custom ROM/KERNEL cannot be flashed thro Stock Recovery ma8. for that u need a wrk'ng CWM Recovery.

U can flash the .tar file of siyah v4.1.2 using ODIN from ur PC, u will get the latest 6.x.xx recovery installed along with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gb.yolo:
Use Odin on your pc and flash the .tar archive of the Siyah Kernel (4.1.2 or 4.0.1).

Unless something really rare happens, this shouldn't affect your user data. Remember to wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the kernel (you will have CWM just after flashing).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingsleyhopper:
Does it affect my wallpaper settings or folder arrangement or any other changes or just it installs the custom kernel just like rooting??

i have seen many ppl bricking phone using ODIN is there any good tutorial from XDA for using ODIN to flash custom kernel

I already searched and many comes up confused:confused: which tut to use ODIN

yeah okay ......I will do as you say ......but why should i wipe cache and dalvik after installing custom kernel ??:confused:

Really Do u have link to any xda tut for this or any links if u consider to share here :highfive:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gb.yolo:
Installing a new kernel doesn't affect any of your settings.

You should wipe cache and dalvik cache to ensure integrity, stability and no program errors :)

Flashing with Odin is easy and preferred by most ppl, but I don't wont to have a yellow triangle and incrased binnary counter (never had it). I preffer tools or ways more complicated but still safe to root or flash. I'm using Odin only when I want to perfectly debrand phone or wipe him to factory state with stock firmware.

But S2 is so user friendly that it is a sin to rape him with Odin all the time. All you need is:

1. Fake recovery to root any ICS based stock firmware

2. Mobile Odin (or something like that) to flash custom 'preclockworkmoded' kernel

After that you can, and you should, flash averything from cwm recovery (all .zip based files) or tools like Hellcat's kTool or Chainfire's CWM tool or mentiobed before Mobile Odin (to flash anything you want - .zip .tar .bin wit md5 hash or without it)

Use Odin only when you don't have another choice. You will not be bored by drivers, data connections, is it see or not see by explorer or Odin, etc.

It is mobile gadget, use it's wireless power.

Even for data transfer there are great aps (AirDroid, ES File explorer, Solid explorer etc.).

1. Where you find cwm.zip can you link me that page (not file)

2.Are you able to entre in download mode

3.You were on which ROM while doing this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redahashem86:
i downloaded cwm.zip with the busybox from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647148

yes i can enter the download mode

i am on the stock ics rom (which i upgraded the 2.3 to it)

please help me

and thanks for the fast reply
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
First you didn't know that zip is not available now, and you must have this which you downloaded earlier, that zip is abandonas it proved to use unsafe and can brick device.

Not only that, you souldn't have to wipe anything on stock ICS.

Anyway if you are able to enter download mode then flash any GB ROM you have already with you, otherwise download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redahashem86:
ok i wasn't know that, anyway i downloaded odin, what did i need else? what you mean by "download from my signature (pre rooted) and flash with Odin"?

i didn't understand this sentence, did it mean that i need specific type of rom to flash it from odin?

thank you a lot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:

Extract it and flash with PC odin.

ok i see the link in your signature and i am downloading the rom, and when it finish i must flash it with odin? and it must work? and when it work how can i get ics again? can i update system from android settings?

please reply thanks

with my respect
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
See everything is on your luck, I hope you get device working again with above said ROM.

But remember even after flashing ROM successfully, it may not boot up, dont worry. enter to recovery(vol up+hole+power) and wipe cache, delvik cache and data. then it should fine.

But if while flashing ROM, if it stuck then your luck is not with you and chances will be high you have bricked device.

Let report back, n Me or someone will guide you for next step.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redahashem86:
===============================================

if it is depends on my luck, so it is a problem :( anyway thank u a lot and wish me a good luck.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
B'coz what you did was totally wrong and risky, and if any damage you had can only rule out once your device gets life again. :) So pray before flashing and GoodLuck from ourside.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redahashem86:
==================================================================

yes it was been a wrong, and i didn't have the enough experience to do like this step,

i install the ore rooted rom (in your signature) and i flash it, before it finish flashing it stop and then give an error, and when i turn on the phone to the recovery mode it give a message "firmware upgrade encourtted an issue, please select recovery mode is kies and try again" what can i do please.

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
You should have noted down the error on that flash before you went to recovery mode. Every error is an essential part and you should take a note of it as this can lessen your upgrade issues.

So here's what your going to do. Turn the phone to Airplane Mode.

Try to reflash again the pre prooted GB room in download mode Once your successful doing it, download stock ICS firmware (in your region) from www.samfirmware.com. Don't use OTA updates as this will mostly fail. Just use PC KIES to update your phone back to 4.0.4 ICS.

Take it one step at a time and again next time, remember try not to be in a hurry doing it. It takes patience and a bit of luck in flashing and upgrading.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Yes as above said, reflash ROM by putting device in download mode

in the begining thank you for your help

i fixed my phone, in a shop specialized for these cases but i dont know how.

and my phone now returned to the stock ics rom.4.0.3

i would ask if i can flash a custom rom (jelly bean 4.1 for example) and what are the safety steps that can i follow to avoid any another brick to my phone? what do you advise?

thanks again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
if u on ics u need to flash a safe kernel like philz or hydracore. that's it. Now u r good to go
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redahashem86:
Is there any danger if i flash any of the kernels u mentioned? And does the phone remain working after i flash the kernel? And after i flash the kernel what is the next step? Flash the rom? Or there is any step required before?

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
yes the phone will work after flashing any of the mentioned kernels.

philz is the best for ics as it can be installed from stock recovery and it's safe and gives u root and cwm

then u can boot into cwm and do a factory reset format system, data, wipe cache and dalvik then install the new rom.

Hey. I'm having some trouble using the firmware for this phone that is posted in the development section. I've tried a couple of different ones but each seems to have the same problem. Getting a GPS signal seems to be impossible, it just won't fix on anything. I checked some help threads and found you should use fasterfix, gpsopt and dial *#*#1472365#*#*. But gpsopt fails to load, fasterfix doesn't make a different and dialing the number brings up nothing.

But when i'm using stock firmware, after using gpsopt and dialing that number, i get a GPS fix within 5 seconds each time and it works great. But i'd much rarther use custom firmware if possible since it seems to be much more responsive than my older stock firmware.

Any ideas how i can get it working well? The one i'm using at the moment says it supports it

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbucz24:
Those will all work...but IMO,

Kaspersky and Norton are both too heavy. They will slow your system down considerably.

I've worked tech for PC's for years. Honestly, I don't use a antivirus program anymore.

I have a set of programs that I use to clean up infections if I get one an its rare.

A good solution is a good firewall. I've just ran the stock vista an the problems have been minimal.

In the virus world, most big name antivirus companies engines are well known. Kind of like how internet explorer seems more attacked than Firefox was back in the day.

AVG is a free antivirus program. Its one of the best ones out there.

Norton and Mcafee are the two worst you can use.

If you are looking for a free solution then I would go with Microsoft Security Essentials. It's fast and does a great job of picking and stopping just about anything and doesn't cause issues with the operation of the PC it's on.
