Help getting out of bootloop - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have recently tried to put on a custom rom, but when my phone wouldn't boot I flashed back my siyah kernel onto my Galaxy S2 Gt-i9100. Now my phone is stuck on booting, please help.

Hi
Can u get into recovery mode ?
did u make a backup before flashing ? if so u can load your backup as long as u can get into revovery mode.
If u did not make a back up u may have to flash a rom from your computer using Odin.
read some threads on using Odin and recovery.
I'm still new to this so maybe others can give u more help.
good luck
peace

Factory reset if you have no recovery to restore backup. And if factory reset doesn't work, flash stock rom in Odin (assuming you still have download mode).

Can you access download mode?
Power + Vol Down + Home
If yes then flash stock firmware via odin..

Pretty sure I said that exact same thing over three hours ago.
Why do people here lately seem to have a habit of repeating the exact same thing someone else posted often many hours earlier purely for the sake of posting ? It's stupid :-/

[Q] Stuck on Android recovery system

Okay so I am stuck on the recovery screen. I have rebooted several times and I have ended up in the same place. I also chose wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. Some one help
ya know, some steps of what you have done before hand will probably help, what rom did you have, what have you done etc etc,
So either you have sticky buttons or your gonna need to re-flash a rom, but as we dont know wether you mean recovery or cwm recovery this post is about as much help as a chocolate fire-guard in all honesty,
If you are on CWM download a connect your phone up via mounts and storage put the rom on your phone and install it via zip,
if your stock by the sounds of it something went bad...... try grabbing a rom from samfirmware and flash it via odin.
usually happens if you format system partition, if you dont have a hardware issue simply flash stock ROM using odin
I already flash stock rom but im still stuck at the android system recovery e3
Download mode and flash a stock rom . Boot it to run and let it set up .

Is Kernel_I9100DXKL3.tar.md5 a stock rom sorry im noob
No its a KERNEL .
jje
Example of stock rom? GT-I9100_DXKL3_original??? sorry i need you help
If you are on CWM download a connect your phone up via mounts and storage put the rom on your phone and install it via zip,
This option is there in CWM but we cant mount it, I tried many times...
So it is always a good idea to keep your running custom ROM zip file on your SDcard undeleted, to flash on the emergency even while you are on the go...
yesturday only my son fingured my phone and got non stop FC...just flashed ROM again but bootloop, flashed again after Factory Reset...worked.

which CWM???, once you successfully flash a stock rom from ODIN, then you will get only stock recovery...what happens after flashing automatically reboot to Recovery?????
Yup i got the Android system recovery e3 now, now im stuck there
more information you give more you will get help,
we cant help with least information,
Try to flash cwm or siyah in recovery. Then flash some rom and see if that helps

I flash cwm and flash some rom but still stuck on the cwm )):
Can u upload a pic of which recovery mode your on? Your best bet is go to samfirmware download a rom for your country or what ever you want put phone in download mode, install kies on your open task manager make sure kies isnt running grab odin and flash the stock rom,

I am in the same situation, stuck on the CWM Android system recovery screen. My Kernel is fine, I entered it not realizing I couldn't get out because my home button hasn't worked in over a year. I've tried resetting with the power button, and the power button + down key, but it always comes back to this screen. All I need to do is select the "reboot system now" button but without a Home Key I can't select it. Any way around this?

[Q] Stuck on bootloop.. Can´t enter recovery

So.. I was using my phone normally .. but suddenly my phone went very very slow and then I turned off... I was running Unnamed rom.
But here is the deal , the phone didnt woke up! I mean , The phone got stucked into a boot loop , So I treid to enter into recovery with no luck!... Then I managed to go into download mode without any problem.
So after that I restored the phone to stock (One click root odin) . BUT the phone is still showing the Galaxy S Screen Boot loop.
HELP!
I´ve tried many things.. 2 Laptops and PC´s , ports , etc.. I also removed the sim card and the micro sd , but that didnt do anything.
So , any suggestion?
PS: Sorry 4 my english
I'm going to assume that you flashed UCKH7, either the stock without root, or the stock with root one click downloader. If you flashed something different than one of these, let me know.
Since you flashed the stock package successfully, you should now be able to get into 3e recovery by holding vol+ vol- and power buttons. Once in 3e recovery, you should do a wipe data/factory reset and your phone should then boot normally.
If you are unable to get into 3e recovery, then there is some sort of unusual problem, so post back here and we'll try to find out what it is.

If you can't get into recovery using the three button technique then there is something seriously wrong with your phone.

Yes... I'm thinking possible hardware issue. But since you can still get download mode, I'd try flashing the full stock package which you can get from the Download Repository. The one you already flashed did not contain the bootloaders and other stuff. If that doesn't clear it up, then I'm thinking repair or replace.
Noob question.. Where I can find the download repository?
thanks

does it have to be a stock, or can i flash a custom rom?
Not through odin no.
can you explain more, because i'm kind of new to those things. where can I get a stock, and how do i flash it using odin?
Get firmware from sammoblie. Say lsw firmwear and well here's the thing iv never had to use it so best bet follow the many many guides to use odin. One day I will have to use it but for now I don't no how to

Phone stuck at download mode

i have s3. i rooted the phone then tried to install flash miui v5 via with but failed -i guess- because phone is lack of cwm. so i installed cwm but the phone wouldnt boot to recover mode, instead there was always original recovery mode. so i tried again and again but still anything change. then i tried to unlock bootloder with a app named ez lock i guess i did it but after something my phone went to download mode by itself and there is nothing else. top left there is no version info. just download mode with a green android guy. i removed battery and take it back, and tried to open download mode again there was infos top left screen this time. but when i tried to enter recovery mode it just load something in cwm recovery then there is again download mode without infos top left.
now im downloading stock rom, hope it'll work. is there anything else i can do guys? please help me, im not good at this stuff..
Tried to Flash stock firmware ?
sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !!
Bootloader ??? do you actually have a I9300 as bootloader is not locked .
please help me, im not good at this stuff.. That would be due to not bothering to read the faqs and guides first .
My guess is that you have bricked your phone and need a paid for service repair .
i tried to flash to stock rom with odin, but somehow it failed to flash :S then phone stucked at a screen that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again. then i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261153 and my phone opened.
i have a question though, why didnt cwm open in the phone? if it had opened i would've install miui
Things went wrong because you didn't read or follow the many guides on XDA that other members wrote to help you. Guessing what to do can be very expensive.
CWM didn't open because you flashed in onto a stock ROM, which immediately restored a stock recovery.

Stuck in Recovery screen

Hi everyone
I have a problem with my son's samsung galaxy s3 gt-I9300
He wanted to update the firmware to 4.4 kitkat and I don't know what he did but the phone is now stuck on the recovery screen
I've googled for hours for a solution and finally decided to ask for help
I've removed the battery and held power for 1 minute in case there was static somewhere.
Every time the phone is switched on it goes straight to the recovery screen.
I tried wipe cache partition and that didn't work and then tried a wipe data/factory reset and it's still not working.
As far as I know he installed odin and CWM.
If anyone could just help me get into the OS again that will be more than enough
Thanks in advance
Hey
This is probably caused by you son somehow deleting the OS. Try using odin to reflash stock firmware (google odin and sammobile) this should fix your problem ? dont hesitate to ask for any more help.
The Pokemon-hype
The simpliest way is flashing the firmware again (sammobile.com), then root (CF-autoroot), then recovery (from twrp.me), then custom-ROM. Details are written many times here or on youtube...
If there are data to be saved, look here.
