You can flash PhilZ-kernel with built-in CWM recovery. Have a look at PhilZ-kernel thread to find the appropriate kernel for you.

from where can I get it?
does it require PC and odin or not?

In http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270 you can find your appropriate kernel, but you need to choose the right one, because the latest kernels are for JellyBean only.
No, you don't need Odin/heimdall and you don't' need a PC even if it's better to have one at hand when it comes to issues.
One hint: read and try to understand everything before flashing. If you are unsure, ask, otherwise there is a chance to brick the device, especially with 4.0.4 stock (-> brick bug)

okay thanks dude, but is there a safe one even if with a PC, I'm used to rooting and flashing recovery mods and kernels using PC and odin for my s3 and it is very safe and no chance of bricking the phone, so is there a similar way for s2 ?

just download the 'Siyah kernel v 5.0.1' (.tar file for flash with Pc odin) from the link below and flash the same on ur phone using PC odin, it will root ur phone and install a working, brick free cwm recovery, which u can use to flash any custom rom/kernel of ur choice

thanks a lot bro, will give it a try today
btw im going to flash the latest jellybam on i9100 so will siyah have any problem regarding the ROM ? i mean will there be any lag or something ?
CWM matters, not the kernel you're actually on.
Of course if you're on 4.0.4's kernel you can't wipe.

The Siyah kernel will be overwritten during the jellybam flash anyway......so as mentioned. ...the kernel doesn't matter/won't cause compatibility issues

Hi all,
May i know if i am able to flash a kernel like "siyah" on an unroot S3 by using the default recovery mode on Samsung S3?
If yes, are there any implication as the user does not wish to root but hope to have a better kernel.
Thanks.
Siyah is rooted kernel if you flash custom kernel all kernel is rooted.And you wil flash whit Odin nhot stock recovery.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
no you cant,
if you have not rooted and CWM not installed, only throgh odin
major kernels are coming with auto rooting..
Even if i were to use the press vol up button with menu and power key to install the kernel from there, it still wont work?
Its Kernel and not ROM... so must i still use Odin?

Wrong kernel can be flashed via Odin without root if in the correct TAR format see stock rom thread .
Custom kernel likewise if its in TAR format .

This is my first post and i was wondering if people could answer some questions i have.
First off heres my phones specs
Samsung galaxy s2
Model number
GT-I9100
Android version
4.0.3
Baseband version
I9100XXLPQ
Kernel version
3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ-CL223505

Build number
IML74K.XXLPQ
I've rooted my phone using rachmat3 method and thats how far i've got because only just got phone as a gift and im scared to flash a new rom incase i brick my phone.
Is it safe to use the cwm.zip to flash a rom that i used from rachmat3 root method or do i need a updated version of cwm?
Can someone recommend a fully working paranoid android rom that i can use for daily use?
Which kernel would be best to use with paranoid android rom?
Should i flash a kernel before i flash a rom?
If i install paranoid android rom would i then have a permanant cwm on my device or would i still need to use my temporery cwm.zip?
What is the chances of me bricking my phone?

Flash what ever rom u want till its for GT-I9100
No need to worry
Just read the specific rom instructions carefully
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes mate now u can flash any Rom ....Just read the instruction before flashing
I would advise you to flash a safe kernel first before doing any wipe and flashing any roms. Siyah is a safe bet.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
1. Download ROM Manager and you'll be able to flash any ROMs you wish using that.
2. All the PA versions are working fine, so just browse through and choose for yourself.
3. Asking questions like that is against forum rules because they often lead to arguments. The best advice is just to download and flash different kernels and stick with which ever one you're happy with.
4. It really doesn't matter in which order you flash them. The result is still the same. I personally always flash the ROM first, but it doesn't make a difference.
5. If you use ROM Manager, as mentioned previously, even if you have to do a full wipe when flashing a different ROM, it doesn't matter because you can simply download it again anyway. Or just save it to your SD card.
6. The changes if bricking your phone are higher if you're worried about it. Just be sure to read all instructions given about installation and follow them perfectly and you'll be fine.
If after reading about flashing ROMs you are still worried, then you're better off waiting for a bit until you've done more research into what exactly is needed.

Thanks for your replys.
just follow the steps mentioned and follow some video (like on youtube) and it'll be easy!

Most ROM zips include kernels, so if somebody wants to stay with the same kernel, then it's necessary to flash custom kernel again.

You will need a pc if for example you flash a kernel and somethings not right.You cant get cwm, only download mode.
That happened to me when I flashed a siyah kernel.Phone was stuck and I couldnt boot into cwm.Only way to fix was boot to download mode and use odin/pc.

Hi guys,
Recently I bought a used GSII but it has some problems and I had send it back. Today I bought another used one. Read here on XDA about eMMC Brickbug and this thing scares me, I don't want to brick my phone!
On the first GSII, installed eMMC Brickbug Checker from Play Store and the chip was sane. But this new one I got today has a insane chip it says. Does this mean the hardware is damaged or the kernel has this bug?
Flashing a custom kernel ( for example: Siyah kernel) will it solve this or it will brick my phone? Phone is running stock ICS 4.0.3 and it is not rooted.
Thank you!
If you're on 4.0.3 you have nothing to worry about. Even if its an 'insane chip'. More so if you're on stock and don't intend to mess around with custom kernels, rooting, etc. Its certain 4.0.4 firmwares that have the bug.
If you do wanna root et al, just to be absolutely safe, install a custom kernel like siyah via Odin before flashing custom ROMs or performing a backup, wiping data n all that jazz.

Flashing any custom rom or kernel from dedicated devs like gokhan, codeworkx or dorimanx won't brick your phone with their reputations as elite android experts if u follow detailed instructions carefully as per. Also it will root ur phone automatically..

It comes with a warning. There's always an element of risk however small. So I personally haven't used it. After all its merely cosmetic unless you're worried about your warranty.

I rooted flashing a custom kernel and I like how the phone works. So for now I'm leaving it as is. Will wait for Samsung to release official JB for our SII next month
And the yellow triangle is that one you see during when your phone is rebooting. It appears if you have flashed a custom kernel/ROM.

My phone is rooted now and few friends here gave me suggestions of siyah and some...i want to know if I can directly flash the rom from stock recovery mode..i downloaded ROM manager, but it only has clockwork mode and cyanogen i guess.. can i do that using siya?
You need CWRecovery on your phone (sounds like you used a root method that didn't involve using a kernel with CWM if you only have stock recovery). Best way to get it is to flash a kernel that has it built in - Siyah, Dorimanx, etc, etc. There's a number of them; search the development sections of the board. Once you've got CWM on, you'll be able to flash any rom you want.

Siyah is a kernel, not a ROM. And no, you cannot flash a custom ROM from stock recovery. Search for rachmat3's rooting method and use that. Or flash the tar version of siyah or dorimanx via Odin.
ROM manager seems to have some issues with the S2. try to avoid using it as far as possible.
See which ROM you want to use. If it has the new Mali drivers use dorimanx 7.4 else use siyah 4.1.5

Siyah is a kernel developed by gokhanmoral. ROM on the other hand is also called firmware, you can flash them both in clockworkmod recovery, but cannot be done in stock recovery.
As for ROM manager, I've seen people brick their phone using it, so just stick to flashing clockworkmod recovery.

If you are using siyah kernel you can tweak the GPU steps and overclock your CPU using an app called ExTweaks. But note you are not going to get any serious performance boost, your machine tends to be what you have.

That's exactly the same as using cf auto root. So why not just use that?
Or just flash recovery if you don't need root. You don't need root if you're flashing a custom rom.

I guess the best thing is to check the main features of latest stable roms (based on stock firmware if you want all samsung features) and then try the ones you like the most..
I wanted to try android 4.3 and eliminate all the samsung (mostly useless for me) stuff, so i checked some threads in the forum and now i'm trying the supernexus 3 rom, it's pretty good, with not many customizations, but very lightweight..
