I have an s2.I want to avoid making a nandroid backup. So, if the flashing of a custom rom fails or after, flashing, the phone gets stuck at the boot logo, can i just flash the stock rom directly via odin? Will it harm the phone? Can the phone even go to download mode if its stuck at the boot logo ?

hello,
you could have asked this question in your previous thread instead of creating a new one.
To answer your questions:
1. Yes
# If you follow the flashing instructions in the OP, your phone should not stuck at the boot logo.
First try to perform a factory data reset and reboot again before flashing via Odin
2. No
3. The phone should be able to enter download mode.

yesterday iwasaperson was extremely helpful to me. Thanks. I took my fascinate back to stock 2.1 and allowed it to update to 2.2. I then rooted my phone by flashing CWM recovery using ODIN. (red version) I had installed two files to root of drive one update.zip and the other for rooting the phone Su-----.zip. I ran them using the red version and restarted the phone. The phone is now rooted but I can't get back to CWM recovery.
I tried the following: I have ROM manager and flashed CWM but it wom't take. If I try to go into recovery I get the stock Samsung blue menu. I am thinking I need a different (CWM recovery comptabile) kernel or mod to get this to work.
Can someone help?
You need to flash a kernel other than stock, rebooting with the stock kernel will revert back to blue recovery

This (though in reverse order).
You need to reflash CWM by odin, go into Odin immediately upon the first boot (not using Rom Manager!), and flash a new kernel from the SDcard. The stock kernel will trash CWM if it gets a chance to boot.
saf66. any ones in mind and where I can obtain them. And as if I weren't asking enough questions. (Sorry I know I am) Methods to flash them?
Or any others of you please
Go into development at the top of page open stickies and nitsu has a list of kernels,a well as roms

First off I know I shouldn't have done this before I was sure what I was doing, but I have done it.
I have used chainfires mobile odin pro to flash siyah's latest kernel to my rooted s3. i put the .tar on external sd. Opened mobile odin, opened file, and pressed flash. It said it's dangerous, I pressed continue and the phone immediatly rebooted, and is now stuck on boot loop.
I had never updated the phone from when it first came out, I just rooted and kept stock rom.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
Try to boot into download mode if this works you can flash a stock or custom Rom and kernel through Odin ans it should fix your problem.
Or try to boot into recovery and flash a custom Rom, either way should fix the bootloop.

As a precaution I'm going to ask if you have the American or international model.

Currently in download mode, going to try to install the latest kernel. Do you think that should work, or should I install custom rom?

I would say you just need to flash the kernel if that's all you changed, the Rom should be fine.

Did you choose kernel>open file>flash?

I had used ROM Manager to update CyanogenMod and now it gets stuck in the boot mode. I got it to go into recovery but there is no backups and I had backed up just prior to upgrading. I hooked the USB cable to it and can't see any files at all on the SD card. Any help out there is appreciated in gettig this up and operational again.
If you can go into recovery then wipe everything, boot into download mode, connect to pc and flash stock rom via Odin. Then you can start all over again.
