Hello, i flashed to stock kernel w/root using Entropy's method and was still getting the problems i was having, so went into 3e recovery to do a wipe. after scrolling down to the "wipe" option, i hit the menu button (to select). Now my screen is stuck on a picture of an exclamation point inside a white triangle with the little android guy standing underneath. I think i have a problem and am freaking out. Any help, please?
Press the power button. It turns on and off the text on the recovery image.
Sent from my Galaxy S2 i777 CM7 Nightlys
oh thanks. I just pulled the battery, re-entered recovery and hit the right button to wipe this time. everything worked out.
I attempted to root/flash my device and got far enough to realize I was doing something wrong. I am attempting to return the device to 'day one' that I recevied it and start over. Problem is when I press UP/DOWN+Power it boots into 3e recovery. I can use the vol up/down just fine. No matter how hard, quick, or long I press the power button nothing happens. I've pulled the battery. Any other ideas? A little concerned. This is a work phone and it's just over a week old.
The AT&T GSII uses different buttons for recovery. The Home button selects and the Back button goes back one menu. The power button is virtually useless for us.

I'll agree with you on the power button being useless, but the only button that does anything on my phone is the menu one. If I press it, it changes to a black screen with the green android with an yellow exclamation point in a triangle above him. No other soft or hard buttons (other than the up/down volume) do a damn thing.

The good news is I was able to reinstall CWR. Now what do I need to do to put this thing back to the day I bought it? WHere is the original firmware available to download?

I'm attempting to follow this instructional and am failing. I'd post in the actual thread, but I do not have 10 posts and refus to post fluff to get them. Here's my problem. Device is booting up fine,
Boot screen says Samsung Galaxy Sii GT-I9100. I have the I777. It also has a yellow exclamation point on it.
Using Odin3 1.85 I attempted to load the PDA.tar through PDA and the Modem.tar through phone. I'm using the non rooted version since as far as I know, I was never successful in rooting the phone. Is there a way to see?
My 'about' part of my phone looks great. The modem and Kernel all look like they are supposed to. So what am I missing?

Ok. Got it all worked out. I tried the Heimdall method and it worked like a champ. Now to start this over using your guys instructions instead of the ones elsewhere.

Long story short.
My phone rebooted when i plugged in my wallcharger (dunno if it has anything with that though), and shows the samsung bootlogo. But after that the screen goes black and nothing happends. Turns itself off again..
I was on MIUI 1.11.4 and KI4 Modem at the time. with latest CWM.
Couldnt get in recoverymode. downloadmode on the other hand is no problem.
So i then tried then to flash different stock roms with odin. still no go. Black screen..
So, anyone?
edit:
I've now got CWR working again. Tried to mount sdcard to pc but no go on this either. Will try to flash villain 1.1.. And if that doesn't work the next step will me repartitioning? :s booo
I have the exact same thing happen to me today!
The phone stops at the big flashing "S" boot screen. I waited a long time and it doesn't get anywhere. however, I then noticed, by tapping the the power button to put the phone to sleep, and then tapping the home button will bring me to the screen lock.
I can unlock the screen. But the phone home screen is black and the all shortcut keys including the four original shortcut keys at the bottom of the screen aren't there!! The only thing I can do are:
1. the dropdown from the notification bar. Everything from the dropdown work.
2. double tapping the home button will bring up the Voice Command
3. long press the home button will bring up task manager, and everything in that particular task manager page is functional.
4. volume keys are functional
5. power button is functional
That's all I can do to the phone.
Both the menu button and the return button are not working.
Can someone please help! Please advise what shall I do.
Thanks.
Remove the sd card, that should fix it.
If you can get to recovery might be a good idea to wipe everything and re-install from scratch.Wipe cache partion,dalvik cache,battery stats,format data,format system,factory reset and then reboot.Phone wont pass S2 logo so give it 2min,pull the battey,put it back in and boot to download and re-install your ROM (firmware first if you want aswell) then apps if you have a back up via titanium.

tried it. doesn't work.
My last resort would be to wipe everything but I wish I don't have to go to that.

Read from another thread, someone is having identical problem: stuck at the S2 logo boot screen.
He tried flashing several ROMs but without any luck: still stuck at S2 logo boot screen. No solution yet.
My condition might be slightly better as I manage to get to the home screen, only I can't launch any program since the screen is blank, and the MENU button doesn't bring up any menu as before.
Any other ideas? Please?
Thanks again.

Hey!
I got my problems sorted out after 4 hours of trying (and failing). Im not sure how to fix yours though but this is how i did it..
Eventually got the "Mount usb to pc"-function working in CWR (No luck with this function in win7, but worked as a charm 1. try in ubuntu). Transfered an old NANbackup i had and flashed that. No problems what so ever! Really odd since I tried to flash the exact same ROM from odin with no luck..Hope this may help you or others. good luck!
I've really search everywhere for an answer and I hope somebody here can help me.
I had resurrection remix 2.5.1 on my phone and tried to update to 2.5.3. It installed but then when it rebooted, it got stuck on a boot loop.
My home button on my phone is not working so i used android sdk to reboot into recovery and restored my phone to a previous backup, I then downloaded 2.5.3 from my computer to phone and tried to reinstall and wipe cache etc, which worked, the rom installed, i rebooted and it worked.
Because I had just done a titanium back up before i tried to install 2.5.3 and i went back to a previous back up, i wanted to wipe the phone (because i had crap on it) and then reinstall some apps. When I did a wipe i did it through the phone, and when I booted back on, this is where the problem started.
My phone now turns on with the Galaxy S2 logo and then theres no boot animation, just a black screen which you can just about see that it is flashing. I tried to use android sdk to reboot into recovery but it wouldnt work. I didn't want the hassle so I brought a Jig, which doesn't do anything at all,l i've tried with the battery in and out memory card in and out and pressing buttoms. I thought it might have been entering download mode without the screen so I plugged it in and it isn't detected by odin BUT I have notice that sometimes the phone looks like its about to charge but when the battery icon comes up, the circle inside it does not move and then it disappears.
So to summarise, stuck on SG2 Boot logo, just notice blinking screen. My menu button is broken and jig doesn't work. Not detected by odin and wont boot through android sdk...
Sorry for the essay but I hope someone out there can help me!!!
No download mode, jig doesn't work, nothing with ADB = service centre. No other options.

One question though, will they be able to tell I've rooted it when I sent it to samsung and invalidate my warranty?
Hi mate, firstly can you confirm successfully flashed RR 2.5.3..?? RR came with its own Boot Logo and not SG2 Boot Logo.
USB Jig only works on older Bootloader...e.g Gingerbread 2.3.4.
VolumeDown + HomeButton + PowerButton still working for you..??

Well it says samsung galaxy s2 before then going onto a boot animation which was a stock android animation of the word android which I did think was odd
But now it just says samsung galaxy s2 without any boot animation.
And my menu button doesn't work... I guess i'll have to buy another one if its my last hope...

VolumeDown + HomeButton + PowerButton = Download Mode
No need Menu Button and getting Samsung Galaxy S2 before going onto Boot Animation is definitely very odd...

That's good news.
Hello guys, Can you help me ? did something wrong... flashed stock rom and it keeps rebooting can't get into recovery to reset phone
Try holding the home, power, volume and volume down at the same time. It works like a rest i resorted to it myself not ling back. Once it starts up hold the usual home, power and volume up button to enter recovery. If you have a rom on sd card you can flash as usual. This is my first post on this forum by the way so if i was of any help to you couls you send some thanks my way please
---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------
Sorry was so eager completley forgot about the stock rom part, the worst case scenario is using odin to flash stock firmware and recovery.
Noob here.
Looks like a my kid's phone had a failed update.
Stuck with "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." message when you plug phone into PC.
Smart Switch doesn't recognize the phone to even start the recovery.
Already tried reloading USB drivers. No change.
Kies, Windows, etc. cannot see device.
Nothing else works (multi button combos, reboots.). Phone won't turn on.
Is there another way to access phone USB to re-flash?
When I had that message, you could still boot into download mode my pressing VolumeDown + Home + Power. Then windows should be able to get contact with the phone. Flash it with Odin with a suitable stock ROM.
---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------
You can find the stock versions here btw, sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925F/
Change the modelnumber in the link to the same as the phone.
Like I said, all button combos don't work. Can't get into download mode. Can't connect to Smart Switch.

That sounds odd that no combos would work. If you haven't voided the warranty, you should just be able return it when something like that happens. Any chance?
It has been a while since I've done anything with my tf201, and I remember that there was some funky stuff going on with bootloaders. Like if you flashed the wrong file on the wrong bootloader you bricked your device forever. How can I tell which bootloader I have?
Also, does anyone actually have a usable ROM on their tablet? Mine is laggy as hell. I have to click and wait like 4 minutes for something to go. Like Netflix for example, takes like 10 minutes to open the app and click around for a bit. But once it finally starts a show, the video stream is smooth. Really strange to me.
Thanks for your help!
Hold the VOL button DOWN while powering up the tablet, continue to hold both buttons until you get the fastboot screen, bootloader version will be at the top line number 2.

I don't get fastboot when holding VOL down, I only get a screen with 4 options. And if I try to select the fastboot icon nothing happens
