[Q] Brick/ Boot Loop - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've always used custom roms on my galaxy. I was even using in dual-boot, a Jelly Bean Revolt and other stock. I was testing a new stock, and flashed it with Odin Mobile. I ended up losing custom. Since then, I can no longer flashing custom roms, even having problems flashing a new kernel. I use the CWM, do the wipes and flash the* rom, but after the reboot, it starts a boot loop with the galaxy s2 logo. The phone is inoperable. At least the download mode works, and I ended up going back to stock a few times. I even tried and flash another custom roms, but the same problem happens.
Anyone know how to help??

Flash a 3-parted stock firmware and activae "re-partition" in Odin.
After this flash a rooted kernel .tar (cf-root, speedmod, etc.) via Odin.
Now start flashing again.
Hope this works.

I've read about emmc brick. And this problem started after using a LQ6 4.0.4 stock rom.
I even used the "emmc brick check", and it shows "YES. Insane chip".
I flashed now a 2.3.6 stock rom. But i haven't tried to flash another custom rom yet.
Should i proceed as you say???
And sorry for my noobness, but what is a 3 parted stock rom?

it contains a .pit file for re-partition and 2 other files,but u should be carefull in using the .pit file though, since it could potentially hardbrick ur device ma8
instead try updating ur device from GB 2.3.6 to a stock v4.0.3(do not flash any 4.0.4 ICS firmware) ICS firmware either thro 'KIES' or 'ODIN', then root ur phone and try installing a custom ICS rom of ur choice and see

I'm updating to a 4.0.3 through odin. After root, can i install directly a Jelly bean rom?

I've already updated to 4.0.3
If i'm flashing Jelly Bam Rom for an example, do i need to install these kernel before, since the rom already has it in the AROMA installer???
And should do the wipes before it/??
Thanks!

It only worked with with previous instalation of dorinmax kernel. So i had to use Revolt Jelly Bean Rom.
When i tried to flash Jelly Bam Rom, got into galaxy s2 loop, after reboot.
At least, i've got one custom rom.
Now it's so much more difficult to install a rom on my phone. Only because i used that 4.0.4.
There's no way back, right?
My warranty ends in November 30th.

That's why I said to completely go back on a stock firmware with Odin.
But 3 parted (and for sure with .pit-file then, forgot to say this) and check repartition.
But u have to choose... A phone which turns screen on an just looping or a chance from 80% to 20% for getting phone working again or bricking it.
I personally hadn't any prob til now, but only went back 4-5 times ins 2-3 years (also did the same with SGS before SGSII)
So u got my answer u have to choose.
Anyway u can send it back because warranty and if they fix it, it's fine... If not u can try it by urself anyway

[Q] S2 noob question

H all
I've had quite a bit of experience with modding my old SGS. I have recently acquired a S2
Anyway it's running stock 4.0.4 can i just go ahead and flash SiyahKernel? Then i can install a custom
rom (MIUI). Or will i have to root before flashing Siyah?
Not a complete noob lol.but seems a little different to the old S
Cheers
Siyah is an already rooted kernel, so as soon as you install Siyah on ur device, u'll also get root.
Try flashing a safe kernel asap, since your stock 4.0.4 is highly dangerous when it comes to wipe data. In fact, your device will get an instant brick if you wipe.

I want to buy S2

Hi S2 user, :angel:
I will buy a new S2 phone soon. I need a little help from you guys. I need to know something about S2 :laugh:
My old phone is Xperia Arc S. This phone need following step to flash kernel and rom.
Kernel:
For flash a new kernel, I need to unlocked the bootloader first. Then this phone can flash any kernel anytime. But unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty.
Rom:
For flash a new rom, as long as the rom does not need to have specific kernel, in other word, stock based rom, no unlocked bootloader required. Just install the CWM and flash the rom.
How about S2 guys? Do I need to unlock something before flash kernel and rom? Can someone explain clearly or likes how I explain my old phone.
p/s- i read in some thread, doing a factory reset in cwm will make S2 brick? hard brick? can't even power on the phone. OMG is it true?
its very scary because in Xperia Arc S, i always flash a new rom. flasholic
I don't want my new S2 brick
I hope you guys can help me. Thanks

You don't have to unlock. Just download Odin and flash all the ROMs/kernels you want. As for the cwm brick bug, your phone will only brick if you factory reset through CWM in 4.0.4. In other versions you should be fine.

The brick Bug problem by 4.0.4 only with Stock Kernel ! when you have 4.0.4 on your phone you flash a save Kernel (Siyah, Dorimanax .....) with Odin (only Odin not Cwm )
and it was save .After you can flash wath you want

I see. So the brick bug actually come from the kernel inside firmware 4.0.4. Not the entire 4.0.4 firmware. Is other custom kernel likes you mention (Siyah, ..) is 100% safe?

You factory reset when installing ROMs to make sure there are no errors. Plus with siyah kernels, you can't be 100% sure your phone won't brick when factory reset in CWM. Best is to flash 4.0.3 before doing anything else.

Guys.. 1 more question.
When I get my S2, I plan to flash custom rom like aosp or aokp but not stock rom.
Do I need to root my S2 first before flash any rom? Because my Xperia Arc S, I do not need to root because root come inside with the custom rom zip. So when I flash a new rom, my Xperia automatically root. No need to do other step.
I'm curious about this because I see in some thread, talking about cf root or something like that. The thread is very updated. Looks like it very necessary to do it at least once to have root before flash any custom rom.
Please explain for me about this root. Thanks guys.

I'm not sure about CF root though. Although the ROM I am in now has built in kernels, I still think its best to root first as some ROMs may not have the built in kernel (never searched other ROMs not entirely sure). I might recomment siyah kernel though

Some people want to simple root their phone and don't care too much for custom roms and stuff. So for such people, they can simply root their phone using one of the many rooting methods mentioned.
However, if your primary aim is to install a custom rom/ kernel, you can use Odin to flash a custom kernel on your phone. (like siyah, dorimanx, Philz, the list goes on..) and you'll have root. Thereafter you can install a custom rom compatible with the kernel. Earlier on it was simple. Flash siyah or dorimanx and any custom rom will work on it. Kinda like a 'one size fits all' deal. However, right now with new mali drivers etc, some versions of a kernel are reqd based on which rom you plan to install. (JB with new mali drivers or JB without those new mali drivers/ICS)
CF-Root is the method I'd used..but right now it's not recommended, since if you're on certain 4.0.4 firmware, that is susceptible to the emmc brickbug I'm sure you've read about. Siyah, dori, etc kernels are safe.

For S2 we can. Because it won't increase your flash counter. But I never tried flashing through CWM.

There are two ways of flashing a kernel.
1. Use the .tar version of the kernel and flash via Odin
(the same way you'd flash the cf-root kernel you'd mentioned in a post above. I'll assume you know the steps as they're mentioned in chainfire's post. Or there are many posts on that topic)
Advantages: tried and tested route, simple one step method. You're rooted and have a custom kernel in about 30 secs.
Disadvantage: You rely on Odin and the connection to your computer which some don't trust. Increases flash counter.
2. Use the .zip version of the kernel and flash via CWM.
Since in this case you need CWM to start off with, you can use Rachmat3's method described HERE to get temporary CWM first.
Advantages: No computer needed. Everything happens through your phone. Flash counter isnt increased.
Disadvantages: Can be a little finicky at times..but you'll get there eventually. Involves 2 steps. First get temporary CWM, then install custom kernel via cwm.
You can start off with a very popular kernel. Gokhanmoral's siyah kernel.Both the zip and tar versions are available downloadable from HERE

Another disadvantage of "not using" odin is when you cant enter cwm.
I use cwm and mobile odin.I flashed a kernel and couldnt access cwm nor phone would boot.
So I had to fix it using my pc via odin.

[Q] siyah galaxy s 2 question

You can flash it with Odin. Read about it first, so you won't end up bricking it because you've missed something. But if you follow the correct steps you won't brick it.

Make sure you dont perform and wipes or cleans before flashing siyaah kernal. Your on 4.0.4 ics which the stock kernal that has the brickbug. I repeat be careful not to wipe, clean or backup anything before you install siyaah kernal. After you have, then its all good mate. Good luck.

Search for nuke script and see if you can nuke your device.
FIND OUT, don't perform it without knowing if it's meant for your device.

you could try Blazing Kernel, it can be flashed via stock recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113545.
Or you could also flash original GB and upgrade to JB either through OTA or KIES.

I have tried that two methods, Flashing GB (everything works great), flashing ICS (everything works great too), and then JB trough OTA and the touch screen doesnt work properly. I have tried the last Blazing Kernel too without success.
Thanks for the help.
Any ideas?
Try stock kernel. Customs aren't ready yet.

The stock Kernel file is already on the Stock JB Odin file?

Dosent work either. :/
We have the same problem dude, touch screen not working properly after stock jb (xef) flash but working flawlessly when phone is plugged. I can't have a custom rom above 4.2.1, else I have the problem. Now I'm on CM10.1 4.2.1 and can't leave it because of this, the official rom I want is the official.
Did you got the screen of your phone replaced ? Because mine was and I was wondering if it was that.

Not sure if it was replaced because I bought it used on ebay.
But are you using CM10.1 4.2.1 without touch screen problems? Can you tell me the date of the release so I can try to flash my phone with that ROM?
Thanks
Yeah without touch screen problem. It's 20130213 nightly

I just find the 20130214. Is that one? I will try it.

[Q] Help! Did I brick my phone after Odin/Siyah?

Apologies for the desperate newbie question, but here goes--
I have followed the instructions in the stickied tutorials or tried to follow them so far. I rooted my SGH-i777 using framaroot. No problem there.
I got Mobile ODIN and the latest siyah CWM. I flashed the kernel.
When I try to power on I get stuck at "SAMSUNG" and then phone appears to power off.
I can get into recovery mode using vol up, vol down and power. I see the Siyah screen, etc. But that's as far as I can go.
HELP!
It seems to be that you flashed the wrong kernel what kind of ROM are you running touchwiz or aosp

Thanks for your response. I flashed the latest Siyah kernel after reading the "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!!" thread. FWIW in recovery mode it says "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah"
I had actually factory reset my SGH-i777 before rooting and flashing so I was running the Touchwiz that comes stock with the SGH-i777.
Any steps I can take to get out from under this rock? :crying:

Yes. Not to worry.
It sounds like the system is incompatible with the kernel. You didn't say which version of the OS you were running before you installed the kernel. Do you remember what it was? Which stock comes with the phone would depend on how old the phone is.
How to proceed depends on what you want to do. If you want to install custom firmware, then I would suggest that you flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel, meaning one that is compatible with the system that you chose.

It was 4.1.2. The phone was from near launch but I've upgraded the OS as Samsung has released them.
Ultimately I'd like to end up with CM10.1, but obviously that's a secondary concern at this point to a working phone
Sorry for being dense, but can you explain what you mean by "flash one of the stock plus root packages with Odin, and then use Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro to install the correct custom kernel?" Or point me to a thread/post that does so? Thanks again :good:

Here it is (the stock + root rom): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322046
It doesn't hurt to do some looking.
Use Odin v1.85 for the flashing (google it).
Then find a kernel for your phone (don't try Siyah again :b), like for example, Entrophy's kernel, and flash the zimage file using mobile odin.

OK. The AJK v3.0 NoSwap kernel is the only kernel compatible with stock AT&T JB 4.1.2. However, unless you can get it onto your sd card, it won't do you any good at this point.
So I would suggest you flash UCLL6 stock plus root which is 4.0.4 from here. The OP has the complete guide, and links to working custom kernels. Once you get it up and going with a custom kernel, you can then flash CM 10.1, or anything else you want.
Edit: Cooked v1.6 as suggested by azeem40 is not Odin flashable. It is a CWM flashable zip, so you would have the same issue getting it onto your sd card. The above is your quickest route.
