So i have been running miui on my sgs2 for the past two weeks, everything works fine. then i boot into recovery to make a backup to try to dualboot. but then it just dosent go into cmw. its just stuck at the samsung warning logo screen...
any help would be awesome!
been stuck for almost ten minutes now... should i use odin to reflash or something? i cant even get to cmw to wipe! somethings screwed up!
What happens if you take the battery out, and try booting like normal? Can you get back to Miui?
Try turning the phone completely off, then going to recovery mode like normal (Vol up + down + power until it gets to the screen)
Also, if you want to get rid of that yellow exclamation icon, you can buy an usb jig or by following Entropy512's work-around method, though I dont think it has anything to do with your problem. Just saying if you wanted to get rid of it.

I recently installed JAC's kernel, and today I was getting force closes on nearly all of my apps. Even market would FC. So I did a nandroid (the nandroid was with the stock kernel), and now the phone won't boot past the Vibrant Samsung screen. Recovery menu works however. I'm guessing the issue is that I shouldn't have flashed a nandroid that was non-JAC kernel.
I have absolutely no idea what to do in this situation. Can anyone help? I really appreciate it, thanks.
UPDATE:
I flashed the Official T-Mo ODIN images, and got the phone working again. I'm not sure if there was some other way without wiping the phone, but this way worked.
I did a nandroid recovery last night of my stock image and it took about 5 minutes to get past the Vibrant Samsung screen, but it ultimately made it past it.
Hm, I must have been not paitient enough. I didn't count but it felt like I waited 4-5 minutes.
I can NOT get past this screen or into download or recovery mode... All I get is a spinning wheel... tried to downgrade from CM7.... I tried everything Ive read to try to get into download mode...any ideas?

I was finally able to get into download mode..... I spent hours getting my google on reading all the different was to get into download mode...Now my phone would not boot past the "Samsung Vibrant" screen and all the different button combos wouldnt work... Here is what what worked for me..
1 I ungluged the phone from the laptop and removed the battery to make sure the phone was off...
2 I held down BOTH vol+ AND vol-
3 While holding down BOTH vol keys I plugged in the USB and BAMM!!!!!! download mode.....
I hope this helps someone.....
didnt think nandroid backed up the kernel
so doing nandroid to get back to the kernel you were on before wouldnt have done anything
well I tried flashing a new ROM, it was stuck on the boot screen for a good half hour so I decided to restart the phone, it then went into a boot loop.
I used common sense and tried to boot the phone into CWMOD to reflash the stock ROM, or even another ROM, but the phone wont boot into CWMOD, it just goes straight into the boot loop, so i tried booting it into download mode so I could try use Odin, but the phone wont boot into that either.
I'm not sure if its the phone being a retard and not booting into either of those modes, or my phone has been suffering with the home button sometimes, it just refuses to work... but anyways please say you can help me with this and i wont have to fork out a huge some of cash to buy a new one......

Sometimes it helps to take out the battery for 5 mins. Then the 3 key press for download and recovery works again.

If the phone gets as far as a bootloop, it's pretty sure it'll be able to go at least into download mode.

That might be your problem, the home button is kinda required for recovery or d/l mode.
That's a hardware issue, so you should return it for warranty anyways.
However, till then, try getting a USB Jig, that gets you into d/l-mode w/o needing to press any buttons.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
hello, my name is shahrukh and i need some help. i downloaded animmod (from 4shared) and then i donwloaded busybox. then i pressed blur and then it asked me if i want to reboot it. i pressed yes. this is when the problem starts. It turned off and then it turned on half way and then it turned off. it kept doing that and then i just left it for the night. in the morning it was not doing anything. when i held the power button it turned off and on for like two times and then turned off. i cant even start it up so i have no idea what to do.
i don"t know what to do
please help!!!!
Okay, we need details, describe exactly when "halfway on" is. We need your full model number and rom version (if you know it). Have you tried plugging it in to charge? Does it show anything now that you try to boot it? try holding volume up and powering on to enter recovery menu.
details
ok so when it turns on it says samsung. then after like 10 seconds it turns off. it does that for a few times and then it just goes in a black screen. the model number is YP-G7OC/NAW. when i plug it in to charge it goes on and off two times and then off. if it has low battery it just shows the sign. as for the rom i don't think i have any. i just rooted it using superoneclick. if it goes to recovery mode what do i do?
thanks!
(you got me really fired up when i saw the recovery menu!)
If you can get to recovery menu, try a factory reset, and clear cache. I am not sure if there is a recovery rom for your device, you should check samfirmware.com
tried both of them...no luck. and i couldn't find a recovery rom on samfrimware.com.
Your device has capacitive or mechanical home button?
it has a capacitive home button...the usa version

The phone boots in recovery?
If so, I can investigate a little more what's happening.
I'll try to post a return-to-stock image soon... The problem is that mine is cluttered with crap that the zergRush exploit added (it insisted on installing busybox instead of just rooting...)
(I'm not sure, but I think someone else already posted a stock zImage and system image...)
Here is the post about fixing capacitive buttons. A quick search of forum should have found it.

nooooooo!!! you guys have all got it wrong. first of all it doesnt boot in recovery. the only way to get in recovery mode is when it shows the battery sign i hold "up volume"+ power button.and the capaciative button is completely fine. im just stuck in a bootloop (i think) and it has nothing to do with a broken capacitive button! i will try to post a video today to show you guys exactly whats happening.
i kind of had the same problem, one time i thought i had entropy's kernel on and i had CWM well i didn't but i still thought i had so i tried rebooting into recovery using the terminal:
su
reboot recovery
then i turned off and went to this weird recovery menu it had four options, reboot system, apply update from SD card, wipe data partition, and power off and it had a ton of red letters and words saying like, couldn't access data partition or cache partition and couldn't access /data/media, or system, and then i just turned it off because i wouldn't let me choose an option, and then i got stuck in a loop but not during when it says SAMSUNG mine happened during the animation music part that look like fireworks and then SAMSUNG would light up blue then go through it again and 2 more times then go black and i tried flashing the US stock ROM in download mode but still would go through the loop and it doesn't even charge so i got nothing
so did you somehow fix yours? and i never got a recovery menu that showed something about shut down.:confused
Before brick
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
wait....are you asking me those questions? just to tell you im no developer or something. im just a 12 year old who has his galaxy player stuck in a boot loop. you have to make another thread if you have a problem.
sorry!
Ok. : ) You got it wrong. No problem. His case is different from mine. Just wanted to use her Brick in case. Nothing more. good luck.
I resolve my doubts alone. Nothing that Google does not respond. haha
At least before brick.
ok. let me ask google too xD
anyways..anyone have any idea of how to fix this boot loop?
im trying to do the Linux thing by running the ressurector ans the VM windows the forum is posted under development called hard brick recovery for galaxy 5.0
ok.(i have no idea what you are saying...just saying!)
Yo guys well it eventually had to happen someday. Well i will try to explain what exactly happenend.
I had the Sensation 5 Rom on my device. which means i was on 4.4.2 the CWM recovery is 6.0.4.7
yesterday i decided to flash back to the Revolution HD Rom which is 4.3 if im not mistaken... i didnt change the cwm recovery.
There were no problems while flashing and the Revolution HD Rom was working fine until today when i decided to boot into recovery Mode.
(My hardware PowerButton is defect thats why i took it out of my phone so yeah there is no Power Button on my S3)
Because i cant use the 3 button combo to get into Recovery i used the App quick boot and used the App to boot into Recovery mode.
Now from there on my Problem begins. The Samsung Logo appears then the phone boots into Recovery but only for roughly 1 second.
The only thing i can see is the circle with a hat in the middle (the logo) and the cwm version on the bottom before the phone shuts down and everything starts again...its kind of a bootloop only going into recovery mode for 1 second and then starting a new.
Which mena si CANT use recovery Mode and i ALSO cant get into Download Mode somehow... ive tried holding the Volume down button and Home button and everything but i cant get the phone into download Mode so yeah phone is stuck in that Bootloop which i explained above.
Do u guys think that a Usb Jig from Amazon would actually work getting the Phone into Download Mode? or is it a lost cause and i should start looking for a new phone? ^^
i would appreciate any answers a lot !
No one who can help? :/

Try to use adb to boot to recovery/dowload mode if not use usb jig.

well if i try adb the device isnt shown as connected because well the phone restarts every 2-3 seconds.
If there is still any other way wich it could work without a usb jig that would be awesome
ive found a thread over google which said something about sp tools and scatter files....looked like it was possible to change the files of the phone while it was shut down....Does somebody on here know if this is possible?
push
a friend gave me this phone because they couldnt get it to go passed the 4glte splash logo, and i know a lil about this stuff so they figured if i can get it to work i can keep it whatever....
anyway, I just cant seem to catch a break, ive chased threads of all different forums high and low......
Im wondering if anybody can point me out on a successful route to take, with the following info:
So regular boot, sometimes stays on LG logo, sometimes gets to the blue 4glte splash, and than just loads the first part of that logo on repeat.
I cant boot into RECOVERY, at ALL.
HARD RESET makes it all the way to selecting yes and than telling me RESET IN PROGRESS....but still nothing happens after 30Min+
DOWNLOAD MODE is accessable but I feel like whoever had phone lasted was installing some crappy roms and such because its not the original download mode for this phone, it says DOWNLOAD MODE, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUM UP UNTIL YOU ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE. .... Yes it says VOLUM, I dont see LG making that error...and plus i should alrdy be in download mode at that point....but of course holding it longer stil doesnt work.
So here I am , NO RESET, NO RECOVERY, NO DOWNLOAD, NOT EVEN SURE IF PHONE IS ROOTED, I THINK IF ANYTHING IT WAS A UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT BY SOMEONE , NOT SURE IF USB DEBUGGING IS ON..... CANT GET PHONE FAR ENOUGH BOOTED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ANY PC USB RECOGNIZE IT, THEREFORE I CANT ATTACH TO PC AND DO ANYTHING , IT NEVER SHOWS UP ON DEVICE LISTS....
So that being said.... is there anybody that might be able to point me out to a thread, or lend me some knowledge?
Thanks if youve read this whole post ! I appriciate your time!
