Hello,
I installed android 4.2.2 galaxy nexus on my device but now i wanted to get back to my old android 4.0.4 version.
But now i cant find my device in odin and cant install CWM on my device to get my backup back.
So i was wondering what the solution is for it.
Thank you very much already

If you made a backup, you need to go into recovery mode and restore it from there.

Guys, I tired to flash the s3 look and feel rom from the galasy s2 android development theard on my s2 and now it wont swtich on. It will boot in download mode but no recovery. when I connect it to power, the battery icon only comes on once and then it switches off. Sometimes the screen starts flashing.
Could someone kindly advise how can I get around this?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
If the phone boots only into download mode, that's still a good sign. Just use the Odin tool and flash the new ROM. I know that doesn't help but need to stay calm and find the proper images.

You've obviously flashed it incorrectly or onto a incompatible rom or device variant. Next time read before flashing.
thanks guys,
do I flash a new kernel using odin? if yes, which one?
Thanks again.
Any one you want. Download a stock ICS or GB ROM from sammobile.com, and flash through Odin. Lucky you didn't brick your device, READ TWICE, FLASH ONCE.
Chris.
You should also confirm what model phone you have. Look on the label under the battery. What does it say for model?
flashing the stock firmware is the best option .. that solved my problem in the past .
flash the stock rom using odin . That is the best way to revive a bricked phone .
Oh good lord I hope this guy actually has an i9100.
I do have s2 i900. I am downloading I9100XXLPH.zip as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Is this ok? or do I need stock rom/kernel? if yes, could you advise where I could get that from?

Strange that you cannot access recovery. It should work. However, as a last resort you can flash a stock build using ODIN and then wipe data off
just flash cf root and recovery again should reinstate it with Odin, then you won't lose anything hopefully

I should have said that everytime when I boot up my phone it goes into a black screen. Unless I go into download mode, which in my case still works. So I just flash a stock rom using odin?
Flashing a stock Rom will fix it too, but back everything up as you will lose it all, but if you were rooted then just flash the cf root in Odin, that will give you your recovery image back (remember on the s3 recovery image is separate to kernel)

I think all you need to do (if you haven't solved it yet) is to get into recovery mode by pushing volume up + home + power, is a common issue after flashing... once you get there, perform a wipe cache, and wipe/factory reset, and you should good to go

Download Siyah kernel (Tar for Odin!)
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/08/05/siyahkernel-s2-v4-0/
Kill all Kies processes in Task mnger
Open Odin (run as Administrator)
Boot phone in download mode (vol down+home+power)
Vol up to continue
Connect phone to pc, a field in Odin will turn yellow
Click PDA and select the file you downloaded
Make sure that Repartition is not ticked!!!!!!!!!
Click start
When it finishes, the field will turn green and say 'Pass!', phone will reboot

When flashing a different rom, always do a full wipe(factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache) or else you'll end up in a bootloop.

No, you cant get the brick bug in Siyah. Its present only in Samsung kernels and ones based on it, like Cf-root.
Siyah is completely safe, dont worry.

Well I went ahead and flashed all looked ok but can't say that the neutrino rom was that good. Got problems with update me, saying new rom is available when 1.0.8 is install only to say 1.0.7 in about phone then simply crashes update me.
Think ill go back to stock before trying anything else for a while, should I go back to 4.0.3 or 4.0.4?Im staying with siayh kernal

Siyah is compatible with 4.0.3, 4.0.4 (leaked / CM9) and 4.1.1 (CM10).

No I didnt check that yet. How can I do so? I used the "XWKDD_insecure" which I used before on 4.0.3 and worked well before...

XWKDD is Gingerbread, 2.3.5, I believe. It would never work on 4.0.3.
EDIT: just went and looked - XWKDD is 2.3.3, actually. Even older.
You can download and flash something like the latest Speedmod K3 kernel, which should get your phone up and running, and even root it.
EDIT 2: I see by your activity you are currently reading the thread [GUIDE] And then there was ROOT !... well, at the very top of that thread it reads in big bold red letters:
