remove battery or power off device.
Hold down volume down + Power + Home buttons all at once to get download mode
then flash a stock rom.
Maybe villain rom latest as it wipes everything.
I got the same problem.
I already tried:
Flashing back to samsung stock,
wipe cache/dalviks
factory reset
flashing new rom
--waited 10 minutes boot loop--
took out battery,
waited 20 seconds
inserted battery, and rebooted
-- still bootloop
I don't know what i'm doing wrong.
Do this:
phone off
hold power + home + volume up. Select wipe data
Turn off device by long pressing power
Flash stock ROM or VR1.1 (it will wipe data on first boot anyway) via ODIN
Phone should boot

Hey everyone
I've been searching for hours now, but i can't find a solution to my problem.
I just flashed the new Omega V31 rom.. and after rebooting it my phone is stuck on the boot animation (looping the walking robot)
I can't get it back to CMW to reflash and I'm kinda clueless on what to do now
Help would be greatly appreciated

Why you can't get back to CWM?
Did you pulled out the battery?
shut down the phone then hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds
If CWM isn't working anymore you can go back to a stock firmware using sammobile.com and the program ODIN.
I have had this happen a few times..
What works for me
Hold volume up+Power+Home.
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe Davlik cache
Reboot.
As has been said you need to wipe data in CWM (vol up + home + power.)

Hi guys, i have a canadian version G850W (should be the same as the G850A), and I was trying to root it following this instruction for G850F :skyneel.com/2014/09/root-samsung-galaxy-alpha-sm-g850f-by-simple-tutorial.html
It did not work and bricked my phone, I then tried to recovery it with the original firmware i got from sammobile,com, but after rebooting the phone was stuck on the logo screen, i have tried two different firmwares and still the same thing. Can anyone please help me???!!!!
Thanks a million!!!
try to get into recovery mod and wipe /factory reset then the other option wipe data then reboot , see if this help you
Firstly, DO NOT flash anything to your phone that is for a different model and just assume it will work for yours, as you've discovered it usually ends in disaster. Secondly, DO NOT flash anything to your phone that is for a different model and just assume it will work for yours, as you've discovered it usually ends in disaster. Thirdly, remember firstly and secondly.
Now then, its no good trying two different firmwares, get the exact firmware for your country and carrier, flash it using the latest odin with your phone in download mode(volume down, home button and power button then volume up to confirm), then when its done and starting to reboot, pull the battery. Then replace the battery and, as @omarsalah007 has said, enter recovery,(hold volume up, home button and power button all together) once in recovery use the volume key to move down to "wipe data/factory reset", then press power button to select, also try "wipe cache partition". If it doesn't work I'm out of ideas unfortunately, I wish you luck.

Please help me
I think you should install a new rom via TWRP. Just google the process. Don't worry. Take the risk.
As long as you follow the instructions, Everything's gonna be fine.
sorry bad english

well, my laptop didnt recognize the phone, but tried hard could get it done, and install stock rom with odin but, now its stuck on the samsung logo now, an infinite loop. dont know what i can do anymore
I haven't encounter that problem before. Did you try using Custom Recovery? Becauase you install ROMs via ODIN.

1) make sure that you have the latest usb drivers and the latest odin version
2) run odin as administrator and locate your stock rom
3) power off the phone
4) press and hold power home and volume down buttons simultaneously
5) connect your usb cable to your device
6) press volume up to continue
(at this point you should see that odin added your device, if so => start)
7) wait until flashing is done
8) unplug the phone when it says so (you'll see pass or done message)
9) wait up to 15 minutes just to be sure that its actually stuck on boot (i once waited 20 min to start :S)
10) if the phone dont start after 15 min then press and hold power home and volume up button simultaneously
11) in recovery mode wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition
if this doesnt help im sure that someone from the forum will come up with the solution you just have to be patient
cheers mate

Add the CSC and the BL files too with the .tar.md5 file in their respective places. And then start the process

Hi guys.
I seriously need help right now.
My friend bought an s2 i9100 in cheep which was stuck on bootloop and he thought it could be repaired.
so we don't know what caused the problem.
But i was surprised that few repair shops weren't able to fix it.
let me explain the problem:-
when we hold power button or plug in a charger it show the logo, goes into recovery and reboots repeating it in loop.
so whenever i charge it goes into this loop.
we can use volume up & down key in those 2-3 seconds in recovery but not the power key.
we can access download mode and it doesn't reboots automatically but going into recovery mode manually also start this loop.
it's like we are only going in recovery mode again & again.
i installed this file "I9100XWLPW_I9100ODDLPC_I9100DDLPB_HOME.tar.md5" through odin and also used the pit file "I9100_STOCK-System_2GB-Data_512MB-Preload.pit" but nothing changed.
i don't know what to do now.
i cant find any gingerbread rom to test.
i don't know how it can be fixed,
so please help me.
Update
After doing a lot of things I finally managed to boot into system but the problem is not solved.
I flashed i9100XXLSJ which had modem and CSC files other than the PDA only.
The device actually booted in system (just the samsung logo) but it was a bootloop.
This time I kept holding power button by which the bootloop stopped and it successfuly booted but power button is not working inside the system so I can't reboot, power off or even switch on the screen.
By holding down up vol + home + power for a considerable long time I can boot into recovery. But again the power button is not working so I can't select any option.
I flashed a cwm touch recovery which is working.
So can anyone tell me what is the problem here and what can I do to actually fix it.
If you have problems with flashing stock ROM, consider flashing a custom ROM, like Cyanogenmod.

The problem is not about flashing it's about the bootloop & tell me can I flash cyanogenmod with Odin?
@kuro2052
Try flashing the 4.1.2 JellyBean leak ROM via ODIN linked in this thread (scroll down to you see "Another option for i9100"):
[GUIDE][Troubleshoot a failed Odin flash]
This will factory reset the device which may hopefully resolve your problems.

Actually the ROM you are talking about is the ROM which I flashed which is mentioned in my second post " update".
PDA = CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar
PHONE = MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar
CSC = CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.tar.
That's how I got this far, previously it was impossible to boot into system.

In CWM touch recovery, you can swipe (or touch) to confirm the option.
Try factory reset. Reboot.
If that doesn't help, try wiping system, cache and data.
Let me know how that goes

Wiping data/factory reset and cache doesn't solve the problem.
There is format option in 'mounts and storage' so I formated system, data, cache & also emmc. But the bootloop is not gone. The only thing that is gone is the ROM because of those formats. I have yet to to install the ROM again.
maybe is a faulty power button... Do u have to push it down a little harder than normal?

It might be the problem of power button. Sometimes it boots as soon as I put the battery. It always boot when I plug in charger. Sometimes it boots after I press and hold the power key for maybe 15 second & sometimes it doesn't boot when holding power key & I have leave hold again to boot it. And important thing is when it boots, I have to hold the power key until the key lights up to stop it from bootloop but then the power is Jo longer functional in system. Same goes for recovery. But this is the only till nowROM which actually boots into system. Other ROMs were booting into recovery automatically.
I wanted to test cyanogenmod but I am not able to install twrp. I followed the steps here using HeimdallSuite https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys2i9100.html
I had no problem in the steps but the recovery is not actually replaced when I boot into it.
The recovery that I have currently is not able to flash isorec_twrp or any cyanogenmod directly. It always shows error code 7.
I am going to replace the power button with my friend's s2 (other friend who have an s2 laying around) only to see it works.
Anyways tell me how to install twrp successfuly.
The actual power button needs to soldered, I thought It would be a connector, so I am not going to do that. But as far as I can tell, the plastic button isn't the problem.

check the battery contacts...
My phone has problems after calibrating the battery with an app I think that was the beginning, the phone when I turn it off is stuck on the power off does not let me enter fastboot or recovery mode. It does not turn on with just pressing the button I have to press it several times or for several seconds to start it, when the same restart is left off it does not restart only, I try to restore it from the system and it does not stay off, I have a rom 6.0.1 The truth is that I do not want to reinstall the stock rom but I can not get into fastboot mode because of the problem and it always costs me to turn it on, everything started when installing a program for. Calibrate battery.
The phone is not brick i used al day long but i have this problem..

This solve mi problem to enter in fastboot mode i flash the firmware KitKat 4.4.4 un evereything OK put when i turn of the phone the same problem don't restart the phone i need to pulse for many time the button for my moto e turn on why this happen even if i reinstal the firmware don't solvet
Try to erase cache from fast boot itself, ( fastboot erase cache) and remove the recovery (fastboot erase recovery) then flash the latest twrp again( google the procedure if u don't know)
Then again wipe ALL partitions except the SD card where u have put the custom ROM( I recommend using a custom ROM like lineage os(stable)(latest nightly) instead of stock)
Also don't restore any previously backed up data from twrp, and after successfully flashing the ROM let it boot. It might take time( 15 mins). Also ensure that your phone is charged > 50%
@norbertoramones You can have a look at my XDA DevDB project: Unbrick hard bricked Motorola Moto E - Aravind V. Nair (XDA)
It might be of help. If you can get fastboot to work, use the 'Fastboot Unbrick.bat' script I have made and everything will be back to normal. ARe you able to boot to the OS?
