I have followed installation instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238126 to the letter and after rebooting all I get is the S - the device does not come alive.

Is this Panic Time, or is there some stupid thing I don't know about?

I noticed that dialing a few contacts gives these type of errors. Can you give any solution for this without being reset. If flashing or reset is compulsory then how to backup and reinstall stock rom. Please tell me the steps involved. And one more, where can i get the stock rom?

Try a different nightly from slim. May be a bad build. Have you read the thread for info on this.

Hello.
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and its been working fine for more than a year. Few days ago, i did a factory reset and now when I power on my phone it stays on the Samsung logo. If i go in recovery, it says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah. and i have a lot of options. I did wipe data/factory reset and after that completes it powers on and goes in safe mode, i can do stuff for around 30 seconds and then it restarts and stuck on samsung logo again.
I tried flashing stock firmware but Odin does not detect my phone. i have tried on two different computers, they both have the drivers everything, tried on different ports, tried with different cables.
Please Help.
what rom you're on?

1) 'Please use a descriptive thread title'
2) Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, find it, try as many of the things in that thread as many times as you need to in order to get a successful flash. If you try the stuff in the thread two or three times then come back to this thread & say 'I tried blah blah a few times & still the same', guess what ? Your phone will stay busted. Why ? Because perseverance always fixes these issues unless the phone isn't recoverable. You need to try everything in that thread over and over and over if necessary. There's nothing that isn't in that thread which can be suggested in these situations. Why ? That thread is the 'Bible'.
So...Go...You now have the tools to fix your phone.
i have already seen that thread and tried what it advised but to no avail.

2.wipe cache

Tried but did not work.
Same thing happens, goes into the system, and then restarts after 20-30 seconds and then stuck on samsung logo.
Well,if you can boot,quickly go to phone's settings,scroll down and tap "about phone".Write down android,firmware and kernel versions and post here.
That stuff is irrelevant. OP, you're clearly not doing some things here or not telling us exactly what you did to get the phone in that state (like most people who get into this situation). Service centre.
i said in my FIRST post that after i did a factory reset, when i restarted it got stuck on the samsung logo.
Anyone ?
Please.
Well,if your current rom is messed up and can't use ODIN,you may try flashing a stock based jb rom through recovery.Choose the one you like,follow the instructions and that's it.
Just a suggestion:angel:
Could you please link me to which one i should download. i do not want to mess my phone up even more.
im from uk.

What's the point in telling people what the rules are when you go and break them in the next sentence ? Why not just tell people to go read some rom threads & try some roms ? Do you realise how much more likely it is that a n00b will break their phone at some point in the fairly near future when you spoonfeed them everything, which is exactly what you've been doing for the past few weeks, as opposed to pointing them in the right direction & telling them to learn for themselves ?

I don't get you mate.The man asked me to suggest a rom so I did.Honestly,it was the only stock jb based rom I ever tried as AOSP is my home.As much as I hate stock,I know that rom has little to no problems,so that OP won't come back here anytime soon.Which is good.Never wanted to break any rules,but because his phone was in unusable state,I pointed him to (IMHO) the right direction.Is this a bad HELP?
I know I did some things here and there that made some noobs lifes easier.So this means I should always reply by saying:
Hey,there's search button for that!DIY!Troubleshooting thread is not for these kind of questions.Get outta here!!
That's not how I understand HELP.
Anyway,thanks for your opinion,really respect that.
Just tried a downgrade from the Android O Developer Preview (2), to 7.1.2 official Google images. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly, so I immediately rooted, and flashed Resurrection Remix 7.1.2.
What I did not count on was auto-rotation not working, and receiving no read on my proximity sensors at all. Thinking this was a ROM issue, I posted to the official ROM thread. Luckily, two users immediately responded telling me this was a known issue after downgrading from O, so I want to post it here in case anyone searches for it, hopefully the solution is easier to find.
Solution: Flash Official Google stock image of 7.1.2, check to see if rotation is working (it probably won't if yours wasn't previously). So now perform a Factory Reset (Settings->Backup & Reset->Factory Reset), some people have apparently needed to reset twice for the effect, but then your rotation/proximity should be fixed! Now you can return to doing whatever you wish with your 6P! Hopefully this will help anyone in need
Solution 2: After downgrading to the 7.x stock image, lock your bootloader. (Be sure to backup your internal!) Once you've locked it, boot up the device and unlock the bootloader again.
Solution 2.1: After you've locked the bootloader using Solution 2, boot up the device and perform a factory reset. Once that is done, boot up the device again before unlocking the bootloader again. Then continue on your Android journey!
Huge thanks to everyone sharing solutions and information on this thread!
I Had same issue and I was forced to go back to DP2, but now I'll try. Thanks for sharing solution

If you use WugFresh's root tool, flashing the stock images + unroot will wipe sdcard, however there is a "No wipe mode", but I've never tried it so I couldn't say what it involves/how it works.
The factory data reset(s) will not wipe sdcard, though you probably know that already, just including it in case you don't
Any other questions I'd be happy to answer the best I can

Not sure what a Fabric Reset would do, but factory data reset just wipes Data, Dalvik and Cache, not the sdcard.
I guess you're f**** with me though since I can't imagine someone with you're knowledge and "thanks" doesn't know what a factory data reset is lol.
Anyway, Fabric Reset needs to be an option
I found another solution on the 5X forums. After downgrading to N you need to lock and then unlock your bootloader again (wipes internal storage obviously). Worked for me. Clean install by itself didn't do anything to help.

For real man? First thing I did for you was answer that question, "The factory data reset(s) will not wipe sdcard" look back in the thread.
I certainly don't enjoy being pathetic, and wouldn't say I was. You typed "Fabric Reset" so I thought you were messing around since I answered you earlier.. I appologize for the confusion man, the factory reset (going through Settings-Backup & Reset-Factory Data Reset) wipes the Data, Dalvik, and Cache, your internal will be completely preserved during a factory reset. However, your apps and app data will be wiped sorry again if I came off ignorant I just misunderstood you :good:

Definitely weird, did you try the factory reset before that with no success? I was thinking that locking/unlocking the bootloader probably does something similar to a factory reset since it wipes the device.

Worked for me. Thx.
Flashed latest factory image.
Relocked the BL
Booted up and performed a factory reset
Booted up again than back to the BL
Unlocked the BL
Added files
Flashed TWRP than flashed Rom of choice.
All good. Thx again!

I did answer the damn question, it was the first thing i did, but you decided to ignore it for some reason, and continue to ask the same question I had just answered, but with a typo, and a half sentence.
So my thanks observation was supposed to be a complement, I was trying to not insult your intelligence by either, answering a question I already answered, or answer a question you already knew. I was being sensitive.
Obviously us writing to each other completely lacks any form of human expression and tone, but try to actually read and understand before discrediting and insulting someone, especially while they're trying to help you.
