Can you confirm the partitions to be flashed for first ROM, I am having some trouble with

userdata >> user-data

system >> system
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robertogl:
If you want you can do a nandroid backup and upload it, so we can try the Rom, only if you have time and if you want obviously :)

How to install as second rom:

(0.5 Make sure you have siyah kernel installed)

1. Flash system.img to hiddenfs with heimdall.

2a. Run simg2img to turn userdata.img which is 60~mb to userdata.img which is 2gb. (requires linux)

2b. Rename userdata.img (which is 2gb) to data.img

3. In siyah go to recovery and go to second rom settings.

4. choose wipe second rom data/cache.

5. Transfer data.img to phone memory\.secondrom\ folder.

6. when booting choose second system. It should boot just fine for 1 time.

For following boots you must always re-transfer data.img. Or thats how i think it is.

I'll try to get a nandroid tomorrow in school if goo.im is up. Time 05:00 gmt- 09:00 gmt. (I study business IT and i have my laptop with me)

Edit: takes longer to get nandroid. I cant find my cable :(

Thanks a lot ;)

This is the nandroid zipped. I used latest siyah to make it. Its seems oddly small, only 16 mb when decompressed. I restored it to second rom and it booted, so test it yourself.

This is the file of the new type of backup, it doesn't contain all the system, we need the folder blobs, if you want :)

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] unfugor:
most likely you made this with cwm 6 and it is just one state, if you want us to restore this to our phones we would also need the blobs folder in your cam directory, but i am not sure if this includes other data you would not want to post on a puplic forum, so the best way of sharing this would be to backup your cam folder, delete it and start with a clean folder, do the backup and zip the whole cwm folder and share that with us.

another possibility would be using an older version of cwm but i think thats not possible with the s2 since the kernel and the cwm are on the same partition
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robertogl:
In the last cwm there is the possibility to choose what type of backup we want, the new or the older, if I remember right :)

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] julle131:
You unzip it to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/randomname/*here*

I'all make new backup with older siyah ASAP.

Edit: There isn`t propably anything extremely secret in the blobs folder. I'll rather send it. It doesn't contain efs does it? Hopefully not.

Siyah didn't include this option when backing up second system.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] robertogl:
What siyah do you have? Because maybe it is in siyah 4.1.1, but I don't know for sure :)

And no, efs folder isn't in the backup ;)

So I've got an I-777. If I attempt to flash this and I going to brick the crap out of my phone??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] julle131:
Is there a port of siyah kernel on I-777? This won't work without it. If there is you could try installing this and then using hellraiser(was it with that name?).

Edit: I just realized that this nandroid restores kernel too. Maybe its better that you do not try this.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dars2:
Use siyah kernel 3.5.1 and flash b2g as second ROM :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] VanillaCracker:
Damn. I was really hoping it wouldn't matter. There is a siyah kernel for I-777.......I'm pretty sure it should work. Just gonna be flashing to experiment though, I don't even need to hellraise (for home and me u button), I just wanna see what it's like then restore in CWM anyway. Just not sure it'll even boot up,.cus idk how similar it is to regular roms. Anyway I'll wait for someone who has a better idea, or I'll just skip it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] julle131:
Maybe you can try. Install a kernel with CWM recovery 6 and restore the nandroid I uploaded. After the restore install siyah kernel via zip. That way you only use i9100 kernel after the restore, which you immediately replace with I777 siyah kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] VanillaCracker:
Yeah I'm gonna do it eventually. I don't see why it wouldn't work since other i9100 roms work on my phone without hellraising

Can I share your work on other forum? Obviously posting original links and credits.

I need some help, sorry for noob question, but I need to know exacly how to do for a clean installation, I'm already running the latest Siyah kernel (4.1.4) I haven't a folder named secondrom in /sd, I think it will be created when I clone the primary rom as second, right?

Well, now I have a rom running on my device, it's 4.0.4, now what have I to do? If I flash something with Odin, I think it will wipe everything, or not?

Can you explain step by step what have I to do? I'm a bit noob.

EDIT: well, maybe I've understand, but I have another question, how can I to upgrade to newest build? There are two files, userdata.img and system.img, have I to put into respective folders and overwrite what there is inside?

You flash system img to HIDDEN partition via heimdall and after you do a 2nd ROM wipe you replace the userdata.img

Instructions told to flash as pda with odin, it's what I did, in download mode, obviously, how can I flash to HIDDEN partition?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] julle131:
Do you want install this as first rom? Flash system.img to system and userdata.IMG to data partition in Heimadall. If you want install this as second ROM, flash system.IMG through heimdall to hiddenfs. The run userdata.Img throught simg2img In Linux environment. Then wipe second ROM data in recovery and after that rename the 2gb userdata. IMG to data.img and transfer the data.IMG to internal sd, to folder .secondrom.

Use heimdall to flash this. It's much easier.

userdata.IMG needs to be run through simg2img and renamed to data.IMG. then you can transfer it to sdcard.

As stated above, use heimdall.

There should be few answers for you :)

Well, I think it's difficult to flash something with no explicative specific guide, I though to write a noob-proof guide, but I think to give up until someone take the time to write something clean and step by step, I'm sorry, I was very excited to try B2G, but not in these conditions.

To flash via heimdall you must first download your current pit from the device and then use the 2nd tab to flash the image INCLUDED in the tar. Seriously there are a few heimdall flashing tutorials around, try searching....

I've searched, but, seriously, I've lost patience, everytimes I discover I need something more, the first guide told about three steps, flash via odin, put the files and reboot.

I've done as guide said, but I've got this error: ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12, anyway, in .secondrom there are two files, data and cache, before there wasn't, do it mean I've done it?

What is simg2img? I'm using W7 64
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] julle131:
That error indicates that you didn't install/patch the driver for heimdall. There should be exe for it in somewhere in heimdall install directory. simg2img is an ext4 tool. It can't be run on Windows enviroment. That means that you must either install linux (Ubuntu LiveCD/LiveUSB or WUBI) or let someone else with linux do the conversion. it makes the ~60MB userdata to 2gb data file, which siyah kernel uses.

Download this http://andwise.net/?attachment_id=406 and extract it. When you get file called simg2img, move it to desktop. Then make sure it has permission to execute. Open setting for the file and search for permission tab. Make sure executable is ticked, and it has all permissions. Then click OK. Then open command line and CD to desktop. Also put userdata.IMG to desktop. Now just input this "./simg2img user data.IMG data.img" now it should create data.IMG which you then move to your phone to .secondro. folder. In Windows flash system.IMG to hiddenfs and the boot to second system.

I'm trying to flash this ROM as my second rom, but all the time (I downloaded the files 3 times now), when heindall will finish the falsh of the system.img I got the message: "ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence! HIDDEN upload failed!"

What I'm doing wrong?

The problem was the heindall version. I was trying to flash with latest version (1.3.2) but now looking at heindall site they say to use version 1.3.1 because 1.3.2 lose compatibility with several version. using 1.3.1 worked well

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

I could flash ok now. generated the data.img using the simg2img onlinux and the option to boot on second rom is displayed. But when booting to second rom all I can see is a black screen and the boot never finish

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] julle131:
If you have file called simg2img with no extension, you have extracted it right. You can't try to make sure terminal is pointed to right folder by using command "ls". If simg2img and userdata.IMG are both there, terminal is in right directory.

check that the file is really 2gb. Also, are you sure you are moving it to right location? In example make sure you are moving it to phone memory and not external SD. You can also try to reboot phone to recovery and mount phone from there. Last try is to move it to USB stick or HDD if Ubuntu sees your PCs HDD.
