[Q] Help please - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a little problem with my SGS 2. I had ICS stock ROM with Syiah Kernel it was fine, yesterday I installed the last version of Resurection Remix with Aroma and Syiah kernel. Today I wanted to flash an ICS stock firmware, everything was fine until the phone first boot, it entred on bootloop ( on S logo and its effect ). I tried 3 different ROMs from sammobile and even flash with .pit, but the same problem. What can I do? Thanks a lot

Sometimes it takes up to 15 minutes on the first boot. Did you wait that long? Is your phone rooted? If so, try latest Dorimanx kernel and RootBox 3.2.

Dorimanx 7.17
Modem BVLP7
RootBox 10/11 Nightly

Before Downgrading or upgrading with Diff version of Android build ( ICS > JB or JB > ICS) its better to do a Wipe Data/Factory reset to remove all the traces of previous install for a successfull flash of the new one
Try the same and see

Kernel problem? Any help?

Hi guys i have a little dout about it
i've been flashing a few roms lately like the RESURRECTION and the FOXHOUND
my first room was the resurrection 9.5 an it was perfect but when i flash the 9.7 been havin kernel panic message and a few problems when typing messages in programs like Whatsapp where the background of the typing box shows Gray and all the hold press in here the menu shows BLACK and the letters black too, i have to guess whats the option i'm lookin for, (like the attached screenshoots)
then i though it was the rom so i flash another one that i hate it, then i flash FOXHOUND 0.5 and it runs well but have the same trouble with tex box and popup messages also some crashing promblems like the RESURRECTION, so by discarting it cant be the roms.
now thats the question it is the KERNEL?
my phone says i have
[email protected] #3
im not sure what kernel i installed it when i first install the stock ICS LPB to root the phone.
Any ideas? and what can i do?
MANY THANKS!!
Did you wipe before flashing? And if the problem occurred after some time then it's not kernel. If it happened after a kernel flash then it's kernel (although I doubt it).
You can always flash another kernel.

I wipe everything before every flash including dalvik cache thats what bothers me
and I've already flashed the latest Chainfire 5.4 kernel through CWM and the problem still there with my current ROM (foxhound)
the problem happens when i flash the RESURRECTION 9.7 and still there so thats why i think it wasn't the rom because it can be three roms in row with the problem.

[Q] Brick/ Boot Loop

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'll try what you're saying.
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!

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] I can't install a 4.1.2 ROM anymore?

So i have X-treme ROM which is android version 4.2.2, and i want to switch to OMEGA ROM which is samsung base 4.1.2. but it seems to stuck on the loading screen. and yes, i did wipe data and factory reset and cashe and dalvik cashe (sorry if i spelled that wrong). now im not asking that omega isnt working. (i would then go ask the developer) im asking that, does upgrading to 4.2.2 prevents to switch back to 4.1.2? because it didnt also happened to me with OMEGA, but with others ROMS that have sammy base. and i also tried to flash 4.1.2 with odin all new clear without any root and ROM. but didnt work. so, does 4.2.2 prevent me to switch back to 4.1.2?
I have the same issue. MIUIv5 is based on 4.1.2 stock too and it does boot up. I think you could give a shot restoring a stock rom and flashing rom from base

Help Wanted! Going from GB 2.3.5 to Omega AOKP v12 rom, how do i proceed?

Well, i know how to root, how to flash a kernel and rom and so on as i did it on my last SGS2. BUT, my last phone used ICS and this phone uses GB 2.3.5.
Well, i thought i just would root the phone, flash Siyah V5.0.1 and then the rom BUT after i flashed in Siyah, the phone wont start?! I boots trough both Siyah/Samsung logos but then it just turns white?!
What is it that i have to do to get my phone working with Omegas newest ROM and also with the newest Neatrom 4.8??
Do i need the dorimanx 9.sometin kernel for the newest OmegaROM? Which kernel for
I do have the insanechip and as i remember Siyah was the safest kernel last time i did theese kind of things?
So, can someone kindly guide me trough this as I am sure that I am missing something that f**ks everything up..
Thanks in advance //Mathias

Read the OP of the Omega thread. I imagine that'd be the steps, but you're always better off reading the OP.
Everything went fine, thanks.
