Reboot your phone into recovery.
Hold down power button, you will see the option.
In recovery under back up and restore, you can restore it.

data partition have been corrupted?
Hello, I have an issue, i think my data partition have been corrupted base on my research so far. I'm just tracking back to how it all started.
I've been running this rom for about a week and i love it, it worked great until yesterday i decided to open a YouTube link via Chrome from my Facebook app. Chrome froze and eventually the screen went blank. I hold the power button to reset and it did, but got stuck at the S screen. I boot into recovery and re-flash the rom wanam 12.3. When i reboot it got stuck during the process of optimizing apps. I reboot and the same thing happen. I boot into recovery and did a wipe data/factory reset and it got stuck in the process. I did a battery pull. (here is where my memory doesn't quite remember the order of events) I attempted a restore of the rom and it failed after it had completed. I attempted restoring another rom but it had a mismatch md5 sum. I attempted restoring another rom S3 mod Rom and it got stuck during the process. By this time i'm only able to get to the boot screen. I flash stock XAKL1 with the pit file and that works for me.
My problem is that i can't boot into any rom unless i use a pit file, which leads me to the thought of my data partition being corrupted. I know the fix for this which is to flash a particular pit file which will create a new partition space at the cost of -2GB of internal space. I just want to make sure that my thoughts are correct before i do that.
Hi all,

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

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!

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?

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.

Thanks a lot guys!!

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.
Having installed Omega on my international i9300, my ext mem card is not showing, can someone tell me what I need to do to get it working again?
Many thanks
If you don't have any important data, formats it into FAT32 by using computer or whatever.
If you can't afford to loose your data, try flash an exFAT supported kernel

That's right, probably it's exFAT formatted, try flashing Boeffla kernel, it supports exFAT and at the same time it's an amazing kernel.

The ext mem was not being recognised having installed latest omega, , so I followed your advice, flashed the boeffla-kernel-2.12.tar, using odin on my laptop, now, I turn the phone on, it only displays Samsung i9300, then nothing, I try to enter download mode or recovery pressing volume down, power and home, no responce.
Previously I had installed some rom management software on my i9300, I thought that might affect my ability to enter recovery.download mode.
Please advise.

Looking @ boeffla it says on the site:
Note: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x) roms!!! Do not install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!! And do not install on latest Samsung 4.2 leaks !!!
I am running 4.2.2, is it ok, to flash it?
Q: pressing power button holding, no option to boot into recovery, how can I change this?

Ow, that's the reason that explains all, don't use boeffla with 4.2.2, there are no kernels yet that I'm aware of for that firmware.
I don't recommend you 4.2.2 yet, not perfect yet.
For recovery, you have to press power+home+vol up, then release power button (not the others) once you see the first logo.
As said no kernels for 4.2.2 though the leaked rom is itself very stable for a beta rom .

Yo guys,
I got a S2 I-9100 and I flashed the new Siyah Kernel onto it via Heimdall. The Problem is that if i boot it, the Samsung logo and the Siyah logo appears but afterwards the screen turns black.
Its propably not turned off cos I can't restart it without removing the battery.
Download and Recovery still works. I tried to use the wipe data/factory reset, but that didn't worked.. actually nothing happened.
Also tried to flash the Original Kernel (KF3) but the Phone gets stucked in boot on the Samsung logo..
Would be nice if someone could help me

You may have a problem with rom not supporting your kernel. Get formatted system,cache, data and put dorimanx latest kernel onto your phone via recovery. From this point you should be able to flash any CM rom you can get. If it still persist, go for odin and lastest Samsung Official

Hi,
My old Galaxy S2 (i9100 - rooted with Siyah) randomly rebooted and failed to boot since. I ordered a new Anker 1900mAh battery but nothing doing, same goes for different charger/outlet.
I don't know what could be wrong or what else I could do. Is the data on the internal salvageable at all? Some of it is backed up but most of it no.
Please help me with any suggestions!

I'm starting to think it's probably the Siyah. But I'm not sure what version of Siyah I had on the phone to reflash. Also, will the reflash erase my internal data files?
Please advise.
Bump, can anyone please help me?
Will reflashing the Siyah erase all my internal data? or is there a reflash method via odin that'll keep my internal data?

No, reflashing siyah will not wipe your internal data. You can flash siyah under ODIN, CWM or TWRP. Siyah is not under development any more so I'd advise you to use a different kernel. If your android version is stock jelly bean, go with apolo kernel 4.14. If on kitkat, go with apolo 7.1.
Thanks. I'll just reflash siyah because its what I have and I'm not proficient with GS2. I need to remember what ver I had. Can't use cwm because the phone doesn't boot at all, can't go to recovery. Odin is my only choice here.
