Hey, Guys I had the CM10 Jelly Bean rom downloaded from Rom Manager (I know I shouldnt have used Rom Manager but too late). The rom was giving me problems of low call volume and mic, Losing signal and some other stuff so someone suggested me to use Dark Side Super Wipe and reinstall the rom. I did and Now the phone won't boot up it stays on the CM screen and the Nothing works in the recovery. I tried back and restore doesnt work, Tried installing super wipe again doesnt work. Reseting phone to factory doesnt work. So basically im stuck. I did my search couldnt find anything similar to my problem so I decided to post here. Next step I was going to take is put it on download mode and flash stock rom with ODIN but before I do that I wana get advice from you experts.
I made a short video describing the problem so please take a look to get a better idea of what im talking about. Unfortunately forums wont let me post the links because i have less than 10 posts so please type the title on youtube with my username
Title: Galaxy S2 wont boot up and nothing works in recovery

I will edit and post the link when I have 10 posts to save the hassle.

Please Help. I flashed this Ice cream sandwich file "I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX" on my galaxy s2 i777 and now i cant go back to stock. I get a frozen boot screen with the gt-i9100 logo. The only time I can get the phone to turn on is when I reflash the i9100 ics with odin. I dont want that because the back and search buttons dont work and internet data is not working. I just want to go back to the icsrewd that I had or foxhound. Please help. Thank you.
P.s. I also tried this, but didnt work "[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)"
Why not flash back to what was working, as you stated you can, and then from there, clear/wipe etc., and flash what you do want?

It wont let me flash anything that has to do with i777, not even the rom i had before.
If you can get into download mode you can flash back to stock. Just do everything you did when you flash the 1900 but use the stock one found in the development board and you should be fine

Tried to return to stock. It finishes download and reboots phone, but then the screen freezes at the galaxy s2 logo. I have to re-enter download mode to get off that screen. The phone never boots up after that. I need a link to a .tar file for a rom so I can flash through odin.

Flash back to stock first. You need to flash everything for the I777 that is in the i9100 package that caused the problem. Use an archive program to open the i9100 tar and look at the contents. It probably includes boot.bin, sbl.bin, and param.lfs. None of the stock I777 packages that you tried to flash have those. In that case, flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries from the Download Repository, which contains those files.
What Creepy said is accurate. The reason yer messed up is you flashed i9100 bootloaders most likely.

Thank you so much everyone, creepy especially. I struggled with this problem for hours tonight until I was able to get your method to work. I want to cry I'm so relieved. I've only got a few hours until I have to get up for work, but it's all been worth it now that my phone is resurrected. You all are techno-saviors.

Why oh why are people so eager to do things to their phones without even a basic understanding of what they are doing? At least he only resurrected a thread and didn't start a new one.:silly:

U need to flash stock firmware with odin to restore functionality to the phone. Search for "stock firmware uckh7 i777 xda" with Google or search for creepyncrawly's profile here on xda, in his signature he has links to return to stock. Good luck.

Ok this is not being mean or rude, but if you dont know the meaning of these basic terms then you need to stop what your doing and spend some time doing your homework. Will you be with out a phone for a few hours? Yes but this is the price you pay for doing something before you understand what your doing. So please before you do something that cant be fixed. Do the research.

Did you make a nandroid backup of the previous rom and can you get in recovery mode?
if yes restore the backup (ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF A WORKING ROM) or reflash the rom ( wipe cache, dalvikcache, data/factory reset and format system in mounts and storage), If you can`t try to get in downloadmode and flash a stock rom and reroot.
You flashed the rom on what model no? That and infact all the roms here are made for i9300
Sounds like you've bricked it.
Make sure the rom you are flashing supports your device model.

Your device was/is i9300 (international) or US model? If your's was a US model than you're one of many who have flashed wrong ROM.

Omega 9 is for the I9300 only. If you can't get it to turn on, you are bricked and therefore there is nothing you can do to fix it.

I really think that the developers should warn in HUGE bright red letters on the FIRST page of every ROM, that THESE are NOT for U.S. versions of the Galaxy S III.
Really getting old seeing people bricking their phones all the time because they can't take 5 minutes to read 1) What section the are in and 2) All of the information before attempting to install ROM's.

I agree. People have to learn to read before doing this stuff. Before I flashed my S2 I read stuff for a month to make sure I knew what I was doing.

I do kind of agree with this but at the same time if you’re silly enough not to read all the info, then you deserve a brick. 9/10 roms state very clearly what the supported devices are.
It's like the fine print on a contract at the bank really.

Most people only go by the Galaxy S III name. This is one of the MAIN reasons why I think that carrier branded phones should have their own unique names.

He's also asking about what to do on an SPH-D710 in the GT-I9100 forum.
OP, do NOT flash anything from this forum. The device that this forum is for is the GT-I9100, which is a different device than the Sprint Galaxy SII. The GT-I9100 is a GSM phone that doesn't even work on Sprint's network.

Go to the Epic 4G Touch forum I linked you to above.
You won't find answers here in the I9100 forum.

That might be, but that doesn't change the fact that the device you are working with is an Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710), and not an I9100. I9100 users will typically not be able to help you, and files in this forum will not get you out of the situation you have created by doing just that; using a file from this forum, on a device that it was not meant for.
You will find many E4GT users have done the same. They were all likewise directed to the correct forum.
first of all sorry if this is a repeated thread, very new to this site and no offense intended. please point me in the right direction if this is the case.
phone is very unresponsive with either a battery symbol (with circle inside - frozen) or galaxy s2 load up screen with triangle. I have previously rooted the phone with a litening rom through odin v 1.85. i was running a version of ICS on it and this morning i tried to upgrade to jellybean as a forum on this site had said it was possible. firstly in clockwork mod (holding power, vol up and home button) somewhere through the process of putting the file on the phone (instructions said to carry out the process through the clockwork mod) i have made a grave error. If I was able to get the phone to be recognised by the laptop I would be able to flash another stock kernel through odin to at least get me back functional and worry about tweaking later. Currently the phone won't recognise as a drive to the laptop though. Any advice people? Perhaps a suggestion also of a location of stock kernel for australian samsung galaxy s2 (using the virgin network).
That's just a soft brick, don't worry about it .

Hi (newb alert)
First of all thanks for all the info - followed the pistacchio thread to regenerate phone, that worked great. however, now once the phone is going again, repeatedly getting an overvoltage error message (did not have before) and the battery dying very quickly. I also cannot access the 3G network, but wifi is fine.
Can you recommend a course of action for this, not sure if i have flashed back to a complete stock rom or not, does that mean that the phone is still rooted? I would like to flash another rom if possible, but am not asking what one to use (have seen the rules of the site Sometimes the battery is even flashing . kernel version is 3.0.15-I9100XXLPH-CL118559 and build number is IML74K.XXLPH.
Any more info needed I am happy to provide. I was really happy with the slim ICS rom and would like to stick with that in the jellybean option if possible.
thanks
Go as stock as possible before going custom again.
See if issues persists.
Make sure you flash the right ROM for your device, noticed you're on I9100 ROM and you've only stated you own an "s II" , so, I cannot recommend any specific ROM because of the variants.

First off, I am completely new to the android operating system. Ive used iOS since the day the first iPhone was released and have always been in the jailbreaking scene since day one. I don't know any android lingo, so im not exactly sure what what to seach on this website to help get me out of this situation.
Today I rooted my phone, and installed clockwork mod. Watched a boatload of videos online of all sorts of things you can do with root. After installing CW, i rebooted my phone and it would get stuck small blue letters in the top left of the screen saying something about recovery, then continue to vibrate every few seconds. I was able to get the S3 into download mode and now i have no idea what to do with odin to get it to boot back up. Can anyone direct me to a thread that has a download link to re install the OS on my phone if that's whats needed?
Thanks
