Hey guys,
So i have my S2 for like 6 months now and never had any issue with flashing custom roms/kernels till yesterday. i installed XXKI4 and everything went perfect.
Few hours later i decided to flash CM7( wiped system,data,cache dalvik etc and flashed the zip 2x) so after this i rebooted my phone and it gave a bootloop. I was not able to boot in recovery mode so i had to reflash with odin to a stock rom. Well i did that and i was on stock rom again. i decided to flash the latest speedmod kernel, i flashed it and bam phone not booting, shows the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100 text with the yellow triangle and its stuck at this screen for an hour now. i just cant use ANY custom kernel/rom on my phone because they all give bootloops and i want CM7 so bad. Any idea's and suggestions will be truly welcome.
Stock Samsung Roms are working great, but dont want that ;p
thx!

Have you done 2x flash in a row of CM7? its a know bug (but unknown reasons) it just dosnt start until you flash it 2x in a row.
Suggested method:
1. Enter ClockWorkMod recovery
2. Wipe data/cache factory reset
3. Wipe cache
4. From mount and storage menu, use Format System
5. From advanced menu, use the Wipe dalvik cache
6. Flash CM7 latest nightly
7. Reflash CM7 latest nightly
8. Reboot the phone
Not sure if this can help you, since you experience a problem that is not exactly the one i saw some times on forum (you cant even enter recovery mode after the flash) but this is how usually ppl makes CM7 work
Oh on a side note, i suggest to not use rom manager, it's confirmed (at least, from various posts here on xda) to not be really 100% working on our SGS2 and can cause problems.
If all this isnt working, it may be worth downgrade to KI3 or KH3 stock one, root again and then do the above system.
I can assure you 100% this system works over KI3 and KH3
yep you need to flash 2 x CM7.
First time it will flash very fast.
Go back to the stock rom and then install CM7 again
can you boot in CWM or are you getting some errors ?

nah, this won't do it, believe me! coz i have exactly same issue with mine. I've done this countless number of times and nothing works... i just came to accept the fact that my phone doesn't support custom anything whether kernel or ROMs, until someone finds out the solution.
meanwhile you can try siyah kernel 1.7.8 or so, it worked with mine, see if it works with yours.
cheers!

i know this problem, my phone was stuck at boot too but i flashed back to stock rom and i fixed my phone. my problem was i can't use cwm its was dead.
i already tried to flash cm7 like 10 times and it doesnt work i can only boot stock roms with the speedmod kernel other kernels give bootloop.
Ugh this is pretty frustrating, will try to downgrade to xxki3.
Btw, after i flashed Cm7 twice my phone bootloops, then when i flash a CWM kernel to boot in recovery mode i get Can't mount /cache/blabla. really weird, i have never seen this on a phone ! =)
Yay its working!! downgraded to XWKI4 and flashed the cwm kernel! now im running CM7! thx peeps! =)
For the other people that had problems, you have to flash the codeworkx kernel because cf root kernel has a modified CWM that is not compatible withCM7
i have almost the same problem,but me i can flash any rom,but the problem is with the kernel my phone refuses to boot on any other kernel else than cf-root and the speedmod,it freezes in the kernel loading so i must turn it off and reflash via odin cf-root or speedmod to get it works again.

Yes, its all the same problem, flashing a rom with a diff kernel won't boot up, will just be stuck on boot logo...
---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------
Phew! NOW I HAVE CM7 RUNNING ON MY PHONE!!
I'm gonna try to explain how i fixed my issue, as clear and explanatory as i can..
lucky i didn't brick my phone during all this, because I tried so many things and none worked.I unsuccessfully tried downgrading to XWkI4, ZCKI4, and alot others via Odin... after flashing all i get is tons of error messages(on 3e recorvery) E: can't open/cache or E:failed blah bla bla to load /efs... i thought OMG! my phone is bricked! then i recalled reading somewhere that flashing the 3 tar (PDA,MODEM,CSC) files usually should work(maybe better than flashing a 1 tar file), so i found a 3 files xxKI3 rom, flashed it and BAM! it booted up this time without any error. so now i went ahead and rooted it since the tar files came unrooted, then went into CWM to flash cm7 ROM, flashed it twice and ofc i got stuck on boot logo.....i didn't panic much, i pulled out the battery, and restarted to CWM where i cleared cache/ dalvik/ and did wipe/factory reset, then i reflashed CM7 again (twice) and it worked!!!! YES, CM7 is fiannly working on my SG2!
thanks for everyone for helping, and i hope this can help others in same boat as me..

Try what i said and see if it works.
try the siyah 2.1.1 kernel,it solved my problem
hi guys, first post
ive had my rooted galaxy s2 with the latest siyah kernel 3.3.2, i had cwm recover 5 and rom manager
i tried to flash cyanogen mod through rom manager, following the steps it gave me, i downloaded the files through rom manager and went through all the prompts till i clicked agee to go into recovery mode.
once it did that the phone shut off but would not turn on again so i went to turn on manually, it loads the samsung galaxy screen with the yellow triangle but goes straight into a white flashing screen.
Ive tried taking the battery out, leaving it and putting it back in again, still a flashing screen,
check what i9100 you have and download correct cm9.
using cwm format data system cacha sdcard dalvik
flash cm9 using cwm
rommanager doesnt work on GS2

would reflashing my kernel on odin get me through? everything is back up onto my sd card.
Try flashing a kernel first, and if that doesn't work, flash a rom in Odin, re-root your phone & restore your backup. But yeah, don't use Rom Manager with a kernel that has CWRecovery. One or the other. Rom Manager has a habit of doing stuff like what's happened to you on SGS2's which also have CWRecovery installed.

awesome, I tried flashing the latest siyah kernel, the one that i already had on my phone before the problems, that didn't do anything to get me through, any suggestions on which kernel/rom to flash?
because you are on siyah and im not comfortable with that, please flash a stock kernel or cfroot kernel and format system data partitions after that.
now flash any official stock ICS or GB rom using Odin.

ohh sweet baby jesus im i flashed a cf kernel and now im into cwm on 4.0.1.5, can i just normal reboot my phone now?
No need to format anything. Given you want to use CM9, I'd recommend you flash CM9 Resurrection Edition in Odin, put the latest CM9 nightly & Gapps on your internal/external SD card then flash that nightly & Gapps in CWM (read the first page of the CM9 discussion thread thoroughly & follow the instructions to the letter. From there you can stick with the CM9 stock kernel or flash whatever other kernel you want to use (provided it's CM9 compatible).
From then on, if you want to flash CM9 nightlies, do it via CWM/CWRecovery, just don't use Rom Manager this time I use CM9 as well & I have it frozen because I use Siyah (which has CWM).

alrighty! thanks for the info, is cf kernel compatible with cm9? i want to just have one kernel that'll handle most roms, any suggestions?
ive reloaded my old stable phone version, the version i saved before trying to flash cyanogen mod with rom manager, this version has siyah and stock rom, back to square one *phew*
i still say wipe first, cm9 will come with its own latest cwm that can be used to flash any custom roms after.
flashing via odin version is easy and fool proof as it has everything bundled for correct working of cm9.
If you flash CM9 the CM9 kernel will overwrite/replace your CFRoot kernel, which is fine. As I said in my previous post you can stick with that if you're happy with it, or you can flash any other kernel that's CM9 compatible.
No suggestions/recommendations. Because your experience will not be the same as someone else's using a given rom or kernel. If you want to go down that path, try some kernels to find one you like. To see if a kernel is compatible with CM9, read the the dev thread devoted to the kernel in question.
OK. Given you're back @ square one, Atifsh is right when he says flashing the Resurrection version (Odin version) then flashing Gapps/nightly from there is probably a good way to go for you. Once you've done that, you'll be able to flash CM9 nightlies via CWRecovery. As said previously, read that first page of the CM9 discussion thread/instructions thoroughly before you do anything.

Something similar happened to me too. I flashed stock XWLPG, then siyah 3.3.2 and did a factory reset. After that, got stuck in a flashing white screen after the yellow triangle.
What I did: boot on download mode, flash XWLPG over PC Odin once more, did a full wipe BEFORE flashing siyah and then siyah. Everything went ok this time, but eventually I found out that every time I do a factory reset after siyah that problem would occur.

Don't panic,follow the steps:
1-Root e recovery with cf-root
2-download rom ( zip.packages) If you see any error messages or the procedure stops, then the packet of cooked rom may be corrupted.
Re-download and re-install from the beginning..
3-If the first boot takes more than 20-30 minutes, manually restart the phone by removing the battery or by pressing and holding for 10 seconds the power button.
If the problem persists, perform a hard reset .
4-If the phone restarts all the time, back in recovery mode and re-install, also performing the hard reset.
5-If your phone will not boot up, go into download mode and try to install a firmware via odin, performing a hard reset.
i tried installing a stock rom then flashing over that i have installed a ics one and jb one...didn't work...the problem is not with the booting itself but with the flashing like i said every rom flashes in like 5 seconds...it tells me it;s done and everything went fine but when i reboot i can't get past the samsung logo before the boot animation, so practically the rom doesn't flash...i dont know why...odin works great....but i can't flash through CWM. I wanted to try TWRP recovery also but i can't seem to find one for the international version of SGS3...Please help:crying:
Flash via recovery requires CF Root ,
ROOT

Odin flash is much longer than 5 seconds and short flash is probably wrong file /faulty file .

There is some protection with some cwm that allow script only with ROM Manager
as you can see there is no error in the log, so i can't do nothing.
Now try to ADB Push a ROM to your phone.....
Ok before we start, I have looked and tried everything I can find so I will post what I have done after I post my issue. (I know I'm new but I've been using this site a lot lately I just never signed up)
Alright.
My S2 gt-i9100 running ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB
I can root it with cf mod, no problem and confirmed that the root is working properly.
I use CWM recovery. Every single time I've tried to flashboot a custome rom, from Res Remix to straight up cm10 to other jelly bean mods, all the "top" mods suggested in articles, though it says successful, It always, always gets stuck on the Galaxy s2 screen with the yellow triangle. It does not go black, it just stays on that screen, I've left it for as long as 2 hours and it does not do anything and does not let me back into recovery mode. (download mode yes)
I have, multiple times, re-installed stock rom, re-rooted etc...
cleared cache and davik cache, factory reset and format system (prior to flashing the custome roms and sometimes right after as some suggest)
I even tried a complete wipe of the sd card, system, then reflashed stock rom. It always works to return to stock rom and to root it, but nothing else. It seems every solution I find on this site, and many others are point to the above things I have tried all with a slight variety. I have tried many different custom roms,
I'm lost what to do next? I can't find any other information, my binary count is up to 18 now and none of it has worked.

ohh, yes the Siyah kernel, I failed to mention that i tried rooting using the siyah kernel early on and it would get stuck on the boot screen and even ICS wouldn't work. now on the other hand, this was one of my early attempts and i've tried everything else twice so I will try this option again and get back thanks
I have now tried to boot kernel Siyah 5.0.1 twice and it gets stuck on the kernel boot screen after the samsung s2 screen (the one with the yellow triangle) The screen is a ying-yang symbol with pink/purple lighting. I have left it on for 10 minutes and it stays on that screen. I have removed the battery and put it back in and now it doesn't even get past the s2 bootup screen, I left it for a couple minutes, still nothing. Reboot the phone again and now it's in Kernel Panic Upload Mode... Going back to stock rom. I'll try to find a 4.1.5 siyah kernel and try that one and see if it does anything different.

And don't forget to go in recovery mode and wipe out the dalvik memory under advanced. After wiping dalvik/clearing user data and formatting your phone, reinstall the rom of your choice (that's compatible with the phone)
you can also install siyah 6 and flash kitkat directly from recovery.
Then it would use kitkats kernel and bootup the rom
thank you guys for your replys. i will try what you suggested and get back to you

1) Are you sure it is for GT-S5830i? But first, are you sure that your device is an Ace-i?
2) Which kernel is it? You need to know whether it is for stock-based ROMs or for CM7.2 ROMs.
3) Download mode is more important. Can you access it with volume down + home + power?

Since you can enter the Recovery Mode, just flash any custom rom. Make sure to do Wipe data/ factory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Mounts & Storage> Format /system and Advanced> Wipe dalvik cache from CWM before you flash a rom. That should solve it. If that doesn't work, then flash the stock rom back using odin from the Download Mode. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

Bootloop S5389i
Hi there, i recently tried to install a custom rom on my ace s5839i but got stuck on the 'Galaxy Ace GT-S5389i' splash screen. I then managed to get it into download mode and install the stock ROM using odin. the process completes on the computer but on the phone it says 'failed to mount /data' and gets stuck in a new bootloop now between the 'SAMSUNG' and Vodafone logo. is there anything i can do about this? thanks in advance
