Hello,
I tried flashing CyanogenMod 7.1 onto my SGS2.
Cyanogenmod needs two times flashing in order for it to flash succesfull.
I only did once... and rebooted...
Now.. my SGS2 is practically dead...
It won't go past the Samsung Galaxy SII Logo which you get at startup.
Is there ANY way to fix this?
I've tried flashing my old XWDD_Insecure and i've also tried flashing Official Samsung kernel but i can't get my phone to boot properly. (I'm noob, i probably don't even have to do this, i just don't know)
Does anyone know ANY fix for this? (just to get it to boot normal again?)

you know oink i really like you, your so fast when it comes to answering our queries here. keep it up!
if bricked use jig!
When your phone boots up it's not hard bricked.. Flashing official kernel won't help either because cm7 kernel and sammy's kernel is different.. Why don't you just flash a fresh firmware or restore your backup if you have one or just install cm7 again..

I've spent the last 2 days trying to fix my mistake. I have the GS2 ATT version, and I didn't realise there was a difference between that and the GTI9100 S2.
I wanted to give some tips I learned on how to recover your phone if you make this mistake.
First, here are some posts you'll want to look at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 - Stock firwmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823 - Clockworkmod for the ATT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286192 - Cyanogenmod for our phones.
Using Odin and the stock firmware, you can recover your phone to a 95% working state. Once I got my stock firmware on there, I found that while making calls my phone made no sound, and the mic didn't work. The mic did work when I wasn't making calls though.
I reflashed the modem.bin file found on the stock firmware, not sure if its required but that is what I did first. Then, I unpacked the rooted stock firmware, and flashed JUST THE zImage file. After doing this, I rebooted, and my calls were working again.
After that, I installed the correct version of Clockworkmod, and then CM7 nightly. Now everything seems to be running great on my phone.
Hope this helps someone out there,

Good job thanx man.

Could you please explain the flashing of the CM Nightlies process to me? I can flash the signed base build but can't flash any of the added on nightlies...

In other words I can't flash the nightly builds like the latest 77 or any others for that matter.

Those are NOT for our version of the GS2, International only. Our version is here in the development forum.

Yes, it will return a status error 7 which means it's unmatched. Ask me how I know. I flashed international roms last night and used this fix to get me good again.
I flashed a KE7 I9100 build to my I777 and saw no ill effects other than incorrect capacitive button mapping. Which build did you flash? Did you make sure to wipe data factory reset afterwards.
So you are saying that you wre able to flash Euro ROMS and your phone booted just fine? Mine didnt boot at all. Did you flash the KERNEL for ATT on top of it ?

The simple thing would be to change out the sec_touchkey.kl with rootexplorer and take the sec_touchkey from system/usr/keylayout should fix the i9100 rom to work with the i777. Seeing as how this worked for the Captivate *i897* for jvr, jvs, and jvt darkyrom releases and I would assume that it would work.

Personally I would think that you had a bad flash? Did you flash through Odin or CWM? From what I have been reading the gb bootloaders between the i777 and i9100 are different and I can see if you used a custom i9100 rom flashing via cwm could cause that. Since I am not too sure on the sgs2 if the differences between the euro models versus the carrier locked, the Kernel will not fix the button mapping, I learned this with the captivate when I switched over to using DarkyRom jvr and jvs builds since they were the most stable of GB for the i897 captivate. Plus if you are going to run a i9100 rom, I am sure the modem will not work with the att kernel. Especially if the situation with the cappy is any indication that att kernel needs att modem and i9000 kernel needs i9000 modem. I will be able to know more as soon as I get my i777 tomorrow.
HTH,

wipe data/factory reset
tried that three times... didnt help..
Did the same thing and made it back to ATT version and running CM7 for now. Still have an I9100 boot screen with a yellow logo. How do I get rid of that?
SO why do you say this flashes you back to 95%? Is there no 100% return to stock fix?

Some people need to wipe or also flash the modem for 100%.
Also, people who managed to flash a bootloader without hardbricking can't get back to stock with any confirmed method.
I have posted bootloader dumps, but no one has flashed them and I'm not messing with trying to flash them. They are dumps from my device and that is the ONLY guarantee I provide for them.

i messed up and flashed an i9100 rom and am having the call prob u described. can i just flash the modem or stock rooted kernel and be back to 100%? if so do i use odin and do i need to check the box for repartition or anything like that? thx in advance!!!
Hello guys,
I am experienced in flashing roms and whatever... I already did this hundreds of times with a Galaxy S, Asus Transformer and now with my Galaxy Nexus.
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3G+wifi). I tried to install CM9 but it didn't work. And man... I really tried a loooot!!!
Well... now I am trying to use the regular stock rom in my Galaxy Tab and everytime the screen turns itself off and I turn it on again, it flickers!!! It's VERY annoying since I have to turn off the tablet to be able to use it again.
I have a nandroid backup and I restored it, but it didn't work... it still flickers!!! =P
I also tried to flash some recovery files: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2487 like you guys recommended in some other posts.
But it didn't work, too.
Guys... I am getting a little desperate in here... I have been searching for an answer for this for days.
Can anyone help me, please?

Hello 9xnine, thank you for your reply. Unhappily I don't have a stock rom (and it seems there's none available - Brazil's model).
Anyway restoring a nandroid backup (like I did) would be the same than flash a stock rom back, right?
Theoretically yes but I often find that Nandroid's won't work for a number of reasons. ODIN is and always has been my friend.
Try this. Looks like the ZVV build is for Brazil

Flash by Odin rom from this link:http://www.hotfile.com/dl/145473375/7dd41d4/P7510UEKMP_P7510XABKMP_XAB.zip.html
This is a rom for 7510 but it works with 7500. Then you have to upload the latest CWM and CM9.
For me it works.

Did you tried making a factory reset (data wipe) from the recovery?
yes reset ยจ+ catch and the ohter one in advance
Make sure you flash the right kernel.. if your rom is based on JB, then flash a JB kernel. Otherwise, you will be stuck on bootloop (as in what situation you are in now(

im not in bootloop.. i can boot to the phone and use apps and that but its rebooting by its self after some mins
hey
You have to flash another kernel. Mine did the same.
Im also fron DK, and I assume you have the I9300 intl?
If your current ROM is a JB, then try flashing siyah kernel.
Works fine with mine
i got it to work but dont know how lol..
Oh. I thought you were on bootloop since you stated that you couldnt go past the samsung logo. Lol. Good to hear you got it sorted out

You can flash any ROM you like, your carrier won't notice it. The only thing that may not work is the modem, but guess what? there's plenty of modems you can flash
Keep in mind that once you modify your ROM your warranty will be voided, so back it all up just in case.
If your device is I9100, then look for I9100's ROMs.

1. You can use any I9100 rom if its a UK phone. Just dont try and flash a I9100x rom.
2. See #1.
Please dont make your next questions be silly ones like "how do I root my phone" or "how do I flash a rom", These questions have obviously already been asked/answered already and also covered in sticky topics/guides.
All you need to do is reboot into download mode, flash Siyah kernel, wipe data and then flash whatever rom you choose via recovery.
Ok, cool, many thx guys... & yeah i've backed up my data & efs all ready..
Now i'm gonna go rom crazy for a bit.
lol TheATHEiST.. i was gonna ask just those Q's and ask whats the best rom ?. joke.. i've been reading up on how to do. phone is rooted via the easy not needing an insecure kernel method. gonna try Siyah & a duel boot.

I have another Q if anyone knows: i'm currently trying out duel boot, but tried one and it wouldn't work and am looking for others to try but not sure if they are comparable or not with duel boot.. so heres my question
The backup i made from the recovery in CWM before trying any ROMS, is it a ROM or just a backup like a ROM ? if i try another rom without duel booting and dont like it or it messes up will my backup put phone EXACTLY back how it was ?

It's a back up, you can't dual boot a back up. It's just sitting there for a....rainy day.
What ROMs are you trying? what kernel are you using?
Some kernels don't support dual boot, as well as some kernels don't support certain ROMs (like JB leak).
Go ahead and do some research on this matter, you got a lot of material to go around.

Hi again, i must have not been clear in what i meant. (i did edit my previous post to make it clearer but it said i have to wait 5 mins cus i'm a new member.. despite being registered for over 1 yr. my edit must have failed)
i know a backup cant dual boot, what i was asking is; the backup i make in CWM "before" attempting to mess with any ROMs, is it in its itself a ROM ? (or just a none zipped backup).. i was also asking after trying a ROM, if i didn't like it or it messed up my phone would the original backup i make put my phone back EXACTLY as it was ?
In the past few hrs i've tried to dual boot using the Siyah kernel..
1 SuperNexus 2.0 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076650 stuck on boot saying com.adroid stopped working (or something)
2. SlimBean ROM,, same error
3. Resurrection Remix rom.. it asked which kernel & modem i wanted to install so i aborted.
Due the these errors thats why i asked the above question, that IF i go ahead & try a ROM on its own without dual booting, will my backup put phone how it is now using the backup i made in CWM if things go wrong ?
Thx again for anyhelp
I still would like to try & dual boot but i may leave that for another time & just try a straight rom.
Peace
Another Q, is there a thread that lists all\most or a lot of ROM's, searching is killing me.. and as XDA is sooooooooooo bit i know a thread with them all could be right under my nose.

Hello everyone, I was using ultimarom till now and it worked like a charm. Today I thought hey lets upgrade to android 4.4 so I found temasek's rom and it seemed fine. After flashing the rom, it got stuck on boot screen. So I reflashed the stock rom (btw I wiped everything as required) and it was working. So I retried flashing the Temasek's rom and it booted this time, only thing is that my touch screen was not responding. The capacitive buttons are working also the touch screen is showing everything but not responding to anything. I searched a little bit, and it might be possible that my digitizer is broken which I hope is not since I am in a different country and it will be a pain to do it here. Also I read that if you tried to install Note 2 kernel/rom this might happen but I know that temasek's rom is definitely for s3 so it shouldnt be the case for me. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I tried with both stock and temasek once again and the touch screen still does not respond. I always used cwm for recovery though, and did a factory reset on the stock recovery once to see if that works. I can flash ultima as well I suppose but I am not sure if that will fix it.
Edit: I tried to flash ultima but the installation steps required the use of touch screen so I could not proceed.
Are you sure that you download Temasek's rom for I9300 not for another model? Because Temasek supports more devices.
And on Temasek's thread I didn't find any user complaining about touch screen issue after installing it,so I think that you flashed it for different model.

Flash back to stock with odin if problem is still there then it is hardware issue....
I rechecked and it is temasek for I9300. I restocked ofc with odin and it is no use tbh. I mean it is weird as the first time I flashed stock rom the touch screen was not working for 30 seconds or sth than it started working so I was really happy for a second.. After another flash it was not working and I was like yea it will work soon, but it didnt. I tried with loads of roms and kernels and it is still no use.
Any help? I have no idea how to fix this! I may have to send my phone for replacement which will be costly I suppose.. Any little tip will be appreciated.

Didn't u install the new version of Cwm? I'm using ultimarom v16 & I try to use Android v4.4.2... It seemed good to me

Solution
Hey dude, I couldnt find any solution to that problem. What I did was to send it in for replacement but with warranty. For that you need to triangle away your phone and also install the official firmwares. I had to use a mouse in order to do that but you will need a usb to micro usb converter, which is not that hard to find( and also cheap). They couldnt tell that I installed unofficial firmware, I replaced my screen flawlessly. You can find how to triangle away your phone in this forum and also sammobile is the place to look for official firmware.
Cheers
