with more option, choose make backup . IMPORTANT ( in case you face any trouble in future ) you could recover your phone by restoring the backup.

6 - now you phone in safe state, your device is ready for any new rom to come.

flashing new rom : Example Litening Rom

7 - before flashing, make sure you do FULL WIPE..( step 1 )... ignore if they told you no need to do full wipe since most feedback that encountered problems cause of not full wipe. do full wipe for your device safety from facing any problem after flashing rom. remember, you are going to flash CUSTOM ROM.. so you might face CUSTOM PROBLEM.. so better full wipe. :)

in recovery mode clear data/cache/dalvik/factory reset..then reboot.. when device up, boot into download mode to flash letening rom with odin

8 - litening rom .tar.. so use odin v1.85. flash it..100% will be done. good luck.

ps: if .tar file..use odin. if .zip..use recovery mode ( install from sdcard )

download Hellcat kernel and read instruction.. include how to get rid of yellow sign on boot ( your phone will be fully rooted by doing this )

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182922

stock I9100XXKI3 kernel download ( you need this original I9100XXKI3 kernel to complete rooting with hellcat kernel) DONT USE CF-ROOT kernel..you will get recovery e3 which is less option on recovery mode.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Bubbster:
Just upgraded from a HTC Desire running Oxygen to a SGSII and this ROM. Really liking it so far.

Just missing one thing which I can't seem to find. On my Desire there was an option to keep the screen on all the time when charging - is there any such option on this ROM?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bawbaw24:
after flshing the rom, i get an error wen using the browser ( configuration_error) "could not connect to LDPA server" please help!

never mind! it was not the rom it was vodafone. great rom loving it. thx anyway
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rameshzombie:
Hi. Thanks for your reply.

Still facing issues.

First thing.

1. Installed the Hellcat Kernal (Check the kernal in About)

2. Went to Companion Tool ("HC-kTool")

3. Tapped "Dump current kernel"

4. Tapped "Reboot to Downloadmode"

5. Installed stock kernal via Odin

6. Went to Companion Tool again and Tapped "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage"

7. Tap "Reboot"

8. Checked the version (Still it was the stock kernal) :mad:

Then pissed off. Installed the Hellcat kernal again. But didnt do the above steps now. I was in Hellcat kernal.

Went to recovery mode (CWM 5) :)

Wiped data/cache/dalvik/factory.

Rebooted the phone (Guess wat happened??)

BOOTLOOP :'(

Switched the phone to download mode.

Installed Lightening ROM.

Success in Odin.

Phone rebooted. The unbelievable part is , the phone went to recovery mode. The recovery mode is Clockworkmod Recovery v4.0.0.2 :eek:

There i have the error as below

E:can't mount / cache/recovery/command

E:can't mount / cache/recovery/log

E:can't open / cache/recovery/log

E:can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log

E:can't open / cache/recovery/last_log

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Why Why Why????? Why me??? Where am I going wrong :'(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheFaixy:
flash stock ROM and root with Cf root. If everything is ok then post back
[Galaxy S II Android Development] neobirdrio:
dude, you did wrong again, look at your 1st step, i didnt told you to start with installing hellcat. i told you to flash back to original stock firmware..not to continue with your current condition which your stock rom has been rooted with cf-root kernel. and its corrupted. i did mentioned NOT TO USE CF-ROOT kernel.

step 1 told you to go back to FRESH stock room ( unrooted / virgin ).. only root your fresh stock rom with hellcat. thats what i told you..original stock firmware I9100XXKI3 file is about 280MB in size. you need to back to fresh state. start everything from there bro. come on.. do it again.. im sure it will work this time.

now try to enter recovery mode, if there is no wipe data/ cache / dalvik / ractory reset option...just go to download mode, flash original stock rom..you'll get recovery mode back to normal again and your phone back to fresh / virgin state. then.. continue with hellcat..do it.

I REMIND AGAIN DONT YOU CF-ROOT KERNEL!!

1 - back to original firmware ( virgin )

2 - continue with hellcat...

3 - continue as i told you step by step..good luck.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] neobirdrio:
dont do anything stupid or it could end up with bricking the phone. simply do as what i said. Even you bring your phone back to customer service centre, they will do the same as i told you to do, flashing back to original state with a small price charge.

do what i told you..start with step 1..then step 2.. if step 1 cannot be done ( wipe data, cache, dalvik, factory reset ).. just skip it to step 2 ( flash XXKI3 with odin ), then continue with hellcat rooting method. and so on as mentioned. good luck.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rameshzombie:
Hi Neo. I don't think I'm wrong in any step but don't wanna justify it.

I planned to record a video on what I did for flashing. Ill post it here so that you can see where I went wrong. I'm very unlucky. :(

I tried lite'ning rom and my phone got stuck in a boot loop. since then i have tried everything on this forum and others. in recovery mode i have wiped to factory, wiped cache partition, wiped everything i could. i can access recovery mode and download mode but i cant force mount my external sd, internal sd or even cache.

i tried flashing with my stock rom and villain 1.1 but im still stuck in boot mode. does anyone have any suggestions? thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zoie:
Before installing this rom make sure that usb debbuging is enable.

If you got bootloop press power button wait until the phone is off.

Press volume up home button and power button to enter recovery then wipe data storage then reboot.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] soapywater:
usb debugging was enabled. and i was coming from the stock rom. i can wipe data storage but it just says then that it failed to mount cache and efs. so i dont believe it's doing much of anything now
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rogeriok:
if odin is not working,try to use heindal or another pc...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] neobirdrio:
try connect your device to pc. with Samsung KIES, make sure your KIES with latest update.. once KIES detected your phone, it will display your device Firmware and any latest firware available to update. use Samsung KIES to restore original firmware.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] soapywater:
when i download heimdall in the readme file it says that i need to load the drives on to my phone. but of course i cant because i cant get in to my phone. is it ok if i dont load the drivers?

also when i try to load the firmware package from samfirmware i get an error message- firmware.xml missing from the package
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheFaixy:
can you flash stock ROM ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] soapywater:
i tried flashing the stock rom through odin but its still stuck on the boot screen maybe i dont have the right stock rom. but i went through and found the right number for my phone which is XWKF3

Hey guys... finally got my SGS2...!! Gonna flash this baby since it seems to be the most popular... just had a question or 2 first... I wouldnt call myself a Noob as iv had a SGS and flashed the crap out of it and then a Motorola Atix and pretty much the same...

just want to confirm before moving on from stock 2.3.3...im not rooted or anything at the moment... and just wanted to make sure i dont need to root or put CMW or anything else before installing lightening 6.1...?? just connect and flash via ODIN...??? No need to wipe or anything... tho i want the cleanest install possible since dont have anything on the phone yet... and it says here you dont need to wipe factory reset... just wipe dalvic and cache... and this will put on cmw and root and superuser and everything else...???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] D79_:
Just install this rom as directed, no need to root or do any preparation first :-)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rinoko72:
Sone people might suggest that you delete this and that before flashing, which is sound advice, but I just did as it says in the first post and did not have any trouble at all.. :)

Not quite sure why many people have problems after flashing this Rom, for me it worked perfectly :)

Happy flashing ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] R3BOOT:
It "was" one of the most popular ROM's. Now though, the last few hundred posts have included anything from "where is Litepro" to "I hope version 7 is out soon" (some people have hopes I guess). So pretty much nothing useful. He's not been active since August. I've since taken the opportunity to experiment a bit more and have moved ROM's a few times.

That said, it is still decent in its current state but don't expect anything in the way of updates or support any time soon, if ever.

Regards.

hey guys if you want latest rom with litening theme you should try ultratoxic here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1334124
[Galaxy S II Android Development] neobirdrio:
as you can see most of the user come with their problem after flashing, i dont know why, as well as i know, flashing a custom rom is better for rooted device. for safety flashing and avoid major problems happened. and never forget, a backup of your current rom is most important.

if you dont want to wipe.. well do a backup 1st. then flash without wipe. then you can see the result after flashing. if somethig goes wrong with your phone, just simply restore your backup and your phone back to as it is before. with a backup, you could try flash without wipe, if you dont have any backup, i prefer root and wipe.
