Just flash any older ROM and you should be good to go...

But I dont know If I am right...I haven't tried flashing Siyah and going over...

What I did was: 1) Flash DK kernel to test if it was working...

2) Since got Bluetooth problems and Camera Problems, just went to the DK Recovery and restored my older nandroid backup...

But Note here: I never flashed the .pit file of 4.0.4 or anything...So that's why I could restore my nandroid backup without any problems...

I dont guarantee what will happen with any method... If you are afraid, just do some mroe research in the forums regarding this and then follow any method you feel is safe :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I appreciate your help but please dont start hate speech...everyone has the right to say what they feel... :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Just dont do a factory reset or CWM restore via CWM Recovery, or you could well find yourself with an expensive brick.

Siyah will work, but not problem free, as Gokhan has not had the 4.0.4 sources yet in order to sort out the issues (camera/video/bluetooth)

Please read my previous post
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Ok guys, its 2 am here and I am sleepy...Will be going to sleep now...

Cya tomorrow guys...I'll see what I can do tomorrow...

If I am going to start developing the ROM, you will have to bare with me...I am a noob myself in ROM development, and will be learning and developing side by side :)

@EVERYONE: PLEASE READ THE FORUMS BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING RELATED TO 4.0.4...HOPING NO MORE BRICKS NOW... :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mirko ddd:
ooh i know that verb, and it s a nice one :D ! but is inappropriate in this case. U released a rom, and sounds like a bricklayer man say that has finalized a house but is fall down when people is in.

"rome wasn t built in a day" it s appropriated when people ask: hey rom is ready? and u can say: "rom is not reay yet, Rome wasn t built in a day" :D

and i m not an hater, i just have a head and think, and for my thinking sell a falling house is dangerous.

That s all.

Then all of u can think i am a hater, so please point me to the things u feel is not appropriated or purposely evilish, i will shut up in case.

People who knows a lil bit about and have a head to think can only say thank, stop.

Consider this not as a bad thing, but as a good point to start over.

Thanks GadgetCheck for the LQ5 release hope you don't get offended by the ignorants that bricked their phone and put the blame on you. Keep on the good work! :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jebuchanan:
I find this most amusing.

Since I couldn't find the link to DL initially I read every post concerning CR7. Including the warnings found in every other thread concerning 4.04.

I am impressed so many would blindly install this without first confirming it to be stable and capable if being run the way they wish to use it on their own phone.

Since I cannot use this as I wish to, I am content to remain with CR6 until such time as CR7 is fully functional and stable w/ a JKAY framework and able to use different kernels, and mods as desired (eg phone noise reduction off - a requirement on this phone).

To find so many asking the same questions over and over simply means they are too ignorant to be bothered to do any reading of information found on these boards.

I have little sympathy for them unfortunately.

I am looking forward to CR7 with JKay and a rooted ROM fully functional (camera, wifi and all) on our phones (with any kernel).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OzBoy1:
Wow on one hand it's nice to see this ROM has finally made it but it has the potential to brick your phone! All those people who said to wait as this will be best the custom rom out there once it is released must be feeling a little embarrassed.

Shame that the team didn't wait another day or two and release something worthy of their reputation. Perhaps this is the new CheckRom.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hospital349:
Hey guys,

Just thought that I'd give everybody a step-by-step routine as to how I was able to safely secure my device after the recent v7 mishap.

After Flashing v7, I read this thread and panic'd, slightly. I took a deep breath and began reading numerous threads about the Emmc Brick Bug, etc. Thereafter, I took cautious steps to resolve the matter.

Here goes:

Have the following ready to flash:

I9100UHLPS (4.0.3)

N.E.A.K. 2.0.6x Sammy

We will be flashing with:

Odin 1.85

Open up your device and remove your Micro SD card (just in case you wipe the wrong storage - internal and external options are sometimes the wrong way when selecting).

Reboot into download mode by holding down the

power + volume down + center home button

on your device.

Connect your Phone to your PC and open up Odin.

Flash N.E.A.K-2.0.6x-SAMMY by allocating the NEAK tar file to PDA and Click: START.

Now let your device boot-up and then enter into recovery mode as usual -

power + volume up + center home button

.

Complete the following methods: (FULL FORMAT & NEW FLASH)

Mounts and Storage > format /sdcard (or) format /emmc - depending on which is your internal storage. (One option will format your phones storage.)

This will completely wipe your Internal Storage (you are still rooted).

Go back into Odin and allocate the Sammy Rom that you have downloaded to PDA and click: START.

When the Rom has finished flashing, allow your device to boot up. Once completed, go back into download mode. Flash N.E.A.K-2.0.6x-SAMMY tar again using PDA and click: START.

Allow your phone to completely boot-up and then enter recovery once more.

Select: Restore factory settings AND Mounts and Storage > Format System.

Now you can flash a custom Rom of your choice followed by a Kernel of your choice. (You can transfer them to your device via Recovery. Mounts and Storage > Mount Internal USB Storage).

Wipe Cache Partition.

Wipe Dalvik Cache.

Fix Permissions.

Reboot.

All is better in the world. I hope this helps. I know it's an inconvenience but at least you now know your device is safer than it was before. :)

@Mirko ddd

i'm with you man, my eyes are not blinded, i've already catched the handling of mister Leo and GC.

this rom is beeing developed by mister Dharam_Maniar and him only, the only thing that leo and GC helped on a V7 was clearing some doubts to this new DEV, i'm almost sure that they havn't done jack sh*t on a new checkrom version to S2.

Dharam_Maniar please dont think that we are all hiting on you, this is not your fault, this is the main DEV's fault, they filled us up with lies for this new release that they didvn't even might righten a code line at all, you are doing your best and i apreciate that.

about the briks, well, to be honest i don't think its the DEV's nor Samsung fault, as soon as i saw the V7 post i knew that i shouldn't flash a diferent kernel, and i'm a noob on these things, so, on thing is clear, or the guys that have the phones briked are more noobs than me, or else they are just stupid and tried they're luck flashing other kernel.

i'm looking forward to flash a new checkrom on my S2, but for sure wont be a first version, and this because i think that i'm not capable of handle such a fresh release, first version releases are meant to PRO's, so they can fetch bugs and stuff like that.

Dharam_Maniar please, be clear that we are mad at the main DEV's because of they're lies, and for donations to the S3 that already have a 2nd version of checkrom, lol.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] themohd:
Hey guyz,

will my phone brick if I install the rom as a second rom alongside with siyah kernel ???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jebuchanan:
If you read anything about 4.04, you would have your answer.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] themohd:
I've read, now I understand everything . . .

I guess it would be safe to flash as a second rom cuz the kernel won't change

but I'll wait for the new siyah release

thats what everyone should do

:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] _Sofos_:
Honestly people.. You've waited for so long and you can't wait for a couple of days till the kernel sources are out?

Devs decided to release it, if you don't like it, don't flash it. If you still want this rom just wait a few days more for a better release.

Do Not risk it, it's that simple.

Don't ask what else can be done.

Either flash it and bare with the fact that you won't have cwm/mods/jKay etc for a few days or just stay put till the risk is gone.

And for gods sake it's a developers forum, READ the faq/op and at least the last 9-10 pages of the thread before flashing something, it will take you like 10mins and will save you from alot of trouble.

@themohd No mate, it is NOT safe to flash it as a second rom. Trying to restore/factory reset through cwm might brick your device as well.

" And remember, when nothing goes right.. go left.. "
[Galaxy S II Android Development] themohd:
lol , that's one hell of a saying :cool:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
So let me check one thing:

All kernels released until now are based on 4.0.3 right?

So this rom relies on 4.0.4 kernel... flashing a earlier kernel will lead to hard bricks right?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Mirko ddd:
Great point of view buddy. Agree in every word.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] NoOneCanHelpMe:
One thing I dont get is why there is still no message on page 1 with HUGE red letters " Do Not do this and that or your phone will be bricked"....:thumbdown:

if there was a posibility even 1 person to brick their phone I would not upload the new ROM. I respected you guys for giving us REVO v6 etc., but what you did today is NoT Cool!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Please read my previous post
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
wow!, thought that it would be based on official sammy not some half ass dodgy crap that bricked phones left right and centre. Id advise people that if they wanna flash do it dual boot whith siyah for now, or dont lol better to have a phone than a paperweight!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
So flashing Siyah thru Odin afterwards makes this rom safe? :rolleyes:

Edit:

Nevermind... V7 isn't worth the risk yet!

Shame on you guys for making such a stupid move and create V7 from a leak!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hoseth0711:
Seriously guys, please calm down! There are no reasons to panic like that... If you wanna try the ROM, just flash it and if you find out that its not you, then just flash siyah through odin and you´ll be fine. Otherwise just wait a few days and you probably will be able to flash a 4.0.4 based kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rzat:
Sooo few months of moaning "where is v7...we dont need jkay...release beta" and so on. And when working ROM is out, instead of test it properly some folks already do wipes, custom kernels, brick their phones and accuse checkrom team for releasing buggy rom??? Seriously gents go back to kies updates
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gorjess:
because most user always wanted to try something new, but somehow they failed to understand the general risk of flashing any custom rom..

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goku80:
what they should of done from the start..release a 4.0.3 stable release rom and then add the lidroid tweaks....all it would of took a few days to cook the whole thing up and you guys would of been enjoying v7 by now....but this release seems just to shut few people up...sad thing is though the standards of checkrom has fallen big style from reading here..

there is one member on xda who has summed up the whole issue of this situation and that member's name is called uppon2.. just search the thread here and you guys will see what i am talking about...so in general what we have here is a poor excuse of a release and still a stinking communication by the main guys....

my advice..wait till the issues are resolved and if they come back with an update then make sure it is fine to flash as you guys do not want to be having any issues.

he could not have said it any better have a read here
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Areg8_6:
+1

Yeah uppon2 was 100% right.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goku80:
well he hit the nail on the coffin with that post..but anyway this team checkrom team back in the GB days they were with Hyperdroid the best guys around....At least with the Hyperdroid team they have mentioned what is happening with regarding their projects and you do not hear any moans in that thread...here is different cause they kept stringing people all along and only now after pressure they caved in and by the sounds of it not so good by the teams standards...my point was say you are stopping development and concentrating on other issues and this would of been all done..

anyways no need for me hogging this thread all i will say is guys either be patient and let the guys iron out the issues with the rom or just move along..whatever we think of them now really does not matter what is done is done..

EDIT: One last thing and this is important.. no matter what you guys think of other people please do not troll the thread and respect no matter what you, me or anyone else thinks...respect is what counts amongst us all
[Galaxy S II Android Development] c0x91:
What have I to do?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yahyoh:
flash any safe kernel then do what ever u want
[Galaxy S II Android Development] joshuab227:
Flash siyah 3.3.2 or any other known safe kernel using PC ODIN .

Then you can restore your nandroid backup of your previous rom.

Ok for now I keep Checkrom becouse is very fast then will see what to do
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Paradoxxx:
Well, even if I've nothing to do here cause I *Hate* Samsung ROMs, I've found everything that was going here funny. I'll, expose my point of view, without a biased point of view. But, with enough of general knowledge on ROMs whichever AOSP Or Samsung base, and development.

I've read the last few days (weeks?) That some crap was just getting out from here, with promises, promised updates, that were not coming, with lies all around.

Err, the S3 releases, actually proved the point of uppon2. That guy is 100% right. Sadly.

I respect checkRom and all the team behind, whoever they are. Developing does take time, I personally know it.

But, let's get serious for two seconds.

What the **** did you do there?

Didn't you learned from GM when he released (3.1.6? ) the brickbug kernel? When he found out, he instantaneously removed the links. Which should have been done here.

And GadgetCheck's attitude, Wolol, seriously? Of course not it is not a master piece. Or maybe a masterpieceof**** yeah. That kind of attitude with so much arrogance... Bwah. Now, let's go on with most important, or relevant posts here.

Don't blame *HIM*. Leaders told him to release, he did so. He probably joined the team lately, and the ones who moved to S3 don't care about S2 anymore. But still, should remote links. Yeah, sure missing features, etc. But as he said, just a base.

Bad idea. Releasing something which actually Brick devices should, must, lead to instant link removal. What ever it is. What Sammobile should have done actually.

Okay, you're not playing with us, well, with checkRom users. But the past developers did. By telling their fans fakes releases dates, false arguments on delayed releases, and so on. I don't know when you joined this team, so I can't put a blame on you.

This is 100% true. Actually I went to this thread today to give CheckROM a go. Trying to not die stupid by wrong ideas on something I might have not tested. But all I know, I then I won't never do.

Blame CheckROM? Hell no. The ROM seemed good. Blame old developers that mirrored fakes releases dates, fake excuses, **** yeah.

I might get flamed for what I've wrote here, but heh, I don't really care.

Have fun, and, Cheers!:cool:

Hey one thing here, I haven't worked on the ROM yet mate...it was their hard work only :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ApriliaM3:
...and people wonder why I was so adamant that we needed an answer from the Devs rather than just fan-boy talk from users... This is the reason.

I certainly didn't want to be causing fights in the thread but I felt it was critical to have this issue explained and clarified because it was inevitable that there would be bricks, followed closely by a huge mess, which we now have.

Credits to Dharam_Maniar above, for calmly and sensibly trying to fix the issue now but I think the horse has already bolted.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] LeoMar75:
So let me see..

Its was clearely given that dont flash any kernel to the rom.

Its a leaked 4.0.4 firmware, no source no kernel.

Flashing the rom wont brick your phone (wipe/no wipe.)

Now tell me wats the problem.

Dharam was working on the kernel (but will take his own time for it)

And all the problems you are causing your self is planely due the ignorance on your part by not reading the changelog. Which probaly is not my/teams fault.

I guess its better to leave this thread shut till probably some of you get your manners firs.

Running well apart from a tiny glitch on ICS theme in that it always shows silent mode.. it's no big issue, it's just there ;)

I understand that you are working on newer version of the ICS theme so the above is probably in hand anyway.

Every time I install this ROM, I do a full wipe inc data and dalvic etc so I don't see most of the problems that others are mentioning. Would it be worth other giving this a try if possible and try to save a few posts in the thread.

My next test is going to be on another kernel. Could someone suggest one they have tried with both this ROM and Theme, or should we just go with "if it aint broke, don't fix it"

Thanks for all your work, it's a nice stable ROM with superb support and update system.

Did you restore your contacts using titanium or something? I did the same. It seems that it may create a synchronization issue causing the the process android.process.acore to force close.

If that's the case you'll need to wipe contact data and google services framework data. Make sure you have disabled synchronisation first. Mind you. That will wipe all your contacts. Make sure you've got a backup.

---------- Post added at 03:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

I was having the EXACT same problem in the previous version of the ROM, that's why I flashed a new one. The best thing would be to reflash your current ROM or even better would be to flash this new version of the ROM. I am assuming that you are using the previous version.
