Sorry my bad. I saw a link to a cf xx_nee_lpd but it was not your post, it was Leolysenko.

Sorry.

Despite reading for around 2 hours I think I've confused myself. I currently have a stock unrooted lp7 kernel, i flashed it manually using odin a while ago before the official ics release.

There seems to be a lot of methods of rooting, i was thinking of rooting and flashing resurrection remix, I'm unclear as to which cf file to use with my current kernel, could I use an xx_lpg?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mario1968:
I've read the forum and seems that the MMC_CAP... can corrupt different partitions (irrecoverable emmc blocks) but only if it happens to bootblocks you got a superbrick, if the partitions corrupted are data or system you can boot the phone to the Samsung logo and can't flash any data or system partitions, this threads can help you to recover your S2 with a special .pit that move those partitions in other areas leave the bad blocks unused, you lost some emmc memory (from 1 to 3 GB) but if you are lucky the phone works after this method.

I hope you understand my English

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip will work fine for you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Why would I suggest it then?

Siyah has eMMC_CAP_ERASE=0. So, that's why I said you will be safe.

Flash it via ODIN as PDA, your phone has to be in Download Mode. You will most likely get the triangle back, so get your JIG ready.

This is the one you need:

Just the ones that are checked when you open ODIN.

F-Reset Time and Auto Reboot. Everything else needs to be unchecked.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tygoger:
Thank you Chainfire for making this!!! And capaxdoli for the perfect newbie guide for people like me!

I have one question, maybe a stupid one: Do I need to get rid of the yellow triangle? It doesn't bother me to be honest.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xinfinityoO:
yes .. the files size should be 500MB or so

if you want to go back to stock.. should do wipe and clear cache . you will lose your apps and settings and flash with the ROM..

if you just want to remove the yellow triangle then flash with stock kernel .. not the whole ROM
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xinfinityoO:
you dont need to remove it.. its just that some people dont like it appearing on their screen..

but if returning for warranty .. that's another story .. you have to go back to stock and use a usb jig to remove triangle and reset counter
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Not having an external SD card is probably why it shows that message then :)

Phil3759,

If you advice your method for rooting than also warn people about the danger of cwm on xxlq5 and xwlpm. In our russian forum the first bricks appeared afrer using your method on xxlq5. They simply used the touch cwm. So a warning is obviously needed.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Phil3759:
1- None of the zip files I uploaded touches the data or cache partitions, be it read or write

2- No Format command is issued, not even a delete_recursive command

3- Only 3 single files delete commands are issued on /system

So, you will not brick anything with it

Now, of course, inside touch CWM if you play with wipe and format /data and /cache, you are on your own, like with any CWM recovery
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] leolysenko:
So make a warning in your post: "do not use cwm but for installing the su. Do not use it for wipes, backups or firmware installation"

Someone could use it in a wrong way, man. Dont argue me. Just do it.

What we do here is for people, so do it for people.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gcee:
I have heard conflicting stories about renaming nandroid backups.

On my HTC I always used ROM Manager to do the renaming and I never had any problems.

Now on the SG2 and with ROM Manager being discouraged from use in preference to CWM Manager (which doesn't have the option to change the names), I'm not sure what the correct story is.

Any help...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
I changed the name of the nandroid backup twice.

The first time, I had issues, as I used spaces in the folder name. After removing the spaces, everything worked fine.

The second time, I used underscores instead of spaces, and I had no issues at all.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
You can just rename the backup folders.

Use a File Manager with root function, go into either mount/emmc/clockworkmod/backup. One you're in that directory, rename any dated folder there.

Or for internal sd its mount/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.

EDIT: and as It_ler says above, try to use dots and underscores instead of spaces.

Hi,

Okay first thing first. I have tried to flash a kernel with odin. kernel version CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER

Original: 3.0.15-I9100BVLPB-CL310231 dpi@DELL151 #3

Everything gone OK, phone rebooted, triangle ok. Galaxy S II logo appears. after that nothing. Im still able to enter download mode but no custom recovery etc. Any Idea?

Thanx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Try to re-flash the CF-Root kernel.

If that does not help, try to flash another CF-Root kernel, such as CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip.

If that does not help either, you may have to flash the whole ROM again to your phone.

Good luck !

Yesterday something went terrible wrong. On the S2 of a friend of mine I used Odin to flash: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5 because LP7 was the firmware version. Odin passed and reboots. I see the triangle and that's it. It just stays and the initial bootscreen. I reflashed and still no result. Since nothing seemed to help I tried to flash original firmware I9100XWLPD_I9100XXLPW_I9100LUXLP1_HOME.tar as being the most recent firmware but this time Odin fails. All I get is this red coloured FAIL message. Now I'm stuck with a S2 that only gets into download mode and nothing more.

Can somebody please help me???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Did you try booting straight to recovery??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] J_Force:
can't get into recovery. only in download. Normal boot gets stuck on Galaxy text
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
What options did you tick when you we're flashing via ODIN?

You didin't enable re-partition right??

It would be good if you could try flashing the stock firmware again and paste a screenshot here, so its easier to help you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] J_Force:
No I did not enable repartion
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:
Ok, sounds like a "soft brick".

Are you sure that Kies is not running on your PC? No Kies process should be active in TaskManager when flashing with Odin.

If you start Odin and connect your phone, which is already in download mode, does the yellow "com" box appear? (in newer Odin versions it is blue)

Do you know if you have flashed a bootloader?

Maybe you should flash the ICS bootloader separtely before flashing the ROM again.

You can find the bootloader here => http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16781156&postcount=2

Search for a grey box with red letter.

Download and flash ICS bootloader in PDA section of Odin to yor phone.

Then try to boot the phone normally.

Maybe you can flash the XWLPD ROM afterwards successfully.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] leolysenko:
Hi.

Usually this happens when you flash a wrong kernel. Are you sure your initial kernel was LP7?

The best way is to flash the original kernel back.

If you are not sure about the kernel version than try to flash a kernel that suits any 4 0 3, if you are sure that your firmware is 4.0.3...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] J_Force:
no kies processes: check

phone connected and yellow box COM4: check

I didn't flash a bootloader on purpose

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] It_ler:

Not on my phone.

I had stock XWLPD ROM with CF-Root v5.5 for XXLPD and wifi worked fine.

Maybe it has another cause on your phone.

Have you already wipe cache partition and Dalvik cache in recovery?

Fixed permissions?

If it does not help, try to flash the CF-Root kernel again.

If that does not help either, you may have to flash the ROM again.
