Hey guys with Siyah, I didn't follow last night, but you might wanna hold on to flashing kernel updates.

Apparently something is causing phones to brick, some people can't even go into download mode. Could be the repacked rc6 (which now seems to be removed on his blog), or could be the new 3.1.

Can't be too sure since his thread moves quite fast

Edit : Seems like could be latest rc6 that he removed, as well as moving from rc6 to 3.1. Some people recommend doing it via Odin instead (someone who did via CWM got stuck at samsung screen)

Yup. The latest RC6 caused a brick when you try to flash or do any wipe operations in CWM.

Only the RC6 using the korean base. Previous RC6 and new 3.1 should be fine.

Thanks for summing it up guys, so many pages couldn't quite pinpoint it.

I'm on 19th April RC6, so that seems fine (the one prior to his latest one yesterday was giving camera issues, so I reverted).

You guys updating to 3.1? Was thinking maybe I should do this one via mobile odin instead

Yeah you can use mobile odin or cwm manager. These apps just need root and does not go through recovery.

its ur rom's feature, go to ur rom's page in xda and see the changelog

u extracted out the zimage to flash or directly flash the zip file with cwm manager?

anyone can share the 19th rc6?

Yeah i usually download cwm version cos in case emergency cannot boot up i can go into recovery and flash last good kernel which i keep in /sdcard/. So when in normal case, i wanna change kernel, i extract out zimage from zip file and direct flash with cwm manager.

Ah, so you unzip the file, and use the zimage to flash via CWM manager usually?

You updated to latest 3.1?

Not yet. Abit busy. Was thinking of flashing voku again.

Hi, I also have a problem. My phone always fail to wake up when it enters sleep mode (after you lock your phone, it goes into sleep mode). Have to do a battery pull in order to revive the phone. Any idea?

Phone calls made to it get through but the phone doesnt ring as well.

It will be not stable if my S2 with G upgrade to ICS ?

Ah the smooth previously soft bricking our phone kernel

But yeah, assuming stuff is fixed, would love to go back to voku. But it's new, so thread moves slow, so no idea if it works properly

Yeah it was fixed. Tried it in 1.5 and 1.7. But 1.5 kinda laggy. 1.7 was smooth but freezes my phone. Dunno is it better with 1.8.
