So I got my Gtablet today and after charging I immediately began to flash a new rom. My first step was to install CWM. I downloaded CWM internal and loaded the two files onto the root of the internal sdcard. It initially booted into CWM. I rebooted. It would boot into the stock rom but would not load CWM. I would press the + volume and power. Every time it would hang at the birds. I attempted to delete CWM from the internal card and reinstall. No luck. So I searched around the boards and someone mentioned they had the same problem and fixed it by resetting to factory in the settings menu. I tried that. It immediately rebooted and now it hangs at the birds. It says loading recovery kernel but nothing happens. It won't load into the stock rom. It hangs and says loading recovery kernel image, but doesn't do anything. So as of now my brand new gtablet isn't working.
Any advice?
Sounds like you have a 1.2 bootloader and tried to load CWM for the 1.1 version. You'll probably need to nvflash a good stock recovery image into place to let it finish that data wipe or nvflash back to a factory stock condition.

I flashed the following KA6, and I didn't realize it would wipe my apps and contacts. I took a nanroid backup using CWM beforehand, and I'm trying to boot into CWM to restore my backup. However whenever I tell CWM to reboot into recovery or to restore the backup, the phone reboots into the standard Samsung Andriod e3 recovery, which does not allow me to restore my backup.
How can I get CWM to boot up so I can do a restore?

I figured it out.
I'm having the same problem. How did you fix it?
I have flashed, deleted the clockwork recovery files, re-flashed, rebooted, etc, etc.
I can only get the standard blue recovery mode. I run reinstall packages and all it does is quickly shows it's attempting to install the clockwork update.zip file but just boots back into the blue standard recovery mode. Yes I have confirmed the update.zip file is there. I have removed it, reflashed, rebooted, etc. Running reinstall packages takes me into a constant loop.
This really sux.
Anyone got ideas on what my problem might be?
Thanks
Getting the same, and when I go check on my rom backups of my default OS there are no roms to be found after it says it created them successfully.
I erased any existing update.zip, then I told clockworkmod to reinstall, boot into recovery, in the blue menu I selected reinstall package, it rebooted into blue recovery again, and I selected reinstall package for the second time and then it finally rebooted into clockworkmod.
If this doesn't work you can try to follow this guide to get clockworkmod working again.

In the mist of my experimenting trying to get this to work, I did use the app Quickboot which is on the phone already to boot the phone into download mode. Then I did a hard reset (hold power button for 10 seconds), and tried the whole process I described in the previous post. I would guess this is not necessary, but it's just what I did.
Hi guys, I got a SGS2 just over a week ago, on Bell/Virgin network in Canada. Suffered from the battery drain issue due to being stuck with crappy UGKG2 firmware which my provider still hasn't updated.
I decided to update it myself, and did a ton of research. I successfully got Root tonight by flashing CF-Root-SGS2_ZS-OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 kernel with Odin. In case it matters, I did NOT flash back my stock Kernel, so I still had the insecure kernel installed. From there, I backed up my apps with Titanium.
Went into CWM and selected boot into CWM Recovery. I followed the steps on the wiki, including creating a backup file. My only hint of what I might have done wrong was I originally selected to flash update.zip, and that process failed. I then went to the directory in which cyanogenmod is stored on my SD card, and selected that, then it installed ok. I had downloaded update-cm-7.10-GalaxyS2-signed and that's what I put on the phone. I then also installed the Google Apps.
I then hit reboot, and it only goes to the Samsung screen with the yellow triangle and just hangs there for a few minutes. Not knowing what else to do, I popped the battery out. I have since learned that I can turn it on and off, but it never goes past that screen. Wouldn't go into the recovery or download modes, always that screen. Luckily, I saw somewhere to do the 3 button thing WHILE in that screen, and that works. So I can get to recover, and download modes. So, I think I'm ok. I checked, and it does connect to Odin still.
I just want to know EXACTLY what I should do at this point. I don't want to fully brick it. There are actually two recovery files on the phone... not sure why... Or which one to pick. Should I just flash stock firmware back with Odin? One of my main goals is to get off 2.3.3 so I can have more than 8 hours of battery...
Thanks,
Rob
Boot into tecovery, do a full wipe again. (Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, advanced>wipe dalvik cache).
Now install CM7 zip twice in a row without reboot. It may take a few minutes for reboot since system is rebuilding dalvik cache. Be patient. After you see the home screen, reboot again.
Sometimes, CM won't install properly with CF root recovery. In that case reboot into download mode, flash codeworkx cwm kernel via ODIN.

Now reboot into recovery and do full wipe and twice-install !
Ok, working now with the flash twice thing. Well that's weird, would be great if it was in the wiki page...
Thanks!

Resolved - when after many attempts to boot into recovery I gave up and downloaded the Odin version of CWM and was trying to go into boot mode I accidentally managed to go into recovery and was able to recover. I think I will stay away from goo manager or rom manager - neither worked for me. Never had problems just following posted steps on XDA.
I decided to take the plunge and flash my first rom and now my phone is stuck on the CM9 boot loop. I had rooted with CMW through odin followed by superuser. I was on stock ics. I replaced cwm with twrp. No problems up to this point I then downloaded cm9 and the gaaps with goo manager. then tried to flash it after backing up, deleting data, dalvik and cache. It did not work but instead booted back into stock with all my data gone. I added back in my google accounts and wifi password. Then downloaded quick boot. Booted into recovery and installed the CM9 and fgaaps zips.
Now it just cycles in the cynagen bootloop ans will not boot into recovery. In my attempts to get boot recovery started it did once go into download mode. Anyway to recover using odin?
So you are up and running okay ??....g
Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!
Hi all,
New to this whole rooting and flashing thing. I'm not as good with computers that one can hold in their hand.
Anyways, I'll try to explain this stew of issues that I have
I'm running CW Recovery (6.0.2.3) in conjunction with SlimBean (dtt 4.2.2). One day, in a far away land, my phone prompted me to update Slim. That was all and dandy because I've flashed roms from zip files before. When I tried to do that, the process was aborted and I was given a slew of error numbers that made my brain hurt.
So, I tried to start fresh and clean, like the cilantro that chipotle puts in our burrito bowls. I tried a factory reset using the CW Recovery mode so I can re-root now that jellybean is 4.3. After I wiped the cache and data/factory reset, I rebooted the phone. My phone still boots into Slim and uses clockwork for recovery mode.
Essentially, how do I de-root my phone or factory reset it to the settings that I had from day 1?
UPDATE: I just tried flashing CW Recovery from 6.0.2.3 --> 6.0.4.7. After flashing it, I rebooted my phone into recovery. Now I'm getting a never-ending boot cycle. The samsung logo pops up along with the little blue text "recovery" at the top, then shuts off and repeats that every 3 seconds or so. Methinks I broke it
Thanks
