Samsung galaxy s2 help


Guest luvvt

Recommended Posts

I know im in the wrong forum for the galaxy but can someone enlighten me on how to install cwm on:

Samsung galaxy S2 GT I9000T.

I have posted in the galaxy forum but no help.

SU chainfire is installed,

Rom manager also installed, Did a install of cwm through this but rom manager but stock recovery is still on the ph.

Trying to flash cwm through stock recovery shows Esigniture invalid. Opperation aborted.

I read somewhere that i need to flash a kernell over stock but i cannot find the correct Kernell

Kernell Version:

2.6.35.7-I9000TDOJV4-CL319152 root@DELL130#2

Build numb:

Gingerbread.DOJV4

Baseband version

I9000TDOJV4

Firmware version

2.3.3

Cheers guys

@tillaz, both those methods seem to be for ics.

From what i now understand is that there are many variants of this phone and I am now looking at flashing a kernell via odin.

The problem has been that i cannot find a kernell for my particular version

Apparently this will flash su and cwm over the top of the original kernell.

Question: as with our g300 we have to update our base band to ugrade from gb to ics. But reading through the forums at xda it seems they are flashing cwm.zip files to upgrdade (have i got that right ??) seems a little weird

Think your struggling to find the right roms and kernels, as it would seem the GT I9000T is a variant of the GT-i9000 Samsung Galaxy S and not the S2.

The S2 is the GT-i9100. Check here Info

Also check here SamFirmware

and yes your right in thinking you need to flash a rooted kernel with Odin to get root and Clockwork Mod. You just need to find the right one.

As the Galaxy S never got an update to ICS I think all the roms on XDA for it are Cyanagenmod based or AOKP.

Rom manager can only flash a different version of cwm if you already have cwm on the phone.

As some posts suggest im am to find a kernell that is as close to version 2.3.3 gb and flash this to get su and cwm.

Dude very easy.

All you need is odin and a cwm locate Siyah kernal for the s2 and flash it

follow all instructions for odin.

Trying that shortly, looks easy enoughnow that ive had time to read a little.

Proofs in the pudding though eh

Edit

@redflake Yep will look for a galaxy s kernel l
