I hope Shotty doesn't mind me interfering... but I can see your problem straight away. You are using the wrong Siyah kernel to try and root your phone on ICS, Android 4.0.3!

See the Rooting Galaxy S2 - Dummies Guide, posts #1.5 and #1.7 for the correct kernel. Please read through all of the first 3 posts in the thread to give you all the information required for rooting the SGSII.

Hope that helps.

i have flashed my phone 3 times now with the siyah v 5.0.1 now but it still fails reboot. and when i go into cms recovery it says that i still have the old siyah v6.0b5 kernal that i first used.

You cannot flash a kernel via Recovery unless you are properly rooted to begin with. See post #1...

Installation instructions (please read carefully and thoroughly)

You will need to be rooted, see here, and have ClockWorkMod, (CWM), installed.

The only way to root your phone is by using Odin on your PC and the steps in posts #1, #2 and #3 of the Rooting Galaxy S2 - Dummies Guide as I described in my earlier reply to you... which you quote!

You cannot flash a kernel via Recovery until you have correctly rooted your phone first, which was not the case in your post #669.

Upgrading only every six months now it seems. Upgraded to NeatROMLite LSS and Siyah 6.0B4 and it's a great combination.

I found Siyah 6.0B5 didn't go into deep sleep and Dorimanx 8.19 was unstable. NeatROMLite required uninstalling some framework thing from system/app that kept crashing to make it stable.

Now it's all working fine with great battery life using Ironass's STweaks settings - thanks Ironass!

I too have found siyah v6.0 b5 less battery friendly than siyah v6.0 b4.
I'm currently on NeatROM Lite LSW and with siyah v6.0 b5 I was getting max 15/16 hrs at most.
Just reverted back to siyah v6.0b4 and and it's getting better. Gonna wait a couple of days more before deciding anything.
I've always been a siyah fan though.

Agreed avushkaa! :thumbup:

Both Syd and I reckon that the Siyah 6.0b4 is better than the b5.

oh yeah baby, beta 4 is rock solid and in combo with NEAT gave me the best battery ever in my 2 years with the S2

 

[avushkaa]

Siyah 6b4 is giving me 2-3% battery drain overnight.
Whereas it was only 1% with Philz.

I think I'm going to flash Philz now.

Anyone still using the Siyah kernels with latest neat rom lite XWMS1 V5.3 ? Im not getting great battery life with philz kernel and am considering going back to Siyah ? any thoughts ?

Try Apolo 4.12 kernel. Siyah project is dead...

Ended up going back to neat rom 5.0 , alls well now .
With 5.3 the phone want going to sleep for some reason and the battery was draining very quickly .

While what you said sure is true....is it worth the switch? What version are you currently using?
