Rotate UIImage custom degree

Question

I want to rotate an UIImage (not UIImageView) in custom degree I followed this post but it didn't work for me.

Anyone can help? Thanks.

UPDATE: The code below does some of the job, but I lose some of the image after rotating it:

What should I change to get it right? (btw the yellow color in the screenshots is my UIImageView bg)

- (UIImage *) rotate: (UIImage *) image
{
    double angle = 20;
    CGSize s = {image.size.width, image.size.height};
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(s);
    CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextTranslateCTM(ctx, 0,image.size.height);
    CGContextScaleCTM(ctx, 1.0, -1.0);

    CGContextRotateCTM(ctx, 2*M_PI*angle/360);
    CGContextDrawImage(ctx,CGRectMake(0,0,image.size.width, image.size.height),image.CGImage);
    UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return newImage;

}

This method return you image on your angle of rotate

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Rotate Image 

- (UIImage *)scaleAndRotateImage:(UIImage *)image  { 

    CGImageRef imgRef = image.CGImage;

    CGFloat width = CGImageGetWidth(imgRef);
    CGFloat height = CGImageGetHeight(imgRef);

    CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
    CGRect bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height);

    CGFloat boundHeight;

    boundHeight = bounds.size.height;  
    bounds.size.height = bounds.size.width; 
    bounds.size.width = boundHeight;
    transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(-1.0, 1.0);
    transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, M_PI / 2.0); //use angle/360 *MPI

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(bounds.size);   
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();   
    CGContextConcatCTM(context, transform); 
    CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), imgRef);
    UIImage *imageCopy = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return imageCopy;   

}
