Okay first of all, my phone was working fine but suddenly i had to use the GSII_repair app from the market
since my phone cannot suddenly detect any simcards. I used the 1-2 steps in the app since it said i had to reboot.
Then after that It went to a bootloop, tried flashing stock ICS rom it works but the phone suddenly turns off everytime before the S logo finishes its animation! what could be the problem?
may be soft brick

what did you used? ICS or gingerbread version in flashing? did you have to partition or you just flashed pda/bootloader/kernel?

1.Flash stock kernel,put in PDA block of Odin.
2.After that Flash all 4, bootloader,PDA,Phone & CSC same time.
Get a 4-file firmware. (PHONE, PDA, APBOOT, CSC)
Make sure you're not using a 4.0.4 leak - use a 4.0.3 official firmware.
If this doesn't work, flash a custom kernel and wipe /data.
If it still doesn't work, flash a custom ROM (CM9, CM10, AOKP). Once you've got that up and running, return to TouchWiz if you wish.

Can you get into cwm recovery ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yes and im talking about the first boot screen.
The one where we see the Galaxy s2 logo.
Not the S Animation.
I'm stuck, tried PITT,departitioning , kernel, pda ,csc .
Could the GSII_repair kit messed up something much more?
Got into the S animation on ICS stock but phone shuts down even before the S animation has finished appearing.
And I had to have the usb plugged into the phone just so i can power it on.

Recently my phone has just been restarting itself allot and it is getting very annoying. The phone would just be sitting beside me and the next thing I see is the Samsung boot screen. It never restarts when I'm using the phone. Just when it's standing by.
I was thinking an emergency firmware recovery through Samsung kies might work. But I'm afraid of losing my apps. If I do this will the apps be removed or will they be there just as usual?
Current android version that i have is gingerbread 2.3.3
Thanks for any help or advice in advance
For me i would back up all my app to the computer (music,videos,pics,apps etc.) and then update.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
i doubt there would be firmware recovery available from kies [who uses kies this days].. as your last firmware installation was total there wont be recovery....
if you choose to root [your choice]... you can backup your apps and then try to do anything.... if you just need to backup apks then use AppMonster.. this will just backup apks not whole data with them
try to flash stock firmware with odin again
This hasnt been brought up recently since a lot of the active users here uses CM7 nowadays, so I'm guess that this is simply SOD(sleep of death) caused by wifi.
You might resolve this by turning off the wifi when ure not using it.
When I turn WiFi off, it still restarts itself, all the time

Solved with cyanogenmod
I gave cyanogenmod 7.2 a go on my ace.
So far no problems! I will post if I come across any sort of restart. But so far it's great.

Phone restarting with cyanogen mod
I flashed cyanogen mod on my phone and there were no problems until last week. The phone hasn't been restarting just not waking up. Then I have to pull the battery out to get it to go again. My phone can't go 24 hours without we having to restart it once or twice .
Is there any way to fix this. Thanks

thanks for your suggestion but I've already tried reflashing it. through Odin and clockwork recovery. Both giving the same result.
I am following the instructions to flash exactly but still restarts.
sorry for your problem man, but i didn't face such problem.. i'm flash and using almost all of custom ROMs available from various devs.. use them at least a week and its nice..
try flashing it again using cwm 5, may be it will solve your prob.. currently i'm using nims11 infinity v2..
CWM5
Where do you get cwm for galaxy ace. I have version 4 and that might be causing problems with the updated cyanogenmod.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions!
Is the installation just the same as other versions?
boot in recovery mode and install update from sd?
If I can get cwm 5 from somewhere, I'll give it a go!
If I have cyanogenmod already installed with cwm 4 can I install cwm 5 and not worry about it, or will I need to reflash cyanogen again?
try flashing cwm 5, n then, flash cm7 again..

You flashed cm7.2 with cwm4??Flash cwm5 and then try a reflash of cm7
I've flashed cwm5 then wiped the phone using it then I flashed cyanogenmod, (the one from the xda forums at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292 )
There was no problems, I restored all my apps using titanium backup. Then just a few minutes before this post I came to my phone and it wouldn't light up. (Sleep of death I think you call it?) I had to pull the battery out to get it to go again.
It was plugged into the charger at the time
Bluetooth was on
Wifi was off
Mobile internet was on
Before I locked the screen it was syncing gmail. (This probably isn't a problem)
I have the 'all apps movable to sd card' thing checked in cyanogenmod settings to.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Chris.
Hi,
I have just rooted the S3 using odin. All installed ok. Installed ClockworkMod recovery and selected the backup ROM option. Phone rebooted in to recovery and the backup failed.
Used the volume keys and selected reboot now and hit the power button and the menu dissapeared leaving the Clockworkmod logo in the middle of the screen, nothing happened. Click the power button again and the menu comes back. Click the front button and nothing happened.
Tried turning off the phone and it goes back in to the recovery menu. Pull out the battery and put back in and goes back to recovery.
I can't select any option in recovery menu and can't reboot the phone normally. Any ideas?
To confirm v 5.8.4.1 is installed.
Sorted!
Noticed my error. I was using the Recovery mod app from the play store and not the CWM app installed by odin.
Repeated the odin procedure and booted back up fine.

Follow the exact procedure from when you first rooted the S3 that fixes it then don't use the recovery rom app from the play store. You should see an app called 'CWM' only use that.

Hi
I searched and only found similar cases with other phones and no solution.
I was on stock 4.0.3 with CWM, rooted and siyah kernel and tried to upgrade to CM9
with Rom manager
i dled cm9 with gapps and let ROM Manager do the backup, wipe and reboot to recovery
but then i just saw the first GT 9100i boot screen with the triangle and after that
the screen stayed black.
i noticed in a darker area that the screen blinked everey few seconds, so i guess its trying to reboot all the time. some kind of bootloop?
i cant access the cwm, nor boot normaly.
just the download mode is working
so i tried to flash a stock FW from intratechs thread via odin
but... FAIL
help would be much appreciated right know :crying:
thank you
Mmm I've had issues with rom manager before but never this severe. All I can suggest is what I would do which is to fash stock firmware from samfirmware via PDA section in odin. If this doesn't work I think there is a sticky thread which is dedicated to situations like this. It requires flashing a firmware via odin again but all partitions are used so it will wipe your device. All the best.

Can you still get into Download Mode?
EDIT:
Try manually wiping data, cache and dalvik cache.
Try to go into recovery. Hold down volumen up, home key, and power on, at once hold them down ontil you reach recovery.

Flash a stock kernel then wipe everything the recovery it comes with. Also make your flashing roms for your 9100i model.

I have the very same problem as you.
I can enter download mode but can't enter recovery mode.
I can flash any rom I can find but all of them have no use.
Still can't boot nor recovery.
Have you fixed the problem just by reflashing stock rom?

Hi !
I am using a Samsung Ace S5830i since 2 years now with a custom ROM : Ace-i-Sure 12.0, all worked properly.
Yesterday I installed an app, I do not remember which one but I think it was a game, then my phone rebooted and looped on the boot animation.
I am used to unbrick my phone and change ROM so it did not scared me.
I tried to flash the stock ROM I used to flash everytime my phone has been bricked. Flashing went OK but my phone kept looping.
I tried to wipe data/factory reset but nothing changes.
I tried with another stock ROM found here and nothing changes either.
Do you know what might causes this problem ?

I might buy a new phone, but I ain't got much monyer, I can spend maybe 100€ or 200€ maximum
Does your phone enters into download mode and detected in odin?
What's the status during flashing ?
Then try the flashing methods on another pc.

Which version of galaxy s2 you have? You can see it in phone information at the bottom of your settings as modelnumber.
Maybe you'd try to flash a rom without kernel first, cause it's likely you flashed the wrong kernel.
So at least your phone will start running. Afterwards we can talk about further stuff

Too late to backup data now. You should have done it earlier (unless you've already done that). Next time, use titanium backup to backup and restore app+data. You could try flashing back the original rom you had. Your phone should reach to 100% when flashing anything, so in your case, this seems to be a big problem.

If you are stuck on siyah kernel, this could be a problem with the rom you are installing. What version of android are you trying to install?
