Ah!! Thank you. So basically you have to flash Kitkat Recovery and Kitkat ROM together. The Philz recovery will only work for JB Roms and below! So I guess I can go up to 4.3 ROMs with my current recovery? Anything more and I have to find the right recovery first. I was wondering whether Philz did a kitkat compatible recovery as like the functions it offers but I guess not. Nevermind these guys already do so much for us mortals.

:good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
There is a PhilZ kernel for CM11.

This is Kit Kat too.

Download link is in post #3 ... look for CM versions.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
There is a PhilZ kernel for XWLSD, that will match your current ROM exactly.

But newer PhilZ kernel version for stock ROMs may also work on your phone.

I recommend to flash a newer ROM version first (such as XWMS2 or XWMS3) and then flash PhilZ kernel for XWMS2, which will work fine for both ROM versions.

root help

can i flash philz 6.19.3 without rooting the device with custom kernel?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sharp87:
Philz comes with root access..afaik u cant unroot in philz kernel...some other kernel have unroot options
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
It depends on the superuser app you use.

I don't know about Superuser app (which is default superuser app for PhilZ kernel), but in SuperSU app (from Chanfire), you have an unroot option.

So you can flash PhilZ kernel, install SuperSU app (which will install its binaries after first start), and then unroot the device.

Alternatively, you can just flash the PhilZ kernel tar file with Odin to your phone.

Then you will have PhilZ kernel with the CWM touch recovery but the phone will not be auto-rooted.

Maybe that's what you want.

does philz kernel come within philz recovery zip? or it will be flashed separately? my device isn't rooted, can i flashed philz recovery with stock recovery or odin and then supersu app with philz recovery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Coempi:
Normally you flash kernel + recovery together. It's almost sure this is the same in your case.

Best regards, Coempi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
This will work fine on your UHMS8 stock ROM.

As Coempi already said, on our phone (GT-I9100), kernel and recovery is combined in the same partition.

So if you flash a kernel, you'll also flash its recovery along with it.

Just flash the signed Philz kernel zip file in stock recovery from external sd card, then your phone will be rooted and you will have PhilZ touch CWM recovery.

The kernel's default superuser app is Superuser (not SperSU), but you can install SuperSU app from Play store afterwards to replace the su binaries (on first start of SuperSU app).

And there is a way to prevent installing Superuser app on next PhilZ kernel flashing ... you have to place a config file in PhilZ folder on your sd card ... it's described somewhere ... can't find the link ATM.

EDIT:

You need philz_installer.cfg file (text file with content: "flash_superuser=false") in your clockworkmod folder.

Then flashing PhilZ kernel won't install Superuser app ... but you need to have SuperSU app already on your phone.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
1. It's XXLSJ. Not XWLSJ.

2. Use TriangleAway app from Chainfire to remove the yellow triangle.

3. XXLSJ was the first leaked/unofficoal Android 4.1.2 firmware. It was kind of test version. Not for daily use. So I recommend to flash a newer official firmware, such as XWMS2 or XWMS3.

You tried to flash PhilZ recovery only.

That won't work on the SGS2 (GT-I9100) as the recovery is built into the kernel.

So you have to flash PhilZ kernel for XWMS2, which is latest version for stock ROMs and will also work fine on XWMS3.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Assuming that you plan to flash an international SGS 2 (GT-I9100):

Same way as on stock recovery.

Just download the needed PhilZ kernel zip file and save it to your sd card (with CWM recovery it doesn't matter if it's stored on internal or external sd card).

Then boot into recovery, and flash the kernel zip file.

I am currently running rooted stock i9100PXXLSS (4.1.2), and i was wondering if i can install the philz_touch_6.25.0-i9100.zip. Or do i have to first install an older version? Ultimately, i want to have the latest CWM and then install a custom ROM.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
PhilZ-touch ... zip file contains only the recovery. Won't work on your phone, as you need kernel+recovery together.

You have to flash PhilZ kernel, e.g. this for GT-I9100P.

As it's for GT-I9100PXXLSU, you should backup everything important before flashing. Just in case ...

Hi, I'm planning to update my friends stock 4.0.3 sgs2 international to a KitKat based rom.. From what I understand, there needs to be a suitable recovery and root before this is possible..

But I'm confused on what I should flash in stock recovery. The goo.im page lists no kernel specific flash zip for i9100. http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Flash this DXLPB version of PhilZ kernel to root your phone and get CWM recovery.

Can be flashed via stock recovery from external sd card.

This kernel can boot your phone. I recommend to make a nandroid backup (create backup in CWM recovery) before flashing anything else.

For flashing a KK ROM, you need to flash a KK compatible CWM recovery first. There are several available for the GT-I9100, such as Gustavo_s kernel. Keep in mind that a kernel with a KK compatible CWM recovery is not able to boot into your non KK ROM. So when flashing such a kernel, you will have to boot directly into recovery and continue flashing the KK ROM.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Whosat:
Thanks for your help! But seems like I'm unable to flash the recovery through stock. If I had access to a computer, how would I go about doing this in Odin?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
1. Flash the kernel zip only - not the recovery. On the SGS2 the kernel and rcovery always has to be combined.

2. Re-download the kernel zip file. Maybe it's just a "bad" download.

Alternatively, you can download and flash kernel tar file in PDA section of Odin. But this won't auto-root your phone, give a yellow triangle at boot and trigger the custom flash counter.

That's why I recommend to flash the signed zip file in recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Whosat:
Ah I see the problem, the download was only 72kb must have been a bad download. I've got the full file now, testing
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Whosat:
Alright, I've downloaded and flashed the recovery and made a nandroid backup. Now downloading KitKat files..

I read somewhere about requiring repartitioning for cm10.2. Does this apply for cm11 as well? Do I need to odin flash any pit files? Or will formatting in a KitKat compatible recovery do the job?

Thanks for all your help! :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
We are getting slightly off-topic here.

AFAIK, no re-partition needed for CM11.

Maybe you want to ask this in ROM (discussion/help) thread.

On the SGS2 (GT-I9100), you have to flash the whole kernel including the recovery.
