HEY HO
This topic is about YOUR ways to full wipe/reset/restore a Samsung galaxy S2 !!!
! Not the halfwipes with caches factory reset and flashing rom. !
Looking for the REAL restoring.
This has to include the whole Phonesoftware! How to install your phone brandnew if anything went wrong. How to install even every phone driver ... EVERYTHING ^^
Lets see what you have got in your Pocket
? Provide one yourself.
use an usb jig and flash a stock rom
Boot |CWM recovery mounts and storage format cache system dalvik data and sd card
Phone empty flash stock rom through Odin .reset custom rom counter with USB jig if needed .
Real restore and brand new comment would make the assumption that the user had saved the original firmware or at least had access to a copy . In which case replace original firmware by flashing via Odin instead of stock rom .
Fairly simple tasks .

Did you just steal one?

xD no ... my wifi driver just doesnt work anymore and I flashed the stock rom (from samfirmware.com) about 3-4 times now but it doesnt "repair" the driver or anything ^^
I have been helping the OP try to Fix his wifi problem and the first thing we suggested is to flash back to the factory state.
Even after doing a full wipe there are files missing on his system preventing the WIF from working. in particular the following files are missing:
/data/.cid.info
/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt
Who knows what other files are missing.
So my question is how come after the OP did the following using clockworkmod
wipe system
wipe data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik-cache
These are STILL missing files after restoring the stock ROM. Are these files not part of the system ROM? or are the generated automatically by some start-up script on first run. I suspect that some first run start-up script is not being run on the OP S2 which would normally generate the missing files.
So the question is how to do a complete factory reset of the S2 in cases were some of the original files have got corrupted or deleted.
(for the background on this problem read thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1285249 )
Come on guys we can help the OP rebuild his S2.
So the question is how to do a complete factory reset of the S2 in cases were some of the original files have got corrupted or deleted.
If the factory files are corrupt on the device you will need new firmware .
Factory = the last firmware to be flashed .Restore copy is whats flashe d on wipe and factory reset .Factory reset returns to last flashed firmware NOT original firmware that came with the phone out of the box .
If you follow my post above then you end up with an empty phone with a clean sd card .
Flashing either original firmware or Stock Samsung firmware via Odin as the next step .
Simple as recovery /format /Odin /flash.

O.O does flashing a new rom break some part of the phone like the wifi in this case ?
And I thought bricking the phone is the least I should care about =.="

That's because a stock rom might not come with a stock kernel.
Your problem sounds like a kernel problem, not necessarily a ROM problem. My suggestion is to wipe /system, /data, /cache, and then install a fresh CM7 nightly. These come with ROM AND Kernel. If your wifi works in CM7 then you know for sure your phone isn't damaged. If wifi still doesn't work, you may have to return your phone.

hmm I flashed with cf root kernel ... it should be the stock kernel or am I wrong ?!?
For the record the offending two lines in his logcat are:
E/WifiHW (2927): return of insmod (args:firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcm4330_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt) : ret = -1, Invalid argument
E/WifiService(2927): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.
Does any body know if these two errors are caused by a hardware or software problem?

I followed the guide in the '[READ THIS]' thread and flashed a stock rom (i already tried about 10 different roms), but i still get a boot loop.
As i can enter the recovery and download mode without a problem and there never seems to be an error message after flashing i don't think that there is something wrong with the hardware.
Does anyone have an idea what i could do?
Also i somewhere read that you can fix pretty much any problem by using a riffbox.
Does any of you guys have any experience with that thing/ know if that could probably fix my problem?

Not necessarily.
Similar thing happened to me with KI8.
Was all good on KG1.
Flashed intratechs KI8 all good.
Flashed cfroot for KI8 had to factory reset to get root to work.
All was good at this point.
Flashed siyah 1.8 kernel all good.
CWM backuped.
CWM flashed % battery mod and stuck on Samsung logo at boot.
CWM restore still stuck at Samsung logo at boot.
Tried lots of things to fix but no go.
CWM restore of KG1 and all good again.
Still trying to work out what went wrong and will post the fix when/if I find out.

I have this problem too. For some reason, the only rom I can flash is Cognition 1.6 . The rest seem to just get stuck at the Galaxy S2 logo
After wiping Data/Factory Reset and flashing CM9 successfully on my GSII I can't get any ROM to boot successfully! The other ROM boots but everything Force Closes! I have tried wiping Cache!
One more bug, After doing a factory reset via CWM and flashing a ROM except CM9 it goes into a BootLoop! Can't fix it ! Help would be greatly appreciated.

wel u have a soft brick ma8 dont panic just dwnl a odin flashable stock GB rom and install the same
after that search the forum under samsung gs2 how 2 root ur phone with stock gb fallow the instructions and root ur phone
then select the ics rom like lightening rom and flash thru odin
every thing will be fine
Reading the post, seems like OP did flash a stock file (although ICS, not GB).
2 dumb questions just to confirm. You have the i9100? not the i9100G? Also have you waited a certain amount of time after you flashed those roms? It can take up to a couple minutes for it to first boot.
If above are fine, (you have i9100, and you waited a long time and it was still stuck on i9100 screen)

Factory reset is not required after flashing a rom .
You load rom via Odin it finishes install and then reboots itself .
You load rom via CWM and it goes to reboot screen yes and phone reboots .
As said a stock gb rom flashed via Odin preferably after a format of system data and cache should be your first step .

i did that.

Looks like you have siyah rc6. Make sure it's not from the 21st, iirc.
Don't factory reset just to be safe.. Restore your nandroid if possible and change to a later version.
Hope all goes well

yup i had siyah 3.1rc6 on my phone.
i tried to restore my nandroid backup but there is no effect on my problem.
how to know weather emmc is fine or currupted?
Try to mount it in CWM and connect it in linux computer and run fsck to check the eMMC. Windows chkdsk is no good.
And please try to remember, did you do this step: flash bad siyah rc6 then wipe/factory reset and get stuck?
if not, then the problem is different from those who flash bad rc6 (which is removed now and siyah is safe)
any thing is not working.
in every thread its written that if my phone goes in download mode and recovery mode then its soft bricked but then how can i unbrick my phone?
or is there any hardware problem?
i can mount and unmount every thing in recovery mode
i can format every thing but only user data cannot be formated,when ever i format/data or factory reset the phone hangs.
is there any other way of hard resetting i9100.?other than cwm recovery?
Have you tried flashing with the .PIT? I doubt it'll work, since other people also tried it, but it's worth a shot.

First On 2.3.6 KL1 i presume. Rooted my phone using CF ROOT

Then Installed F1 Galaxy Nexus ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601518
Then tried to dual boot (Greedy me!)
The other ROM i thought of was Resurrection ROM..
Then i installed it. Using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24233085&postcount=2
So the next time i installed Siyah 3.2b5 My phone didn't boot after The initial S2 logo.
So I then flashed a new ROM KL8 from Odin
Its working fine.
But am not able to install any other ROM.
Any idea what might be the issue?
Thanks in Advance

Hi..
I did what you told me to. Still get the same boot logo
Guess my phone is done for R.I.P
Don't think so phone is rip, download the file again, or try some other ROM
If I were you I do this
formatting system, cache, data and after that flash stock GB using Odin.

What intrigues me is that, If i use KL8 alone (which is flashed via odin) Am able to use the mobile. use it well actually
But if i try to use any other ROM its stuck in the Boot logo
I tried LPQ from Intratech. Even that didnt work.
I thought this could be an issue with the kernel
(But i realised i was able to flash CF Root's kernel and move back to stock kernel so there would be no issue with regards to Kernel.)
Incorrect or Incomplete download wont be an issue i guess as I tried two to three ROMS.
Btw. I used this link
http://www.technetinfo.in/mobile/mobile-software/i9100xxkp8-android-403.html
I followed all the Instructions (Guess may be cause of the PIT file. I'm not sure cause ive seen in posts that we should not lay hands on PIT files)
So someone please help me out.
Will be ever so grateful

By formating system cache data you mean wipe options in CWM right. That i have done lotsa times. Can kernel failure cause these issues, as once i got Kernel panic mode error??
If you follow a link from another forum why not ask them its their instructions after all .
XDA says total wipe of the phone and start again.
and do not touch a PIT file ever .

I think the problem was that you tried to dual boot with a 4.0.3 and a 4.0.4 ported ROM.As far as Im aware 4.0.3 is the supported ROM for dual boot with Siyah kernel.I personally wouldnt trust 4.0.4 dual boot yet.Do as posted above and you should be O.k.

Hey Guys
I came from Stock Rom, rooted my device and flash recovery. And when i come to install any custom rom my device get into a boot loop.
Fortunately I got a back up and every time a try a different custom rom and i can go back to stock.
Well i have tried with the following roms
CM10
AOKP
Slim Roms
Paranoid
Everytime i have tried any of these roms i do carefully everty step. Just exactly like the tutorial says. I've been done this before, installing custom rom in other device, like nexus s, gs3, gs2. Im familiar with those stuffs.
And i don´t think it has to do with some corrupted file when i download the base.
I have tried to reflash recovery and nothing.
Tried to change kernel, i changed to siyah and nothing. After i install custom rom , the device just show the logo of the rom and ask select language and bam!, there is the boop loop
I don´t know what else to do.
I have read something about clear nand with odin , but i dont see those options.
If anyone knows what to do, please let me know.
Thnks

That suggests a problem that is one of the following .
EXT SD card faulty
Custom rom download faulty
CWM recovery faulty.
user not following instructions .
Try flashing a Samsung Based custom rom .

What do you mean boot loop is it actually restarting after boot and restating again ??
Yes. Exactly that's what i mean. It restart over and over again.
External sd card > i dont have one
Recovery > i tried with cwm and philz
Downloaded rom > i have tried download from the xda developer site and tried with different files, different roms
Im pretty sure i follow the instructions just the way it is

With this I understand that it will alow me to flash a custom rom after that, is that right?
Another question, how can i go back like all factory settings, i mean clear everything. I format internal sd, factory reset, do the wipes, fix permissions and once again try to install a custom rom but phone doesn't boot after show logo. Actually i install the same rom in another i9300 and everything's go fine, so the file is ok.

Samsung-based ROM is a custom ROM based on the stock one.
