If you flash cwm version via stock recovery you'll be rooted along with philz kernel and recovery.

The odin version doesn't give you root. Please read the FAQ

Well good to hear about the battey life but have you or anyone tried wiping your device while on stock 4.0.4 having insane chip? Any brick risks?

Some users say that the risk of hard-bricking on stock recovery is nearly zero.

But I have always flashed a "safe" custom kernel first, and then wiped in CWM recovery of that "safe" kernel.

For example, CWM recovery of PhilZ-cwm6 kernel is patched to be safe.

Please Advise

Hello good people!

I tried to upgrade to ...XWLS8 + PhilZ-cwm6 kernel v4.00b22. (Previously I was using ...XWLPU + ChainFire root kernel.)

Followed all instructions by Phil3759, but was getting the "enter “SIM network unlock PIN”" message, already mentioned here. Nothing I tried worked.

Decided to roll back to XWLPU.

Being frustrated, by mistake, I flashed the XWLPU kernel from ChainFire, instead of the actual stock FW, over the XWLS8 (using Odin3 v3.04).

Now am sort of bricked... I get the "yellow trangle" screen, but then just black screen.

Am I totally bricked, or is there a way out of this?

Any and all suggestions will be much appreciated.

Was using LPF (4.0.3) with CWMv5.

Flashed LS8 stock and after that was working, flashed the philz md5 via Odin, now I am stuck at boot screen (with yellow triangle).

How can I get this to work?

Edit: Can get to Philz via VOLUP+Power+Menu, but ROM still stuck.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Casastr:
Replying to my own question...

Was holding the VolUp + Home + Power buttons long enough for the "yellow triangle" screen to go on and off and then on again, and then miraculously PhilZ's Touch 4 screen came up, and I was able to revive the device. No clue why it came up if I had ChainFire's kernel flashed on there...

But still will have to revert back to LPU, as the phone just won't register on the network.

Never had a stuttering with full HD files....they are handled by the gpu that got hardware decoding.... it's WAY smoother on the galaxy s2 than on a pc with an integrated graphics like hd3000/4000 try it by yourself.

you MUST use stock player or a player with hardware decoding support and be sure the codec you use is hardware supported...never lost a single frame...perfectly 25fps film smooth even on tvout....the some does my droid razr that got an OLD sgx540!~

this is the first time I hear such a complain....You should try an iphone if you think gs2 doesn't handle media files well!:)

ALL android Mali gpu phones are perfectly capable of handling even more than full hd resolution....:D

use only stock supported codecs ...

Not to mention it's perfectly capable of handling full hd flash contents directly into browser using desktop user agent...(even on ICS)

it got TONS of power even beeing a phone

Re: [23.01.2013][PhilZ-cwm6][i9100/P] v4.00-b22 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root-XXLS8

Just to report. I flashed to philz LS8 kernel after a full wipe installation of Alliance rom 6 yesterday. By default the rom comes with Fineco kernel which I used to flash some different visual mods without issues.

I flashed philz kernel LS8 based kernel yesterday with the usual kernel clean methods and everything was running smoothly and battery was good and rebooted in to recovery once or twice to have a look at and was impressed with some of the options available like making a rom updated zip amongst other things. I even made a modem backup just to see how it works and it did its job and booted back into rom without issues.

Today I ran into a major issue . I booted into recovery to make a backup of rom the standard one not the custom one. And the job was completed and done so I proceded to boot into rom and I was stuck on Samsung screen bootloop :eek::eek::(

I have heard a few reports from neatrom users experience this as the kernel comes by default with the LS8 versions. But I have never experienced an issue like this before on a kernel that is compatible with rom.? I can understand bootloop for non compatible kernels or if a incompatible mid was flashed but I successfully booted back in fourth without issues. It's only when I make the backup.

Nothing I tried helped or worked to get me passed the screen. Cleared delvik, cache fix permissions, reinstalled the kernel nothing. Even got a kernel panic message once.

So I thought what would happen if I reinstalled the back up I just made and that for me helped me boot back into phone :confused:

But for the life of me I don't know what triggered this in the first place cause all I did was make a backup and ironically it was this same backup that helped me out of it.?

same happen to me... even if it's a modded stock kernel it hangs and got several issues. better stock + temporary cwm

I give you a suggestion...extract stock ls8 kernel(zimage) from firmware and move it inside the philz one overwriting and rename the file you obtain.

put both philz kernel and modded philz with stock(the file you obtained and renamed) kernel inside your external sdcard.

This way you can use your phone with stock kernel that got no camera issue and no hangs and when you need philz recovery you can directly switch from stock recovery to philz one just flashing philz kernel applying update...and after going back to stock doing the same inside philz recovery flashing back to stock.

you can now switch back and forth stock and philz kernel!

+1. Everything works great with Wanamlite ROM. I think that the issue is mostly experienced by Alliance ROM users (tried it and there are many bugs, so went back to Wanam), Omega ROM (indie is working on an update), and NeatROM lite (maybe too many important system files removed (Sale sometimes gets carried away :) ).

One more thing -

guys, do not use kernel cleaning scripts - just install the kernel and that's it

Re: [23.01.2013][PhilZ-cwm6][i9100/P] v4.00-b22 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root-XXLS8

Just had my 2nd bootloop and kernel panic experience and this time the trigger was changing batteries. I had to do another rom restore to get out of it.

I'm sorry philz as much as I liked the kernel (especially the recovery) for when phone is on for performance and battery this is to unstable for me to use as a daily kernel. once I can over look but twice. I'm only speaking about the LS8 version not the others. ;)

I always change batteries over so this could be the trigger.

I hope someone can have a look at this.

@pillgram I disagree against not using kernel clean scripts like GS2KernelWipe as it intelligently cleans specific files related to kernels and useful when switching between different brands of kernels.

Case in point from siyah to Dorimanx and vice versa so there no conflicting files.

It's not compulsory as users can do this manually but I'm lazy and it does all the hard work for me.

If your jumping from kernel version like siyah version 1 to Siyah version 2 then that's fine without the need to use kernel clean.

But take your time and read what hawkerpauls scripts do before passing judgment. Links in signature below;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pilgrim011:
Never used kernel cleaning scripts = never experienced bootloops. If I run into a problem, I deal with it manually, via any root file browser. I have heard over last few years many users complaining on kernel threads and many of them are using kernel cleaning scripts. The fact is that those scripts sometimes are deleting important files, and other times they are not aware of some specifics, such as the /preload on JB ROMs... i'm not saying that kernel cleaning script is the culprit this time, i'm saying it could be, so try without it next time. Also, try with pure stock deodexed ROM (Wanam is fine), and do not add any Alliance customizations (or other customizations that are still experimental).;)

Re: [23.01.2013][PhilZ-cwm6][i9100/P] v4.00-b22 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root-XXLS8

Its got nothing to do with that. Trust me. I have been using hawkerpauls version for the last 2 months out or pure laziness without issues. As they are smart in what they delete as he takes into account philz, jeboo, dorimanx and Siyah.

Read the thread to get a better idea.

I too could do those things manually myself.

But never have I experienced bootloops. It's not philz fault I guess as it's this new stock kernel Samsung provided as the main culprit.

Try doing what I said. Change the battery, make a backup to see if this can trigger it.

It might be you are right and this is isolated to Alliance and NeatRom roms but that's why I posted here as the main trigger was this LS8 kernel as I never experienced these issues before and on the kernel i was on prior to flashing PhilZ.

I will try this with another kernel to see if the same happens and see as that's the quickest and easiest comparison I can do . I'm not about to go pure stock yet. ;)

But will do if the problem persists ;)

Re: [23.01.2013][PhilZ-cwm6][i9100/P] v4.00-b22 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root-XXLS8

As just mentioned by Phil3759 - Philz kernels are pure stock (with brick bug command disabled). The recovery is the main feature.

The kernel itself doesn't root, but the script in the zip file does when flashed from recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] culoescopeta:
But, in this case, Philz use "XXLS8" stock kernel, right? Then, if I use Philz kernel over my current stock rom, I will replace the XWLS8 kernel by XXLS8 kernel, right?

bootloop fixed

To all the people with bootloops,

Had the same problem with stock JB (FOP Spain) and Philz kernel. But as phil states the kernel ist not modified. I found out that the kernel is not the problem, the solution is that you have to format your external sd card and it should work without any problem.

It seems that my sdcard caused the problems because I could also produce the boot loop in stock JB Rom (without Philz Kernel + CWM). You can try out easily if your sdcard causes the same problem too. Flash JB stock (so no philz is on the phone), complete setup wizard and reboot. After reboot press power button for 4 secs (so that phone tries to reboot), if you're stuck now you have the same problem. If you do the same thing again without sdcard it will not happen according to my tests. I then backed up my sdcard to my PC and reformatted the card and then it worked perfectly. Then I copied back all the stuff I needed (I would not recommend copy back stuff like .android_secure as I did not copy back any system data) only app folders and media files. Maybe it would be enough to delete .android_secure. Hope that someone can try out as mine works now.

Best regards and I hope this helps.
