problem with flashing VR 3.0

[[w]]

hi all,

After reading available and related FAQs and forum posts on villainrom forum and on XDA, I attempted a flash of my SGS2. I was coming from the latest available CF-Root (v4.1 KG6). What i did:

1. downloaded VR3.0 zip and put it in root of internal sd card
2. boot phone into CWM, did a factory wipe and a cache wipe
3. Then installed zip from sdcard
4. reboot

What happened was:

1. on boot phone gets stuck at yellow triangle screen. (this is not a loop, just stays put). I left i here for over an hour, so assumed something was not right here.
2. could not boot into CWM.
3. Could boot into download mode

What i tried this morning was put the phone into download mode, and then use ODIN to flash CF-Root again.

After flashing CF-Root and reboot the phone started up ok and surprisingly had VR 3.0
when i check out the about phone:
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: KG2
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I19100XXKG6-CL425236se,unfra@SEP-53#2
Build Number: VillainRom 3.0

This looks wrong to me. Can anyone help advise what i need to do?

thanks​

Everything looks good. It probably didn't boot first time as you didn't wipe the dalvik cache. I would recommend updating the modem to ki3

Modem-KI3-CWM.zip

And maybe try one of the ninphetamine kernels as these work well with villain
