[Q] Help in flashing SGS2 I9100 - General Questions and Answers

I've read through many posts/threads and this is my first post after trying out many. I've tried to flash the rom of aosp adyscorpius and face "signature verification failure" and the solution i found in the thread was to toggle signature verification off. to toggle -> download clockworkmod which i did. then to install cwm i needed to download thru odin home+power+vol dwn. but its stuck at the Downloading.... screen. There's alot of info and as a newbie its really hard to identify what is relevant. Anyone can help me out here?

Why don't you download rom manager and try to install it through rom manager? It might be easier.
However if you want to install it through ODIN you can follow these instructions ----> http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...ckworkmod-recovery-on-rooted-galaxy-s2-i9100/
Please before you start flashing check what version of Galaxy S2 you have. I am telling you things that work on the international version. I cannot take responsibility for your mobile
In step 3: of the above it will ask you to download the recovery file etc. You can do that by pressing this link: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B_s67NKADKQXOEdpOFoxVDQxMzA/edit
You can download odin and CWM (which is flashable through odin). Then you can continue with the instructions above
If you need more help do not hesitate to ask for more

I don't read every thread, and I don't know where you got this from. was it stated that this is in the format required for i9003, or did you just pick it up from somewhere else and try to install it?
if it's not for the i9003, then you have to re-flash some stock rom to fix your problem.
if it's for i9003, did you ensure you're using the same fw as was designated for the ics port? for example, is it for kpq and you're using kpq? if not, then you have to restore the backup you made before attempting this. if you forgot to do that, then you have to flash a stock rom to fix your problem. if they were matching and you're having problems, why not ask for help in the thread where you got it from?

Thanks for you review and comment.
First of all, i would like to stated that i have fully meet the requirement of flashing a custom rom. I'm user of KPQ of course i will find a custom rom for my i9003 KPQ. The purpose of this tread is to mention why every time i flashing a new custom would have the same problem occur whereby my device always stuck at the booting logo or reboot over and over again. This has make me troublesome to reflash back to stock rom when every time i failed to do that.
First, i root.
2nd, install rom manager
3rd, Flash CWM recovery
4th, do nandroid backup (use rom manager)
5th, application & data backup (use titanium)
6th, then istall .zip (custom rom)
Is't i missed any step before i flash a new custom rom??
What about deodex ?? it's necessary for us to deodex before we proceed to update our device?
However, i have fully meet all the requirement but why every time i flash different custom rom also failed.
Thanks again for your kindly advice

oops, first, I misread 9lock as clock
then, when flashing a custom ROM, in general, you must be deodexed first. if it's required, I would expect the dev to mention it in their thread. after flashing custom rom, you must also wipe dalvik cache. I don't know if it's necessary, but I do both dalvik and "plain" cache after flashing. have you done these two steps?
then, if you're installing the alpha ics release from the other thread, as stated, it's alpha, so not bug free. in general, custom ROMs will have at least one or two bugs, due to not every potential possible combination of operations can be performed without extensive testing and correction, and especially on our phone, the testing isn't so extensive since there aren't so many users.
edit: I found the thread you're referring to. it's "RC2", which means not necessarily stable (Release Candidate 2). go ask tripin for some help
Thank you for your advice.
Now i can taste my new themes with having a few tiny bugs. I'm so impress you can solve my problem. By the way, i will post up a new thread which guide other people to install custom rom for detail step. TQ

oops, my bad. as you can see, I was conversing with the OP, and this thread was actually for another specific problem, but since the title is a generality, here goes:
first, follow these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19663863&postcount=754
then install cwm, put kishen's rom on your sd card, and flash and wipe normal and dalvik cache

[Q] signature verification fail?

Hello,
I'm new to the forums and have been trying to root my galaxy tab 2 10.1 4.0.4.... I have been through all the other posts and downloaded all the programs that were needed for rooting but when I try to install the rooting file from the recovery screen I get signature verification fail every time I've 're downloaded and everything many times from many different forums and still getting the same problems, can any one help me out with this please and if so step by step very new and still learning.
Thanks
What recovery program did you install?
Usually when you get that error is because you are trying to install the rom from the stock recovery.
I know when I first tried installing CWM recovery onto my Tab2 it didn't take at first and found that not checking "Auto-reboot" in Odin and manually rebooting the device when done worked.
Disable signature verification. if that doesn't work then download zipsigner from play and sign the zip file
Sounds like you're trying to flash from stock recovery, which isn't going to work. You need to be sure you are using a custom recovery, otherwise, you'll keep getting the error.
May be try reflashing cwm version 6.0.1.0 from odin pc for your tab model number then put rooting file in internal and external sd and try flashing from both ,may be one will work

[Q] Signature Verification

Hello folks I have the US Verizon version of the Galaxy S III and when I try to install a rom from either Rom Toolbox or Rom Mananger I get sent to the recovery screen. Once I navigate to the selected rom I set a Signature Verification error and the little Android fella drops. What can I do to fix this. Not all roms act this way but this Miui rom doesn't seem to install. As a matter of fact, any rom I install via the recovery acts this way.
Please help. Thank you.
What recovery are you using? Instead of Rom manager use ez recovery and flash either cwm or TWRP and then flash the rom. Check the md5 of the rom to make sure it matches. I also think there is a setting in a custom recovery for signature verification
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
You cant flash roms from stock recovery...you need cwm or twrp recovery.
Being that I'm a newbie with this particular phone, I need help in terms of the method you guys are suggesting. I either use Rom Manager or Rom toolbox for flashing but was only successful with Rom Manager for at least two roms but were unstable. Please get back to me on steps on how to get around the Signature Verification where the little Android falls with a red error message.
Thanks.
Thank you for all the advice. I just installed Goo Manager which works with TWRP. I hope it works. I'll update as soon as possible.

[Q] How do I flash a Rom on my phone?

Hi!:laugh:
I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G, and now want to flash it with CM10
This is the guide I've been following but I've never succeeded:
w w w . android. gs /update-galaxy-s-4g-cm10-android-4-1-jelly-bean/
Every time I go into CWM and chose the zip file, it says that it can't mount my SD card.
I've wiped the cache and deleted all user data (factory reset), though it still won;t flash.
I've used programs like Android Commander, and it still won't flash.
Will someone please explain to me why I can't flash the rom?
Welcome to the forum,
You need recent CWM (the blue one) to be able to flash mtd roms.
You have two choices:
1) Flash using heimdall one-click (found in the stickies section) then CM10 using CWM. <=- (you do need to follow the instructions carefully)
2) Download Samsung Galaxy Kernel Flasher from play store, and download AntonX kernel (Search the forums), then flash CM10.
Edit:
I checked the link you provided, I would say please DO NOT flash any ROM from unknown sources. In quick glance they provide false
information. Specifically you cannot return to STOCK with CWM once you are using MTD rom (you need heimdall or Odin).
Please read before you flash anything.
PS: despite flashing using CWM is somewhat safe for this device (SGS4G), but don't take this safety for granted for other devices,
ALWAYS be careful, and learn from other people mistakes (I recently hard bricked S2 Hercules by flashing wrong kernel using CWM).

How would I get the new (blue one) CWM?
And what could I do about my sd card mounting in CWM?
Thanks again though for the advice, it had too many bugs!
