I had installed Voodoo and went to install one of the AOSP roms available. I didnt realize that it would overwrite the kernel and now upon booting the phone will go into FC loops. I cant get anywhere and cant get into CWM. I thought I would try using ODIN to get back to stock but now its doing the same thing at stock. I'm at a loss. What should I do? Is my phone Perma-bricked?
Was it my rom? I don't think it deletes the kernal?

blue breeze. I didnt think so either but now I get nothing but FC's from startup. So I tried to flash back to stock. Still nothing.
Oh my there are going to be a lot of these...
I don't know. I think that IF I had flashed the ROM first and then Voodoo I would've been fine. Unless I'm wrong and that's not what caused the issue. Any solution or am I out of a phone?
why can't you get into cwm? even by turning your phone off and holding the volume keys and the power button?
It goes to stock recovery, always has. I could only get into CW by going to ROM manager and booting into it that way.
do the update.zip and it should take you to cwm
the reason you're in FC HELLLLLLL is cuz you flashed over voodoo. that's why JT said don't flash over vooodooooo. you can fix it by going back to stock with odin. then i suggest loading bubby's kernal then voodoo over that.
Ive tried going back to stock with ODIN and it still does it. I'm going to try re-downloading the stock files and do it again. BTW the FC's are: android/process.media, and TwLauncher. I cant even get to any kind of homescreen or settings to turn on debugging.
i tried going back to stock with odin because i wanted to remove voodoo anyway before i flashed a rom and still am getting FC's like crazy
Have you tried this?
Have you checked this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807088 ...would be a good idea....

I've probably Odin'd my phone 50 times by now. It's not so daunting a task.
i dosent seem hard to do. but from what i understand i will lose all my data (apps, contacts, photos, videos) true?
I never lose anything but apps when using odin unless I go full out and start with eugenes group that doesn't brick then stock. If you just flash it to stock that stuff should be safe

You can use odin to flash JI6. There is a thread with it in the development section. You do not need the pit file, just load up the .tar and you are good to go.
Hey I was trying to install Axura final the other day and couldn't. I would go to Rommanager, install rom from sd, pick the room, then it would go into clockwork recovery and it looked like it would start downloading. It would then quit downloading almost immediately and take me to the main clockwork recovery menu. I would then just try to reinstall system packages(after renaming it update.zip) and it would come up with an error saying that it couldn't mount my sd or something like that. Any ideas why? I know its probably something simple that I'm not doing
Anyone else ever have this problem, or have any idea how to fix it?
Where you running a lag fix? If so disable it. And its always better to odin back to stock before flashing a new rom
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
No I didnt have a lag fix, I guess il have to odin back to stock and try that thanks
Ok so, I've flashed back to stock JFD dozens of times, rerooted, etc etc etc. Done this many times. Just did again tonight, and now every time i try to go into recovery mode and hit reinstall packages to get into the actual mode where I can install a zip or whipe dalvik (etc), instead it continuously reinstalls update.zip and reboots over and over and over and over again. Deleted update.zip from my SD card, says it can't detect update.zip so nothing can be done. Put it back on, it insists on continously reinstalling the same damn thing. Getting a bit frustrated, can anyone shine a little light?
Re-root.

Already did, same result. Thinking about just re-flashing stock, been tinkering with this a lot longer than I meant to.
reflash clockwork, get a new update package the old one may be corrupt. and update package twice and then blue recovery should turn from blue to green.
Ok figured it out. Tried reflashing clockwork mod via rom manager, it'd just hang. Reinstalled rom manager, same result, still unable to go to green recovery. Unroot via one click, reroot via one click. Reinstalled Rom manager, flashed clockwork mod again, was able to finally go to green recovery.
Took a little bit to find the right formula there, wanted to see if I could do it while avoiding reflashing stock.
i always like to odin it may take longer but it gets rid of all the old ghost roms i have on my phone.

Agreed. I always clean my phone out between roms with Odin.
Flashed CM9 to experiment with it and see how it ran, prior to doing so made a backup of current setup (unnamed 2.2.1 w/ siyah kernel). After flashing to CM9 and playing around a bit i was going to revert back to my original setup. Tried flashing back and now I am unable to even get to CWM Recovery, or Download Mode. It will boot to the SGS2 screen and then just go black no matter what I do. It is still recognized in Odin so I was thinking I'm going to have to revert back to stock and just flash it back afterwards. Any ideas before I proceed?

Flash back to stock. Strange - you say you can't get into download mode, but Odin recognizes it?
Ok, finally got into DL mode and flashed a stock kernel from Entropy's post. Now i'm faced with it booting to the ATT splash screen and it just loops that screen infinitely. I'm still unable to access recovery mode to wipe data/cache or anything like that. This is becoming frustrating and I'm not quite able to wrap my head around why after flashing stock that I'm unable to boot into the phone beyond the splash screen. Am I using the wrong stock fw or something? Here's the link to the one i used.

From my experience it's the wrong SPL/radio combo.
No matter what I do, I'm stuck up to that point.....I've tried a few different stock flash packages through Odin to no avail, same result every time. I know i'm probably doing something wrong or I'm missing something here, its not bricked I do know that so its not like i'm dead in the water here. Any ideas would be better than where I'm at currently.

There is no SPL on the GSII, and a bad radio will only screw up calls/cell data.
To the OP - exactly how did you flash CM9? CWM or some kanged-up Odin build?
Through CWM, everything worked fine but when I was using CM9 my back button and serach button weren't working, probably erroneous to this situation. this is just messing me all up that I'm able to boot up til the splash and then it just loops it over and over, its making me think that the FW is having issues loading or something.
Problem solved finally. Something must have changed after this last flash attempt because now I was able to get into CWM of all things and recover my old backups. Nice little adventure that was. Thanks guys for the help!

Understood. Coming from G1 I know it's different.

Hello,
My phone was previously running an unofficial version of MIUI and AOSP voodoo kernal. My phone became very buggy and what I was running on was old so I wanted to update to newer things out there today. So I knew I had to disable the voodoo kernel before installing the new ROM but getting into CWM via "Volume up and down and power" didn't seem to be working so I got into CWM using MIUI's reboot option. Unfortunately, this took me to a normal blue CWM so I though huh i guess I don't have voodoo installed then. So I wiped data and cache and attempted to flash the new ROM. about 10% in it rebooted my phone and now it gets stuck at the SAMSUNG logo. I actually can now get into the red voodoo CWM for some reason, but I can't disable it because my phone won't boot. Even though I can set it to disable since it won't boot im guessing it wont actually disable.
How can I get my phone back to stock so I can start over?
Thanks.
You need to see droidstyle's guide on flashing rooms and going back to stock. You should not have three fingered into recovery. There us a section there for your particular situation.

You should have put it into download mode and re-flashed your radio choice with atlas pit 2.2

Sorry, I resolved this by flashing a DI01 Image over Odin.
