I flashed the new Viper 2.0 and I am having the same problem. I came from Elegancia ROM, flashed the kernel for viper then did factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe for 2.0 independently before full wiping in the ROM. Everything else seemed to work but I remember at the set up screen there wasn't an option to install Wi-Fi.
I tried flashing the ROM again on top of the newly installed viper 2.0 but still the Wi-Fi just says it's turning on.
Going to start over again with full wipe to see if it works this time.
Edit: shouldn't have said everything else worked because didn't do full test. Just got install failed message and next screen said install successful where the reboot system, wipe buttons are. Does boot and go through motions but no radio it seems. MD5 checked out for both kernel and ROM. Starting over with new downloads.

Ok so here was my soultion after msgn turge, the kernal in the ZIP folder is ****ed up, u need to go to post 2 in the thread (nice bold red note cause of me haha) get that kernal. Now when I went to flash, I usually use fastboot flash bootimg boot.img
For what ever reason I got many errors until I did full wipe, caches and all, and before I let it try to boot I caught it into boot loader .
To flash it sucessful I had to use fastboot flash boot boot.img. very subtle difference from the other one... But made all the difference.
Full working here, clean smooth. WiFi on.

So I rooted with HTC method with hboot 1.5.
I have lots of roms on it to check the speed, battery life, features of them but there has been a problem with many ROMs (MIUI, ICS alpha, Mik, Infected, Warm) all will act "wonky" after couple of days of using the rom. They will show red lines, slow downs, temporary freezes, battery would drop by 1% every 30 sec.
So, the usual thing to do is restart and BAM! They rom's logo shows up and it freezes there. Do I need a new radio update or RUU or something?
Never encountered anything close and I've been tweaking phones since the Moto Q days!
New radios might help. Are you wiping EVERYTHING before flashing?
We're comin from a pure power source.
How can I flash this new radio? Just install .zip of the file from recovery, correct?
I do "factory reset" on the twrp 2.0 recovery before I install any rom

I'm using twrp2 and I do
Factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvic cache
Wipe system
Factory reset (again)
Flash Rom
Reboot system.
And i never have any bootloops or stuck in HTC white screen or any issues.

Yea. Factory reset isn't enough. I encountered that issue when doin restores on me og evo. I had to wipe cache and dalvik to get it to work.
We're comin from a pure power source.
Use cwm older 4 version as recovery.
Fastboot boot recovery.img. make sure you have a copy of it in your adb folder.
Wipe everything and flash rom
OK ill try that.
What about backup and restores, my nAndroid backups don't work

Either one of two things:
your phone is defective
stop using so many apps for stuff like checking on system statuses. Just install a ROM fresh and leave it for a week with just your base essential apps like email and stuff. If the problem doesnt arise you know all your crap is causing it.
A radio update isnt going to do anything for a system issue as it is just your signal and stuff that the radio firmware would affect.
Sounds like the flash went bad due to not a full wipe or boot.img.
Twrp 2.0 is known to have its own issues.
Update: So I have infected rom installed for a couple of days, installed it using the method mentioned with wiping cache, dalvik cache, system, battery stats and guess WHAT?
It happend again, I would lose touch screen and touch button control, only way to regain control was to close screen by hitting power and waiting a few seconds and pressing it again to open the screen. Got fed up after a while and decided a battery pull, froze of Infected LOGO
Is it the way I flash the rom that is causing issues? I install the zip first with cwm 2.0 then I connect to computer and type "fastboot boot boot.img" to push the boot.img for that rom.

Do this man
Get cwm 4.0 version ok now flash that then leave a copy of it in your adb folder where adb is...
Now make sure debug is on
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img
Then wipe everything but not your SD card
and flash rom works this way just like the S off users use. You don't have to use flash gui or pull boot img..
So I took out twrp 2.0 recovery and put clockworkmod 5.0
I don't know why but I cant boot into the recovery without connecting my phone and pushing the .img through fastboot
Well at least two things are solved, after a restart the rom doesnt freeze and I dont have to fastboot boot.img for installing a new rom.

cwm 4 is better for this phone dude. he said 4 not 5.
Hi guys.
Been trying to figure this our for hours.
I flashed AOSPxXx-ICS-20121111 on my phone but not it runs brutally slow. It takes a like 30 seconds to launch apps.
I followed this steps.
booted to cwm
wiped user data
wiped cache
wiped dalvik cache
install rom
rebooted
let it sit for 10+ mins
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Wipe all of the above, plus the system partition.
I cant confirm that the new rom wipes the system partition for you, but if not, then you dirty flashed.
that will cause all kinds of trouble.
Also, did you add any mods like a new kernel ?
I ultimately suggest a new full wipe, and flash. and even a new download of the rom to ensure a clean build.
Sometimes they arrive all borked up....g
Rewipe reflash nd if persist reboot a couple times sometimes it can be slow after aa flash give a couple of reboots nd itll snap too
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
What else did you flash? Theme, modem,??
Just wipe and re flash. Don't restore apps, get them from the market.
All I did was flash a new rom, nothing else. I will try again =)
ok i finally got it to work. used odin and restored ics 4.0.4 =)
Hey XDA, I was hoping you could help me out here. I just don't know what to do anymore. So, here goes.
I decided to flash the Terrasilent kernal. All went well during installation. When I booted back into the stock rom after flashing my kernal, I saw that some system apps (gmail and market) were not installed. The icons were there, but they said they weren't installed. Also, all photos, videos, ect were gone. I already had them backed up, so no big deal. So, to try to fix it, I went into Odin and tried to reflash my stock rom through there. Everything worked fine, all was well. That's when I discovered my file system was messed up. Pretty much, it only displays /sdcard/Android, as well as /sdcard/DCIM/, /sdcard/LOST.DIR/ and /sdcard/external_sd/. So, I went ahead and attempted to reflash my kernal (custom kernal, terrasilent if you want to know.) to see if it would fix my ****. **** was not fixed, to say the least. And when Odin said it failed, I flipped out and did the stupidest thing imaginable; I unplugged my USB cable. So, I went and tried to boot up, and got the picture you get when you can't go into recovery, boot up or even download more. A cell phone connecting to a pc picture. So, then I tried following some guides on XDA to fix it, reflashed some stuff, and got close to fixing it. I reflashed my partition table and then tried to flash my terrasilent kernal once more, and it booted up into recovery with no issue. Btw, the kernal installs CWM recovery. But when I tried to reflash my stock rom, it didn't boot up. It said in Odin that it succeded, but in the recovery (which changed back to stock android recovery, I am not sure why) and I got a bunch of errors saying I'm missing all sorts of files. Like, E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument) or E:copy_kernal_file :: Can't open /cache/recovery/recovery_kernal.log. XDA, please help me. I need this fixed, I can't afford to buy another phone, I'm broke. Help me.

I believe what you need to go is go into the android recovery by holding volume up + power. Once you get in there Wipe data/factory reset, and Wipe cache Partition because I believe it's bootlooping.

It didn't work. What do I do now? I tried to flash the Terrasilent kernel over it (which came with CWM) and it gave me the CWM recovery and kernel, but still nothing works. I tried reflashing the rom too but I can't get it to boot, just download mode and recovery loads now.

Well good thing is you're not hardbricked. Have you followed all these steps in this order?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28849870
Do you have the 4.0 stock rom? (Don't use the one I linked since it's for the 5.0). Also did you try wiping the dalvick?

Yes, I followed all those steps perfectly. I have reflashed my stock rom multiple times before. And I have wiped dalvick cache when I was able to get into my CWM recovery a few times to no avail. My pc recognized the device just fine until today. I just flashed my .pit file and the terrasilent kernel through heimdall, and now my device isn't being read through Odin OR Heimdall. It is recognized by my pc but not by those programs. And yes I am in download mode. I also tried flashing back to stock before but the recovery just gave me a bunch of red text errors.

I can't really see the photo, can you type out the error codes lol.
Hi my phone is behaving as though it is bricked but its never been flashed until now. the phone was working fine all of a sudden the phone wont boot up in normal mode but will boot in download mode and recovery.
if i do a battery pull and the power on phone it boots straight to recovery. I have tried flashing two different stock roms and also installed siyah kernel and a custom rom but same issue when trying to boot up with a reboot in recovery the screen stays black and the computer recognises it a Sec S5PC210 Test B/D
Phone boots okay in recovery and download just not normal mode
Edit when i put siyah kernel and add second rom it starts booting but then the rom is in bootloops ????
Are u flashing roms through odin? If so try flashing it via cwm recovery. Before u do that try wiping cache, Dalvik cache and then Flash rom.

when flashing through cmw it boots rom bot rebooting the phone it crashes and with odin phone jus boots into recovery
I think you flashed siyah kernel with non stock rom. Siyah works only with stock based ROMs. Were you in Stock rom and kernel when your phone acted strangely?

at moment i jus managed to get wanam lite on it and it boots up and acts fine when on but sometimes phones turns off when screens off i have to do a battery pull and power back on it boots back up. when the phones on everything works fine which is why i dont think its hardware related
still dont understand why it wont boot up properly even with full clean odin flash, i tried using oding and nand erase all but odin just froze on erase and didnt go further so not sure what prob is
I don't know bud. Even when your phone was never flashed it acted strange. Since it works now, u may try wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, system, battery stats and Flash new rom via cwm recovery. And make sure u flash compatible kernel too.

this is soooo wierd . i tried to flash kernel on the rom but went back to square 1. so flashed with odin and flashed siyah kernel and added second rom. phone rebooted ok but stuck in bootloops so this time i decided to do a full wipe and install wanam lite without updating kernel and modem. This has worked and now phone is fully working tested it for 12 hours no random reboots phone boots up normally ok.
So why doesnt it work if its flashed with stock from odin. iv have had many android phones so kinda know what am doin but the issue with this S2 is baffling. not gna flash this now as at moment its working perfect

LOL this just gets worse now my mobile network disconnects completly and comes back up so wierd and annyoing time to throw the samsung crap away and go for nexus
I was using my phone and all had been working fine for ages. It was in my pocket for a while and when i took it out to use it I saw that it was on the boot animation of CM11. My phone was already on when I last used it so I had assumed it had crashed. I took the battery out and turned the phone on again but it got stuck on the CM boot animation. The last time I turned on my phone before that was when I flashed a supersu zip file to make my root work as I was having some problems. After flashing the supersu zip and told my CWM recovery to restart the system, it prompted me to "fix root" or something like that, and I clicked yes and it booted normally. That was the last time it booted normally before being stuck as it is now. First thing I did after it got stuck was go into recovery and reflash my current rom ( a CM11 snapshot) I then got faced with a status 7 error and so couldnt flash the rom. So then I flashed multiple other CM11 roms, none of which worked, so I flashed a CM10.2 stable rom which worked. I then got faced with the fix root before reboot thing and so I clicked yes. Still had the stuck booting thingy. I tried many things, flashing kernals roms gapps etc and nothing made a difference. I wiped cache, dalvik cache and no difference. I even wiped the system and tried to flash roms but only the 10.2 one would work, still got a status 7 with the CM11 ones. When I wiped my data however and flashed CM 10.2, it booted. I still couldn't flash the CM11 roms though even after a factory reset. So I have the reason to believe something in the data is wrong, not cache system or anything like that. What could it be? I don't want to have to lose all my data in order to be able to use my phone again, even then, something is still wrong as my phone won't flash CM11 roms anymore. So my questions are;
What things could have caused this?
Can this be a problem from flashing the supersu zip (a root issue)
Is it possible to somehow view or copy the internal data on a computer (since I cant get into the operating system), and this would allow me to get all my pictures contacts music etc anything so I can use my phone by wiping data?
Thanks, sorry this is quite long and probably hard to understand whats going on, but help is appriciated thanks
Don't fix root if you wish to use SuperSU instead builded-in cm superuser. Also try to flash via Odin latest recovery. TWRP should be fine. You can mount partitions from recovery level to download data to your computer. Of course if it still exists. If not, if they are corrupted you need to flash stock ROM and repeat whole cm11 adventure again. If Odin successfully flash the stock then it's a chance your partition layout and user data are untouched.
