Well first off even if it did work trying to flash anything from kies would leave you in a bootloop. Running a custom roms kills the ability to update that way without going back to stock. Doing a factory reset does not remove a custom rom from the device. Reflash the rom and then boot up.

[Q] Galaxy s2 stuck in boot mode

Hey all, so I have a galaxy s2 (as you may have guessed) and had a friend root it for me a while back with lightning rom ... Not sure if anyone can help me here ...
I am giving the phone to mum, so went and did a factory reset on it, and it apparently ate the OS because it is now just stuck rebooting itself, it wont actually load into the OS at all.
I've gotten it into recovery mode, but nothing i do seems to work, it just says it can't find files, or sits on a screen with a pretty little icon.
Is there any way I can download the OS again, or somehow get it back onto the phone?
Cheers for your help in advance!

Find a rom that is installed through odin, either a stock ki8 rom or a modded one, there's plenty in the dev sections.
do you have CWM installed if it is then mount usb storage from CWM menu push the ROM in your mobile from your PC. I would recommend this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290468
then install as the instructions given on the first page
P.S odin works good too, your choice
There is a sticky just at the start page called bootloop. Take advantage of that.

[q] help!! Note down

So ,im sorry but its a long story. Hopefully someone can help. My note is Rooted Ive been using TWRP. Everything had been fine until 2 days ago. I tried flashing a ROM i found on Goomanger.( I had been running liquid smooth) just wanted to try something different. Anyways it got stuck on a boot loop. Cant remember the name of the Rom. Anyways i was able to get back to recovery, thankfully. But when i wiped and flashed back to liquid smooth it would say optimizing apps, then it would reach a certain number then reboot and star all over again. So then i tried another Rom and the same thing happened. tried flashing back to stock rooted but it would turn on then completely crash and star booting up again. So finally i was able to flash paraandroid 4.1.2 and Gapps, but here is the kicker i have no service (AT&T) says cannot locate network, my IMEI is gone basically the cellular isn't working. Everything else works fine WiFi,apps, camera. Just cant make calls. I really need your guys help please.:crying:
If you have a suggestion please let me know, i hate using an old Iphone

Just odin back to stock. Get a complete factory stock image from the main sticky thread and flash it with Odin and Download Mode. There's a bug on one of the TWRP versions with 4.3-based ROMs that will put it into a bootloop by breaking device reboots. I was unable to flash my way out of the problem and was forced to do a complete reimage which solved all the problems and put me right back to clean-out-of-the-box state, then I reinstalled TWRP (though an older version before the boot loop bug) and re-flashed my custom ROM. The package I used was the stock image and Odin tool all in one .exe, just plug in to download mode and run it and it flashed bootloader, recovery, system, kernel, etc. all back to stock.

Thanks thats what i did, I just basically had to use KIES to use the emergency recovery, then root my phone again. My question is what version of TWRP causes this? cause i used the newest version i could find off GOO. My other concerne is, will it accept or be safe to use a custom ROM? Well i gues ill find out :laugh: THANKS AGAIN!
Everyone with the sgh-i717 is having problems with the latest TWRP and the most stable version is 2.5.0.0. Go with that one or you'll be starting all over again I imagine. And don't just stop at the download link in the OP's, read the thread and find out what's going on. The problems with TWRP have been going on for a while and the development threads have a lot of comments about the latest build causing problems. Good luck! :good:

I might have bricked my phone - Please help me recover it!

Hello,
I think I made a big error when attempting to install the Hyperdrive rom. I rooted the phone with Odin, then installed Safestrap. Then I rebooted into recovery to install the rom. I did everything perfectly up to this point. But then I decided I was going to wipe the cache. Except I accidentally wiped EVERYTHING. So I cannot boot into the phone because presumably the OS is deleted. The phone just freezes on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" splash screen.
I made a single mistake and now I cannot use my phone.
I think I could probably use Odin to flash the original OS on the phone right? But I would need the file and instructions on how to do it.
I really need my phone on a regular basis so if any of you could tell me what my options are and help me to recover, I would appreciate it.
If I could restore to MI1, that would be the easiest because then I could simply flash the Hyperdrive rom like I was planning.
Thanks. I hope someone can help me.
If it boots up to a splash screen, I'm pretty sure you can hold vol down+power+home to boot into download mode and odin.

there are some youtube videos on using ODIN and there are several discussion threads in XDA concerning odin and installing stock images back to the phone

[Q] Help PLEASE!

Hi,
i recently installed CM on my samsung s3 using the installer. All went all. Until after about 2 weeks, the phone was not charging correctly. So i went into the settings and performed a factory reset. No i had not installed or used clockworks to back up my phone. This left my phone in an unusaul state, where there was no home screen, i could not access my apps, although i could access the quick settings tab. Moving on....i followed a guide to try and restore my phones orginal rom using odin. According to odin all was successful, however my phone was stuck in a boot loop and so would not continue into phone. i read up and saw if i installed clockwork i could wipe cache and this might help the phone. so i installed clockwork using odin again. however when i try and access clockwork through the recovery mode, it only loads into odin mode? so i am unable to load clockwork as well i think. I am very new and this and i know i have probably made many mistakes but we learn through our mistakes. So my question is: Could someone please help me get my phone back to its orginal state!? Thankyou very much for anyone that can offer their time and help,
Nick

This link may help you. fix-s3-to-factory-unroot-stock-recovery-t2323847. Do it at your on risk.

Need help please, rooted, soft bricked, and now.. no idea what this state is called.

So the first thing was I rooted a Samsung S4 SGH-M919.
I used Chainfire's files and Odin. it worked just fine.
Gave the phone to my wife but the firmware 4.4.2 was clearly outdated that none of the apps she played worked, everything just froze on her or crashed.
So I decided to install a custom rom, this led me to Imperium Lollipop 5.0.1
Well that in turn made the phone unbootable. It would continuously go into these 4 circular swirling balls and get stuck there. I cant even get into Recovery Mode. Only Download Mode.
So this made me do some searching and I dl'ed SGH-M919 stock firmware 4.2.2
I used Odin to flash that and it failed.
So now the phone boots into a screen that telling me to uses Kies to fix the issue.
I'm at a loss what to do next.
Can someone give me the necessary steps to fix the phone and where I intended to go with this?
Much appreciated. thanks.

Are you sure that you have the right bootloader installed for the lollipop rom? Did you factory reset before installing custom rom? Try to wipe davlik after installation completes before restarting device. Also follow the instructions given by the rom thread op.
