I tried to flash a newer baseband using Odin but the phone is now stuck in a bootloop. If I try to flash CWM with Odin it just seems to grind on & on (30 mins now) without making any progress. Can anyone help? Thanks.
OK, some progress - ClockworkMod-Galaxy5-v0.6 appeared to be the problem. Have successfully flashed ClockworkMod-Galaxy5-v0.5. Still in a bootloop but will try flashing CM7.1.
EDIT - now booting into CM7.1 OK. Moral of this story - avoid CWM v6 at the moment!

Well, this is what happened.
My phone was using cMiui 4.1.2 with the default kernel, and this morning I tried to flash CM7. I wiped everything as always before flashing, after I pushed reboot system and it got stuck in the "Galaxy s2" screen and keeps turning on and off endlessly.
I pulled out the battery, try to get back into recovery, but it hadn't been a successful attempt.
I stayed claim and flash back to stock 4.0.4 via Odin, god-bless I made it through.
I installed a custom kernel and flash to CM9 for temporarily use. Now I don't know what to do.
I really want to try the taste of CM7, please help.
Edit: I also tried various way of flashing, such as flash a codeworkx kernel before flashing, and flash back into GB 2.3.5 before flashing CM7, both didn't work out
it was making me crazy for weeks and here is the solution i found 5 minutes ago :
when it gets bootloop
go to download mod and flash siyah 2.6.14 via odin!
then it boots.

Happened to me because i tried an upgrade of a CM unofficial without update the recovery
The solution is "easy": download a stock rom from samfirmware, flash it with ODIN (google: flash stock rom with odin) and your phone come back to life. After that make sure to update the Recovery (suggest Philz), add the zip file of the rom and flash it ...of course,don't flash the last rom that cause this
THE NEXT TIME, before flashing a NIGHTLY CM rom ,do a NANDROID Backup!!
Hello
I recently recieved my sisters old galaxy s2 after it had been water damaged and the only problem was the power button not functioning.
I wanted to flash a stock 4.1.2 rom via odin and since this was my first time flashing an S2 I followed a tutorial showing me how to flash a stock rom.
Everything went well during the flash but after it completed it bootlooped forever and ever. I tried flashing the same ROM again and the same bootloop. I also tried other ROMs and nothing worked. People have fixed their odin bootloops by entering recovery and wiping everything but I just don't know how to enter recovery without a power button.
Any suggestions?

does anybody have any other ideas that i could try.
Thanks in advance guys.

You flashed stock firmware with Odin, was the flash successful ?
If you need to use recovery, flash TWRP or Philz, CWM is not updated anymore
Try flashing one of the firmwares in this thread.
yeah as far as odin was concerned the flash was successful and set the phone to reboot, but it still just hung at the samsung logo, and right ok im a bit out dated using cwm then it's been a while :Lthanks for the links i'll give it another crack now
thanks again

i've tried flashing CM and MIUI using the two recoveries you linked, still no joy. The download links for the firmware doesn't work but i found an equivalent that also has bootloader, csc files etc and still no joy, odin does it's business and says in green pass at the end of it all but it still hangs on the samsung logo, even when i installed miui, it would install all as planned, but then on the reboot it just hangs at the MIUI logo.
i'm lost completely i've never been defeated by a phone :L
So my G925F got bricked recently by updating the phone to 5.1.1 UK BTU firmware (G925FXXU2BOFJ) and the phone would not boot up. It was stuck on the boot logo. I did hours of research and finally managed to get it working by flashing Unibase Kernel.
Now the problem I am facing is that I want the phone back to 100% stock. Even unrooting the phone won't work because Unibase will reinstall SuperUser during restart. If I reinstall 5.1.1 using Odin it will hang on boot logo until I flash it with a custom Kernel, in my case Unibase did the trick.
Ive also flashed the phone using Samsung SmartSwitch with original firmware it still fails to boot until its flashed thereafter with a custom Kernel (UniBase)
Ive also tried the solution of removing hidden.img from firmware then repacking and flashing it, still seems to be the same problem (hanging on boot logo) Ive also tried to hard reset phone after flashing and yet its still faces the same problem. Is there a stock Kernel or any other solution anyone may know?
All help is appreciated and I will be happy to try any solution or method posted. Cheers
flash stock firmware with odin but uncheck auto-reboot. Once its done boot into recovery, clear cache, factory reset and it should boot
Please check and try this

Thanks guys, Ive tried both of your solutions, unfortunately the problem still exists. The phone will hang on
"Powered by Android" boot logo until I flash it with a custom Kernel. Weird problem
Ive checked, its definitely the boot.img causing the problem. Unibase flashes modified boot.img which turns the phone on

Out of interest, why do you need to return it to 100% stock?
