Flashed on stock KE7 (itv), everything works fine

I confirm the "power button" to confirm instead of home, but who cares!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] santacruzdz:
Could you please tell me what to do....i installed Rom manager from the market then flashed the recovery and then i wanted to save my current stock rom rooted with Odin but when it boots into recovery and start opening the packages it stops and says E: whole package verification failed. operation aborted. could you please help me..?! i have original kernel KWE2...danke im voraus !!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DvTonder:
same problem here. Whenever I select to boot into recovery from rom manager I get a triangle with exclamation and an android. On reboot, the phone goes into recovery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 619619:
With Odin? Why not nand backup using the recovery?

BTW, found a "bug" in RM+CWM: If you select "Backup Current Rom" from Rom Manager the phone restarts, but it gets stuck (Triangle+Android image), you have to turn it off and then on again, the backup process will begin as it was intended and then the phone will reboot;

So, people don't freak out, everything it's ok
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DvTonder:
Ahh, same issue I am observing. Glad I am not the only one. Definitely would put it in the bug category
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] santacruzdz:
Sorry to ask...but how to do a nandroid backup without going through cwm ?? i always did it using cwm..please hep !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] santacruzdz:
After rooting i dont find any nand backup option ??!...i used odin to do the root ...? Any idea please ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] floomat:
someone can verify if this works with lightning rom (1.3)?

don't have the phone myself and my girlfriend would be pissed if i brick her device :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nightranger73:
You have to power on the phone just as you do for download mode but pressing the volume up button to enter recovery

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] venezia64:
Great work codeworkx!

I have one question although: why is the kernel linked to the recovery partition? I though -coming from N1- that kernel was in the system partition, separated from the recovery one?!?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] manuvaidya:
@codeworkx: i am running litepro ROM with KE8 version firmware... if i flash this kernel, it will change my kernel to KE7... as far as i know, the battery life is very poor in KE7...

can u pls make CWM based on KE8...

i think it will benifit all of us here... waiting for ur reply buddy....

thanks for ur hard work...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chaimd:
Nice work!

I will build whole system uv kernel with your initramfs, later.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] walda:
are older nandroid backups compatible to this version?

thx

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Araf:
meaning that we can do backup/restore?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] slyydrr:
Meaning you can download clockwork mod and install the updated recovery from there. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] oleost:
If I flash this and want to get back to stock for warranty, can I just enter ODIN mode and flash an official samsung firmware?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
Samsung is using a combined android/recovery ramdisk. Don't know why, but they're doing it on every phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bishopandme:
thx...good job !!!

;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] oleost:
I'm new to this, but isn't the recovery on a separate partition to decrease the chance of bricking the phone? (If one have a bad flash, on could always flash again, because the recovery is still intact? )

Does Samsung have this covered with the ODIN mode? Is that mode on a separate partition?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] irenutia:
Not possible to access external-sd

Hi, I just try to flash one mod saved in my external-sd by using CWM 4.0.0.1 and it doesn´t goes into external-sd partition :-(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dyallo:
First of all - Hey Codeworkx and Kolja and glad to have you on the I9100.

Continuing:

Yesterday I flashed VillainROM over Angeloms KE7, then directly after, I flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery.

After this, my Vibration wouldn't work. Tried rebooting and running LCDTest for vibration (among other stuff) and it didn't work.

Now I wiped data/factory reset and flashed stock KE2 over it, and vibration is back.

I don't know if it was after flashing VillainROM or this kernel that caused it, but I just wanted to bring it to your attention.

Keep up the awesome work!

Dyallo

-EDIT- Just repeated the procedure and the vibration was indeed broken again.

1. Stock KE2

2. Flash VillainROM

3. Flash CWM Kernel

4. ???

5. Vibration gone

-EDIT2-

1. Flashed CF-Root 3.7 Kernel over CWM Kernel

2. Vibration working again
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tready:
Iv just flashed cwm and vibration is working here
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] santacruzdz:
sorry to ask again...but i did what you said, i entered the recovery mod...and i dont find the nandroid option ?? there is only reboot option, wipe cache and select a folder or something like that...thats it ?? no nandroid backup ?? do you have an idea about how to get the nandroid ??? i used the superoneclick but seems it get frozen and the end and dont finish the work when i plug my phone to the computer...hmmmmm...please help !!!

Click backup and restore then do a backup thats a nandroid if its not there reflash recovery i have it and it works
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jamesking420:
Will we get the yellow ! on boot up with this kernel?

Is it OK to apply this to a rooted KE7 stock ROM?

Thanks,

James
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dyallo:
Yes you will get the yellow triangle! And yes it's okay!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jamesking420:
Thanks!

But I don't want the yellow triangle :-p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tready:
Well buy a jig of ebay then no more yellow triangles
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jamesking420:
I thought there was a method of making a custom ROM/kernel that does not have a yellow triangle? so I thought maybe I'd just wait for that!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] santacruzdz:
thank you for your answer..unfortunately i dont have the backup option in my recovery..how did you flash to have it ?? because i flashed insecure KDD then i get back to my original KE2...i tried on both, non have the back up option in recovery mode :(...please help me !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tready:
U dont need to flash the insecure kernal just flash cwm kernal with odin then root it then boot into recovery turn phone of vol up home button power button at the same time then do a bk up
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tready:
Thats if u use cf cwm recovery to flash a kernal
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jamesking420:
OK, thanks.

So at some point you still need to flash using ODIN which will get the yellow triangle anyway. Might as well do it now then!

... and purchase a Jig.

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Aanze:
FYI, if you're under CF-Root 3.7, flashing the kernel using CWM app from phone worked like a charm.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tready:
First thing i bought after getting this phone was a jig its a must have item especially for us flash fanatics lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jamesking420:
OK, so I flashed this in ODIN and all went smoothly.

I then ran ROM Manager and clicked the button at the top to update my Recovery, to 4.0.0.2. ROM Manger claimed to have done this successfully, but when I booted in to ecovery (Vol up + Home + Power), it still said version 4.0.0.1. anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

James
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BlackLine:
Did you root your Device after the Odin flash?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] venezia64:
I know you're also working on CM7 so I'd like to know if this will also be the case for this ROM or will it be separated again?

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
We cannot decide if we're using a combined partition or separated.

It's the bootloader who does it. ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tricky103:
Hi Codeworkx, you quoted that your flashing from CWM..

I have been trying to do this all night.

Could you help me out a little. I am now trolling through threads :)

I would appreciate a little guidance :)

Edit. I have been getting different results trying from cwm 3.0.0.5 and 4.0.0.1. The later seems to go further.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmcole101:
Thanks muchly for the CWM 4.0.0.2 upgrade to i9100.

However, there are some issues which have appeared since flashing:

First, is the yellow warning symbol has reappeared at first boot screen.

Second, is in Recovery mode, the Home key only advances the cursor instead of making an Enter.

Lastly, after going into ROM Manager, flashing CWM to 4.0.0.2 the rebooting into recovery, a white yield symbol with the green droid appears and I am unable to access the Recovery Menu.

Is this a known situation with a fix or any suggestions to correct my ROM?

TIA

Cole
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cmcole101:
Addendum: I have discovered that the Power button is now the Enter key instead of the Home key. Is this correct for CWM 4.0.0.2?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] manuvaidya:
@codeworkx: i am waiting for ur CWM kernel based on KE8... pls let me know if that is possible now or not. i am pretty much happy with the battery life of this kernel.

hence i am little bit hesitant to flash ur CWM 4.0.0.1 which is based on KE7...

waiting for ur clarification pls..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ferreinf:
Yep just installed rom manager and have booth cwm, 3.0.xx home = action, rm version 4.0.x power is action... :s
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] schack:
I'm really happy with KE8 as well, had a few crashes with KE7, KE8 fixed that.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tready:
The yellow triangle appears when ever you flash none samsung kernals/roms use a jig to remove it.if you read the op instructions it clearly tells you vol keys move cursor up down and power is enter and home button is useless.after rebooting u see a white yield symbol with a green droid long press power button the phone will turn of tap power button again you will now boot into cwm recovery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] santacruzdz:
Thank you !!! this time it worked..i finally found the backup/restore option ! i backed up the stock rom...but now can i reflash to the original KE2 kernek ? or should i stay with the cwm kernel ? i still have that yellow triangle when i start the phone.. which desapear when i go back to the KE2...if i do so, can i still find the saved rom in cockworkmod.apk ?? let me know please !! thank you again for your help!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tready:
The way i understand it is this the cwm kernal is needed to run cwm recovery so if u flash ke2 kernal yeah the yellow triangle will be gone but cwm recovery wont work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
updated to 4.0.0.2

-----------------------------------

I'm using the official released sources for this kernel and i'm not going to inject the ramdisk into a prebuilt kernel like KE8.

You have to wait for the next source release from samsung.

------------------------------------

For buttons: read teh op. everything you need to know is there. I'm using the volume + power buttons because it's the way every device normally does (except samsung stock).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonsey:
i've this version from a couple of days...i've downloaded directly form RomManager...and after a reboot was installed by itself...is the same version right?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DvTonder:
Updated to 4.0.0.2. Thank you Codeworkx.

Just a note for those wondering, after going into ROM Manager, and rebooting into recovery, the white yield symbol with the green droid still appears with 4.0.0.2. Same workaround, as mentioned on the previous page, applies.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tready:
Or a better way is download quickboot from the market its free 4 options 1 reboot 2 bootbootloader 3 bootrecovery 4 poweroff works well with sgs2

sent from my nokia 3310
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DvTonder:
It is an option, yes, and I do have it installed. Even though it can be done manually, it is really convenient to be able to boot into recovery from Rom Manager when downloading and installing Roms (e.g Cyanogenmod).

Given that Quickboot works, I suspect the problem is not with the recovery but with Rom Manager itself.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] designgears:
Nevermind, all fixed
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] samjpullen:
Anyone have a list of Rom's that are Flashable with with Kernel and Rom Manager ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] designgears:
I don't think there are any.. yet.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] samjpullen:
codeworkx said on page 2 or 3 that he was already flashing them ?

unless it was his own custom rom build.

I had a look at flashing VillanROM etc but I am not 100% sure if they will work as the ROM creators ask you to unzip before a flash using odin...

Confused a little :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] designgears:
probably talking about his own stuff I would assume.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] irenutia:
Hi, thanks codework but I must say, I have same problem as I had with 4.0.0.1. I´ve just flashed 4.0.0.2 but, again, when trying to access external_sd (my own sd card) CWM 4.0.0.2 doesn´t go into that partition so it is not possible to flash eny file saved in the external sd :-(

I have angelo XWKE8 1.0 rom installed... I think it´s independant from ROM but....

Thanks and anyone with same problem as me?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
CWM only supports one SDCard for flashing and that's the internal.

/sdcard/External_SD is just a folder created by samsung, but there's nothing mounted to.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] irenutia:
Thanks but then why does it works in CWM 3.0.0.5 (chainfire) ? :-(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
i think he modified it.

we have to care about all cm devices so we're not able to modify it like he did.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] irenutia:
Ok, thanks.. so it´s not possible to be modified ;)

Ok, we´ll get used to using only internal sdcard for saving possible files to be flashed via CWM ;)

Best regards
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hakkinenvthh:
I have only a question. Can we update all the firmwares by Rom manager with the CWM 4.0.0.2? Thanks for your hard works.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
On stock kernels no.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] samjpullen:
Hey codeworkx may i ask how you flashed new Roms ?

I am guessing you cooked them up yourself as i can't seem to find a way yet...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tublah:
Getting back to stock recovery?

bump. Anyone know the answer to this?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
cwm recovery is attached to the kernel, so if you flash a stock kernel it will revert your recovery to stock as well;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
codeworkx - i see in your sig that you have "Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100: 2.6.35, CWM 4, CyanogenMod 7".... is this for reals? like beta... im keen to try it out :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Flashing this Kernel

Hi All.

Sorry if this has been answered, but not easily seen prior to posting this.

I flashed my Sg2 using an insecure kernel to achieve root etc, and have not yet replaced this with a secure kernel again, to remove the yellow triangle on boot.

I wish to get clockwork mod installed on my phone, as I used to love this on my old desire.

Is it safe for me to flash this kernel onto my phone, or do I need to do something prior to installing this?

I downloaded and installed rom manager, and tried to reboot into recovery, but when it was rebooting, it gave an error when attempting to install something, ( i am assuming a version of clockwork mod recover)

Apologies all if this has been answered, not too used to .tar files etc, as never had these on the desire

Cheers All.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
- Power off

- Hold Volume Down + Home + Power

- Confirm warning with Volume up

- Open Odin

- Choose the .tar file as PDA

- Hit start button
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Hi codeworkx.

Thanks for your help with this.

I take it I will still have the yellow triangle on boot once I do this?

Doesnt really matter does it?

Cheers

Glen
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
The yellow triangle means, that you're using a non-samsung-signed kernel.

Should appear on every custom kernel, but doesn't matter.

if you have to return your phone flash a stock kernel and use JIG to reset the counter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
and that will remove root, CMW etc?

Have a good day.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
Flashing a full stock rom using odin will remove everything.

It's like buying a fresh device. ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vikas776:
hey Codeworkx

i tried to take nandriod backup and try to restore it , it gives no errors but when i rebooted phone stuck in boot loop . pls look into it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Stuck now in bootloop

Hi Codeworkx.

Did the instructions, and then rebooted the SG2.

Now it seems i am stuck n a massive bootloop.

anyone else has this, and how can I escape the bootloop.

Cheers

Glen
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
No logs? Mind reading?

I'm doing it every day and it works without any problems.

Tried it with KE4, KE7, KF1, KF2. No problems.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] h4wk3y:
hello,

i have one question.

Are you able to edit your kernel with raised charging amperage limitations?

I read, that the charging "driver" is in kernel an there is, that the maximal amparege from USB is about 430mA and from AC about 650mA....

Can you raise this limitations in some kernel?

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vegetaleb:
Flashing clockwork recovery from a downloaded rom manager will mess up this install?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicksean:
Thank you! =)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sicopat:
Hi,

A noob question : Is it possible to use your CWM_KE7_initramfs in order to compile a custom CWM KF2 kernel ?

What is the impact of using "older" initramfs than the core kernel ?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
yes you can.

mostly there are no changes to ramdisk at all.

KE7, KF2 and so on are only build numbers. it doesn't mean that there must be changes. it's just a number like a date.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ankitb4u:
So I was on 4.0.0.2 and had the yellow triangle, I own a jig but wanted to do it the traditional lame way so I did it with the three button hold.

When I upgraded to 4.0.0.5 I used the jig and it, and Guess what?

NO MORE TRIANGLE.

Well touch wood I haven't rebooted into cwm yet. Lets hope that happens.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
it's known that using jig resets the counter and removes the triangle.

in case that anyone asks if this kernel works with 2.3.4: seems to be good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
codeworkx, I couldn't get it to boot on the stock 2.3.4 firmware...so the initramfs are definitely different

I compiled a new kernel with the 2.3.4 initramfs and all is good;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
mine worked fine.

I'll have a look at it today.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] PATLEN:
KG1

So your core will work with KG1? I love your kernel :-) !

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] navenedrob:
Hello, I have tried to create a kernel using this recovery and somehow I have managed to make the kernel always boot to recovery. Every time I power on the device it goes to recovery, even when I go to charge it will go to recovery instead of show charging battery. I am not sure how to fix in initramfs, any advice?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Vaedryn:
Did the kernel now downloaded and tested again for input to the PiN reboot the phone, too bad. Back to CF
