Hello all,
I think i just bricked my SGSII. I flashed the nightly build of november 16th from Cyanogenmod 7. Now if i start my sgs2 he shows me the samsung start screen with a yellow trangle and an exclamation mark in it.
This also happens when i try to start into the recovery. And it stays on there. Is this still fixable?
Thnx in advance,
Quinten
Sure. The instructions for installing CM7 tell you to make a nandroid backup, so just restore that.

Quinten, boot while holding volume up+menu+power. This should really get you into recovery. From there you can either restore your nandroid or try to flash CM again. But the combo I mentioned definitely gets you into recovery.
if u did back up u can restore it with the recovery mode
if u didnt do backup
then u have to go into download mode
power off ur phone
hold down the middle button + volume down + power button
this will take u to download mode
download odin
download the firmware that u want to flash it
connect ur phone and flash
and ur phone is soft bricked wich means its not fully bricked so u can repair it easy
and here is a link that have the firmware u want to download
it also have guides and the odin programe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
and dont forget to install kies( because it have the sgs2 drivers) on ur computer
also before u open odin dont forget to close KIES
if i helped please dont forget to press the thanks button
take care

as far as i know, if your phone is bootloop
the easiest thing to do is re-flashing it using flashtool.
coz u cant enter ur phone memory except the phone can be usable.
but, if the bootloop because the incompatible kernel/custom rom, try to install another kernel/cusrom. thats what i try on my phone
sorry for my bad english !
If you have clockwork recovery and did a backup of you phone while it was stable, restore it. If you don't, I advice you to start making backups before doing crazy stuff, you can access clockwork recovery by pressing the volume up key.
Assuming that you didn't do a backup, get flashtool, select the option to flash firmware, remove and reinsert the battery press the volume down key and connect it to the computer, it should be on flash mode and you should be able to flash a new rom.

It's volume down, when booting. While the Sony Ericsson logo gets brighter and the blue LD turns on

We need a lot more info. What did you flash, how did you flash it. Where did you get the firmware. I ask the last question because according to your profile, you just created this account today. Which tells me you got the firmware elsewhere.

To boot into recovery you want to release the buttons by the second Samsung logo pop-up. And don't plug into computer. That's for download mode.
Regardless, I don't see recovery being much help to you if Odin is not working for you.
Is odin showing that its successfully flashing your phone? After flashing back to stock with Odin, is the siyah logo at least gone?

Yes, but you need to describe everything you did and everything that happened to make you want to flash back to stock. Without knowing what caused the problem in the first place, we can't help you very much. You say you installed many roms (stock, custom). Your phone probably did not fail randomly. There is probably some event or circumstance you can think of, or change you made, just before it failed. Please be specific.

Hold the Vol+/- & PWR button at the same time, when seeing first boot, keep holding all 3, when past 2nd boot screen, release all 3.
There's no PC involved.
welll the phone was perfectly when one day pum ! turn off and then i cant boot normally. So i try to put in recovery mode and i hold volume upvolume down+power and in the second boot when i see the samsung logo i release and nothing happend. and i see only the samsung galax logo bla bla.. when i turn on the phone normally i can see the samsung logo then de siyah kernel and stack there. if i wait some minutes its restart and do it again. I try to install with odin some stock rom and pass perfectly but the phone still show me the same. its like i didnt change anything. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh i dont know if u understand me jajjaaj my english is not very good lol im gonna cry
I recently sold my og note to a friend. it was rooted running black star. He has asked me to try and fix it for him because it will not boot up. when he gave it to me it was stuck at the download mode warning screen ("volume up : Continue ; volume down : Cancel (restart phone)") . I was able to get it into recovery . I tried to flash a few different roms i had on the phone when i gave it to him. I was able to flash a rom and get a successful message but then it would not start it would just go back to the warning screen. I then tried to use odin to flash stock rom but it wont go past the warning screen. pressing up or down doesnt do anything. the only thing it will do from there is boot into recovery mode. Does it sound like its bricked or should i try something else? anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
matt
Sounds like the volume down button is stuck. When you reboot if you hold volume down with power it takes you to that screen. Pull the battery and see if you can free the button.
Agreed ....the device is not bricked ....g
Or friend deleted OS files and it can't boot. Worst case is you connect to a pc and Odin or Kies flash a new system.

download, unzip the downloaded file until u get a tar.md5 file
got o recovery and wipe data/factory reset (and format system, preload, data and cache if on a custom recovery, check under mount and storage)
reboot to download mode, plug your phone
open odin, click pda, select the tar.md5 file, hit start and wait.
if the phone does boot after flashing, wait a minute, reboot to recovery, wipe data/factory reset and reboot (even if the device boots at first time, i advise u to do this wipe anyway)
back working again, couldnt get into the recovery mode, tried the up volume home and power, also searched and tried the up down power also, all i want to do is unlock my phone lol

phone it's working fine and you can't get into recovery mode?
Keep trying that combo, do it while the device is off, press it till you get there.
And why the hell do you want to get into recovery in order to unlock the phone?
Sent from the little guy
the guy above recommended i go to recovery and delete all data, so thats what i was trying to do, he also helped get my phone back working, is it possible to unlock without rooting ?
Yes, by getting the unlock code from your carrier.
I suggest you read a couple of threads before you attempt rooting it.

i bought the phone on my carrier from ebay, i have now changed carrier but like the phone.
Root it is.

Try flashing stock rom for ur device..u will get the stock rom from sammobile.....
[Tip: if u want to forcefully go into download mode hold volume down and power until a black screen appears then hold volume down+home+power button to go to download mode....
[Edit:did some research there is no available twrp for sm t113....so u must have flashed wrong twrp and gotten ur self in this problem....]

U could have flashed the home_csc file in the csc slot instead of regular csc in odin....doing so will make ur device not wipe data....
Still tho happy to know it works
