[Q] What ROM Should I Use

i have a CF-ROOT with KF3.
i flashed lightening rom and lost the CWM that i got with CF-ROOT..i only know how to use the CWM wasnt able to use the ROM Manager.
plz can someone suggest some custom rom that would have cwm preinstalled like the cf-root and wouldnt need a factory wipe.
Sorry for being such a noob.
plz help.
Regards,
Just flash the CF root again, it will come back
Regards.
i tried doing that with lightening rom installed...but it doesn't come back..so i had to use my previous nandroid backup to retyrn to square 1
i'm looking for a rom that wouldnt wipe my data and wouldnt cause me to lose CWM..
would this work (the no wipe version)..??

no need to worry its not a big problem, the reason you lost your CWM is because the kernal which comes with ligtening rom doesnt hav CWM. you can install a kernal with CWM like speedmod's kernal

Ur file system is ext4 now and stock Roms require rfs file system ...
Just flash a stock rom first, then restore your backup
P.S. confirm that the stock rom or custom rom based on stock u flash has rfs file system
Edit: or try to do a "wipe cache partition " if this doesn't work follow the above steps
well i guess that can be the problem. xperiatized is based on ext4 partirion system. and i've tried wiping cache but didn't worked.
i guess i have to flash rom through odin then :-(

But why do u want stock rom again? ?
Have u heard of an awesome rom called CM7 ?
yes man....one can't be so silly not knowing about cm ;-)
and does it mean that i will not be able to restore my stock rom again as almost all roms are based on ext4 partition?
You got the wrong file format, reflash stock via odin then try restore. Wipe cache after that
if I help please hit thanks :beer:

Lol I was just recommending cm7 ....dude u flash a stock rom via Odin first then root your phone again ( yes root access will get wiped by flashing stock rom) then install cwm and restore your backup ( if it has some important data it doesn't make sense to take all this trouble otherwise )

after restoring your backup, restore BOOT from a cm7 rom
I'm having the same problem, if i do a factory reset from Clockwork recovery,it will give me stock rom? I don't really want to use my pc when i'm going to turn back to stock because of possible usb/connection problems..
Try using stocklite, its DDKQ8. I like that rom a lot. Good battery life, speed and no bugs as far as i know.
If you don't want to flash it with odin try flashing Stocklite v6 and then restoring the backup

[Q] Can anybody help me ! ?

hey guys.. am still new to the world of ANDROID.. so i need some help please..
i wanted to update my GB Samsung Galaxy SII rom to the ICS rom.. so i wanted to start by rooting..
i rooted my phone and everything went okay and i also removed the Yellow Triangle..
my problem is.. now i want to flash a new rom to my S2..
i booted into recovery mode..
1st problem is that i didn't find a "Backup & Recovery" option as i saw in many videos..
the main problem is that i wiped the cash and the user data
but when i clicked on apply * from sdcard !!
and choosed the rom i've downloaded.. it didn't work.. i had an error saying that E: Signature Verification Failed
so.. and when i wanted to do a recovery using the CWM app.. i didn't find the backup and recovery option
if you have acsess to download mode, then reroot your phone, then you will gain acsess again to recovery & backup.

Sorry, I didn't express myself correctly. I meant you can reflash a stock unrooted firmware (kernel, rom) and then root it again.
okay guys.. am so sorry for the mistake i've made.. my probles was that i was going to the reboot mode using the cwm.. not the up-home-power buttons..
i told you am still new .. i thought they are the same .. anyway...
i recovered the rom with all the apps and everything is okay now.. but
the question is why i can't flash that rom ?? .. even with the right recovery mod it's still doesn't want to be flashed. ??
could it be because of the version of the rom ! ??
and is there a way to know what rom can i flash ??
and i also have a problem.. it's that the samsung kies isn't supporting my device.. i used it once and after rooting my cell it doesnt want to work again.. ??

First off you don't need to be rooted to up grade your firmware. The best source for firmwares is Samfirmware.com where you download a tar. file then flash it in the PDA section of odin. Please read the sticky threads in this forum as there is loads of good advice and guides from expert users. All the best.

Thank you all guys.. i flashed the ICS 4.0.4 firmware to my Galaxy S2 I9100.. and everything is okay..
now i am wondering how to root it ?
is it the same way for the GB?
actually i tried the same way but when i flashed the CF Root --LPH my phone died !! .. i mean it begin restarting every time i turn it on..
my Baseband version is I9100XXLQ6
and the kernal version is I900JPLPH
please send me a link that works..
There are a couple of methods to root. If you only want to root and not bother with custom ROMs, kernels and the like, use Rachmat3's temporary cwm to get root. Search for it.
If you wanna install custom ROMs, you could install a the TAR version of a custom kernel like siyah or dorimanx via Odin. Steps on how to do so can again be found with a simple search.

This should do,
1) Backup everything
2) Install Siyah Kernel (latest: http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?p=1536) using Odin (tar file)
3) Now you are rooted with Siyah Kernel and a CWM based recovery
4) You can then install any ROM/Kernel of your choice (if you need)
But "Search" - There are countless threads
thanks alooott
i really dunno how to thank you guys.. everything is working now as i want it to be.. thank you all guys ..
if i need some more advanced help who should i ask.. things more like programming
because,
i am 3rd year student and i am studying Communication and Computer Networks engineering.. and i am thinking about doing a programing project..
so if any one can help me.. i'll be so thankful ..
again thank you all guys
Do you have disabled the signature verification in recovery before flashing the rom?? Try this and see...
