Tried liquid smooth jb rc3 phone stopped working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I hope this is the right thread to post this.
This morning i tried flashing the new liquidsmooth jb rc3 build on my phone.
This is what i did
1. Wipeclean in cwm recovery
2. Installed the rom zip
3. Installed the gapps zip
4. Installed the walls zip (i gave an error)
5. Rebooted phone
But on rebooting the phone all i saw was the gt n 7000 logo and aftr that black screen came and nothing happened for some time.
So i freaked out and did a nandoid restore. (nandroid rocks !)
Btw my phone was running on stock ics and philz latest kernel when i tried flashing.
Can anyone tell me where i went wrong and what i should be doing??
(for a moment i thought i bricked my phone and that certainly got my pulse overclocked )

Well I got it working .
Apparently for this ROM you have to flash the kernel as well .
Did that and now its working fine.

Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes
Download Da_G's (edit) ATT stock ROM and kernel to your PC
Flash both in Odin
Ensure your phone boots the OS completely
Turn it off after and go back into Odin mode
Flash CWM and ensure Odin reports success
Let it reboot completely
Power off
Hold all three buttons and see if you can reach CWM
Btw, what ROM did you flash in the first place and what were you running beforehand?

Not 100% sure on what Rom i was using but i tried to flash some Rom from the at&t sgs2. .. Some alien something Rom.... And flashed the virus over that.... I was trying to find the best Rom :-/ ...i know dumb idea.... But for some reason.... The roms that I tried from the sgs2 that was ported or flashed with the virus. .. Seems to operate alto more smoother than the normal note roms... I could be bugging.... But yea that's how i felt.... The noteworthy Rom was the only one that I liked but its not ready yet:-(

And where do I find the files.... I only see the stock files from da G

My bad dude, the ATT stock ROM from Da_G is the one u want (got the names mixed up lol).
As long as u can reach Odin, flashing Da_G's stock ROM and kernel should clear up the phone and allow CWM to be installed. Once that all works out u can continue flashing roms.
I totally recommend SauROM though, its smooth as hell.
Let me know how it goes man, hope this helps.

Firmware upgrade issue

I rooted my galaxy s2 the other day and also installed a jelly bean rom called ShoStock 3 on it. I wanted to install a siyah kernal as well so i tried going into clockworkmod recovery but it failed and my phone wouldn't boot. So i fixed it by using download mode and just installing a stock rom but now it says firmware upgrade encoutered an issue because i accidently pulled the usb plug out. Please help it wont work now.

Getting back 4.1.2

Hi to all,
I am newbee to android. After using HTC One V for few months I purchased Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from UAE. It was running Jellybean 4.1.2 having Modem XXLS8. On a fine day for the requirement of built in call recording I rooted my phone and managed to install Omega Rom V23.
All went smooth. But next day I realised that Hindi fonts are not properly displaying and I made a big mistake to flash Omega Rom again. This time I stucked in BootLoop . Everything tried. Finally I gave up
I thought flashing back may work so I flashed available stock Gingerbird rom via odin. Now system is back running Stock Gingerbird Android with modem XXKI4. Then I tried to update GB to JB via OTA and Kies, But OTA and kies refused to update software.
Please give me any solution to get back my 4.1.2 version or tell me any idea to get Custom Rom Omega V23. Will it safe to flash Omega V23 4.1.2 directly on current 2.3.6 rom with Philz latest kernels?

Yes you can, you're gonna have to root it tho.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Thanks. Can I root present 2.3.6 Gingerbird and Install Custom Rom Omega v23 4.1.2 directly? Or I have to reinstall stock version 4.1.2 over current 2.3.6 Gingerbird?

Well, the latest CMW version might be better, is not mandatory to go 4.1.2 tho.

I am not getting it. Please spoon feed me. I will be in debt.
I tried following steps:
I download Omega V23 custom rom and kernel - PhilZ-cwm6-XWLSN-OXX-4.93.6-signed and placed it on SDCard. After going into stock recovery I applied Philz Kernel via Stock Recovery. But getting error in red-
E:Failed to verify whole file signature
E:Signature verification failed
Please give me any solution. I dont have enough previlage to post into Android Development Forum as I am newbee here.

I guess you did not make backup of your original ROM... i would recommend that you install ics first before installing jb or custom jb roms... you can get stock ones samfilmware.. when try installing omega ROM again make sure you back your ROM this time so will not start all over again if a problem occurs at any time had same problem bootloop because of the kernel that was installed just did a full wipe fixed it for me and reinstall over again

Yepp..You are not getting it. System is running GingerBread with Stock Recovery. I can make backup in CWM recovery only. But right now my problem is that Philz Kernel is not installing. It will give me CWM Recovery and it will root the device. Any solution for above error??

help with basic rooting and flashing roms

hello all
i have a gs2 i9100
i rooted it folowing this guide short way (update from recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994544
it installs cwm recovery 4.0.1.5 and supersu.
i tried installing a cm10.1 nightly version for my model,it allways abort with staus 7.
i tried different nightly version,no success.
then i folowed the official cm guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100
i flashed the zimage for cwm recovery via heimdall on linux,it went well then i booted into recovery to check and success.
i didnt want to flash cm at that point (middle of the day) so i rebooted the device and problem:
i could see the samssung boot logo with the yello triangle and then the screen goes black and..nothing.
for now i restored via recovery a backup i made on the older 4.0.1.5 recovery.
i also tried looking for a kernel that matches mine - jhls4 and couldnt find one nor a solution that solved the stsus 7 error.
what could be the problem?
That thread is so old now. More phone details. Firmware you have installed or had installed before you flashed cm? Model of i9100?
Phone model is gt-i9100
Im on stock tw jb 4.1.2
Never installed any other firmware just updated the official with kies.
I rooted it from the stock recovery-installed super user and recovery as update.
The rest is in my first post.
Appriciate your help.

Flash it with philz kernel for root and custom kernel cwm recovery that will let you do anything. Philz is the easy way to root and install cwm to your i9100.
When that's install do the wipes and reboot.
Thanx for your reply
Q: any phils kernel or one that matches mine- jhls2?
2nd Q: can i flash the kenel via recovery ? Or just heimdall?
And if i flash a kernel do i have to flash a rom immedietly or can i still use the stock rom?
Total noob at this.

Flash lss or lsw philz as its just the cwm that's updated in dif versions and yes this will work on your stock 4.1.2 no point in telling you to flash something that won't work on the ROM you have now then if you want to flash custom ROM you can do this from there. Either way is possible with philz . tar for Odin/hem and singed zip for stock recovery:thumbup: reading is the key to flashing well.
Thanx again
I read a lot and got a little confused.
Will do what u suggested.
Hope ill get it right this time.
Cheers.

No problem :thumbup:

[Q] So back to basic tmobile rom how do I get back or cm9 or 10

I had flashed my phone I think to cm7 then to cm9 unofficial by team acid/w semaphore then I was trying to upgrade it to cm 10 with no luck formatted incorrect messed up cache in recovery then tried use odin and that failed maybe due to old semaphore version perhaps.
Anyways it bricked it for minute til I realized odin still detected it when I put it download mode (it didn't show download mode even)
Got it back using a tmobile gingerbread rom. 2.3.6.
Whats the best way to get it back to cm9 or cm10?
Go in recovery mode and flashed cm10 twice, consecutive. There are many great Roms.

T-mobile stopped supporting this phone with Froyo 2.2. If you flashed a T-mobile gingerbread rom then you must have the galaxy s 4g (t959).
