Help guyz,
I was trying to use the MEdia scanner bug-fix on XXLSJ as given here by modding the AOI-Xtreme MOD by ICS-XD
Then, I reflashed the Simplistic LSJ version(clean install) and then flashed the modded AOI MOD.
I think I went wrong somewhere and landed in a bootloop.
I tried a lot to reboot into recovery but I failed.
I tried removing the battery and rebooting but no use.
Also, adb won't recongnize my device (maybe coz it's still on bootanim)
I tried a lot but am unable to start my phone.
My phone IS an I9100 International version.
Please help.

and press thanks of I helped

what do you mean restored backup, how do you restored backup, do you not lose everything when flashing with new ROM through ODIN?

yesterday I was about to flash with stock ROM through ODIN, but will i lose all my notes (stock samsung apps)?
thanks for the replies

I flashed stock Rom through Odin, then flashed Siyah kernel over it.
After this, I restored a backup I created before the f**k up happened.
You'll loose your notes if you don't have a Backup

Hello guys,
I would have not made this post without a reason! I have searched the froum and used google for over 2 days but dont have a solution for my problem that's why i opened the thread!
My SGS2 was on CyanogenMod 7 and i decided to try the leaked version of 4.0.3 (I9100XXKP8 to be exact) so i preformed a full backup via recovery!
After this i flashed 4.0.3 using ODIN and used it did a root on it and istalled CM9. I did this just to see the real difference between the 2 firmwares. Everything worked great i had no problems at all.
After i was finished playing around with the firmwares i decided to restore my CM7 backup! I had no problems booting into recovery and the restore worked fine! no errors or anything. After i selected to reboot my device i got a Kernel Panic and couldn't do anything!
So i flashed KI3 stock from sammobile and rooted it via CF and then again i tried to install CM7 which goes fine through the install no errors! when i select to reboot the phone i have the ''Samsung galaxy s2 screen'' in a reboot loop! I reflashed the phone again with KI3 and tried again i followed the instruction step by step including wiping data/factory reset and wiping cache the same thinghappens. I tried to restore the CM7 back which i made, the restore process goes through but i get a kernel panic! So i reflashed KI3 again i thought it could have been the bootloader... i got the old boot loader and flashed it but i keep getting the boot loop! The strange thing is i can flash CM9 and it works but CM7 will not install on my phone at all! I have tried flashing it 10 times in the last 2 days.
Can anyone help me fix this and get back to CM7 because i dont know what to do anymore my flash count went from 5 to 39 in the last 2 days!
Note: i have tried using recovery and RomManager neither of them work! Also tried Stable CM 7.1.0 and nightly builds!
Try this and then restore again:

Hi,
i have tried this now and i am still getting a reboot loop! So it dose not work at all :[
I'v had the same problem. It was solved by flashing the .pit file for cm7 with odin.
That is very strange. I assume that you did a factory reset after that procedure?

Yes i reset everything there was i did this whole guide step by step about 20 times tried everything! i even had help from the guys working on CM9. They couldn't help and told me to open a thread here :[
Well, the pit file is probably the best bet then. Good luck when you get it.
By the way I meant a factory reset after the kernel clean and restore.
Kernel clean -> restore -> factory reset.

I have tried this still no luck :[ Also tried previous back ups but the are not working either. I also tried to flash Villian rom 3 now and the only thing that happens it stays on ''Samsung Galaxy s2'' screen no reboot or anything for bout 10 min. tried to go into recovery but it isn't working :[ back to flashing KI3 again!
Which kernel were you using when you originally made that cm7 backup? Was it the stock cm7 kernel or perhaps siyah's? The kernel panics are probably due to using a cm9 kernel(recovery 5.5...) to restore a cm7 backup and then using cf-roots ki3 kernel(recovery 4.2...)to restore a cm7 backup. I'd try flashing siyah's kernel(recovery 5.0...) through odin and then try to restore that backup.
Hv u try flash the cm7 twice in cwm before u reboot?

Good point, the first install is usually quick, the 2nd one takes much longer and does the whole shebang.

I was using the stock Kernel from CM7 to create the backup! The problem is i cant install a clean version of cm7 at all i end up in a boot loop! But if it try to install CM9 i have no problem? I will try to flash recovery 5.0 and try again :]

Yes i have tried this about 10 times so far! I have read this on the Cyanogenmod forum but it didnt help : [
Re flashed 5.0.2.7 recovery and tried to do a restore. now the phone is stuck in a reboot loop again! So this dose not work either :[
Now i have also tried to do a fresh install of CM7 with the 5.0.2.7 recovery but it didn't work! I would be great full if anyone could help me!
Boot into recovery
wipe data/factory reset
goto mounts and storage > format system
install cm7 from sd card, then install it again right after
reboot
If this doesn't work throw the phone against the wall because this should work, unless flashing those bootloaders messed something up, or you flashed the wrong one.
as a last resort....
flash stock firmware.
flash cfroot kernel
try to flash cm again.
always works for me.

I have tried this as well!!! I was told by one of the CM9 members to do this! Didnt help :[ The thing is i got the old bootloader and flashed it unless there is more versions of it ????
for months everything was quit well with my SGS2. Ich flashed a lot (CM7, CM9, ...) and bevor every new version i have done a nandroid backup via CWM.
Yesterday the backup stopped in the middle of the data partition (yes, i have waited very long to be sure it was not just a big file). I bootet the phone and tried again. Same result. Different file but approximately the same position.
I think it could possibly be a issue with the filesystem.... Bute how could i fix it? Or are there other possibilities?
thx and bye, Jens

Rom manager is not 100% compatible wit sgs2, will not work for everybody. If you can boot in downloade mode flash stock ics rom through odin, then root with cf root kernel.

As i explained, the problem occurs also if i am using the recovery mode. And if it freezes in the data partition i don´t think it would be solvable flashing a new ROM.... Maybe i try to wipe the data partition. or should i format it? Is there a difference?
regards, Jens
formating the data partition solved the problem!
I recently rooted my phone (BootLoader Locked) and i tried 2-3 custom roms like "Xperia Blue Ice_v2(.587)", "jjHybriD AOSP ROM"

I think it's only the kernel as the file name said. The rom must be more than 100Mb big. (it's a long time ago when I flashed ftf...) maybe about 300 MB?

You need to root your ics rom and install cwm. Then you can restore the backup, but this would only help, if you took the backup when some apps and data are on phone. Otherwise this would be useless :silly:
Okk......thanks i restored sucessfully with previous apps n data .....thanks

He's right. Always consider a data wipe when going to another revision. There are millions of backup utilities to conserve apps, data, texts, etc.

And what backup should I do? If I flash with odin the custom recovery will be wiped and in case of a bootloop,i won't be able to restore using the backup.
Wipe using custom recovery,and right after go to download mode and do the job right? That's the way? Im just scared not to mess things up :/

You can do nandroid backup with CWM and then copy that backup file in your pc. If you have any problems you can flash CWM and restore that backup

Hello
I've accidentally flashed a wrong cwm-recovery (meant for some other phone)
After the installation I've rebooted into recovery and it booted the one I already had (that's when I understood it's the wrong one)
Then I've tried to reboot back to my rom but it got stuck on the rom's loading screen
Tried to flash a new rom after using gs2RomWipe
Tried to restore from a nandroid backup
all of them gave the same result.. stuck on the loading screen
Now to my question...
If I flash a stock Rom via Odin.. will it be enough? will I be able to reroot and use my phone normally again?
Or is there an easier way maybe?
i did the same today..
all the time bootloop..
flashing same rom that i was using did not helped..
flashing some other rom helped but cant call cause phone dont see simcard..
flashing some other roms like cyanogenmod also stuck my on bootloop..
I am pretty sure you have to flash via odin.
Update...
I've flashed a stock rom via Odin but it went into a bootloop
when I've entered recovery it said E:failed to mount efs (invalid argument)
so far I've found no way to make the phone work
please help

still nothing...
and it usually takes 1-2 mins max for me
also doesn't explain why stock from odin wont work
It seems to me that I need to somehow fix the efs folder but no idea how to do that
almost all the guides I've seen about that requires the rom to work and use root explorer
the others wasn't clear enough or just not related
according to the shell commands my efs folder is empty
copying the efs folder I have on my sdcard doesn't help because it's not there after reboot
I have a tar.gz as well but not sure how to use it
can I flash the .tar via odin? or some other solution with adb/shell?
or do you think it has nothing to do with my problem?
anyone have any idea how to help me???
I've tried many different ways but my device just wont make it past the loading screen of the rom (doesn't matter which one)
I really have no idea what can cause this problem
thought that flashing stock rom via Odin should fix it but it doesn't help
I've tried some methods I've seen to fix efs problems but so far nothing helped
I'm really desperate at the moment :\
download mode and flash the cwm kernel via Odin should work.

OK.....just a quick thing......Odin flashing a normal single file stock firmware *may* not be the solution as it just overwrites what is already there during the flash. I will provide a link to a three part firmware that wipes the old as it flashes.....this essentially flashes the firmware onto 'pristine' memory partitions....it *might* help......
Here's the link.....
http://www.mediafire.com/?1z5ao5b6r594x45
Search for @Hopper8s Odin troubleshooting guide for instructions on how to flash it.....
Good luck.....
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
