I went from Shostock2 ICS to Shostock Gingerbread--flashed through recovery, everything seemed fine, rebooted a couple of hours later and the phone froze at the "Samsung Galaxy S II" screen. As of now I have NOT been able to get back into recovery though the volume rocker/power method ... Nothing happens at all. Half the time my phone wont boot, period, but if I pull the battery and put it back it will boot the first time into that same screen. Not at home so I can't connect it to my computer but if I can't boot into recovery not sure how I'm going to get my PC to recognize the phone .... (sigh.)
Please advise.
EDIT: Finally managed to get into recovery via volume rocker ... Don't know why it worked this time after failing over and over before. Have reflashed the Gingerbread zip ... Keeping my fingers crossed that it works out.

Boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, that should get it to boot after you flash the GB zip!

I recently installed JAC's kernel, and today I was getting force closes on nearly all of my apps. Even market would FC. So I did a nandroid (the nandroid was with the stock kernel), and now the phone won't boot past the Vibrant Samsung screen. Recovery menu works however. I'm guessing the issue is that I shouldn't have flashed a nandroid that was non-JAC kernel.
I have absolutely no idea what to do in this situation. Can anyone help? I really appreciate it, thanks.
UPDATE:
I flashed the Official T-Mo ODIN images, and got the phone working again. I'm not sure if there was some other way without wiping the phone, but this way worked.
I did a nandroid recovery last night of my stock image and it took about 5 minutes to get past the Vibrant Samsung screen, but it ultimately made it past it.
Hm, I must have been not paitient enough. I didn't count but it felt like I waited 4-5 minutes.
I can NOT get past this screen or into download or recovery mode... All I get is a spinning wheel... tried to downgrade from CM7.... I tried everything Ive read to try to get into download mode...any ideas?

I was finally able to get into download mode..... I spent hours getting my google on reading all the different was to get into download mode...Now my phone would not boot past the "Samsung Vibrant" screen and all the different button combos wouldnt work... Here is what what worked for me..
1 I ungluged the phone from the laptop and removed the battery to make sure the phone was off...
2 I held down BOTH vol+ AND vol-
3 While holding down BOTH vol keys I plugged in the USB and BAMM!!!!!! download mode.....
I hope this helps someone.....
didnt think nandroid backed up the kernel
so doing nandroid to get back to the kernel you were on before wouldnt have done anything
I recently installed a gingerbread rom Lidroid. it was working ok till i realized i could not stand some bugs. I decided to try cyanogen that was released today. It looked like it installed fine but the phone is stuck trying to install clockwork recovey. it keeps going on and looping at the same screen. the last message it shows before it reboots off is "Replacing stock recovery with Clockworkmod" it just keeps looping doing the same thing. I have tried to get into download mode without success. I have been able to put my phone in download mode the past couple times i have run into trouble. Now i simply cant be able to do it. Any help?
I dont know how it happened but after trying for the past 5 hours, i have been able to get it to work. I took the battery out inserted it back in. I held the volume down button and the power button together. i immediately plugged the phone into USB cable while still holding Vol down and power button. After 10-15 seconds, it brought up the clockworkrecovery. I Wiped everything and the cache. I then tried to reinstall cyanogen(the one that brought all this in the first place) because it was the only one on my sd card. It installed and booted up and now i have CM 7. I can also successfully get into Download Mode
Am not sure what i did, but if anyone can run into such a problem you might try this.
So I've been using Kang's ICS preview for about a week, and I really liked it, except from some bugs such as freezing after not using it for a few hours.
Today when I got back from school, (not used the tab for 7 hours) I tried to turn it on but I couldnt get past the loading screen, so I turned it off by holding the power button for a few secs.
Now I just cant get it to load up normaly, its just goes to the bootscreen, stucks, then its impossible to turn it off.
I tried going in to CWM and wipe data/cache but that freezes too.
Is there any other way to wipe it and install another rom like Overcome?
Mine did this as well. It would hit the Samsung loading screen and never go any further. I basically had to unroot it and take it back to stock via ODIN. Hopefully this works for you.
Hit up this link and download the big blue link at the top labeled DOWNLOAD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971&highlight=odin
Follow the directions to get into the Download Mode, then jump down the unrooting part.
After its done with the download it will reboot automatically. Soon as it does this make the tablet go into Recovery Mode. It should go through a script and reboot automaticly. Again don't let it boot normally, make it go into Recovery Mode. I think it took a few times for me and then it eventually went into Recovery. I then did a factory reset and rebooted. Now I have an unrooted Samsung firmware. Back to scratch though, but fine with me! I was getting worried I wouldn't be able to get it back.
Oh...and this process will wipe your internal memory as well.
Hi
I used the factory reset function on my tab a couple days ago to delete all apps and such and upon reboot it was stuck at the slowly flashing Samsung logo and would proceed no further. I left it for a good hour and a half in that state before I tried hard resetting it but no dice. I've had it do this before when I first rooted it, but unlike that time it doesn't replay the whole boot animation, just the logo part at the end of the animation. I managed to get it in clockwork mod or bootloader whatever that function is and cleared all the caches and did a reboot recovery (i believe thats what it was called) but upon reboot it did the same exact thing. So after that I gave up and went to bed, but the next day when I went back at it again it wouldn't even turn on. After messing around with the power button and volume button trying to get into recovery mode it finally turned on but went to the battery screen with no other actions. I've tried several times to get it into recovery mode but it either wont turn on or it just goes to the battery screen. I have it plugged into my pc at the moment and apparently it is in recovery mode or something because Odin recognizes it. Says [0:COM3] and the box is yellow, but the screen never turns on though when holding the power button and volume button while it's plugged into a pc, the pc recognizes something plugged into the USB slot. My pc is only recognizing it as a modem and will do nothing else with it.
I have the Starburst rom and the overclocked kernel installed and would like to either revert it to stock rom or perhaps the AOKP rom, milestone 6. Is there any way to do this if I can't boot it into a state where I can access the SD card on my pc? All the guides I've found always require I put files on the sd card to flash in clockwork recovery mod. Thanks for any assistance
Edit: Solved it myself, feel free to delete this post. Thanks!
Hey, guys. I woke up this morning, and I didn't have audio on my phone. I rebooted, and now my phone is sitting indefinitely at the CM9 loading screen and will not move past. I've let it sit for half an hour, and nothing. I've pulled the battery three times...nothing.
I figure the best thing I can do is figure out somehow to get back to stock, but my issue right now is that I can't find a stock ICS ROM from AT&T, only GB. And even if I did, I'm not sure exactly what to do since the phone is stuck booting.
Any ideas?
Thanks a ton.
You can always go back to stock 2.3 and upgrade to ICS through Kies. Are you able to get into download mode?
Hold both volume buttons down while turning on the phone.
Keep holding until your recovery screen appears.
Wipe cache and dalvich, reflash same ROM.
A factory reset from recovery, upgrade your recovery. . .
