thanks n advnce sorry for my bad english please please help (
I would suggest you to factory reset first.It will not remove cwm and root.
If that didn't solved the problem then you should update your firmware.

If you flash firmware with Odin then just root with philz kernel

There is no need to remove them first.
Cwm recovery will be replaced by stock recovery and you will lose root if you flash fw with odin.

If you are flashing STOCK ROM with odin then you don't need to wipe data/cache/dalvik.
If you are flashing a CUSTOM ROM through cwm recovery then wipes are recommended.

Oh, then it seems to be more complicated. Have you tried to flash 4.0.3?
What process did you use to flash LPT?

now i flashed siyah 4 and i installed CM9 from CWM and all ok now
but i want to use this rom i will try to flash it again
is it safe?
Yes LPT is safe I'm on a modified version of it right now. It's not the ROM but the kernal that is the problem with certain 4.0.4 leaked ROMs. If you use siyah as your kernel you will be safe.

You're device is fine. I have the same thing and I've flashed hundreds of times. You just have to know what you're flashing and understand the basics

I am familiar with flashing. I had the LG Optimus LTE before this and flashed quite a few roms, This phone however has me awfully confused. I have been researching all day. And so far i am under the understanding that the touch cwm are not good and the use the 4.0.1.5 recovery. But what i don't understand is how do you install roms without wiping data/factory reset through cwm? don't most roms require this? and isn't that what causes the superbrick? Sorry for sounding like a noob. but can you tell me how you do your flashing?

Just use a different kernel, like siyah (www.gokhanmoral.com and make it's for the s2 not s3). Then you can wipe data. Just didn't not be on 4.0.4, and have a samsung based kernel (the kernel dev should have info in the op). Once you're on a safe kernel you can flash whatever you want and wipe data.

Ok so i flash the kernel via odin? because my phone doesn't have cmw installed. Siyah-s2-v4.0.1.tar that is the kernel i am about to flash. Is it safe for my phone? also do i need to do a backup of my stock kernel?

Yeah, you should be able to flash through Odin. And you can flash back to stock by getting a stock firmware from www.sammobile.com and flash through Odin

Yes I wiped data, cache and dalvik cache. Couldn't get into recovery so i just re-flashed my firmware via odin. All is good now and successfully flashed cm9 with no issues. Must have been a bug in the rom.
Hi guys, everytime when I try to install the ota system update. It died when installing on 29%.
I tried flash stock recovery but still the same.
I'm on rooted stock ROM. Siyah kernel.
Any help will be much appreciate..thanks!

You said you are on rooted stock rom? Why not just download the stock rom from sammobile or checkfus and install it over you current? (First time you can try without wipe)

If you get your phone back to stock conditions, meaning unroot and status: not modified, you will get ota updates once the rom you installed gets its.

do a factory reset to be safe. if you want to be even safer flash mega wipe from one of the threats, but usually factory reset should be enough.
the factory reset on setings?
