[Q] Stuck in constant reboot to recovery - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to install Cognition 1.5.1 zip which CWM4 showed as successful, but am running into a problem of constant reboots to recovery. I wiped data and cache before installing the zip too. If i try to select power off it just reboots back into recovery. pulled battery turned phone on still goes recovery. any suggestions?
Edit: ended up going download mode and flashing base KH3, still could use suggestions on what to do to avoid it happening again.

its nothing major mate once u restored/reflashed to make it work again. it could be corrupted flash that coudlnt let u boot. thanks god u are back on track..

Try reading the sticky.

Ya i figured out how to get it to boot properly, so is the problem with the download of the rom? Cuz it did the boot loop both times i flashed the rom. Would redownloading the file work?

Boor Loop with CWM but not Odin

Hey guys, first off this is not a thread to ask for how to get out of a boot loop, so don't flame me before reading it.
I've been running various Stock roms, KG2/KI3/KJ2 which are all flashed through Odin and work fine, but I can't seem to flash ANY roms at all using CWM, I've tried wiping the cache and wiping user data before flashing but everytime I use CWM to flash my phone gets stuck in a boot loop, tried various roms and they all get stuck in boot loop which I have to use Odin to fix and root so I can get CWM again, but out of the 5 or so roms I've flashed with CWM they all seem to put the phone into a boot loop. Anyone have any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
I know how to fix the boot loop, what I want to know is how the heck do I get roms to run when flashed using CWM. I've used CWM on numerous other android devices and I'm pretty sure I'm flashing it right (clear user data, clear cache, install zip from sdcard). I mean its not rocket science. Would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.
Have you tried flashing it twice in a row, without reboot in-between?
That I haven't tried. I'll give it a try. Cause nothing seems to be working.
Ok, just tried double flashing without rebooting and it still does the boot loop.

[Q] 7510, locking up during boot.

i think what i need is a complete odin install... back to stock for wifi
Been running ICS M4 just fine for a while, I did an app update in market and it crashed. rebooted and it freezes on Kang logo. I have done every wipe I can in CWM and I get no where.
Doing 'fix permissions' or factory wipe, neither one will finish, factory will not finish ad just reboot on its own.
i tired installing a diff ROM or two that i have on it already, same thing, freezes on boot animations.
I cant find a COMPLETE odin install.... open to any help and thanks for your time.

they have all the stock odin flashable firmwares available for download there.
oh and if you get stuck at a boot logo loop after stock rom flash, do a factory restore and clear cache using the stock recovery (it happened to me). you can then start over with the root/cwm/custom rom process if you want.
did that, thanks... after odin finished it reboots. says:
# maunal mode #
---Updating Aplications ---
copying ' XAB ' apk
copying common Apks.
holds there for 10 seconds and reboots right back to that as i typed.
If i boot into recovery, as soon as i click the icon to actually goto recovery it reboots to what I typed above.
I have also reflashed cwm recovery and can get to recovery then flash a rom, but it still freezes during boot animations.... ugh.
I fixed it! I used the overcome guide here...
the prob with samobile file was there was no PIT. once I got that out of the overcome DL It was ok and booted just like the guide said... from there i reflashed CWM recovery.tar. since I could boot in to HC I could transfer a new aokp ICS rom and all is good

[Q] Need help - Can't get past recovery.

Hi guys.
I got a problem.
Got tired of lags, so i decided to wipe (data + dalvik) and reinstall Omega 27.1.
Now i can't boot up the phone - it just starts up CWM (6.0.1.2) when i reboot. Have tried to pull battery and when i insert it recovery just comes up.
What have i missed?
I have tried to install again, with and without wipes but still the same.
Can't restore nandroid either. Getting error on restoring /data, and just comes back to CWM again.
I'm kinda stuck.. ideas?
EDIT:
Just did a nandroid restore, error on restoring /data as always, but i rebooted and got into Android. I had to type in my google account information again, and all apps crashes all the time.
So I rebooted to recovery, and installed 27.1 (did a full wipe again), and now i can't get past recovery again.
Wtf?

If you can get into download mode, flash a stock rom samsung www.sammobile.com with ODIN, then get root permissions and cwm with ]cf-root 6.4

Yes, it seems to be the only thing to do..
But does anyone know what is causing this?
Can't be the boot.img, because restoring the boot (wipes+restores) doesn't work. And installing a new rom also adds a new boot.img.

CWM Bootloop

So I tried flashing nottachtrix 4g and I've ended up in a CWM bootloop, everytime I reboot it just goes to CWM. I tried doing a recovery of my backup but that didn't work. Tried reflashing nottachtrix again, still doesn't work. Any tips?
thanks
Either download notachttix again or a different rom, wipe system, data, cache and try again.
Hope it helps

Tried that, no different, keeps booting into CWM recovery
Not sure if you tried flashing anything else, but if you are doing a restore make sure you are using the same CWM that you made the backup with.
I went through something like that with my OG SGS a couple years back...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yea using the same CWM, still nothing. tried flashing a couple different roms, no dice.
Ok so I can get it to boot by holding volume down when booting and choosing boot android(no bp). But every time I reboot, it will still go to CWM. When i do get it to boot tho, I dont have any network reception, it says the baseband version is unknown

ok try flashing a radio thru recovery
Ok so it seems that booting to android(No BP) makes it so there is no phone signal, so that's not an option... The problem remains then, any ideas on how to get it to boot and not go to recovery...?
Alright so I can boot by doing "fastboot boot boot.img" where boot.img is from the rom I installed. It looks like my bootloader is defaulting to recovery for some reason? How can I make it default to android again?

Bootloop

Hi, i was charging my i9100 via USB. Tried to turn on the screen and the phone reboots.
Now, i am in bootloop. Can't access recovery mode. But can into download mode.
So i flashed different ROMs via ODIN and always bootloop. Tried with the last stock ROM and a branded ROM, and also flashed dorimanx kernel.
Never boots, it only changes the animation on the start, but still in bootloop.
Any ideas?
I can go into recovery mode now, but still cant boot any ROM. Help!

Go to recovery . Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache . And then flash the rom from your sd card.
Good luck :thumbup:

First do multiple cache+dalvik cache clear and reboot to see if it helps else
Do a full wipe(data+cache+dalvik cache) and then proceed to flash a rom
Gud luck mate
Are you two having a competition to see who can repeat the other the most times or something ?
