[Q] I'm Novice and need some help with BeastMOD 4.0

Hello Everyone,
I'm novice and received my SGSII last week. I was able to rooted with odin method. After reading review on this forum, i want to update my ROM to BeastMod 4.0 and kernel to Faux .006 but bit worried about the method.
Can someone who has above combination flash on their T-mobile SGSII phone can help me to correct steps.
My main concerns are:
1. When i flash BeastMod 4.0 ROM will it also flash synergy kernel? If yes, then how can i reflash only kernel because i want to use Faux .006 kernel.
2. If i do step#1, hoping it will wipe out all the default T-mobile factory apps, what is the best way to save all the apps and needed informations.
It might sound stupid questions but I wanted to be on safer side and dont want to crew my phone.
Thanks in advance.

Use titanium backup to backup apps+data. You can YouTube a tutorial or read around the forums here for a guide. Then boot into cwm and do a nandroid backup. Then you're ready to flash.
1. Wipe data, cache
2. Flash the ROM
3. Flash the kernel you want
4. Wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions
5. Reboot, let it sit for 10 mins
6. Reboot.
7. restore data+apps from titanium
There are better guides out there, this is more of a quick overview.

I always do the boot routine before flashing a new kernel. I think I remember reading that somewhere and ive done it ever since. Also when wiping in clockwork mod I like to format system to ensure a 100% clean flash. You could private message me if you have any questions!

I would recommend becoming very familiar with booting into cwm by the 3 button combo. This could be really important not bashing rom manager but I used to use it and when running into problems with my vibrant I found the. Button combo to boot recovery was a much better way and u also control everything u do that way ... just a heads up

I take a slightly "cleaner" approach to wiping, but similar. One thing that's missing is the "system" partition from your steps. Which is under the "Mounts and Storage" option.
I recommend wiping the "/system", "/cache" and "/data" partitions in there. (I always do each twice, to ensure full wipage)

I recommend you purchase one, but you are able to backup to your internal SD.
Not really a true "backup", but it'll work.
Just hit "backup" and it'll tell you where it's going.

Thanks and I'm familiar with this steps as i spent lot time in reading, just to get familiar before i do anything.
I thought flashing rom will wipe out everything installed on the phone currently? If that is true then how TI will able to restore data+apps.?

Before you wipe everything you use titanium to backup all your apps and data. it stores it all on your internal storage (by default I believe). After you flash the ROM, you use titanium which will auto detect the backup and allow you to restore everything.
Edit: the wipe doesn't delete the internal storage. At least when I wipe it doesn't. I'm still a noob at this stuff too

Correct.
Just be sure to backup and it doesn't matter if you screw something up or not (and by backup I mean a backup in CWM as well as Titanium) I don't even bother with Titanium.

You think BeastMod with Synergy Kernel and Juggernaut with fauxs new kernel are good combination?
On Juggernaut development thread people complaint many issue compare to BeastMod, offcourse its also new compare to Juggernaut. But i really like fauxs new kernel and dying to flash on my phone.
I haven't seen any incompatibility between BeastMod + Fauxz new kernel combination and its working flawless unless you have discovered or someone found some issue.

I'm also using beastmod 4 with faux's latest kernel (.006 r2), no problems so far

I don't see much issues being reported on Juggernaut...Been using it until CM7 Alpha came out and i never had any issues with that ROM.

BeastMOD II 4.0 with Faux123 006 r2 kernel give me superior battery and performance. I tried Juggernaut 3.7 with Bullet kernel but battery life seem to be shorter.

uninstall custom kernel

i'm planning on installing GLaDOS kernel today, and i'm currently running codename android.
if anything goes wrong, or i want to switch to another, how do i go back to the stock kernel.
Also, does a CWMR backup backup the custom kernel as well?

yes, the CWMR backups everything, including the kernel, so that would be your best bet

oh okay. so i could do a backup before i flash the kernel, and then if anything goes wrong, just restore that backup. correct?

Correct or to go even farther you can just restore that kernel only. In that advanced section on the restore menu, restore boot.img

very awesome. thanks!

Great posts guys!
Question, is it best to reset the kernel every time change you change it? I've had some issues with kernels and this may be the problem.
I feel like in theory there's bits and pieces of things in there that I need to clean. Haha. What's the best way to do that?
Thanks in advance.

I would check /system/etc/init.d; If there are any scripts from previous kernel there, delete them through adb or prefered method.
Also, in that folder, you may find other scripts, for example voltage settings @boot from 3rd party apps like setcpu, you should also remove those (if you use them at all)
You're asking about when changing custom kernels, right? When I switch kernels, I don't reflash stock kernel first. I just flash one custom kernel on top overwriting the installed one.

Oh ok thanks man.
I've only ever set min and max cpu stuff. Never any voltage settings. So I van probably go over with no worries yeah?
So you know what the build number is for stock kernel on 4.0.3?
Thanks again man.

sorry, setting min/max cpu freq at boot time also places a script in /system/etc/init.d/, so I'd look out for those as well, forgot to specify those, as they may also cause conflicts with your current rom/next kernel. as always, you can open those scripts in a text editor and see what they're doing or will do on boot.
not sure on the release version/numbers though..my guess is that the easiest way is to repo sync 4.0.3 tag from aosp, that will have stock kernel version planned for that release.

Can someone post a CWM flashable file of the 4.0.2 kernel please.

System UI Crash

I have run three different ROMs, CM10. AOKP Jelly Bean Build 1, and Jelly Belly all of which the System UI stops 4 times every hour and then about 45 seconds later it starts back up. It is quite annoying.

Nope. I downloaded a fresh ROM and wiped everything, then flashed.

Odd. Strange that you have the same issue with 4 different ROMS. Because of this It sounds like there is something inherently wrong with the hardware or, even more oddly, an issue with all 4 ROMs which the only thing I can think of is that you have downloaded incorrect versions for your phone (sorry to sound like I'm insulting your intelligence but that's all I can think of)
The only think linking the errors across all the roms would be something which they all share, in this case imcompatable software.

Have you tried super wipe?
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz

have you tried to reflash stock through fastboot? does it happen then? are you changing dpi or something? themes? are you checking sha256 or md5 after you push it to the device? its a long shot this one, but what version of cwm are you using?
get us logcat/dmesg or it didn't happen.

When you said you wiped totally and reflashed, did you still restore from a TiBU with system apps backed up? If so, don't. Sorry if that's not the problem. Only do user apps. ONLY.

If you're out of ideas, try super wipe. Wipe everything! After that, you can adb push the Rom and flash it. Good luck

It's basically a .zip file that when you flash like other ROM or kernel, just erases everything. Simple as that. It'll erase current ROM, current kernel, files in /sdcard/, cache, dalvik, hack, all the files in the phone. It'll just leave you with a new playground for you to play on.
It might be a "overkill" for this kinda problem, but since nothing helped, I say try this.

Use adb push.
1. Download ROM of your choice
2. Place it in the same directory as adb.exe
3. Boot your (SuperWiped) phone into recovery mode (Whether it's TWRP or CWM)
4. Open up the cmd in the directory where adb.exe is located
5. "adb push NAME_OF_ROM.zip /sdcard/"
6. Install zip from sdcard->choose the zip->done.

[Q] (status 7) some symlinks failed when installing ROMs.

when trying to install a new rom i get the same error (status 7: some symlinks failed) with the cm10 and eclipse ROMs. I don't seem to have any trouble with Buglessbeast and euroskank. I have googled and searched XDA but none of the other threads are for the toroplus.
Edit: Thanks for all the help guys. I'm still having this problem.
Things i have tried: go into mounts and remove the top X on the list.(TWRP)
flashing a stock kernel gets me stuck in a boot loop.
I am using the franco kernel and had this same issue using CWM before switching to TWRP.

Are you using TWRP recovery? If you are that's the issue. The latest update has a flaw, you have to go into recovery, go into mounts and remove the top X on the list. They said they where working on releasing a correction for it. If your not on TWRP then I don't know what's going on.

I have also seen something similar. What most people don't realize is the some kernels, including Franco, change things in /system as well, which messes with some things.

Wipe/Factory reset does not touch the system partition at all. This is normal. It only wipes the userdata partition.

Had a bad download and on initial install I formatted system however it failed. Went back and formatted system and cache manually and worked for me.

I'm not sure if this is related, but I read in the MMuzzy's Jelly Bean 4.2.1 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762846, first post specifically) that unmounting /system fixes this problem, and sure enough it solved the problem for me when I tried to flash that ROM.

Installing multiple kernels?

I currently have Faux123's flo jb 4.3 kernel installed. I want to install ElementalX onto my device. Will I have to uninstall Faux's kernel to get Elemental, or does it not matter?
If I have to uninstall Faux, how would I go about doing that?

I am not 100% familiar with the Nexus 7 yet, whereas with my SIII and HTC Desire. Normally every phone support only 1 kernel and once you flash a different one it will basically overwrite the old kernel.

Download Kernel, use root explorer to browse to SD card/downloads, long press the .zip file you downloaded, select move from popup window, near top left select parent folder this should be the root of SD card, from top right side of window select move here. .zip will now show here. Boot into twrp select wipe, select advanced wipe
Important Wipe cache and dalvik cache ONLY. Wipe only cache and dalvik cache. Wipe only cache and dalvik cache. Important
Click back button after wipe to get back to install button select install, browse down to .zip file you downloaded. Install it. the kernel your talking about has an aroma installer so there will be many selectible options. Select what you want as options. Wipe cache and dalvik cache again once aroma installer is complete. Press reboot. Done

my HTC Desire is sleeping at the moment due to my SIII , whereas I am keeping it for e.g. situations where I do not want to use the SIII due to risk, damage or whatever. Once such a situation appears I guess I will update to a newer version .
