Hello,
first of all sorry for my english. I try me best but this is not my native language and i hope everyone can read this .
I have a strange Problem with my I9100 SG2.
I can flash a new FW with ODIN e.g. [ROM][ICS Firmwares] I9100XWLPX [29.08.2012][Android 4.0.4] and the Phone runs very well, but i cant flash anything else.
If flash the Siyah Kernel 4.1.5 with ODIN than i got stuck in a bootloop. I can enter recovery mode and do a wipe but this dont fix the bootloop.
If i try to flash anything else in the recovery mode the flash start and run till 40-70% and than it stops.
The only way to recover the SG2 is to flash a new stock FW like the I9100XWLPX and than i can start the phone and the bootloop is gone.
I have a lot experience with different androids devices and this is the first time where i don't have a solution.
Did someone have a Idear what i can try to flash a custom kernel or rom? What is going wrong?
Maybe i can fix it when i flash a 3-part FW with a PIT file.
kind regards,
Preacher
P.S.: I don't found any thread that can help me.
Did someone have a solution ?
many thx,
Preacher
Hy Preacher. So if i get it right this solves your problem:
Ok here is what to do
1) get into download mode and flash siyah kernel via Odin
2) download a rom.zip and put on ur external sd card using a card reader to connect it to ur pc
3) boot into siyah kernel's recovery mode and install zip from sdcard then install the rom u want
It is recommended to wipe data and cache via recovery ( but dont do it if u were on 4.0.4 or were trying to installing it).

I tryed this already but the install process stops in the middle of the progress bar.
Than i can only recover the Phone if i install a Stock ROM via Odin. I used a 4.0.4 an test the memory with a tool from the play store and the emmc brick toll told me that i dont have chip that is responsible for the brick bug.
What happens if the install hold between 40-70% and don't go any further.
many thx,

Hhm ok then. We should go deeper. Please show me the errors you get. Try to install a rom via cm-recovery and try to attach logcat then it crash.
To save a log to a file,
adb logcat > logcat.txt

I tried to flash a firmware via odin and it stucks to factoryfs.img.now i cant open my phone.When im flashing every firmware va odin it stucks at factoryfs.img.i tried to wipe everything from the stock recovery and retry but i had no success.when im flashing kernels i have no error.so i was wondering if i could flash cf-root and then when i will be into recovery push files via adb to internal sdcard.is this possible?if yes tell me how.If not tell me other ways to unbrick my device
Which firmware did you try? Try to flash a stock firmware. Go here and pick up the latest ROM and follow the instructions it is very well explained

i flashed a stock firmware.i tried this and i had no result.if you can answer this i told about cwm and adb i would be very happy
try another cable.
I had similar problem because of a poor cable ordered from e-bay.
even if you are using the stock cable, try another one as it might be damaged.
gokhan thanks for your help but it didn't work.if i format the /system partition will i be able to get into download mode?
I don't see how you could get Odin to recognise your phone in order to format the system partition if you weren't able to get into download mode.
So I guess I'll play Captain Obvious...Can you get into download mode ?
If not, does Odin recognise the phone when you hook the phone up to a PC via a USB cable ? (a long shot I know but I'm trying to think of anything that might work here).

You really need to start giving more information.
Excactly what rom did you tried to flash? And yes, you can just flash CF-Root and start flashing from recovery. If it is possible to push the files true adb, I don't know. But you will have adb for sure in recovery.
And why are you flashing? It looks like you have really no idea what you are doing.
the problem is solved.i flashed a cwm 9 rom via odin and now im ok.now im flashing chechrom.i had checkrom and i undervolted too much.the phone closed but accidenatly i had ticked the set on bot button.my external sd is broken and i didnt have a checkrom backp into my internal sdcard.so i decided to flash an official firmware and then flash again checkrom.this is the story but now my problem is solved so you can lock the thread.thank you all
hello to all xda's
i have for 2 days experience some probs with my sgs2 and i thought of formatting it and then to pass a version in a clear HDD so i went through cwm in mounts and storage menu i have put yes in all the formats then wipe cache/dalvik,i have then re-go to mount and storage menu to mount usb storage for download the rom i want to install but gives me : unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory).what ih ave to do??i need to restore my phone as soon as possible.
Stick it in download mode, flash a stock ROM and never look back.
go to advanced and you will see an option reboot recovery reboot then go backup and restore and go to restore from internal ad and you should see it their ok

After you format your phone you have no firmware inside it.You need a firmware to flash a ROM because ROMs are based on firmwares.
1.Format the phone like you did
2.flash a compatable firmware with the ROM you want to flash
3.Flash the ROM
Done.
HOW TO FLASH A ROM WHEN CANT MOUNT USB STORAGE???never used an ODIN also i have used the recover from internal and nothing happened??
can you get to download mode and do you have Odin on your PC and Kies installed?

i have right now download odin but havent kies installed..
You need to go to the samsung website and download and install the latest version of Kies.This will install the drivers that are needed to use Odin and flash a new stock firmware to your phone.Then you can flash a custom ROM if you want.But you NEED Kies to use Odin.

boot to recovery mode and perform a factory reset. Reboot your phone
Your device should boot now , if the flashing process was error- free.

Install Odin on your PC, get the samsung drivers by installing Kies.
Hold down volume down key, middle of d-pad and power buttons all together while phone is off.
Put a different Rom .zip on your sd card using a PC.
Use Odin to flash clockworkmod to the phone, when fiinshed the phone will boot into cwm.
Use cwm to install the zip you put on the sd.
Reboot into the stable ROM.

I use Odin Multi Downloader v4.34
The data partition not formating would be a cause for concern, if I was you I would try formating it with ClockWorkMod by doing a data wipe/factory reset.
If it was me I would use my computer to put CyanogenMod 7.2 .zip file on the SD (its stable and handy for getting things working)
Most stock ROMS won't flash through CWM.
So to summerise I would try this:
Go into download mode.
Link up with Odin and select your OPS file (make sure GTI5500 OR 5503 appears at top and not the word Android)
Select "One Package" in Odin options
Download a .zip of Clockworkmod for galaxy 5
select it as the One Package and don't touch the other boxes...
let clockworkmod flash into the phone and let it boot into it
now try the data wipe in clockworkmod
install the cyanogenmod zip from the sd and reboot
good luck
I've attached my Clockworkmod Zip file. I use it at least once a week so its good

Yep! There is no key combo for recovery on Galaxy5, if I need to boot recovery and cannot load the rom I just put it in download mode and use odin to reflash clockworkmod, then when its finished it auto boots into cwm and I do whatever I need to
Well i was using Illusion rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2352261&highlight=illusion)
and wanted to switch to the cm10.2 latest nightly, transfered the files to the sd card,
but when I go to cwm (v6.0.3.4) and choose install zip -> Choose from sdcard and I dont see any of my folder/files!
All I have there is :
- 0/
- clockworkmod/
- obb/
and nothing else inside of each folder. I dont have an option to go to external sdcard, and I don't know what to do!
I already wiped all data and my phone won't reboot.
Help please!
bump please I have no phone!
The way I see it, you could either:
1. Flash a stock JB ROM in Odin, root it and install CWM using Philz kernel, then flash CM10.2 after a full wipe.
2. Try a different (or newer) CWM version and see.

How do I change my version of CWM?
And I'm really bad at using odin because last time i used downloadmode and/or Odin was Long time ago (about 2 and a half years ago).
Can you please be kind and direct me to guides instructing how to do so?
Thanks alot!
EDIT: I've managed to find a guide and fixed my phone. Thanks alot
