Hy there codeworks. Have to say that your job is just wonderful and want to thank you for that. One question I have for you: is your latest kernel working only with stock 2.3.4 roms? Or also will work with custom roms? TIA ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
Should work on every 2.3.4 ROM except CyanogenMod.

As far as i know it works on 2.3.3 ROMs too.

Simply check it out and report back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LeWildDroid:
OK will check with my Villain Rom and will report ;) Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LeWildDroid:
So far so good. At least wifi is working good :) Will come tomorrow for more impressions.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] aniteshj:
If I install this kernel do I lose my root?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LeWildDroid:
Yes. But if you rom is originally rooted (eg: VillainRom), than will not lose the root ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LeWildDroid:
Half a day now and a night :D with this kernel and everything seems to be ok ;) Nice work.

Anyone try to power off through recovery while charging? On mine it reboots into recovery.

I remember we had this same problem with the HTC G2 with early versions of cwm recovery. I think plugging power in activates recovery as a failsafe?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tangiers:
Codeworx, why would I still have this version of cwm recovery even after flashing CyanogenMod nightly with its own kernel and even after flashing the 4.0.1.5 version from within Rom Manager? Your cwm recovery seems to stay behind as the "real" recovery.

I have even flashed the update.zip ROM Manager creates through your cwm recovery and after flashing, yours still remains? And seems to be the reason why the phone reboots when the charger is plugged in?

I'd love to understand... I thought I understood cwm with my Desire Z/htc g2 but this has me stumped!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] apache86:
Im having similar problem to yours. its not realy a problem (i have no crashes) but no matter which rom or kernel i flash the recovery (hope im using the right terms) always stays the same unless i manually flash to a newer one. as i said, i dont see it as a real problem but still wonders why does it happen. obviously i always wish to have the newer recovery version available (:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tangiers:
I see that Codeworx answered a question in the Cyanogenmod Q&A and described the CWM from rom manager as a fake recovery and confirmed that rom manager does not in fact change anything on the phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
Samsung Phones don't use their recovery partition for having a real recovery kernel.

Samsung is using a combined kernel on boot partition what means, that flashing a new kernel also changes the recovery.

1. This Kernel is for use with Stock Roms.

2. CyanogenMod comes with it's own Kernel.

3. ROMManager does a fake flash.

What's a fake flash?

reboot into recovery

autoapply update.zip from rommanager

-> replace recovery binary on ramdisk with cwm

-> kill the running recovery

-> start the cwm recovery

this doesn't do permanent modifications because your ramdisk will go away if you power off or reboot your phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tangiers:
Thanks codeworx for confirming that. I can now give up on trying to get ROM Manager to flash cwm properly!

4.0.1.4 works perfect under litening 4.0. wifi works fine too
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BenjaminM:
Hi everyone,

I flashed CWM 4.0.1.4 with odin3 v.185 and try to install a zip. However since I couldn't access the SD card to apply the zip and didn't copy the zip in the USB storage (flash memory) I decided to roll back and flash back the original stock ROM KE4 (found here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278).

After flashing the original stock ROM, the phone keeps on looping with the Samsung splash screen and never fully boots. I've tried to flash couple of times and strangely enough, after each stock ROM flash, I can see CWM doing some tasks extract files and rebooting the phone (only once after flashing)...

Shouldn't flashing the original ROM totally remove CWM? Also, if I also press Volume UP+Home+Power button, I get a simplified CWM in blue!

Anyone experiencing the same problem? Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
try doing a factory reset on boot problems.

the blue recovery is the stock 3e one and has nothing to do with cwm.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BenjaminM:
Thanks a lot, this did the trick and I managed to install the custom ROM.

Thanks again for your help.

Ok. Signature verification always fails when rebooting via ROM Manager.

I can flash the CM7 Nightlies and GApps if I disable verification myself.

Kind of defeats the object of using ROM Manager. Is there a way to have verification always toggled to off?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coolK3N:
If flashing this will unroot the device, does the device require to be rooted beforehand?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
This should run on KG3 too.

If your system is already rooted, then this will not unroot your device.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JGS2:
Can I ask something that is confusing me please.

From what I read emmc is the internal memory and sd card is the actual sd card.

When in the cwm recovery mode, in the format options though the emmc seems to refer to the actual sd card (external), and formatting sd card refers to internal memory.

Are they wrongly labelled or have I misunderstood something.

edit: just came across this

Why is it like that? I'm confused.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] codeworkx:
Because on CyanogenMod the internal card is /sdcard and the external is /emmc.

CWM uses only one card anyway and that's the internal.

There's no need to use both.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ty_z:
Hi, my SGS2 is rooted and the kernel is KDD and the rom is madmack 1.4v

this rom doesnt have cwm recovery it has the stock recovery.

Long story short, I want to flash this kernel so I could have the cwm recovery.

My questions are:

1) If I flash this kernel will it remove the root?

2) How can I know if this kernel is compitable with my rom?

3) After I flash this kernel will I be able to use rom manager?

Im sorry if my questions are nooby...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] timberwolf60:
Good question, I am also doult on this.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ogdobber:
1) probably not, but it doesn't matter because you have recovery that you can flash superuser (root)

2) check in about phone, android version. the kernel needs to match 2.3.4-2.3.4

3)sort of, not all features work (don't flash clockworkmod recovery from app)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ty_z:

I am currently running the app but there is a bit of a delay from turning the screen on to it kicking in which is a bit annoying

I am looking into doing it myself but have never built a kernel and have limited experience of linux and am worried about making a complete mess of it and screwing my phone up.

I was previously using Ninphetamine-2.1.3 kernel and that had it built in and worked a treat but obviously i can't use that with cyanogenmod.

Bluetooth in CM7 not working - CWM Confusion ????

I posted this in the Q&A thread for CM7 but I'm still just a bit confused.

Ok for anyone that this may seem obvious please forgive me:

I am one of the ones that have the issue both with the Kang'd version and the CM7.1 - if I try to turn on Bluetooth it will not turn on ... either from the Pulldown shortcut or by going directly to the Settings Menu

I tried reflashing and still the same!

I wonder if this could be a cause?I flashed CM7 by going to "Recovery" - when I got there it is orange and says ClockworkMod Recovery ver 4.0.1.5

(I had been using a Batista Rom that has an icon in the Apps for CWM). I have used this ClockworkMod Recovery for months now and flashed many many ROMs.

Is this Recovery different than the recovery that you might flash via ROMManager or by going to this Clockwork thread and "flashing" the latest version ?

Is this possibly the cause of my Bluetooth not turning on? Otherwise the CM7 worked wonderfully during the 24 hrs or so that it was installed!

Oh yeah, and clockworkmod wasn't working. I'd do volume up + home + power and it would just turn the phone on.

So I tried factory reset through the options (not through clockworkmod because its not opening) and now my phone just keeps bootlooping. What the ****?

Hello all,

I would like to report an issue I had yesterday, with the hope it might help CWM devs:

When performing a backup with not enough space left on internal memory, the backup fails then on the following reboot (CM7 nightly 84), there's a popup message about /data having some kind of problem, that I cannot read entirely because juste about all apps keep FC on loop (Phone, Contacts, ADWLauncher ... take your pick). I had to wipe an reinstall #84 to get a working phone.

For info: I've been using 5.0.2.6 on CM7 nightlies for some weeks now and everything was fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoneMo:
where did you get 5.0.2.6 for SGSII when in this thread is only 5.0.2.3 version ??

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

so it means i can flash manually a CM7 nightly on for example Androidmeda DNR 3.1 or SpeedMod K2-6 kernel and it will work....just rom manager will not work ????
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Xerovius:
5.0.2.6 comes with the latest nightlies I think
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoneMo:
so the recovery is in the boot.bin included in nightly cwm .zip ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 4qu4rius:
Don't know about that. I'm "just" a user, as they say around here.

Just checked, and yes, recovery version is 5.0.2.6. Wich ROM flash it comes from is unclear for me. I remember flashing an awfull lot of Samsung ROMs with CF's version, then changing to CWM for Cyanogen (nightly #39 or close to that), but that's about it.

Problem flashing

Hey guys, my friend tries to root his SGS2 using ClockworkMod, but according to what he said, his progress bar in flashing the clockworkMod using Odin is stopped..he waited for like 30 minutes or so, the bar ain't moving at all, so he unplug the phone, close odin, changing the port of his USB, restart odin, and reflash it. This time, he got it working to flash it. However, he claimed that he cannot pass the black screen of SGS2 to go to splash screen. I tried asking him to go to recovery mode, wiping data/factory reset, cache, and even asking to change the firmware, but he cannot do any of those, as he always got Error in mounting the SDcard.
