Hi Maulvi,

the colourful boot-up screen is (at least at model B(+)) a sign that the
device did not understand the kernel. looking at the official raspi
github I see that model 2 support has been added 12 days ago
(https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/commits/master)

The kernel on that image is not that new, so I'm not really surprised
that it doesn't work.

from here I can see two courses of action:
1) download the latest kernel
(https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/archive/master.zip) and copy
the relevant parts (most stuff under /boot and /modules) to your SD and
see if that boots.
2) wait a bit :). My Pi model 2 is due to arrive early next week. Work
permitting I will probably update the image with the new kernel
somewhere in the coming 2 two weeks.

The new kernel is quite a bit newer. It went from a 3.12.x to 3.18.x I
don't yet know the impact of that on the rest of the system. I also read
a bit about "device tree overlays" and some people were a bit confused
about that.
Point being that I'd like your input if you manage to get the new kernel
working.
