Attempting to install a new ROM, so wiped all data, did a restore to factory settings and wiped Dalvik Cache. Realised new ROM wasn't on memory card, so tried to boot up, and it just keeps showing the (stock) boot animation.
Can access recovery (CWM 5.0.2.6), so what is the best way to get my phone back up and running?
flash new rom using cwm.
or, if u could enter to download mode. flash stock using odin
Thanks, managed to get a ROM and installed it, and is working!
try to read Q&A thread for future reference.
helps alot. really.. no.. seriously..

Ok so I'm fairly new to the rooting scene, and these forums, but so far everything has been pretty good, except for one small problem. I installed a custom boot logo, and afterwards my phone was lagging a bit. I contacted the boot logo programmer, with no response, so I decided to wipe my system and use the backup from right before I installed the custom boot logo. Unfortunately, the boot logo has not changed, and my phone 'fails' whenever I try to flash something from Odin. Anyone know what to do in this situation.
If you want to do a full wipe of you device,cos it sounds like tha boot logo is corrupt,then boot to recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.then go to "storage and mounts" and format system,data and cache.Select "Go Back" and factory reset your phone and reboot.If it doesnt go past the boot logo after 1min then pull the battery,put it back in and turn it back on.Its a pain in the arse but it will completely clean up your device and if you where rooted you will need to probably reroot but berfore hand plug in your phone to your PC so it gets recognized again.
EDIT:Just incase,first of all download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps!!!!

You need to wipe usb storage, sd card, then put phone in download mode, flash stock ROM using Odin. You need to fully wipe everything.

I've trying reflashing the stock ROM and kernel; however, it gives me a FAIL and says can't open the serial (COM) port.
I have solved the problem by closing Samsung Kies and wiping the system, thanks for all the help offered.
Resolved - when after many attempts to boot into recovery I gave up and downloaded the Odin version of CWM and was trying to go into boot mode I accidentally managed to go into recovery and was able to recover. I think I will stay away from goo manager or rom manager - neither worked for me. Never had problems just following posted steps on XDA.
I decided to take the plunge and flash my first rom and now my phone is stuck on the CM9 boot loop. I had rooted with CMW through odin followed by superuser. I was on stock ics. I replaced cwm with twrp. No problems up to this point I then downloaded cm9 and the gaaps with goo manager. then tried to flash it after backing up, deleting data, dalvik and cache. It did not work but instead booted back into stock with all my data gone. I added back in my google accounts and wifi password. Then downloaded quick boot. Booted into recovery and installed the CM9 and fgaaps zips.
Now it just cycles in the cynagen bootloop ans will not boot into recovery. In my attempts to get boot recovery started it did once go into download mode. Anyway to recover using odin?
So you are up and running okay ??....g
Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!
I installed a bunch of root apps that ended up putting my phone into a bootloop. I had superuser on it with Titanium backup, and I was able to undo the loop. I am now just stuck on the screen with the triangle after attempting to put a stock ROM on the phone. Its an Epic 4G touch, Im able to get into Recovery and Odin mode. Ive wiped all partitions, dalvik cache, etc. Still stuck. How can I get back into my phone?

Did you install twrp or cwm? Sounds like you wiped the system off and need to install a rom now thru recovery after you put it on your sd card. Dont wipe your sd card. Fallow the steps to install a rom.
i had also face same problem
the i had flashed costom rom and kernal
and also my old backup then also
there is no result
only the in bootloop and open only cwm recovery only
then i had flash custom recovery
it works and my files and app are safe.
Been using twrp since rooting note II. I wanted to try out 4.4 PA but they said to only use cwm. It was late so I decided to be lazy and since I used to use rom manager all the time I installed it to flash cwm recovery then booted into recovery to install touch version. It wasn't showing the touch version so selected to restart to check to see where I saved it to it would not boot past the first "note II" splash screen. Battery pull then back into recovery and went ahead and flashed PA 4.4 and now it will get past the splash screen then shows boot animation but then starts all over.
Is this a rom manager issue?
can I flash twrp from within cwm recovery?
will I have to basically reroot it?
Any suggestions on how to get back to twrp and to a usable phone?
thanks
If you download a .zip of twrp and flash it you will have twrp for your recovery.
As long as you flash a rooted rom, you will be rooted.
Not sure what happened with the boot loop, did you by chance wipe the system without flashing another before booting?

Nope did my standard wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and factory reset then flashed rom then gapps. Going to go back to twrp and wait for 4.4 to be more stable before I try it out again and maybe then I can use twrp to flash it.
thanks for the help

Have you wiped data at all? You need to wipe data / factory reset when switching roms, and it sounds like you havent.

As stated above, on both cwm and twrp I wiped caches and did factory reset and still having the issues. Once back on twrp I even formatted internal memory thinking maybe rom manager messed something up on it and still can't get passed the splash screen.

Copy a ROM to your SD card (external not internal)
Install cwm and format data (actually full format, where /data/media gets wiped) and system
Install rom
Reboot
TWRP has some issues randomly with corrupting /data, that's why I no longer use it.

Finally got it. Thought using odin to flash back to root 66 and start fresh would work but after that it was still going to the splash screen then black and a battery pull had to be done. TWRP back ups would fail when trying to restore, so I reverted back to an older version of twrp and it finally let a back up be installed and it booted up just fine!!
thanks for all the suggestions
Im having a similar problem to yours, I am using twrp and flashed PA 3.99 the phone works great, but if my battery dies or i restart the phone or shut it down it automatically wont get passed the samsung logo, or sometimes the PA logo, the only work arounds ive seen to it is to wipe the cache and dalvik to boot, but when that fails i have to install the whole rom over again. any ideas?
