Hi guys,
I was running the latest version of VillainROM and after trying to flash stock kernel and rebooting, I am getting a BOOT LOOP at the VillainROM startup screen. I tried connecting to Odin in download mode but ODIN is not recognizing the phone.
Please help out. I forgot to take backups using CWM before installing the kernel and now I am not able to connect to the PC either. Is there any way of flashing back the old kernel/ROM using external memory card? Any suggestions? I would be really grateful! Thanks.

Please help! i tried searching for this, but can't seem to find a solution...
I currently have FROYO.UVJK2 with Kernel version of 2.6.32.9
in trying to load the Nero v5, i went to ROM manager and got the latest ClockworkMod Recovery to 2.5.1.2.
After this update, i push the reboot into Recovery. however, instead of going in to the ClockworkMod Recovery menu after reboot, it keeps just hanging on the Vibrant screen.
I tried to do the ClockworkMod manually with no success either, it just hangs on vibrant screen. -,-;
help!
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Also: i tried older clockworkmod recovery files with no success either. When every i try to manually get into the Recovery, the "vibrant" either just hangs or just keeps restarting. I have to do a battery pull to be able to get past the hanging vibrant stage.
sorry guys, i posted in the wrong forum. Could the mod move this to general?
again. my bad.
Odin back to stock and try again.

would Odin be the only solution?
After Odin, do i use a custom ROM to restart or is it just plug, load and i am good to go..? seems like the instructions i found so far just guide you to upload the Odin into your phone but doesn't say what to do next. I guess what i am wondering is, after Odin, does the phone revert back to stock ROM?

I just installed pershoots kernal on my Tab 10.1 I/O with 3.1 touchwiz and as the device boots it gets past the "galaxy tab 10.1" screen then all random lines of color across the screen. The only thing I can do now is turn it off and watch the battery meter. Tried powering on again; same result. Did I brick it? Using the Clockworkmod from the Market is the only way I can boot into recovery to install .zip files. I hope someone out there has some good news for me? Yes, I'm a dumba**.

The same thing happend to me the 1st time, if i recall his kernel doesnt work on the stock rom, i booted back to cwm and flashed my backup, thats when i found tasks rom flashed that then used the custom kernel, if you havent then your system needs to berooted, check the link below it tells you how to get into bootloader mode by holding down power and volume buttons

Thank you for your help. I cannot boot into CWM to install a different kernel - don't have a recovery box icon; only usb. Can I flash a kernel using Odin?
That im not sure of ive only used odin once at was so i could root my tab, but if you send pershoot a message im sure he could help you, wish i could be of more help, but i myself am still pretty new to this ;-)
Yes you can but it has to be a different file

Reflash recovery using ODIN as if you were rooting your device for the first time and then flash Pershoot's other kernel. You flashed the wrong one (there are two).
The lines you saw are mentioned many times in his thread. Also, read the threads and find your answers there, rather than opening a question thread in the development section.
nobnut's right should be in general section
before your thread gets moved to there here's what you need
Recovery install thro odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150732

[GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If you have recovery then wipe everything and reboot then pull the battery for 20min. and try to flash an originall firmware.Otherwise go to the sticky threads and read the posts on as advised on how to unbrick.If you have recovery then you should beable to get it working again yourself.Also see if you can flash Lightning ROM to recover it.Works for a lot of people.
If you can access download mode then you only need to flash to unbrick it
Hey guys! how are ya?
I'm really deep in some serious problem and hope u guys can help me with...
I have a Galaxy S2 int. (I9100) running the stable version of CM 10.1, few days back after charging I took off the power cable and the phone got stuck at boot... after trying to enter recovery mode, I realised that he wasn't there anymore... So, I tried to flash CWM Recovery (6.0.2.9) via Odin and I keep getting FAIL on flash...
The problem is... I really have some files on this phone that I can't loose... Do you guys have any clues or ideas that could help me?
Really desperate here! Halp!
[Oh, before anyone say it... I already searched this forum and Cyanogen's none of the solutions I saw worked]

Yikes. As far as getting your data back on a non-stock rom...that eliminates possibility of flashing with Odin...
After prowling around a little bit I saw this guide... it claims that some GSII boot problems are due to kernels. Try flashing a stock (or older CM) kernel. http://chaladi.me/2012/11/30/solved...otingstuck-galaxy-s2variants-kernel-problems/
Other than that, this one "might" wipe data but try re-flashing CM thru Odin? If not then try flashing back to stock ROM through Odin, make sure not to check wipe data, but by doing that you'll definitely get bootloop. Hopefully you get enough time window to use adb.
Good luck,

Any ideias?
'Yikes. As far as getting your data back on a non-stock rom...that eliminates possibility of flashing with Odin'.
No, it does not.
OP - The only way you're fixing this is flashing a stock rom with Odin. If this is successful, you wont lose any data. If you're having problems with the flash, find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General & try as much of the stuff in the thread as many times as you need to in order to get a successful flash. Do not try two or three things from the thread, come back here & say 'It won't work blah blah blah blah'; that thread is the Bible in these situations, there's nothing which isn't in the thread that can be suggested in these situations. So, you now have the tools to fix your phone.
Now, having said that, sometimes in these situations only a factory reset after the flash will fix it.
You're just going to have to try it & see what happens/hope the flash fixes it.

You mean those files you want to recover are all in the internal SD(like photos,music,videos etc,)?If so,just flash a stock rom as others suggested,this won't wipe the internal SD.Unless,in an extreme case,you'll have to rePIT.
