Hi,
I've been using the void ROM for quite some time now, but today out of the blue the phone won't boot, it freezes on the LG logo.
I can access the recovery, but even if I enable the usb external storage, I can't see the filesystem on my computer.
What to do now? I'm running a "repair ext" from the recovery console, it's been running for a good hour.

Hi guys,
Here's what I've done.
Galaxy S2, rooted several days ago using CF-Root no problem.
Flashed Cyanogen 7.1 been using it for a couple of days, no problem.
I had the yellow triangle on boot and I bought a USB Jig thinking that would remove it.
It put the phone into Odin mode, but didn't remove the triangle.
So then, still with Cyanogen 7.1 on the phone, I powered off the phone, connected it up on Odin and used the PDA button to flash an official Samsung Kernel (Kernel_I9100XWKI4) - I remember XKWI4 was on my phone originally before I did anything. I guess this had changed with Cyanogen being installed.
Now the situation is I cannot power the phone on at all, just black screen.
Plugging in the USB jig does absolutely nothing.
If I have Odin open and connect the phone to the PC, Odin does recognise the phone.
Can anyone help me please - only had the phone a week!
Remove battery wait 10s, put battery back and either use the jig or boot while holding home vol-down and power.
i remember when i was fixing my brother galaxy s captivate after i flashed cyanogenmod i had to install google aosp drivers as opposed to samsung drivers to get odin to recognize his phone. So...try that.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Basically ODIN can see the phone.
I had managed to get the phone to boot to the Samsung screen (triangle gone as now on Stock Kernel) however it would stay on this screen forever.
I have used ODIN and flashed CWM recovery 4.0.1.5 to the phone which I can access using the 3 key combo. Obviously after doing this, the phone now boots with the triangle however it stays on the Samsung screen permentantly.
I figured I would try to re-flash Cyanogen.
Problem I now have is that Cyanogen is on the removable SD card - the phones internal 16Gb "card" is empty.
I can't get CWM to see anything on the removable SD card.
If I simply power on the phone currently, I get the Samsung flash screen with the triangle (no longer bothered about removing this, I just want the phone to work!) and it stays like this permentantly.
I can access CWM Recovery Mode, however it cannot see the removable SD card.
I can also access ODIN download mode and the phone is detected with ODIN.
I am unsure as to what Kernel is currently on the phone.
Either connect your phone to the pc while in recovery, go to mounts and storage and mount sd (or internal memory, no idea what the actual name is) and copy the rom to the internal sd card. Or use odin to start fresh again.
I have previously rooted my phone and put a cyanogen 10.1 rom onto it. Last night I did a factory reset on my phone and rebooted, following the reboot it came back on and worked appropriately. I then rebooted again and it got stuck at the HTC splash screen with the green letters and red warning statement at bottom. I tried to reboot into recovery and it did not work. I also pulled the battery and still got stuck. When I connect the phone to my computer via USB it makes a noise saying the computer recognizes a devices was connected however it doesn't show up in my explorer.

I believe through the recovery mode, i did a factory reset to get rid of all my info then then it worked and then I rebooted again and it doesn't work. I can't get past the initial splash screen that says htc quietly brilliant then "this build is for development purposes only...blabla"

go into device manager and tell me what you see when it is conected, if adb works i think we can do something.snice kernel interacts on that screen, also tell if you are s off

Are you sure?
1) Battery pull
2) Hold volume-down + power button simultaneously until phone vibrates, then continue holding volume-down and release power button
Five skHowe
Ok...weird, I plugged phone into computer and let it charge back up, while charging I check ADB Devices and it shows my device in Recovery. I was able to get it to the Fastboot screen however from here I can only get to bootloader screen..it will not go to recovery.
Also...when its in fastboot/bootloader my computer cannot communicate with it.

if you can get into fastboot and you are s off i can make a hboot flashable recovery
*UPDATE*
(ps. thank you all for offering to help)
I am able to get to hboot and twrp recovery now. I was able to push rom files to it however when i try to install i get an error. It isn't finding my SD Card. I am going to try a new card and see if that works.Apparently I lost my OS so hopefully a new SD Card will work and I can install the rom.
I will update if I have any more issues. Thanks.
I got everything back up and running with the cyanogen 10.1 rom however I am getting an error when trying to use my camera saying there isn't any internal storage on the device. My SDCard is up and working but the phones internal storage isn't being recognized.....thoughts?

Internal storage is not accessible by ROM or recovery
This rarely happens and unfortunately only seems to be remedied by formatting the internal storage:
Restart the phone to recovery and connect the USB cable to a Windows computer
In recovery, use the mount USB feature:
TWRP: Mount > Mount USB Storage
When Windows informs you that it needs to format the drive in order to recognize it, go ahead and format it as FAT32
After the format is complete, use the safe eject feature in Windows followed by unmounting the USB storage in recovery
Your /sdcard partition should now be accessible

I actually saw this on the install page for this rom and tried it. when i mount my sdcard it doesnt prompt me to format however I did it anyway and it still hasn't remedied the situation. I have attempted to start over and do it all again but the same thing happens. i will try again tomorrow and maybe ill have a different result.
So my friend's phone died during a software update which completely messed up his phone. I thought it would be a simple fix, no problem, but there is hardly any valid information out there that can help me (due to a lot of dead links). Here's the issue:
The phone (SPH-M950 btw) loads the initial "Samsung" image on the screen. Then it goes away and starts to boot up with a blank screen. My computer recognizes the device until a couple seconds late the phone restarts itself and continues this boot loop. I cant boot into the stock Android Recovery but I can boot into Download Mode. I've tried for hours to flash all kinds of ROMS with Oden but, despite the fact that Oden says everything worked, it still continues the boot loop.
If possible I would like to get the OS to work again without losing any data. If not then I would at least like to get the phone to return to it's OOB state so it's at least functional.
Help please?

Did you try to access the recovery mode after you flashed anything?
Try it and check whether it works. Then try to format /system /data and /cache (internal data will be lost) and then reflash stock rom via Odin.
Then try again.

I forgot to talk about accessing recovery mode. All that happens an Android logo pops up and starts to look like it's loading the recovery os but then the phone just reboots again and continues to do the boot loop. Nothing changed no matter what custom recovery I flashed.
I would have no problem if I could just get into the recovery menu but that's my biggest obstacle.
I need help.
I'm running this rom and lately my phone has just been rebooting randomly, well now its switched off and I can't get passed the "Samsung Galaxy S3" on boot. I don't even get to the omni animation.
I booted into recovery in an attempt to flash an old nightly but when I click on install TWRP says 0 internal memory and 0 external memory?
What do I do?
Please help, thanks.
Edit - Another thing, I went to reboot while in recovery and it said I had no OS installed?
It just occured to me that I could probably flash a rom/nightly via odin, since I can get into dl/recovery mode, but since it says 0gb int and ext when in recovery, will this work?
Not detecting memory seems like a hardware issue to me, but I know literally nothing, just asking/helping/promting
ps when i plug in the charger, the battery logo comes up
although its empty (not green), and it has a little circle in the middle to indicating loading of some kind, but the circle doesn't spin, like it's crashed.
i know i have at least 50% battery because it says so when i enter recovery
Recovery format sdcard system data cache .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
hi all.
I installed the latest stable CM version and the "Boeffla-Kernel" to allow undervolting. this combination worked perfectly for 3 months.
Now I came back from dinner and my S3 is just displaying the CM boot logo animation. I waited half an hour but nothing changes.
When I go to the clockwork recovery mode and conenct the S3 to my pc I cant access it, however it is displayed in the windows device manager as "Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface"
is there any way to fix this issue without loosing all data on the device?
thanks and best regards
One or more of your partitions on the emmc chip are damaged or corrupt.
If just corrupt then the rescue firmware from general forum might flash, if not then the chip is dead.
On the data, you could try flashing philz recovery and use aroma file manager to save to your external sd, if the data partition is still there.

ok, I installed philz recovery successfully.
But I dont have a SD card.
Is it possible to transfer data to my pc via usb instead?
