[Q] Help ! Having Problems while flashing ! - Samsung Galaxy S II Plus

Okay , so as the topic says .. I am facing problem while flashing cm11 build #5 by cooldevelopment for the non-NFC version of the Samsung galaxy s2 plus i9105 . I have rooted (my friend's ) phone by first installing cwm by chotu222 via Odin , unchecking f.reset time and auto reboot and flashing it via pda and selecting it . while it was flashing , I waited for the " reset " blue tag in odin to turn "pass" green tag and only then I unplugged it and booted into recovery mode while in the download mode. I was rewarded with cwm instead of the phone's default android recovery . I proceeded and flashed the SuperSU file from the cwm recovery and rebooted . I was successful in my attempt of rooting my friend's android . I updated the binaries and set up my traditional settings in the root app ( always granting permissions to apps and changing the emblem etc . ) I had downloaded the cm11 .zip and had transferred it to the sd card .. I booted the phone into recovery mode . I was over confident that the flashing process would anyhow be successful and I ( it was a huge mistake ) without backing up my stock rooted rom , wiped everything and tried to flash the rom . After wiping Everything , i tried to flash the rom and it " aborted the installation " I repeated the whole process again to gain the same result . my friend had a bricked s2 plus for the whole night . I flashed the stock 4.2.2 rom via odin and the device is fine now . I too own a device ( samsung galaxy s2 i9100) and as per my knowledge , ( if i am not wrong ) , kit kat roms requires cwm recovery version to be v6.0.4.5 or higher and i was not ( i think i was on cwm v6.0.3.x ) . any idea ? was it a bad download after all ? Do I need to flash a custom kernel before flashing the rom to avoid the superbrick bug in the stock kernel ? Please help me and thanks a lot for your time :good:
P.S. My friend's phone was on 4.2.2 bootloader before rooting and installing the custom cwm recovery .
I hope I am clear enough and elaborated enough so that you all can help me out .

yeah but it could be a bad download
do you have a 'Status" error? can you tell me what kind of status error?

i guess it was status 7 ( installation aborted ) which I suppose is because of either a bad download or cwm not meeting the recovery requirements . Thanks though

Easiest way to restore to stock is below,
Go to http://www.sammobile.com and download p3100's firmware based on your country.
Download Odin and using Odin Flash the downloaded firmware.
Use Cf-auto-root to root. And use Triangle Away if you like to rest flash counter.
If you need explanation for any of the steps, reply here. One of us can help you.

[Q] what happened?

DEVICE : SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT GT S5670
CURRENT ROM : GB 2.3.6 STOCK
I rooted my device a long time ago..but flashed the recovery few days ago only.
So here's what happened?
i flashed "AMON-RA RECOVERY"..then found it to be old.
then tried to flash the "TJ-STYLE RECOVERY" ...BUT SOMEHOW IT DIDN'T WORKED and ODIN was taking very much time.
so aborted and then flashed "PRATYUSH.CREED 'S RECOVERY"... as mentioned in the guide in the forum that this could backup the STOCK ROM.
THEN as mentioned in the guide i took a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom ...(didn't knew the backup was successful or not)..
after creating the backup i tried to flash OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 NIGHTLY.ZIP but the process ended very quickly notifying of successfull flashing...
instead when i rebooted after showing the sumsung animation the Device got hungup at a black screen with android written on it at a little right.
then i tried to restore the NANDROID BACKUP...but the recovery showed MD5 ERROR..
I thought may be a unlocked BOOTLOADER is required ..i googled it but couldn't find the procedure...
i then downloaded and flashed a STOCK_GB_2.3.6.tar.md5 rom..
this worked BUT REPLACED THE CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY WITH STOCK RECOVERY
.
.
.
NOW THE QUESTIONS :​
1.why wasn't the NANDROID BACKUP successful ?​
2.why didn't the OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 worked ?​
3.how can i unlock the BOOT LOADER if it is required for the CUSTOM ROMS ?​
4.why the CUSTOM CLOCKWORK MOD got replaced by the STOCK RECOVERY on reflashing with stock rom ?​
help me ...

i m a complete noob, but i will try to help u as much as possible ...
i think,there was a prob with flashing of custom recovery,
i m also on custom recovery (dunno which one) i flashed it as flashable zip frm recovery {i think i installed tj style fr odin then flashed the present recovery }
Also, wen u flash stock rom, u need to root it again ..
nondroid problem? mayb due to recovery problem ..
bootloader thing? sorry i dont knw anything bootloader thing ...
If i were u, i will first install tj style recovery from odin(it roots ur phone too, so no need to root it first) then either use it(its said to b most stable recovery around) or flash another recovery as flashable zip frm the present recovery ...
(i will avoid using odin fr each nd every thing ...)
Hope this helps ^^

HOW WOULD I DO THAT..?
means the tj-style recovery i have is in TAR format...
should i UNcompress and recompress it in ZIP format... ?
AND WHAT POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES COULD BE FOR THE ODIN ?
1) Nandroid Backup works only for custom roms. For stock roms u can only take a backup but u cant restore (there's a recovery by pratyush.creed which does restore too but i didn't try so can't say)
2)Perhaps u didn't flash properly so it went into bootloop. Use CWM by TJ-style only and next time, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and format /system just as a precautionary step before flashing custom rom.
3)Samsung Phones doesn't have locked bootloaders. So to flash a rom, u can do it easily
4) The stock rom u flash via ODIN contains stock recovery as well.
U cant flash recovery unless u have other custom recovery (well there is a flashable zip for CWM by tjstyle but i dont know whether it can be flashed via stock recovery). The only way u can do is through ODIN. Make sure ODIN is set properly and if u have windows 7, run it as administrator and better reinstall drivers.

u mea to say flashin different version of CWM also fails???
u tried flashing twrp?
personal experience i am on 6.0.4 everything is ok..
in Odin flash the cwm ...
i have flashed it with cwm 5.5 and no bugs other than listed in the thread of speedmod..!!
yeah i tried to flash another version of CWM but it didn't work ... Does it make sense i couldn't flash roms or CWM versions because i flash the CWM 6.0.3.5 using terminal emulator ? :\
and I didn't try to flash twrp but if i want to .. how could i overwrite cwm and replace with twrp ?
and if i tried to flash speedmod using odin it's gonna work right ?
but i prefer to stay away from odin because it's dangerous a little for me as a beginner
now i'm trying to install jelly plus rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649307
it was the same result it didn't work too
there is a guy said that some mobiles can not install roms directly from CWM .. he said that i should install it using odin .. is that true ?
please i need help guys
just flash correct recovery through odin,any cwm version will work,listed in forums for our device,then just wipe data,cache,dalvik and flash the rom,i have done it about 10-20 times now,nothing has ever gone wrong..!!!
just follow the correct steps..!!

I too had an ace plus and I too flashed pure galaxy. But I never had the need to flash any kernel. Try flashing stock ROM and again try to flash any custom ROM. If it do work it's good but nothing happens try changing your rooting method...

dude u flashed the kernel which was specifically meant to be for gb, not for jellybean, so this bootloop will occur definitely...jus flash stock and everything is fine then go for other roms and dont flash any other kernel.. jus flash the rom and gapps
use twrp recovery and your steps are correct...and use odin 3.7

You can try reinstall twrp again or try to get into recovery mode and verified which recovery show up.
To get into recovery, power off your phone, then: Volume up+Home+power. When you feel first vibrate, release power button but keep other until recovery show up.
