that is why it is always suggested that you should take nandroid backup before doing anything...
if u have taken backup before then restore it....
or try flashing stock rom again...
if that gives you bootloops or u are stuck on logo then download the firmware package from unbrick tutorial by feetsonfire (stickies on dev section)
even if that doesn't work then find a friend using acei...take his backup and restore it in ur phone..!!
if u can't access recoverymod then take firmware backup of your friend's acei and flash it via odin in normal way..!!

My friend had accidently bricked his sgs2-G but we managed to fix it.
We've installed stock ICS + root via odin but he's unable to flash an other rom.
Either the the phone stucks in the boot screen or it gets into a bootloop.
Even if we do every singel point in the installation instruction...
We already tried about 6 roms and they all don't want to work. What now???

Please remember that flashing .pit can be dangerous take peoples word for it at your own accord
You must flash a Stock with Odin using the LPH of Android 4.0.3. Know how to do this?
I don't know how but he solved the problem. Somehow he found a working rom.
Anyway we tried everything data/factory reset etc.. And he had a stock ICS. By the way I don't know how but he managed to brick so bad that the phone only booted in the emergency mode :silly:
At least he's unbricked it and now he's using the cMIUI 2.8.10 rom
I have recently tried to put on a custom rom, but when my phone wouldn't boot I flashed back my siyah kernel onto my Galaxy S2 Gt-i9100. Now my phone is stuck on booting, please help.
Hi
Can u get into recovery mode ?
did u make a backup before flashing ? if so u can load your backup as long as u can get into revovery mode.
If u did not make a back up u may have to flash a rom from your computer using Odin.
read some threads on using Odin and recovery.
I'm still new to this so maybe others can give u more help.
good luck
peace
Factory reset if you have no recovery to restore backup. And if factory reset doesn't work, flash stock rom in Odin (assuming you still have download mode).
Can you access download mode?
Power + Vol Down + Home
If yes then flash stock firmware via odin..

Hi
I was wandering if somebody could help me? I tried to flash a liberium rom and also flashed TWRP recovery. Did a backup and tried to boot my phone and it wont boot? It wont go into recovery mode also. It does however go into Download mode.

If somebody could guide me how to get this working please? I would be very grateful. Phone is S3 I9300 (International version)

By your case u can only flash a stock rom via odin.
But it looks if u flashed wrong recovery by the looks of it.
And from that its not a certain return.
But u can always try
Learn how to flash with odin.
And go for it.
Any help u need just pm me

Don't blame on TWRP, you might be doing something wrong.
1. Flash recovery via Odin, TWRP or Phliz touch.
2. Enter recovery to restore your backup, both TWRP and Phliz will work for TWRP format backup, or reflash the ROM /Kernel or whatever you flashed, better do a redownload, file may be corrupted.
3. If you still unable to enter recovery, flash stock firmware via Odin and use Titanium backup to extract / restore your data from recovery's backup.

Hello
I've accidentally flashed a wrong cwm-recovery (meant for some other phone)
After the installation I've rebooted into recovery and it booted the one I already had (that's when I understood it's the wrong one)
Then I've tried to reboot back to my rom but it got stuck on the rom's loading screen
Tried to flash a new rom after using gs2RomWipe
Tried to restore from a nandroid backup
all of them gave the same result.. stuck on the loading screen
Now to my question...
If I flash a stock Rom via Odin.. will it be enough? will I be able to reroot and use my phone normally again?
Or is there an easier way maybe?
i did the same today..
all the time bootloop..
flashing same rom that i was using did not helped..
flashing some other rom helped but cant call cause phone dont see simcard..
flashing some other roms like cyanogenmod also stuck my on bootloop..
I am pretty sure you have to flash via odin.
Update...
I've flashed a stock rom via Odin but it went into a bootloop
when I've entered recovery it said E:failed to mount efs (invalid argument)
so far I've found no way to make the phone work
please help

If you are using i9100.
Then flash philz kernel via odin.
Then boot into recovery.
MOUNT usb storage
Place any rom zip in the root of ex sd card
Flash it with full wipe

It doesn't work...
stock rom wont start, restored nandroid wont start, philz + new rom wont start
I have efs backup as tar.gz but didn't find a normal guide on how to use it without the phone working (i.e adb)
I'm not even sure if the problem is because of the efs missing or not but it seems to be the problem

still nothing...
and it usually takes 1-2 mins max for me
also doesn't explain why stock from odin wont work
It seems to me that I need to somehow fix the efs folder but no idea how to do that
almost all the guides I've seen about that requires the rom to work and use root explorer
the others wasn't clear enough or just not related
according to the shell commands my efs folder is empty
copying the efs folder I have on my sdcard doesn't help because it's not there after reboot
I have a tar.gz as well but not sure how to use it
can I flash the .tar via odin? or some other solution with adb/shell?
or do you think it has nothing to do with my problem?
anyone have any idea how to help me???
I've tried many different ways but my device just wont make it past the loading screen of the rom (doesn't matter which one)
I really have no idea what can cause this problem
thought that flashing stock rom via Odin should fix it but it doesn't help
I've tried some methods I've seen to fix efs problems but so far nothing helped
I'm really desperate at the moment :\
download mode and flash the cwm kernel via Odin should work.

OK.....just a quick thing......Odin flashing a normal single file stock firmware *may* not be the solution as it just overwrites what is already there during the flash. I will provide a link to a three part firmware that wipes the old as it flashes.....this essentially flashes the firmware onto 'pristine' memory partitions....it *might* help......
Here's the link.....
http://www.mediafire.com/?1z5ao5b6r594x45
Search for @Hopper8s Odin troubleshooting guide for instructions on how to flash it.....
Good luck.....
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM

Today I did a build.prop tweak. I changed the dalvik vm heapsize to 48m.When I rebooted it didnt boot up. just stuck up on the samsung logo. I went to CWM recovery (version 5). Wipe data(Factory Reset). Then tried to restore my backup. It stopped in the "Restoring Data" and showed a error. And it didnt recover Data. I rebooted it didnt. I got a bootloop. I tried recovering again. It showed the same error.!
It is still stuck in the bootloop!
Please help me in how to install CWM 6.
Please reply ASAP!
Hey dude,
First of all cool your mind.
Then boot into odin mode by pressing volume down + home + power.
After that press volume up.
After than just flash stock firmware by odin. U will be out of loop. If u want to install cwm 6.0.3.6 than just flash cwm 6.0.3.6 by same method as of flashing stock firmware

Okay. here is what I did with my device fully:
• Changed dalvik vm heap size to 48M.
•After Rebooting the device just stuck to the Samsung image screen ( not a bootloop now ) . Tried many times but still was the same.
• So I thought I will recover and went to CWM. First Wiped data. Then selected Recover. But during recovering Data partition it encountered a error and couldn't restore data.
• After that there was the bootloop.
• Then as you said I went to the guide, downloaded the stock firmware (INS only my phone also) and Odin.
• Selected the PDA and chose the firmware. Clicked start.
•It was there in the "SetupConnection" for a few minutes and then it failed showing "All Threads Completed. 0 Success 1 Failed".
• It was still in Download mode.
•When I removed the USB. The Firmware upgrade error screen came.
I wasn't able to reboot nor go to recovery. It is going only to the download mode!

Hey dude,
Cool your mind.
Just tell which recovery was installed in your mobile. Cwm 5/ cwm6.
If u hv cwm 6 installed then just follow this guide u will be out of bootloop :
Got Bootloop & not able to boot in recovery through key combination as well as through adb command "adb reboot recovery" or flashing other stock firmwares through odin...
Follow Below process for booting in stock recovery...
From @Chirtagh 's deodexd custom rom u have to flash only first file (PARTOFCUSTOMROM-firmware) through ODIN..... thereafter flashing it ll show you android logo updating firmware...Click volume up key 2-3 times and it ll boot in recovery......
Once u get recovery menu clear data n reboot...done enjoy
Download file from below link & extract it on ur desktop
http://www.mediafire.com/download/6o45uk1ouyu76d5/Flash+this+first!!!!!!!!.zip
After than just wipe data.
If u have cwm5 installed. Than first flash cwm 6 via odin in your mobile. After than folllw the above procedure.
If u dont know what you are doing than u should not do that
