Make sure you have the lastest cwm.if you have older version it will bootloop and just because you boot loop don't mean there is something wrong with your phone its something your doing wrong.

make sure u wipe cache dalvik and data(reset) after kens rom
I just did the biggest F-Up of my flashing life. While following QBKing77's Rooting & CWM with unlocked, at approx 3:50, during the flashing of the root SYSTEM.img file, rather than that file, I used the wrong file to flash used an IMG file that was meant for cwm, which is a completely different task.
So now I am trying to get into fast boot and try to do it with correct SYSTEM.IMG, then to find out I never got it downloaded, the link was deadand now I can not find where to DL it from. I must've not been paying attention and got ahead of myself.
Anyone know where I can a mirror of the file found here. Its the first link in the root section labelled "moto-fastboot flashable /system image".
Am I screwed? Does anybody have a copy of that system.img file laying around. I can not find any mirrors. That is the only way I can see this getting fixed bc I can still go into fastboot mode.
ckeck this ????

Can u get into rsd mode and flash 154_5 sbf

Important files
Thank shabbypenguin for those
If you can get into rsd mode and connected/recognized in rsd lite you should be able to flash one of those sbf files and return to stock.
I read the instructions carefully! It said to put the oven on 350 degrees for 10mins but for some out of this world reason I put it on broil and let it cook for 20mins :/

LOL no kidding Custodian. I did get a laugh out of that.
Thanks CubanLuke & ShabbyPenguin. I did use RSDLite to flash the current sbf you directed me to, I can boot into the phone again. Thanks again.
Now as to how to proceed, I will have to unlock the bootloader again, np, but when I run into that very step where I broiled it, the rooting via speedboot.... would it be okay to root using AIO instead because I can not find the SYSTEM.IMG needed to follow along w/ the video using this method.
Can I just root a different method, then proceed on with CWM recovery, then flash rom from the video?

Thanks KTT. Okay, I'm back on track now. I am unlocked again, rooted as well. but I am not sure about 2 things. This will be my very first android rom flash and just coming from a big whoopsies, I just want to be sure.....
1) Format system: in cwm recovery, which option is that? I don't see "format system" in the main or advanced menu. Maybe its worded differently?
2) Flash ROM: I can only assume its either "Apply Update from SD" or Update from SD". Not sure which one though.

1) Format system is in the "mount" options. Although it's unneeded to flash a ROM. Personally I just wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache and have zero issues. Others may tell you different though.
2) "Install .zip from SD Card" then select whichever .zip you're looking to install.

Okay well I am in some trouble again. successfully flashed an alpha cm7.1, but it didn't have market and the one i installed did not work so decided to flash to cm7.2 via CWM. When it booted I didn't really see anything change, later realized that maybe I was suppose to wipe/format in cwm first(idk).
So I decided to flash 198_7, same one that I used to restore back to stock earlier. But I did not get back to stock. The process was 100%, it told me to manually turn on the device, which was in rsd mode. So I unplugged, pulled batt, reboot. The phone now starts up until the pulsing Moto logo then screen goes black, then it loops.
In the process I lost CWM & unlocked. So trying to flash a ROM via cwm is no longer an option. Any thoughts?

Flashing the 198_7 sbf unroots and relocks, so you're back to square one.

Reboot into stock recovery, when you get the recovery logo thing push both volume up and volume down at the same time to get the recovery options. Then do a factory reset and it should boot for you. After that, root and unlock again. And you didn't have the Market because you forgot to install Gapps...

The reason cm7 didn't have the market is that you needed to flash gapps. Try doing a hard reset. http://www.hard-reset.com/motorola-photon-4g-hard-reset.html That should do it.
try the 154 sbf

i had the same problem i think and was going thru boot loops but some one told me to start into recovery when you try you get that ? android screen from there hold down volume up and down at same time then wipe phone booted up fine after that.
It worked like a charm. Thanks. I'm still very new to android and hate to admit it but will be running into problems like these again. The best way to minimize it for me is, not only follow certain directions correctly to get out of these binds, but to understand them.
- So theres an image of the stock ROM stashed away on the phone regardless? And it can be accessed only via the stock recovery? Because after I succeeded in flashing cm7.1, I did a factory reset once from settings>privacy and that restored me to a fresh CM7.1. The factory reset from settings>privacy and in CWM is the same, but both different from the factory reset via STOCK RECOVERY?
- Also what would be the correct method to go from one custom ROM to another? Would it be this? :
(in CWM)
- Format system
- Wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache/dalvik
- Reboot recovery
- Flash ROM
Or can I just jump to install from zip ?
- Also regarding SD Storage (internal), only holds storage files? So on any fresh ROM there shouldn't be anything in that partition relating to that new ROM yet right? So I can delete things without worry?
You should not have to reboot into recovery, once your wipes are complete, normally you can just flash your ROM of choice in the same recovery session.
Before I flashed anything I would make a backup with CWM so you don't have to keep rooting and unlocking. You can just restore your backup.

After flashing 198 7 sbf, all u need to do is flash derpunlock not go through oem unlocking, then reflash recovery.
Simple generic process for going between roms (assuming already unlocked + cwm recovery flashed; process may be different for some roms, always make sure to read directions, but this is the general concept)
1. Download rom (and gapps if necessary) and put on your sdcard
2. Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup
3. You made a nandroid backup right?
4. Secure your nandroid backup (move it to your pc or something).
5. You know where your nandroid backup is right?
6. Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Install zip from sd (flash), choose the rom.
8. Reboot system.
At this point your rom should be all set. If for some reason you don't like it, simply boot into recovery and restore your nandroid backup. You can even make nandroid backups of various roms if you want to swap between them for whatever reason.
As the thread title states...I was on 7.1 and downloaded/updated it to 7.2 Now the phone doesn't boot up and all I get is the Kernel Panic Upload Mode.
Anyway I can fix this? And if so, is there a way of doing it without completely formatting my phone and losing all my apps?
Oh and if it makes any difference I had to install that Siyah Kernel or whatever it was called to get out of the bootloop issue that I had with CM7.1. I'm thinking that that may be causing the problem....? But then again what do I know
wipe cache only.

How? I've been trying [Power+Volume Up+Home] and it hasn't been doing anything. Can I do it through download mode somehow?
Had this problem when i flashed Lite'ning rom. Had to go into download and flash stock with odin. Took me a few tries to actually get the rom to work. As far as I know, that'd be your only option, seeing as recovery doesn't work for you.
take a deep breath and read, there is a very small chance of bricking your phone just so you know. Flash back original with Odin and start everything again
thanks for the replies...looks like i'm gonna flash the stock firmware back and see what i can do about getting to CM7.2 to work. hopefully flashing stock firmware is enough. I can't imagine how this would completely brick my phone and render it unusable.
As an aside...wtf is the point of this "recovery mode" when the thing doesn't even work half the time?
Anywho...downloading the stock .exe file now from here: http://devsrom4android.blogspot.ca/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmwares-bell-canada.html[/url
Ok so I flashed the stock rom and now I'm in Android system recovery: Should I just reboot system now or do I wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition??

If you flashed stock, you should be fine just rebooting.
Its stuck on the boot screen. I tried just rebooting, then wiping/factory reset, then both wipes...reinstalled stock a few times and nothing worked each time. I'm suck on the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 screen
:-\...when I go into recovery, I get a ton of red messages/errors
I'm gonna try somethig other than stock firmware see if that helps.
edit Ok so I rooted the phone and it got past the first boot screen and now appears to be stuck on the "animated S" boot screen...progress!!

Hi Guys
I am new to playing around with android but not to electronics. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16gb (SCH-i905) with current 4g service.
Here is the problem I am having:
It started yesterday, I was browsing the web and the tablet froze and then rebooted. After the reboot programs randomly freeze and crash, if I reboot anything I have downloaded is gone and anything I deleted is back and I can't install or remove apps. I figured I had something corrupted and a factory wipe would fix it. Unfortunately when I perform a factory wipe from the menus or through Android recovery nothing happens. The tablet boots up like nothing was erased. Still has all my accounts, security pin, apps, and so on.
So after that I figured I would flash the tablet, I found the thread here in the development forum with the stock 3.2 image to load through ODIN. I downloaded everything, followed the instructions. ODIN says the flash was successful but when the tablet reboots it still has all my info and is running 4.0.4. I have tried this multiple times. I have tried loading CWM with ODIN but it will not stick.
Any thoughts? If you need more information I will get it, I am just stuck and can't find anything that helps me with this problem!
Thanks for your help!!!
If you want cwm to load after you install it using odin, then you must immediately boot the tablet into recovery without letting it run normally. During the normal boot process, CWM is deleted and the stock recovery is restored. Therefore once Odin finishes installing CWM, hold the volume up button and once you get to the recovery mode you will be running CWM instead of the stock recovery module.
Regards,
Michael
Yes, I did read that in the multiple thread about installing CWM and have gone into recovery directly after ODIN reboots the tablet, however it is still only the stock recovery app.
Any ideas why the factory reset / data wipe won't work?
So after several more hours working on this problem I think I have come across the root cause. I believe that my internal storage has corrupted and is now only mounting in Read-Only mode. From everything I can find online, without having root access previously, this is a no go for fix it yourself.
In case anybody happens on this post down the road, I have been unable to find a resolution and it would appear I must sent the unit back to Samsung for repair.

factory reset through the stock recovery should be able to get you out of it (RO filesystem).

I guess that blows my theory out of the water. I can't make heads or tails with this. No matter what I do, Menu Factory Reset, Recovery Wipe/Reset, ODIN Flash Stock EG01 firmware, ODIN flash CWM Recovery as soon as this device reboots I am right back where I started....... GAH!!!
Thanks for letting me know I'm probably wrong.

I forgot to say thanks for your help!! I appreciate someone smarter than me lending a hand.
That said, I just tried to flash CWM from DB Galaxy Roms/CM10 folder. Upon reboot the tablet still entered stock recovery, I have tried this several times, but this time I took a video. If you feel so inclined to watch it maybe you can catch me doing something wrong....

I had to do this on mine. http://techne.alaya.net/?p=8829. I rooted and modified the file described in the steps. Weirdly enough it still booted into stock recovery the first time I installed CWM. I installed CWM one more time and the tablet now boots into CWM.
Hello, I need help. I tried to update my phone to a new ROM and now it is only booting in bootloader and says there is no OS. I have downloaded a RUU that matched, renamed it and put it on my microsd and tried to flash it but it reboots in TWRP. I have a backup and when I try to restore it says Restore Complete Failed---E: Cannot restore System -- mounted read only. I really love the M9 and want it back up and running can anyone please help me get it back functioning? It does not have fastboot option and adb server out of date. Pretty much a noob here. I have flashed other Roms before, but this M9 is proving to be a pain. I have been researching thread after thread and still no luck. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks I figured I will look at how to relock the bootloader without fastboot. I honestly didn't think I could install a rom because I figured most needed MM7 and I dont have that installed which is what happened when I tried to install Viper Rom
Got it working again. I had to restore only the boot and system image. After it rebooted I then restored data and it's back to normal.

i woke up today and my phone died of charge. I plugged in the charger and tried to power up my phone. It was stuck in a bootloop. So, I went into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, rebooted, and still didnt work.
I then went to wipe and did the thing where twrp asks to do a factory reset by wiping cache, dalvik cache, and data. Still didnt worl, so i took out the sd card and did it again. Still bootloops. So, i then wiped dalvik cahce, cache, system, and data. Now, my phone is stuck in the white HTC logo with red text. and twrp tells me there is no os installed, are you sure you want to continue?

Hey did you get it to work? Just seeing this post. If you backed up your system and boot images boot into twrp and flash those copies you made before the wipes. See where that gets ya. Hopefully you got it fixed by now.
