[Q] Phone wont boot after factory reset - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used factory reset on my S2 and now to phone has gone into an endless loop.
I used the reset because the phone kept on freezing (few months into using Litening rom 6.0).
When I try to connect my phone to Odin, it doesn't connect at all.
What can I do to fix my phone?

Try entering recovery via vol up,menu and power and try wiping in there or try vol down, menu and power, I've had boot loop and had to do this before

[Q] How to boot into CWM

Hey all, im running the old version of CWM and im trying to figure out how to cold boot directly into CWM just in case I soft brick and can't get past the moto logo.
Thanks in advance

The old of tenfars?
You need to plug your device to wall charge, and then manually restart your phone! Or choose reboot in cwm apk of tenfar..

Hold down the power button while taking a piss on it, then not more than 5 seconds after that hit it with a wrench a couple times.
When you power the phone up hold power and down volume at the same time. Fastboot will show up on the screen, let go of power and press volume down a few more times until Motorola Recovery shows up, then press the volume up button to enter recovery. CWM should take over from there.

[Q] Stuck and unresponsive in recovery mode

I tried flashing cm7 to my new sgs2, and my phone is now stuck in recovery mode. I've tried removing the battery, etc, but it always boots into recovery. Even here whenever i try choosing an option from the menu all i get is the cwm logo (hat with the circle). I've been surfing the net for about 3 hours now, and haven't found a working solution. please help!!!
Are you selecting with the home button or the power button?

I tried both- power button does not respond, and home button just switches between menu and cwm logo
Try getting it into download mode and reflash stock.
Sometimes flashes go wrong. But since cyanogenmod doesn't change bootloaders it's very very unlikely the phone is ruined.
Or if you ran a backup before flashing cyanogenmod, restore that.

i managed to get the phone into download mode, but odin wont recognize it. is there another way to reflash stock or restore my backup?
Try reflashing cyanogenmod again (should still be on your phone) . Make sure to wipe everything, dalvik cache, anything like that.

It won't let me choose anything from the recovery menu- any option I try to select just gives me the hat and circle logo...
Very weird. See if you can get adb to recognize the phone.

Fixed- used heimdall to flash back to stock... Thanks for the help!
Kudos to heimdall! Glad you got it going.

Out of curiosity, did you use rom manager to install cwm?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Just as someone else point out, when you are in cwm and hit the power button it will usually give you the circle/ hat. So DON'T HIT the power button. Use the volume keys to scroll through all the cwm folders on the screen and then hit the home button to click on the highlighted folder.
Also for the 1. FIRST TIME whenever you install CM7 you have to flash it once, let it reboot, it may nit work all the way through boot. 2. Go back to cwm and again flash CM7 a second time. This time it will complete for sure and fully boot up.

Stuck in Boot! Odin not helping!! (I think)

Guys my S3 was working really fine. I updated OTA while on root. Now it won't turn on
I flashed the latest ICS Firmware XXBLH1 via Odin.
The first flash went as it should be. Odin made it a "Pass"
But when the flashing was over the Recovery Mode came and came there written
E:/ Write failed or something like that.
It didn't boot up as usual
Tried another flash... Still nothing... but this time the Recovery Mode didn't show up and at first it used to go to the "SAMSUNG" logo. But now it just gets stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-i9300"
PLEASE I NEED SOME EXPERT OPINION RIGHT NOW. I THINK I JUST WASTED MY MONEY!
Bump!
Try getting into recovery by pressing volume up+ home button + power and do a data wipe.

[Q] S3 not booting and not going to recovery after flashing stock rom

Hello Everyone,
I had Jelly bombed rom v 7.0 (samsung gs3 sprint). I didn't wipe out data/ factory reset , so after flashing stock rom (factory one and then updated ones). Now it stuck on samsung logo flashing a in the background. So it seems like it trying find files or something. But not booting and turning on. I tried to put in recovery mode by vol up+home+power, but it don't work. I downloaded the jelly bombed from internet but it's a zip file so can't flash it with Odin. Help me Please!!!!
Thanks,
Dev
If you have a Sprint you are in the wrong forum
If you use odin, just run the stock rom over. I presume vol down and power takes you to download mode?

Yes, Thanks for replying. But It's now working. I was keep holding vol down + home + power util about 10 seconds but it never took me to the recovery. But the actual method is hold vol down + home + power and after 2-3 seconds leave the power button n keep holding other two. So I finally got to the recovery mode, deleted caches and wiped all data. After this restarted but the same problem. Finally re flashing solved the problem and it's working now!!
