First off, are you able to throw ADB commands to the phone? (a lot of the time when I get stuck in a boot loop I can still throw ADB commands at it), if so, throw adb reboot recovery to reboot into the recovery.
If you can't, remove the battery to turn it off, pop the battery back in, then hold Volume Up, Home, and Power to boot into the recovery.
Once in the recovery do a full wipe.
If you are flashing a ROM it's always suggested to do a full wipe before flashing the ROM.
If wiping doesn't work then restore for a previous backup (I hope you did a backup before you did whatever you did since you weren't being detailed in what you were doing at the time).

I think I can´t enter a recovery mode, when i push volume up+home+power, than a logon screeen of galaxy s2 appears and than nothing, but when i try to enter a odin mode volume down, it works...

I managed to flash Siyah again but didnt help :/

make sure you have your drivers installed kill kies, put phone in download mode start odin connect the phone to the pc using your SGS2 usb cable, flash a stock ROM... try this or this one

Ty, I downloaded files for ICS, but.
My phone keeps doing this...

This problem is happening because you skipped this important step: "factory data reset in recovery"
I'll advise you to backup your important data, then perform a factory data reset.
Problem solved!

Dude. You've started four different threads for this one problem. Stop that.
Now, you say you have an i9100G. I asked you in your other thread (that you never replied to) if you were sure you were using an i9100G firmware. Well, you ALSO say above that you used XXLPQ. Well, that is a firmware for the i9100, and NOT for the i9100G.
Use an i9100G firmware and you will be good.
..sorry i misswritten i use XXLPQ FOR I9100G.. bro i downloaded from sammobile and selected i9100g model and downloaded sammobile xxlpq firmwarre for.i9100g model i also tried ksa and malaysian i9100 g firmware same result

it is always recommended to perform a factory data reset, after updating.
It helps, just try it.

ok.
1. Post your ROM details. Goto Settings - About, and post everything.
2. Do you have ROOT access?
3. Can you attribute the problem to any particular app or event apart from the info you already posted.

1. When you twice updated it, after the problem started, was it via kies or Odin?
2. Can you see the galaxy SII logo when the phone is booting?
3. Do you know how to flash via Odin?

Ok.
1. Visit here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419102
2. Scroll down a little bit,
Download one of these:
CM9 Resurrection Edition for use with Odin:
20120420: Download
20120330: Download
-Download the first one.
3. Read the Odin flashing instruction there just to be double sure.
4. Flash the downloaded file via Odin.
Let me know how it goes.
Ps: Remove SIM before flashing via Odin.
Good luck

hi
Did anybody found solution about the problem ??

[Q] Not sure if bricked or not.

So, I was trying to root my:
Samsung Galaxy S2
i9100g
(Not sure what Rom/ICS/Firmware it had before I tried rooting)
I tried flashing with Siyah Kernel to Root like I had previously done with another i9100, but in turn the S2 now sits at the black boot screen displaying "Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100G" and will not go further.
I've read about 50 or so threads relating to the boot screen problem.
Yes, the device may reach Download mode, but not Recovery mode.
Any help would be extremely helpful.
Thank you.

Hey dude, in the first place u have flashed a wrong kernel on ur I9100G, since siyah doesnt support that model due to difference in hardware alltogether compared to I9100 international and its variants M/P/T.
Ur lucky since ur phone is able to go to Dwnld mode.
Just dwnld a stock firmware meant for I9100G ( u can dwnld the same from www.sammobile.com) and flash the same from Pc Odin to boot ur phone Normally and then try the link below to have a proper root of ur phone

Ps- in the future be carefull while flashing things on ur phone, read before proceeding else u will have an expensive piece of Paper weight with u

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II stuck on boot, possible due to Chainfire 3D. What to do?

Hey guys.
My friend installed the official Jelly Bean update(XWLST) on his Indian Samsung Galaxy S II. He rooted it. He then installed Chainfire 3D, despite my warnings. Now, the phone shows the Galaxy S II logo and a yellow triangle with a ! when the power button is pressed, and then it switches off again. He gave it to me to fix it. I've tried flashing using Odin, no use. He used the Siyah S2 6.0b4.tar file to root it. I tried flashing it using that. Kies does not recognize the device, says it's not compatible with Kies 2.0, I tried factory reset from recovery mode, again, no use. I don't know what else to do. Please help me guys. Thanks in advance,
Androman 117.
Get a stock rom from Samfirmware with Odin, flash it. If it doesn't work, try another one. And another. And another.
That's the only way you're fixing this. NAND could be borked if it won't take a flash.
Also, you're being rather vague; 'I've tried flashing using Odin' - flashed what exactly with Odin ?
