[Galaxy S II Android Development] THE RED BLUR:
Red blur guide to flashing siyah for ljs and flashing a clean rom

GUIDES AND TOOLS TO INSTALL CLEAN ROM AND KERNEL

These are my tools I use when flashing to different kernels and Roms. You don't need to do a full format of the internal sd like I did on top as that is OT.

NO DUEL BOOT SUPPORT AVAILABLE FOR LSJ, LS8 and LSD SO CANT BE INSTALLED AS OF YET AS 2ND ROM DUE TO NEW PRE LOAD FOLDER TAKING SPACE OUT OF DUEL BOOT SPACE (WILL BE FIXED WHEN SOURCES ARE OUT AND GM AND DM HAVE TIME TO IMPLEMENT)

Plus the best advice I can give to you all on using kernels .......

ALWAYS READ CHANGELOGS OF KERNELS BEFORE FLASHING THEM AND TEST ON DEFAULT PROFILE AND SETTINGS FIRST BEFORE TWEAKING :p:D;):thumbup:

METHODS TO INSTALL SIYAH 6b.04 ON NEATROM LSJ

There are 3 ways to flash siyah 6.0b4 on our stock roms.

As you may be aware getting your siyah is not as straight forward as it should be due to some issues in OLD philz kernel recovery that comes by default with Rom. Remember the rom was made back in November after all and we have had plenty of updates to kernels since;)

A) Easiest and best method update to latest version of Philz kernel version 3.99 and use their recovery to flash onto Siyah .

B) Use odin and flash tar file both attached below. But through this method you will get yellow triangle. Do use triangle away app by chainfires.

C) And last method easier then odin method is to flash tar file through mobile odin and that's how I'm doing it. No yellow triangle through this method.

.

Here is the guide broken down for using CWM zip

All the tools and zips used are attached below:)

Then the steps are :

1 .latest Dorimanx kernel and reboot into that recovery

2. Flash siyah kernal version 6.0b4

Reboot into that recovery

3. Clear cache, dalvik and fix permission's

Optionally you can use kernel clean script should you want instead of dalvik and cache wipe and then do the fix permissions.

Once on Siyah or Dorimanx or Latest you don't have to go through any of these tasks again just a simple flash via cwm zip will be fine here on out.
