Pretty much all in the title, my Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 was charging while I was doing some school work. I look down and the boot screen saying "Samsung Galaxy SII" so I look back up, I'm used to my phone restarting here and there (probably not a good thing..) so I just ignored it and looked back down because I was checking to see if my ride was ready or not and it was just showing "Samsung Galaxy SII" and it'd go to a black screen, and restart the process all over again.
I looked for any other people having the same problem, but I think I'm the only one on AT&T that has. One guy with T-Mobile had the same issue and he said that constantly pushing the button would work, I tried that and it still didn't work, so I don't know what to do.
Anyone have any ideas?

So you're saying my OS is basically dead? Haha, would it be possible to root it now? I've had stock for ever and I've looked into getting it done, but been to worried I'd completely brick my phone. What would be the best ROM?
There are a lot of them. If that's the road you choose to take, try a few and see which ones meet your needs.
The problem could be either firmware related (more likely) or hardware related (less likely.) First, boot into recovery mode and perform a wipe data/factory reset. With the phone off, hold all three of vol- vol+ and power buttons continuously until it boots into recovery.
If that does not clear the problem, then as suggested try flashing one of the stock packages using Odin. If you want root at the same time, flash one of the stock plus root packages. There is little risk of completely bricking your phone as long as you read first, understand the steps, and use the correct firmwares.
See the links in my sig, and the stickies in these forums to guide you.

Tried recovery mode today and now when I boot I still get boot loop, then if I try going back to recovery it says "Deleting System Meta Data". I'm still on 2.3 update by the way, which pack do I need, the UCKH7 or UCKH6? I'm going to do the stock +root packages, I just need to run to get a data cable tomorrow.
Do I need to do anything extra since I have the "Deleting System Meta Data" or can I still flash with stock FW +root Kernel?
Thanks guys for your help by the way!

Deleting cryption meta data is a little difficult to get past, but it can be done. See this post for a way to fix it, maybe.
Were you able to do the wipe data/factory reset as suggested? Or what do you mean by "tried recovery mode today?"

Like, I held down Volume Up/Down and the power button and got the menu where it asked me if I wanted to "wipe data/factory reset" or "clear cache partition" and another option, I clicked "wipe data/factory reset" and now I get "Deleting Cryption Meta Data".
I just made this harder didn't I? Aha..
The only menu I can actually do anything with now looks like this..

That screen is download mode. From there you can install firmware using Odin or Heimdall. I suggest following the instructions in the link I posted.
i am having the same issue with this device - please help
hey guys,
This is rooted sgh-i777. and is going into bootloop. First I tired clean cache then dalvik cache bit no success and then i tried factory reset as well and thats when I see the problem that it wouldn't let me. Its says unable to mount data <invalid argumant>. I read some of xda threads that If I install stock rom again via Odin it would come back to my original state and i did that. After successful flash of stock rom with Odin I was hopeful that it would solve my problem but it wouldn't and it kept getting stuck on "Samsung Galaxy s2" black boot screen and is in bootloop. I thought my kernel might have meesed up and so i installed siyah kernel, it would let me come out of black boot screen but now next it would hung on Siyah logo startup screen. I can still go to CWM recovery mode and can install any rom and clean the cache or dalvik cache but the problem is with /data, it just stuck on formatting /data infinitely.
I would really appreciate any help which could lead me to fix my device.

What stock did you flash? 2.3.4, 2.3.6, 4.0.3, 4.0.4, or 4.1.2?
Since you can still boot into CWM recovery, what happens when you perform a wipe data/factory reset again? And what exactly do you mean "stuck on formatting /data infinitely?"

While in download mode reflash stock firmware using Odin in administrator mode on your PC. Then use Framaroot.apk too root device and flash a kernel with cwm recovery using rom manager. Then install the rom of choice using CWM in recovery mode.

Hi
I just flashed my GS2 for the 2nd time via Odin and everything went fine, no errors or something like that.. The problem is that now i'm stuck on a boot loop.
The phone keeps restarting at the first boot animation and i can't do anything..
I've tried to reflash with other roms, stock rom's, stock kernel but nothing works..
Can i have some help please? :/
Thank you
EDIT: Just noticed that this is not the right section for posting this sort of things.. Can i have it moved to the right section please? Thanks
EDIT2: Forgot to mention that this started to happen since i did an hard reset using the *2767*3855# method.
Turn off the phone -> Hold volume up + power + home -> in recovery wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
That worked for me when I was locked in a bootloop the other day at least, can't say if it'll work for you though :/

This worked for me.. Many thanks!
Im still getting this!
I can flash a rom and it reboots, so I boot upinto recovery and wipe data and cache and its still mucing up
please im going insane
I fought with this BIG time.... it did not matter what I flashed or reset, I was constantly stuck in a boot loop.... but then Chainfire said this, took me a couple of tries but it worked.... I did not full understand the gist of it, but the end result is my phone is up and running....
remember, once you flash the stock rom, you have to do the recovery reset (should be blue instead of orange).
I will post the link in a second, I have to find it, lol
"Villains ROM doesn't include kernel AFAIK (yet!). Again, don't fear. This is a Samsung device, unless you botched up flashing a bootloader, you aren't going to break it. It is epically difficult to break Samsungs by accident.
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 for some stock firmwares. Do a full wipe after flashing (from recovery). I advise the XEU KE7 variant."
Possible fix
Hi,
I had a similar problem and following exactly Intratech's post #108 from the following thread solved my issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278&page=11
The three file install went OK and then I was able to install the latest "one file" tars as usual.
Intratech's #108:
I assume you know how to use Odin. Download the firmware from this link and extract everything to one folder: http://hotfile.com/dl/116656855/2ccf2f4/I9100XWKDF.rar.html
The password for the file is: samfirmware.com
Start Odin and put these in the following
PDA: CODE_I9100XWKDF_CL170898_REV02_user_low_ship.tar
CSC: GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXXKDD.tar
Modem: MODEM_I9100XXKDJ_REV_02_CL996627.tar
Forget the rest of the files. DO NOT SELECT A PIT FILE AND DO NOT TICK REPARITION.
Put your phone into download mode and connect the usb cable. When the Odin box turns yellow press flash and wait until phone reboots. The first boot will take a while... be patient.
It's 2:58am here so I'm off to bed. I don't know how to make this simpler for you.

Ok so my Galaxy S2 i9100 arrived today!
I began by flashing VillainRom 1.1 and then decided to give Litening Rom a try, fired up odin, selected the rom and hit start. It completed but instead of rebooting the phone has gone into an endless reboot cycle, just showing the boot screen over and over.
I pulled the battery and am reflashing now, it that doesn't work where do I go from here?
Cheers
Edit: Nope, still not booting up properly
You go to the OP of the VillainROM thread and read the words in big red letters.

So if I reflash VillainRom then enter recovery, wipe user data and THEN install Litening Rom it should work?
Or have I permanantly screwed my phone?
Edit: So I reflashed Villain and it booted up fine, I went into recovery as suggested and selected wipe user data. After that finished I held the power button down until the phone turned off, then booted into downlaod mode and flashed litening. Same problem occurred, I tried this two more times but both to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers
flash to stock KE7, then boot into recovery, select wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, boot into download mode, flash lite'ning rom, then then it should work 100%.
oh and btw, as long as you can boot into recovery/download mode, your device isn't bricked.

Worked brilliant, thanks
I had a similar problem, but I solved it by just booting into recovery mode, wiping data(/factory reset) and dalvik cache and then just flashing then ROM through "download" mode.
I did not have to flash any stock ROM prior to that. Just these two simple steps!
ok im stuck on my boot logo for my motorola droid 2. its a liberty logo, no the original M logo, ive held in x when it starts up and then it takes me to the triangle and then i hold the search button down and then it takes me to a menu saying this:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
ive already tried just rebooting it and then it does the same thing again and just gets stuck at the boot logo, so please help. thanks!
Have you tried pulling the battery out for about 15 seconds?
See if that clears it up.
with it unplugged and turned off?
Yes Sir. Unlug it and turn it off.
yes i just did that and it didnt work, its still at the boot logo, the only thing i can do is go to that recovery menu that i said about in my 1st post, but idk what to do when i get there?
Try wipe data/factory reset.
Obviously you're gonna have to tweak your settings again.
okay, is there anyway i can get my settings back like a recovery? or something
Well, you might want to head in to the Droid 2 forums to get better responses related to your phone.
Here is a link to start with.
As far as recovery goes, I don't think you have a custom recovery installed. Sounds like you have a stock phone. So, there's no way of backing your stuff up.
i have it rooted and a rom on it but nothing custom, but thanks for all your help

If you have it rooted, did you ever perform a Nandroid backup ?
Do you have a non standard recovery installed?
EDIT: Sorry re-read last few post and come to conclusion that you probably don't.
sorry but doesnt rds lite 4.8 and the correct sbf file let u flash back to stock?
If your phone is rooted then you have changed your kernal.It might be a fault with the kernal.I had a similar thing happen in an SGS.It was rooted and when i flashed the kernal againh via CWM it also got stuck on the same as you.The only way to solve it was boot to download mode and flash via odin again.
Ok so I'm fairly new to the rooting scene, and these forums, but so far everything has been pretty good, except for one small problem. I installed a custom boot logo, and afterwards my phone was lagging a bit. I contacted the boot logo programmer, with no response, so I decided to wipe my system and use the backup from right before I installed the custom boot logo. Unfortunately, the boot logo has not changed, and my phone 'fails' whenever I try to flash something from Odin. Anyone know what to do in this situation.
If you want to do a full wipe of you device,cos it sounds like tha boot logo is corrupt,then boot to recovery and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache.then go to "storage and mounts" and format system,data and cache.Select "Go Back" and factory reset your phone and reboot.If it doesnt go past the boot logo after 1min then pull the battery,put it back in and turn it back on.Its a pain in the arse but it will completely clean up your device and if you where rooted you will need to probably reroot but berfore hand plug in your phone to your PC so it gets recognized again.
EDIT:Just incase,first of all download titanium backup from the market and backup your apps!!!!

You need to wipe usb storage, sd card, then put phone in download mode, flash stock ROM using Odin. You need to fully wipe everything.

I've trying reflashing the stock ROM and kernel; however, it gives me a FAIL and says can't open the serial (COM) port.
I have solved the problem by closing Samsung Kies and wiping the system, thanks for all the help offered.
I have a LGH850. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP, just to change a couple of things that niggled me - the emojis, for instance.
Recently, I was offered an OTA update. Obviously, I couldn't use that with TWRP so I tried flashing a stock recovery back. That work, in so far as the OTA update ran, but it stopped halfway saying that as my phone had been modified it couldn't continue.
I am now left with a phone that would only boot into recovery (whether that be stock or TWRP).
I can get into "download mode", fastboot or recovery fine. I have flashed a couple of different KDZ files using LGUP. I have used both "refurbish" and "update" modes. They have all said they were successful, but on reboot all I get is stuck at a bootloop on the LG screen.
Am I missing something? Is my partition table totally messed up or something? Shouldn't a KDZ fix all that?
Any ideas?

Change the title you can make a mess with people thinking that G5 has a bootloop problem like G4.
That's what I thought and entered to see if it's true.
Install twrp, wipe everything then install stock recovery and flash full kdz from download mode.

I flashed the
LG-H85010E-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip in this post. I also tried flashing the LG-H85010E-Flashable.Boot.zip and LG-H85010E-Flashable.Bootloader.zip separately. I did a wipe and a format of everything in TWRP (which I suspect may be the problem - could it be that internal storage is somehow messed up?). Whilst I still had TWRP on there, it would boot directly into TWRP with no buttons pressed in (instead of booting properly into the ROM). Now I have the stock recovery, it just bootloops.
I have flashed H85010c_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0415.kdz and H85010h_00_H3G_COM_OP_0816.kdz using LGUP. Both say they are successful, but both just sit on the initial LG screen during boot.
Unfortunately I have now relocked the bootloader (in preparation for returning it to LG). I thought I would be able to unlock it again if I wanted, but it says I have to enable OEM Unlock in the ROM. Which, of course, I can't boot into. So fastboot has now become useless for the moment.

Then return it to LG, but i dubt it will be repaired in warranty as you have unlocked the bootloaderm, even if you locked it trough the command LG will always have your device identified as "unlocked".
In any case good luck and keep us informed!
it's odd that LGUP refurbish with the KDZ didn't work. after the KDZ flash does it boot into TWRP or just show the green android? if it shows the green android that means /data should be reset now and you should be able to boot. first boot after a data wipe can take a long time... you waited a bit longer I assume?
if resetting data with stock recovery isn't working after a KDZ flash.. I'm not sure what would make it work without having it in my hands.
good luck

After the KDZ flash there was no TWRP. Booting into recovery takes me to the stock recovery, where I can just do a data wipe. So it looks like it changed whatever was causing it to boot directly to recovery.
A normal boot just stays on the LG screen for, say, 5 seconds then the screen briefly goes blank and back to the LG screen. Rinse and repeat.
I'm not sure what the stock recovery normally looks like when you do a data wipe. I get, iirc, 2 questions confirming I want to wipe then it hangs for a short while before rebooting. It's possible that the stock recovery is struggling to access data somehow. Could a format in TWRP have messed it up?
Does a KDZ repartition/format etc?

kdz flashes the main partitions over top of what was there before.. but /data (including internal sdcard) only gets touched in you select "refurbish" in LGUP.. "upgrade" leaves data alone.
stock recovery should ask you to hit "yes" twice... then after the second yes you should see a green android figure in the center of the screen for a second or so... that confirms data is being wiped.
I'm sorry in advance for bumping a 4 year old thread, but it's the only one that outlines the exact same issues I'm having. @bigstoo did you ever manage to fix this? I've tried everything and nothing has worked like you've listed above. I've run out of ideas.
I want to get this phone working to give to my nephew, but obviously can't give a bootlooping phone that doesn't work.
In the pictures attatched is how far I've managed to get, but after the "Android is starting" screen gets to 100% it reboots and goes back to bootlooping.
