I have a sgh-1777 with cyanogenmod 9 in it with a siyah kernel. Its been working fine up until i tried to put it into recovery mode through rom manager. now it wont turn on or go into recovery mode and the screen faintly flashes about every 3-5 seconds. Any help through this dilemma would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Here are the links, go back to stock and then re-root the phone & install ICS again. Just dont use rom manager again.

Did you go to either of the links and read either of the threads?
Put the phone into download mode, and then flash stock with Odin. If you can't get to download mode the usual way, then try this:
Pull the battery and leave it out. Hold down one or both of the volume buttons and plug in the USB cable. The phone should boot to download mode. The USB cable will provide the power.
I was noobish enough to do this too. And spend a good 2 getting my phone back. But I was just being dumb and wasn't paying attention

The following assumes that you want to return to a custom firmware such as the CM9 that you had.
Follow this guide using method 2C to flash stock plus root firmware. The directions are complete enough that you should be able to follow them.
Then continue with one of the options in section 3 to install a custom Gingerbread kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery. Then you can flash the firmware of your choice.
If you have any questions along the way, ask them here. I'll try to keep an eye on this thread this evening.
If you would rather return to stock and not root, use my other guide.
i now have it on the stock firmware but i tried flashing cm9 and there was an error: "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" and "E:signature verification failed"
any help?
thanks
Seriously? For christ sakes search! You will find that issue all over the forums. Sheesh

Is your version of Google *ucking broken? Take 2 min and use it. Many xda'rs would find your disregard of the rules and laziness much more rude than the responses you are getting.
Reading is good for your brain and phone.Stop trying to take the easy way out

@CNoe,
The reason you're getting answers that seem rude to you is because your question is so basic. This is the kind of stuff that you really need to know before flashing your phone. Even though I pointed you to a guide to follow it looks like you didn't fully read or comprehend it. If you had followed the guide you would not have gotten that error.

I know and i apologize, ive been trying but something is always wrong. You can obviously tell im pretty new to this stuff and forum and i can easily say its probably the least helpful and malicious (didnt think id be using malicious as a way to descrobe a forum) people-wise. I got more rude comments than productive ones. A simple "look here" or even just dont answer would be fine

If nobody tells you that you're in the wrong and you aren't following the rules, how would you know? Its obvious that you didn't think the rules of the forum don't apply to you, but rest assured that if you are on this site you are expected to search and make an attempt to help yourself. If you wanted a help desk you should contact Samsung or at&t. XDA isn't a helpdesk for all your cell phone troubles. Think of it as more of a knowledge base, as all this info has already been typed up for you, is searchable, and available for you at all times.

Dude,
this is a FAQ.
Have a look in the FAQ thread. It's there for a reason.
If you're in a panic and cant see the FAQ thread, here's a direct link.
You'll get all your answers there.

same thing happened to mine... only thing i flashed a rom over a rom like a new fresh installation and it bricked the phone no recovery no download mode ..it just turns the scrren on but its black thats all it does and if you conect to pc it turns on burt cant recognise it....i think you have hard brick .. i tried everything suggested .. only thing its to take it to a place qhere they do jtag.. unbricked...
Hello, sorry for being dumb, but this is the case.
I rooted my phone, everyone was ok, but I wanted to install a custom kernel, so I wanted to install a custom recovery, so I dowloaded ROM manager from the market and installed it, I selected to install a custom recovery, everything went ok, so I pressed to boot into recovery, and that's where it gets stuck on the S2 logo, won't go past that.
What are my options?
Back to stock via Odin - clean slate & you can then 'start again' (re-root, reinstall custom rom/kernel whatever).
Don't use Rom Manager with the SGS2 at all; it's notorious for doing what you've just experienced (you don't need it - you have CWRecovery for all your flashing/backup/restore/etc needs).
P.S - Bricked phones are exactly that; bricked. They don't boot. If a phone boots, it ain't bricked. There's no such thing as 'hard' or 'soft' bricked. It either tis or t'aint.
Thanks for replying, and good to hear that there is some hope, can you refer to any guide/tutorial of what to do exactly, I don't want to stumble upon something wrong and make things worse.

Power off. Press Volume Down + Power and it'll boot into download mode (let's hope so), and flash back to Stock 4.1.2
Then flash Siyah Kernel. It includes SuperUser and CWM.

Hello.
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and its been working fine for more than a year. Few days ago, i did a factory reset and now when I power on my phone it stays on the Samsung logo. If i go in recovery, it says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah. and i have a lot of options. I did wipe data/factory reset and after that completes it powers on and goes in safe mode, i can do stuff for around 30 seconds and then it restarts and stuck on samsung logo again.
I tried flashing stock firmware but Odin does not detect my phone. i have tried on two different computers, they both have the drivers everything, tried on different ports, tried with different cables.
Please Help.
what rom you're on?

1) 'Please use a descriptive thread title'
2) Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, find it, try as many of the things in that thread as many times as you need to in order to get a successful flash. If you try the stuff in the thread two or three times then come back to this thread & say 'I tried blah blah a few times & still the same', guess what ? Your phone will stay busted. Why ? Because perseverance always fixes these issues unless the phone isn't recoverable. You need to try everything in that thread over and over and over if necessary. There's nothing that isn't in that thread which can be suggested in these situations. Why ? That thread is the 'Bible'.
So...Go...You now have the tools to fix your phone.
i have already seen that thread and tried what it advised but to no avail.

Tried but did not work.
Same thing happens, goes into the system, and then restarts after 20-30 seconds and then stuck on samsung logo.
Well,if you can boot,quickly go to phone's settings,scroll down and tap "about phone".Write down android,firmware and kernel versions and post here.
That stuff is irrelevant. OP, you're clearly not doing some things here or not telling us exactly what you did to get the phone in that state (like most people who get into this situation). Service centre.
i said in my FIRST post that after i did a factory reset, when i restarted it got stuck on the samsung logo.
Anyone ?
Please.
Well,if your current rom is messed up and can't use ODIN,you may try flashing a stock based jb rom through recovery.Choose the one you like,follow the instructions and that's it.
Just a suggestion:angel:
Could you please link me to which one i should download. i do not want to mess my phone up even more.
im from uk.

Well,I cannot say which rom you SHOULD try as it's against the rules and is purely your choice.Although I used this one some time ago and really liked it

What's the point in telling people what the rules are when you go and break them in the next sentence ? Why not just tell people to go read some rom threads & try some roms ? Do you realise how much more likely it is that a n00b will break their phone at some point in the fairly near future when you spoonfeed them everything, which is exactly what you've been doing for the past few weeks, as opposed to pointing them in the right direction & telling them to learn for themselves ?

I don't get you mate.The man asked me to suggest a rom so I did.Honestly,it was the only stock jb based rom I ever tried as AOSP is my home.As much as I hate stock,I know that rom has little to no problems,so that OP won't come back here anytime soon.Which is good.Never wanted to break any rules,but because his phone was in unusable state,I pointed him to (IMHO) the right direction.Is this a bad HELP?
I know I did some things here and there that made some noobs lifes easier.So this means I should always reply by saying:
Hey,there's search button for that!DIY!Troubleshooting thread is not for these kind of questions.Get outta here!!
That's not how I understand HELP.
Anyway,thanks for your opinion,really respect that.
