HI,
Galaxy s2 i9100, stuck on "Samsung galaxy S II gt-i9100" screen, unable to get into recovery.
The problem occurred after updating CWM recovery from rom manager.
What can I do?
Should i try flash stock rom via Odin? Download mod still reachable.
Or should i try flash recovery?
comming from wanam 14.1.
any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Which version of Android is Wanam 14?
Since u cannot enter recovery, flash via Odin is ur only option. I don't think flashing a recovery would help..
I have heard many people warn against using ROM Manager with i9100.

Then flash stock firmware via Odin.
And next time, stay away from ROM Manager.

Full wipe was done in stock recovery, not Odin.

Hi there,
I have a I9100 which was running the samsung stock Android 4.0.4 on the 3 network in the UK which I installed CWrecovery on and rooted. I downloaded an official update via the system update function yesterday and continued installing the update not thinking the root would effect anything, however the the install got stuck on the install screen (like the image attached) while constantly flashing on and off every 3-4 seconds, I pulled the battery after and hour or so. When I power on now it just shows the samsung sII logo along with the triangle and then goes straight back to the android install screen, I also can't go into recovery.
What would be the best thing to do in this instance? would re-flashing a recovery program work?
Thanks for any help!
Whatever happens, DO NOT WIPE DATA OR DO A FACTORY RESET! 4.0.4 is prone to the notorious eMMC brickbug!
Try downloading the new firmware manually and flashing via Odin.

Is there a method for rooting stock jellybean on the I9100? can I use the same tar file and method as I did with ICS?

U mean using CF Root kernel to root?
For JB, u can root using a custom kernel like Siyah, using Odin. This will install CWM recovery also and give u root access.
Or u can try the Universal Method to root without installing CWM recovery.

I used CF root and odin last time, any advantage to using Siyah, or Universal Method?

Universal method is intended for those who only want rooted stock firmware, but donot want to flash custom ROMs (no CWM recovery).
Some people have reported issues with CF Root for JB, so Siyah is an alternative. I don't think there are any particular advantages.

I'm currently running Avatar JB ROM (best thing ever!) on my i900p with no problems, but this morning I cracked the screen so it's going back to Orange and I need to return to stock.
My question is can I just flash the stock Orange ROM over the top via ODIN or do I need to flash a different kernel too? I read something about ICS/JB kernels not mixing and the stock Orange is ICS.
Thank you
No need to flash a different kernel. Just flash stock ROM via Odin. You may do a factory reset before flashing also.

So today i felt like restoring a previous nandroid backup i made a year ago. i was on 4.0.4 stock+siyah and wanted to go to jelly bean if im not mistaken (cant remember for sure tho). Thing is i tried to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, but still, i cannot get rid of this bootloop. any ideas ? thanks
PD: id prefer not flashing a stock rom with odin nor restoring back to my other backup if possible
That may be what you'd prefer, but think about it logically given what you've already tried/what hasn't worked. You don't have any other option.
Am confused..
Is the OP trying to restore 4.0.4 or is he already on it?

Since solving the bootloop is more important now, I suggest you do what MistahBungle said..
Flash a stock JB firmware via Odin, then if bootloop is overcome, you can root it and restore your JB backup.

Amazing that the guy who suggested the most logical (and only) fix got ignored for 3.5 hours, yet the OP ends up accepting the same advice from other people. The stupidity of people on here never ceases to amaze me.

Hi,
Sometimes I have bootloops after rebooting the device. It even happens when I try to reboot to recovery mode.
So what I do after getting this is take out the battery, wait like 10 seconds and then return it.
After that it is just fine.
How can I solve this?
More details first.
Which device and variant?
Which rom and/or kernel?
Rooted or not?

Must be a bug with the rom..
Why not check if any others have similar issues?
To sort it out, try:
1. Different kernel
2. Doing a wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. Doing a full wipe
4. Doing a re-flash of Jellybam
5. Restore to stock
