The old of tenfars?
You need to plug your device to wall charge, and then manually restart your phone! Or choose reboot in cwm apk of tenfar..

Hold down the power button while taking a piss on it, then not more than 5 seconds after that hit it with a wrench a couple times.
When you power the phone up hold power and down volume at the same time. Fastboot will show up on the screen, let go of power and press volume down a few more times until Motorola Recovery shows up, then press the volume up button to enter recovery. CWM should take over from there.
I tried flashing cm7 to my new sgs2, and my phone is now stuck in recovery mode. I've tried removing the battery, etc, but it always boots into recovery. Even here whenever i try choosing an option from the menu all i get is the cwm logo (hat with the circle). I've been surfing the net for about 3 hours now, and haven't found a working solution. please help!!!
Are you selecting with the home button or the power button?

I tried both- power button does not respond, and home button just switches between menu and cwm logo
Try getting it into download mode and reflash stock.
Sometimes flashes go wrong. But since cyanogenmod doesn't change bootloaders it's very very unlikely the phone is ruined.
Or if you ran a backup before flashing cyanogenmod, restore that.

i managed to get the phone into download mode, but odin wont recognize it. is there another way to reflash stock or restore my backup?
Try reflashing cyanogenmod again (should still be on your phone) . Make sure to wipe everything, dalvik cache, anything like that.

It won't let me choose anything from the recovery menu- any option I try to select just gives me the hat and circle logo...
Very weird. See if you can get adb to recognize the phone.

Kudos to heimdall! Glad you got it going.

Out of curiosity, did you use rom manager to install cwm?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Just as someone else point out, when you are in cwm and hit the power button it will usually give you the circle/ hat. So DON'T HIT the power button. Use the volume keys to scroll through all the cwm folders on the screen and then hit the home button to click on the highlighted folder.
Also for the 1. FIRST TIME whenever you install CM7 you have to flash it once, let it reboot, it may nit work all the way through boot. 2. Go back to cwm and again flash CM7 a second time. This time it will complete for sure and fully boot up.

Hi there, well, I wanted to install ICS, & I used this guide, & when i installed CM7 first, it restarted like it should during installation, but i get a bootloop. So, now, I can't access "Download mode" nor, the CWM recovery screen. Even when i hold VolUP & Down+Power, & it would go straight to the animation. I was going to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502830 Any clue what to do?

What bootloaders do you have installed? The key combo to get into recovery changes if you are on GB bl's.
From the guide:
Scroll down to "Install from SD Card" and scroll down to your ICS folder. Find your CM7 file and hit it. Once it finishes, reboot. It will probably bootloop. This is normal. Pull your battery and boot into (red or green) recovery again, "Install from SD" and reflash CM7.

Get back into recovery per the key combo for your bootloader and reflash CM7 over itself again. One this also to remember is that when you see the Vibrant pop up, take your finger OFF the power button when doing the key combo. Sometimes this is forgotten while in panic mode.
Well, uh, just saying, my nephew the other day was slobbing on my usb port, & now, the only time i can turn it on is when i plug in the usb. but, now, when i do that, usually when u plug it in, when its off, the battery bar would come up. Right? Well, for my phone, it seems like, the battery would come up, but it would be a loading bar stuck @ it, & I can't access anything. Is that normal for the bootloop ?

You need unlocked bootloader or for locked bootloader this: WWW(DOT)play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&hl=cs
But, always you need root. It´s good for backups, installing ROMs and much more
Install x-parts from google play, start it, then hit Install CWM. Your phone must be rooted to do this.
I have installed it already guys!!!! After installing it said 'installation is complete please reboot and use the options'' how to use it further guys can anybody tell me???? All says,flash it via cwm but how flash any file????

Did you try rebooting into CWM?
Turn off the phone, then, turn it on again, when the sony logo comes up, wait abit for it to flash then spam the volume down button until it comes up.
If it still didn't work, spam the power button instead of volume down.

okay see what you should do exactly is that when you reboot your phone and the device turns on... as soon as you see the sony logo keep pressing the volume DOWN button and tadaaa you'll go to the cwm menu
if not keep pressing the volume DOWN button as soon as your phone vibrates after the reboot
click "THANKS" if it works
Try spamming volume up

Can you boot into the bootloader?
To enter bootloader, hold volume UP and power.
Upon entering the bootloader, you will notice that there is no 'menu' to enter fastboot or recovery. Unfortunately, since the stars didn't align properly, we were unable to tell the new bootloader where to load the images that contain the menu from.
In light of that, you'll have to navigate the menu blind. Use the volume keys to change selection, and the power key to select.
The choices are (in order of pressing volume down):
Start - boot the phone normally [already selected]
Restart Bootloader - reboot into the bootloader
Recovery Mode - enter recovery (CWM)
Power Off - powers the phone off
So, to get to Recovery, you would press volume down twice then power.
Thanks I'll try that out will post results shortly

I tried that nothing comes up even while blind navigating nothing happens tried rebooting into both recovery and bootloader from the power down options and nothing other then this problem the phone works all except both Wi-Fi 4g Data but both were working when I first flashed the ROM

If you have the android-sdk boot into the rom, and try the command
adb reboot bootloader
or
adb reboot recovery
Ok I'll give that a shot I'll try it out when I get off work.

Was your phone connected to computer while trying to enter download, and does your computer recognize that you have connected to it? Sorry if these sound like obvious questions but trying to rule out what we can.
Yes my phone was connected while trying to go into download mode. And when I plugged my phone into my computer it does recognize it.

I would ask for help in irc maybe ping Shelnutt or autoprime. I was going to suggest running freegee again to see what happens, bit am not sure if that would be risky. Wish I had a better answer.

Phone should not be connected to your computer until your have the program running and the volume buttons pressed. So does your phone say download mode on screen ? You said your computer recognize it, does the program recognize it ?
