I tried flashing CM9 Nightly without doing anything else before flashing on CWM 5.5 something like a dork and now my tablet wont get off the bootscreen. I tried restoring a backup from around Febuary and it wont even charge on it's original wall charger: I turn it on, shows a red battery and shuts off. Wat do? BTW it was rooted through the ASUS app. I think I sound pretty f'd. My only real thought would be flashing something else through the MicroSD slot, if I could boot into recovery. Wat do?
UPDATE: I fixed it.
UPDATE!
Got it back into CWM. Please halp.
NVM Fixd, yo.
how did you fix?
Please share.....it might help some one like myself in the future.....
Thanks

I got some problems with my gt i9100.. So i flashed the CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OJV_KF1-v4.0-CWM4 on my phone and then everything went wrong.. I tried everything there is but the only thing I can flash is kernels.. When I try to flash a firmware or a rom odin fails (Can't seem to write on NAND). Also I can't access recovery.. I just get the samsung logo with the triangle below. And now after 2 days of constant trying different methods im low on battery and can't access download mode and if I plug in the charger it keeps flashing an empty battery with a circle in it with a 1 min interval.. Can someone please provide me with some advice?
What exactly did you do? Or you really screwed up which is almost impossible or you just have had bad luck.
Did you try pulling the battery out, pressing the on button for a few seconds and then putting your battery back in? Sometimes it helps when you have charging problems.
So try and give us more information about everything that you did.

Tried that with the battery but it didn't help.. Ever since I flashed the kernel it wouldn't charge.. Jje there's nothing on this thread that could help me with the charging problem and besides that I can't access recovery and can't seem to find villain 1.1 anywhere..
Hi, I believe my MoPho is bricked and was just trying to see if there were any recovery methods so that I would not have to send it off and lose files I had stored on my internal SD card. My problems started after I left my phone on the charger. I came back to see that it was stuck on the bootloader screen and wouldn't go any further. I was running j0kersax's MIUI ICS build and hadn't had any trouble with the rom prior to this. I've tried entering fastboot, rsd, and android recovery through the vol down+power method, but when I do it always freezes; either while I am scrolling the menus or waiting for it to boot into one of the aforementioned modes. At one point I was able to get to fastboot, but when I attempted to enter it, an error message came up saying something like "the battery is too low to flash", so I attempted to charge it. However whenever I plug it into the A/C adapter it simply starts up and stays on the boot loader. So is it possible to recover or is my photon a vegetable now?
Maybe you should SPF back to stock. You can find the release keys anywhere. This video is helpful: :victory:

thanks for the suggestion, but I can't even get the battery to charge so that I can even attempt to do this. I've accepted the brick and I'm just going to go to Best Buy and order a replacement. Thanks again.
I have the exact same problem as OP. Right now, my battery is dead, so I can't flash anything to help fix my problem. My theory on how to get this working again is to charge the battery or borrow someone elses battery so there's enough charge.
Anybody think that'll work?

I've tried a battery swap and now it won't even power on. I've yet to order a replacement, so for now I'm on an Evo.
I am kind of having the same issue I tried to flash CM10 just a few moments ago and it wont flash!?
I have flashed CM7 to my Electrify before and was trying to flash over that. Now my battery is dead, I can't boot the phone at all.
What do I do!
Hey there. I took a loan of my mums phone but I needed to unlock it so I went to root it.
I got Odin and it passed fine, and when I went to reboot, it said it was downloading and not to turn off. But it went on for ages so I presumed it froze so I turned the phone off and back on.
Now the phone wont turn on.
When turned off it charges fine, the charging symbol comes up and all but when I turn it on the screen goes black and nothing happens.
It's connected to USB and sounds like it gets picked up but I can't see it in my computer.
Can anybody help me and tell me how to fix this? I want to fix it before I have to give it back to her.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT
BTW I can still get into the CWM I think its called recovery menu. I'm pretty sure the phone was rooted, it just wont start up correctly.
I tried wiping dalvik cache, restoring to factory settings and fixing permissions, nothing fixed the issue however
This is the tutorial I followed: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-jelly-bean-android-4-1-14-1-2/
I'm guessing since I can access recovery and download modes it's not that bad, I just need to install something else some how? Any ideas?
Restore any back up ..hope you have one..
GT I9100
Neat Rom lite v4.4
Hirox 5.1 medium
hope it helps

once again.. if it your first rooting process then you need to unlock the bootloader.. use CF-root by chainfire..
Not quite. The bootloader on the SGS2 isn't locked.
You need a rooted kernel which has busybox & SU. CFRoot does, but you can also flash the Odin version of any custom kernel which works with the Android version of the stock rom you're running to achieve the same result, I.E a rooted phone.
Man...that's 2 threads I've read in the last 5 minutes where people are having problems with their phones after following advice from Galaxys2root.com.....is it coincidence?

Hey Guys, im desperate..
two days ago i charged my phone overnight as i normally do. Woke up and it was in SOD, which happens all the time (agni kernal, no fix yet).. Pulled the battery, but phone wouldnt boot. Turns out, it freezes during booting resulting in what appears to be a frozen boot loop.
Then i tried to plug it into my recharger, and it was showing a grey battery icon and was frozen on that screen always, the screen doesnt turn off, the battery icon isn't showing that its charging. doesnt change, just shows the same empty battery grey icon with the refresh circle-arrow in the middle.
I tried taking the battery out leaving it out for 5 minutes, draining the battery from the phone by holding the power button for 10 seconds, then trying to charge the phone. Same issue, only showing the grey battery icon when trying to charge and it never changes or goes away.
SO i tried to boot up the phone, but it wont go past the samsung text logo.
I tried entering recovery, but it just freezes on the samsung text logo.
I can not enter download mode either. So ihave no way to run odin from what i can tell.
Im losing my mind here, ive tried almost everything i can think of. And would really appreciate any help on this. It feels like a hard core brick.. I LIVE on my phone due to work and im losing money every day i dont have it. DESPERATELY need this. HELP!!
DatacomGuy,
A usb jig will probably be able to force the phone into download mode again so you can restore it with Odin. If you're up to it, you can do a Google search to get instructions on how to make your own.... or you can buy one online pretty cheap. Here's one on eBay (USB JIG) that looks good with good feedback from the seller.
Thank you.. Ill order one today and report back.
What could have gone wrong you guys think? How did the phone just do this?
I guess no way to get my pics off huh?
I hope the jig will work for you so you can restore the phone back to stock 4.1.2 and start over fresh.
I'm not sure what would have caused the phone to have started boot looping like that. My guess would be that something got corrupted.
There's a thread in the general section on how to Odin flash the stock recovery onto the phone so you can wipe cache and do a factory reset.... (EDIT: Click here to go to the thread) . This is a long shot, but if you can get the phone back into download mode with the jig, you could try installing the stock recovery and just wiping cache without doing the factory reset... then see if you can get the phone to boot up so you can recover stuff off of it.
As far as the pictures go, they may have been saved to the external sd card. You could pop the sd card into another phone if you've got another functioning phone laying around... or use a sd card adapter to mount it straight onto your computer so you can check.
The jig did the trick.. thank god..
The flashing stock recovery did not work. I ended up going back to stock firmware.. 4.1.2 i think..
Thank God i have this back.. Thanks SO much for your help.

Then booted to twrp flashed fed patcher then tried to boot to system tablet had 2-3 bootloop and then it shuts down and. Since then nothing is working not even shows the charging screen
Tried everything not able to boot to bootloader
Tablet doesnt even start not even the screen

Maybe your battery died.
Try changing it for a while.
Then try again

Tried that but no luck kept on charging for like 2 hrs but nothing
It happened the same thing with mine, please let me know if you can find a way to fix it.
I think I figured out our problem, it's stuck on APX mode. But I'm a android dummie and I have no idea how to solve it :/
