I am sure, this has been posted somewhere, but am new to this forum and cannot find it. please bear with me.
I installed CM7 on my Galaxy ace and tried to restore back to stock ROM. the restoration failed, the phone is now in a bootloop (the samsung logo flashes once every two seconds). I tried getting the phone into recovery mode but it does not get that far.
However, I am able to get the phone to download mode and tried loading the stock 2.3.3, 2.3.5 ROM via ODIN. Both times, ODIN passed the installation. but my phone has not improved. can anyone please help?
PS: consider me a beginner.

I wish I could do that. My phone does not get that far.. it restarts before that. Can I do this from the PC anyway?
Search clockwork mod recovery that has 205mg its flashable via odin

Flash it with odin choose it as pda
might say aint compatibile but flash anway
yeah. just tried that. I downloaded the file and chose that as PDA and flashed my phone with odin.. I am still getting the same problem. I guess, the warranty is void since I installed CM7.. so what to do now?
well before giving up you could just let it do its thing for like an hour and see what happens...

Wait from where did you downloaded firmware snd which version of odin did you used.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
the same happened to me also.
in the past i've flashed my ace with cm7 and wanted to go back to the stock rom.
flashed the stock rom with odin but the phone stuck in a boot loop.
if you have flashed stock rom with odin..
do this..
remove the phone batteries and let them out for a minute.
after that insert the battery again and goto the Recovery mode by holding the power and the home button.
once you are in recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery).
do a data/factory wipe.
a cache wipe
and a Dalvik Wipe.
and reboot the phone.
hope you phone boots normally.
Am using ODIN version 4.38.
downloaded the original CM7 version from this site ported by grif (Kooper Kang something).
When I had problems with that, I tried to revert to Stock rom 2.3.3 from sammobile.com
To answer other question, I am NOT able to go to the recovery menu. Hence cannot wipe cache, reset etc. The phone restarts before that. The only mode I am able to switch on is the Download mode. Even if I reload the ROM with ODIN showing a "PASSED" at the end of the process, my phone is still a brick.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
Seriously, I've seen this before. It can only be fixed by the service centre... flash the stock rom and take it in under warranty if you still have it.

Let me understand 100%....
If you have battery pulled and then cannot boot into recovery or download mode. Correct ?
But you can power on, but stuck on the boot screen. Correct ?
If this is both correct, maybe your boot partition is corrupted and without download mode or recovery the only hope is the USB jig to force it to boot into download mode and then you can flash official firmware with Odin.

BOTH right ,I can get into download or recovery mode when power on , but stuck on the boot screen. When I charge it , the battery logo isn't appear.
what should I do??
Please explain what exactly steps you were doing that lead to your situation. Maybe others will have another idea.
Try the USB jig to force your phone into download mode and flash firmware with Odin as previously suggested.
If the jig doesn't work. You're bricked and only a JTag or Samsung service center can now help.

I FLASHED the offical room found in firmware.COM ,after that , it reboot and get into the recovery mode itself.
Excellent, seems we misunderstood each other , otherwise you would not have been able to flash anything.
Now. Just flash root kernel (with cwm included) and you'll be good to flash your favorite rom.
Don't forget to full wipe before the rom flash (system.data.cache.dalvik) and you will be trouble free. First boot will take a while so be patient.

Last week I flashed LD3 for my Galaxy S2 i777. Today I was going to flash CM9. Every time I tried to boot into recovery it just started the phone.
I figured I could use mobile odin to flash a new kernel and it would fix it. Like an idiot I used a Gingerbread kernel on my phone running an ICS rom. So of course my phone froze on the "Galaxy S2" screen.
I couldn't boot into recovery and freaked out because I couldn't boot into dl either. I ordered a jig but kept fiddling in the meantime. I found that if I hook my phone to the USB, wait for the battery charging icon, take the battery out, then hold the down button it would boot into dl mode. Then I had to put the battery back in before I clicked continue or else it just reset.
Ok, so got into DL mode. I grabbed the stock rom and kernel from XDA site and flashed them with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 (can't post links yet).
The phone starts and setup mode begins. It shows the android figure and says click it. Now all kinds of errors pop up telling me different google services weren't working and force close. When you click the android figure it goes to setup wizard screen but nothing happens (except more android service errors).
Can someone help me out here? I've been at it 5 hours and searched this forum high and low. My thought is there are some ICS elements left behind in there it is trying to load, but I could be way off.
I still can't boot into recovery mode, just DL.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the stock rom and kernel?
I did not do a full wipe. How can I go about that without logging into recovery? I'm googling that now but if you have linkage I would appreciate it.

dont need to wipe when using Odin/Heimdall.
To OP:
there is only factory recovery, no CWM, you could always just flash a kernal from the DEV section, get CWM, flash CM9.
If I flash another kernel wouldn't I still have the same problem? I'll go ahead and give it a shot. Any you recommend for any reason or other?

So let me get the straight...you're on unrooted stock right now? If that's true, you should:
1. Do a factory reset from settings.
2. Use Odin to flash the Stock with Root package.
3. Use Mobile Odin to flash either Entropy's DD or Siyah.
4. Use CWM to flash what you want after that.

recovery is in kernal. If you flash a kernal from the DEV section you'll get CWM recovery, then you can flash your CM9 that you wanted, after a wipe data/factory reset.

Yes, but if he flashes said kernel with Odin, it'll trip his flash counter. I'm just telling him the safe way to do it, Mobile Odin.
I've already tripped my counter. I have a jig that will be here tomorrow so I can use it to reset the counter.
I can't use mobile odin because I can't log into my phone. I can only use desktop Odin.
All the files I am digging up look like .zip made for cwm. Could someone help guide me towards a kernel I can flash from desktop?

Either Entropy's DD or Siyah. You can open the zip and extract the zimage; the zimage is the kernel.

Flash the return to stock package from Odin again. Something must have gone wrong with it the first time.
well thats wierd. Sorry man but are you doing it right?
vol down and power. hold it untill the screen flashes twice.
I flashed stock 3 times now. I couldn't get into recovery before this (manually or with rom manager) and still can't. It starts like its going into recovery then just resets and loads normally.
Down is for dl mode, up is recovery.
I think the lack of ability to boot into recovery and the android service errors may be related.

Forget recovery. You shouldn't be worrying about recovery until after you get your phone booting.
New thought: maybe your download of the stock package is corrupted. Try to download it on your computer again. Download the one with root. If that fixes it, you can go use Mobile Odin to flash the Siyah kernel.
To get into recovery hold down both volume up, volume down, and power button and don't let go until recovery comes up.

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy Player 5.0 (US edition, capacitative buttons) and it decided to just stop booting one morning. I was running version 1.4 of this custom rom. I'm only able to enter download mode, and can't even get to the Samsung logo. After trying various methods and trying to flash different bootloaders/PIT files/ROMs with ODIN, I'm back to where I started.
Is there any set of bootloader/PIT/ROM files that I can use to flash with ODIN to get my Galaxy player up and running again? All of the older download links on this forum seem to be dead ends.
Thanks!
Hey. I was up to the point where my device was hard bricked. Wouldn't go into download mode. So. First: Get boot loaders. Those can be found in AdamOutlers thread of the UnBrickableMod somewhere in the dev forum here. Next, flash Entropy512's Kernal, make sure auto reboot is OFF and re partition is off too. For flashing both boot loader and kernal. Then flash a stock gingerbread rom. Then unplug, reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then you SHOULD be fine and booted into stock. Then download your rom again and re flash. Any trouble, let me know bud.

After finding the right stuff and flashing it (and making sure I had a pretty good charge in my player), I was able to get into recovery, wipe, and reboot into stock! Thanks! A couple of things I've noticed:
Battery indication doesn't work (even when I turn it off and charge; still thinks it's at zero battery all of the time)
Capacitative buttons work, but won't light up.
Would putting on a different ROM fix any of these issues?
Try to wipe battery stats in recovery and for buttons maybe rom you flashed was for international

This is what i did before it all.
I wanted to try out a custom ROM, so i installed SuperNexus.
Decided i did not like it that much, plus i did not get WIFI to work. Just wanted to try it out more or less.
So i wanted to reset it to STOCK rom again.
I followed this guide

And after ODIN was done, its just stuck at the boot logo.
Did i do something wrong? Is it broken?
I did not follow the steps to "reset the warranty" as i thought it would not be any problem.
As i was gonna keep on going rooted.
So i cant go back and get a new one...

Seems like a kernel related problem. Try to start the guide again or try to flash a kernel with Odin or CWM. Will probably boot after a successful installation!
No i did not do a wipe, wich i probably should have. Problem now is, i cant get back into CWM or am i doing a wrong step?
EDIT: I got into CWM, i did a full wipe. Reboot. Nothing still stuck. Also did try to reinstall a custom ROM and still stuck the the new shiny logo that came with it.

Try the Volume-Up (I think, might be down, one does recovery, the other does download mode, you want recovery) + Home Key + Power button on boot.
If that doesn't go into recovery, you should be able to still go to download mode and flash using Odin from your computer I imagine?
Yeah i read the wrong one when i searched around. I got in. Phone is fixed now =) It booted when i took full wipe AND clean the cache thing.
Thanks for the help!
Full wipe is usually helpful when it comes to stuck on boot situation,corrupted rom or not correctly flashed rom.
after u flash with odin
u should enter recovery
do a factory reset
and it will work
thats how the s3 updates work
i had that problem too and i fixed it
Nothing is working.
Nothing is working for me.
Same happened to me after I flashed stock BTU (UK) 4.0.4 ROM (LG8). It just sat at Samsung logo with slowly pulsing Notification light. I rebooted and same thing.
I went into recovery (turn off and then hold VolUp + Home button + Power and as soon as lil Android appears, let go. it should go into recovery) i selected Factory reset and then wipe cache and rebooted and it booted fine.
Thanks all. I'm an 'old hat' at flashing roms etc., but never had the phone hang on boot after a flash, and you really do get a horrible sinking feeling as you wait longer and longer for it to respond. definitely gonna remember this trick to boot to recovery and wipe.
Thanks again to all
hi, I have SGS-II I 9100. I was using root box 4 rom on my SGS-II with default kernel. All of a sudden day before yesterday the baseband and IMEI just vanished. Flashing the OEM rom seemed as solution. So I flashed the Android 4.1.2 India rom. It did flashed it successfully. The phone restarts and shows android logo and does something. When it restarts again it goes directly into recovery. I have tried with different versions but its still the same. Tried to flash Siyah kernel and Install custom rom. It still does that goes directly into CWM recovery screen. Can anyone help with this issue. I am clueless on how to fix it. Forgot to mention it does not reboot automatically. When clicked on reboot it shuts down. I then need to pull out the battery and get it back into it and then start the phone.

Thank-you for your reply. I flashed Stock i9100 from Sam firmwares. Gave a try to India, UK and italy edition. It does not go to CWM but rather goes into android recovery wizard. The screen where you see red triangle with android died or something. Its been more than a day and still cant find how to fix it. After flashing the stock firmware when i reboot my phone I get to a screen with android and status bar right at the bottom of it. Probably installs boot loader or something it the second screen once you reboot your phone after flashing the stock firmware. The next time you reboot you should be getting to OS right? But it takes me to recovery instead? What does it expect me to do in the recovery screen? I really don't know. I can access only 2 modes Download and recovery.
Here's the thing..3e recovery is the samsung default recovery mode whereas CWM is a customized one.
You either flash it via Odin or you flash a custom kernel via odin to get it.
Anyway, as long as you are NOT on 4.0.4 you can factory reset and wipe cache via stock recovery (3e).
Again, what did you flash exactly?
