hello all
i just upgraded to the Tmobile GS2 from my trusty old Nexus One. I must say I do miss my good ol' nexus but i am truly falling in love with the beast that is the GS2!
anyways, after having the device for you know, 10 hours, I decided it was time to root it. The root went smoothly, CWM, Titanium, and SU are all working properly.
However, I have tried to flash several kernels but I am not able to overclock using any overclocking app, and in ABOUT PHONE it says im just on kernel 2.6.35.11. Making me think that the kernel flash did not happen , although it did say that it was completed successfully each time. I have noticed bits and pieces of other people having a similar issue, although I havent found a fix.
Does anyone know why my GS2 wont take to the kernel I am flashing over it?
That's weird have you flashed bullet or synergy kernels cause they have boot animation, and so you will no 4Shore if it stuck. Also in about phone you will see the bullet or synergy.

ah yes thank you for reminding me I forgot to mention this.
YES I DO GET THE BOOT ANIMATIONS. But nothing in ABOUT PHONE and SetCPU or any other similar app cant change the Governor or Max/Min settings.....Im super confused
Can you post a link to the kernel you're trying to install? Only certain ones are compatible with the Stock image you're running.
Are you wiping cache/dalvik? If yes, when?

I have tried to install (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348007) BULLET versions 2.9b and 2.7b! I have also tried the newest Synergy (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333128) kernel.
I have been wiping cache from CWM after flashing kernel. The only way I know to wipe dalvik is from flashing via rom manager, but I dont like doing that so much. Should I be? Thank you for your help already, I will do whatever you tell me to lol
I should also note that I am not looking to run a custom ROM, at least not at this time. I have my stuff already set up very nicely and would like to keep everything as is (no wipe) , just get that kernel working....
This time, try going to "Advanced" while in CWM; then 'Wipe Dalvik Cache', you might get an ext-sd card error, but your dalvik will still wipe; and then try flashing the kernel.
If that fails, goto "Mounts and Storage" and wipe your cache partition, then dalvik, THEN try flashing.
Get back to us! Always nandroid backup before this procedure as well.
A lot of the custom roms here (with the exception of juggernaut) show a static name for the kernel, regardless of which one you have installed. Juggernaut is the only one that will show the true kernel version. You may very well have installed the new kernel, and just can't tell because the name doesn't show up in about phone.

Thank you! Your first method appears to have worked for me. I can now OC. Related question, what are the details on the new smartassv2 governor and lagfree governor. How do you all find that they compare to the interactive governor, which I am used to using on my N1.
During the time of me writing this response, my phone restarted itself automatically, something that has been happening with the my S2 regardless of which kernel (even stock), do you all experience this aswell? is there a fix?
to mstrk242: thank you for this note, I did not realize.
Hey all can't post in the rom's thread so here will have to do hope someone can answer this.
Got the rom working fine. The issue is A.) I lose CMW
why? and is there a guide for installing cmw standalone without flashing a kernel?
B.) gapps don't appear even though i def flashed them as OP said to.
Permutations tried so far:
- OP verbatim
- OP + F10AOKP kernal as recommended in OP
Thanks to any and all
using cwm with an ics kernel has been causing bricks. It happened to me once already had the have best buy replace my phone. Most devs aren't packing cwm with ics kernels for the time being this may change but for now its safer this way. When I need to flash something I use mobile Odin to flash back to el26 then I wipe cache flash what I need then flash an aosp kernel : ) and boot

Thanks for clearing that up for me! Also I figured out my gapps issue some trial and error led me to follow CM9's gapps link and that did the trick.
you lose your recovery because of two related reasons:
1) on this device (not sure if it applies to all samsung devices, though i think it does apply to most), kernel and recovery are packaged together and therefore always flashed at the same time. when you flash a kernel, you always lose whatever recovery you had before.
1.1) since you flashed aokp, which includes a kernel, you therefore lost your recovery because of reason 1. no big. next time you need to flash something over AOKP or make a nandroid, just odin el26 kernel which includes cwm (search for it, not gonna link it), and do your thing. just remember to reflash the ROM before rebooting cuz el26 is a gb kernel which wont work with aokp (because it's ICS).
Also you should read the first couple post in the thread....it explains what is what with the ROM and that it doesn't have cwm ...etc

I am fairly new to Android, but am comfortable with command line operation on other Unix systems, etc. I read every thread I can find on this, but did not find my problem described exactly (there are some similar problems), so here it is:
My phone is a GSM Galaxy Nexus, about a month old. I rooted and unlocked it right away using post 1 from this guide: [VZW/SPRINT/GSM][Guide] Ultimate Galaxy Nexus Guide (Unlock/Root/Flash Roms/FAQ) - thanks Jubakuba!
I did NOT use any of the toolkits or automated methods.
A couple of days ago, I decided to try loading another ROM. I read through post 2 of the above guide. I followed the instructions in that thread and flashed a Trinity ROM. The flash seemed to go fine, and completed normally, but when I rebooted the phone, it was stuck in the Google Lock screen bootloop. I was able to restore a nandroid to get it back to where it was before, and the phone operates normally, no resets, reboots, nada. I inquired in Jubakubas thread as well as in the Trinity ROM thread in the developers section, and got some suggestions, which I tried. None of them worked. I also tried flashing a few other ROMS, a CM9 ROM and the RASCREAM ROM, and they all do the same thing. I have tried flashing these without wiping data or cache or dalvik cache, wiping some of them and wiping all of them, and the results are always the same - boot loop, which I can restore using CWM recovery and my nandroid.
One of the posters in the developers forum suggested taking the phone back to unrooted stock condition, so I did that, using this thread: [HOW-TO] [GSM & CDMA] Convert to latest yakju/takju/mysid build / Return to stock - another excellent guide, which worked exactly as described.
After that, my phone was back to as new, and I had to go through the whole start-up and restore applications, etc. I made a new nandroid so that recovery would be relatively painless, etc. Not too tough. I then Rooted the phone (it was always unlocked) and tried flashing a ROM again, with exactly the same results. Again, I was able to restore my nandroid and get back to operational.
I guess my question at this point is what on earth could be causing this? Some of the threads on boot loops where peoples phones start to boot loop spontaneously suggest a hardware problem, but the fact that I have NEVER had a boot loop in a month of use while running 4.0.4 stock rooted and unlocked seems to point more toward software as the cause. I will say one thing - I am learning how to use CWM and the bootloader commands! But, I would really like to be able to use some custom ROMS, not that there is anything really wrong with stock - this is a great phone. But, please HELP!

Okay, I booted into fastboot mode, then flashed the bootloader (bootloader-maguro-primela03.img) and radio (radio-maguro-i9250xxla02.img). I rebooted the bootloader, then went into recovery mode. From recovery mode, I selected "Install zip from sd card", "Choose zip from sd card", then selected the zip file in the /Download folder "TNP1536-384-Alpha86b-4.7-lto.zip". It went through its' install and said "System successfully corrupted" at the end and "Install from sdcard complete." I went back to reboot system rom and rebooted. Now, it is not looping anymore, but just sitting at the Google lock screen for about 2 minutes now. I will wait a few more minutes to see if it boots the rest of the way or starts looping, etc.
Okay, it has been 5-6 minutes with no additional changes, so I am pulling the battery. Powering it on now results in the same boot loop as before, so I will need to boot into bootloader mode and restore my nandroid.
are you wiping data when you flash the rom?
if not, you need to do that first inside of cwm
I would let it sit longer before pulling the battery

Anytime you flash a different ROM, you need to wipe - not optional. If you don't, you will have problems.

The

Please freak out now
is a joke. By your account the kernel flashed successfully. Try flashing another kernel, perhaps not an Alpha version, although I've run that particular Alpha successfully. Do you have an app that sets kernel settings on boot by chance?
Hmmm thats a Kernel i think try another kernel.. Franco is a option ... maybe ur phone can't handle the undervolt of Trinity? I don't know worth a try download franco and post ur results here
Good luck
Is the Rom in the nandroid you're always restoring to something else than 4.0.3 or. 4 based? That would cause trinity to boot loop as it doesn't work on anything lower.
Aside try wiping everything (factory reset + format system under mounts and storage), then flashing something that is considered fairly stable like an aokp milestone build and see if you can boot it without flashing any custom kernel before. Report back

I have tried this both ways. Wiping prior to flashing does not seem to be as universally accepted as you indicate. For example, in the Trinity ROM dev forum, a number of the more senior posters have the opinion that you should never wipe prior to flashing, that is is an un-necessary step. I do not personally know one way or the other, so I will make sure I wipe prior to flashing from now on.

Perhaps they meant if flashing an update of the same ROM (?), just guessing. Even then it can be a good idea sometimes; new Android version (i.e. 4.0.3 > 4.0.4), significant framework changes, etc... but I err on the "safe" side.
Updating to the next nightly of CM9 I wipe absolutely nothing.

Yes, pretty much this. If you are updating CM9 to the next build, no need to wipe. If you are going from CM9 to AOKP, then you need to wipe.
Updating: no need to wipe.

Just had a thought. Trinity is the unofficial support thread for Rascream (by Rascarlo), and Morfic did make a build of Rascream with the Linaro 4.7 tool chain.

You are correct, it is a kernel, not a ROM. I have tried 3 different Trinity kernels and one Franco kernel, all with the same results. The specific kernel I flashed for post #3 was TNP-1536-384-ALPHA86b-4.7-LTO.zip. The other two I tried were both stable releases. Morfic asked me to try the alpha kernel.

Re: wiping, since we now know that we're just talking kernel here, wiping dalvik + wiping cache is indeed approaching useless, so they weren't leading you astray. I can't think of what would be causing you to boot loop however.

SUCCESS! I followed your advice (mostly - I did not factory reset + format system) and d/led AOKP Milestone 5 + GAPPS, flashed bootloader and radio from the bootloader, wiped data / reset, wiped dalvik cache, and booted into recovery and installed both zip files. It booted fine, and I am grabbing my apps and configuring now. I will let you know how it performs and use it for a few days. I will likely head in the Rascream / Trinity direction after using this one for a bit. But thank you to all who have posted.

This got me thinking: is trinity even compatible with a stock ROM (regardless of it being 4.0.4)? Maybe that is why you were having issues.
Hi all,
Since installing cwm a week ago i started experimenting with different kernels and mods. However i noticed that my phone is somehow rejecting some mods/kernels. I run stock jb yakju image with cwm 6.1.1.0 and at the moment fugumod kernel 505 stable. I succeeded at running Franco and trinity 1420-535 previously but that's about it. Airkernel, tuna kernel, even the same version of trinity but with lower clock speeds was rejected. I always get a Google splash screen bootloop. Only way to get rid of it is flash another kernel over it or restore a nandroid. I always wipe the cache and the dalvik cache prior to install. Is there a way to make my phone accept that kernels? And is it my phone fault out the kernels. I'm using a gsm international version.
Thanks in advance!

dont wipe anything when flashing kernels.. not your cache, nor your dalvik. if it wont pass the splash screen, i suggest that you reflash your rom and the kernel together then try to boot. sometimes if its not booting, taking your battery out for a minute then putting it back in and booting up works. also, sometimes you have to be a little more patient, giving it more time to boot. if you are flashing any kernel after flashing franco kernel, you have to flash your rom with the next kernel(for the first flash), because franco kernel uses its own ramdisk. most other kernels use anykernel which grabs the available ramdisk, you want it to grab your roms ramdisk. thats where franco kernel keeps franco kernel tweaks which would interfere with other kernels.
I indeed started with the franco kernel. So you are basically telling me that next time i should wipe nothing, reflash my Rom, then reflash my kernel hand reboot. But how do i flash a stock Rom? Is the Google image flashable? And do i get to keep all my stuff etc on my device?

there are a few stock plus root roms floating around, you can flash those over stock. yea, im telling you to wipe nothing. wiping cach/dalvik is like buying your child a swing set when preparing to fill your cars gas tank up. they have nothing to do with each other. btw, thats only with frano kernel, all the other kernels you can just flash on top of each otger and not worry about it. none of your stuff will get lost unless you wipe data/factory reset, and theres no need for that.
maybe that explains why trinity gave me battery drain after installing it after franco?
and to respond to OP no phone is built the same. Your phone won't accept EVERY kernel. Its just something you have to accept (from my experience)
For example every android phone i've owned has reacted poorly to undervolting but for those kernel devs who do it don't have a problem with it. U never know how your phone might react

Still, the phone locks up and it generally locks up while I am on a call. It generally doesnt lock up while using an app or browsing.

Hey man,
My suggestion is to use Odin to flash the stock image back to stock and see if the problem persists. If it does, I'd take it back to at&t for a new phone (if you've had it less than a year or you have some sort of insurance plan.)

If flashing back to stock fixes it, its user error. Make sure you're up to date on everything, I.e boot loader, recovery, everything. If that does nothing for you maybe try flashing the new version of CWM and see if it'll flash right that way.

Hey man,
If you're going to be flashing custom ROMs you should probably learn what a kernel is. Use the search feature or simply use google. In fact, the xda TV channel just put out a video on kernels this week on YouTube.
Anyways, as I said previously, make sure EVERYTHING is up to date. Including the ROM version. Dont worry about flashing kernels until you have a solid understanding of what they are. I'm almost positive that you are just flashing out of order. Just start from scratch, make sure EVERYTHING is up to date. Good luck.

So, the plan is to

- install the Bionic Sheep 4.2.2 Kernel
- install ROM (I'll try Hyperdrive and DeadlyVenom and LiquidSmooth again)
- install Google Apps...
I have TeamWin installed obviously.

Hyperdrive and Deadly venom are touchwiz ROMs, u can't flash bionic sheep with them!!! And u don't need to flash gapps with tw ROMs either!!
Also, u need to flash a kernel after u flash the ROM, otherwise it will be overwritten by the stock kernel for whatever particular ROM u are flashing. I would suggest sticking with the stock kernel for a bit and see how it runs!

What the guy above me said about TW roms is correct. Flashing the wrong kernel is not a good idea. Here's what I do on every flash
- wipe system, data, caches, etc.
- flash rom( and gapps if necessary)
- boot up rom and let it settle for 5 min, then boot back into recovery
-flash correct kernel for the rom's version(check kernel number in about device and custom kernels op), then wipe both caches and fix permissions.
-reboot and enjoy:laugh:

Like I said, I would suggest sticking with the packaged kernel that comes with whatever ROM that you are going to flash, run it for a few days, after that if u still feel the need for something more, go with a custom kernel! Ktoonsez makes an excellent kernel, one for tw, and one for aosp, u just have to pick the right one according to which ROM you're running!! Good luck...

What?
What DMF1977 was saying is just flash the ROM you desire to have on your device and just run the kernel that comes with the ROM. After running the ROM you chose for awhile, if you feel the need to flash a new kernel then and only then flash the correct version of Ktoonsez kernel. And its not surprising that if you tried to flash anything AOKP related with TW you got an error.
Just flash an AOKP ROM and Dont worry about flashing an additional kernel.
Goodluck
