Hello,
I just install the new villain rom, but the problem is after the final restart the screen is stick with this angry dark droid pic. I can turn it of and when turn on again is the same. I dont know if this is normal and should i wait it more then 10 minutes.
If you have waited 10 minutes you can figure she probably aint going to boot. I would flash back the stock rom via odin and boot to make sure you are back at ground zero. Then I would flash the cw 4.xx kf2 kernal in odin. You will now be rooted and have the latest cwm recovery. Place the villian rom on the root of your external and boot into recovery and do a reset data/wipe. Then go ahead and flash villain while still in recovery. The phone will boot. Nab the kf2 radio on page one of villian's thread and flash it in odin. Last, flash the cw 4.xx kf2 kernal again, you can do this in cwm and you should be living large.

Just flash again and follow the instructions is what i suggest .

If you came from a stock ROM and didnt wipe data through recovery then that is your issue..
As mentioned, follow the in thread instructions, to the letter....

Tried rooting S2 then using Odin to update firmware to 2.3.4 but it failed. Now all I get is a message saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
Because I wasn't using Kies I haven't got a recovery code.
Is there an idiots guide to getting my phone to work? I'm a bit of a noob and have searched for solutions but can't find any.
Thanks in advance.
I don't think that's bricked. Just pull out the battery for 10 seconds and put it back.
Factory reset via recovery and install a stock rom via Odin.

Flash a kernel with CWM over odin, boot into CWM recovery, copy a custom rom to internal sd card and flash this using CWM

No its not bricked.i dont see why you shouldnt have a recovery mode.You dont need to root to upgrade either.pull the battery and leave it out a while.when you swith your phone back on boot into download mode and reflash a stable firmware.
Thanks everyone, I panicked. All sorted now.
Whenever i install a custom rom my sgs2 bootloops, it runs fine on the ones i flash with odin, but when i try to flash a custom rom it bootloops the i9100 screen and i can't even get into recovery, only download mode...
Name a ROM that's not flashing for you and list your install procedure.
Which other ROMs have you tried to install? What recovery do you currently have?
latest clockworkmod recovery...i reboot into it i wipe data and dalvick, then i install the rom and reboot(i am not a newbie) i have tried with cyanogenmod 7 and 9 , and some custom roms here in the forums...MIUI also...

CM7 (and CM7 based ROMs) has to be flashed twice from recovery, and often won't flash from a CF Root kernel; instructions in the Nightly thread, post 1.
I had no issue flashing CM9 but I came to it from CM7 so I had CWMR 5.0.2.7 already. I'm unsure if people flashing from a CF Root kernel have issue moving to CM9 directly or not.
i am on latest recovery i told you and i tried with other roms 2

What's your latest recovery? I have 5.5....
Did you flash twice from recovery like I asked? Did you flash from a cf root kernel?
Since you're not giving useful info I'll unsubscribe from this thread now.
Miui = cm7 based

sorry, i am on cwm recovery 5.0.2.7
And did you flash cm7 TWICE from recovery? It won't install otherwise.
Sent from a Phone
yes i flashed it twice, also when i chose the zip it finishes installing in like 2-3 seconds, from what i know a rom takes about 30 seconds to install at least, and then it bootloopes from the samsung galaxy s i9100 screen with the yellow triangle and it keeps restarting and i can't even get into recovery after that, i have to flash cf-root kernel again in recovery then i install simple and clean 2.4(only rom that works besides stock) and i do it all again:|...also when i try to install cm7 with rom manager, when it reboots to install the rom it boots into the stoock recovery and gives me an error, does the battery level count?
Downgrade CWM to an older version.
Flash cfroot KK5 or something like that via Odin and see if that makes a difference.
Also intratech has the old bootloader in his thread to flash via Odin. Might help also.

ok thank you i will report back
Have same problem after flashing KP8 rom... I believe it installed new bootloaders and it won't flash the older ones again.
Went through about 5 or 6 stock roms, some booted but had problems with google and the phone apks . Reloaded kp8 and it works perfectly... Don't have time to play around, working.... Something to do later...
CyanogenMod7
To start off a clean slate :
1. Flash XWKK5 ( Frankenstein build ) from intratech's thread via Odin
2. Flash CF-Root for XWKK5
3. Boot into CWM
4. Wipe data
5. Wipe cache
6. Advanced -> Wipe dalvik cache
7. Install zip from sdcard -> CyanogenModxxx.zip (xxx=version)
8. AGAIN Install zip from sdcard -> CyanogenModxxx.zip
9. Reboot phone
10. If your still getting a bootloop but your keys are backlit , turn off phone , remove and reinsert battery, turn it on
CyanogenMod9
You need to flash the new bootloader too ( read instructions on the CM9 thread)
MIUI
Same as CM7 , except you don't need to flash it twice
Hope i helped
EDIT : Going back from CM9 -> You CANT flash CM7 , you have to flash stock first then CM7 , also you need the old bootloader

How is your data and/or internet connection? Have you checked the md5 sums of any of the cm7 DL's?
data and internet are fine on other roms, the downloads are good i have downloaded from official site several times
So why do you see a need to have three seperate threads on the one topic

If u have searched u must have find the answer.
Whenever you are flashing any Samsung custom rom and stuck on boot screen, just flash any CFROOT kernel via odin it will boot.
and for CM7 & MIUI just flash Siyah 2.1 or Speedmod 13...it should boot.
This problem was faced by me and I did found the above solutions.
@MODERATORS kindly delete the duplicate posts....

Not true, Mine goes into boot loop constantly... If it does boot then I get error about google and phone apks and can't get past the "touch the android" page....
I believe their is a minority of sgsII's tha have this problem, might be something to do with the new bootloaders not being completely wiped but it doesn't matter how many times I install a stock rom I get problems... And yes, I always flash the cfroot kernels after... Doesn't help....
Hi.
Having come from the HTC HD2,I am a complete noob when it comes to galaxy s2 and flashing Roms etc;
I know I had problems.....until I discovered that unlike the HD2,placing a rom on the sd card means placing it into the internal memory of the phone and not the sd card you have inserted.
Hope this helps!

What I meant was:
SD card = internal memory of phone i.e. 16Gb
External SD card = the micro SD card you physically insert into the phone
Hello. I have some problem with my Galaxy Ace (FROYO 2.2.1). I tried to install ClockWorkMod but i think i did somthing wrong (i think i followed the steps for GINGERBREAD). My phone works fine but when i try to access recovery mode (POWER+HOME) it freezes at SAMSUNG mode. Is it a way to restore to previous recovery mode? If i reset to factory from setting, will it restore? Wat is the best way to have ClockWorkMod installed, because i tried to find on forum but every post doesn't give all steps, but just ACRONIMS that i don't understand. Please help me.
that because u flash clockworkmod recovery for gingerbread on froyo.
u need to flash stock gingerbread rom via odin and u'll get stock recovery back.
after that u can continue to flash clockworkmod recovery for gingerbread like u did earlier on froyo and u'll have fully working clockworkmod recovery.
no acronims typed
I conseder myself a smart guy (regular smart). I jailbreaked my iphone and Ipad. I HARD SPLed my HTC diamond and HD2 and installed a lot of cooked roms. BUT i find quite dificult to understand how to do what you told me up: how do I know what GINGERBREAD ROM is best for my ACE? How do i use ODIN (where i get the TAR and OPS?) I am not lazy. I know how to use the forum and search button. But for 2 days i'm reading and i don't understand...(a lot of acronims and not many follow-up steps). Thks a lot...if you can help me
for me myself, best gingerbread rom is cm7.2. it still unofficial, still contains bugs, and battery drain is noticeable compared to stock rom. but its suites me well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380800
for custom rom based on stock, gingerreal 2.0 seems pretty good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228436
eitherway, because u still on froyo u need to flash stock samsung's gingerbread via odin first, then flash clockworkmod recovery.
read this howto use odin to flash stock gingerbread rom, but first do backup all your data.
http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/09/odin-guide-how-to-updateupgrade-samsung.html
then u can continue to flash clockworkmod recovery.
download the ClockWorkModAce.zip file, put in sdcard, turn off phone, reboot into stock recovery (home+power button) and flash it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168417
now that u have stock gingerbread with clockworkmod recovery, u can flash any custom rom based on stock like gingerreal, or cm7.1 or cm7.2.
read instruction howto flash those rom on first page of those rom respective thread.
Thks for the reply. you helped me a lot. But i managed to recover the recovery )) by ODIN and a TAR custom made for fix. And a managed to install CWM. But i will start to put GINGERBREAD. I can put the ROM from your link? Isn't custom for everyphone to have different ROM? I mean my phone has PDA: S5830XWKAA PHONE: S5830XXKA6 and CSC: S5830OXXKA7. What all these number means? Do i have to check them when choosing a ROM? Thank you!
so now u still on froyo right?
u need to flash stock samsung's gingerbread first. all of those custom rom need stock gingerbread rom as base, cannot directly flash them onto froyo.
read my previous post, the link to flash samsung's stock gingerbread using odin.
I've read. I upgraded to gingerbread you helped me a lot Anytime you come in ROMANIA i buy you a beer ))
i'm glad it works
I am using SGS2 i9100 and rooted and CWM installed as follows:
1. PC Odin Flash LPB Firmware (ICS 4.0.3).
2. PC Odin Flash CF Root LPB Kernel.
3. Mobile Odin Flash Stock LPB Kernel to remove Yellow triangle.
4. Mobile Odin Flash CF Kernel again to get CWM Recovery as well as root.
So far everything is OK. I can boot to recovery and installed CheckROM v6. Perfect no problems.
Then decided to try MIUI (ICS) when it was released. After complete wipe, ROM installation completed and on reboot > Kernel Panic Upload Mode. Couldn't boot to recovery Just to Download Mode. Had to follow steps 1 to 4 again to get Phone working with root and recovery. Tried a couple of times with MIUI from different sources like miui.us or miuiandroid.com but same result. So back to CheckRom v6 which works without problem.
With recent better ICS ROMs available, tried to install Omega v1.0. Again Kernel Panic Upload Mode. Followed steps 1 to 4 again. Tried Omega 12.0 used by lot of people. Again Kernel Panic Upload Mode. Tried PC Odin Flash of Siyah Kernel. Got the Siyah screen to show on bootup but this remained a while ... ROM did not boot and then screen turned to Kernel Panic Upload Mode after waiting a couple of minutes.
After again doing steps 1 to 4 I am back on CheckROM v6 which works flawlessly.
Why can I not use any rom which tons of users are using? Is there a hardware peculiarity which is preventing this? Should I try out old or new or ICS bootloaders? I don't want to mess with bootloaders as I hear these can hard brick the device.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
PS: My Complete Wipe steps are:
1. Remove user data/Factory reset.
2. Clear Cache
3. Clear Dalvik Cache.
4. Optionally Format system partition in mounts and storage.
The reason is obvious ....Why old LPB???? Stay away.....
Start again from the GB rom better 2.3.5 from odin
Root with cf root and flash any rom what you want from CWM...
No need to change bootloader again...the one you get along with the gb rom is enough further for all
OK I have KE8 (Gingerbread ROM 2.3.3 which is latest for my location) downloaded. Will a PC Odin flash of this remove my current troublesome bootloaders? Or should I download another GB Rom 2.3.5 or newer for PC Odin Flash?
PS: I used LPB assuming that an ICS Rom would give me the bootloaders which would not give me headaches from installing custom ROMs from XDA here. If someone could explain to me where my logic went wrong?
ZACQ8 you called LPB old, but wouldn't it be newer than the 2.3.5 GB ROMs?

you can flash the one which you are having now, but make sure CF-root is available for that to Root and install CWM, for your further flashing of ROMs,
yes that will replace the bootloader, but doesnt matter, it will be ok for all custom roms, (unless some Rom devs insist to replace bootloader first for their Roms)
I told the LPB is the old in the sence, it is old beta release among the ICS versions. Kernel Panic was highly reported while using this version.
Kernel panic Mode is hardly reported when people are coming from GB roms and installing Roms from CWM. that is why I sugested flash a GB rom from ODIN then move to any ROM through CWM.
You can also flash and try latest ICS version from ODIN.
Cool. That's the task for tonight then.
Sent from my GNex on AOKP.
if you are flashing a custom ICS ROM take the LP9 version,
one custom ROM with LP8 version has gaven me once the Kernel Panic
Goodluck
Thanks that worked. Installed Omega 1.0. Downloading Omega 2.1. No kernel panics. So from now the phone shoul dbe trouble fre hopfully.
wen u get prblms instead of keeping on flashing jus stop an ask..
flash stock gb after wipe..
then root properly..
don go for any rcs,beta,alpha root release....
then its a good idea to flash stock ics ...
wen u get a clear pic,u can go for aokp,aosp which will b diff...
bottom line kno some basics instead of jumping far away......cheerz
Looks like I'm in the same situation, I had used odin to flash with I9100_CODE_I9100XXLP2_CL57619_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 back in Jan/Feb and flashed it with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LP2-v5.2-CWM5 kernel.
I was then able to flash new ROMS no problem with CWN
Then flashed the other day with the latest Ressurection Remix 2.2 and am getting the dreaded "Kernel Panic...."
So I'm back to the I9100_CODE_I9100XXLP2_CL57619_REV02_user_low_ship ROM.
My plan is to flash it with a 2.3.6 ROM using odin, then apply the CF-Root kernel and from there I'm hoping I can then apply Ressurection Remix ROM.
I'm just a bit unsure of which versions of the ROMS to use, I haven't been able to find a guide to selecting the correct versions for my phone. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Guys,
I have a samsung s2 with some version 4.1.2(I don't remember).
I wanted to upgrade it to JB 4.2.1
I went to some links which mentioned that I should install CWM recovery before going for flashing of ROM.
However what mistake i did is I tried to load GT-I9100_ICS_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar on the phone using ODIN (which I think is an ICS version).
With this...problem is I am able to go to download mode, also I can go to CWM recovery mode with errors like unable to mount the sd card.
But the phone does not start.
It boots to the start-up screen and shows a yellow warning triangle below and shuts down.
I am not able to use the phone at all.
Need some help. Is there a way to go to stock firmware or to remove this CWM recovery to take it to whatever android stock firmware version it was.
Please help.
Download stock rom from Samfirmware, flash with Odin (How ? Thread stickied near top of Q&A has all the info you need). Clean slate.
Then flash custom kernel to root your phone & give you CWM. Flash custom rom/kernel of your choice.
