Should I flash cf root kernel and go into recovery and flash Rom, or send it to Samsung because there is no triangle?

If there is no yellow triangle, and your custom binary counter is zero, then just send it to Samsung.
Good luck
Swyped from Samsung Galaxy SII
Try that and after vo into recobery and wipe data,clear cache and flash new rom...
I had faced this problem in for so many times,i always use one click cm9 rom and flash with odin,and make sure that you dont touch any option in odin...

I also had bootloop long time ago, but that was because I didn't made I factory reset. When I need to flash kernel via odin, I need debbuging on. I think I have to send it to Samsung. I am also such a dimbass to forgot to turn debbuging on:sly:

Problem solved by factory reset in system recovery

I had a boot loop on my galaxy s 2 .. out of nowhere didnt do anything.
It was too weird. I spent time reading lots of forums about this and saw different techniques.
What i did was i flashed back to 2.3.6. Did factory reset. then flashed back to ICS.
I think it happened because of some cache bull****. Just thought i should share.
Boot Loop Solved
I don't know where to post this so I'm posting it here. I have been scouring the internet for HOURS trying to figure how others got out of boot loop so I could get my phone out of it. I have a samsung galaxy s2 i9100g. I was in the process of unrooting it and while rebooting after installing the stock rom BOOM- boot loop to the samsung logo. I tried everything; battery out, in, pushing all combinations of volume(s)+home+power= nothing worked. Finally after a lot of trial and error one thing worked. I unplugged my USB and took the battery out, then while holding the three buttons I put it back in- and suddenly after hours(of trying to get something to happen) I got the download screen. (My phone wouldn't turn off or go into recovery as other suggested). So I downloaded a different stock rom and tried reinstalling via odin a few times but the problem persisted- still boot loop, still only download mode. Then I tried something different. When in download mode I decided to see what would happen if I pushed the volume down to 'reboot'. To my amazement my phone started up and went past the samsung logo for the first time in FOUR HOURS. It went into recovery mode! Then I factory reset it, and restarted it. So keep at if you think your phone is soft bricked or boot looped. I appreciate everyone else's questions/answers that kept me going while trying to figure out something that worked for me. So I'll break it down into steps.
1)unplug USB, take out battery. Hold down volume (holding down the 'down' volume worked for me), home and power button then quickly slide the battery in(while still holding down till the screen comes up). It may take a few times but the 'download mode' screen should come right up.
2)using odin install the stock ROM for your phone
3)when re installation is complete follow step 1 to get into download mode
4)instead of clicking the volume up for download, click down to restart and recovery mode should come up
5)factory reset your phone and reboot
I genuinely hope this helps someone. Nothing worse than rendering your phone useless.

The problem is I don't find a ODIN that works... links seem to be broken.
I have even risked to download a couple (4) different odin versions and some windows drivers / stock roms from the wild internet (who knows what crap those executables and files may come with), but I had no success with it...
I don't know how we can find trustable files that are required, or at least verify checksums somewhere to be sure that we don't get any unrequested present instead....
Will create or post in there asking for some help I think...

Hi all, I hope you guys can help as I'm coming up blank here after days of trying to fix this.
First, yes I read this thread and a few people were reporting the same problem but the solution was always to flash a stock firmware with odin.
Right now my wife's phone is stuck in a boot loop, she doesn't do anything out of the ordinary with it, I rooted it when she first got it 3 months ago and then flashed a stock kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle and it has worked perfectly until last week when she told me it was stuck at the galaxy s2 logo. No problem I though, I'll just flash a stock rom with odin and all will be well.
Well it didn't work out that way, I've flashed the original firmware, an ICS leak, Villainrom 1.1 and XXKI3 multiple times, with and without pit file + re-partition. I've flashed the old bootloader and I've tried a few custom kernels as well, and multiple combinations of the above. Nothing is getting it past the boot loop. The only result I've had that is any different to how I started is with an ICS build I got a screen saying kernel panic upload (or something like that, I don't have that rom flashed at the moment). When I connect at this time odin recognises the phone so I guess it's in download mode.
I can't get into recovery mode so I can't do a factory reset, when I press vol-up, home and power I get a blank screen for a moment followed by the same boot loop. I can get into download mode and odin is reporting successful on every flash. When I flash a custom rom or kernel I get the yellow triangle, it goes away when I flash a stock rom or kernel.
According to my wife just before the crash android market reported updates available and she installed them. I don't know if that's related or not but she says when she went back to the phone it had hung so she turned off the phone, upon turning it on it was stuck in boot (the big animated purple S part of the boot) so she removed the battery and since then it doesn't get past the initial galaxy S2 screen, sometimes, depending on which kernel it's on, the galaxy screen goes blank for a second or two and then the logo comes back.
I've really tried everything I can think to try, warranty isn't really an option as I'm in Saudi Arabia and I've been told it will take 3 months to get the phone back, also I can't easily access a jig, I'd have to make one and I'm not too confident in my ability to do that.
If anyone has any ideas at this point please help, I can't think of anything else I can do here.
tl;dr random boot loop, tried flashing everything I can find, no recovery mode but download mode works fine, help!

Flash a full wipe firmware and see if that helps, if you need one there is a link at the bottom of my insecure kernel thread.
Thanks Odia,
I just flashed the firmware at the bottom of your thread, I9100XWKE7_CL215725_REV02_user_low. Tried it twice for good measure.
Unfortunately nothing has changed on the phone, still can't get into recovery or past the galaxy s2 logo.

Have you tried with repartition and update bootloader ticked?
I didn't tick either of those this time but I have ticked repartition with a different firmware that came with a pit file. Do I need a pit file or can I tick repartition without it?

You need a pit file, use the 1 from the other firmware.
Ok, I just tried XWKE7 again with a pit file with re-partition ticked. Also tried flashing the old bootloader again with update bootloader ticked.
No change I'm afraid.

Most strange, look like your off to service
That's most unfortunate, I'm in Saudi Arabia and they have quoted 3 months to get the phone back under warranty although in reality I'd be lucky to get it back at all.
Are my options really exhausted or is there anything extreme I can try?
I ended up making a jig and took it for warranty repair and they were able to do it locally, it only took a few days.
The curious thing is even though I repartitioned several times using two different pit files the sdcard partition was still intact.
I'm pretty sure I was doing it right and the yellow triangle was coming and going as I was flashing stock and custom kernels so the flashes were taking.
I don't speak Arabic so I couldn't ask how they fixed it but what do you think was the problem? I was very surprised to find the data intact, it even had the same stock ROM that I flashed before I took it for service still installed.
Anyway thanks for your help in this thread odia.

Hi all!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which I since a week cannot start. It get stuck on the black/white samsung logo. I cannot enter recovery mode, nothing happens when releasing the power button after pressing volumeup+home+power buttons. I can however reach download mode. I'm not sure what caused this problem, one day I just couldn't start it. I read on forums that many similar problems seem to have occurred when upgrading android but I'm not sure this is the case here (unless the phone made an automatic update while I was asleep). I'm not sure what version of android I'm running, but I'm pretty sure it is at least the ICS.
I would like to hard reset my phone if possible. It seems to be easiest through the recovery mode which I cannot get into.. I read things about Odin, connecting the phone to the computer and downloading android to the phone but haven't quite grasped it. Could anyone explain this option for me or point me in the right direction? Are there other options?
I would appreciate any help, especially since my 1-year warranty expired a month ago!
Best regards,
Marcus

Sounds like the symptoms of a NAND RW corruption. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Hi Marcus,
I had the same problem few days back.
If it's not broken by you trying something fancy, the best solution is to take it to service centre. If you have rooted your device, had installed some custom firmware or are not willing to visit the service centre for some other reason, please read ahead.
All I did was,
Installed USB connectivity drivers through Kies.
Installed ODIN 1.83
Ensured that Kies or any of its processes are not running in background.
Downloaded the official SGS2 firmware
Flashed the firmware through ODIN.
It took around 10 minutes for the full process and I was having my mobile up and running. Using ODIN sounds scary initially if you haven't used it. I have slowly started gaining confidence in it after using it a few times.
Please note that though the process is well proven to be safe, there is still an amount of risk involved.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Download a siyah kernel(like v4.0.1) .tar file and flash through odin.
See if that makes it boot/lets you into recovery.

A couple of things..ensure KIES is not running on your computer in the background. If possible delete it completely. Also ensure your phone is connected to a USB port directly on the computer and not via a hub or to a USB port on a keyboard or something. Odin is a finicky s/w..so..
Also, try different versions. If v1.85 doesn't work try v3.4

Lol at underlining. if you flash a custom kernel like siyah, you'll be rooted and get CWM. Using that you can install a custom ROM.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
And youll be safe from the 4.0.4 brickbug if you flash siyah.
You flash a kernel for various reasons like it has emmc cap disabled,you can tweak it etc.
You can flash siyah kernel and stop there.Or you can move onto a custom rom.
Whatever,when its done-backup your efs and make a nand backup.
And yesterday I was downgrading my wifes phone onto 4.0.3.I was using odin and kept getting "failed".After 3 attempts I realised I hadnt put the phone into download mode..........how stupids that......lol
hi there, just wondering, after Flashing the stock firmware through ODIN, do you lose everything in your phone? i need to get all the notes that I have in my phone (notes from the samsung stock apps). I dont have any external sd card in the phone. thanks in advance for the reply.

Hi there sir,
Has the problem solved ? Care to share the solution ?
Thanks.
i had the same exact problem, i tried flashing with odin n stock firmware but stuck in NAND write start, i didnt try flashing with PIT & repartition though, i couldnt be bothered anymore, so i took it to samsung service plaza, they told me the problem is in the main PCB (hardware issue), so all they did was replace that n it got fixed! i didnt pay because it's still under contract/ carrier warranty

I had a similar problem, stuck at boot with Biftor v12, which happened after I tried to update SuperSU binary through CWM/TWRP. I don't know why it stuck at boot and why it wouldn't reboot to Recovery. Download mode was still working, so I had no choice but to flash new kernel through ODIN and see if it works.
So if your symptoms sound similar to mine, here's what I did to be able to boot again:
I REPEAT, SIMILAR TO MINE. MY SOLUTION MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY APPLY TO YOURS.
1. Download a suitable kernel in tar.md5 format. I used PhilZ-cwm6 v4.93.6 for XWLSN firmware (see OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270)
2. Download ODIN, if you don't have it, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
3. Once installed, boot your phone in Download mode by pressing Vol Down+Home+Power together until you see a warning dialog. Press Vol UP to get into download mode.
4. Make sure ODIN is running, and NO KIES processes are running.
5. Connect your phone with USB cable to your PC.
6. In ODIN, you should see a COM port with yellow background.
7. Click the PDA button ONLY.
8. Select the kernel file you downloaded.
9. Press Start and nothing else.
10. If everything went as expected, your phone should reboot after a while with a working Recovery.
Only do the steps if you are absolutely sure. This worked for me, and I hope it gives some tips for your problem as well.

Hi Flash-IS-Bright
I have the exact same problem with SuperSU on my rooted Galaxy S2. I updated the SuperSU app, and when I opened it, it recommended me to update the binary, I selected the CWM/TWRP option and then my phone tried to reboot but is now stuck. It can only access download mode.
In doing the process above, you only flashed the kernel? Did this totally work? And all your apps/messages were left intact on your phone?
Any help is appreciated.

when ur updating the binary u should always choose the 'Normal' thing instead of the 'CWM/TWRP' one ma8
if u flash a kernel it will not delete anything on ur phone, all u have to do is to select the right kernel like 'Philz' for example (if ur on a stock JB firmware) and flash the same through 'ODIN' and reboot ur phone

Thanks for your help. I've originally had Jeboo 1.2 kernel on my phone and tried to reflash that again through Odin. It passed, however I'm still encountering the same problem of the bootloop.
Would flashing a different kernel help? I'm on stock JB firmware but with a Jeboo kernel. I am happy to try another kernel (if that would not brick my phone)
Do you have any other suggestions to help me solve this?

You could try flashing hawkerpaul's kernel wiper first and then install another stock kernel like PhilZ or Apollo, and see if that helps.
Neat Rom lite,suddenly struck in boot loop after 1 month of operation.
Dear All,
I have installed the "I9100XWLSZ_NeatROM_Lite_v5.0.1" custom rom and after 1 month of successful usage, today suddenly the phone was dead.(probably due to autoupdates over wifi) . I tried to reboot, but didnt. Tried to restart but got stuck in the logo screen with yellow triangle.
Tried to enter recovery mode, but no use. Only download mode is possible.
Tried to flash the stock rom using odin, but no use, Nand write failed.
Can somebody help me how to come out of this situation. Shall I install a different kernal and see?

So my S3 went into a boot loop. And I dont know how I got to this point but now the phone wont even boot, when plugged in to my comp it shows the battery symbol but its greyed out with the circle in the middle, and it stays like that. If i hold the power putton it comes up with the Galaxy SIII GT i9300 screen but then goes back to the battery. I can get it to go into download mode though. I think somehow I may have deleted all the files required for the phone to actually boot(Im a n00b so im not completely sure) Can somebody please help me?
I was on custom ROM before and my binary counter is at 4, so sending into samsung doesn't sound like a great idea :/
Thanks for the help and sorry if this has been asked before, I have searched for hours.

If you also can go into recovery, try to wipe. In addition did you flash any custom kernel?
If not, try to reflash a rom with odin after you got into download mode or did you try this already?

If you mean with CWM mod, no I cant, it just shows the Galaxy S3 GT i9300 screen then goes black. Yes i did have a custom kernel, I believe it was the latest Perseus one. I already tried this with a stock rom and it idnt work, it said it had passed but i still can boot the phone.

as you can go into download mode but not recovery, what about flashing CWM another time (if you did not try it already). Maybe it solves the issue with recovery and from there you could go on trying to wipe etc.
Other options would be to do a mega or super wipe (if this is possible from odin & download mode, not sure though), to get your phone completely empty (mega) or at least to factory reset (super).

as you can go into download mode but not recovery, what about flashing CWM another time (if you did not try it already). Maybe it solves the issue with recovery and from there you could go on trying to wipe etc.
Other options would be to do a mega or super wipe (if this is possible from odin & download mode, not sure though), to get your phone completely empty (mega) or at least to factory reset (super).

I successfully flashed CF root with CWM, now shall I do a wipe and then restore back to a nandroid backup I made? and if so how will I? The phone now shows the samsung logo when turned on but just stays there forever.

Furthermore i suggest anyone having motherboard dead problems and vendor Samsung saying no warranty .
To pull up the many posts regarding this now known manufacturing defect and don't accept in this case root/ custom rom warranty is rejected .

The thing is there is nothing wrong with my phone in terms of hardware. The problem that I am having is purely software, I think I just need to restore my phone to a previous version. I did see that thread but didnt feel my post belonged there as my problem is nothing to do with broken battery or mobo or anything along those lines. Hence why I am posting here
Just factory reset via recovery then flash a stock rom via Odin .
No recovery flash CF root via Odin .

I did install a stock ROM and it was still stuck on bootloop, left it like that for an hour, still nothing. So I went into CWM (after flashing it) Wiped and factory reset (noticing it said error mounting /data but ignored) and then restored with a backup I had. it did say error mounting /data and so skipped that step. Still stuck in boot loop. now that I try wiping again the same error occurs, error mounting /data any ideas please?
I did have this problem a few days back. The only thing i did was downloaded my Carrier stock firmwaer and extracted boot.img and used Samsung galaxy toolkit and make a filé that i was able to use with Odin. Dunno if ot helps you but my Phone is still going strong
I was only trying to root my Phone tho. No custom rom installera when i got The boot problem
Sounds like you have permission problem. I can't find the three about that but I update my post here if I can find it.
you can try to fix permission in cwm it seems, hope it works

seems like you are new on xda, so welcome buddy,
download a firmware from sammobile, you have to register yourself, before you can download anything, dont worry, its free. flash this one file via odin3 v3.04, drop the file to PDA, connect your phone with USB and go to download mode, start just everything from begin.
i have tried all the things but i cannot solve the problems
Have you tried flashing a different Kernet?
True, did you try a other kernel ? Dorimanx v8.34, its good, by my side, its perfect, not bugged etc. flash via odin

Do a full wipe. It will get you out of the boot loop (hopefully)
Why does it 'not work'? There's gotta be a reason. Does odin fail when it flashes? If so, click the link in my signature and follow those steps.
And you do have an i9100 right? If you do, flash JB leak using odin. Download it from samfirmware. Its a 3 part firmware, and will wipe your device as it flashes. Give it a go.
i have tried all the things done flashing , stock and custom kernels and also the pit files but the behaviour is still the same ......
There"s no quick fix for this (other than buying a new phone) afraid you're here for the 'long haul'........
Look at @Hopper8 s guide for troubleshooting a failed Odin flash and follow it exactly (all steps) and repeat (all steps) as often as is necessary.........
......Unless you've done irreparable harm by flashing a pit file......

hard or softbricked ?
i think its hard .......because whin i press power button it does not shows any thing the cellphone becomes warm ,from the under side the sim area , but not too warm a mild one........ and i made the jig but accidently put 300 ohms instead of 300k ohm ......i have ruined it further more
A few hours ago I tried to do a factory reset on my Ace, and since then the device has been constantly rebooting. I get the Samsung flashing loop, then a second of the stock Orange rom that came with the Ace (haven't rooted or flashed a new ROM on the ace. Only installed CWM recovery about a month ago in preparation for it but never actually got around to rooting) and the whole things starts over with the flashing Samsung picture.
tried to go to CMW and do a factory reset again from there but to no avail. tried to do mount USB storage to allow the PC access to the SD but nothing happens (PC doesn't react). Tried to go to as the FAQ suggested but it just shows me a black screen with one line - LK (Little Kernel) something and then proceeds on to its "normal" boot loop.
I tried browsing around the forum for a while and saw a few recommendations, mainly rooting and installing a new ROM or installing a stock ROM with Odin, however there are two problems
A)I have no idea how to use Odin, and I didnt root the system because I never could choose a proper ROM. was worried I might mess up seeing how I never actually tried rooting or flashing.
B)Seeing how the phone wont boot, and CMW wont let me mount the SD to the computer, is there any way to get mount that SD without swapping it into another phone?
What should I do? Is there anyway to fix this?

Is your phone s5830 or s5830i?
Choose the stock rom appropriate for your device and flash via Odin.That's your only choice and btw Odin doesn't require root.Check the guides to get back to stock Rom for detailed information.

Sometimes the phone goes into download mode but the screen doesn't show anything.Connect your phone to PC and try getting into Download mode with the key combination while booting up,if Odin recognizes your phone,flash the stock Rom.
