Phone not restarting after applying UOT zip file - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there!
I was on XILA2 firmware on my Galaxy S II phone. Cooked this file in the UOT Kitchen. Applied the UOT.zip file in the Recovery mode. But the problem is that the phone is not restarting after that either from the Recovery mode or from the Power button. It gets stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S II GT-9100" screen. Does not move forward after that screen.
What to do now? How to complete the reboot process? I faced this problem earlier also with Other ROMs, but the phone used to restart after giving it 4-5 tries (from the Power Button). But this time, it is not restarting at all after applying the UOT zip. Have tried two dozen times. Pls help.

1) Make a factory reset in CWM and also format data/system/cache (in mount and storage)... Then flash again.
2) If also doesn't work, search for a flashable kernel for Odin (f.ex. Any firmware), flash it then root again and try an other rom or kitchen .zip
CHEERS ;-)

Dear Hannibal, thanks for taking the time to reply. I didn't do factory reset in CWM coz I did not want to lose my apps and data. I simply flashed the XILA2 Rom again, and it did the trick. Now trying to root and will try another UOT file again. Let's see if it works this time

You need to wipe cache and dalvik cache after applying a uot kitchen zip or it will boot loop.

Nope, did not wipe cache and dalvik cache and it did not go into boot loop. Everything works smooth after flashing XILA2. BUT, it does not restart after flashing the UOT.zip through recovery mode. The screen freezes. Tried it twice.
So to conclude, this means that the UOT Kitchen people will have to do some work to make their files compatible with the latest ROMs like XILA2. I think the kitchen Chefs have fallen behind the times.

Try clearing caches like post before said BUT if even this don't work u can't get around to make a factory reset.
That's why always safe data before flash!

No, I did not. Why do I need to wipe cache & dalvik cache after flashing the UOT zip?? The phone is NOT REBOOTING after flashing the UOT zip file. Don't you get it. The UOT zip file is obviously not compatible with XILA2. XILA2 works fine without the UOT mods.

Oh what u can try is one think (without loosing data, maybe some settings like ringtone etc):
Only format system in mount and storage and then flash the LA2 again. If the mods just modded system setting it should work

I get it, you dont seem to be, the phone wont boot after you flash the UOT zip, for it to boot you need to wipe the cache and dalvik cache, you wont lose data.
The UOT mods can cause incomparability between the changed framework and whats in the cache.

Well, you are asking me to do a wipe of the cache & dalvik cache using Recovery Mode after flashing the UOT zip. Ok I wil try that, BUT I have flashed UOT zips and ROMS dozens of times before successfully and NEVER needed to do this. All I did previously was to flash the UOT zip, choose the option of Reboot system from the recovery mode, and everything used to work.
And now I have flashed XILA2 ROM thrice so far and a new problem has started. The phone is in Flight mode and I cannot open the option of Mobile Networks in Settings. It asks me to insert a SIM card even when the SIM card is already there. So now forget about the UOT mod, I am not even getting a Network signal.

GSG2 freeze on startupscreen after flashing rom

Hi,
I wanted to flash a new rom (Pure AOKP v2.0 Spike 6)
Had ICS Litening rom before.
I copied the zip file on my external SD
made wipe data/factory reset
wipe chace
and wipe dalvik
then installed from zip file.
But when rebooting the S2 freezes on the first bootscreen with the yellow triangle. I forgot to turn on debugging mode bevore wiping. Is that the prob?
What can I do now? Tryed also another rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1460702)
Installation successfull but always freeze after reboot.
Default procedure if you can't get past a bootloop/etc. - flash a stock ROM and try again. Additionally, check the links in my signature.

[Q] HELP: Omega 9.1 boots into CWM

I'd really appreciate some help guys, I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find answers.
I had Cyanogen Mod 9 rooted on my phone, however, I decided to install Omega instead, I installed it but I can't get on it! Everytime I install zip and reboot, it goes back to CWM Recovery!
The procedure was:
-deleted all files in internal SD
-Reboot into CWM Recovery
-Wipe data,cache,dalvik
-install zip from sd card
and now im stuck
Please help, and apologies if any noob mistakes were made

You'll lose all your data but do a factory reset and wipe your system in addition to what you've already done and re flash the rom. FYI always have a nandroid backup around before flashing. It's time consuming but saves you a lot of grief in the long run

Factory reset(wipe) is an option in cwm(3rd from above) wipe and reflash the rom and let it boot,this can take 10min
1st check md5 .. it will show u wether its bad download or nt ... and then do this
go into cwm and to wipe data\factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik and insll rom ..
omega 10 is up so better try omega 10 as its new rom :

Factory reset is on the main Cwm screen. You can wipe system through the 'mounts and storage' option

How would put it into my internal SD if I can't transfer the file because I can only boot into Recovery or Download mode? Do I just Odin it straight in via the PDA option?
If you connect your phone with the PC while in recovery you should be able to use adb commands
Put the rom file into the adb folder than try
Code:
adb devices
now you should see any cryptic combination of letters and numbers in the next row
(if you see a empty row... that wouldn't be nice^^)
then do:
Code:
adb push yourromfile.zip /sdcard/yourromfile.zip
than try flashing again the new file
dont forget to do a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, the common procedure^^
PS:
If you don't know about adb, it is installed with the android sdk, but you can download it seperately
place the ADB folder somewhere on you system hd, maybe directly to C:\
the open cmd and type
cd C:\ADB\
now you're able to use the above commands
You can put it on an external sd and flash it from there...

[Q] [SGS3]Stuck at Samgun Logo. All options have been expended, Desperately need help

Okay, So.. As the title says, i have googled for DAYS, Tried every damn thing i could get my hands on..
Now.
So far, im able to get into download mode, and also into recovery mode, I've tried doing a factory reset, and then flashing a stock rom, and i've tried every concevable method of fixing this damned phone, Its driving me crazy, I flash a new rom with odin, phone reboots, (adds to count) and is STILL stuck at that ****ty flashing samsung logo..
I'd really appreciate ANY help i can get, And i AM a noob at this, So i dont FULLY understand EVERY detail of this, But i've read around enough to know a few things.
My SGS3 has been out of commision for longer than i've actually used it.. So.. Yeah, Getting quite desperate!
Please let me know if there are any particular details yyou need!
Hi,
Your problem is EFS.IMG
Please clear it. Use Odin3 for that.
Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, after you've flashed your ROM.
I had your problem some weeks ago,I finally managed to get arround this after I deleted the dalvik cache and flashed stock rom trough odin,and worked like a charm :good:
try this first before thinking of efs errors!

Cam't really help you with the EFS, but:
-bootloops are often fixed by installing rom then wiping data+cache from recovery as others said
-the dalvik cache can be wiped in the recovery, you can find "wipe dalvik cache" under the advanced submenu

Im in recovery mode right now (Vol UP+ Home + Power)? And i dont see an 'Advanced' menu option;
Options i DO have: reboot system now; apply update from ADB; apply update from external storage; wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache parition;
apply update from cache..
Any ideas?
These options are only available in a custom recovery.
Just try wipe --> flash stock room --> wipe

i just want to clarify... when you say 'flash STOCK rom' Do you mean i need to get a rom for a SGS3 VAU (Vodafone Asutralia) and flash that (go to odin, put it in PDA, etc)
and if THAT is the case.. Where would i get said rom, Because i've downloaded it from sammy firmware 4 times, each time it finishes the download without a hitch, when i go to extract the zip to get the needed files, it says its corrupted or some such BS..
Go to Sam mobile and download the firmware mate.
You will end up with a tar md5 file you flash using PDA section of Odin.
Good luck!

Kies is by far the easiest and safest way to factory reset. I have had to use it about 3 times in the past 6 months because I have flashed something I shouldn't have. Plus Kies now has a lite mode that is quicker at flashing your phone back to stock firmware.

Thanks everyone!

There are a few possibilities of what could have happened. The most possible one that I can think of is that you did not Wipe Data/factory rest before flashing your rom. When updating to a new rom, it is most of the time necessary to choose wipe data/factory reset from the recovery before flashing. So what you do now is: 1.Boot into recovery. 2. choose the wipe data/factory reset option(U will loose all ur apps that u have downloaded, your photos music and videos should remain intact tho) 3. Flash your ROM again.
Hope that helps
thank you

Go to recovery and in advanced wipe your dalvik cache... Then wipe your data and cache and reboot. I hope dis will solve your problem..

so what i did ..
1. wipe dalvik
2. wipe data - reset factory
3. wipe cache
4. install (The MOD zip file)
5. reboot
and after rebooting .. still the same problem .. there is no system ... only the (SAMSUNG LOGO)
What mod did you flash. Most work just by flashing mod then reboot. I've never had to wipe anything when flashing a mod in neat ROM. Do you have other mods installed that could conflict with the mod you was flashing? Try clean install of ROM . full format of system data and cache then flash neat rom and try again. All mods are tested well and work.

XWLPY_S3_Mods_v1.3
XWLSW_Blue_Ginger_Plus_Theme
LSW_churapa_SGS4_Stock_23Toggles_VR_BTK
and they didnt work ..
Go with just plain neat ROM lite. Then try them mods.also do mix bases . if you have say neatrom lite lsw flash lsw mods.
^^^I guess that was meant to say "don't mix bases" no lsw mods on lsn etc
