Welcome new XDA user,
Right now, you have stock recovery and with stock recovery, you won't be able to flash anything.
In order to flash a different rom, you first need to flash a different kernel or recovery using ODIN.
You can flash a kernel like DorimanX or Gustavo Kernel which contains CWM recovery. From there, you will be able to flash ROMs like normal. You require the .tar kernel files to flash via ODIN. Kitkat or Lollipop kernels will work fine and should allow you to flash most zips. Apolo kernel will also do fine too.

Did you make sure your phone was in download mode (volume down + home button + power key) when using ODIN? Rom manager is an old application and shouldn't work on CM13. Instead, the app flashify should work better, that's if root is enabled of course (development settings, enable root for apps).
regards, gsstudios
To add to what @gsstudios has said.....
I seem to remember reading that rom manager breaks things on the S2.....specifically I recall it being mentioned that it breaks recovery mode....
Probably best not to use it as if it hasn't broken things yet, it eventually will do.....

Hello everybody,
First I'd like to thank to community for the hard work. I v read a countless amount of pages of this forum and I can't even imagine the time people spent helping on issues or writing tutorials.
So thank you if you re up to spend few minutes on my specific case (and sorry for the bad english).
Here is my device and the different version of kernel ...
1/ Rooting my device (tutorial in french translated from xda)
http://www.cnetfrance.fr/produits/guide-rooter-son-galaxy-s2-39763841.htm
S-Root version used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414
Everything went pretty well when I rooted the GS2. I got the Superuser app so i figure it's ok.
I just used a modified kernel found on xda who was corresponding the my base band version (just the PDA in Odin).
2/ Installing a new ROM (Cyanogenmod by Rom Manager)
I followed : http://www.redmondpie.com/install-cm7-on-galaxy-s2-using-rom-manager-how-to-tutorial/ and http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide (official guide) using Rom Manager premium.
When i tried to reboot in Recovery (manually or with Rom Manager), i can't find the "Install the zip" option, I have 4 available: "Update from the zip", the 2 wiping/delete options and the reboot.
So obviously if i try to wipe files, wipe the cache then to update with the zip I have the following Error:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
Do you have any idea what went wrong in the process ?
Should i flash the phone withOdin and change my base band version to another one ?
For info, I did the Permission Fix option in Rom Manager too. Didnt help.
Thanks a lot.
U need clockworkmod instaled first..

You didn't install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Thanks for theses answers but I think I installed it with Rom Manager and i flashed it to the last version.

As we've already said, you haven't installed CWM Recovery. You see at the top of your second photo where it says "Android system recovery (3e)"? That's stock recovery.
you can't install CWM recovery thru ROM manager.
just flash the CF Root Kernel for KI4 thru ODIN , you will have CWM recovery.
Hmm I understand about the CWM version I'm booting with, but as you can see on the first capture, my kernel version is a modified one i got after using Odin (puting this Kernel : GT-I9100_XXKI4_insecure.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671).
I got the root access by S2 Root.
Ok I think I installed only the Kernel and not CF Root available here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
I ll try to redo Odin and stuff and let you know if I'm still alive.
So it's not great right now. I have installed CF Root with Odin, so I had CWM on my phone (I could see the application). Then after reboot with CWM Recovery and installing Cyanogenmod, the phone doesnt want to start anymore.....
I tried to apply the insecure kernel again with Odin but still impossible to download. I'm stuck on the screen with the yellow sign and written Galaxy S2.
HALP !!
I just tried to put back the official firware version : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and put it in my phone with Odin.
Ok, I dont have the yellow sign anywore but the phone is still stuck on the boot screen (where it's written Samsung GALAXY s II)...
What should I try ?
I'm still able to boot with CWM recovery but I didn't make any backup and nothing work.
Do you think the phone is dead ?
5 posts in a row?
So, just to clarify, you've tried to install CM7, which amongst other things tells you to do a nandroid backup, and also to flash twice in succession. Did you do either of these things? The instructions are there to be followed, don't just ignore them.
Ok my bad I didn't backup anything because I had no data to backup. This was maybe a bad move...
Anyway, I tried to flash it twice yes. Right now, i'm working with a modified Kernel (with CF Root), and booting in CWM Recovery. When I want to flash again by installing from the .zip I get a Satus 7 Error.
In CWM, every advanced options are apparently available but I dont know anything about them.
And just so you know, on my SD Card i have 1 update.zip and the update-cm-7.1.0-Galaxys2.... .zip from Cyanogen.

Flash a stock rom with Odin and then root your phone again. Start reading and follow procedures when you want to flash custom roms again .See Intratechs`s thread for a stock rom
Thanks for your reply.
I did it, it didn't work, I mean i could flash with Odin but the reboot doesn't work : the start screen appeared without the yellow sign, but it's stuck on it.
--- update
FYI, I installed Rom Manager yesterday, it way interact in a bad way with CWM Recovery.
For now i can mount USB by CWM Recovery but cannot do anything else.
If you have a method to clean completely the phone ? Maybe the bootloader is broken...

Hey everyone, ive searched all over and havent been able to find a solution.
I've followed the instructions on how to root using CF-ROOT (odin) and successfully rooted and booted into cwm and installed Resurection remix 1.0.. Everything works great, except when i try to reboot and go back into CWM i get android system recovery <3e> and not cwm.
The only way to recover is to install cwm or cfroot from odin again and reinstall the rom.
Any idea what i'm doing wrong? thanks
Don't know, try to change rom and see if it happens again... I'm on v3rtr3ma and is really good.. Tried also wanamlite 9.9..

That reads as the rom you are using has no built in CWM recovery .

Like JJEgan says, the ROM then sound like it comes with its own kernel, that DOESN'T have CWM recovery, but standard Android recovery. ROMs come with their own kernels, so every time you flash kernel first, then ROM, you are replacing the CF-root kernel, thus losing CWM recovery.
Just re flash the CF-root kernel to get it back after you flash the ROM. There is no need to flash the ROM again after you flash the kernel.
Try installing Rom Manager and make a recovery once installed (top item in rom manager)

correct me if im wrong.
you're REINSTALLING the rom, after you flash CF-ROOT? if you reinstall the rom, then cwm will be deleted.
You can use this temporary signed CWM zip.In recovery, choose apply update from storage and flash the zip and you get CWM. When you reboot, it will be gone.
This was taken from Here
You better take a look here for further information.

If he's installing CF-root, CWM and ROM Manager tend not to play nice together.
Look in the Resurection Remix OP!
After you installed Resurection Remix let it boot and flash CWM-zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854. That should give you 2nd recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
NOTE: İF YOU WANT FLASH SOMETHİNG FROM CWM RECOVERY FİRST YOU MUST İNSTALL CWM.ZİP FROM STOCK RECOVERY MOD(APPLY UPDATE FROM EXTERNAL STORAGE AND CHOOSE CWM.ZİP AND İNSTALL)

LOL, indeed, reading the first post of the ROM thread is a good idea too.
OP, as gee2012 notes, there is a NOTE in the Resurrection Remix thread in all caps, right under the "Rom Installation (please don`t miss any step! )" section.
On an unrelated note: gee2012, you of Chinese descent?
EDIT: Whoops! didn't see jakezpeenz's post. Sorry, not meaning to repeat what a bunch of other people already said.
I can confirm
hi
I can confirm that after installing ICS remix you need to flash the cwm tar thru Odin after you install ICS to get CWM

but on booting into recovery,i found stock recovery was being forced..i read somewhere it was because of unlocked bootloader..
on cyanogenmod wiki page,i found installation of clockworkmod recov using heimdall..everything went fine ...blue progress bar was shown in the download mode...and when i rebooted into recovery mode i saw the first danger sign..there was a yellow triangle beneath galaxy note logo..
and then it booted into clockworkmod recovery 5.8..Foolishly i did a system backup..rebooted...surprised to find phone went into black screen after displaying a note logo with yellow triangle beneath..tried recovery from clockworkmod without hope but that didnt work as expected...
This is the situation..All i need now is to install cyanogenmod 10.1.3 stable on my device..i dont want a custom rom backup anymore..

Download a firmware from SamMobile and flash it with Odin then you will be able to install PhilZ and your CM rom (or another one )

Yes you can but the most important thing on N7000 is to have a SAFE kernel before wiping or flashing from recovery. (more details in the N7100 sections)
Here are the general instructions to flash a new custom rom:
1. Having root and a working custom recovery (updated)
2. Boot into recovery mode (VOL DOWN + POWER + HOME) then VOL UP to accept the warning.
3. Make a Nandroid backup and backup your EFS.
4. Full wipe: wipe data (factory reset), cache, dalvik and system. Recoveries are different. You may need to go to another menu to format the system partition.
5. Flash rom
6. Flash Gapps
7. Reboot normally
Hi, i'm new in these things so have a few questions.
Iwould like to flah thecyanogenmod but my galax 2s syas it is not a gt-I9100.
So i read some things about removing the assert line from a script and so on.
Do i need to flah an older rom before the cm11 nightly?
Do i need to flash the kernel first? or just use the latest cwm? (or rom manager/clockword?)
Can i reflash the S2 with an cyanogenmod kitkat version after i flashed it with an other kitkat rom for this device?
(still i did not succed to flash any rom to it)
thanks for any help !

First of all check if it g version or not.
To best of my understanding you can install it directly as far as you are rooted.

You don't need to flash an older version before KK. You just need KK compatible recovery. Or you can flash a KK compatible kernel, reboot to recovery and flash your KK rom.
Hello, thank you both for your replies.
Finally some clear answers
The model says GT-I9100 and not with g behind it, thanks.
I found some things about the status 7 error and about removing some line in a script in the zip.
So i will try the kitkat recovery (in my understanding this is also the kernel?) and then flash it with kitkat rom.
I would like to flash the one from cyangenmod, but doe it really mather which custom kitkat rom i take? At least they are all without the providers code like Vodafone or others?
Thanks again. I will update the thread if it succeeds or not.
Hi,
so i could not install the latest Recovery_CWM_6.0.4.7_I9100.zip as it gave an error E: signature verification failed.
then i tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip and this works. But with this i can't install CM11. as i get the status 7 error.
So i will try some other versions kitkat compatible.
I also took a look at the kernels section but it is not clear wich one to use for CWM6 as i don't know what XXLSR or DDLS3 means, and which is correct for Netherlands.
Do you have any idea? (i am not allowed to post there yet)
Thanks for your help.
For choice of kernel -
1. Gustavo's - I don't remember the version. Check the op.
2. Dorimanx - you can try 10.43v100.
3. Apollo - 7.0b Cm
They will bring the KK compatible recovery you want on your phone. Then after rebooting to recovery you can flash any custom rom as they are not locked by any carriers.

If you are able to go back to download mode
1. Flash a stock rom via odin
2. Flash a custom kernel via Odin. You might find some in the link you put there or you can search for hirox kernel. Remember, you have to download Odin flash able kernel and follow the op.
3. Once you have custom kernel, reboot to recovery. Flash any of the kernels in clockworkmod mentioned in my previous post.
4. Reboot to recovery. Flash your rom.
If you are unable to go to download mode try all the methods mentioned in the below link to bring it back to normal. It will need patience and perseverance. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
Thank you for your patience and your help Banjara.
This forum and it's people are 100 times better the on Gyanomed were totally no support is given...
I will try it and come back, at least the phone able to start in the download mode.
Probably the usb connector has some loose contacts as i can get no contact with pc.
I got this phone from my brother and he told me that it never worked, just loading the battery
So i tried an other cable from an cheap android pad, but also no luck
maybe tommorow, i have another cable from an android stick pc at my job, maybe it will work
else i have to open it to check the connector under a microscope and probably resolder(hotair) it with a lot of flux... what a pitty... :crying:
lucky i have some experience on it, i repaired a lot of qtek phone, some years ago, always that connector broken.
I'm originally an tv(crt,lcd,plasma) repair technician, but now on an other job
Pfew, i managed to rsolder the connector with help of the microscope on my job.
I could even connect to odin. so that's is good progression. i had a wrong kernel downloaded, so it failed.
now i have the correct one and will use Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar
But unfortunately the battery is really emptying quickly when it stays in the phone, i don't know why.
So i will have to charge it an then give it another try with this kernel.
The ROM should still be original as i did not flash it before, just the kernel.
The phone is now saying battery empty, can't download.
To be continued...
Jippieeee!
GREAT !!!!
It worked! flashed the kernel Siyah-s2-6.0b5 and it started ! :victory:
Now what is the best way to proceed, there are so many topics on this it is overwhelming.
Should i first flash a Kernel or first a rom?
Can i flash them right after each other? (kernel reboots) so ROM and directly Kernel in one go?
thanks for your help!
{SOLVED}
Ok this is solved, thank you guys and dolls !
i managed to flash the cwm 6++++ and then the OMNI kitkat (latest) and the gAPPs
and it is working ! i am verry happy ! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
:thumbup::beer::beer:
one more thing
i noticed there is also another kernel now in the phone.
How to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark?
i saw some footage on youtube how to do it with the correct kernel.
But can i also extract the kernel from the ROM.tar i used and flash it with Odin?
Or is there another way?
thanks for your help. ---> edit
ok found some here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/30-10-2012-k-la-lp-t1103399
but is it also good enough to unroot your device or are some functionality's then lost when using OMNI- rom ?
Thanks for your help
there arent any funcions lost it just gives your phone informations so that it thinks its all fine and dont displays the yelow horror . Btw i used TWRP KK kernel on my gs2 and installed prerooted rom aosp neatrom 5.8 kk and dont have problems with triangle.

Thanks Radelos, then i will try to unroot it again. And that will be it then.
Now using the OmniKK nightly of 8th of june, it runs very smooth, no issues till now, all is working well. :good:
btw idk what is the exact rom your willing to use but for no triangle would also do an clean install of stock rom, then root with framroot that you can find here on site and then flash KK compatible recovery and ofc kk rom with it. Here is the rom i used, its prerooted and on first boot starts direct into recovery so its for lazy ppl =D factory format data/system then flash TWRP touch recovery and in cwm reboot recovery option. And then just flash rom

So with this process, will there be no yellow triangle?
Hello. I have galaxy S2, and I wanted to install CWM. I installed it (CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100) with odin with auto reboot unchecked and after that it doesn't boot up. It can go to odin and CWM modes, but the android doesn't launch. I did a recovery to phone storage, but still I cant launch the phone... Can anyone help me?
Flash a compatible kernel to your installed rom via recovery. Or you can flash an insecure kernel via Odin.
Simple cwm flashing won't boot up your phone.

Would you mind explaining how to flash a compatible kernel to my phone via recovery? Also I didn't install any rom just cwm. And where should I get a proper kernel to my android? Sorry for dumb questions, but I'm not experienced enough as you see...

Well, there are 3 kernels which are quite popular here which have their depth range till kitkat roms.. A simple search on xda for them will lead you to the respective threads.
1. Gustavo's
2. Dorimanx
3. Apolo
If you want a KK rom then download a KK compatible kernel mentioned in the op for those threads, put that on external sdcard and boot to recovery. There you can flash the Kernel file. As you don't have a rom on your phone it would be better if you download a rom and gapps package too and flash them. After flashing a kernel, reboot to recovery and then flash rom and gapps.
If it's difficult for you to put those files on sdcard, you can flash a stock rom via Odin, flash a kernel e.g. philz, apolo,hirox via Odin. Search for these keywords here on xda. Once you have a working kernel and rom, you can download a custom rom and gapps, put it on your phone and follow the procedure which I mentioned first.
If my steps are still confusing to you then you require to search for these terminologies here on xda,read and understand them carefully and then proceed.
You didn't mention what OS/Firmware was on your phone before you started.....this is VERY important to know as it will decide what you can / cannot flash.....
Custom kernels are OS version dependent.....some will only work with ICS, others will only work with JB.....some are exclusively for KK.
You need to check this.....

well I couldn't check cause it couldn't boot up, unless there's another way... But whatever I managed to write 4.4.2 Kitkat on my S2 and there's alot missing feature's like, I cant organise my program menu, I cant add many widgets that I had used in my previous android, there are no notes, phone file explorer and other what is irritating... Maybe there's some another pack that I missed when installing or what?
