[Q] Help please, can't use any Kernel on SGS2 except for CF-Root - General Questions and Answers

Hi to everyone, first of all I'm Marco, 29 years old from Italy, nice to meet you
Now my problem:
I can't use any Kernel on Galaxy S2 except for CF-Root (essentially is the stock Kernel rooted).
I did a deep clean but the phone is stuck on the start Galaxy SII image.
I tried Abyss, Siyah and Ninphetamine.
Actually I'm using VillainROM 3.0 but I also tried other roms and had the same problem.
If I enter in recovery it gives me these errors:
E:can't mount / cache/recovery/command
E:can't mount / cache/recovery/log
E:can't open / cache/recovery/log
E:can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log
E:can't open / cache/recovery/last_log
I can't even flash anything in recovery and had to re-flash Cf-Root with Odin.
Maybe someone can help me?
Thanks in advance

i dont now much about the gs2 but i suggest finding a .pit file and flash that via odin witch will remove any partitions and restore memory back to normal then find a stock odin image flash that and start over. as for your kernal issues you need to make sure the rom supports it before flashing it.

Hi, thank you, so are you suggesting to install directly the rom with Odin without using recovery? The Kernels were made for the roms I tried, actually they were inside the roms

Ok. I got it!!
I never heard of PIT files but once I discovered what they are, i flashed it with Odin and now I have Ninphetamine 2.1.3 up and running on VillainROM 3.0.
Thank you so much, you've been really helpfulf!

You cannot update over OTA if you are rooted. If you are able to go to recovery then flash the custom ROM again and everything will be back to normal

If you mean
-wipe data/factory reset
then I still get this:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2

If I could stop the rebooting process
is there anyway to access my xoom from the pc?
ClockworkMod Recovery reminds me of DOS.
Re Flash the rom u where using, hopefully if you can get it on a pc and put into your root drive youll be ok,
Reflash the rom in clockwork, and it will be back to normal
OTA Upates when rooted = Worst idea.

I can't get access to my xoom via PC
the minute i start my xoom up it shuts down into
Clockwork.
and then the error mount starts.
Is there no guides for a noob like me ?
I am freaking out, i have to work tomorrow,
my job is on the line :crying:
If you have rooted then you must have used fastboot. Try to flash the stock image obtained from motodev using fastboot.. have you tried it before? Just search the forum about the procedure

Ok after hours of :cursing: & getting very angry & cursing motorola nonstop,
feeling sick to the stomack
My xoom has been set back to 3.... now at 3.2
and here is the BAD JOKE
System updates:
Your device is up todate.
No update is necessary at this time.
I could "vommit" ! <-- where is the smilely for that ?
My xoom downloaded ICS then got hung up because of Root,
Now there is no root & NO Update
BAnGinG my Head!
Anyone have a clue what is going wrong here ? ? ?
Have a smile about me it is Free & Healthy. :silly:
If I were you, I would do the whole thing from scratch, thru adb, I will install another recovery after I unlock the boot loader, and install a pre rooted ROM.
Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29733454
However, the rom is for mz604, get the one for mz601.

[Q] Problems with flashing!!

I am currently on CM10 Alpha 3.
I tried flashing 2 ROMS (JellyBam and PacMan latest ones).
I followed the normal procedure(Backup,Wipe data,cache,dalvik) and install the ZIP.
While flashing Jellybam, the aroma installer got stuck on "Extract: /system/update_me.xml"
I had to take out the battery and restore the bakup.
Then again i tried installing Pacman (same Procedure) and while"Installing update" step , recovery rebooted.
It gave me errors: "
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:can't open /cache/recovery/last_log"
I tried restoring but it got stuck on "Restoring System".
Then i removed my battery for a few minutes and booted into recovery and restored successfully. The phone is working fine but my problem is why cant I flash other roms?
Any developers who would help?
Thanks.
I guess that's because the latest version might be built for cm10alpha4. Read flashing instructions for alpha4 on cm10 thread ... read the last few pages as well.

Odd case, mate. I just update my phone with A4, then I flash JellyBam v.1.30 with scrolling and build.prop mod make by Top Droid. And so far my phone is alive and still working. Try flash stock ROM again and flash A4 after that.

[Q] How to install GingerBread 2.3.6 using Recovery and not ODIN

How to install Stock Rom (GingerBread 2.3.6) in Infuse4G (SGH i997) without ODIN, i mean, install it using recovery (I actually have Red CWM).
My USB Port sometimes, when it wants to, and when it works i can't properly install the rom with ODIN because it says: "can't mount /dbdata" or "can't mount /datadata". I guess with those errors i wouldn't be able to install it using the recovery neither.
Forgetting about the errors, is there a way to install that rom with recovery ? I can't find the zip file online.
Thanks for reading.

You should try flashing Odin with the "pit" file for your device so it can reset the partition table. Have you tried these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705260
There is a 2.3.6 rom in the Development section if you want to flash using CWM.

Did you check the md5 of the rom you downloaded? this way you can make sure your download is not corrupt. It really sounds like it is.
Also, to install stock ROM, you should use a pc, Odin, and the latest firmware for your device from sammobile.com instead of flashing through recovery. Not that it can't be done by flashing through recovery, but through Odin everything returns to stock, including recovery.
