Hi everyone.
That's my problem.
Last month I bought on the net a used Galaxy s2.
It arrived with this configuration
android version 2.3.7
number build MIUI 1.12.02
Kernel 2.6.35.14-Siyah v.2.1.1
modem XXKI4.
I decided to restore factory settings but after that the phone doesn't boot and I can't get into recovery mode (but I have no problem with download mode).
I thought maybe I do something wrong to get into recovery mode but I press simultaneuosly vol up+home+power for more than 30 sec without results.
I tried to flash the same kernel with odin but nothing to do.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help.
Try re-flash a root kernel with Odin such as Chainfire's CF-root.
It will re-install the custom CWM Recovery, then you can re-flash the ROM.zip with CWM Recovery directly from the sdcard.
Just read the instructions and FAQ on each thread exactly. If your not sure which CF-root kernel, just try.
Else, you can return to stock by flashing a ROM from Intratech's thread with Odin.
You will then have to re-root (if that's what you want).
Why cf-root? Hes on miui, he should flash another version of siyah/fluxi/xcell69 kernel with pc odin to make it work. Download mode - odin 1.85 - PDA = kernel - flash.
Btw if he did factory reset on recovery mode, its not a big problem, but if he did via in phone menu under 'about phone', i dont think my method above will work. That factory reset wiped everything and he should flash back to stock with odin.
Rom : Official MIUI 2.1.6
Kernel : Xcell-69X
Modem : XXKP8

I said "such as...."
Other than that, your just repeating repeating what I already said. Cheers

Firstable I thank you for your answers.
I solved my problem flashing a more recent Siyah Kernel.
After that the phone boots and now I can get into recovery mode,too.
No worries.

Turn off the device, remove the battery, wait about 90 seconds an insert a jig (if you have it). If you don`t have a jig do the above, insert the battery and go in download mode (volume down + power button + menu button) and flash a stock rom with Odin 1.85. Roms`s can be found on sammobile.com or in Intratech`s thread (original development).
Good luck

Vol up + home + power is recovery mode, actually.
Vol down + home + power is download mode.

Um... what? You flashed an I9000 ROM to your I9100? Is that what you're saying?

Stuck Galaxy S2
Hi,
I'm desperate about my Galaxy S2. Can't start or reach CWM menu after a failed firmware upgrade.
Tried ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4 and CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5. Odin did its job successfully but I can't get CWM (Vol.up + Home + Power)
Only the boot up image. I can go to download mode only with a jig that doesn't reset counter.
A few days ago I got access to the CWM menu.
What am I doing wrong?
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you
Carlos (Portugal)

hi.. plz help me to fix this??
I recently purchased a used S3 and wanted to clear previous owners data so I performed a factory reset, unfortunately the phone never came back on even after removing the battery. When I press power home and volume down phone goes to recovery but it is in chinese, I can see restore from SD card but when I do it it says cant mount from SD card, have I toasted the phone or is there a way to recover, I am a complete NOOB so if you can help please keep it simple.PS I called Samsung serviceand they said I would have to send the phone to Hong Kong as they would not service it here in the USA
download a ROM from the forum and try flashing via ADB in your computer.

Sometimes it happens that even after pressing that combination of buttons one will still enter in a RECOVERY mode not download mode. so TO THE OP: Please confirm that are you entering in download mode or recovery mode?...

the phone goes into recovery mode.
Can you not go into download mode?
If so just get the latest Firmware ( only the latest available on Kies ) from Sammobile and flash it with Odin, then go in recovery and do factory reset and clear cache and reboot, see how that goes!
change your CSC to match the ROM so you can use Kies latter on (ex: BTU with BTU)
On you call pad *#272*you IME here# then chose to match your Firmware.
I hope this helps

What? Are you serious?
Odin needs DOWNLOAD MODE. smh.
And as well, flash a ROM via adb?! Dafuq!?
OP: boot into download mode, volume down + home + power.
Flash a stock firmware via odin and you should be good to go.

You should press Vol+ + Home + Power.
Try flashing the kernel(.tar) with odin you used in C7 and see if that lets you into recovery or boots up.
Or you may have to get a stock rom for your model/region etc off sammobile and flash with odin.
That rom manager once gave me 4 hours work on my x10i.....

Hi!
That happened to me once. I used odin to flash stock rom and solved the problem. Don't use rom manager... It only gives trouble.
Cheers!!
sorry to bother but how do i flash to stock rom??

Hi' you really shouldn't worry and try to avoid flashing stock rom. you flashed GB rom over ICS rom and the problem is your data is full of stuff that's preventing you from booting the rom. You're tryong to go into recovery the wrong way. Hold together voulme up (NOT down) + home + power and it should boot your recovery just fine. Then just wipe data. the rom should boot if it was installed. If not download another rom and flash it through recovery.

Option 1, Boot to recovery (Vol up + Home + power) and restore a backup.
Option 2, Boot to recovery and flash a custom rom (if you can get one on your ext SD)
Option 3, Boot to download mode (Vol down + home + power) and flash a stock rom via Odin.

There's no reason why you can't however that's hosted on hotfile which is an extremely slow server (Sammobiles always posts there) download and use this program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032437 it downloads the firmware from Samsung's faster servers, you can also get the one for your country if you want that.
I left my phone by itself for a while. When i went to go picl it up it put it self in recovery mode and now it doesnt boot up, its gets stuck on the boot logo.
In download mode is the product name blank?
If it still says i9300 then reflash your rom and factory reset, with luck that will enable it to boot again.
