I wasn’t thinking clearly and I installed the siyah kernael for ICS on my gingerbread phone. Now it won’t do anything…. is there anything I can do to fix it. I can’t get back into recovery mode, the screen is just black. Help a newb!!!
Sorry, this is for ICS ROMs only but you can try flashing this speedmod GB kernel to get ur phone working again: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/kernels/GB/speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21-Odin.tar
Thats the the problem. Unfortunately it’s bricked. it makes a sound when i plug it in to my windows pc, but the screen wont turn on. Any advice on unbricking it?? Thanks for your help.
That sounds like not a brick, sounds like your screen digitizer is dead, might want to replace it.
You could flash a rom through Odin, then the file.storage access isn’t needed, the only thing your phone can do is getting into download mode.
I think it was volume up plus home plus power buttons simultaneiously
Jeff if you got your phone working try using Siyah v3.3.2 for GS2 i9100 worked like a charm didn’t get bricked well best of luck

after flashed this kernel, my wifi is not working, with CM9 latest build 20120615 nightly i9100
how do you use odin while on a custom rom?? because before you have to boot into download mode and now there is no download mode
There is, Volume Up + Center + Power button. Try it again it will work.

i installed beats audio onto my GS2 i9100xxlpq using the ClockWork app thingy but turns out its was for the T-mobile model. now my camera screen is black (but still takes photos fine) and videos on youtube are black also but i can still hear the sound, is their anyway to fix this problem? ..PLEASE HELP ME.. i restored my phone to factory settings thinking it would fix it but it didnt work.
Is there any way to fix this Max?
I rooted my S2 running on ICS 4.0.4. Guess what it made bluetooth stop working,Video player stop showing visuals while playing videos nd what not. Please help me with this.
Same problem with me but i installed the beats audio rom which was for the tmobile gs2 model. I use the gs3mod ROM seeing as the video and camera and bluetooh works with it but the only thing is my Android version is 4.0.3 instead of 4.0.4 :/ and when i unroot my gs2 it goes back to 4.0.4 but the camera problem and that comes up again so im just sticking with this GS3 ROM till i get some acutual help. If you find out how to fix it can you let me know please??
i’m just curios if this kernel work on omega black blue rom?
Can I use this kernel with resurrection remix JB?
hi max i really appreciate your site and your work.
there is a question which i couldnt get an answer to anywhere.
i noticed the latest siyah kernel in the siyah kernel website is SiyahKernel S2-v5.0.1.
can i use that with JB rom? or is it just for ics?
and if so how is it possible that a lower version of that kernel which you published here supports jb but a more advanced one does not?
waiting for your answer,
thnx alot.
