Can't install any ROMS - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I rooted my phone following QBKING's guide using the E4GT FF18 one click ODIN file. I than went ahead and followed his guide to installing AGAT CWM.
My phone was nicely rooted, I even double checked it by downloading root checker and everything looked fine. I downloaded WanamLite ICS XWLPU V12.4 Android 4.0.4 and tried to install it on my phone through AGAT CWM. The installation went smoothly. After installing, the phone boots up, and get's to the main screen where I'm supposed to see my Homescreen and App bar etc, however I just see a black screen and the status bar. I get errors saying com.android.phone is not working, my home/menu button isn't responsive (the back button is though), nothing works.
I'm stumped as what the issue could be, I've spent about 5 hours trying to re-root and reinstall the ROM. I also tried Resurrection ROM, but still got the same results. What do you guys think could be the problem?
Thanks!!

1st of, can you provide details about your device? What kernel, modem, baseband you were on when it worked? Also are you sure the rom is meant for your device?

The issue is that your apparently tried to install an i9100 ROM on an Epic 4g Touch. ROMs are NOT compatible between the two phones. The I9100 doesn't even work on Sprint's network.

Since those ROMs work well, I can boldly say You simply flashed it wrong.
Let me know all the steps you took while flashing the ROM, then I will be able to assist you.

Yet another way to root a i9100 lol.

[Q] Reset to fully stock

So i purchased an atrix 4g off of eBay, and it has a few Root applications on it, but isn't actually rooted.
The android recovery mode is also broken, i get an android robot with the Attention symbol. Would post a link to one i found on the internet but i cannot since i am under 8 posts.
The phone was on 2.3.6 build # 4.5.141 when i received it. and i have done nothing to it so far.
So maybe someone applied OTA updates and killed the root or something, idk.
in the end the end i would like to root it with some ISC.
So is there anyway i can Reset everything to stock out of the box. Or to fix the problems with recovery?
Also for now it wont really be used as a phone, as i don't have a sim yet.
To cover the basics here let's make sure the phone isn't bootloader unlocked or rooted. To check bootloader, when you boot the phone, does the moto screen say "Unlocked" in top left hand corner of the screen? If not, it isn't. Then for root, check it with the app root checker basic or pro from market. Get back to the thread once you can answer those questions and then I will post something to help you with the getting ics.

Both of those come up as a no So no unlocked boot loader and no root
Try this but you know the risks of messing with the phone right??? Read EVERYTHING before you do. Your phone says a different version of firmware than the thread but if you look back in the posts of the thread in the end, it will work. You can also read the Atrix thread stickies.
Edit.... having trouble posting link ... give me sec.
Edit 2....can't post from phone. Let me post it from my computer when I get to the computer in the morning.

Have you flashed a different ROM for the time being to at least have a working phone? Like a blur or cm7 ROM?
Sent from my Atrix with XDA Premium
Thats is what i was going to try next, i havent got to it today.
Are you flashing plugged in? Try flashing the rom without having your phone plugged in.
Also, if you're at the M logo screen, I suggest waiting it out for quite a while. Be patient. I used to think when I flashed roms that I was stuck at M logo, but I just wasn't waiting long enough, especially coming from a full wipe.
Otherwise, try doing a battery pull and then putting it back in and booting it up.
You can also try using Nottachtrix with the installer? I've heard that fixes a lot of people's problems that are getting stuck at logo screen.
well right now it seems that the battery is dead and wont charge....
So im not sure what im gonna do about that
Ok so im installing NottachTrix now will report how it went when done.
Also about leaving it on to boot, i did that for 24 hours, nothing happened
Edit:
It seems to be working so far. The phone is stuck at a charging screen with a battery icon, much more than it was before.

Touch screen glitch?

Hello
first off let me say thanks in advance to anyone who can help me shed some light on this matter.
im trying to follow forum rules (i have used them before) and used the search function. so if i missed it im sorry. but here is as much info as i can give.
so i have a Tmobile samsung galaxy s vibrant. great phone love it. it had eclair on it. i used samsung kies to update it to froyo 2.2. that was the most i knew you could update a phone. until i found out you can do more. so i instantly wanted to flash to a the best ROM i could find info and was directed to the jelly bean Rom. i initially wanted to try the helly bean ROM (not sure if there is a difference) but im new to this and went with the rom i could find the most info on. found this guy on youtube. since i can post out side links yet. he calls him self "DJ eddie one" who was also recommended by the team passion forum. again im new to this so bare with me. so i tried to go through the process. I'm sure you all know that you cant just go from froyo to another rom. so i had to go back to stock. i re flashed the phone back to eclair via Odin by the same guy in his "return vibrant back to stock" video no problem. back everything up and made it back to stock. touch screen has response and i can unlock the phone and use it like normal. here is the deal now. after i went through the whole process of flashing it and going from ICS to slim bean and then to jelly bean. the home screen comes up and says "swipe here" or "touch here" or "start" or what ever. the screen does not respond. the volume buttons raise the volume and the power button turns the screen off and if i hold the power power button i get the "airplane mode"/"power off" options but cannot select anything. i thought i had done something wrong so i did the process over again. 3 times. even stopped at each rom change just to check it out as i processed through the process. no change. flash back to Eclair stock. and it works fine.
please help. i hate elcair. im sick of it. i want my free mobile hot spot back so i can listen to NPR news ap on my ipod touch in my car cuz i dont have a radio. and froyo blows too. if you're wondering why i can afford a snazzy phone and ipod touch but not a car stereo its because i drive an RX7. Cheers please help! i sure hope its something stupid (almost always is with me) i tend to over think things. plus i work on PCs and MACs for a living. i setup freaking networks for Allah sake. its frustrating to get stuck on a some phone software. AAAAHHHHHAAA.. *end rant*
thanks again.

Well if your running hellybean. It sounds like it might just be a bad flash. Don't Odin back to stock.
1.go into recovery and format system.
2. Wipe cache.
3. Go into advanced settings and wipe dalvik cache.
4 go into mounts and storage and format /boot and format /system.
Reflaah the hellybean allinone(it depends which hellybean build were you flashing)
5.flash the hellybean add on and reeboot

Go to the Helly Bean thread in the developers forum. Go to page one and it should have a link to the addon package.
I had a glitch like yours one time where the touch screen acted like it was unplugged (for lack of better way to describe it). I popped battery out and rebooted and it was fine.
If not, Odin back to stock and follow my guide I posted in the Status 7 error thread. Page 3 I think.

and how would i do that? i mean what would cause the screen not to work? i was fine when eclair was on it and fine when foryo was on it. i go through the process of flashing it to ICS Passion then to Slim Bean and then to Jelly Bean and the screen just stops? i even stopped at eat Flash cuz i wanted to see what they looked like before made it to jelly bean. and each one the screen did work. i was thinking some sort of kernel file handles that or driver? correct me if im wrong.

That is the link for the addon package. Choose the one for Helly Bean. Its up to you whether its the regular or inverted. Should be able to just flash away.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30237539
The second link is for the install method I used. It may be overkill, but its the only way that would work for me, and it gave me a good clean install. It looks like a lot but it really doesnt take long..
I'm sorry guys bare with me. while i try to grasp this. im currently running the recovery software CWM-based recovery V6.0.1.1
since i cant get the ROM to work the screen can i mount the phone to USB drive from that recovery? or do i need to Odin back to stock and start over? so that i can mount back the USB and transfer the files i need.

Thank you for clearing up that link for me.
In that thread stated are the files i need to flash the phone. in there is this link (http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/) which i have been to before. i guess i got confused as to what files i needed from the link because there are a few directories in there with lots of other files and i wasnt sure which i needed. Example; in that link if i click on kernel link it takes me to the next directory with numbers. ( i assume these are versions) then if i click on 113 it takes me to another dir of files. i can only assume i want the one that is lableled "Devil3_1.1.3_HB_vibrant_CFS_BLN_VC_20120807.zip"
im just confused as to what files i do need and what i dont need. im sorry to be such a pest.

thanks toast;
whats the difference of the inverted as apposed to the regular? if i try one can i go back to try the other?
in reference to your second link;
i can flash back to sock with odin no problem.
the rest of the items needed on the list though
Gingerbread bootloader installed
-Bionix V fishman ROM (2.2 with Bali kernel, any 2.2 ROM may do.. YMMV)
-latest CM9 nightly (ICS)
-latest Helly Bean All In One and Add-on package.
i can get this from the same link?
The rest of the items you'll need to search for. GB boot loaders has a whole sticky devoted to it, how to do it, etc.
You can find the bionix ROM and CM9 nighty (ICS) in the android development forum (hit your back button once and you should see the development forum)
You'll be fine, just download everything you need, follow instructions, and you'll be set.
I've never used inverted apps, I assume it changes the look of them.

the Helly bean and add on package was post already
this one i think http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/addons/
Yep.. with the Bionix ROM, I download and flashed the package via CWM, I didn't use the Odin image. Either way should work fine. Your last link is directly to the add-on package, here is the link to the ROM http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/derteufel/Helly_Bean/rom/
I would download and use the 8/13 build of Helly Bean. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.
Just don't forget to flash to GB bootloader. You may have done that already, if not read about and follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990

The inverted gapps change white to black and black to white, for example in gmail the screen will be black and red with white writing.
There are two benefits from this
1. They look cool IMO.
2. It uses less battery, white screens draw more current.

Can you confirm your status now? It appeared that your touch screen will work while on eclair, but on no other ROM. Is that still your current situation?
Hey toast just looking over the thread, don't know if he still needs it but the hellybean zip he posted is a kernel zip not the ROM.

3) Flashed GB bootloader, reboot checked touch screen.. working good.

home button not working

sorry if this is an issue brought up elsewhere. going from cm9 stable to cm10 10/2. wiped everything and installed. home button no longer works. downloaded i believe the correct google apps. also tried going to 10/1. still not working. any help? i can give more details if needed... i'm assuming i did something wrong..
ok i've screwed up completely. i hadn't considered the fact that cm10 was JB. i just tried flashing straight from cm9 as usual. then i think i realized i needed to update cwm. then i realized i thought i needed a kernel and flashed KK. then i tried TWRP. I'm now completely lost. I tried going into twrp and wipe everything, flash kk, and then flash cm10 and then gapps (jb). still no home button working.
no one? update. I woke up this morning and home button was working. I noticed all my apps had been restored. I thought it must've just been that my launcher needed to be installed and updated. but then next time i unlocked the phone it stopped working again. then unlocked it again and it worked once. now again its no longer working. reboot and still nothing. really confused.
Ok. One thing I noticed in your steps. Install rom, then gapps THEN kernel. As for the home button issue, flappjaxx has a kernel for that very problem. Let me know if you need links.
Sent from my Note...where BIGGER is better!
Hey.. thanks a lot. So I installed his kernel and my buttons are working so far. But now bad screen flickering .. I read this is an issue with non stock kernels but I don't see the stock jb kernel in the sticky.

[Q] Phone seems unrecoverable after failed Jellybean upgrade

After reading the forums (and google) for hours, I'm still at a loss how to recover my i777 phone. I followed the directions to the T at Galaxy2root.c o m. I attempted to upgrade from Gingerbread to JellyBean 4.2.1. I first rooted my phone using Odin3 1.8.5 and Zedomax ROM. I followed the instructions in the link above, clearing the cache, cleared Dalvik cache, factory reset (I did it in the phone, not through CWM which is where I may have messed up.) I did a backup with recovery mode to the sdcard then went through CWM recovery mode and loaded the AOKP's JB build 5.
Everything seemed fine until it got stuck in the JB animation boot screen and stayed there. At this point, I lost access to the CWM's recovery mode menu. At this point, Kies will not recognize my device when it's in Download mode. I flashed the phone with the Siyah 4.0.1 ROM but that caused more damage, being that the phone does not go past the boot animation.
Since I cannot get to recovery mode, how much trouble am I in and how to I fix it? ANY direction will be appreciated.

Thanks.
I can humbly say that my overconfidence and inexperience with flashing got me into a fix. I took tlopez1973's advice and followed the directions he sent me to. I flashed the ROM with stock Gingerbread 2.3.4, rooted it with Siyah, installed ICS stock and rooted it with siyah 4.0.4. Thanks a ton for the direction. I know now that the fine print is extremely important and definitely will be more diligent in comparing others' procedures when messing with kernals.

I can humbly say that my overconfidence and inexperience with flashing got me into a fix. I took tlopez1973's advice and followed the directions he sent me to.

here's the biggest tip anyone here can give you, you're welcome:
If you didn't find it in xda, don't use it.
Glad you got everything working! Read the stickies here and search Google with "xda" after your query and you'll be fine!

[Q] Why are these roms not working?!? x.x

There were two main roms I wanted to try after I finally S-OFF'd my phone yesterday. Hatka Supreme 1.1.0 and Carbon. Neither of these worked and I'm glad that I backed up my S-OFF rooted stock rom. Hatka Supreme, the guy states its best to use Beast Mode kernal with the rom, which I flashed after I installed the room, and it just randomly reboots at the splash screen/a few seconds after getting into Android, so I restored my stock and everything worked fine. Next, I tried Carbon, and it just sat there at the carbon flash screen for like 20 minutes, so again, I had to restore to stock. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a difference between Original Android Development and Android Development? Should I be looking at the original or what? I'm really lost, I'm going to try another rom, hopefully someone replies to this before it finishes downloading. Thanks for the help.
EDIT: I'd rather just sit and wait to see if someone replies before I waste time downloading another rom...any help would be appreciated.

Did you do a full wipe? System, factory reset, dalvik?

It's probably your recoverys fault. On my last DNA I had nothing but failures. Once it took at least 30 times to get a Rom installed. Never solved the issue on that phone. I just soffed my new DNA yesterday, installed the newest cwm touch and flashed 4 different roms with no problem. Try re-flashing cwm touch.

Yes, still the same thing, I'm not saying I didn't do that the first time though, that's like the basics of installing a rom.

Do you think its TWRP's fault? After I found out there was no way to mount USB storage in TWRP I wanted to switch to CWM, but sadly I don't know how.

You could use the goomanager from the play store or use fastbook flash recovery cwm.img
Edit: for the touch version of cwm fastboot is required.

I would rather use goomanager, because it seems easier, but the only thing it seems to be able to download is the twrp image. How would I set it to cwm?
I have canvas 2 running on suvi6 Jupiter rom i have some prob with this when i reboot some icon on home screen will disappear, i found that those apps which r installed on ext sd card its icon will disappear from home screen, but apps working in apps list, only icon from home screen disappeared.
Other problem is that while incoming a call i cannot see full picture of caller becoz half screen is black and half picture can be seen.
Please help me

Sorry I was mistaken, goomanager installs twrp not cwm.
Fastboot is easy to use, I'm at work so I can't to a step by step til I get home later. You should be able figure it out but if not I will help when I get home.

I don't know if you knew this already but I s-offed using moonshine, is that a problem? I installed cwm and tried installing hatka again and it did the same thing, restart like every three seconds into android. I don't know what to do anymore.

I'm no expert, but when u flashed hatka, did u reboot into the system before flashing beast mode kernel? Flashing a kernel in the same recovery session is a no no. Also, beast mode is not compatible with carbon, fyi.

I did that the first time, and thats when I started experiencing it, so I figured that was the problem. So I restored to stock, and then just tried flashing the rom and booting, still same thing, rebooting every 5 seconds. Sometimes I'm able to get into settings, scroll up and down a few times, and then it reboots.
EDIT: If I remember correctly, I didn't even flash beast mode kernel after I flashed carbon.

If you had you never would have seen the carbon boot animation I don't think, just a white scrambled screen.

I've had the same sort of thing happen to me when we first started working with CM. I had to lock up and run the RUU then unlock again, started flashing normally again after that.

I don't want you to do anything, in was just saying what I did to correct it when it happened to me.
And no, I didn't day s-on, I said relocked, the RUU won't run on an unlocked device. Locked and son are different.

I've never had so many problems just trying to flash a Rom before, this is crazy...I'm seriously at a loss about what to do other than stay on rooted stock
bump?..I really want some help..
Did you figure it out? I'd do what pio said. He's kind of amazing. He's a very smart man who most likely knows what he's doing
