i have same combination, and can't confirm the brick. i made FR today, too.
without issues and brick. so, i can't believe that is an issue causes by the kernel.

Yeah, this is the weirdest thing about all of this. I personally did a factory reset using the "bad" kernel with latest Hydrogen without any problems what so ever. At the same time a lot of people are reporting bricking doing that very thing..

i speak with all my words: You don't have to apologize for anything!

Maybe some people will ask me if i got my phone bricked... I don't.

But let see the big picture: All time spent, all good will with answers and feedback and most important, all the awesome work with the best kernel ever!

All we should be responsible about what we do, and modified our device is the botton line here.

Keep going with your outstanding jog, totally aultruist, for us.

Many, many thanks.

I agree also.

I have the Siyah RC6 from Friday 20th April, 13:35:14 EEST 2012.

So according to you, this one is bad as well? I believe it's only the one from Saturday/Sunday...

Anyway, I'm all good atm, so I'm just not flashing anything until things settle. Should be ok I guess.

I use this kernel and it's ok for me. I think the version later than 20th April is suspected.

Got an idea, as some of you probably know, there are two different kinds of wifi chips possible, one from murata, one made by Samsung itself, gok embedded Korean drivers for wifi, I'm just saying, maybe there is a coherence?

This would also explain (perhaps) why not all are affected?

When are the affected phones produced? Early builds only maybe?

Our is just Samsungs way to punish customizers :)

Good luck to all affected people, you got my deepest sympathy!

Oh right....Sorry about that question..


PS: Reported :D


Have a nice day :]

Report me all you like. There were several people claiming to have gotten their phones bricked and you ask a question like that. That's just disrespecting towards the poor folks affected by this. Why would they make up something like that?

Sure, maybe it was a bit stupid to add the retarded part, but seeing as you wrote this;
Sorry but your reply makes no sense :p Sounds like a "broken-russian-english-accent" :D
in a development thread, something that's both irrelevant and racist, I don't think you should be so quick to blow your own horn.

The only noticeable difference between korean and international SGSII is amount of partitions. Korean version has no preload (aka hidden) partition which is present on international version. this is mmcblk0p12, AFAIR (actually, i've repartitioned my international SGSII the same way to get more 500mb of free space for /data).
If CWM recovery modified by Gokhan do somehing with this partition then its absence can produce some side effect.

actually, that dual-boot feature is somewhat tricky and put ROM (especially second one) into not-supposed-to state. This can give you different side-effects not only for users who use dual-boot feature, but also for those who use just single ROM. IMHO it's very specific feature needed just for small group of people and whould be good to have separate version of kernel for those who really need it.
I like functionality of Siyah Kernel, but i cleaned initramfs from all files relative to dual-booting (also from CM/AOSP/etc versions, including that tricky USB initialization) to make clean and simple version.

I'm running on a download from 20.4 around 16:07 and have factory reset several times without any problems.

gokhan,
As a few has mentioned earlier, ver.-nbrs. on reuploads would be helpful and less confusing.

Edit. Running Hydrog3n as first and Omega 11 as second.

I'm running HyDrOG3N-ICS 18.04 + Latest RC6 (#76) and all seems to be good.

I flashed the kernel today, but I didn't wipe anything.

Should I continue with this kernel version or should I flash another version or do nothing and wait?

I tried several 3.1rcX versions and I have various issues. Im using NEAT ROM based on LP8.
3.1rc6 build #72 have a problem with wifi after deepsleep. It doesnt reconnect. Then I flashed new version, 3.1rc6 build #76 and camera didnt work. Finally I flashed 3.0.1+ (3.0.27-Siyah-v3.0.1+) and phone works properly so far.
Im using CWM flashable kernels.

Yes flash a nightly or any ROM that does not wipe anything, I was on latest Siyah which is having issue and I flashed the latest nightly over it without a problem, wish for the best

I blame yesterday night's upload and anything before that one should be safe or I hope so.
I did not make any modification in CWM recovery for about a week and my changes are not in wiping or formatting part (only one exception and it is label change only to format internal/external)

I am uploading 3.1 which is based on update4 sources.
if you dare...
or just install any other kernel.

    • Dual booting support for all supported ROM types. See droidphile's post for Dual Booting FAQ
    • Custom CWM touch recovery with swipe gestures and double-tap selection
    • 6-steps CPU freq
    • 5-step GPU frequency levels. VPLL Mode to have additional frequency steps. defaults frequencies: 66-108-166-267-330.
    • Auto-root. You can also remove root via STweaks app and install it without rebooting your phone again. Auto-root can be disabled as well.

    • Tweakable vitalij's value (set to 5 as default)
    • Adjustable touchpad led brightness
    • Fixed fuelalert wakelocks
    • You can completely disable android logger using STweaks app
    • Faster charging for misc and USB modes. There are 3 modes (AC, Misc, USB) and normally last two of them support only slow charging. You can have charging speed of AC by increasing it (especially user while charging in car or using USB port)
    • Cpu governor optimizations
    • Gpu voltage, clock and stepcount interfaces (GPU Overclock/Undervolt)
    • Screen brightness curve settings with original panel gamma values. panel values unchanged, so you will get stock colors and will be able to use supercurio's voodoo display app when it is released. brightness modification will only change auto-brightness response.
    • BLN support both for Samsung and CM ROMs (you can use STweaks, Nstools or BLNControl app from the market to enable it)
    • Breathing or Blinking effect for BLN. (Make sure you don't enable blinking in any other BLN app) Use STweaks to select one of them.
    • Better touch sensitivity
    • Available CPU Governors: Pegasusq (default), Ondemand, Lulzactive, SmartassV2, Interactive and Conservative, Performance, Userspace, Powersave
    • CIFS as module

    • USB Mass Storage mode is working in CWM Touch Recovery and you can mount both internal and external sdcard as a disk drive
    • NTFS automounting for USB sticks. When you plug in an NTFS formatted USB flash it will be automatically mounted to /mnt/ntfs folder.
    • USB mouse and keyboard support
    • built-in profile support with default, battery and performance presets (you can change them in CWM Recovery). Even using everything default will save you a lot of battery juice.
    • Eargasm for headphone amplification (in STweaks) as free Voodoo Louder replacement
    • Almost everything is configurable such as scheduler features, hotplug thresholds, GPU frequencies, voltages, arm topology modes... and they are configurable via simple and free STweaks app which is embedded in the kernel and soon in Google Play & Opensource
    • Adjustable mDNIe settings
    • optional sharpness tweaks from hardcore
    • mDNIe negative effect toggle with home button (press it four times)
    • Touch gesture support by Tungstwenty. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831254)

    troubleshooting

    siyahkernel-ics-wide1.png

    READ THESE FIRST

    • Never report any bugs to CM9/CM10 threads if you use it together with SiyahKernel
    • Do not ask questions to me directly. This is a common thread, not my personal inbox. Ask your questions in the thread and do not target them to anyone.
    • Do not expect answers to all your questions. There are some questions which nobody knows the answer of.
    • Do not forget that this is a development thread. There is another thread in general section for those who wants to discuss battery life and chats. If your post does not include a feature request, bug report or suggestion it should be posted to the other thread.
    • No ETA for new version. Even if I sometimes talk about release dates those may change and they change for some good reason or because of my real-life obligations.
    • Make use of "Search this Thread -> Advanced Search"
    • Never ever discuss anything deep-sleep related in this thread. I do not make modifications to prevent sleep and 99% of deep sleep problems are application/ROM related. discuss it in general section. I do not want any positive ("this kernel sleeps like a baby") or negative ("There is a big problem with deep sleep. Please fix it") messages in my development thread.
    • If you do not provide details about your configuration and settings nobody can help you or nobody will care about your problem/bug report. The problems without details (ROM, settings, preferably the version that the problem first happened or the one that you don't experience the problem) will be ignored.
    • Never ever report any SOD issues if you are undervolting/overclocking and make sure you attach last_kmsg log. If you don't know what it is report the problem to the other thread because one more post without any useful information on dev thread will help noone including yourself.


    FAQ:

    Q: I am having some random lockups with some apps
    A: try removing root by using STweaks app and restart.

    Q: What is the difference between STweaks and ExTweaks?
    A: Both have similar functionality. ExTweak is Xan's implementation of the UCI interface (which is designed by Xan and me with the helps of AndreiLux and implemented in the kernel as open scripts by me) and STweaks is mine. I was hoping Xan would release the sources of ExTweaks (without profile support) but he changed his mind and I decided to open STweaks. Soon they will have almost identical functionality, so you can use whichever you like.

    Q: Does this kernel work on XXXXXX-ROM?
    A: If the ROM is based on Samsung Stock ICS Rom LPQ or newer, it should. Otherwise, search the thread... If you cannot find any reference to that ROM, try the kernel. You won't lose anything by trying this kernel. Worst case scenario is to reflash your previous kernel or ROM. You can backup your previous kernel with Hellcat's k-tool from the market.

    Q: Where is CM9, MIUI or Samsung ROM versions?
    A: There is only one version. Both ROMs are supported with a single kernel image.

    Q: What is the best settings?
    A: It is the one you try yourself and like.

    Q: I have just lost 20-30% battery by just rebooting/flashing the kernel. Is it a bug?
    A: No. It happens because of our fuel gauge chip which doesn't require calibration goes crazy sometimes. It is not related with kernel or ROM. Just reset fuel gauge chip using STweaks app (or remove the battery and wait 3 minutes) and then charge your phone.

    Q: BLN doesn't work.
    A: you need to enable it in stweaks or BLN app. if you have more than one app to configure bln make sure all of them use the same settings.

    Q: BLN works in test mode but it doesn't work otherwise.
    A: if test mode works you should blame the apps. Stock messaging and email apps may not support BLN and in some other applications you may need to enable notifications. Either find another application or change your ROM.

    Q: Can I use breathing effect without using BLN?
    A: for now, breathing effect only works in BLN. There is no way of using it otherwise.

    Q: I need to disable and re-enable BLN in stweaks to get it working again. What is the problem?
    A: You may have another BLN related application (BLNapp, nstools, or a script) which disables BLN after stweaks apply the setting at early boot stage. you have to either uninstall that app or enable BLN in that app as well.

    closing the thread once again...

    I don't want to piss the mods again because this thread attracts too many people.
    most of them misinterpret the "this is a development thread" statement and use the thread for their self-development purposes.

    There are very few people who give useful feedback and suggestions and I talk to them over gtalk, email or PMs anyway.

    greetings :)
