Use pico
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fortytwo17:
I'm happy the new builds have been working for some. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck with anything past 5.0.2-RC-7.5-i777. Glad I made a backup! (On a side note, after so many failed attempts I'm REALLY getting tired of looking at the cyanide L boot animation.)

Is there anything I can do to offer more information so you'll know exactly what's going on? I want to help.

excellent rom with so much features, really amazing work man. finally i had the chance to try this rom but here is the thing i had to replace the boot image in the zip by the slimlp boot image so i could actually get this rom to boot normally like omni and slim ones bc i always get stuck at a blue gear after the samsung logo. i tried to give it time etc but nothing happened also i took the battery for a few seconds like two times and also same thing and i could never actually get to the recovery etc. when i replaced the boot image everything works except the wifi , so is there any way i could do so i could get this rom to boot normally without so much trouble. after all i appreciate your fantastic work man, keep it up .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Quicksilver13:
Did the phone work.... Could you make calls with the slimlp kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] microfire21:
well decided to fire up the old s2 here and give things a go on your rom. I do like it flashed everything back to stock ( resized all tables n file system back to stock sizes). downloaded the rom gaps and super su from post here and flashed in order kernal (reboot after) rom then gaps and supersu and it booted and ran fine. day 2 after battery ran down dead charged power off to full and now she heats up right after lock up really bad....went down to att store and got 3 new stock batteries (thats all they had in stock lol) and same thing lock up then she heats up bad. not sure what is the cause here been unable to get a log file to show anything before or during the lock up. Doing a great job for the old phone maybe I did something in the steps here so im going to try different steps on the other phone as well. I have two if the sgh-i777's use to run cm10 on both. any thoughts on it im all ears I would love to see 5.1 as a daily driver on the S2 my S4 drives me nuts due to its size.

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

forgot to add battery can go from 100% charge to after the lockup down to 20% yet when i throw the battery into the backup phone its still near 90% just finding it odd. But after wiping the old battery data from rom so it can make a new one it shows the right charge level.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aabmass:
Thanks! Pico unfortunately didn't help. Any way to change the sizes of the partitions created when flashing?

On another note, I'm also experiencing some of the problems (freezes, reboots, etc) that others mentioned. What is the most stable version of this rom and does anyone have a link? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xtmp:
There is no Google Now (using gapps pico), but the outgoing calls bug is still present.

Then I downloaded google now from google play, installed and disabled it, but still no luck.

Tapping speakerphone helps, but it's not the way.

PS. Using latest [ROM][5.1] OMNI - i777 [UNOFFICIAL] beta, CynideL still not booting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sirbarky:
The outgoing call bug fix was to disable full hotword detection in google voice input. After a reboot it had worked for me at the time I tested it. Not sure when or what I did, but it is not working anymore.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
So I've tried everything to install this ROM on my own. I was previously on SuperNexus (see sig below). I Odin'd back to stock Gingerbread with root using Entropy's old 1-click, flashed Siyah 2.0 for custom recovery via Mobile Odin (to avoid tripping my counter), then booted in to recovery, wiped data/cache/dalvik and flashed Shift-Eternal successfully (still on stock Gingerbread ROM, but that shouldn't matter). Rebooted recovery, and after several tries recovery boots up and I'm able to flash stuff. So I wipe again for good measure and try to flash CyanideL. It mounts the SD card fine but while installing I get "E: Error in /storage/sdcard0/cyanide-5.1-RC-11.2-i777.zip (Status 0)" and it hangs there. It's not the first time I've seen this error either trying to flash CyanideL. Google searches return nothing on a Status 0 error. Does anyone know what this means or why I can't flash the darned thing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Pull a recovery log. I plan to have a new build up tonight or tomorrow with new pa pie addition
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
I probably won't have that done for you before tomorrow, seeing as A) I'm working on other stuff and it's late and B) I never learned how to pull recovery logs lol. If you got a link that can point me in the right direction on how to do that, I'll get it done when I can for you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I actually got that error when I tried to flash this too. It turned out to be the recovery I was using wasn't updated enough to be able to flash it. I was used to seeing the Status 7 but this Status 0 surprised me. After finding an updated kernel or recovery (i forget which I used right now), I was able to flash it successfully.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
Holy crap, you're still around here?! I remember seeing your posts in these forums helping people out way long ago lol.

Anyways, yeah I figured I was using an outdated kernel/recovery, but I just tried going through multiple kernels, starting from Siyah and installing incrementally through jeboo (Jellybean) and then RenderBroken's CM-11 (Kit Kat). Those all installed fine, but it's when I flash either Shift-Eternal kernel or CyanideL (which includes a more recent version of Shift kernel) that I have trouble. Once that flash completes and I try booting into recovery, I run into problems. Most of the time recovery never fully boots, I either hang at an image of a blue speedometer, or it bootloops to that image. Rarely, I can actually get the PhilZ touch recovery to boot (by toying with the battery and doing multiple reboots with the keys held), and when I do I can operate it as normal, I just can't flash anything, either the internal SD card won't mount or I get that Status 0 error.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aabmass:
I see that other people have had issues with overfilling the storage on this rom because of the small system partition. Has anyone had success with this technique for re-sizing the partitions? http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2-att/general/guide-partition-i777-phone-data-storage-t2839161

I've tried "MOVE TO SD CARD", link2sd and similar apps, etc. to copy over installed apps to internal storage. I'd try with an actual SD card, but mine doesn't seem to work anymore. Anyone have a technique along these lines that doesn't involve re-sizing partitions?

Thanks for the new builds! Great to have this working with lollipop!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skebodan:
This ROM is awesome. Having Lollipop on my old SGS2, Nice. You developers are the best.

Only problem I have is that my phone's data does not work.

Every time I attempt to open up the Mobile Settings, that app crashes.

Mobile data does not work at all, and as for text messages that only works when I'm connected to WiFi of some sort.

Will flash the latest build in hopes that it fixes the issue.

Thanks,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Yeah I'm still around, lurking and occasionally posting, most of my time now is dedicated to real estate as that's my new career. I'm 99% sure the recovery I flashed was one of these three, here's a link to them via OneDrive. Sorry I can't off hand remember which one exactly it was.http://1drv.ms/1Ewl1Eh I've flashed them all and they're all safe and work though lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xtmp:
Yes, its work. But [ROM][5.1] OMNI - i777 [UNOFFICIAL] beta not boot, when not stock partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Norcalz71:
apologies for the very basic question, just want to make sure I do this right:

My S4 power button died, and I'm waiting on the LG G4 release before a new phone (that or the international S6). I have my mom's old S2, totally stock, never rooted, never flashed, CLL6 baseband and 4.0.4 OS.

Can I just flash this ROM like usual via CWM from CLL6/4.0.4 after using the creepycrawly/heimdall root method for CLL6 and then flashing a custom kernel that has CWM? My experience is with the S4 mostly, so I am not super familiar with the recovery within the kernel thing and don't want to brick this phone as it is now my backup which I need to use. It seems the kernel version must match the OS version/baseband you are on - does flashing this ROM update both accordingly? I think the steps should be:

Factory Reset S2

Download Heimdall

Download [Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCLL6 Stock ICS 4.0.4 with Root

Use Heimdall to flash the UCLL6 Stock 4.0.4 with Root

Use MobileOdin to Flash Custom Kernel that has CWM

Flash this ROM via CWM

Does this seem correct (and also is this the most simple/straightforward way to get there)? Also if I totally bork this, should I be able to use Odin to get back to the very original stock, pre-OTA firmware for the S2 (that would have come at release) and start over?

Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yosmokinman:
^That should work. And yes you can return to stock.The files are in creepyncrawly's download repository.

Easiest way would probably be to put the files on the phone (this rom, gapps and a new kernel like shift just for the new recovery) then just flash an older kernel that comes as a .tar with Odin (PDA slot).

I know Siyah has a .tar and Entropy's old Daily Driver kernel would probably work. Obviously these won't boot the phone, shut it off after flashing with odin and boot straight to recovery with the three button combo.

Then simply flash the new kernel from the old kernel/recovery you flashed through odin, reboot to the now new recovery and flash rom as normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Norcalz71:
Interesting - so you can flash the "incompatible" kernel which contains the CWM recovery with Odin right away and you will not be able to boot to the OS, but you can boot to recovery? Then just boot CWM recovery and flash this ROM, gapps and kernel through the "incompatible" cwm/kernel flashed via Odin?

For the kernel compatibility, is it specific to the OS # ie a 4.0.4 OS requires a 4.0.4 kernel, 4.4.4 OS requires 4.4.4 kernel, etc.?

Been awhile since I used Odin and never dealt with this type of kernel/recovery/OS relationship.

Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yosmokinman:
^Yes almost. From the old recovery you flash the new kernel that has a new recovery, capable of flashing these new roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Norcalz71:
10-4, so Odin flash old kernel with recovery (which one?) which will not allow the phone to boot and then CWM flash the new kernel with recovery (also which one?) that will work with this 5.1.1 ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Take this into the Q&A section and you'll get more help, plus this isn't rom related. Create a thread over there and we'll jump in and help (having said that the advice you've already gotten from yos has been spot on).

Not working for me...

Hi all,

First, thanks to rogersb11 for making this a reality.

I was coming from KK 4.4.4 (CM11 M11 ported from I900 with TRIM fix) and tried flashing both cyanide-5.0.2-RC-7.5-i777.zip and cyanide-5.1-RC-10.5-i777.zip builds because they were the most downloaded, but I always got stuck at the Cyanide L boot animation. I waited 5-10 to get past the animation to no avail. I flashed these builds multiple times, so I ensured the newest recovery was being used for the flash. Also, I immediately flashed GAPPS Pico after the ROM flash.

I have a repartitioned filesystem to make more system/data space (haven't had issues with this in 4.4.4) and I followed the instructions in the first post to the word. I made sure to wipe data/cache and format system. The only bizarre thing is that during flashing of the ZIP in the recovery, I see a message saying that it detected ext4 in a certain block or something, but it seems to proceed fine afterwards.

I had to restore from a Nandroid backup I did before this whole attempt.

Has anyone encountered this? Any ideas?

[MENTION=5554845]rogersb11[/MENTION]

Its been a long time since I've been here. Decided to stop back and give this a try on my phone. I'm currently running pure CM11 Snapshot M10, 4.4.4 Kitkat. It has version CWM Recovery 6.0.5.0. No custom kernel installed. No custom formating, nothing. Just the ROM and the Kernel and Recovery that comes with the ROM.

I've read page 1 but it doesn't state if coming from 4.4.4 any kind of pre-reqs. Do I need to install any other type of recovery first or anything else first before just flashing this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Yes you need either the philz with my kernel or an updated twrp from Cyril
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
Can you be so kind as to point me to philz as I can't find one for I777. I'm browsing your uploads but can't seem to find where it is located. Also not sure I understand, so I need a philz recovery and install a new kernel or just an updated Twrp recovery? What is 'your' kernel? Shift? There are multiple Shifts and I don't know which one to use?

Sorry, been gone a long time and can't find anything on this forum. It would be really nice if you included the links on the OP if upgrading from your 4.4.4 CM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
I'm out and about. Yes shift kernel, any of the versions after late October included the recovery or as mentioned you can use an updated twrp by flashing the slim kernel posted in this thread a few pages back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
I'll just wait until you get back in as I'm running out too. I bootlooped my phone once, no recovery mode available, not doing it again. If you have time to update the OP with instructions coming from CM 4.4.4 with links that would be great.

Still not understanding all of it. IF I go here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=22095

Do I need to just install Shift-ETERNAL-Lollipop.zip.

Steps from 4.4.4

Install Shift Eternal Lollipop in recovery

reboot back into recovery

Do all the wipes

Flash Rom

Flash Gapps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
You got it, that's it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jackal2001:
OK, did all that. Booted it up, I didn't install any Gapps. Booted, showed Cyanide L logo over and over and then just seemed to lock up with a blue circular bunch of lines in the middle of the screen. I don't know if it is doing anything or if it is locked up.

EDIT: Yanked the battery, now it seems to be booting. It is optimizing apps but now locking up when optimizing apps. Keeps locking up during a boot, never completes a full boot. Went back to 4.4.4. This isn't ready for prime time.

I think I may have bricked my phone. I've been running this ROM for several weeks now, and haven't had any issue. However, last few days I neglected to charge my phone, and it ran out of battery. Now I am stuck on a continuous battery loop, and my phone won't charge.

I can't get to recovery. All I can see is the battery charging icon for a second, and then it powers off.

Any suggestions? I am tempted to try to power the phone with my computer directly, using a stripped microusb cable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] radoo7701:
I had this issue several times when i use the original battery. Switching batteries should fix it. Once it reboots you should be able to switch back and charge the other again.

Thanks buddy. I just ordered a new battery. I'll let you know the result.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mvi57:
You could also try taking the battery out, booting into download mode via holding both volume up and down, and plugging in a USB cable. Once the phone is in download mode, put the battery back in and see if it charges. It may take a while to charge from fully dead.

Just use airplane to enter your apn and you don't have to do it again. Not sure what your issue is here lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fortytwo17:
i did that.

Although I'm able to select the right apn settings, they do not work. And attempting to make calls gives me "cellular network not available" then disconnect/reconnects (then to add just to annoy me I have a voicemail notification that goes off several times in succession) . incoming calls work fine, gonna try a text message next text messaging works fine. Data apparently works, but the i had to use the att.mnvo setting instead of tfdata. (Straight Talk)

The funny thing is I've used the other apn settings for a LONG time with this sim. anyway it's down to just the problem with outgoing calls. Thanks for making me take another look at it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I didn't experience that issue while I was running Cyanide, although, admittedly I didn't run it for very long.

I can say that I did NOT install a gapps package because I was running stock partitioning at the time, and couldn't find a package small-enough. Some packages would partially flash, but would cause FC's and other undesired behaviors. That said, have you experienced this behavior on a clean installation WITHOUT Gapps?
