thanks It_ler!

im doing this for a friend so im pretty new to S2's issues about forward compatibility.

so let me summarize (and please correct me if im wrong, which I probably am):

all recoveries rely on the kernel that is currently installed and also used by the OS. So if I use the stock kernel or any other kernel that does NOT support se_linux, PhilZv6 will not work.

The phone is currently on CM10.2 (4.3.x), probably without se_linux extension (cant check right now, dont have his phone atm). So in order to make PhilZv6 compatible, I need to upgrade that kernel with one that includes se_linux, which is bascially any KK kernel. why would that stop me from flashing it through Odin though, especially without a proper error in the log?

how do kernels relate to the baseband version though? most custom kernels dont even list such information. or are the universally compatible?! and how come the CM version is compatible with KK without additional kernel tweaks? why isnt that the default option? So if i want to go KK (which I do with resurrection remix), I just need to flash the PhilZ KK version and install the ROM? any issues (e.g. incompatible backup/recovery, etc) with said recovery? after all, it must be non-default for a reason.

P.S. so many questions... yeah, im kind of over my head with this... im too used to my comfortable galaxy nexus which "just works"^^
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Ok, you want to flash RR ROM (Android 4.4.2) on an SGS2.

Then follow the installation instructions of the ROM:

As the phone is on CM10.2 (Android 4.3.x), you have to flash a kernel with a KK compatible recovery first.

There are many different (custom) kernels with KK compatible kernel available for the SGS2.

As we are in PhilZ-kernel thread, you can flash PhilZ-kernel for CM11 (Android 4.4.2).

Keep in mind that this kernel is not able to boot into a non-KK ROM. So you have to boot directly into recovery to flash the RR ROM zip file.

Hope it's clear now.

:D :D

I9100 hasn't android 4.2.2 TW roms (just one since the-bomber is trying to port a i9105 rom :good:) I didn't notice it before in RR thread :D :)

The latest CM10.2 builds have an android 4.4.x compatible recovery, so you don't need nothing, just flash the Kitkat rom you want.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OngL:
Philz, Thanks for the update. I will try this soon. Which one should I get?

Should I still flash the modules after flashing latest June 1 recovery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi,

am I getting that right, that with CM 10.2 and the apropriate CWM (which one would that be?) I can install 4.3 as well as 4.4 ROMs?

Is there currently any Philz Recovery that can do that?

Plus - it seems that the latest version of Philz recovery got some problems. Modems not necessarily working. Which version is the latest really working version?

regards

Daniel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Viper The Ripper:
YES!! CM10.2 has CWM 6.0.4.6 version as recovery, so you can flash KitKat over CM10.2 DIRECTLY and you don't need any extra kernel/recovery ;)

BTW I was running NeatRom v.6.0 with Apollo regular, and just flashed a Kitkat COMPATILBE CWM RECOVERY (WHICH IS ALREADY INCLUDED IN CM10.2) in order to update to Kitkat :good: anyway you can flash it over CM10.1 or a Stock 4.1.2 rom (as NeatRom) :)

Just make a backup before flash Kitkat. AFAIK then you can come back to you latest backup without problems ;)

As well told you our partner [MENTION=4229457]It_ler[/MENTION] and correcting him a little ;) , you can use this TEMPORAL RECOVERY (it contains just a recovery image, IT IS NOT A KERNEL) in order to flash a Kitkat rom, YOU PHONE WON'T BOOT UNLESS YOU'VE FLASHED A KITKAT ROM, with it you only can boot into recovery mode to flash a rom, so after you've flashed this recorery and you've mede the wipes >>> Flash inmediatly a rom ;) (DON'T POWER OFF/REBOOT SYSTEM AFTER WIPE THE PARTITIONS!)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi,

that's cool ... actually I did flash CM11m6 already before but got problems (with gapps) so I switched back to CM10.2 (I could also not really see the benefit however now it seems I can't live with the second newest ROM ... and I'd like to flash OmniROM which increases the needed space for backups ...)

Now I would like to use zipped TWRP format backup so I'd really like to use Philz recovery because it seems that this is the only possibility to recover cwm-format backups while normally using TWRP backups. So: is there a version I could use to:

-backup in zipped TWRP format

-be able to recover old CWM backups (stock or CM10.2)

-flash CM11 (as you said this should not be a problem)

-get no problems with Modems ... (I am too noob to risk something here ...)

Daniel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi

I just tried philz recovery but telephone was not working so I switched back to cwm ...

To be honest: as much as I like the features of philz - the menu and everything is quite confusing.

Will probably stick with cwm. Don't see much benefit in having touch in the recovery ...

Can someone please tell me if i should install latest Philz + CWM6 on stock recovery and 4.1.2 android version? (My kernel version is I9100XXMS7)

Or should i go for the older one and then update CWM itself?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] molak:
Hi guys,

Can you tell me please, if I can flash this kernel (http://d-h.st/030) on my SGS2, stock 4.1.2 NEE XWMS1 rom, or if there is some newer version.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
1. Yes, flash latest philz-kernel.

2. No, on SGS2 you have to flash kernel+recovery together.

Yes, that's the one you should flash [emoji106]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi,

it still feels like Philz recovery might get me something that I don't have with cwm original ... (especially since my backups tend to be 1,7GB now)

Last time I did get problems with the "phone-app" iirc. Can someone tell me how to avoid this?

Plus I do not get this section (from page 1):

What is he talking about? Kernel Code? Were to get that? And what is "close"? And what are "close regions"? How come I need to choose the right version on philz while I can just download cm (including cwm) or cwm without having to choose anything?

I guess in the 444 pages (it's really hard not to comment that interesting way of putting information as it is done on xda) there was someone who asked this stupid questions already. Can someone point me to were that is?

Thanks in advance!

regards

Daniel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
IDK about your backup size.

In PhilZ recovery you can enable/disable different part for backup. So ths will lead to different backup sizes.

About which PhilZ kernel to flash ... check in Settings > About Phone > Build number/version.

Usually the build version is identical which the kernel version (at least when you haven't flashed a different kernel/firmware yet).

If you find a PhilZ kernel exactly for your build version, then download and flash it. If not, then you can try a kernel version similar to the one you have.

E.g. if your build version would be XWMS4, then you can try to flash PhilZ kernel for XWMS3, as "XW" is for Europe and the version is similar.

Even if there would be a PhilZ kernel for ZSMS4, which also looks very similar, but has "ZS" for different region.

So always look for the region part first, then for the rest of the version.

That what is meant.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
I know the features I miss from philz ... (e. g. also zipped backups)

since I have already flashed different kernels already - is it still important?

plus: the kernel-number (I guess it is "Kernel-Version"?) ist quite long and contains numbers, some letters and so on. Where should I look for the important part? I'm using markox sabermod linaro compiled version of CM (currently nightly from 25/06)

regards

Daniel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
There is an option to set the compression of nandroid backups in PhilZ recovery (Misc Nandroid Settings).

As long as you are on stock or stock based ROM, you just need to compare the build number.

BTW, what is it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi,

once more: I am not on stock kernel any more - so: is it still important? Or what do you want me to tell you?

Kernel-Version: 3.0.64-CM-g010aaa2 root@markox-P5K #4 ?

regards

Daniel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Forget about the kernel version ... only look at the build version and post this.

Alternatively you can dial *#1234# into your phone and post a screenshot of the output.

It will also show the ROM/firmware version you are currently running on.

Hope it's clear now :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi,

ah ... that would be (build-number): cm_i9100-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P 734abafe42 test-keys

BTW: *#1234# gives me: "Verbindungsproblem oder ungültiger MMI-Code" which is: "connection problem or invalid MMI-Code" in english - aber wem schreib ich das?

Seems like in CM MMI-Codes in general don't work.

regards

Daniel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Sun90:
MMI CODES doesnt wrk on CM/AOSP/AOKP/PA based roms :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Ha, ha ... now it makes sense [emoji1]

You are not on s stock firmware but on CyanogenMod ROM.

Here are Philz kernel for CM ROMs.

Latest version may work for you.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hmmm ... thanks but can you tell me were I could have seen that from the thread already myself?

Or: were can your link be found?

I think it is pretty unlikely that someone finds philz before having flashed cwm plus some Rom ... so I think I am more normal than ppl. who use stock rom ...

Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
1. Post #3 > Download Links:

2. Yes, we all are normal ... as it is relative.

There are many people using PhilZ kernel, which was at the beginning only a rooted stock kernel (like CF-Root kernel from Chainfire).

So it was originally only for stock or stock based ROMs.

The CM versions were added later ... that's why I first thought that you are on a stock ROM.

In this case it was my fault. Sorry.

Have a nice day Daniel !

As a general note:

To avoid such misunderstandings, please post all relvant information (such as the exact firmware your device is running on ATM) from the beginning if you ask for help.

Can save some time for all of us. Thanks !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Can you name the firmware/ROM/build version you currently have on your phone by any chance?

That would help a lot, as there were many old Android versions for the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daniu:
Hi,

Just want to confirm that I cannot get philz to run with CM11 nightly from 25/06 (actually markox sabermod / linaro version) with any of the 2 offered philz recoveries offered for CM. I tried again (both versions - 6.05.6/6.07.1, cache wipe and dalvik wipe before and after installation)

I keep getting com.android.phone error.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Souldrinker:
No, but it might not be a good idea if the phone being rooted is using a stock kernel not patched for the brick bug like Philz.

I rooted my girlfriends i9100 on xmas eve (2012 I think) using the Exynos exploit and was happy to gain root that easy until I tried wiping the phone from a non-philz recovery and bricked the phone.

She did get a new on warranty a couple of weeks later, but it wasn't really a merry xmas ;)

And flashing philz kernel from stock recovery is not much harder than downloading an apk and then you can trust the kernel not to brick the phone.

NeatROM LSD

Hi all,

I'm currently using NeatROM (4.3 XWLSD). I read that, in order to flash the right version, I have to read only last 3 letter. So the last versione that I was able to find, per my ROM, is PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 with CWM 6.0.3.2 based recovery (DVLSH (i9100T) - XWLSS - XWLST - XWLSW - DXLSD - XXLSQ (i9100P) - ZSLSJ (fixed for bootloop)) is for DXSLD and not XWLSD. Is this right ?

I don't see a recovery here for the i9100M 4.1.2 MUGMA5... Any suggestions on what to flash from stock (3e) recovery?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bovirus:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2

PDA I9100XWLSD

PHONE I9100NELS1

CSC I9100HUILS4

Android version: 4.1.2

Kernel version 3.0.31-889555

The phone ha stock recovery and is rooted with SuperSU-Busybox-Sigend.zip package.

If I have Androdi version 4.1.2 is it need the Philz bootloader patch? Ot ris it need only for 4.0.4?

If I want to update kernel with package with bootloader for WXLSD (http://www.mediafire.com/?4cb3mf3lat13xcm) can I do it with stock recovery?

Is it need some special operation before do that?

One time that I load the package via recovery (kernel patched + recovery 6.0.3.1) can I update the recovery to more recet version 8x. 6.0.4.8) via recovery?

@ Phil3759

Could you update your WXLSD package with an update version of your recovery and an updated version of SuperSU?

Could you in your note in your first post the Android OS compatibility (4.0.4, 4.1.2) for your kernel?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Many questions ... I'm a little bit confused now:confused:

What do you want to do/achieve?

I understood:

You are on stock ROM/kernel/recovery and have only rooted your phone yet.

Bootloader patch ... do you mean the "bootloop fix"?

This is not need as long as you are on stock kernel/recovery AFAIK.

Latest PhilZ recovey versions (6.x) are not compatible with stock Android 4.1.2 firmware versions.

So don't flash it. It won't be able to boot your system ... an d may brick your device.

If you want to have the nice PhilZ-touch CWM recovery on your system, just flash the PhilZ-kernel for XWLSD as signed zip file from your external sd card ... and you're done.

No extra steps needed.

My scope is to have a full recovery (different from stock) with backup/restore function.

In the future (out of warranty - now is in warranty) I will update the phone with a custom ROM (ex. KK)

My primary current scope is to update the stock recovery with a new better recoevry.

The bootlop fix is just for Android 4.0.4 or also for Android 4.1.2?

Or is it referred to the bootloader version (not system version)?

Now I understood the misunderstanding that is due by use cwm6 befroe kernel version

The file that you posted (http://www.mediafire.com/download/mv18gmqcwtze273/PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSD-OXX-4.87-signed.zip)) as from first thread reference (17.04.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v4.93.6 with CWM 6.0.3.1 based recovery) contain PhilZ kernel 4.93.6 + Recovery 6.0.3.1)

Is it PhilZ kernel v.5.x or 6.x I believe that shoudl PhilZ kernel 6.x (not compatibel with Androdi 4.1.2).

Instead your link (http://www.mediafire.com/download/mv18gmqcwtze273/PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSD-OXX-4.87-signed.zip) point to PhilZ Kernel 5.x that it's compatible with Androdi 4.1.2. is it true?

For that I made the request in my previous post.

One time that I updatede kernel + recovery via stock recovery update, can I update Philz recovery to more recent version?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
I meant the PhilZ recovery version not the CWM recovery version.

The kernel I linked is for your stock ROM. It's (simply said) just the stock kernel, rooted, with PhilZ-touch CWM recovery.

The "bootloop fixed" thing is only for Android 4.1.2 versions, as the stock kernels seem to have sometimes an issue after flashing to directly go into a bootloop.

So the kernel dev has replaced the INTRAMFS (or similar) part of the stock kernel with the one from the leaked stock kernel XXLSJ, which seems to be not affected by this bootloop issue.

For flashing a KK ROM, you have to flash a KK compatible kernel first. And those kernels may have latest CWM recovery version.

I think you mixed up the PhilZ-kernel files and the PhilZ-recovery files.

The kernel has the recovery included ... and only this has to be flashed on the S2 to get permanent CWM recovery.

Yes, you can flash the signed kernel zip file in stock recovery from your external sd card.

So the version number you are rfering to is the PhilZ-recovery version number. The kernel version is the same as the stock kernel on which it is based on.

Keep in mind, PhilZ-kernel is (in simple words) just a rooted stock kernel with PhilZ-recovery.

Hope it's clearer now.
