hey there
i hope my phone is not bricked, but i've been looking now for two hours for a solution and haven't found anything.
I have a rooted GT-9100 with jelly bean 4.1.2 XWLS8 official Samsung Rom.
In the last few days i was having problems with many apps, especially the video player and the gallery app, which wouldn't start because there wasn't enough memory (even after having deleted all the trash files and dumpstate files).
as i had not made a data wipe after updating from xwssl to xwls8 (i rooted afterwards, i didn't want to reconfigure everything again), i wanted to make a backup before i would try the data wipe now.
So i made the backup with my Rom Toolbox pro on the sd card, rebooted the phone to recovery mode, wiped the data and rebooted the phone. as always the starter mode wanted me to select the language, which i did and then suddenly the screen went black.
It started to reboot and since then the phone is hanging in the Samsung Logo.
i've tried to wipe data, wipe cache partition, wipe kalvik, no success.
tried to restore from the backup i made this morning, says md5 mismatches.
what now? any suggestions?
kind regards skapo

Back to ICS stock (not 4.0.4) via Odin (Get one from Samfirmware or AndroidFirmwares.net), that will give you a clean slate & you can go from there.
Edit - Or....Search on here for the md5 mismatch thing with your backup. There's been plenty of threads on here over the past 18 mths or so. Not sure if these methods work all the time (or even at all, I've never had the problem so never had to use them), but you might as well find the threads & see if any of the suggestions for fixes work for you. Could save you doing a clean install of stock & starting again (which will obviously be somewhat time consuming).
thx for the fast reply
why ics? isn't jb stable enough?
is there actually a pure rom like the nexus phone for the s2? i was wondering if the touchwiz from samsung might be responsible for so many problems...

Worry about all that once you get the phone working normally again, this should be the only thing you're thinking about right now. First thing's first
yeah, you're right. i'll give it a shot i'll update this post tonight. thx
UPDATE:
Ok, i've reinstalled a ICS 4.0.3 I9100XXLPS, Buildnumber IML74K.XWLP7 (whatever this may be, where is the guide to the structure of Android and all the definitions, can't find any proper introduction).
It seems to work fine, but i had to wipe data and wipe cache partition, otherwise the phone still got stuck in the boot loop.
So what now? I've tested the root access, which of course isn't available anymore after flashing the ICS Stock ROM.
Do i need to install first a JB ROM with root access to (try to) restore from my backup or can i do it right from here rooting the ICS ROM?

OK, i think i've got the problem solved:
The first thing i tried is to root the ICS and restore with the CWM. Interesting that this time it didn't give me any md5 mismatch, but it suddenly stopped during the process and the phone booted normally to ICS, in other words the restore didn't work.
So I downloaded the latest SGS2 JB I9100XWLSJ again (i had that one installed before the whole mess), i thought that the one i had installed before may have been corrupted. I flashed the ROM, wiped data, cache and dalvik cache and rooted the phone with Siyah. From there i tried to restore again, but again it stopped because of the md5 mismatch.
At least the new JB ROM booted successfully, which allowed me to access the backup file in the phone's internal sd with my PC.
I edited the nandroid.md5-file with notepad ++ and the md5 calculator. There's a good instruction from here. The folder distribution from the original instruction is a little bit confusing, that's why i've uploaded another one
I recalculated every md5 number for each file in the backup (except the nandroid.md5-file itseld of course and in some cases the .android_secure.img [i didn't have such a file]) and modified the md5 numbers inside the nandroid.md5-file.
That solved my problem :laugh: I was able to restore from my backup .
Even so, the video player app is still crashing. I restored my files and all the config, but with it the same problems i had before :crying:
Good work on finding a solution & posting it here, I'm sure it will help someone at some point in the future
Re: the FC's with the video player (which one ?), sounds like restoring it/it's settings is causing you problems. You might want to try clearing data on it first - go into settings/apps/all & select the app, then clear data; and if that doesn't work, uninstall it then do a clean install without restoring the app or settings. If the settings were backed up on ICS & you're currently using JB, that may be the cause of the FC's.

Hi.
I have not yet noticed anyone with similar problem, so i will appreciate any useful answer.
I would love to have Illusion Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403044 on my SG S2. Everyone says it's a great ROM and sure looks great to. But here's my problem. After flashing and rebooting, phone is stuck at boot screen (some kind moving blue aurora keeps replaying).
I rooted my phone correctly, I saved ROM file in SD card, then I flashed it (like it says in instalation manual) in recovery mode. Everything goes great until reboot. Phone seems to stuck at boot screen.
Supposedly sometimes doubble flash might help, so i tried doing that too. Same issue.
Problem accures only with this rom.
Thanks for any help.
Full wipe and try again.. mine works like a charm.. let me know if still got issues
As squidkhaw says above, you need to do a full wipe as it doesnt say you did in your post above.
Wipe data, cache, and dalvik, then flash rom. Also next time make sure to create a nandroid backup before you wipe or flash anything.
Ok then. What about things like titanium backup?: its not getting activated when u have a root access..
Try to instal super su and check titanium backup whether its ask permission or not.

ok.hi everyone.
i just flashed a cyanogen mod 9 on my phone by using cwm.but things went really bad
all my backup files from titanium backup was deleted and so was all my recovery files
so basically everything is gone.
Now i loved the idea of rooting but i now think i need a lot more knowledge.
so basically i would like to
reinstall ics version 4.0.3 on my phone with its stock kernel..my phone used to be a galaxy s 2 I9100 xwlp8
the cyanogen mod does not even have an app to explore sd.
but its working.
what is the process to clean up my phone and add stock kernel,rom and apps.
please need urgent help.thanks.:crying:
can anything be done if i have an efs backup.plz need help urgently
now then,
just a little more info needed, its not quite clear from your post
1, can you switch your phone on to get into cwm
2, have you got the correct version of cwm installed, i had rhe same issue cannlt access sdcard a while ago
just for info cym romz are generally nightly builds and have a few kinks in them your best waiti.g a couple of weeks before dl,ing so some of these may be fixed (read this in another post sumwhere thanks for heads up whomever it was)
no expert but if you lost your efs folder i think odin can fix if you can get into download mode.
after this use cwm it highly recommended by all.
also next time you install rom steer clear of formatting anything it dangerous just wipe d'cache, cache etc as dev's post's advise where ypu get romz from.
FIXED !!! thanks
ok, ill try to make it simple, ive been working on my tab since 1pm and its 11pm and am still f*cked up
So to make a long story a short one here is what happened
Since i updated to ICS, everything was fine except for flash player not playing my videos anymore, i found a thread explaining how to fix it BUT i didnt reinstall CWM when i update so i actually did (by mistake) a complete reset on my tab (losing all datas, picture, apps etc)
I was wise enough to make a backup on sept 30 b4 i update to ICS
so i found how to re root the tab on ICS, i did it with success, install CWM with odin
then i took rom manager and restore my apps and data and this is where it got complicated
the md5 mismatch popped out, founded how to fix it using terminal emulator, did it then restore
all my apps and settings where back up except for my pictures (its okay i had them saved on my pc)
so i thought i would simply re update to ICS and my life would be great......NOT !
now i keep getting an error: system UI has stopped
went back to recovery tried to wipe everything to factory reset and start all over again,
well my tab is now reset BUT that freaking system UI error keeps coming up and i cant do nothing
the tab is reset but cwm is still installed and i can still restore from my backup so actually i guess it mean the tab is not fully reset.
more, when i plug the usb cable, it doesnt show up on my pc so i cant explore the tab manually
now i dont know what to do, i've been googling for the past 2 hours, cant find a decent solution.
All i want is toget rid of that system ui error, reset the tab and then try again to restore my old backup so i can have my apps then re update to ICS
please, am really desparate, i need help
EDIT :
i think i might have brick my tab
actually while i was waiting for a reply, i went back into Odin and flashed twrp recovery that i got from another website
then i went into recovery and tried again to wipe everythig (cache, devlak and factory reset) i was then back to honeycomb 3.1 but still getting that systemui error
then i've hit system wipe wich has wipe my rom so now my tab isnt rebooting
its stuck on the samsung galaxy tab screen
while i wait for your help, im looking around to find and set back the stock rom
i feel really dumb atm
Try re-install your rom again by using odin

If it were me I would flash stock recovery and stock Honeycomb image and then manually update to ICS using OTA's if stock rooted ICS was the goal. I would not mess with ROM manager or restore apps and data using it as it is likely where you started to get into trouble.
I have seen the system ui error message before myself and it was when I had restored all apps and data blindly over a new install of ICS using titanium. I had to reflash the ROM again and opted instead to manually install the apps after which I restored data for them individually using titanium. Its a pain to do it but the best way to ensure a stable end result. From that point on the lesson learned was to not restore all apps but just the missing ones.

thanks, after i sent that post, i finaly found the stock ICS rom for my tab and installed it,
now am back to the point where i want to restore my apps/data/pictures from my backup that i did with nandroid
thats where i need help, i still get the md5 mismatch but i know how to fix it using terminal emulator but i think the system ui problem comes up because the backup is from a honycomb 3.1 or 3.2 and now the tab is running ICS.
if i reinstall all my apps manually, do you know how i could restore my data from the nandroid backup ?
am trying to find my original 3.1 honeycomb rom but it seem that it doesnt exist on sammobile
Just manually reinstall everything and set it back up without restoring data. Otherwise you're looking for trouble in my opinion.
Just return back to original stock.

Hey guys,
I'd like to return to stock samsung rom, resetting the device to factory setting (keep reading).
Reason for this is
1 I'am experiencing fastidious UI lags issue.
2 I've done several "Restore factory Setting/Wipe all data" and I can see folders of applications I installed at least three roms ago (and not installed anymore). Some of them are empty, some are not.
Maybe my device is just imploding bacause of the number of apps he keeps managing.
Maybe he doesn't like me anymore,
or maybe he is dying of cancer. :crying:
Info about my device:
Kernel: Siyah 1.8.9
1st ROM: Samsung 4.1.1
2nd ROM: CM10.1, 20120117 build
Goal:
I'd like to return to Stock Kernel with the stock 4.1.2 Samsung firmware.
So, how can I REALLY reset my device, starting againg form where I indicated?

Anyone help????//??
The absolute cleanest way, is to do a mega wipe. Use Titanium Backup to save all the apps you want/need (NO SYSTEM APPS). Then, Factory Reset/Wipe Data, wipe internal sd card and wipe external sd (if you have one). Backup all pictures, photos and files you want on your pc first, then wipe everything. The Megawipe script can help you with this. Follow up by downloading one of the new 4.1.2 deodexed roms (Preferably LKC or LLA). You can keep the stock kernel or choose from my main 2 - Perseus Kernel or Yank kernel
Umh.. I'm not sure I got it.
First, I should remove Siyah kernel and the second ROM right?
How can I do it?
Will the Siyah Kernel be overwritten when I'll write the Stock Samsung 4.1.2 firmware?

Yes.
There is a sticky .
One run Triangle Away reset rom counter to zero .
Two flash your original saved stock rom Via Odin = wipes phone .
Three factory reset .
Four boot to download mode check status original and count is 0.
Boot phone settings about phone Status device status not modified .
Finally check there are no left over root apps on the phone .

Need detailed info on this, anyone willing to help?
all the details are there for you to read
Thank you, anyway I'd like to advise that flashing via Odin doesn't format anything.
Step 0 is: Do a full data wipe (if you do it after triangle remover, I think counter will be incremented to 1, not tried though... )

Now im ****ed up! Im stuck at boot logo (samsung) need urgent help. it all happens after installing font installer. My phone was rooted. I want a clean format and i ended at this problem.
sometime flashing rom and than flah another rom may cause lag even the rom are really smooth. Try this, it work for me. Wipe Data, Cache Partition, Clear dalvike cache, format system and format preload. As far as i know, preload where it chaching framework. Sometime when flashing and keep flashing rom that different framework, the cache still there. that may cause lag.

If you want a clean install, without lags, I'd recommend not messing about with the fonts. Try running it stock for a while and see if your lags have gone, before fiddling with it.

THIS IS ONE QUICK/SIMPLE ERROR FREE ROM FLASHING PROCEDURE
This should eliminate a few posts saying, stuck in download mode, stuck at logo. just vibrates and them MANY other issues that somehow, everyone seems to find.
Here is my quick rom flashing process I use ALWAYS (yes always)
THINGS YOU NEED ON extSDCARD
1. Extra kernels (2 or 3 you know works for your device)
2. Optional: 2 recoveries that can be flashed (I use CWM & TWRP)
3. Optional: apps.zip (a zip created from Titantium BU, containing Root Explorer, TU Backup, Quickpic, ES File Explorer and Terminal Emulator)
Flashing the rom: TOUCHWIZ/AOSP ROMS
1. Backup current rom (to the extsdcard)
2. Complete wipe, (I do complete, some people do not) Complete = No Issues [FACTORY RESET + CLEAR CACHE + CLEAR DALVIK CACHE + CLEAR DATA]
3. Flash the rom
4. Flash the kernel (your device kernel) (I know some roms have their own kernel) this is where your problems start.
AGAIN: FLASH YOUR KERNEL, you KNOW it works. 1 more time FLASH YOUR KERNEL. (you can experiment with other kernels after you boot)
AOSP ROMS - require you to flash gapps before you boot. [This is not required for TouchWiz roms]
5. Boot the rom.
FINISHED!!!! SUCCESS!!!
Total time to flash a rom:
7-10min
Errors - NONE
This goes for every rom in my guide.
TIPS:
This flash procedure is for Touchwiz Roms, if you are flashing AOSP roms, you must flash the gapps package associated with the rom you are flashing.
**** SGH-I337M Users: Often requires flashing a different kernel than the one included in most ATT ROMS. Any GT-i9505 kernel will work and Adam kernel and Faux kernel are both confirmed working for us Canadian users.
Note: Flash KERNEL directly after ROM then reboot device.
[Special thanks to blyndfyre for this helpful tip].
The extra recovery I flash if a rom does not like the recovery I am using.
Yes, you can flash recoveries back and forth.
Apps.zip I flash after the rom is up & running. This I use to get the rom setup (like root explorer and others needed)
I am in no way responsible for anything that may do damage to any device - Use these tips at your own risk - period!

I've been running into a lot of issues when trying to flash different ROMs. For instance, right now I'm on CleanROM 1.6 - I just tried to install PureGv2.
Steps I took:
Have Goo and ROM Manager installed after clean install of CleanROM 1.6
Flash CWM from ROM Manager
Install Recovery Script from Goo
Reboot into recover from Goo
TWRP loads
Wipe data, cache, dalvik, etc
Install PureGv2
I forget the error off the top of my head but it doesn't install
In a nutshell I'm asking what am I doing wrong? Do I need to flash another kernel?
Flash your verizon kernel. Correct. I know it is a vzn rom, but do it anyway.

Was looking through Tomsgt's Youtube channel and stumbled across a video of his that showed his "About Phone". Everything was identical to mine, so I'm still a little lost as to why I can flash certain ROMs but not others. Sac/Gru's ROM soft bricked my phone, Hyperdrive5.7 didn't install, CleanROM does. It's just funky...maybe I'll just Odin back to stock, flash the MDK and start fresh.
Could the downloads be a problem? I downloaded 2 of the ROMs from work today on a 50meg pipe and they didn't work.
Do you download the ROMs to your phone or to your computer and then move them to your SD card?
If you download to your phone, do you move them to the SD card or leave them in the download folder on the internal storage?
If you do the latter, do you use a micro SD adapter or plug the phone in and move them that way?

Download to the computer,then copy to the phones extsdcard, should be ok, make sure you do a md5 check on the files to make sure they are the correct size.

Remember always do a BACKUP before you do anything.
First off, big thanks for this thread.

I certainly scared the carp outta me the other night. I'm using the Carbon ROM and while I do like it, I miss a couple of the S4s features. I picked what looked like a good modified stock ROM and proceeded to flash it.
I'm using Goo and TWRP for the job. I checked of all 3 boxes for clearing cache, davik and factory reset.
Then I chose the file and started it.
The first result, it acted like if was doing everything but nothing changed. Phone still worked fine.
On the next try, I waited for TWERP to start and I reselected the ROM I wanted and flashed it.
When it booted up, I was very happy to see the original screens come up. Then it stopped on the one with the Verizon check mark. The blue LED slowly pulsing and nothing else for about 30 min. I removed battery to try and start over. Same thing again.
Time to goto my backup and restore my phone back to Carbon.
IT FAILED.
Now my phone is stuck in a weird looking boot up loop. After a few tries I was able to get into recovery
mode. TWRP started loading, froze and crashed! Even though I am a total noob at this, I still did not panic.
I'd restart my phone by removing the battery, going into recovery mode and then wildly press every button on my phone hoping to break the loop. It worked! I chose a different save and tried it all over again. FAIL.
ON the next I wiped every bit of old data off. Chose Factory restore crossed my fiingers....it work! My phone is fine now.
Thanks to that ordeal and this thread I think I know what I did wrong even though this never happened to me. before.
1) WIPE THE DATA
2)INSTALL A COMPATABLE KERNAL FIRST

Flashing Questions
So, if you just need to add something, like different Kernerl, do you have to wipe and start from scratch?
Should you.
If so, and you backup apps and data in Titanium, then what you do a full wipe, flash entire rom, and reinstall the apps and data associated therewith?
Last, I have asked this but cannot seem to get an answer.
Installed Hyperdrive 7 (also had 5.7 and 6). Rom is super smooth and fast, working like a charm. but I want Verizon Visual Voice Mail.
I tried to copy the apk file to the devices system/app directory but get permission denied message....tried to install, and get failed message....

did you set the permissions for the app? That should work actually. Look at one of the apps in that directory, and set the permissions the same for the voice app. Reboot and see what happens.
Good luck.

Sorry if this is dumb, but how do I know what kernels for sure work with my device and how do I get them to my external sd card? I suppose the one that is currently on my device(how to get that to sd?), but what others?
Thanks.

Please bring the question over to my thread up above. It shows also what kernels to use. We will help there.
Another noob question: so you still advise flashing a kernel even if the ROM creator says that the ROM comes with the appropriate kernel and that no extra flashing is required? I've got the Verizon Galaxy S4 variant and specifically am thinking of Dubbsy's Google Play Edition ROM.

You would flash the rom, and after, flash your verizon kernel, simple as that.
