I used "Wipe -> I will flash new ROM" option.

Now I've tried to restore only boot and system, but still no success.

One more thing: when I go to that wipe option, it says "formatting /sd-ext", but my external SD wouldn't be formatted (and that's where my backup is stored). Can there be something wrong with the "wipe" option?

EDIT: Just checked - my internal storage is intact as well.

Has there been a new philz lollipop released yet iv seen it in a couple Lollipop ROMs already and i want to be able to flash it when i want
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tom Mix:
a little help plz

i already installed a custom recovery on some devices but i am stuck with the gt-i9100

my first try:

- the phone was on 4.0.4

- booted into download mode

- started odin 3.09

- got an 'Added!!' in odin

- checked AP

- selected 'philz_touch_6.48.4-i9100.tar.md5'

- pressed start

- got a FAIL! <- my first one with odin and more than six devices :eek:

then i tought: maybe it helps to update the stockrom to latest 4.1.2 I9100XWMS2

unfortunately i get the same fail at the I9100XWMS2.

meanwhile i learned that the recovery is bound to the kernel of the rom and i need a recoverey matching to the rom.

however i failed to find a fitting guide describing how to flash Slim-i9100-4.4.4.build.9.0-OFFICIAL-8301 on my gt-i9100

so i post here and hope one can point out what version of philztouch is to be flashed to flash the slimrom with.

It's seems like you have problem with the Samsung drivers.

Some of the other 6 devices are samsung?

Anyway try with another pc if you can.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Tom Mix:
samsung drivers

yes, there were other samsung devices:

i9300

i9195

i9505

they all went well.:rolleyes:

CWM Check Free Space

Is it possible to check free space of the internal storage from within Philz recovery after doing a free wipe?

Having trouble restoring a NANDroid and think it's due to running out of space.

---------- Post added at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------

Why doesn't a full wipe delete everything in /data/ ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Hmm ... /data/ is the data partition, and the internal storage you are talking about seems to be .../sdcard/ or something lie this.

So all the different partitions are physically on the internal sd card, but they are logically separated (in different partitions).

And you have to wipe (or format) them separately.

Wiping data will only erase the data partition, not any other partition ... and not the whole internal sd card.

If you have or can get a cheap external sd card, create the nandroid backup on the external sd card.

Wiping the whole internal sd card is not recommended, as you may brick your phone.

Hello there, i have ROM version XWMS3 too, can you tell me if this is the last Android version for the galaxy s2? (I9100).

Also why i cant find the according link the the philz kernel on the first page of the topic? (thank for giving the link yourself, i used but wonder why i didnt find it myself).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GreekDragon:
Yes.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Yes, XWMS3 is one of the latest officially released firmware versions for the S2.

The link to all PhilZ-kernels for stock firmware is in post #3.

Search for "older versions" and then "I9100".

[Galaxy S II Android Development] int0x13:
So why it's in OLDER version if the XWMS3 is the latest version?

Do you suggest to use Micro SDXC with ExFat format? I have a 64Gb card at hand, do you think it's working and is reliable? thx.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Older version refers to the philz recovery included in the kernel. The recovery is updated to be compatible with newer versions of android like kitkat and lollipop. The stock kernel was made with the then up to date recovery, which was 4.1.x jellybean. So if you like you can flash the KERNEL with the older recovery, then reboot to recovery and flash the newer RECOVERY.

For the sd card the biggest recommended is 32gb, but I have heard of people using 64gb with no problems. I would recommend using default format, although some might say otherwise
[Galaxy S II Android Development] int0x13:
=>I have flashed this http://d-h.st/SvM through Odin. Success. I dont see the interest of flashing a newer recovery for kitkat as the latest ROM for galaxy s2 is the 4.1.2

=>About the external SD i'm currently using the 64 GB card with FAT32 format (because i had a kernel without ExFat support), but i have a lot of issue: FREEZE that needs REBOOT. I was suspecting the kernel (i had the Hirox, Speedmod), but i start to think it's coming from the SD card and the FAT32 format, so I will try to format it into ExFat and use the Philz kernel that IS supporting ExFat.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Just FYI, it's worth it in my opinion to update the recovery. Even if you don't want to upgrade to a custom KK or LP rom I've had situations for example the older recovery not being able to read the sd card, where the newer version could. It was the difference between being able to flash a rom or kernel etc from sd card.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
If everything he wants to do works fine in the "old" recovery, there is really no need to flash a newer one IMO.

And AFAIK only the recovery build into the kernel is permanent on the S2. So you will have to install the newer recovery each time before you can use it.

Maybe I'm not up-to-date, as I was happy with the build-in PhilZ-touch recovery when I had the S2 myself.

... just my 2 cents.

I have one s2 with Lollipop Resurrection Remix CM-12.1 v5.1.1_r1 and it wanted to know if it is or It will have Kernel PhilZ for this version.

If it does not exist; one will be employed at her?

Thank you.

No philz kernel was only a modified kernel for stock samsung rom. The stock CM rom will work just fine, and you can find different custom kernels on the development thread such us apolo kernel

[Galaxy S II Android Development] hebermc:
So if I understand correctly this is a recovery without a kernel (S2 is like that), so once I upgrade to this I have to install a new ROM (which will have its own recovery)?

If the ROM installation fails, in recovery will I be able to just to a nandroid backeup restore and the old recovery will come back?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yes and no. If you flash this, you can still use your rom if you haven't flashed another one, but you would need to reflash a compatible kernel such as the boot.img from the rom or a compatible custom kernel. Installing a new rom will install the new recovery

If you do a backup with this recovery, and the installation fails, you should be able to restore the rom of the backup. But as I said before though I have not had one issue using this recovery. It is CWM version 6.0.5.0 or 6.0.5.1 from memory, modified by [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION], so it is definately kitkat compatible
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hebermc:
That one did not allow me to use old ROM, just got stuck on boot screen.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
What do you mean didn't allow you to use old ROM? If I understand this post might clarify things. Let me know if that doesn't help
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hebermc:
I had understood that the "thing" I was installing was recovery+kernel in such a way that I could "upgrade" my recovery (and keep using my old rom), but from what I now understand that "thing" (that supports LP) was just the recovery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Yes that is correct. Sorry I didn't explain it better

Thats what I meant by the bold type above. Sorry again
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Atrax2010:
I have my mom's i9100 here, never worked on it before, but now I need it SIM unlocked. So I'm trying to root it first but have issues with flashing anything via Odin, it just fails at NAND Write start.

Tried with 3.10, 3.07 and 1.85, all the same.

I have Kies 2.6 installed and all the drivers, debugging enabled.

The phone is on 4.1.2 stock.

Build: JZO54K.I9100XWLSD

Baseband: I9100BULS1

Recently I was also rooting the S3 and S4, and it worked without any issues using Odin 3.10, I don't understand the issue here.

I just want it rooted and maybe flash as stock as possible rooted rom that will be stable and decent battery life, it's for my mom so nothing special is needed, but I need it SIM unlocked, maybe you could also recommend a rom and what kernel to use as well? I know it's a matter of trying out different stuff and I would if it was for me, but it doesn't matter, something stable and that will look and feel stock, but maybe with better performance and battery life.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Geekeek:
Thanks Phil for the awesome work. I'm on the JB keak LSJ. Version 3.1 of your kernel. Used mobile odin.

Is updating to 3.5 necessary? I don't have an external SD so reckon I'll be flashing kernel through mobile odin?

Same here Status is Personal (Benutzerdefiniert on german language) but the OTA search endless.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rulandas:
I dont see any issue here. Nice that counter is reset. Which is good thing. But you are using modified kernel. Therefore I would not expect not to get that message. And when you reboot your device. Every time you get message "android is upgrading".
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gutslit:
from 3.1 i updated to 3.5,after i flash,the yellow triangle appears again.I just removed it again using triangle away.;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
There are no changes, kernel wise, between 3.1 and 3.5

Only changes are related to recovery

I still have Official as status under my kernel

I do not use OTA, but should work for you as 3.1

Modified status can be triggered if you modify other combos I think like CSC, default modem, kernel or mainly if you are on custom ROMs

Try to flash the official leak in odin. It is a full wipe version that wipes also /data normally. If not, you did not get the real leak, but some custom modified one

After that, it could be you need Yellow Triangle to reset phone status. After that, installing my kernel won't alter it at all

About the Phone Upgrading message on boot, you probably did not wipe before this major update to XXLSJ. Just do a clean install and it will be fixed. It is not related to my kernel in anyway
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
That's because you flashed with odin.

Just flash my zip packages and you will never see a yellow triangle
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gutslit:
ok.. i get it.. from now on i try the zip file pagkage of yours and flash it in cwm.. :o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GalaxyGusta:
Well I have no idea why but what he told me totally worked!

This is what I did:

Flahed the kernel 3.5 with Odin

Went into recovery mode

Flashed the lpx and also tried flashing LPQ and both gave me status 7 error

After I so his idea I tried the same thing but with siyah instead of Dorimanx and also gave me status 7 error

It only worked with Dorimanx kernel
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
How are you flashing the modem? using mobile odin or odin?

Also can you tell me:

- ROM you are on (kernel/csc/modem)

- modem you are on

- modem you are trying to flash

- who gives error 7?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mammenj:
Does this recovery support installation from internal card?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] OrrPenn18:
Yes! As a normal CWM recovery!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GalaxyGusta:
I'm on the JB leak xxlsj

I'm flashing the modem through your kernel and recovery not odin

I was on the stock modem of the leak

I was trying to flash xxlpx modem

And your recovery gives me error named status 7 when I'm trying to install the modem
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Can you share the modem file please?

Maybe it is not a CWM-flashable zip file, or it tries to do some other things (replace RIL files, etc.) which lead to the error.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] GalaxyGusta:
its not relevant the file worked and flashed great with Dorimanx kernel

im not stupid it is a CWM flashable zip i took it from Cm9 thread you can download it from there no problem which mean that most likely its the recovery problem
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yahyoh:
same here :/

seems the recovery can't read the device build.prob
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
no one said you are stupid

I am willing to fix any issue. Strange as even Siyah and many other recoveries failed here. Mine will behave exactly as original from Koush in that regard as I did not alter any function there

please, post a link from where I can download the modem so I see if I can fix it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 99heitor:
Hey dude, I can't flash nothing either. At least not a ROM. I'm trying to install ParanoidAndroid and it gives the same error as the people above.

I don't know if I can't flash ROMS with this recovery... But if I'm supposed to be able to do it, do you have any tip to help me flash the ROM in another way?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
I need a link to a small zip file causing the same issue, hard to get it?

I do not have time to look in all forums to find a file no one wants to post

I can flash anything I like in my case...

Just post a direct link to that modem file and I will look at it and fix it if possible
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
exactly

You will have to remove this code from updater-script in the zip files affected:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxys2" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "galaxys2" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100M" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100M" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100M" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100P" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100P" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100P" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I9100T" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-I9100T" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "GT-I9100T");

No. You need a kernel that is compatible with CM12.1. AFAIK there are no kernels that use philz recovery for LP roms. You could try one of arnab's kernels that has TWRP, or Dorimanx by gsstudios which has CWM(I think).

Would this process still work

DeAR All,

First time I'm posting or asking on XDA. I have been reading and have went though all the steps / process to root SGS2. I got one s and I have always wanted to try out rooting and installing custom ROM, but never tried out of the fear of bricking. I Love my SGS2 to the core,my wife was giftinh me iPhone 6 and I rejected and told her never gonna change this.

So now I have thought of atleast trying and giving a hand to root and try some custom ROM. Please confirm if this would work for my SGS2.

the details of my handset are as below (after running the *#1234# code) :

PDA : I9100XWLST

PHONE : I9100DDLS9

CSC: I9100DDLSE

Build Info : Moday, April 22 16:44:57 KST 2013

I have these files with me on my PC :

1. Odin3 and above

2. philz_touch_6.12.8-i9100.tar.md5

3. 8-11_Gapps_Standard_4.4.4_signed.zip

4. cm-11-210140901-nightly-i9100.zip

Would all these help me root my SGS2 and upgrade th OS from Jellybean to Kitkat or above?

Thanks for help and reading :)
