noob question. how do i use this COMMIT to fix my problem? am i the only one with this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
Just install the thing linked to the first post. It has been updated (I think). If not, it will be eventually . . . otherwise it involves building a new recovery image, and then building the kernel using the initramfs with the new recovery image in it. Instructions are to build CyanogenMod recovery, copying the static recovery to the initramfs, and rebuilding the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Wait for it to be included in a download - according to atinm there may be an updated download.

If not - I'll probably be starting releases of my Daily Driver kernel series tomorrow. (I'm going out most of tonight, so not tonight.)

I just rooted my device via Entropy's stock rom+root package. Now if I want cwm, I can just flash this kernel without losing root, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
The recovery is working great. I have done a successful backup and restore already with it. The only issue I am having is the button mapping is a bit wonky. Volume rocker is up/down and power button selects. The back button doesn't work once I am in the install zip from sd card, and home buttons seems to reboot recovery. All in all I am just glad cwm functionality is working great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Correct

You've got a slightly older release. Grab the latest one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apexi350z:
From what I have read from others, you can get root without going through superoneclick after flashing ClockworkMod Recovery right?

Instructions

Power your device off

Boot into Download-Mode using Volume Down + Power

Hit Volume Up to accept the warning

Start Odin

Choose "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar" as PDA (no repartition)

Connect your Phone

Start flashing

After reboot you can easily root your device using SuperOneClick <------- Do I need this step to get root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
If you just use this kernel, yes.

Someone has a CWM-flashable zip for root somewhere, that's another option.

Another option is a rooted /system - see my Unbrick packages

Another option is to use CWM to install a ROM - nearly all of the ROMs here are pre-rooted.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] othermark:
It's easy:

1. Turn off phone.

2. Put in jig

3. Phone will go into download mode with a green text saying "Erasing download information succeeded" (or something similar -- from memory).

4. Pull battery.

5. Put battery back in.

6. Turn phone back on -- No yellow triangle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apexi350z:
LOL! you listed the hardware version to get rid of the yellow triangle ;)

he's talking about the software version...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phonic:
What exactly is a 'jig'?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It's a MicroUSB plug that has a specific resistor between the ID pin and ground, that tells the phone to enter download mode.

Entering download mode via jig apparently resets the counter. (As opposed to download mode via button combo)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
Hey Entropy, do you know how many ohms are needed for the jig? I made mine for my Captivate, but it doesn't work on the Galaxy S II.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hondarider525:
I flashed the .tar in the OP using odin, and then used superoneclick to root. When i hold volume up and power, I just get the yellow triangle and then the phone boots. Can anyone help me out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Hold Volume up/down + power, when you see the screen with yellow triange, let go of power but keep holding both volume buttons until you see CWM.

Hi,

I've installed CW Recovery kernel through Odin 1.85 but now im having some issues:

1: SuperOneClick gets stuck on waiting for the phone.

2: I can not mount storage through the PC or MAC (was gonna copy rooted ROM To flash via CWM Recovery). I was able to get into cwm and tried to mount usb storage there, no luck. Basically it does not seem to know its connected to a computer at any time. I'm guessing this could be the cause of problem #1

3: When I turn off the phone it reboots instead of shutting down. When I turn it off again, after the fresh reboot, it shuts down.

Possible cause: I've flashed this kernel 2x through odin. Could that mess me up...? Any help would be appreciated, doing this for a friend and im lost=/ I've rooted HTC phones before but not samsung

Edit 2:

Installed a different kernel + rooted system, USB still not getting picked up though, any ideas?

p.s.

(also, in the method guide specified for entering download mode didnt work for me, had to use vol up + vol down while phone is plugged in to enter for At&t galaxy s2)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hkeyman:
Sounds like you may have a cable issue or possible driver issue. Try installing Keis on your pc and let it run the driver update/install.

As far as the One Click root make sure during Step 6 when it stops to follow the steps outlined in the One Click root method.

Once you have a known good cable and are up to date on drivers and have done the 3e recovery no signature check update. Then try running the Kernel install again via odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrgoat:
Is anyone else having battery drain issues with this kernel? I am running this and the stock rom and my battery usage graphs are showing 30% to sometimes 40%+ for Display. My wife has a totally stock phone and hers is <10% with similar settings. I tried reflashing the stock Kernel and my display usage went down to the mid 20% on average. Is there an updated kernel? I have 5.0.2.6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DaUnderSheriff:
Change OP Instructions

Might want to suggest a change to the instructions in the OP. It's BOTH the Volume UP and DOWN buttons to get in to CWM, as described in the above post.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

Things are also a bit different once you get in to CWM. The HOME button acts as the ENTER key instead of the power button and the back button takes you back to the last menu (for those making the change from the Captivate that is).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
You're clearly using your phone more often and at higher brightnesses.

Note that all percentages are relative - if a kernel reduces other usage, Display will go up in percentage even if its power usage is the same.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Perhaps I was not more clear the first time:

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER.

Users need to learn to follow instructions. Do you see any mention of ROM Manager in the instructions for this kernel? Do you see any mention of ROM Manager in the installation instructions for the I777 Cyanogenmod release other than "This method does not work yet"?

No - because ROM Manager is not mentioned in the instructions for CWM and it's listed as not working for CM7.

CONSIDER THAT THERE MIGHT BE A REASON THE DEVELOPER SAID IT ISN'T WORKING.

Thank you in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:
if you just reflash CM7, it should put the proper kernel back on your phone.

or you can extract the kernel from the cm7 .zip and flash that via odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Um... Maybe you should read more carefully. Why would you think it would not work with Cyanogenmod, considering that the instructions for CM7 for our phone explicitly link to this thread?

It's a side effect of running custom kernels.

Flashing a stock kernel will get rid of it, to get rid of it AND run a custom kernel is possible but fairly convoluted, I've got a few posts on how to do it scattered around.

Is there a reason I can't access my sd-ext in CWM? I've formatted my card with SDFormatter and no luck. I was hoping to have that as an option in case I mess something up and can't get access to the internal card for any reason. I'll mention that I had his same issue (with a different sd card) in my Infuse as well.

Also, what's the trick to getting **Go Back** to show up? I've made it appear a few times but honestly I'm not sure how. A couple times I've had to simply hold down Power until the phone rebooted because I didn't have any way of exiting out and rebooting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
I had a similar issue, press the back button on the capacitive keys. It will do the same thing.

Also for sd-ext that has to do with how Samsung references the External Card. I don't believe it calls the External Card SD-ext. It's External-SD in the device so that could be the issue, not sure how to resolve it though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
The back button simple scrolls up the list. For reference, I'm in the mount section of CWM and I couldn't see **Go Back** and any of the capacitive buttons either scrolled up/down or changed from 'mount' to 'unmount' depending on what I was clicking. Really odd...

Hey Entropy I decided to TRY OUT Rom Manager to download the ATT SGS2 BUILD and let rom manager actually install it. It worked like a charm with no issues at all so far.

If I'm not mistaken, Volume Up + Volume Down + Power leads to recovery mode, not download mode.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] atinm:
There are three easy ways to get into download mode:

1. Vol down+Power

2. Vol up+Vol down and then plug in USB.

3. Use USB jig

I tend to use the third when I have the jig nearby, otherwise second. Codeworkx will fix then when he comes around this thread, which he doesn't often.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Those are not correct.

The two that have worked for me are:

VolDn + USB

VolUp + VolDn + USB

I assume jig works due to multiple positive reports but have not tried it.

VolUp + Power does nothing different from simply plugging in the USB cable - just confirmed it on my phone. No download mode, the kernel boots and enters LPM charging mode (e.g. battery icon).

Maybe this is an I9100 difference, but the I777 most definitely can't be entered download mode with VolUp + USB alone. VolDn + USB does seem to work.

re: Flashing

I have had simular experiences with Odin too and many times I was able

to fix the problem simply by unplugging the usb cable from the phone and

rebooting the computer.

After rebooting and waiting for windows to settle down I opened Odin and put

the TAR file into the PDA slot in Odin then I put the phone in download mode

and connected the usb cable to the phone.

The com: rectangle box should light up in yellow, when it does did I clicked

"Start" in Odin and it worked fine.

You can also try to install a newer Samsung Unified USB driver incase

the above method does not work for you.

Here is the download link to the Samsung USB driver:

After you install the Samsung driver be sure to reboot the computer
