I have a Galaxy S2 with TIM ROM and the only ROM that I managed to start is the Villain 1.1.
After each flash with Odin (single file, so no repartition, no file. pit), the cell will restart after the Samsung logo or Tim logo (I tried to flash the Stock ROM Tim).
Please, someone can give a plausible explanation?
Read the first post of the VillainROM thread. The bit in red specifically. You need to wipe your data partition in recovery to flash another ROM.
Also this is the development thread. You asked a question. Read the XDA rules
VillainROM wipes the phone in its first start because it changes a signature. I guess if you want to use the original Rom again you will need to wipe the phone from recovery with vol+ - home - on-button, while having the original Rom flashed.

I had the same problem and it started after I installed Villain 1.1. I was able to Odin flash both stock and AngeloM roms but the only rom that would reboot was the Villian 1.1 rom. All the other roms just went round and round in circles continually reloading the boot animation. I was finally able to to get both stock and AngeloM roms to boot by pulling the battery to stop the endless circle , booting into recovery by holding home, power & volume up buttons, selecting and doing the cache wipe with the home button (not the power button), then selecting and doing a data wipe/factory reset, and finally rebooting. After doing all this I was able to run both stock and AngeloM roms. Strange that now the selection key in recovery is the home button and not the power button.
In recovery i've always used the home button to select..

It is illogical (apologies to Spock) for comments, questions, etc, regarding a development issue or rom to be in a different section. I would agree the guy should have read the rom thread more carefully and added his issue or question to the rom thread instead of starting a new thread. I would not agree it belongs in q & a.

Reason that came about was to prevent the thousands of idiot posts in the Dev section . Many not relating to the actual post and multiple new threads .
Its an SGS forum problem we are missing a search button or the FAQ on using a search button .

Wipe Data + cache files and it will work
thanks for this thread....panicked when i ohone was in a loop for 10 mins
With a resigned rom (villian and likely more coming) you do not want to let the phone boot up again between wipe and reflash or you will boot loop. Make sure that you wipe and then go directly to download mode for an odin install by shutting the phone off after the wipe by holding the power button and then restarting directly in download mode. If you let it boot that resigning will be there again and you will fail to flash what will be a differently signed rom and are in boot loop. For cw it becomes a non issue if you move from the wipe directly to the flash while in recovery.
Edit... It almost seems to me like it would be a good idea to have a flashing section for these questions. A big chunk of Q&A is taken up with them and it would serve a number of purposes. First it would get them out of Q&A leaving it for the more general questions which is plenty enough. It would get the questions and responses on flashing and roms in one place making it easier to find answers. It would allow chefs who are inclined to roll through and check out issues folks might be having with their rom to find those posts quickly and easily. This I think would be a better answer than putting them in development.

I also have this issue, seems to be random i can flash using odin, but using cwm is hit and miss, most the time it will get stuck on boot screen, If i do manage to get into recovery the sd is not mounted and i cant do anything. only option is to get into download and flash using odin.

So a few days ago my galaxy s2 shut it self off and wouldn't start again. Wouldn't charge the battery, just sat there with the empty battery symbol. I by passed the battery and directly wired a cut usb cord onto the battery terminals. It worked! But now wont boot past the "Samsung Galaxy s2" white on black logo screen. I have reflashed the PDF, PHONE, and CSC though odin with 10 different files I found around these forms and across the internet. Nothing made any difference and it still sticks on the logo screen. Anything else I could try before sending it away? :/
Also I never installed any custom ROM or firmware on it, it was totally stock. I am also with Bell in Canada if that helps.
If you've already tried flashing stock firmware via Odin, probably not. Does it successfully flash in Odin, I.E do you get the green pass box & the phone auto reboot ? If not, copy/paste (or type) the details from the 'message' section in Odin when it's doing the flash here.
Yep every time I have done it it has said passed and my phone has restarted.
I followed this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458,
And did everything including flashing the bootloader, except using the .pit and re-partitioning because I'm afraid I will hard brick it, but it still had the same result. Won't boot past logo and wont go into recovery only download.
Why did you flash the bootloader ? You don't normally do that save for very specific situations.
OK. So you followed that guide using files from Samfirmware. I have absolutely no idea about files from that site or how they work/what to do with them as I've flashed anything from that site & doubt I would.
Given you can still get into download mode, only thing I can suggest is to download a stock rom from Intratech's thread from here & flash in PDA section of Odin if links work, if not, download stock firmware for your carrier/country with the PC version of Checkfus & flash that in the PDA section of Odin. In both cases, only one file and no mucking around.
I flashed the bootloader because that very official looking guide told me to lol
"Have you done everything correctly until now? Then...
Congratulations on recovering your phone!
You deserve some cake afterwards, and some rest
Now, if your problem is the NAND rw coruption, and wasn't fixed by the above fix, then follow these steps :
5) Download the Kernel. Flash it in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning
6) Successful? Nice, hope is still present.
7) Flash the recovery package, following steps 1-4 This should fix your issue. If it does not, then :
WARNING : FLASHING A BOOTLOADER IS DANGEROUS. FLASH WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
8) Download the Bootloader. Flash it as PDA or Bootloader in ODIN. Without ticking Re-Partitioning
9) Flash the Kernel, as in step 5
10) Flash the recovery package, like in steps 1-4 And that will fix any of your issues
I hope that this guide was helpful, and if it was, hit the thanks button! "
Because my phone did not get bricked by trying to use custom ROM I feel its different then everyone else's problems here. Maybe its a bad app, is there a way to hard wipe my phone from where I am? Thanks very much for responding btw.
Guides don't necessarily work the way they're supposed to is all I'll say.
No, your problem is not different to every other case like this we see here maybe 20 times a week. A bad flash/not being able to get into recovery/can get into download mode is a bad flash/not being able to get into recovery/can get into download mod.
You're not going to wipe it without getting into recovery. You could try and flash a rooted kernel that has recovery (CFRoot ?), but frankly best advice I can give you is to do what I suggested in my last post.
You're welcome
Ok I got check fus and found the firmware for my phone. I'l try using it to flash in ODIN but it does't seem like it will be any different then the other 10 firmwares I have tried
When you flash it, make sure you're plugged into a powered/mainboard USB port on your PC, make sure Kies/it's processes aren't running in Windoze Task Manager (if they are, kill them. You need the drivers that come with Kies to use Odin, but they mess with each other if they're running @ the same time), ensure you're running Odin as admin, and use the USB cable which came with the phone if you have it.
I did exactly what you said, still stuck in bootloop.

And still can't get into recovery? Usually a full wipe will alleviate a boot loop.
If you're now in boot loop, the ROM is corrupted, think of it as a Windows loading forver. Just push a new ROM compatible to your device, I recommend stock for now, and see if it will boot normally.
I only experience boot loop once during my CM 7 installation, I reinstalled the ROM and everything works perfectly.

You obviously did not do what I said.
I said "If you did everything and it didn't work, proceed to flash the Kernel and/or the bl".
You did 't use the .PIT and re-partition. If you use it, it'll fix the phone.
Have you flashed the kernel?
Plus, you have a soft bricked phone, period. The only different thing from others is how it happened
Flash the kernel. And then the recovery package. Without the .PIT. If that doesn't work, use the .PIT.
Just a FYI : I once soft bricked my phone when flashing a stock ROM. So yeah, soft bricks happen with almost all ROMs that are messy.
I did flash the kernel and the recovery package. At this point I haven't voided the warranty and I'm scared the flashing the .pit will do so. But I guess if that's the only thing I haven't done and you say it will fix it I will. I should use the one from the recovery package right? It will work on my Bell Canada I9100M?
Are you able to enter recovery by pressing volume up + home + power?
Have a read of my Helper Post...
Happened to me yesterday. Follow this:
1. Get Siyah kernel in .tar and flash it through odin.
2. Enter recovery and go to mount. In there format /data, /system, /cache, format all. Reboot recovery.
3. Search for a wipe script in xda forum ex: sgs2 rom wipe or something like that. Put it in your phone and go to recovery and install it.
4. Boot in download mode and flash latest version of stock rom downloaded from sammobile.com
Thats how I soved mine. Good luck.

Let's save the pit file flash for last.
People see "PIT" and go like "oh, I gotta flash this".
They must think it's a magic file, or something.

Forgive me for barging in, but if am correct, flashing PIT files is needed only when u have messed up the partitions on ur device, right?
Would that happen if I flash another phone's firmware, like say an i9300?

Yeah, corrupted nand and all.
The thing is that people just love flashing pit files, my guess is they think "new ROM, maybe it needs more room, besides I've unzipped the .rar and the pit file is there. Gotta flash that in order for the ROM to work".
And then.....

Dear friends i am a newbie in this and i need your help... I am searching the entire forum a week now and i tried everything without result.
Some solutions and methods that is posted cannot fix my problem...
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with ICS 4.0.3 XXLP2 official a month ago and i have many problems with force closed apps, gps is very slow to trigger etc. So i download many ICS 4.0.4 from here to update my phone and here the problems start.
I used all the explanations methods to update but all the times i have the same problem. My phone stuck at start Galaxy Logo.
I want to explain you to be clear what i did and to reply me where i made mistakes.
I start with odin to get root access and everything was ok.
After that i moved the ICS 4.04 to my sd internal card via usb
I Perform a full wipe by selecting the following from the recovery menu
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Mounts and storage” menu, then select “Format system”
“Install zip from sdcard.”
I locate the zip file and i install it and i make a reboot.....
At this point my SGS2 stuck at Samusng logo and not resposding after 10 minutes of waiting. So i removed the battery and i try to use 3 button to go to recovery without result. So i used volume down + powen button to go to downloading mode and with odin i recover to 4.0.3 again. I used 5 diferrent ICS 4.0.4 and at the same point i have the same results...
So i choose other method like
wipe data/factory reset”.
advanced” and then “wipe dalvik cache”
mounts and storage”, then select “format system”.
Then, select “install zip from sdcard
reboot
the same problem is stucking to galaxy logo
So i tried and this method...
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Install the Main ROM
In recovery go to Advanced
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Fix Permissions
Wipe Cache Partition
Reboot
and again with no result is stucking at galaxy logo....
I tryed to flash the kernel and i get the Kernel Panic Upload Mode...
I used the latest siyal kernel to flash it. To gain access to root i used CWM 5
Where i am making a mistake? I can't understand it.
Please help me to update to ICS 4.0.4 to solve ICS 4.0.3 problems!!
Thanks for your valuable time!
Best regards
Michael
By 4.0.4 do you mean AOSP roms such as cm9? Maybe you flashed the XXLPQ leaked rom which has a bootloader packaged in it then that is the culprit. I remembered back in the early days of cm9 that if you have the xxlpq bootloader it will be stuck in the samsung logo (or was it bootlooping). If you use cm9 then download and flash the attached bootloader on the first post.
REMEMBER: Read first before doing anything, flashing bootloaders may brick your phone. Proceed with caution.

The uptop answer is totally true. You need new bootloader. Not too risky, but risky a bit. Better not unplug the USB at a critical state..

Best bet for you and safest, first wipe, than flash the latest xwlpd using Odin.
Now you have everything that works for 4.04 aosp/cm9 roms.

yeah i know, many guides i have done, walked through, but nothing helps. odin flashes without problem. phone restarts and still no recovery with bootloop... flashed this and that.. and still same issues.
Flash JB leak firmware via odin (comes as 3 parts - Pda, phone and csc). Then see if it boots. If it doesn't, try to enter recovery and factort reset.
Report back what happens.

I've seen a couple of these cases happening lately, my bet is on the bootloader, eventhough I don't encourage people to try flashing it. Or, as always, OP is holding something back.
Neo, I'm not familiar with the ROM being downloaded from a non-stable internet connection and I know you get them from an internet cafe. Now, is it possible that Odin would allow (flash) a corrupted ROM?

I literally did this yesterday. After you flash stock you have to boot into 3e (stock recovery) and wipe data. This will stop the bootloop and you can carry on with rooting if that's what you want.
It's better to wipe dalvik, you need CWM for that, that's why it's always suggested to flash a custom ROM when on a bootloop.
Sent from the little guy
jeah i know but whatever i flash i still have no recovery...
ok now its official. phone memory is problem, i went to service today and they told me that when i flash with odin the values that i flash dont stay in the memory, on the next boot
those values get clear, memory bug of some kind, he said that he can manual and direct approach to the motherboard and write recovery directly but he cant say if it will always
work like it is suppose to.
Hum....I think you're getting conned, as the matter of fact, he must be reading this right now.

You have posted in the development forum. Try Q&A.
Also if you can't find Odin file here, try to search google. You may find an active somewhere else. Other than that, you can wait. if I ever get off work I could probably scrounge up a copy to my dropbox.
Let me know if you find. Sorry, I won't have time until tomorrow afternoon . In middle of a work marathon on 2 jobs.

I don't have a back up of the original stock rom. All download links I have come across are dead. Need help to locate working DL links.
2-Wifey has the same exact phone rooted with CWM ver. 6 with stock JB rom. I am wondering if I take a back up of that and flash it to my phone if that will be ok or if that's a chance for a brick?

here's a link to stock jb:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CfFE5fSiMQS1NuZVZmUnRNYVU/view?usp=sharing
it includes the rom, cwm recovery, supersu, odin, kernel, and modem.
odin the rom first, then the recovery.
copy supersu to the phone and install thru cwm.
you'll need to update binaries.
also included is the current cwm recovery i use to install kit kat roms.

Hey thanx! Just a quick question - what is to update binaries and how do I go about that?

You have posted in the development forum. Try Q&A.
Also if you can't find Odin file here, try to search google. You may find an active somewhere else. Other than that, you can wait. if I ever get off work I could probably scrounge up a copy to my dropbox.
Let me know if you find. Sorry, I won't have time until tomorrow afternoon . In middle of a work marathon on 2 jobs.

once you get done installing and the phone booted up,
start supersu and follow the instructions.

Finally d/l at work, odined the rom and encountered "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Phone cannot enter recov. mode nor download mode. I tried kies and 2 issues came up 1 my phone has no serial number, I entered wife's S/No. (same exact phone, both made in Korea) but the second problem is that kies wants me to turn off phone, and enter d/l mode which isn't coming up.
I tried my JIG thingy but same screen comes up.
How do I fix this?
ATTN: MOD
If need be please move thread as appropriate.

Could be, really don't know for sure. Note has this screen. Anything I attempt it's resulting in the following screen below. DL mode, hit volume up and bam, same screen. Recovery, same deal, try to boot normally = same. Even a jig gets the DL mode first screen and then bam! Is there any way to fix this or Is the phone at the point of jtag repair, or worse a brick?

plugin Samsung device to PC and start Odin
Fill in the corresponding files
AP CP BL CSC or HOME_CSC
*Home CSC will keep the data , CSC will wipe it*
Once it displays connected start flashing
*TIP* uncheck auto reboot in Odin and don't touch any of the other settings. After it's finished, manually boot into recovery mode and perform a factory reset , wipe the data
Good luck.

I have used Odin to unbrick , root, put twrp on my beyond1 (S10) and it has worked for me. Yes you can use this, but I take no responsibility
On my phone SM-G973F I have installed Android 11. System is root with Magisc. When I have root with Magisc, I can't have TWRP. If I have TWRP, I can't root with Magisc.

I think you just need to patch the recovery image with magisk. Read more on it here
Hey, I just came across your thread to revert to stock & thought maybe you can help me out. I was flashing some rom on my s10 & it bricked. So I went to Odin & tried flashing the stock firmware. Now the issue is that even though the stock firmware is successfully flashing, the phone won't boot at all. After odin finishes flashing, the phone reboots to show an erasing screen. The cycle runs for lesser than a second, freezes & the screen turns off after which no matter what I try I can't reboot the phone. I can still go into recovery & download mode but can't boot the system. Any help would be appreciated like crazy!
I had a similar problem. With Frija app, again I downloaded the Installation Pack for Android. After that, I installed Android with Odin and everything was okay. I have chosen CSC, I did not choose HOME CSC.

Yeah I guess so everything will be stock but the unlocked bootloader
Will OTA updates work after returning to stock?

Yeah I got it figured out. I think the issue was with the kernel. I flashed a kernel with a custom rom first & that booted just fine. Once I went through the boot process, I started the phone in download mode & flashed the stock os. It brought my phone right back

I had LOS19 on there, wiped everything then flashed derpfest to try & it kept rebooting. So then I thought might be the FW/Bootloader so flashed that & I think I triggered the ARB. Downloaded the latest FW, installed via Odin & this, can only get into download mode or Samsung recovery. How can this happen when you flash all original FW via Odin, starange
