I can still enter Download mode and even the installed CWM, but i cannot boot into android, its just stuck on the screen
I have searched on the internet for a solution, and i cannot find a solution for this
would installing a new ROM via an SD card work? What shall i do?

You will need a rooted Galaxy S2 to install all ROM/kernels.
NOTE: PLEASE ONLY INSTALL ROMS INTENDED FOR YOUR VERSION OF Galaxy S2! Otherwise you WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE and I will not be responsible! ALL ROMs on this site are ONLY for Verizon Galaxy S2!
First time to rooting and custom ROMs?
Please see our FAQ for your Galaxy S2 model FIRST!!!:

I wouldn't have tried this as your phone is i9100P, although I know the difference isn't that big.
Also, was your phone rooted? It had to have been rooted beforehand.

Hi, yes it was rooted prior to this, but i thought the only difference was that the P version had NFC - but now it seems I am stuck at the boot screen - any ideas? I would appreciate it a lot!
Flash your stock ROM and check it it works.

Hi, thanks for the reply - i will try flashing it after i finish downloading it. I presume I will have to do the usual wipe data, clear cache etc?

Yes, that should help. Btw what version you are downloading? 4.0.3 or 4.0.4?

I am downloading 4.0.3 from here: devsrom4android.blogspot (DOT)co (DOT) uk/2012/06/i9100pxxlph-o2-uk-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt.html
4.0.3 is what I previously had, and I believe that was the exact firmware I had on the phone (o2 NFC version)

That's your problem. You were on 4.0.3, which is ICS.
The instructions at galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-rooted-galaxy-s2-i9100/ don't specify, but they are for Gingerbread ONLY. The recovery kernel contained within that zip package is ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4, which is for Gingerbread.
This thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693) is the updated version of that recovery kernel for ICS.
You don't have to flash the full firmware, just flash a kernel that is meant to work with ICS and you should be fine.

Thanks for the advice - but i already have the stock ROM on an SD card so i think i will flash this. Problem is i cannot get CWM to read from the external SD card, so i cannot locate the zip and install it - help?
EDIT: if i install the kernel you gave me the link to ([KERNEL][ICS] ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4) , will it remove the root access i had?
EDIT 2: I have just flashed the kernel via odin, and it finally got past the screen with the yellow triangle! However, it is now stuck on the second screen which shows the 'S' logo with the words 'Samsung Galaxy SII' under it. Any more ideas?

Can you boot to recovery? If so, you can try a factory reset/wipe data. You'll lose all your data, (not counting pictures/media) but at this point, do you have anything to lose?

I just tried that, i can boot into the new cwm - have nothing to lose since i've only had it for about 3 days - however even after the wipe data, cache and dalvik it is still stuck on the 'S' screen now

Well, now I'd say you need to flash a full firmware. You said you downloaded I9100PXXLPH from here? Should work. But you'll no longer be rooted, and you won't have CWM recovery.
How did you get into this in the first place? You wanted CWM recovery?

I will be sure to try that, and basically earlier today i rooted it successfully, and then i had to get CWM onto it so i could start flashing new ROMs etc, and i tried installing CWM via that method that has now caused all of this
Never the less i will try your suggestion, so should i basically mount usb from CWM, then copy the firmware over to the phone, unmount, and then wipe, and then flash it finally?
EDIT: it wont allow me to mount USB in CWM
can i just flash the ZIP using odin in download mode, or does it have to be a .tar file?

No. That download is for a package that must be flashed while the phone is in download mode. That will require you to use a computer, and a flashing tool, such as Odin or Heimdall.

How would I go about flashing it in download mode, i really have no idea as I don't think you can flash zip files in odin, forgive me for all of the questions I really appreciate your help!
EDIT: I have unzipped the file and hooray lies in it the .tar.md5 file! I am in the middle of flashing this and will report back on results
Thanks a lot guys!!
THANKS GUYS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP, my SII is now working fully again! Cheers to all that helped, flashing the stock firmware worked with wipe/cache
Can't thank you enough!
Last thing if you don't mind, i want to root it again using this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582)
Now after that, how can i install CWM without getting into the mess i got into today? cheers!
Nope, I think that's for GB. For easy root use method 1 from 1st guide in my signature.

But it appears that this will not give you permanent CWM recovery. Which is what I think he wants.

Well I think Chainfire's CF-Root kernels (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399) are not for i9100P, so not sure if he can achieve permanent CWM recovery. Anyway if he don't plan to flash every hour new ROM he should be fine with latest temporary CWM 6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840223 although will ask Phil about compatibility.
Hello, I'm using Cyanogenmod 9 ok for 2 weeks and today I've tried to test MIUI. I have just placed miuiandroid_GT-I9100-2.9.7.zip into my internal sd card then "install zip from sdcard" in CWM v.5.5.0.4. Everything was ok on the installation but MIUI doesn't load. The problem i have is that i do not have any backup of my old Cyanogenmod and i also don't have any other rom in my internal sdcard to install. If i could install a ROM from external sdcard it will be great but when i try to mount it i get this message: "Error mounting /sdcard!".
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII I9100, i bought it of another person (who was rooting it and so...).
What can I do?

I do not know, can I find that information somewhere?
Only in Settings > About.
But since your phone can't boot properly, I'd recommend you to flash Siyah through Odin, then flash MIUI through CWM.

Hello, I installed SiyahKernel S2-v4.1.4 from here: gokhanmoral dot com using Odin3 1.8.5. Now when i run the galaxy it shows me the Siyah's logo but nothing happens, also i can't enter to the CWM using volume up + home + power button. Am I missing something? Odin3 told me everything was ok.
Thank you very much.
I can get in the download mode... Is there a way to install cwm again using odin?
Are you holding those 3 buttons until Samsung logo will show 2nd time?

Hello Everyone,
Was wondering if anyone can help me solve a problem regarding the ROM of my Galaxy S2.
I've had my phone for more than 18 months now and I remember having it rooted and the ROM changed last year.
The guy who helped modify my phone is no longer around and so I am making attempts to change the ROM myself.
The current ROM on my phone is called Litening ROM version 6.1 and it was a fantastic ROM. However, it's already very old and needs to be upgraded to the latest ones.
I've downloaded and tried to install 3 ROMs so far and nothing seems to work.
I wiped the cache partition clean and also did a factory data reset.
Now, whenever I access the downloaded ROM from my sdcard, it always ends up saying:
"E: Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device)"
What does this mean? My device has ample memory and I've deleted most of the files on the sdcard already to make even more space.
My device is also rooted - so I don't think rooting it again is needed.
Please see attached pictures.
I've tried several ROMs and I'm now on my last ROM which is the Omega ROM for Galaxy S2.
All ROMs do not install and the same error message always shows up during installation.
Hope you can recommend a good solution for this.
Regards.

Hi there. Sorry but I'm not familiar with CWM recovery. My phone is factory reset so I did not install any other program.
Is CWM recovery an app which can be downloaded?
I just saw the program CWM recovery on my friend's Galaxy S3 which has Omega ROM installed on it.
But my S2 with Litening ROM does not have this app.
Cheers.

Here mate. Download thishttp://db.tt/MxD7F6xg.
Install it through recovery and it will replace it with CWM recovery (temporary).
Then flash your new rom through that.

Hi,
So i wanted to upgrade my ICS Rooted to JB by flashing this ROM.
It said on CWM success! and i rebooted my phone. Then it only kept itself on boot screen (Written: Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 and the Warning triangle at the bottom) it never went forward. Then i open CWM and it says [E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log].
What do i do now?
Before i had Siyah 5.0.1 with S3Mods ROM .
I have even tried to Restore back to when i had S3Mods Rom but then it says md5 mismatch (or something like that, can't remeber)
As said: what can i do now to fix this?
And what could've cause this?
Thank you for any help!
PS. Also the CWM Layout seems to have changed, i had with my Siyah 6.2.0.1 (don't remeber exact either) now it says PhilZ Touch 3

Try to boot into recovery and wipe data/do a factory reset.
If that does not help, try to flash the ROM again.
If that does not help, restore your nandroid backup of your previous (ICS) ROM.
Good luck !

Thanx, but nothing of that worked.
I did however re-flash my latest ROM (S3Mods ROM) and it did pass the boot, but i'll check now to see if anything has happened with my phone itself.
