You need to read what you agreed to when you signed up to XDA and to ANY of you other mofo's you better check yourselves..... It tells a lot about YOU if feel you need to attack other people on here for not knowing what to do......

Snipe, I gave you that link so you could read and learn about CWM not to fallow it to flash a custom kernel and ROM MY BAD, I should of known better PLEASE STOP using it as a guide....If you don't have all the pieces of the puzzle (flashing ROMS) before you put it together = fail.... All I'm trying to do is get you to understand YOU are the only one that can keep your phone safe..... There is LOTS to understand some people understand it quick some take longer no shame in taking your time I did.... If you would or read the first link I ever gave you "[GUIDE] How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!!" you would of known to not trip the flash counter like you did flashing that .tar kernel all you had to do was "flash the zImage in mobile odin".... Like I told you before I will help you I just need you to have basic knowledge and understanding...... Sorry some of the people on here are str8 PUNKS keep your head uP and don't ever give up......

1. Search YouTube for "How to flash ROMS on i777" Maybe seeing it will help you understand just watch the videos to help you get all the info you can just cross reference EVERYTHING....... Whatever you do DON'T go to Androidroot, zedomax, high on android, or galaxys2root via brandonarev

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eternalty:
I'm thanking the second part of your post but I disagree on your first part. Phalanx doesn't flame he just tells people to search and people take it the wrong way. Also you should always warn people who search on YouTube how to root i777 that they should stay away from any video made my zedomax, high on android, or galaxys2root. Good luck to whoever is attempting to root

And we need to check ourselves? You said the very same things in your post that has been said to him by everyone else already!

Calm down man, everyone has tried to help him but he's rushing into this and we see disaster. Preventable disaster.

Anyway, again, read everything multiple times. However many times it takes for you to understand. Then, and only then, should you attempt anything with your phone. You will be much happier with the results when its done correctly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sniper8752:
All I did was just run what I was told earlier.

1. run odin

2. turn off phone and enter into download mode.

3. attach phone to pc

4. once odin recognizes your phone and was added check pda slot and select the tar kernel i have attached and hit start.

5, reboot phone after and you now have cwm recovery.

After doing these steps, I do have the custom kernel, right? I wanna make sure that I am good before I continue. I go into settings>about phone, and under kernel version, I see 3.0.35-Siyah...

sorry, i did not actually follow the guide on "what is cwm".

do have some questions though. i went to youtube, and saw many people that had our phone, rooting. i noticed that they also had rom manager installed. does it still get the job done that people use it? i would think that if it doesn't work, people wouldn't post videos there about it.

I am beginning to understand now, that to flash a rom, you must install a custom kernel to get cwm to flash the rom, right? when you say it's not an app, you mean you can't just download it, and it works automatically, right? as I understand it, you must install the custom kernel with cwm in it so that when you boot into recovery, it is there as well.

lastly, can I boot a jb rom on an ics device?

Siyah is a custom kernel, u know, the one just flashed.

Go ahead, follow they're YouTube advice... those guys know what they're talking about and are ready to help you when something goes wrong... Oh WAIT!!! No they aren't. Follow the advice given to you in this thread.

Last, but not least, I am done with this thread. I will give you one last bit of help... if you can figure it out. When flashing a ROM, you are installing a new OS. If you have WinXP can you install Win8 over it?... Yes.

Reboot into recovery

Wipe/factory reset! If you think you can get away without wiping from ICS -> JellyBean, you won't be happy camper. Wipe!

Flash ROM

Flash Gapps [here?]

Reboot

edit: would you prefer using nandroid, or titanium backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
What is your question anyway?

This is just a note, you might not need it, as reported, some recommended flashing AOKP ICS before flashing AOKP JB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sniper8752:
which backup system is better?

why is it recommended? someone said that it's like going from vista to 7. what's the worse that can happen? lag, not function properly, or brick?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
I do not know deeply about the two, you have to research and read more about them.

Basically, nandroid is a clone of your good-known system, in case something goes bad, you have the backup.

TB, I've never used it for system backup but only for USER app backup/restore (not even for SYSTEM apps backup/restore)

Note: I don't do it doesn't mean you should not do it. It's just my choice. Just read more about nandroid and TB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RatusNatus:
Do a nandroid and Titanium backups.

TB just for Apps and NEVER restore system files from Titanium.

The Titanium is used to backup your apps so you could rebuild your system faster.

Nandroid you'll just use IF something goes wrong. So flashing a nandroid will give you your OLD system back, with ROM, apps and kernel on it.

You are good to go.

Just Be Sure To Download a ROM from OUR Forum. If not, you'll brick your phone.

Go flash!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AngelsNecropolis:
Everyone starts at the beginning. He's here because he wants to learn so he won't be a beginner anymore. Sniper8752, when looking for a ROM to flash be sure to stick to what you find here in Android Development section. Don't look for roms or files in other sources that aren't specifically for the AT&T USA version of the GS2. The innards and software of different versions can cause issues that will cause you headaches in the future. I've soft bricked my phone several times in this whole learning process as well but thankfully I've been able to read and research enough to get me out of my own predicaments.

Just to give you some other tips that may help. Some of it you may have already learned:

It's advisable, but not always necessary, to do a back up of your current rom before flashing. The backup/restore function is in CWM recovery mode.

I'd also recommend using TB pro to backup all your user apps and their data before each new install. I've set up schedules in mine so that nightly TB will 1) delete backups for uninstalled apps, 2) backup new user apps & new versions, 3) Redo backups for modified data

Each rom you download, from the Android Development section here, will also include a kernel of its own. So each time you download the latest version of AOKP, or another rom, whichever kernel you previously had will be replaced. If you want to continue to use the Siyah kernel you'll have to flash that kernel separately after flashing the new rom package.

Also, it is important to wipe the cache and dalvik cache, using the options within CWM. When changing to a different rom (i.e. From AOKP to SHOStock2) always do a factory wipe in the CWM settings.

Once you have CWM properly installed you'll hopefully not need to use Desktop Odin if all goes well. But keep it, and any Tar or md5 files that you previously flashed

successfully

, in case you cause a soft brick or boot loop etc. You'll want to stick to using the CWM recovery mode with each kernel.

As you have already learned you can flash different kernels rather than the one included with the rom. Just be sure to download a compatible kernel for the rom you have installed and be sure to clean out cache/dalvik cache here as well. Check compatibility by reading the first few posts of the thread for that kernel/rom in the Android Development section.

If, after installing a new rom/kernel, you start to have mass force closures, go into CWM recovery and try using Fix Permissions option. If that doesn't solve the issue do a factory wipe and then reinstall the rom from your saved zip.

Oh and for some reason don't use Rom Manager to flash zips. Apparently it can cause a brick though I'm still trying to determine why it causes a brick. :confused:​

Hope those tips help. If you do have any questions don't hesitate to PM me and if I can help I will. Good luck and happy flashing. :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Some folks like to start at the end and work there way to the beginning.

LIke the fact that this failed thread was dead untill you brought it back :/

And Angels. Your quote at the end about ROM manager, is just funny. "for some reason" "apparently" The reasons are very clear, Its not meant for our phone, it flashes an incompatible kernel/recovery, which causes a soft brick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AngelsNecropolis:
I support zombies. And a few extra pointers can't hurt. :p

And I hadn't read enough to know the details of the reason Rom Manager wouldn't work. No one had specifically said that on the thread. But an incompatible kernel /recovery I do understand. Thank you for clarifying.

While I do agree that there are some people who will never "get it" I don't think he is one of those types. He's just learning as he goes and he was able to successfully root and install AOKP. Usually, If someone doesn't comprehend it means we're not explaining things well enough. I don't have a problem helping others when I can. If he doesn't need the help then he won't read the thread any more. Maybe I'm just more patient and understanding than most since I'm fairly new as well.

Hi all,

I share with you an issue detected since I updated to firm 3.33 needed to install rom Android Revolution HD. Since I did that I experience touch screen fails and overheat if I play games or use apps like Facebook or web browser (chrome or official web browser app). I downgraded to firm 3.32 and installed Elegancia Blitz with stock kernel but issue isn't solved. I think is an issue with 3.33 firm and this installs something that going back to 3.32 don't restore it. I discard fisical issue because if I use whatsapp or another apps the phone works fine.t

What do you think? Can someone help me?

I attempted to flash my Sprint Galaxy S2 with Cyanogenmod9. I unfortunately didn't see that the Galaxy S2 on the CM website is NOT the sprint GS2.

It got as far as the modem in odin before it stopped and just hung there. I left it for 45 minutes. It never continued. So I had to unplug my phone.

Now my phone thinks it's a GT-i9100.

I can still get into download mode but Odin doesn't see my phone anymore.

I can get into CWM. I can't get it to mount internal storage

Please tell me there is something I can do. I know I'm a moron for flashing wrong phones rom.

Thanks for the response, but it appears I'm hosed. ClockworkMod doesn't appear to see my sdcard. When I attempt 'advanced' recovery, it says

could not find directy
no files available

and adb doesn't see my phone. I completely removed Keis and all drivers hoping that it would reinstall drivers when I plugged the phone in. No such luck.

adb devices

lists nothing.

I can't believe I fried my phone in less than a day of owning it. I've been swapping roms for years. This is such a stupid mistake. Sadly, no where on the main CyanogenMod site did I see it specify anything about GS2 variants. Still, I should have read more before I just started throwing Odin around like there wasn't any risk.

I saw mention somewhere of Samsung repair center being able to repair this. Does anyone know how much that would cost out of warranty?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You try a different card? It won't boot to system at all right? Try a different cable? When you tried adb how long did you wait to try and connect? It can take a few minutes for adb to pick up the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarkharlequin:
I unfortunately do not have a different card anymore. I tried multiple cables, but the main one I was using is the one I've used to flash my Epic4G for a while now, so it always works. But yes, I used 4 cables with no luck. It won't boot into system. I may have been impatient with adb, so after you posted this I went back and waited longer. Tried to reboot and make sure nothing else was running. adb will see my epic4g with no trouble, but won't see the touch at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Damn. That sucks. Not much we can do if you can't access the sdcard, adb or Odin. Can you mount the internal usb from cwm and see it in the computer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarkharlequin:
nope. "Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory) Error mounting /emmc!"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarkharlequin:
Okay, another question then. There's a repair store in my area with jtag equipment and professionals to use them that say they are confident they can restore the phone. The thing is, if they are successful it'll cost anywhere between $99-170, and if they fail, it will cost about $106.

Or, I can just buy a used E4gT off of Swappa for $200.

Any of you that have experience with phone repair and jtag equipment recommend a direction to go in?
