HI guys I need some help Please
I tried to flash my wife's Samsung Galaxy S2
and now it is stuck in recovery mode
it won't boot past recovery
I can navigate in recovery, if I chose any thing in recovery mode
I get a " HAT " clockwork symbol and it freezes there.
I have tried ODIN and it looks like it flashes a rom then reboots into clockwork recovery.
I am stuck, really stuck.
A week ago the wife smashed the other Sansung Galaxy S2 in the car door smashed the screen and lcd
So can some one help me out Please and Thanks
Winston
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but are you confusing the power and home buttons for "enter" in CWM?
I ask because I've done it myself
In CWM Recovery 4.0.0.2, home is "enter".
In other versions I've used (forget which, bundled with kernel), power is "enter".
Thank you
I really got to thank you
I was pushing the wrong buttom....

Glad to help!

No problem, no beer needed (well, not until after work anyway...)
See my sig? Assuming you won't help LUFC, just hit the "thanks" button (is there one on the xda app?)...
You're new, but you're flashing - braver than I was.... Can only advise you to read, read again and keep on reading - it's all here. The search button is your friend too.
For future reference, any similar problems probably belong either in the General or Q&A sections - you'll get more help there.
Last I checked, this is not a development thread. Thread moved and closed.
Hi all,
I installed a kernel on my phone so that I was able to Root my device.
My phone was booting up and I saw the yellow explenation mark underneath the the Samsung Galaxy S II logo.
There's only one issue, my phone won't start, it freezes at the boot logo and won't do a thing :/
How can I fix this?
It freezes or is it in a bootloop?
If you got into bootloop, check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
see this !!!

It won't enter in Recovery mode,
When i hold down home, power, and volume UP the bootup-logo (Samsung galaxy S II ''With Explenation mark) shows up, than dissapears for 1 second than shows itself again and it's just freezes like it did before.
Now I never heard about a Boot Loop but this looks very disturbing.
I need some help with this.
Jeezus Christ, you joined today and already posted in the wrong section, didn't bother to read or search. So on that note I HOPE your device is Bricked just to serve you a purpose of reading before hand.
However since you are unable to read or search, we will treat you like a child. Your device is not bricked. Turn it off, take out battery, unplug from computer. Put back in battery and press volume DOWN, power and home until you get into download mode. Then plug into computer, start odin and either reflash the kernel in PDA box, or flash a stock rom.
Now this is been covered numerous times, so I will ask again to read next time before you post a question that has been answered 10000x times over.
Also if you would have read anything at all, you would know that you will get the yellow triangle when flashing any kernel but a stock on. There is a way to get rid of it, but that requires searching and reading. Something you know nothing about.

At first I would like for you to tone it down a little bit, I searched down the whole Internet, I just didn't now under what name I had to search.
Since I don't know the name of this particular issue, I couldn't find it on this website nor on the Internet (wich is obvious). So I started a treath to release my question.
Before claiming and occusing me of something, aks me the questions first.
You're judging a book by it's cover and your arrogance blind you.
But i'm not here to occuse people of something or giving them names etc, I'm here for some serious bussines.
Now...
I saw your answer (possible solution) and I wan't to thank you for this, I will give this a try and keep this treath updated.

Every hear the phrase, 'lest you have something positive to say, be silent.'
I'm gathering not.
Sure, he's new. Sure, he isn't supposed to post here.
Belittling him is, I assure you, productive only in YOUR universe.
What is with the freaking attitudes in XDA as of late? If you don't want to reply, don't. No one is forcing you to.
The kicker here: I'm just about as sick of seeing people post in the wrong area as I am about people complaining about people posting in the wrong area.

I had the same problem few days ago.
For me the logo showed up, disappered, showed up again and than it went in recovery. Hold those 3 buttons until phone goes in recovery mod, don't stop holding them.

Yes wishing loss, due to lack of reading. If you notice my reply I did offer help. Just had to ensure he posts in the correct section next time. And as for your phrase you said. Never heard it.
It's called constructive criticism. Bet me he will search before making another post. Otherwise I will be lurking in the darkness.
Oh and don't like my reply? Don't really care.

You are wrong... step 2 says: Hold down home, power, and volume UP. This will enter recovery mode. If you are using CF-Root, you'll get CWM recovery. If not, you get stock recovery. It doesn't matter which appears.
As I said, you should enter recovery

No it won't go in Recovery mode unfortunately.
I think my phone is bricked as I noticed the ''Phone...!...Computer'' logo when I tried to start it up.
Can happen, now It's just the challenge to find the solution.
Perhaps I should go to the store and tell them if they can help recover it.
If you got any suggestion what I should do it would be wel used.
In the mean time I will earch on the Internet and the forums how to unbrick the phone by myself.
Note - I still can enter Download Mode.

Did you have a custom rom installed before you ended like this?
Did you even try DOWNLOAD MODE? You dont not need recovery. You need download to flash the kernel again or a stock rom.
VOLUME DOWN, HOME, POWER until you see the "downloading, do not turn off"
Then connect to odin and reflash the kernel in PDA

No,
It all happened after I installed a costum-kernel (The one that I need in order to root my phone) I followed the instuructions of a Youtube webpage.
I did root my phone before to try it out and it worked smoothly.
After I realised that I could so much once a SuperUser i wan't it to Root my phone again but it all went wrong when my phone was rebooting after I installed the costum-kernel.
I went into Download mode, I tried to install the latest firmware on my phone, yet it failed to do so, so i plugged out my phone, shut it off, turned it on and all of a sudden I saw the *Phone...!...Computer* logo wich (if i am correct) stands for a (Soft)brick.
I re-installed the costum-kernel and the Brick-Logo isn't visible anymore, but I'm back at the previous problem, The Samsung Boot Logo with Explenation Mark freeze issue.
Once I entered Download mode I noticed that Costum Binary Download is set to (Count 5).
I need a good tutorial how to fix this, I'm quite new with the Android (half a week)
Help is well appreciated.
**Posted in the III sub forum instead of II, so my sincere apologies for that***
I'm in desperate need of help. Forgive My noobness, but as I said, I'm desperate. And I've searched and read for hours, but can't find anything that relates to my exact situation, or that will help me and I can't remember anything about the string of numbers to get my root, except that it wasn't listed ANYWHERE (I just updated to Ice Cream yesterday if that matters) I know it had an L and a 5 in it.
So how can I get it back to stock or root it? I've obviously done something wrong. I'm without any internet right now, so i'm totally relying on this phone. It's stuck at the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-1900 screen, won't come on, turn off, I can't do the volume up/down screen, Nothing.
I used an XDA YouTube vid to root, but it wont' let me post it here.
Also, later added that I did get it to go to a menu by pressing the up volume that I have never seen that would let me reboot the phone, or do a factory reset. When I tried to reboot, it went to a loading/waiting screen with a hat on it.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. I'm not totally technically challenged, but I'm no Bill Gates either.
You need to boot your phone up into Download Mode by turning it off (pull out the battery), then put the battery back in; connect one end of your USB charge cable into a laptop or desktop, hold vol up AND vol down, and then plug the usb cable into the phone. Then you need to use Odin to flash working firmware/software.
Thank you!! But--here is my problem and you may not know any more than I do---what is the working firmware? I think it is I need before the CC that I'm not sure what it is, correct? Again thank you for helping me.
Another appearant victim of galaxys2root.
First, you must verify that you have the SGS II - SGH-I777 model. If not, you're in the wrong forum.
I assume you are able to get into download mode as outlined above.
Go to this thread and flash straight stock UCKH7. Follow the directions. Post back here with success or failure of the flash.

Yes, I have a SGH-1777. I just saw II and posted in three, totally my mistake last night.
I just tried, and it said ''Low battery, can't access download mode'' in red at the top of the screen, so I'm assuming that I *can* access it.
I'm going to go get in the pool and try again when I get out, letting it charge for about an hour.
Thank you again. I'll let you know if I'm able to do this or not.
Why did you flash something i900 if you definitely have an i777? If you are able to fix this you need to do a lot more reading before you continue trying to do things to your phone.

I didn't flash something for an i900---I followed a step by step video posted by an XDA member for a S2 Galaxy 1777.
I figured out where I went wrong, I checked the auto reboot and F-Reset Time.
I was able to fix it, with help of reading the links posted here and lot of help from someone else. I do appreciate all the information posted here, I've learned a lot about my phone over the last few days just by reading.

I'm glad to hear that your phone is working, and that you have learned a lot.
With regard to what went wrong... checking auto reboot and F-reset time are normally recommended when flashing anything with Odin3. I'd be more inclined to believe that the problem was in the firmware that you flashed.
