Hi okay so my phone keeps booting to the samsung galaxy s2 screen (the black one in the start)..and then it just shuts off and then goes on again...
I just flashed a new rom. This has happened to me with some other roms too and i thought it was cuz of the rom but this is happening with mulitple roms.
before flash i wiped data/cache, wiped davlik cache
I don't know what hte problem is, but it just keeps looping to the starting black screen..
Please help me flash the batista ics rom!
Do a wipe AFTER you flash the ROM, not before. Good luck.

Alternatively to any other suggestions, see the thread that is stickied near the very top of the Q&A section called "[READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!".
yeah thanks,
not really useful though
can't get into recovery.
I can go into download mode but not recovery.
While i can flash another rom, I really want to flash the batista rom but i keep getting this problem. Is there something else that may be wrong thats not allowing me to install the rom on the phone?
No idea. And frankly, if you want to fix your phone, it's not important right now.
If you can only get into download mode & not recovery, the only way you're fixing this is with an Odin flash. You need to go back to stock, then try a fresh/clean install of whatever rom you were trying to install.

What I would suggest is to flash the J12 update through odin and see if that works. If that works, after boot up, go back and flash original rom back with odin and see if that helps. You should never click on repartition through odin because the instruction does not advise to do that when flashing a rom through odin. Hopefully you did not mess up your phone.
You probably need to follow 'eugenes froyo that doesn't brick' method. Do that first then odin to stock. Ind this should be posted in general or q&a

1) This should be in "Q & A" or at the very least "General".
2) What ROM were you using that you are flashing back from?
3) Did you have any "lag fixes" installed?

Make sure your flashing the stock JDF because the JI6 doesn't contain all of the files, and if that doesn't work flash the "froyo that does not brick rom" by eugene that is in the bible then flash the stock JFD rom

When it say wipe data it doesn't wipe the built in memory it just wipes the partition where the OS is installed. Make sure you don't have voodoo lag fixed installed or it will hang up every time, I have used this method about 6 times to unbrick and have never had an issue. I followed the instructions to the letter and it has worked perfectly every time, but I would need more info on what rom you are coming from and what lag fix or what you have installed if all fails try the above mentioned fix with froyo that does brick.

launch your phone into recovery mode and delete everything-cache and all user data. i reinstalled the packages and then rebooted the system. its working without any problems now.
Fixed it!
OK, i ran into this exact issue yesterday and fixed it. This is what I did.
First flash Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick with Odin.
Went through steps one and two. Don't worry about the sdk thing.
Now you should be in recovery mode. Pull the battery. Get back into download mode. Now flash, [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working). This got me out of trouble. I hope it works for you.
installing the froyo that dosent brick resolved my issue!
thank you for all your responses and help
Moved to Q&A
Anybody know where I can find this eugenes froyo that doesnt brick? Seems gino decided to remove the dl link for it n I checd his site but didnt c it, so im hoping theres like a mirror or maybe sum1 has it saved or something. Well anyway im able to flash the jk2froyo but it wont wipe data n then it wont let me dL any apps bcuz it says sorry not enough space.
It took some googling but I found it here
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8
Having problems with Odin, bah... trying to get my phone to work but always getting the "Data Write Failed" in red error.
EDIT: Haha nevermind got it to finally work after flashing Eugene's Froyo then stock JFD, guess I was using a different/wrong version of Eugene's Froyo haha damn I'm so relieved!!
I'm having a similar issue. Can someone give step by step instructions on how to fix this, please. I'm able to boot up, but then it give an error that says i have no space for apps. I check the application space and it just says 0.00 MB. Please help
Flashed CM9 to experiment with it and see how it ran, prior to doing so made a backup of current setup (unnamed 2.2.1 w/ siyah kernel). After flashing to CM9 and playing around a bit i was going to revert back to my original setup. Tried flashing back and now I am unable to even get to CWM Recovery, or Download Mode. It will boot to the SGS2 screen and then just go black no matter what I do. It is still recognized in Odin so I was thinking I'm going to have to revert back to stock and just flash it back afterwards. Any ideas before I proceed?

Flash back to stock. Strange - you say you can't get into download mode, but Odin recognizes it?
Ok, finally got into DL mode and flashed a stock kernel from Entropy's post. Now i'm faced with it booting to the ATT splash screen and it just loops that screen infinitely. I'm still unable to access recovery mode to wipe data/cache or anything like that. This is becoming frustrating and I'm not quite able to wrap my head around why after flashing stock that I'm unable to boot into the phone beyond the splash screen. Am I using the wrong stock fw or something? Here's the link to the one i used.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
From my experience it's the wrong SPL/radio combo.
No matter what I do, I'm stuck up to that point.....I've tried a few different stock flash packages through Odin to no avail, same result every time. I know i'm probably doing something wrong or I'm missing something here, its not bricked I do know that so its not like i'm dead in the water here. Any ideas would be better than where I'm at currently.

There is no SPL on the GSII, and a bad radio will only screw up calls/cell data.
To the OP - exactly how did you flash CM9? CWM or some kanged-up Odin build?
Through CWM, everything worked fine but when I was using CM9 my back button and serach button weren't working, probably erroneous to this situation. this is just messing me all up that I'm able to boot up til the splash and then it just loops it over and over, its making me think that the FW is having issues loading or something.
Problem solved finally. Something must have changed after this last flash attempt because now I was able to get into CWM of all things and recover my old backups. Nice little adventure that was. Thanks guys for the help!

Hi,
my tab was running great since month with CM9. 2-3 updates a week did not created any problems at all. Everything worked great.
Until i downloaded the
cm-9-20120617-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip
update. After applying that update & gapps, wipe cache my tab got stuck at the CID bootanimation. I left there for almost 30 minutes. Nothing happened. I had the update cm-9-201206-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip & gapps flashed it in CWM wipe cache still stuck at the CWM bootanimation.
Then flashed it again, wipe cache, wipe data factory, wipe dalvik cache same problem.
My last option was installing a stock rom via odin. At first it rebooted at the samsung logo then i flashed it again and i got lot of red error messages on the tab screen. I barely get it into download mode at all.
Which rom should i flash ??? I think i need flash the bootloader. I dont want to try it again and mess the tablet up at all.
Please advise and safe my tablet.
Are you developing ROMs or Kernels..............................NO.
Which section is this?????...........................................Android Development!!!!!
SO why do you start a Question-Thread in Android Development??????
Com on give the man a break and this is not your task but the mod's.
And he is a litle pist because his tab went dead so he likes a answer for his problem,and then you can easy make this mistake to post it in the wrong section.
Your problem did try to flash the stock rom with odin.
Be kind receive kind.
Regards
Does the stock ROM boot normally?
If not try to get the .pit for your device and then restore the partitions.
When everything works you should be able to flash again as you like.
I personally would recommend you to stay with CM9 nevertheless, it's the most stable ICS ROM I could find.
And don't flash the bootloader... if you've never flashed it before then there's no need to do so now.
sorry i thought since CM9 is getting developed i should post it here.
I would like to stay with CM9 but i do not have the tar file to flash it with odin.
I cant flash the stock. See the screenshot above with the error messages.
Which pit file should i use to flash the stock rom.
Questions go in the Q&A section

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've tried searching the forums and using different methods to recover it, but none have worked so far.
SO I flashed the ICS Domination theme over Diet ICS rom, stuff was continuously force closing, so I factory wiped with the intention of re-flashing just the rom... after a reset the phone was stuck on the samsung boot screen.
I've tried using Odin to load the stock Rogers rom, it says it worked, but trying to boot the phone up its stuck on the samsung boot screen.
Am I missing something? Is there anything you guys can suggest I try??
EDIT: Oops, wrong forum, meant to put this in the AT&T forum
Snap my phone is stuck on samsung screen for awhile now, it's not doing anything at all
Wipe everything in recovery and flash a rom from either recovery or odin..

Hi there,
im having an issue with my S2, i ran out on battery on my phone and when i tried to plug it in and boot normally it just syaed stuck on the screen where it has the yellow triangle, just to let you guys know this is the second time this has happen and to be honest i dont know what to do other then format which is what i had to do the last time because i couldnt figure this out.
Has this happen to anyone else?
What rom/kernel do you use? Did you wipe before installing these one? More details please
Using Neatrom 4.2 and im using the default kernel that comes with it. like i said this has happen to me before, and its the second time it happens.
Did you wipe data/cache and Dalvik-cache before flashing the ROM?
If not, then do it via Recovery and re-flash the firmware. Do NOT do it in 4.0.4 stock recovery!
Cheers.
How did you solve it the first time?
Tried another ROM to see if it happens then?
You want us to guess what's going on with your device?
If you read any thread about this kinda thing you'll notice that suggestions go from factory reset to claim warranty. Try all the things that are right in the middle.
Sent from the little guy
forget it, i just formated and put in the rom again.
Flash stock and see if it happens again.
Last time I checked, xda doesn't do magic.
