[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
You don't need ROM manager. Stay away from it.

- Reboot to CWM recovery

- wipe cach data /factory reset

- wipe dalvik cache

- format /system (under mount and storage)

- flash CM9

- flash gapps

- reboot phone

The latest CM10 is stable already, but I'll advise you to use CM9 for sometime before trying CM10. I personally, have been running jellybean since over 1 month already.

Good luck

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickson23:
Ok I decided to install CM9..

Do I need to backup current Stock Rom? How to do it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
there are two ways:

1. Backup ROM via CWM recovery

- boot to CWM recovery

- Backup and restore

- Backup ROM to internal or external SD

2. Backup ROM via CWM manager (easier method)

CWM manager app is already bundled with Siyah kernel

- Open your app drawer

- run CWM manager, Grant it superuser permission

- Backup ROM, select your desired storage

-input the backup name of your choice.

The phone will reboot, and the backup will be done

K den finally from where do I Download CM9.

Official page or xda forums?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickson23:
WTF !

I entered Recovery mode(volume up+power+home).

There is no option like Backup nor advaned settings.I tried navigating using volume keys.

Do I have to install any app before I can enter recovery mode?

Looks like you havent got cwm. Nothing to worry about :)

Follow the noob-proof instruction on the first post of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20841817 and you should be running CM9 in no time.

CWM recovery is right?

Then why are these links.

I have rooted 2 days back. Still stuck because i dont know how to proceed.

I want to install CM9,but when i enter recovery Mode (volume up+power+home button) I dont get options to Backup, install from sd card.

How do i proceed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
first and foremost, please do some research regarding Rooting/cwm recovery/ dwnld mode/flashing thro ODIN etc on ur own rather than depending on Advices from people.

since to much advice on the same will lead ur mind to confused state for sure and will always put u into trouble.

if u have successfully rooted ur device, then if u open ur app drawer u will see the 'Superuser' or the 'SuperSu' app installed for sure.

After that u can install a Custom Kernel like Siyah by dwnld'ng the .tar version of the same and flashing thro ODIN to get the latest CWM recovery.

its only with proper CWM recovery that u will have all the option like. Backup and restore, Install zip from Internal Sdcard etc.

with the above state of urs it seems that u still have Stock(3e) recovery from which u cant install any Custom ROM/KERNEL for sure:)

Hope this is clear for u now:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickson23:
Now its bit clear. From where do i get siyah kernel?

Since it is a very risky i don't want to google and load a corrupt file to brick my phone.

Please provide link to siyah kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
here u go www.gokhanmoral.com

dwnld the kernel which is meant for S2 only and also the .tar file of the same(not the .zip file) to flash with Odin:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickson23:
which version? all are safe?

I should D/L both .zip and .tar ryt? and flash .tar with odin !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
all version's are safe ma8:)

dwnld the latest siyah ver 4.1.4 .tar file for S2 and flash the same thro ODIN by putting the file in the PDA section of ODIN and connecting ur phone in dwnld mode to flash the same.

no need to dwnld the .zip file of the same:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickson23:
oh crap.I downloaded tar file but which i have load through pda ? my phone is in download mode
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickson23:

Yes, place the .tar file in the pda section and flash away.

[HTC One X] rhystaylor:
Help!

So, I made the switch from a iPhone 4S to a HOX a few days back - pretty excited about what the future held.

I spent some time trawling threads on here, and managed to root and unlock the bootloader through HTCdev no problem. Phone was working fine.

Then, I got a little ambitious and tried to slap the latest CyanogenMod JB ROM on via USB... and that's where things went downhill.

I'm thought I followed the guide I found to the letter, but obviously not.

After flashing the ROM I found myself with a spinning circle splash screen (this went for 20 mins). I restarted the handset, and got the same problem.

I then revisited as many threads as I could find to try and fix it, but couldn't 1) get past HBOOT or Fastboot, or 2) mount my phone on my HP or Mac.

I followed these steps from TORXX but, when I got to 'adb reboot' I received 'Error device not found' (or words to that affect).

I kept searching and followed a few more threads (clearly not having any idea of what I was doing), and hoping like anything something would work. Obviously something did work, but not what I expected, as now the device shows 'Relocked' at the top of the screen.

Now, I'm caught in a trap, as I can't unlock the device again or use any of the recovery files I downloaded, as all the guides rely on you being able to transfer files from your computer via USB (which I can't do).

I'm not keen on using the term 'bricked', as everywhere I have read says that if you can still turn the device on, then there is most likely a way to sort the issue...

As per the noob intro vid, I've tried to outline as much of what I understand/remember I've done... but as is blindingly obvious, I'm fresh off the boat from Cupertino.

If anyone could help me...

1) Unlock the handset (again)

2) Get out of the boot loop

3) Install the CyanogenMod

...it would be greatly appreciated!

Oh, I don't know if it helps but its running on Telecom (NZ) network.

Image 1 - 3: Start up, and boot loop.

Image 4: HBOOT

Image 5: Fastboot

Image 6: Now it is Relocked

Selecting Recovery, Reboot Bootloader and Factory Reset just send me back to the boot loop.
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
Can you still get in recovery if yes just revert back to your back up and try again and do you still have your unlock key

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

If you still have your unlock key try this tool and see if you phone gets recognized

Just put your unlock key in the unlock code folder start tool and click unlock

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734365
[HTC One X] rhystaylor:
I can't get into recovery. I just wind up back in the boot loop, or HBOOT/Fastboot menu (when I press volume down).

If by unlock key you mean the .bin file that HTCdev emailed me, then yes... If you mean the string I copied and pasted on the HTCdev site, then no.
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
The .bin file
[HTC One X] rhystaylor:
Great, I used the tool, and it unlocked the device.

I then ended back at the spinning splash screen.

I restarted the phone, and was able to enter Recovery.

Now, going forward from here, this is the part I must've stuffed up last time... So, I'm looking for a noob-friendly way to install the ROM.
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
I would recommend installing arhd I can help you all the way with that the cm Rom is a bit complex

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

Also with that tool you don't need to fastboot boot.IMG just put boot.IMG in kernel folder open tool and click install kernel and it will install it for you
[HTC One X] rhystaylor:
Many thanks. I'm downloading arhd now and will try flashing it with the tool as you suggest, so will let you know how it does. Surely not even I can screw this part up!!!
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
Not with that tool it makes thing so easy I use it all the time no problem just don't relock your bootloader with a custom Rom

Iv gotta go work soon but I will be back on about 5pm to see how your doing
[HTC One X] rhystaylor:
Thanks again. I appears I spoke to soon!

I put the boot.img in the folder and performed action, but for some reason I ended back up at the CyMod screen when I rebooted?

My phone isn't showing up as a drive on my computer either...
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
Don't reboot install boot.img got to recovery run superwipe.zip then install arhd still don't reboot wipe cache and delvik cache then reboot let things settle down and enjoy sorry forgot to mention superwipe you can find it on arhd thread just underneath were you downloaded Rom
[HTC One X] rhystaylor:
Any tips on how to get Superwipe onto my phone if I cant mount it as a drive? Can I do it through the tool?
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
Don't think so did you make a back if you did just go back to that and start again

Iv Goya go work now will be back on at 5
[HTC One X] rhystaylor:
Have a good day at work. I've got Superwipe on now.

Followed your steps...

1) Superwipe

2) Flash arhd

3) Clear cache

4) Clear dalvik cache

5) Reboot

But, now, after rebooting I simply end up at the HTC splash screen, and nothing loads after... Is there anything I could have missed.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Boot loops are nearly always a lack of boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
Hi mate back now are u still having trouble and Is it bootloop or just stuck if its stuck just wait first boot after installing a Rom can take awial 1 of myn took nearly 20 min once
[HTC One X] rhystaylor:
Thanks for all the help! Just running through the process once more, and fingers crossed it works!
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
1 use that tool to boot boot.IMG

2 go to recovery run superwipe

3 install arhd choose all tweaks apart from force 2d rendering

4 clear cache and delvik cache

5 reboot and you should be done

Fingers crossed
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigaTiger:
Okay well my HTC Legend has almost no signal or occasionally 1 bar signal. While on the SAME plan and network, my Nexus S has full bars. This is a twin plan so everything is identical. I havent rooted it yet since it will void the warranty. Will reflashing the radio once its rooted fix the problem?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farukb:
i'd first check the battery cover, it serves as an antenna too, maybe the contacts are broken or they don't reach each other...
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigaTiger:
I've tried that. Im pretty sure the points touch each other. Sometimes there is no signal at all while other times there is only 1 bar.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farukb:
then try uodating your radio, i'm pretty sure you'll find all the info you need in the development section, but if you get stuck, feel free to ask.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigaTiger:
Yeah it looks like i need to update the radio. Rooting shouldnt be that hard.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yogi Bear:
I have had this before.... You will find that any jelly bean Rom other that the touchwiz versions will give you Wi-Fi problems .i.e. CM10 etc.

The way I fixed it was to flash Omega v13 which is back to the ICS version booted it right up ensured the Wi-Fi worked them flashed a AOSP JB ROM this then enabled my Wi-Fi again and it's been fine since.

I don't know why this works it just did for me... hope this helps.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] naveediftikhar:
hey croat..i read in the thread title that no mem lag?...so does that mean this rom suffers from no memory leak...or is this rom jus really better than other in coping with that like u said...in the new release?

edit:

flashed it..really smooth..no wifi error(came from android rev hd 2.3 full wiped)..but gallery didnt read my internal sd card data at all...no music..no pics..nothin..another issue is that there is no option to disable the onscreen buttons...i hate em alot..hence another deal breaker..all in good rom..!thumbs up!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jonny68:
I'm getting the occasional FC here and there so i think ill fix permissions again and see it that helps but asides from that this is excellent although it takes a bit of getting used to the soft keys, also not really a bug as such but when you click on google play and my apps it opens the top right of the screen and not the bottom left as is the norm, no big deal there though.

Anyone else who came from another AOSP ROM can you test wifi works otherwise will have to flash an ICS ROM then flash this.

PS -

WORKS FINE

Too early to say if the memory leak issue has gotten better or about battery life, ill report back,everything else appears to be fine, as i said previously USB tethering works im using my phone now to tether,

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

Mate you really should back up photos and music in Dropbox or the Box as well as External SD card, leaving stuff on your internal sd card is asking for trouble.

I'm not sure there are any options to disable the soft keys as this is a port from the nexus, they will take some getting used to alright but i suppose you've more options now anyway:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] bornlivedie:
Don't care that much about wifi tethering, so ill flash right now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yogi Bear:
Wifi Issue

Make sure you have a nand back up before you start.

My steps were...

Download Omega V13

Download (whichever CM10 or AOSP JB ROM you want the wifi to work on)

Flashed back to the Omega V13 Rom preforming full wipes etc.

Booted up into that ROM, I logged in etc.. connected to wifi then I used if for a hour or 2 as I needed it then....

Finally, I flashed the CM10 or AOSP JB ROM preforming full wipes and basically following the flashing instructions of that ROM.

Once booted up the WIFI worked again.

Hope this makes sense. UNR3AL21:laugh:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jonny68:
USB tethering works anyway just to let people know as im using it right now.

Everything appears to be working ok, i am getting the occasional FC but as i said im gonna fix permissions again as this usually does the trick.

no mem lag? can anyone confirm? if this is true you are the best.

can i use siyah kernel?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jonny68:
well i flashed this ROM last night and since then ive experienced no real memory leak , i haven't had to reboot and my music hasn't unexpectedly stopped or anything, im still getting the occasional FC but i do need to fix permissions again but if that doesn't resolve it i may reflash doing a full wipe as even though im coming from another AOSP ROM Blackbean and a full wipe isn't required sometimes when you are getting force close issues it's better to do a full wipe but yeah so far so good, battery life seems quite good i haven't properly tested that ill do that tonight ill leave the phone on overnight and see how that goes.

I'm not sure about Siyah kernel to be honest you are better sticking with the CM kernel, it appears to be very good as regards battery life.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

yeah i think id prefer if the onscreen buttons were taken away i cant really get used to them but asides from that hats off to you sir you've come up with a great ROM with no no apparent memory leak from what i have seen, could you be the first dev to come up with a solution for this damn memory leak?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AuxXxilium:
to remove the button. i use the framework-res.apk from nightly cm10.
