hmm, since flashing through cwm apps is safer, which file we extract to get the zimage? is it the odin one or cwm recovery one?

i just flashed hydrogenic from 1404 to 1804 cause im hoping it could fix the hang issue. then i can't start my tb anymore cause it says the tb has stopped everytime i start it. any idea how to fix it? i cant backup nor restore. T.T besides, will flashing a rom wipe the siyah kernel? cause my siyah kernel disappeared aftrr flashed hydrogenic rom.

Flashing rom definitely change the kernel. See if you got com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex in data/app. if got then delete it and reinstall TB.
*
oh. the gapps also? cause it seems i need to flash back gapps in order to use it and kernel after flashing rom. btw, i deleted the keramidas in data/apps but when i install, it says, i got insufficient storage. cry.gif TT

You sure you deleted the odex file? Did you restart before try to install again?
*
yup. after that, i delete the whole data file cause it's empty already inside. n i tried rebooting n wipe cache n dalvik. but still no luck. so wiping the whole phone is the only solution?

I think its best you start over. Did you flash any siyah kernel newer than rc6 b4? maybe ur mounts are messed up. I dont see the problem of full wiping since I can be up and running in about 30 minutes, so I suggest you to strt from scratch. Or maybe just try factory reset?clear all ur apps and start again to install. Maybe u can first try with netchip kernel, restore everything, then only flash siyah. Impossible to have problem then!! biggrin.gif
*
nope, i just flashed the latest rc6 only. i'm thinking of factory reset. but the game that i play got score in it n i havent back up using Tb. i don't want to replay everything again. >,<

will wait till next hydrogen update n flash it. if still can't solve the insufficient storage issues, looks like full wipe is the only solution. TT btw, is it normal everytime i reboot, the android is upgrading-optimizing apps x out of xx thingy pop out? is it normal for every 1804 user cuz i don't face this during 1404. thanks.

hmm, done downloading everything. luckily mybackup works like tb. xp. want to flash cm9 now. i'm just wondering i came from 2.3.4 to hydrogenic. so is it safe to use the cwm recovery method in cynogen xda thread? cuz it says 'Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders lower than LPH'. how am i gonna check mine in hydrogen? thanks!

guys, just some enquiries. I need to help my friend to flash custom rom for his SII (Non-G version).

I don't know how to flash custom rom for SII, because i'm using GNex. So:-

-What is the easiest method to root and flash?
-What is the best custom rom & kernel user in this thread use?
*
1. CF root using odin. and after that flash using cwm.
2. different ppl likey different rom & kernel so it's up to ur friend. but most of the user in this thread use hydrogenic and cm9 and for kernel is siyah kernel.

flashed hydro 5/5 version. so far no issues though i realize i flashed the old gapps instead of the new one. can i reflash the new gapps again without wiping or its not necessary to do so.
*
yup, u can flash the new gaaps over the old gaaps. flashing gaaps is just like flashing kernel. remember to wipe cache n dalvik can edi. biggrin.gif
