Hello XDAérs,
I unfortunately bricked my phone. I started with downloading ODIN and CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4. I was able to get into the download mode and open the .tar. This was succesfull, I got to see my homescreen after the reboot. After that I made a backup using CWM.
And this is where I made the mistake. I opened CWM and opened cm_galaxys2_full-65 by using Flash an update. The device booted and started to install this and afterwards got stuck at the yellow warning sign!
I was hoping to fix this by going to the download mode and using ODIN again but this didn't help.
How can I fix this?
#UPDATE: Can i fix this anyway in the ClockworkMod Recovery (Sound up + Home + Power ) ?

restore your backup
hold up instead of down when you start your phone..
down=download mode
up=recovery...
when restore is not helping try restore wipe... all data will be lost..
I accidently pressed backup instead of restore... -.-. But I chose the oldest backup afterwards. This didn't work and also a restore swipe didn't help.
Before you gave me this advice I had tried to install the .tar file threw ODIN again, might this have made the back-up and restore impossible?

No it doesn`t matter.
If you want to install CM7 go back to recovery Volume up + Power
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Format System in mounts and storage
Flash the rom and google apps
Done
Hey,
I followed your instructions but when installing the .zip file the installation gets aborted.
Should I try apply /sdcard/update.zip?
thanks in advance

NO, turn the phone off and go back to recovery and try again.
If that doesn`t work turn the phone off, go into download mode (volume down and power) than yes (power up) and flash a stock rom for your country with Odin.

Or if you have a working backup as i read in yout thread restore the backup
use recovery wipe everything data, cache and dalvik and see what happens...if that does not work if you can get into download mode flash litening rom with odin and you should be fine..
once you got litening rom on then check what rom you want to put or just go back to stock from the region you from
Hey, I installed the stock rom and did it all over again, and now it works! Thanks for your help

Hi,
so I tried to install a new theme and during the install the phone froze. I tried to access the recovery again, but I can't, the phone stucks at galaxy s3 screen. However I can access download mode.
My question is, what do I have to do to keep my SD Card content (like pictures)? Which firmware should I flash? I was on Wanam Lite Rom.
Thanks for Help

Flashing a theme will not mess your recovery partition so it cannot happen that you have lost recovery..so try again..
Once you are able to boot into recovery flash the ROM which you were using without a wipe first...you will not loose anything..if you face problems then wipe data/factory reset in CWM ..even then you will not loose the data on your internal SD..

I know that it seems strange but I'm not able to access it. I tried to install

I hawe problem with my P760, I'we flashed v20c version, rooted it, then stuck, now I cant flash any firmware any more, and i cant do hardreset, when I try to do hard reset with volume down + home + power i got an cwm menu. I try to install rom from cwm but with this no luck too. Maybe someone can suggest me something else?
Just use KDZ online method if nothing works. It will unbrick your phone for sure.

This is good news that you can go in CWM mode. Fine.
1) Before you started flashing I am sure you took nandroid (cwm) backup in CWM as a habit. Right? Just wipe data and cache partition, wipe dalvik cache and restore the backup. You should be back on your previous rom.
2) If this does not work. As you were stuck after V20C, download any working V20C nandroid (cwm) backup from this post and restore it.
3) If this also does not work, try recovering firmware with PC Suite or
4) flash fresh matching rom with offline fix method.

Thanks a lot, but I sill have my warranty, and yesterday I left my phone in local lg support office, and they took about 30 minutes I my phone was alive again
Hello guys,
I've followed the following tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLQ51Pg77q4. step by step and all was going well. I was setting up superuser and titanium backup until one of them gave me a choice between two options and then the phone rebooted with the yellow exclamation mark but would just be stuck there. I've tried flashing the original firmware with odin but to no avail. What to do?

After flashing original firmware Go to recovery and do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. Reboot
Good luck

Try flashing apolo kernel: https://www.wuala.com/pedestre/Kern...N (just CWM & light version)?key=IZz8nJ7ajpFQ through odin Pedestre's work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291756 and remember to press the thnaks button if we helped you :cyclops:
Once you have flashed apolo try and get back into recovery - vol up, home and power - then do data wipe, cache wipe, advanced/dalvik wipe - then go to mounts and format cache and data - DO NOT format your sd card unless you like losing all your saved files lol

I have a serious problem in my rooted S3. After flashing a problematic rom, i was forced to reset nandroid backup(i had already flashed the rom which i take the backup) Restore was successful, but suddenly I had issues with network("not registered on network") After flashing the latest modems from this video everything was fixed.
However when i flash a new rom from recovery, the screen always freezes on samsung logo. The only solution is to reset each time the latest that nandroid I had. In addition today, i have not acess in recovery(philz). What you suggest me to do? Sorry for my enlgish and thanks in advance for the people who answer.

Things are not so simple. I cannot have access in custom recovery menu. As a result it is impossible to flash a new rom,modem,kernel or restore a nandroid backup...

have you tried reinstalling the newest CWM of TWRP threw downloader mode and then trying to boot into it.
i would try that before i restore to stock, i prefer TWRP but it is more of a personal choice.

If you want to return your device to stock just grab the correct carrier OTA file for your X and flash it via Odin and you will be 100% completely stock. No root stock recovery and stock Rom

Be careful because PhilZ as a option to do a normal wipe factory reset but also a option to install a new rom which formats all the necessary files to do that including your system (rom). This can leave you without a rom to boot into if you don't know how to use it propably,I would just recommend just flashing back to stock with Odin (and don't forget to factory reset after using Odin.

If you have tried flashing stock (and you have flashed everything correctly and wiped correctly) and you are still stuck in bootloop the only option I can see is to try the rescue firmware in the stickies forum.
Be very careful and follow instructions carefuly as it containes a pit file,if this failes then I would suggest service repair.

Tried to wipe again and booted up. It just took longer than normal (5mins) and then it booted up as normally. Thank you very much !
Now, if I want to flash Cyanogenmod again (Not Installer !), I just have to root and then flash Cyanogen Mod, right ?

Yep I agree don't use installer seen alot of problems with it... If you just want to install Cyanogen Mod (or any custom rom) with custom recovery then you do not need to root (only root if you want to backup or access anything from system), all custom roms come with root included. Just use a custom recovery wipe then flash your rom (factory reset if it bootloops) done.
