[Galaxy S II Android Development] heywheelie:
I am using a stock ROM on my i9100 rooted with PhilZ kernel. As I understand it, If I want to install any kitkat ROM I need to update the recovery to a newer version. Is it possible to update my PhilZ recovery with a kitkat compatible one? If so how?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Check the installation instructions of the KK ROM thread you want to flash.

Usually, there is a description and sometimes already a link to a kernel with the latest CWM recovery (CM kernel, Gustavo kernel, etc.).

Hi to all,

This is my first post here, so if i am not supposed to ask this question, please forgive me. :angel:

I would like to no, if you could make Philz Kernel compatible with this Rom:

I9100XWMS1_I9100BSELS3_BSE

Download: http://terafile.co/440946a90b0e/I9100XWMS1_I9100BSELS3_BSE.zip

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] heywheelie:
I think you'll find there is already one there. The latest PhilZ kernel v5.15.9 XWMS1 should be the one. Check out the third post in this topic for the link.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] noobgs2:
I must have looked with my eyes closed, i did not see that one. :rolleyes:

Have a look here for the XWLSY kernel version.

Yes, it's the easiest way IMO.

Just download the signed kernel zip file and save it on your external sd card.

Then boot into recovery and flash it :fingers-crossed:

Just one question ...i am on 4.1.2 neat rom right now and wanted to try 4.4.x out someday ..well i read that for this i need CW 6.0.4.5 ..or something like that, which happens only to exist on Kitkat Kernels. Isn't it possible to make a Kernel which work with both JB and kitkat ...so coming from TW 4.1.2 and 4.4 is no Problem ..i hope u understood what i was trying to say.

thx

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Since I was on it, I tried to repack the MS2 kernel and older LSZ with new cm-11.0 recovery

It will not boot, so probably needs a newer kernel

So, at least I can now say I did not drop updating stock kernels, I just cannot repack them the way I was doing

No time to ever dig into it sadly

I will keep updating eventual new releases with last 5.15.9
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Arafeh94:
does i need to be rooted to flash this kernel via stock recovery ?

and can i use it to flash cm 11 ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
to flash cm-11, use the cm-11 version, reboot into recovery and have fun
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Arafeh94:
PhilZ can you please give the download link for the specific recovery you tell about with the most secured cm 11 version that people tried it and succeed

note: i see there is only one recovery for the cm version and lots for stock i'm new to s2 and i don't want to brick it so which one to choose

[Galaxy S II Android Development] khal_nayak:
i have some confusion regarding moving to cyanogenmod 10.1 or 10.2 from the stock ROM LSW, im currently on stock LSW with the appropriate PhilZ kernel for it, im planning to move to CM10 for now and probably CM11 later on so in order to be able to flash CM do i need to change to the PhilZ CM kernel and then flash CM or i can be in current situation and be able to boot into recovery and do a factory reset and flash CM without issues?

is the PhilZ CM kernel meant to be used in CM as a kernel or is it just the recovery portion only without any kernel in it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cali.s:
you can do it From your current recovery

you need change it only for cm 11

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kirsebaer:
Sorry to ask but I can't find heads or tails in this. I found this thread through a youtube video, showing how to get root by the use of a single zip file. However, now I see several different versions and I'm not sure which one to download. I understand that I have to find one that matches my kernel, but neither XWMS1 or XXMS4 is in the list, so I'm positive I'm doing something wrong. Can someone point me in the right direction? My phone version is the following.

Best regards, a frustrated user :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:

awesome new features..

finally can integrated to my own kernel with some trick coz i dont know how u hidden some recovery files :p

just need some fix on background :D

about backg.res its a blank file or same file on recovery mode sir?

thanks for ur advice and ur work..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
backg.res is a special file holding background color options. It is needed in recovery for custom background colour

"Hidden" files are appended to end of zImage and read using a special binary on entering recovery. That's needed when you repack a stock or existing zImage to fit things without altering any offset

All is done through xiaolu unpack/repack script. Look at the init.rc and recovery loader scripts to understand how they are restored when booting into recovery

Hi ,

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
There was never any secret

It was already explained in this thread and all tools are on github

I quickly tried a repack with new recovery and it failed to boot into recovery

To rule out kernel bug, I will try directly use the stock kernel during compiling and see if it works.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Well, killing the last hope:

I tried to build new version with temporary flash zip solution

---> it won't load on stock kernel base

So, since I no longer support 10.1 builds, there is no hope from my side to update stock samsung kernels

I will release my recoveries in the form of update.zip for developers to easily integrate them in their kernels

Our phone (SGS2 - GT-I9100) has no separate recovery partition.

So we can not flash recovery only ... it's build in the kernel (zImage).

Either it is the recovery for developers to include in their custom kernels, or it's a temporarily recovery ... no permanent.

I'm not sure and won't test it ;)

Hi, after much headbanging I think you answered my question for me! :mad:

I was trying to have my ROM (Cyanfox) paired up with kernel (Dorimanx latest test build) and recovery [Philz]. :highfive:

I was flashing Philz and I thought I could subsequently flash Dorimanx to have a different kernel paired up with Philz recovery rather than the bundled CM kernel [bear with me! :silly:]

I guess due to the partition architecture on the SII, it simply is not possible to pick and choose what kernel you have separate to the recovery? It is a bundled choice, end of? :crying:

Dorimanx only supports CWM and I wanted to use Philz for the TWRP support. :cyclops: Guess I will have to stay with CWM on Dorimanx, by the looks of it. :confused:

I'll stop now, before I enter another loop like I have been between the two choices the last few hours. :D

well, in my opinion, Samsung really dropped the ball by not putting kk on the s2. even if they don't want to put in the effort, there are so many talented developers here, they should just give the sources to one or some and some substantial money, then turn them loose. we all know the miracle work that would come from that. then again, maybe Samsung realizes they would be put to shame.

Check here for a short description of how to flash a stock ROM.

There are also download links for latest firmwares.

If the one for XXLSJ dows not work, consider flashing another firmware version.

XXLSJ was the first, unofficial, leaked, only for testing Android 4.1.2 firmware for the SGS2.

So I recommend to flash a newer, more stable and official version, such as XWMS1 or XWMS2 (or XWMS3).

Officially released firmware version can also be downloaded from SamMobile.com.
