Reboot into recovery and re-flash rom and/or wipe data/factory reset.
Also, its customary when asking for help to give relevant information like what rom/kernel you're currently on or trying to flash etc etc. Basically just give people more info then simply "hey phone isnt working".

As I said previously, Wipe data/factory reset.
AW: [Q] Device not starting since restart -.-
But so I have to install all my apps again

I got a similar problem to this on Wanam 14.0 just a few days ago after I flashed the new phil Kernel, essentially just an infinite bootloop which isn't fixed by just turning the phone on/off. As previously said, I fixed it by just wiping data and flashing Wanam again (and hey, I didn't spam the forum with a stupid thread about an issue solved by using my squishy brain box thing for like 30 seconds).
Boo hoo if you lose all your XXX free porn apps, its better than not having a phone.

okay, so I bought a basically brand new galaxy tablet 10.1 today, and rooted it using this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
no problems whatsoever, re-booted and everything seemed fine. I then tried to install BigDX Xoom|Zoom Theme and the **** hit the fan...
it would load my lock screen, but instead of a lock it had a TINY picture of a little grey lock inside of a grey square, if i tapped it and then tried to slide it "it wouldn't just slide" I would get an error message and then the tablet would freeze and restart. if I didn't touch the lock it would just keep restarting about every 45 seconds. I went back into ClockworkMod Recovery and did the factory reset "maybe a mistake?" it asks me to select my region but then gives me an error message and keeps restarting. can I just restore original firmware through odin or something like that? I'm not much of a hacker, just occasional customization stuff.
please help me... I never even got to use my tablet, this was the very first thing that I did

Did you make a backup before you flashed it?
You can also download a stock firmware from www.sammobile.com and flash through Odin if you didn't

I didn't really know about backing it up before I did it... ... so I guess next time I should root > backup using the same recovery clock screen "volume buttons"> and then as long as I don't completely brick it restore from that?
I'll try re-flashing through odin. what do you think happened? no one else seemed to have a problem with that theme, and I really like the way it looks.
also I'm kind of confused by that site... which firmware do I need?
What device do you own and where are you from? Need english based rom?

If you just bought it and don't care about your data, just odin back to stock. For instructions, here's a video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYBs98R9rTs and here's a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971 look at the second half of the first post.
Hi, I am new to Samsung I previously had HTC's but I got a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 and tried unlocking it with galaxys_unlock tool from Android market and it worked, unlocked the phone I tried a new sim card but then it started crashing very shortly after unlocking and now it is just stuck on Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 boot screen and keeps rebooting from there. I tried reflashing stock firmware on it and still same result. Is there any way to rescue it. I have tried all the bootloop threads but they all seem to be related to kernel problems and software problems I tried all the fixes but they don't work. Is my phone hardbricked or something? I can get into download mode and am able to flash new roms with odin but can not get into recovery mode at all. When i press the buttons to get into recovery mode the device just shuts down and reboots. Please say I can fix it. Thanks guys.
You shouldnt need to reflash.. being stuck there is sometimes normal as it normaly means you didnt wipe any cache or do a factory reset so it gets stuck at boot...
Flash the phone with the ROM you wanted.. & then root if you wish...when it boots & gets stuck... do this...
remove battery, wait 30 seconds or so & pop it back in...
Boot to recovery & wipe cache, then factory reset.. then advanced & wipe dalvik cache
reboot phone...skip all the startup **** & go into phone & do a factory reset from there once rebooted your phone will be up & running..... I hope...
also this will wipe everything as if a clean install....

I know stock kernels don't have recovery, but I have already tried flashing CWM and Sirah both of which have recovery and it passes with odin and still doesn't work!
Stock kernels have stock recovery

I think you missed the question mark. Stock kernels most certainly do have recovery.
Anyway, I stand by my statement, you're probably not doing the correct procedure to enter recovery.

I know how to get into recovery, hold down volume up, home and power for 10 seconds. It is like the unlock tool has bricked my partitions or something. Now my battery has died and will not even charge, Download mode says "Can't download, battery too low" and shows no signs of life when plugged into a charger.
I changed the charger and now it looks like it is charging but the charging animation that shows when the phone is off and charging doesn't do anything, it just has a battery symbol with a static circle in the middle, not sure if it is actually charging or not but still doesn't fix the fact i can't get into recovery or even boot a stock rom flashed by odin.
Could the unlock tool have bricked my phone or could it have wiped the IMEI? Would a blank IMEI stop the phone from booting?
Thanks for your help guys. Really need my S2 working again and hoping it is not a return to samsung jobby as I have not got a USB Jig to reset the flash counter.
Did you backup your efs folder before running the unlock tool?

yes I am going to leave it on charge for a few hours but when it was working it wouldn't boot at all, there is no way a missing imei or corrupted nvdata.bin / efs could stop the phone from booting then?
OK it has been on charge for an hour and a half and all it has done is get hot, I cant access download mode any more as it says "LOW BATTERY!! CAN'T DOWNLOAD!!" So I am stuck, dont know what to do now. If i send it back to samsung do they ask for proof of purchase or is the fact I have the box and everything proof enough? Just asking as I had that with HTC ages ago.

Damn. You can get unlock codes for $10 on eBay, not worth messing your phone over 10 bucks. For now, I guess you are stuck.

Gee thanks, really useful input there.
I will pay £20 by paypal on 17th when i get paid to person who helps me fix this
If someone is actually knowledgeable enough to help me fix this I will pay them £20GBP by PayPal on 17th August when I get paid.
My wifes going to send her phone back to Samsung soon and they asked for proof of purchase.
Were ok there,but I suppose other people may not have that.It looks like they are trying to get out of fixing their phones.
All they should be doing is checking the phones not lost/stolen then get on with the repair ........tossers

May I ask what is your S2 version? Are you sure it is an International version?
I would suggest to re-download a different ROM and flash it using ODIN 1.85.
About the warranty, I think the receipt is really needed to avail this. Unless you're willing to spend some cash for the repair.
Recently i tried to install firmware on my Galaxy tab 10.1, but it resulted in a bootloop, and now i am on the samsung screen. I tried to install the firmware with mobil Odin. The firmware i used is P7510XEULPH_P7510XXLPH_HOME.tar. I dont know what to do to get my tab working again, because when i try to boot into the recovery, i get the flicker screen.
If anybody could help me i would greatly appreciate it.

Sounds like you soft brick your tab. Looks like your gonna need to whip out the PC and find PC version ODIN even though the screen stuck on flicker it will still connect well at least it did when I soft bricked my SGS 2. Well good luck guy I knw I had a few days of fun when I was trying to fix mine.
Oh ya one more important thing check in your device form in Q & A Chechen sticky always a lot of useful stuff or might even find a quick fix from fellow XDA fanatic like me.

Not sure if you are still stuck, but if you boot into recovery and then clear cache and user data it stopped the boot looping for me...

In theory you can switch off the tab and plug it to charge. It should charge as you do not hard brick it. If you can slash your tab via Odin, try to flash it two times, one by one not letting it to boot android and samsung logo after the first flash. After the second flash, reboot and hold the volume - button till you get into stock recovery mode. then wipe data and wipe cash. then reboot again.

how do i do that exactly?
Is this just an untouched device, that you have not currently flashed anything to? I've heard of this with galaxy sii. You can learn fastboot and adb, and re-install a rom which is similar or exactly the factory version. Otherwise, it sounds like a warranty claim. Maybe try getting to your recovery, wiping cache and/ or a factory reset, then see if it boots?
Hey,
I have a Samsung S2 (Korean Version) which was working fine. Since, it is being used by my younger brother for games etc. He informed me one day that the phone is not getting started. I checked the phone, switched it on and as it displayed Samsung SII logo and jumped straight away to recovery mode.
Resultantly, i installed AOKP rom using CWM recovery. The phone started and was working fine until restarted. On restart the phone again goes to recovery mode instead of loading the Rom.
Can anyone help me in fixing this ??

did your rom could get into the operator interface after get in the CWM mode? if not ,try to install a new rom and back up your data,then wipe data cache and reinstall again. maybe your brother deleted some system files which make the system run regularly. therefore the phone jump to CWM when restart.

Dont worry, its not a big problem.
Press & hold POWER BUTTON + MENU BUTTON + VOLUME UP BUTTON for 5-10 seconds, then you will see something written in Korean language. Just ignore that and press VOLUME UP BUTTON. Then u will enter the boot menu. Use VOLUME KEYS to move up and down. and to SELECT something click on POWER BUTTON.
DO A BACKUP FIRST AND THE RESET UR PHONE.
