Hi everyone,
First of all, I'm a newbie. I had my SGS2 two days ago and before I had an old Sony Ericsson...sooo I never made any things like install a new ROM or flash a new kernel with Odin, well, you see ?
So please excuse me if I say bullshits.
So, my SGS2 is actually running with a CF-Root 4.0 and Lite'ning Rom v1.4, everything is ok but! I saw the new VilainRom (v.1.4) and I read excellents comments about it (battery, speed, etc...)
So I wanted to switch!
I did a total wipe, I reinstalled the original rom from Samsung.
After this, I installed the CF-Root 4.0.
Next I downloaded The Vilainrom v1.4, I copyed it on my SD Card and I used CWM to flash it.
I waited few minutes, but the bootloader is always here, my phone is "bootlooping" !
So I again did a total wipe and re-install all. Properly.
Can you tell me why the hell I have a damn bootloop ? Please! Please!
I really really want to install this ROM!
Cheeeers
Manox94
try to wipe data from CWM then flash VR1.4 again
Ok, I did it but it's always the same. I really don't understand :/
i had the same problem, when i wiped the data and just let it reboot, without reinstalling it worked ok for me.
Oh yeah ??
I try this right now!

I would factory reset first .

Wipe Dalvik catch format system from CWM etc .

Hello!
I installed CM on my Galaxy Ace, also used a kernel that allowed me to overlock the phone. So I overclocked to 940MHz from the stock 800Mhz.. all was working fine, untill this morning. I woke up and the phone was turned off. I thought my battery has discharged during the night, so I put the phone on charge, and trided to boot it. Samsung Galaxy Ace logo appeared, but it got stuck there... Tried to boot to recovery menu, as I always do, but it doesnt work! I thought something must went wrong so decided to reinstall new firmware through ODIN. Everything seemed to be fine - ODIN recognized the phone, so I flashed succesfully my Galaxy Ace with new firmware.. Then, when It was supposed to reboot itsef, it didnt. It got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Ace logo, and thats all... I tried pull the battery out, to charge it even more, but nothing... Tried various firmwares, but no luck.
So, my phone will go into downlaod mode, but not to recovery mode anymore. It won't boot up, it shows only the screen with Samsung Galaxy Ace logo... nothing more.
What could have happened? What to do?
Consegregate warned against frequencies higher than 921Mhz .
The phone must've bootlooped the whole night .

Excuse me, you mean I have bricked my phone by overclocking it that high? I thought It would restart it self, or hang up at most, but It actually worked for few hours. Than it turned off by itself. So I thought flashing new firmware with odin (which actually worked) would repair the problem?
Anyone?
u can install qtadb on ur pc/laptop, run it, plug in ur ace and boot it, then look at the logcat provided by qtadb.
btw maybe u fried ur cpu afterall
You wont believe.. I was flashing 2.3.3 firmware through odin, and after a "succesfull" flashing the phone wouldnt boot up - stuck on samsung galaxy ace logo. tried many 2.3.3 firmwares.
My last try was installing 2.3.4 firmware - it booted...
solved...
What does it mean when my samsung has has no network coverage? In phone info there is "|unknown|" @ baseband.

reflash modem via odin.
That was because you flashed a one package firmware and it didn't reformat the data partition to rfs, so it didn't boot.
And about the overnight mystery brick it shouldn't be happening. You need to check your bedroom for demons.
Hey everyone,
I figured out that I lost my EFS folder.. no imei....
Is there any chance to get it back? Do i have to visit a samsung centre for repair?
It seems as if someone took your phone at night and then bricked it.

Lmfao for demons? But who knows, isn't it possible that the phone had a process crash or something and rebooted and got stuck there? I know because that happens on my Ace sometimes. The rebooting I mean. It reboots by itself while I'm using it but that's about it and then it goes back to normal.
Okay guys,
but what to do now, when I don't have my IMEI (= I cant use my phone to call).. ?

Send it to Samsung for repair
Do you think wouldn't be it faster to show the phone to a "non-official-gsm-point"? There are many places where they sell/buy/repair phones. I know they will charge me (but not as much as samsung care for sure) and there is possibility to get the phone repaired on the moment.
sorry for posting in this thread.......

Hi all,
My sister has a galaxy s2 and her little son tried to break into it by breaking te pattern.
But after a lot of tries it didnt work so u get at the part where u have to enter your google play/gmail account.
At that moment he turned down the phone and now it is every time stuck at the loading screen, or boot screen? (Where u see the Galaxy s2 text)
It doesnt shut down or loop to.
Phone is not rooted or a custom rom. Just a stock rom.
She got also realy important data on her phone so a hard reset is something i realy want to try to avoid.
I searched also on google but i just found solutions for a hard reset but as i said i realy want to avoid that.
Anyone got a other solution that i can try ?
Uhm... Im not really good at this, you still have warranty?
The simplest way is to go to there and they fix it for you, cause you guys are clearly not really good with software etc.

And tomorrow and the day after that its christmas here so everything is closed.
At second i realy don't want to be rude or anything but you are kinda wrong..
i know how to work with software.....I rooted and do custom roms on my own galaxy s3. without any problems.
Its just that i dont how to solve this.
Go to recovery mode and wipe cache if not work try to flash stock rom and don't tick factory reset only pda flash...

Okay i understand, im good with rooting/roms but thats it, just helped a guy fix his soft-brick.
But its possible if you root it and put a custom ROM on it it works, cause you get a new boot animation, im 99% it works after that.

What app did you download? And was it from the play store, or a direct download?
Also, what firmware are you on? If its 4.0.4, factory reset is out of the question, read about the emmc brickbug. If you're not on 4.0.4, then a factory reset will be ok. Before you do that, you can try to fix it by flashing a stock ROM using Odin directly over the top of your current setup. Go to Samfirmware.com, download the firmware you're on, and flash it. I really would think you're gonna have to factory reset, but give it a go.

You said me about Flashing a stock ROM.
here can u say what this method actually do?
is it delete all my important data,apps,contacts,messages...?
or it just repair the frozen firmware and leave all my data?

Alright, you need to do some reading before you attempt to fix it. The situation you're in is easily fixed. As MistahBungle said, you'll in all likelihood have to do a factory reset. That will wipe your data, but it's probably the only way to fix. As far as your data goes, it won't wipe anything saved on an internal/external sd card, but it will wipe all apps, and messages. Contacts are easily recovered assuming you have them synced with your Google account. Search how to factory reset from recovery.
To answer your question, flashing the same stock ROM on top of your old one with Odin will not wipe data. It is also very unlikely to fix your situation. You'll have to factory reset.

I don't know how else to say it. Factory reset will wipe everything that's not on internal/external sd. Contacts sync back through a google account. The rest you lose. As your phone isn't rooted, there's no backups for you to restore.

You can sit there wringing your hands for however long you want at the prospect of maybe losing some data which you should have backed up in the first place, or you can fix your phone.

i have rooted phone.how to recover data after reset?
Hi guys i have a issue here.
My phone was initially rooted in clockworkmod and running cyogenomod 10. But the rom kept hanging which pisses me a little.
So, i did a stock rom install using odin. After the reflash, i can see and hear the startup music, thereafter, it starts to restart. From there on, it reloops at the samsung S3 GT-I9300.
I tried to send to samsung for repair and they couldnt resolve this. Instead the recovery mode was restored back to the original (without clockworkmod now).
With my issues, can you guys help me on this whether can i restore the phone again? Appreciate your comments!
*BTW, i had backup in clockworkmod on my external sd card.

If you wont read the basics then yes take to service and pay for a repair as you do not have a clue what you are doing its safer .

I also think something went wrong while flashing. As stated above, try factory reset and flash again. My guess would be you forgot to wipe your (Dalvik) cache, had a similar problem.

You said Samsung didn't manage to fix it? It it was a local repair center?
The only thing to do is to flash a whole complete stock Rom with Odin, see in stock roms there's I'm general section to grab one. You can try also to use Samsung s3 toolkit in original android section, stickies.. if you have a Rom image it will be easier to flash it with it no risk messing with Odin settings.
Perhaps you should read about pit corruption, it can be this also.

Hello.. I have faced similar issue in India with looping of logo on my Galaxy S3.
I went to the official service center and they flashed my phone 2 times with original stock rom but the issue did not go.
Finally they have to replace my phone's mother board completely and it got resolved.
I am still not sure how this has happened or is it some kind of virus.. but i was watching a video and my phone hanged and looping of logo started on my S3.
Good that my phone was under warantee so i did not have to pay any money...
But some senior members should through some light on it...
Hi Guys,
i managed to get it back to stock rom by flashing the below linked rom.
The samsung service are really......What they can't solve, they would use the worst scenario which is to change the board...
Actually i have been charged (30 bucks) by them which they can't resolve. They told me that they had flashed the ROM and that incured the charges....I was thinking wat dafuq....Cannot resolve still have the cheek to charge me. Anyway in short, they void my warranty because they saw the cwm. They were very happy when they saw that.... Anyway the warranty left 3 months, not of a issue to me.
For people who have the same issue with me, just flashed the rom (JB) that was in the below link. All the best.

This is where it all started
i flashed a ROM from xda
some rom for s2 with s4mods, and the phone didn't boot up so i restored my nandroid backup and the phone was back on
but it couldn't detect the sim card (tried many)
then i got pissed off and i went into the recovery and did a factory reset and formatted system and data and cache just to be sure
this is where i screwed UP
i formatted the emmc instead of sdcard!!!
now my phone gets suck in s2 screen and i was not able to flash anything then after googling up i did a PIT flash that cleared the way a bit
the stock rom that i tried earlier with odin was unflashable(NAND Write )
now i could flash it with odin and it is a PASS
and i rejoiced....but then again it got stuck at S2 screen!!!!
now am able to flash anything but of no use....
tried PIT!...only the particular kernel provides me with CWM rest dont....
help me out guys pls
...
And now you're asking?? I fear the worst mate! Try flashing a 3 part firmware via Odin. See if it helps u boot.
If u can't flash it, look up @Hopper8's Odin troubleshooting guide here on XDA.
