[Q] Reinstall through Odin - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I decided to go back to stock (was on JB Custom) and it all worked fine but now it appears to bootloop on the Samsung logo and wont go further. I take it as I am downgrading to ICS ROM I might have missed something or should it not matter?
The other thing is my battery level is about 38%, I read somewhere it needs to be 70+. Is this the issue? I assume not but wanted to check
I can get into download but not recovery (suggested clearing data etc might help)

Because u hav go back to stock version it wiped out ur recovery use odin to flash the latest recovery it is best to hav more battery left on ur phone 38 probably isnt going to be enough try. Make sure u found the right version of ics for ur phone and try flash it again

Did you install back the stock kernel before changing back to ICS? Or any ICS kernel other than stock?

[Q] help kernel panic upload mode only

Just flashed a custom ROM like normal did 3 wipe data, cache and dalvic then all of a sudden I got this phone message above any help would be much appreciated
Kernel panics occur when the system incur a fatal error and has no possibility to "live" any more. windows blue screen when it is called
Kernel panics arise from two reasons:
First (must have been an app with root rights) faulty memory accesses
Second defective hardware
=> just reflash and look whats happening

Most KPs on here have not been hardware problems many are beta ICS rom problems .

Kernel panic upload mode
I was flashing custom ROMS from couple of months and did dozens of times.
But when I was flashing resurrection ROM an updated version, it completed but when I rebooted it was stuck in the kernel panic upload mode after the boot screen(galaxy s2). It was not going to clockworkmod recovery too. Then using the odin I tried to flash the stock ROM as well as custom ones. But it will finish, will stuck in the boot screen. Then flashed recovery using Odin and tried to flash custom roms. Couple of ROMS worked but most of them failed and stuck in the boot screen. I could able to restore the stock version which I saved previously.
But I cant try most of the ROMs now. CM9 didnt work.. But MIUI worked.
Can anyone help me.???
Ouch
Ok this is what's up,
I flashed a 4.0.4 Sammy ROM after wiping everything in a speedmod CWM recovery and my previous ROM was also a 4.0.4
Now for some lame reason,phone's gone into this stupid kernel panic upload mode. Maybe my new ROM was f****d up.
I flashed that new ROM and siyah 4.1.1 and the phone gets stuck on that gokhanmoral symbol.I try going to recovery mode ,it goes into kernel panic.I try download mode, still goes into kernel panic.
I've ordered a USB jig as a last resort.
Anyway to fix this before the jig comes coz it might take 3 days and I cannot live without my phone for that long

Help with broken sgs2(noob)

Recently i had been trying different roms using ROM manager. This morning i was using nightly from CM9 and from recovery i tried to install CM7
I dont remember having done any wipes as i thought it wasnt necessary no errors ocured but when i tried to reboot my phone it gets loop on the very first screen that is like samsung galaxy s2 and this yellow triangle. I cant acces recovery neither download mode, i dont know how to undo this but im gettin even scared of loosing my phone. Please help!
Can your phone boot into Samsung logo?
I believe Cm9 is an ICS based rom and CM7 is a GB based rom so they are quite different and probably require a full wipe before moving from one to another. Are you able to enter recover or download mode?

The problem is moving from ICS to GB.
Just flash back CM9, assuming you can enter Recovery...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
He can't enter to reco. Only DL mode.
So, you need to flash back stock ICS, root, full wipe and again flash GB.

Help Galaxy S2 won't boot after updating to CM9 R2

Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. Android v4.0.4 LQ7
I am a noob so sorry if my question is stupid.
I have rooted using method 1 in that thread and it worked great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Then I downloaded the app ROM Manager and downloaded CM9 RC2 since it appeared to be a stable.
I used ROM manager to download the file cm-9.0.0-RC2-galaxys2.zip
Once downloaded I saved that file in the external SD Card and used ROM Manager to reboot in recovery mode and install the ROM.
The installation progress fine and complete. I then reboot my phone.
When rebooting the phone displays the Samsung galaxy S2 screen and then switched to Cyanogen (mod) 9 screen. From there nothing happens. The phone won't boot. I tried to removed the battery which is the only way to turn the phone off and reboot in recovery and reinstall the file but the same thing happens.
Please help!
You've probably installed wrong zip for your device/variation.
Specifically which GS2 have you got?
Did you wipe date/factory reset?
Try wiping before and after flashing?
Get the CM9 nightly and flash that instead or try flashing Siyah kernel over the one that is on your device now. I personally use Goo Manager from market as you can download/update/notifications and browse compatible roms via that.

what would happen If I did a factory reset/data?
All I did was installing from external SD card nothing else.

If you do a wipe/reset it will clean all your installed apps/app data and restore settings to clean install.
Its advisable to do this whenever you are flashing a different rom. Its easy to backup and then restore all your apps automatically and silently (without intervention) in a few clicks after installing new rom with titanium backup (pro).
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Install CM9 Nightly from internal or external card.
Install latest CM9 gapps
Reboot system.

Gapps is basically Google apps it gives you the play store and sometimes face unlock. Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache before updating to CM9? That's one of the main reasons why ROMs don't boot up. Also first time boots do take a while about 10-15mins...

Thanks. for that. Do you guys know of a shortcut button to turn the mobile data on or off, like the power button does on ICS?
Also I would like to raise an issue with the ROM Manager App. I cannot do a backup of my current ROM. Every time I try to do so the App freezes. It did the same when I first rooted my phone and I was on the Stock ROM I was unable to do a backup then.
Is this something that happen often with Rom manager?
Thanks

Don't use ROM Manager, due to its incompatibility with most kernels and the S2.
Here's what to do about the short cut for mobile data:
Options –> System –> Notification Drawer –> Widget Buttons –> Toggle Mobile Data
It'll be there at the top when you pull down the drawer, if it's not immediately visible just slide the icons to the side and you'll see it.

You always do backups in recovery mode, Rom Manager (if compatible kernel) simply automates teh process of rebooting into recovery and starting backup.
Depending on your rom/version you can do this via power menu anyway (reboot into recovery).
STOP USING ROM MANAGER!
It can & most likely will fuc& your fone up. If u want to learn I suggest u read all of chainfires posts, then check out the SGSII Bible in the GS2 section. Then get urself the correct tar file for the Cf root kernel specific to ur country or region. That will get u outta the ****e if this ever happens again. Read up on all things root etc. u could do with learning what Odin is too!

Thanks for that. I think I know what Odin is. Thank you so much for that post. You have opened a whole new world! I have opened the SG2 bible I wish I have done that before. I am about to do a back up now. but I have not been able to do a back up of my original stock ROM since I was trying to do it with ROM Manager and it would freeze all the time. I think it is the worse that I could have done I have changed my ROM and didn't not do a back up before. i guess I will never be able to revert back to my stock ROM. Thanks again for you precious advises they have been very helpful!
Naa m8, u can always go back to a stock, u just need to tell me your country & the modem & ROM version, mine was stock Uk 4.0.3 & once you have that you can flash it with Odin then flash the Cf root kernel. you would then be on a totally stock ICS ROM but with root & CWM recovery so you can then flash anything you like. If you give me the country & which ROM (ICS or GB) you would like I can give you the necessary files for Odin.
Do not, I repeat DO NOT flash a stock ROM & stock unrooted kernel as if u do a full wipe it will hardbrick ur fone!

There's an even easier way....
Go here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071
then simply download the stock unbranded firmware for your country. it doesn't have to be your specific country but it helps as it has the csc etc that you need. Once you have downloaded it simply flash it with Odin & you will be running stock ICS 4.0.3 but with root so you can then flash CM9, but seriously I would highly recommended Omega v15. It's close to stock but sooooo much more. Im in all day if u need help
Sent from My Omega powered beast, using Xparent ICS
Hey thanks for that. I was thinking of doing a back up of my stock ROM in case I wanted to revert back to it one day. I will have a look at that thread and let you know of my phone details too. I really appreciate your help. As far as using Odin goes I am not very familiar with it so I'll need to read a Guide on how to use it.

Oh by the way any idea why I can only connect to the play store via wifi? Using data it won't work even though Web browsing, FB, emails, etc all work fine. I am running CM9 nightly build.

In that case you will need to flash an appropriate modem file for your device or possibly check APN details.
You can get modem via dev section (use search) and APN settings from your carrier or google.

some quick help needed

i recently installed via odin the stock jellybean release rom on my phone along with cfroot and simunlocker.
i have found the stock jellybean rom to have a few too many bugs for my liking and want to go back to stock ics.
I have downloaded the stock ics rom latest release and tried to flash it again using odin in the pda box, it all seems to go fine but then the phone only seems to reboot as far as the samsung logo then stops.
What have i done wrong and how do i fix it please (or should i just be waiting longer for it to boot from the samsung logo?)
thanks

just re- flash stock (yes stock OFFICIAL) look on the on the general thread. and once done, try boot into recovery and will most likely get into it. Then wipe data (formats SD card) and wipe cache, then reboot and all will be fine. I always re-flash stock TWICE when coming from AOSP/AOKP/CM10 and always wipe data.
