I just switched my phone on this morning (Samsung Galaxy Fit) and it went straight onto the Android system recovery screen and it keeps going to that when I press the power on/off or take the battery out and back in.
Looks like this:
Android system recovery
Samsung Recovery Utils for BML (used to come up but not anymore)
(in blue)
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
test redbend fotal[FS]
(in yellow)
--Applying Multi-CSC --
multicsc : opera mini[li] reset
Applied the CSC-code 'XE'.
I can use the volume up/down keys to move down the list of options (in blue) but can't actually select anything - enter/ok key doesn't work, or anything else. Can anyone help? I've had a quick look on the Internet and tried using Odin but that doesn't seem to be helping. I can't seem to access anything.
Can you get into download mode? (Press middle Key ( Home key ) + Power + Volume Down)

Yes, I can do that and have tried using Odin, etc in download mode but it makes no difference

Try pressing home when you're on the reboot option.
Or for download mode, remove battery, hold both volume buttons and plug in USB.

When you are in download mode and you try to use Odin to flash a rom, what happens?

Well, everyone appears to go fine on Odin, the 'pass' notice comes up. However my phone just returns to the Android system recovery screen and I still can't select anything.

You should use the x10 flashtool and flash the 2.1 firmware and start all over

flashed an odin package ??
that happens on simply honey sometimes, going into recovery (GB bootloaders needed - vol down and power) and disabling voodoo fixes it, reboot and leave for 15 min then you can enable voodoo whenever you want

ODIN requires download mode not recovery. Can you access download mode with the buttons?
- If so, then just ODIN. Also, if you can get download mode maybe try to ODIN the GB-bootloader and try the fix above.
Good luck!

no i cant get into download mode either
1. Pull the battery.
2. Hold down both volume up + down buttons
3. Insert the battery.
4. Wait a few moments.
Enjoy download mode.
I was having the same issue as the OP, so my question is how do you disable voodoo? Anyone know?

ADB(google it)
Also try 3 button combo, when you see splash screen let go power and volume down but continue holding volume up(maybe will unstick volume down)

I can't boot the phone since i'm stuck at the "galaxy s2 screen" since my volume down is acting up i can't enter recovery "holding the button down"
either i'm doing something wrong, but adb doesn't recognize my device and i have the drivers. it sucks not have the - volume button not working.
is there another way that recognizes the phone to get into recovery?
could always get a jig to get into download mode, flash back to stock or another rom.
EDIT: next time, i suggest that app or setting up a recovery mode link in the power menu

Try going to mounts and storage, and set the usb mount to on. I haven't tried this but I know that the computer does recognize the phone.

the problem is that I can't use my "volume down button isn't registering" and adb doesn't see my device. in device manager all i see is galaxy s2 with an exclamation point. and the phone is stuck on the splash screen with the yellow triangle. if i could get into recovery i will be fine. the volume button is killing me right now. i need to get adb to see the phone i reinstalled all drivers and programs no luck. googled for 2hrs. struggling here
Sounds like a driver issue if the computer sees the device with a yellow bang on it.
I would check for another set of drivers and then select the device and do update drivers and point it to the newly downloaded ones.
I don't know for sure, but would a jig get it into a mode that would allow for a flash?
Did your volume buttons ever work? Are you trying with a case on?
My phone is stuck in some kind of a boot loop... i can get it into download mode but cant get it into cwm. I have tried flashing lots of stuff via odin but it doesn't make any difference. Is there any way I can fix this?
weird O.O do you mean bootanimation is looping cause you can actually get into CWM before the bootanimation
nope clockwork mod has disappeared D:
After installing new ROM did u again wiped cache or data?? If so reinstalling would be better,,
I reinstalled using odin
try to reset factory settings and clear cache after installing...

By flashing via Odin with a stock rom, you'll loose CWM. You have to flash CWM again to get it back. But as you described it, you can't even get into Recovery mode (blue Samsung recovery screen with HOME+Power button combo)?
^^

If u can't get to recovery mod then flash a new firmware from sammobile via Odin

I had this problem also.
I reloaded a new stock rom from sam and loaded it with odin, after the install I turned the phone on with the power button + the home button and did a factory reset and wipe catch.
And that worked.
u need to hold the power button + home button till you get in the menu.
I came from cm7.1 and went to stock rom 2.3.5.
Hope get it. Otherwise post your steps from which rom you came.

or...
when phone is off, hold power button and home button in the same time.
when the phone is showing samsung, you can release the power button, but keep hold the home button until recovery menu showed
I'm the stock att rom on 2.3.4. I had my phone for a while but never backed up my ROM. I performed a permissions fix and rebooted. I selected backup ROM and it rebooted. The phone tried to reboot but got stuck trying to boot to recovery menu. I hit the volume button and got the Rom M. recovery menu. None of the options work. It just shows an icon and does nothing. If I hit the volume button it goes back to menu. I've tried to reboot several times and it keeps on booting to a non functional Rom Manager menu.
I'm done my searches and I'm no luck. Is there a way to recovery without completely wiping the phone? I'm hoping there's an easy way to recover the boot using Odin?
Here's exactly what I did in that situation .. take the battery out and leave it out for about 2 hours.. this will totally deplete your phone of any kind of power.. after your done put it back in and it should boot up perfectly! If not try to take it out for longer

Depending on which version of cwm you are booting into...what button are you using to select? Most of them its either power or the home button. Try the home button to select.

Thanks for the response but I don't see how this would fix the problem as it boots from internal storage and not the memory. I'll try it while I'm doing research and waiting for more responses.

Much Thanks!!!!! Karashta. Selecting the home bottom to select instead of the power is the proper way of selecting the menu's.
Thanks for making my day.

No problem man. That freaked me out coming from my captivate where power was select. Glad I could help

Hi guys,
Late last year i sold my GS2 to a guy at work. Rooted and with a custom ROM installed (Cognition V1.5.1 - yes i know its old but its not my phone )
I've attempted to install RC1 for CM9 this morning however, I'm falling at the first hurdle. I've booted into Clockwork recovery (4.0.0.2). The menu buttons work fine i.e, up/down and power as enter but when i select anything it goes to a black screen with the ROM Manager logo on it (the gog and the hat) - but no options.
Do i need to install a newer version of Clockwork on the device? If i do whats the best way to do it? Do i use ROM Manager to update it as i cant access any of the menus in recovery (other than the top menu)
I've not seen this problem before as normally people are kept in boot loops or cant get passed a splash screen.
EDIT - i've just managed to get the phone to boot and its now running as normal. I'm just concerned that if i go back into recovery i might not get it back up again.
Many thanks

You're pressing the wrong button lol... use the power button to confirm and the volume buttons to move up and down. The home button does nothing.
