From your phone pad, dial *2767*3855#
This will data/factory reset your phone.
I don't even come that far... It starts up android, than I use my unlock pattern and from there off it's trouble... I can't do anything on my phone.
Just reflash. He's stopped developing it now, but was great. I made a video.

Just reflash...
I used odin and flashed it again. But still it doesn't startup.
I have the ressurection remix rom backed up, so If there is a possibility to get to that backup, then I can use that again and I can try it again to install pure look.

Did you do a full wipe before installing Pure Look S3.
If not reboot into recovery then:-
1 wipe data/factory rest
2 Advanced/wipe dalvik cache
3 Mounts and storage/ format data. format system.
4 reinstall pure rom s3
5 when booted up fully, dial *2767*3855#

Pure Look S3 is a custom rom zip file.
you cannot use Odin to flash it.
It has to be flashed via recovery.
try this:-
1 turn off phone.
2 press volume up/home button/power button at the same time.
3 you should enter recovery.. what recovery is it? 3e or CWM?
CWMR Touch v5.5.0.4
it works!!! Thanks a lot!!!

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.
Go here--->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
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
Hi everyone,
I've installed ICS domination theme on my SGS2 with litening rom 6.1 installed on it.
After the installation, i've got a boot loop with a strange pop up which is
" Select an action
----------------------------------------------
Select an application for the USB device."
So I've wiped user data from the CWM recovery and I tried to install back my insecure rom (litening rom) with odin and also the original one.
The phone reboot well but i still get the pop up and i can't do anything ...
Is there a way to format and start from scratch or a another solution to remove this pop up ?
PS: i don't mind losing all my data.
PS2: sorry for the picture's bad quality (i took from my webcam ...)

Thanks for the quick reply !
I said i don't mind (or care) about losing data.
I don't have the mount storage and any format system (otherwise i would have already tried it ) on CWM ... I only get :
-reboot system
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
My android system recovery is 3e version

I did everything I was supposed to do, first succesfully rooted the phone. Then I put the zip file with the rom into the sd card and then went into recovery mode, installed file from zip and it said success in install so I chose to reobot and now it hangs there... Any one can help me out? I'm scared...

A bit more details. What phone model? What were you trying to flash? Where does it hang, on the Samsung boot animation, or in the recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Galaxy s2 international (gt 19100). It hangs on the boot logo, which now is a yin yang with ics on it, I guess this is a NEAT thing. I can go into recovery mode, it just hangs if I try to boot normally.

The yin yang boot logo is actually the kernel. (Siyah)
You should probably try a factory reset/wipe data from recovery. This will alleviate 90% of boot loops and stuck on boot issues.
How do I do that?

You just said above you can boot to recovery... Once you are in recovery mode, can you not follow the recovery menu system to find the wipe data/factory reset option? It should be pretty straightforward.
I'm not running Siyah, so I don't know what the exact menu item is called in the recovery image that is in that kernel.
I tried that but it still does the same thing... any other tips?

Actually, let's take a couple steps back.
What model phone do you have? It's printed on the label under your battery.
it says model GT-i9100

Ok. Are you SURE you're doing a wipe data/factory reset when in recovery? If so, then I'd flash a stock firmware, full wipe again, then try the Neat ROM install again.

Find all you need to know here.
As an easy rule before installing any new ROM (that isn't an upgrade from a previous version ex. Cm10 builds or if otherwise stated ) wipe data , cache and dalvik cache , which is under advanced

Assuming my Galaxy Note II phone has been unlocked successfully, if I do a factory reset to upgrade to note2_JellyBeans_B8.zip:
YOU MUST BE UNLOCKED
Step 1-
Wipe Data Factory Reset!
Step 2-
Wipe davlick cache
Step 3-
install zip and pick your options
Step 4-
Reboot and enjoy!
wouldn't this restore the phone back to stock?? Or is it just the bootloader partition that is left alone when you do a factory reset? Also, the instructions were not too clear when it mentions: "install zip and pick your options". Do I unzip the file and pick something in the install folder? A tad confused here...

You want to wipe system, factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. Factory reset will wipe data like Google account and apps and such.
Then the ROM installs with aroma which loads up a GUI that let's you choose what you want. Can choose apps installed clock location how many widgets you show at the top what kernel you run etc. Literally flash the zip and you'll understand.

Thanks. I am not sure how to "wipe system", but I read how to factory reset and clear dalvik cache. Also not sure how to load the jellybeans ROM(do I mount it.. is it an .iso? etc.)... lots of reading to do. Ty for the input m8.

If youre using TWRP click wipe, then factory reset, swipe to do so, then cache same way, then dalvik.
To flash rom click the install tab, find the rom, make sure you tell it to look at the internal or external at the top and find the rom, then swipe to flash it
sidenote: factory reset clears data, which is what most people do. system wipe actually clears out the partition where the rom is, in other words the phone will not reboot until youve flashed a rom to it

Put the ROM on your phone and go to the install section of your recovery (You must boot into recovery by holding power, home, and volume up while turning on your phone) and flash it from there.

My phone is now unlocked + jailbroken after following instructions from CASUAL. No issues.
When u say put the rom in your phone. U mean my SD card? Per littleguevara's post:
"To flash rom click the install tab, find the rom, make sure you tell it to look at the internal or external at the top and find the rom, then swipe to flash it
sidenote: factory reset clears data, which is what most people do. system wipe actually clears out the partition where the rom is, in other words the phone will not reboot until youve flashed a rom to it" <----- if the phone is wiped then everything is gone so I can't put the jellybeans rom there.
Also from "Originally Posted by nosympathy
You want to wipe system, factory reset, cache and dalvik cache. Factory reset will wipe data like Google account and apps and such"
Will I be able to wipe cache and dalvik cache WHILE in recovery mode? I just want to be as proactive as possible and avoid being reactive to anything that comes my way that I am not aware of. I believe I already have TWRP (i saw their logo while jailbreaking).. Any input is appreciated m8.

Try this first.
If your device is stuck at boot animation or facing boot loop issues then try the following steps:
Disconnect your phone from computer, close Odin and remove phone's battery. Reinsert it back within 3 to 4 seconds, re-launch Odin and then repeat the tutorial from step 4.

Otherwise, just go into your recovery and flash a custom KitKat or a Lollipop ROM. This method would remove all the data present on the phone, so I am assuming that you took a backup before handling odin. To flash a ROM, do this:
1. Download ROM and GApps and put them in your storage(MOUNT SDCARD FROM THE RECOVERY ITSELF)
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache Partition
4. Advanced>Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Flash ROM AND GApps
6. Reboot system.
Then you're good to go.
Regards.
