Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. Android v4.0.4 LQ7
I am a noob so sorry if my question is stupid.
I have rooted using method 1 in that thread and it worked great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Then I downloaded the app ROM Manager and downloaded CM9 RC2 since it appeared to be a stable.
I used ROM manager to download the file cm-9.0.0-RC2-galaxys2.zip
Once downloaded I saved that file in the external SD Card and used ROM Manager to reboot in recovery mode and install the ROM.
The installation progress fine and complete. I then reboot my phone.
When rebooting the phone displays the Samsung galaxy S2 screen and then switched to Cyanogen (mod) 9 screen. From there nothing happens. The phone won't boot. I tried to removed the battery which is the only way to turn the phone off and reboot in recovery and reinstall the file but the same thing happens.
Please help!
You've probably installed wrong zip for your device/variation.
Specifically which GS2 have you got?
Did you wipe date/factory reset?
Try wiping before and after flashing?
Get the CM9 nightly and flash that instead or try flashing Siyah kernel over the one that is on your device now. I personally use Goo Manager from market as you can download/update/notifications and browse compatible roms via that.

I have a GT i9100 Galaxy S2.
what would happen If I did a factory reset/data?
All I did was installing from external SD card nothing else.
Thanks

If you do a wipe/reset it will clean all your installed apps/app data and restore settings to clean install.
Its advisable to do this whenever you are flashing a different rom. Its easy to backup and then restore all your apps automatically and silently (without intervention) in a few clicks after installing new rom with titanium backup (pro).
Reboot into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Install CM9 Nightly from internal or external card.
Install latest CM9 gapps
Reboot system.

Gapps is basically Google apps it gives you the play store and sometimes face unlock. Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache before updating to CM9? That's one of the main reasons why ROMs don't boot up. Also first time boots do take a while about 10-15mins...

Hey yeah it did help thanks. I have now a working phone again. I am getting used to CM9 it is such a smooth OS. By the way on ICS 4.0.4 i was able to get the battery percent number displayed on the top near the battery icon. I can't find that on CM9? it used to be in the settings/display on ICS
Thanks guys

Thanks. for that. Do you guys know of a shortcut button to turn the mobile data on or off, like the power button does on ICS?
Also I would like to raise an issue with the ROM Manager App. I cannot do a backup of my current ROM. Every time I try to do so the App freezes. It did the same when I first rooted my phone and I was on the Stock ROM I was unable to do a backup then.
Is this something that happen often with Rom manager?
Thanks

Don't use ROM Manager, due to its incompatibility with most kernels and the S2.
Here's what to do about the short cut for mobile data:
Options –> System –> Notification Drawer –> Widget Buttons –> Toggle Mobile Data
It'll be there at the top when you pull down the drawer, if it's not immediately visible just slide the icons to the side and you'll see it.

You always do backups in recovery mode, Rom Manager (if compatible kernel) simply automates teh process of rebooting into recovery and starting backup.
Depending on your rom/version you can do this via power menu anyway (reboot into recovery).
STOP USING ROM MANAGER!
It can & most likely will fuc& your fone up. If u want to learn I suggest u read all of chainfires posts, then check out the SGSII Bible in the GS2 section. Then get urself the correct tar file for the Cf root kernel specific to ur country or region. That will get u outta the ****e if this ever happens again. Read up on all things root etc. u could do with learning what Odin is too!

Thanks for that. I think I know what Odin is. Thank you so much for that post. You have opened a whole new world! I have opened the SG2 bible I wish I have done that before. I am about to do a back up now. but I have not been able to do a back up of my original stock ROM since I was trying to do it with ROM Manager and it would freeze all the time. I think it is the worse that I could have done I have changed my ROM and didn't not do a back up before. i guess I will never be able to revert back to my stock ROM. Thanks again for you precious advises they have been very helpful!
Naa m8, u can always go back to a stock, u just need to tell me your country & the modem & ROM version, mine was stock Uk 4.0.3 & once you have that you can flash it with Odin then flash the Cf root kernel. you would then be on a totally stock ICS ROM but with root & CWM recovery so you can then flash anything you like. If you give me the country & which ROM (ICS or GB) you would like I can give you the necessary files for Odin.
Do not, I repeat DO NOT flash a stock ROM & stock unrooted kernel as if u do a full wipe it will hardbrick ur fone!

There's an even easier way....
Go here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071
then simply download the stock unbranded firmware for your country. it doesn't have to be your specific country but it helps as it has the csc etc that you need. Once you have downloaded it simply flash it with Odin & you will be running stock ICS 4.0.3 but with root so you can then flash CM9, but seriously I would highly recommended Omega v15. It's close to stock but sooooo much more. Im in all day if u need help
Sent from My Omega powered beast, using Xparent ICS
Hey thanks for that. I was thinking of doing a back up of my stock ROM in case I wanted to revert back to it one day. I will have a look at that thread and let you know of my phone details too. I really appreciate your help. As far as using Odin goes I am not very familiar with it so I'll need to read a Guide on how to use it.

Oh by the way any idea why I can only connect to the play store via wifi? Using data it won't work even though Web browsing, FB, emails, etc all work fine. I am running CM9 nightly build.

In that case you will need to flash an appropriate modem file for your device or possibly check APN details.
You can get modem via dev section (use search) and APN settings from your carrier or google.
I have an AT&T Note that I rooted using the Odin method. I was running stock ICS and I know the root worked because I was able to install Google Now and it worked fine.
So I decided I wanted to try a different ROM. I just wanted to install bigfau's cleaned up stock rom found here. I put the zip file on my phone, booted into CWM, did a wipe, found the zip, said it installed fine and then I rebooted. At boot it just sits at the Samsung screen. I let it sit for 30 minutes, still nodda.
So I grab odin and flash back to stock ICS. Use the same method to root and I try a different ROM. This time the Pure Stock ICS from bigfau, same problem.
Odin back to stock, root, and I try parandoidandroid found here - same problem.
Do it all again and try a ROM from another site called HYFR Only One, which is a SGS3 based rom. Same deal.
The only thing I can get it to do is ODIN to stock. Am I missing something?
(I have another rooted galaxy note that I do not have any issues with flashing roms but it was already rooted when I got it.)

Rooted has nothing to do with flashing a ROM, having CWM or TWRP will give you the cap to flash a ROM.
I have used these Recovery types for flashing:
Touch CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
After you have CWM of some type ensure you are doing a clean wipe, this is how I perform my wipes:
1. Download to sdcard
2. Reboot to CWM-based Recovery
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe Cache partition
5 Go into advanced> Wipe Dalvik Cache
6. Go into> Mounts & Storage
a. Format /data
b. Format /system
c. Format /cache
Install rom & Reboot
After the first boot up let it sit for a few min to build...then do your set ups.
btw there is a Q&A section.

I apologize if I did not make this clear but I have Rom Manager installed and CWM was updated to the latest version. I would reboot into CWM, do a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik caceh, install rom and reboot. It would just sit at the samsung screen. I did not go into mounts and storage and do that but I will now. The process I use on my AT&T note is the same process I used on my Rogers note and I am able to install any ROM i want on my rogers note.
I have flashed roms probably over 100 times since my samsung captivate. I just didn't know if the note had another step involved. Like S-Off on HTC phones for example.
I have been using the standard version of cwm but I am trying the touch version now. Will update.
Same problem. I am uploading a video to youtube now. I will post in a minute or so.
did you check if bootloader is unlocked?

Animatechnica - It is my understanding that the bootloader is not locked on the Galaxy Note. I have not seen anything about unlocking the bootloader in any thread on the i717.
elry567 - do not have busy box installed - never saw anything requiring it to be installed. I will try that as well.
Well this time I got a status 7 error in CWM which can be a lot of different things. I am up to date on CWM, the rom I know works for the galaxy note (I am running it on my other one AND I have seen video of it working on an AT&T branded Note) so I don't know. I did a google search on the error and everything I found does not seem to apply. It is really starting to piss me off. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the video, sorry about my cam skills but you get the gist. I took this video with a i717r that is running the rom I want to install on the phone in the video.
Are you entering recovery with the phone off then using the buttons, or flashing from rom manager?
You should be doing it by the button method.

Done both, doesn't seem to make a difference. I will definitely use the button method from here on out though.

HOLY F&(%*&G $&!t twrp may have worked. I had to go full back to 100% stock with 3e recovery and 0 flash counter. Use a new root method, flash twrp via goo app and so far so good.
Seriously I do not know who you are but I could kiss you. I wonder why CWM wouldn't work? I have used it to load custom roms on just about every other android phone I have had.
OH well, consider this solved.

I recently attempted to root my HTC thunderbolt, and to do so I used the htc dev unlocker and then this "HTC Thunderbolt Tool'
rootzwiki.com/topic/27310-all-in-one-the-htc-thunderbolt-tool
After that I downloaded a rom and installed it through the 4ext recovery, it all install fine and I did do a factory/data reset but whenever I reboot after the rom install, I get the HTC white bootloader and then the screen become black with a back light to it.
I have tried a number of times to re-install the rom and have tried to use other roms but all of them seem to end the same way.
I have used:
BAMF FOREVER 1.1
BAMF MECHA ICS
AIRBORNE GOUI
Killsense 3.7.19
Lightning501
few more
My phone is a HTC Thunderbolt and when I attempted to root the phone it had a hboot version of 1.0.8 and had a stock version of ICS installed.
Sadly I have a phone without a working rom and I had forgot to make a backup so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Preferably I would like to keep the phone rooted but its not necessary.
Thank You
I'm a total xda-developor noob, so I hope I didn't mis a thread with a the solution all ready on it.
Make sure you do the factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache. Flash the ROM and reboot. Sounds like your missing a step somewhere 8)

I have tried clearing everything but still doesn't seem to work.
One thing I forgot to mention is sometimes if I wait long enough on the blank screen It boots me back into the 4ext recovery, don't know if that makes much of a difference.
The way I have been installing the rom
Load ROM onto the SD
Do a "wipe data/factory reset"
Go into install sd and choose the Rom which is in a .zip file
I think this is how its supposed to be done, but not sure.

Problem is you were coming from the ICS OTA.
The All In One Tool alone will not get you rooted after taking the OTA.
In order to fully root and s-off after having the OTA loaded, you would need to follow the steps outlined HERE

You can use whatever Recovery you want, Clockwork Mod is old and not really suggested to use, especially with newer roms.
I miss the RA recovery I had on my first bolt. I use the ext4 recovery now. Glad Santod was able to help you out!!

Followed the instructions on the main page of official CM 10.1 & ended up with a bootloop. Wiped caches and user data over & over with no change, so I'm about to downgrade back to 4.0.4 using RSD lite. I'm still determined to get to CM 10.1 on this device though but how do I do that now?
I saw "setting 2init" but I can't make any sense of what it means or how I can make use of it.
While trying to figure it out, I found the guide to upgrade to official JB but the JB OTA file it points to is for the xt912 (I'm using the xt910).
NOTE: I'm not going with the official JB, but it is the only other comprehensive guide I could find for upgrading from 4.0.4.

No. thankfully I can still get to recovery & fastboot
Make sure you install it in second system, your razr will bricked if you install on the first system
And also, make sure you wipe cache/dalvik cache before flashing and factory reset(if you are going to install a other rom) . You need to format /system and wipe cache/dalvik if you are going to update cm10.1 to a new nightly .

Yea.... I never saw this and it's exactly what I've done. Downloading the original ICS roms from it's country of origin to see if I can restore right back to factory settings. I can still go into Recovery mode & I installed the rom to the 2nd slot but I'm not getting anything.

Maybe because of the kernel?? Make sure you dowloaded the cm10.1 for gsm and not for CDMA and also not for the Jelly bean kernel. Can you boot to the first system, which is the stock ROM?

You are now using the official cm10.1. and why does your first system is gone? its dangerous, dont leave it like that, make the stock rom as a backup if something happens at the other system
the reason its showing nothing when you booted your phone is becuase you have wiped you first system! so now i recommend you to factory reset in the stock revocery and flash the 672.180.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU firmware at this link : http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...SPDRICSRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip
so you can get the jelly bean leak without erasing your cid (not for the xt912). after that, you can install cm10.1 . The tutorial are here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192532
I literally just finished using RSD Lite to reflash a new ICS rom back onto stock slot. So I'm safe. I'll be working with slot 2 now.
So TheMrcool212 you're saying to use the tutorial to pave the way for CM 10.1? Does it matter that my device is from the UAE?

yes, because the recovery is installed on the first system, if your device is from UAE, its just doesnt matter, but i recommend you to flash the European firmware so you can get the jelly bean leak
I couldn't find the "set 2-init" option in BMM so I skipped it and CM 10.1 is working just fine (installed with bmm) :good:
dont forget to flash whirleys "why we have to...zip" file after flashing cm10.1

you can set 2-init by going to first bootmenu screen > settings > (the system number of the rom you want to set) > boot mode >

Followed the instructions:
To apply the JB OTA you have to be on 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU without any Modifications, like deleted System Apps or changed Boot.img / Baseband.
I recommend to start with an fresh RSD Lite - Flash, before you try to apply the OTA.

I keep getting lucky with this thing. Apparently part of the problem was that the battery was flat. Odd seeing as I made sure to be 100% before I got started.

I used RSD Lite. Yes I am. About to root & go on to the next steps:
Downloads
OTA Update Zip
Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper
How To
I'll show you how you have to apply the Update without loosing your Root.
1. Copy the Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU.zip into the Root of your external SD-Card
2. Update your SU-Binarys
3. Install the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper on your Device and open it. Choose Protect Root and temp. unroot
4. Boot into Stock Recovery
5. Wipe Cache
6. Choose apply Update from external Storage and select the Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU.zip. Wait untill the Update-Process is finished and your RAZR is booted completely
7. The last step is to open the Voodoo Rootkeeper again and to restore your Root.

To be clear. After this, what do I do to get CM 10.1. Follow these instructions? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028020 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39166589&postcount=914
UPDATE
Followed the instructions. Got nothing. Not even the cyanogenmod logo. At least now I have the stock rom running Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU.
I was on TWRP and reloaded the stock recovery twice, RUU'd the stock hboot and radios according to .torrented's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740
I can do the first OTA update. The second one downloads and attempts to install but about 1/3 of the way into the install, I get the red triangle. I cannot boot into recovery. It just gives me a red triangle. The phone works fine and I still get the 4.2.2 update/install nag but it won't install.
I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
Reloaded TWRP. Guess I will stay on 3.06 for a while longer.
Using fastboot commands on your computer type fastboot clear cache and see if that helps your recovery issue.

The red triangle screen, is stock recovery.
If you hold volume up and power, you'll get a menu.
In that menu, you would choose to install from cache.
But due to it not doing it automatically, I'd say it's gonna fail to complete the update anyways.
You must be on a full odex stock Rom for the update to take.
If you removed any system apps, it will fail...
My stock Odex full JB Rom and stock recovery from same thread is all that's needed to successfully take the OTA.
I also posted the kit Kat update in stock form, fwiw.

Trying your update now. Using TWRP for the rom and adb for the firmware
Worked! Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion. That didn't work but I used a method to unlock a long time ago where I had to change my CID. As the roms progressed from the 2.0x, things with recovery and root were spotty at best.
Funny how not wanting to reset my phone long ago lead to me resetting it 4 times trying to get this update to work.
