Bootloop also here, unfortunately. But fortunately I've backupped everything before flashing. It seems that no one with XZ (F8331/F8332) succeeded in flashing this mod. Maybe it's the case to erase this file until a fix is found? Just to avoid damage with someone not backing up first...

Downloading this even though I don't have this device, because I'm trying to figure out the O deodex thing... Maybe someone can answer before I figure it out - with O, there's a bunch of 'vdex', and some other files I haven't dealt with before. I'm using Fulmics deodexer, and working fine, but not sure if I need to keep certain files. After deodexing, I'm left with deodexed jars. Do I need anything else, (in Oat, Arm, or Arm64 folders)? Thanks

edit - figured it out,.

Preparing for a clean (with loss of data) installation LineageOS 14.1 + TWRP-3.1.0-0

Attention! The warranty is now invalid.

It's to delete all your data (programs, contacts, SMS ...)

Make a backup to external media or PC first.

Preparation:

- First you need to install the drivers. The phone must be determined by the computer.

- Kies must be stopped (if it is installed on the computer).

- It is desirable to disable antiviruses, firewalls and similar software.

- Use only USB rear ports (for a laptop it does not matter).

- It is desirable to use the original cable (why - I do not know, but many so advise).

- It is desirable to charge the battery by at least 50%, full charging is welcomed.

Instruction:

1. Install Samsung_USB_Drivers_for_Mobile_Phones

2. Unzip the folder Odin3_v3.09 and transfer it to the root directory C:

Run Odin3 v3.09.exe as administrator and select all as the screenshot :

- In the PIT field, insert the file - I9100_1.5GB-System_6GB-Data_512MB-Preload_by-the.gangster.pit.zip

- In the PDA field, insert the file - lp-kernel-14-03-CWM-for + ODIN.tar

Turn off the phone. Enter the device into the boot mode by pressing simultaneously the Volume Down, OK, Power ON / OFF buttons, confirming with the Volume Up key the desire to flash.

Then, we connect the phone to the computer, the ID field: COM should light up in blue, then press the START button.

A successful solution, you will see the word "Pass"

3. Disconnect the phone from the PC, transfer it to the CWM recovery mode.

That there were no problems with the internal memory (SDcard0), we format it:

- mounts and storage -> format / storage / sdcard0 -> default

Do a full system cleaning:

- wipe data / factory reset

- mounts and storage -> format / system

4. In the recovery process, install the files:

- TWRP-3.1.0-0-recovery-the.gangster-IsoRec-i9100.zip

+

- kernel-Lanchon-20160406-i9100.zip

5. Reboot and log in to TWRP.

6. Do not forget:

ROM - https://download.lineageos.org/i9100

+

OpenGApps - http://opengapps.org/

The following files were used in this manual:

Phone bricked! Help!

Bricked my phone for the first time while following the steps here!

Need help!

This was an old phone. I had Sentinel ROM installed. I had smashed the display years ago and just got it fixed a month ago. Since it was old so I did a factory reset from the Android settings. After that I got stuck in bootloop.

Didn't get much time to tinker with it for some time, till few days ago.

I had CWM installed. So at first I tried installing LineageOS by using option "installing from sdcard" from CWM recovery(This was before coming across this tutorial). It failed that time (I had tried a few times). I tried doing factory reset, wipe dalvik, format /system etc etc couple of times.

I think it always used to come out with some error:

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Then after that I tried flashing TWRP ([RECOVERY] [ISOREC] [TWRP 3.0.2-1] [OFFICIAL] [26/04/2016]) following the 2nd installation instructions (Flash via HeimdallSuite (Windows only)) from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-t3330457

This also failed with this error:

Initialising connection...

Detecting device...

Claiming interface...

ERROR: Claiming interface failed!

Then I came across this present tutorial. I had a lot of trouble trying to get ODIN to detect the phone plugged in via USB in download mode (i.e. to get ID field: COM in blue)

Somehow after a lot of tries with different USB cables, and reinstalling drivers and restarting Windows, finally it got detected. So I carried out the instructions ditto as in guide but I faced another error:

<ID:0/014> Added!!

<ID:0/014> Odin v.3 engine (ID:14)..

<ID:0/014> File analysis..

<ID:0/014> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/014> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

<ID:0/014>

<ID:0/014> Re-Partition operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

So I unplugged the phone, closed ODIN and tried to retrace the same steps (I'm not sure if I restarted the phone during this time).

Now again it wasn't getting detected in the download mode.

So finally I switched off the phone and tried to get into Download mode. I couldn't do it. Then I realized that nothing was working. It wasn't even starting normally to the "Sentinel ROM" logo. Tried charging the phone and realized that even the charging battery icon doesn't show/indicate it is being charged.

That's when I realized that it was hard bricked (totally dead). If I plug it in charger, it gets heated up.

Can somebody please help unbrick my phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bersem:
That was a misstake !

<ID:0/014> Re-Partition operation failed.

This Tutorial [MENTION=8052153]toy_story[/MENTION] is great, so you cannot do wrong.

You have to come in download mode. Do not give up. Try it several times. If you can not make it, get a USB-JIG and try it out. You can buy it on the internet, but you can also do it yourself. For that you need quiet hands and a soldering iron.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavinch:
Yea I know the re-partition was the part where things broke.

Can't enter download mode anymore.

I guess will have to try getting a USB Jig. The only hope left I think, unless somebody has some other suggestions..

Endless boot :(

EDIT: Never mind -- I fixed it by restoring to the stock ROM and PIT file then trying again. All works perfectly now! :D

-----------------------------------------------------------

I followed the instructions here, and everything seemed to work fine with no errors. But when I finally boot the phone into Lineage OS for the first time, the animated loading image appears but the phone never boots.

I waited over 2hrs yesterday. Today I restored the original PIT, wiped the phone and tried again. The phone has been "trying" to boot for an hour now, but the boot animation just keeps on going.

:crying:

FWIW, the phone already had Lineage OS on it, but I wanted to use this installation method as it seems to increase the partition used for installed apps.

I'm not sure what to try next or how to figure out what went wrong. Can anyone help?

Notifications LED

Hello,

After performing this install, the LED that lights up when charging and whent there's notifications does not work.

Instead, the touch buttons light up. I haven't seen any options in settings to change this.

Is there any app that where I can tweak these settings? Or is it something with the recovery/kernel?

Apart from that, it works good so far!

Thanks

[MENTION=8052153]toy_story[/MENTION] At point 5, or better at the beginning (what is needed for this procedure) you should add that you need a micro SD card on hand. Wasn't obvious for me, and I didn't have one....

Other thing, my GT-I9100 just hangs at the splash screen with the yellow exclamation sign now :( I must admit that I was a bit tired yesterday while I wanted to follow the instructions (connecting it to Odin and putting all files in the designated slots worked the first time, and it also booted into the CWM recovery, I did all wipes also)... After trying to figure out how to follow step 5 I stumbled through the CWM menue and activated some option by accident (kinda annoying way to navigate it I must admit), causing the phone to reboot. And now, I'm stuck with the above mentioned scheme. At least it turns off when I hold the power button longer, turning it back on will again produce the same scheme.

I connected it again to Odin and started over from point 1 but the problem retains. What can I do?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scragnothh:
[MENTION=8052153]toy_story[/MENTION] I'm assuming now that it maybe didn't got stuck on the splash screen in the first place... You just have to manhandle it a bit, keeping those Vol+, Home and Power buttons pressed until the recovery menu appears again.

What I thought before is that the custom rom flash counter got my device stuck and therefore I further thought that I had to fix this issue first, before I could start over with installing Lineage 14.1.

How I found it out: I restored OFW, rooted the OFW, installed TriangleAway, did the flash counter reset and started over with the Lineage 14.1 install. After I installed the two ZIP files (step 5 - TWRP and kernel) inside the CWM recovery from the SD card it got stuck at the splash screen again, this time after turning it off it turned itself back on and got stuck again. I didn't want to believe it and tried what I described above:

Holding VOL+, Home and Power until the TWRP boot sequence will be displayed!

May be obvious to everyone else, but not for me who has little experience with all this stuff.

I cannot see the screenshot in the first post about Odin settings...

In the beginning I was following this tutorial but recovery flash from stock recovery failed, so it was written to look for a good alternative tutorial for Odin and I took yours.

Now I realize I cannot see the screenshot so before bricking stuff, I ask ^^

in the end I am going to put stable KK there, but the first part should be good in any case.

My understanding is that your tutorial does repartition and kernel flashing at the same time, then does the recovery and another kernel...

then you can flash your rom and gapps, is it correct and compatible with the first tutorial I was following?

I found a way to install LineageOS 14.1 from stock without PC and without getting the triagle. Normaly, after installed LineageOS 14.1, people will plug the JIG in and the triagle will be removed and the bin counter will be reset. Since Samsung released the JB update, we can't use the JIG to remove the triagle and reset bin counter anymore, some guys installed the GB bootloader and it work but after I installed stock ROM, I couldn't install anything else. Then toy_story gave me some recomendation and I figured my way. So, when you're on stock, install Framaroot or Kingroot(not recomended as it install virus) or any one-click root app and root your device. After that, download all files toy_story provided in the attachment of the thread and install Mobile Odin Pro(paid) or Mobile Odin Lite with KernelFlash. Open the Mobile Odin app, choose the "Kernel" option the navigate to the IP kernel you downloaded from the thread and scroll down, choose "what to do after flashing" option and choose reboot to recovery and choose flash file. After that, You folow instruction in the thread and you installed LineageOS 14.1 without getting the triagle and not using PC, congratulations !

Edit almost forgot, you must partition it if you are using stock pit file. I installed stock on pit file for LOS so I don't need to partition again
