Hi guys I received a Refurbed phone today and unlocked my phone. I have tried both Tenfars and the RomManager version of recovery on my phone. When I boot up my phone says Unlocked and if I choose to I can enter fastboot or recovery without issue. The problem comes when I try to flash a rom.
After doing the standard Factory reset, wipe cache wipe dalvik, I reboot and then get stuck on the Dual core screen. I have waited more than five minutes on this screen with no luck. Any suggestions?
I have tried both Aura and Darkside in the same manner as described above.
Thanks much!
You may NOT wipe Factory Reset after flashing a rom... maybe its that the problem...
1.- Wipe Data/Factory
2.- Wipe Cache
3.- Flash your desired ROM
4.- Reboot
Try it in that order...

Yeah I always do all of the wipes before the rom... It ended up being fixed by reflashing RomRacers recovery. Thanks

I was unlocked and rooted, but still on the stock rom.
I finally got around to installing the Alien rom and I was greeted with this message after install.
When I go to update it force closes. Its showing 3.0-beta2 as the latest version but force closes when it goes to check installed version.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you havent already done this....
Go into rom manager and run fix permissions. This can be done with Romracers CWM as well. Give that a shot and try it again.
Edit: Also did you do the full wipe routine before and after the alien rom install? Even though the ROM says its a full wipe, still do it manually before and after.
Hmm, I hadn't opened up ROM manager since this change.
It says "You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su"
As far as the wipe, I did the full wipe prior, but wasn't aware of needing to do it after. So I need to wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache Partition again?
EDIT: And of course, I can't get into Recovery Mode either. If I try to root my phone again, it says the file all ready exists?
Yes, something didnt take.
1 Wipe data/factory reset
2 Wipe cache
3 Wipe Dalvik
4 Install ROM
5 Wipe data/factory reset
6 Wipe Cache
7 Wipe Dalvik
8 Reboot
So if you reboot holding down on the volume and go into recovery it doesnt do anything?
what recovery did you use to install Alien initially? Romracers,

All right, I appreciate it. But maybe a stupid question, but since I can't get into recovery mode how do I go about doing this?
EDIT: Sorry, you got me on the edit. I wasn't thinking to go through recovery via the volume key. I was trying to go through the system recovery app. As far as which recovery I used Tenfar's Bootstrap, which reading looks like I probably shouldn't have. Thanks for your help, hopefully this will cure everything.
You are going to have to use fastboot and flash the recovery image again.

Ya once we got our bootloaders unlocked Tenfars CWM became obsolete. Just pick your favorite color from the link i posted and flash with fastboot.
Thats why you got an error, tenfars wont properly flash a rom.
Just follow that wipe routine after every rom you flash. Before and after flash
Hello guys,
Just got my new I9100 yesterday.
Phone Specs:
PDA: I9100XWKL1
Phone : I9100DDKL1
CSC: I9100DDKL1
I flashed CF Root I9100XWKL1 and rooted my phone. Later I downloaded official MIUI and flashed it via CWM Recovery. Wiped cache and Dalvik cache. Now the phone is stuck at MI logo. I just hear the galaxy sII startup tone and the phone shows logo and does not moves ahead. What to do now guys? Have I went somewhere wrong?? Guide me
Try reflashing the rom without any wipe.
Or boot into recovery if you can & do a wipe/factory reset.

Done. Booted now after factory reset Thanks
As strange as this may sound, I usually wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the ROM...I had similar issues with CM7 when I wiped cache and dalvik after install. Enter recovery again, wipe cache and dalvik and flash ZIP, then reboot and see...
Otherwise, the only other possible explaination is that the first bootup does take some time...but usually never pauses or stops the animation.

Hmmm that's not very strange. Also I was considering that first boot will take time as dalvik cache is prepared and then system gets running. But the wait time was abnormal in first case.

Hello All,
I've searched around and wasn't able to find anything that helped. I had the leaked ics rom on the phone (with no root and stock recovery) which worked fine for several months, then the other day the phone crashed and now it only boots to the white Rogers screen. I've tried a physical battery pull and still nothing. I've also tried flashing a stock rogers flashboot and it does succeed but still doesn't make it past the white Rogers screen. I can still get to stock recovery and Flashboot mode but i can't seem to get it working.
I appreciate any advice to help me out. Thanks.
after you flash a stock with rsd enter in stock recovery and delete cache (and dalvik?), then reboot

Wait until battery 0% then boot up with Volume Down+ Volume Up, select AF Boot. Use RSD lite.

Only option I have is "wipe cache partition" and "wipe data/factory reset".
I've flashed stock and then wiped cache partition but I still can't boot past the white Rogers screen.

flash stock ICS Rom ftf with flashtool
Thanks for help
Thanks I managed to flash stock Gingerbread in the end.
In case anyone else has a similar problem here is a handy guide I found. (youtube.com/watch?v=hPPWRXcsz7g)
Where it says connect phone I found you need to connect it in fast boot (hold volume up button as you connect it) when the software is ready to flash un-plug phone then connect in flash mode (hold volume down button as you connect).

Flash stock firmware.
Install fastboot drivers.
Flash SlidingXU in cmd
Try out Zperience or TheBrainsRom following factory data reset, wiping cache and dalvik cache.
Hi,
Last night my I9300 decided to randomly reboot and get stuck in a bootloop. This morning I took the time to wipe my cache, data, etc. through CWM but it still would not boot. I did a wipe data/factory reset, wiped cache again and installed the latest AOKP nightly, but it still will not boot.
I can start the bootloader through CWM and I can also get into download mode, but it just won't boot Android.
ADB does list my device while in the bootloop, but I get a "device unauthorized" message.
I've had bootloops before and wiping cache/data/factory reset/installing a new rom always worked, but in this case I am clueless.
What can I do? Is there maybe a way to connect logcat without unauthorizing, or authorizing from CWM, or something?
Do you have the newest CWM?? Or try any other custom recovery
As above, use the latest recovery then manually format system, data, cache preload and data/media/0

How can I do this if I cannot authorize a ADB connection?
If yours recovery works flash the newest version
If not flash a stock ROM via Odin
dalvik cache

On Cwm click advance and try wiping dalvik cache if that doesn't work install your stock rom
