Hey guys i'm really nervous here so I need some help! I just tried installing CM10 on my phone I had rooted ahead of time using the zergrush method so I downloaded cm10 and put it on my SD Card. But once I launched now my phone is stuck at a boot loop. And I can't get to the recovery mode to reset it for some reason all it does is repowers the phone when I try it and launches the CM10 icon again.

Try to get into the downloadmode by pressing volume up + down + power button and follow here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659) number 2.
I could be wrong of course, but it sounds like you forgot to factory reset / wipe cache.
Did you follow these steps?
1. Root
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Factory reset/wipe cache
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Google Apps
6. Reboot
If you didn't follow those steps, it's not a big deal. Try to reboot into recovery by pressing Vol Up + Vol Down + Power like love4k21 said, and just follow the steps from number 3.

I must have forgot to reset and wipe. The problem is I can't go into recovery the phone just constantly reboots itself and hangs at the CM10 circle. Now I have no idea what to do.

Hi
I just flashed my GS2 for the 2nd time via Odin and everything went fine, no errors or something like that.. The problem is that now i'm stuck on a boot loop.
The phone keeps restarting at the first boot animation and i can't do anything..
I've tried to reflash with other roms, stock rom's, stock kernel but nothing works..
Can i have some help please? :/
Thank you
EDIT: Just noticed that this is not the right section for posting this sort of things.. Can i have it moved to the right section please? Thanks
EDIT2: Forgot to mention that this started to happen since i did an hard reset using the *2767*3855# method.
Turn off the phone -> Hold volume up + power + home -> in recovery wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
That worked for me when I was locked in a bootloop the other day at least, can't say if it'll work for you though :/

This worked for me.. Many thanks!
Im still getting this!
I can flash a rom and it reboots, so I boot upinto recovery and wipe data and cache and its still mucing up
please im going insane
I fought with this BIG time.... it did not matter what I flashed or reset, I was constantly stuck in a boot loop.... but then Chainfire said this, took me a couple of tries but it worked.... I did not full understand the gist of it, but the end result is my phone is up and running....
remember, once you flash the stock rom, you have to do the recovery reset (should be blue instead of orange).
I will post the link in a second, I have to find it, lol
"Villains ROM doesn't include kernel AFAIK (yet!). Again, don't fear. This is a Samsung device, unless you botched up flashing a bootloader, you aren't going to break it. It is epically difficult to break Samsungs by accident.
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 for some stock firmwares. Do a full wipe after flashing (from recovery). I advise the XEU KE7 variant."
Possible fix
Hi,
I had a similar problem and following exactly Intratech's post #108 from the following thread solved my issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278&page=11
The three file install went OK and then I was able to install the latest "one file" tars as usual.
Intratech's #108:
I assume you know how to use Odin. Download the firmware from this link and extract everything to one folder: http://hotfile.com/dl/116656855/2ccf2f4/I9100XWKDF.rar.html
The password for the file is: samfirmware.com
Start Odin and put these in the following
PDA: CODE_I9100XWKDF_CL170898_REV02_user_low_ship.tar
CSC: GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXXKDD.tar
Modem: MODEM_I9100XXKDJ_REV_02_CL996627.tar
Forget the rest of the files. DO NOT SELECT A PIT FILE AND DO NOT TICK REPARITION.
Put your phone into download mode and connect the usb cable. When the Odin box turns yellow press flash and wait until phone reboots. The first boot will take a while... be patient.
It's 2:58am here so I'm off to bed. I don't know how to make this simpler for you.

Basically, I installed YogenTouch 1.5 after been riding the nightly cyanogen wave and having the phone crash during idle time. I wanted to try something new. Problem is that I can't install anything else with Clockwork and my question is simple:
How can I return the phone to its most basic state, with a gingerbread rom and a clean slate?
I tried flashing other mods, windows 7 is now telling me it should repair the usb whenever I connect it to the computer, I'd love to format and start the rooting process all over again, but I'm afraid I'll brick it.
Thanks!
If you install a rom like blayo, do you wipe your phone before you install?

i don't, i keep all my apps and everything, no cleaning of data or cache or dalvik.

Normaly if you change roms you have to wipe everything to have that fresh feel of the new rom
Try backing up your apps; I recommend titanium backup free, to be sure also backup true cwm, then wipe everything and then install a new rom
That should fix your problem

that's the problem, flashing won't work.. i get stuck in the clockwork mod recovery thing with the triangle and the upside down ! sign
looks like you need fake flash
Dude, if you had rommanager installed. The cwm recovery should be installed properly. But just in case you faild to get in to cwm recovery. Than at the red triangle with ! Sign. Press vol + and the power button. Than use the update.zip to access cwm. Rommanager will copy it's cwm as update.zip to your sd card when you installed it.

if you have that screen press volume + and then the power button and keep the volume + pressed while pressing the power button
then select flash update.zip and confirm with power

Give us more details on what you have done exactly before you flash the rom.
And details about which rom.
One solution would be to flash stock.
Go in download mode with 3 buttons combo(volume down-power and home button) open odin,put as pda the stock rom as a tar and hit start.
Note: Be sure kies tray agent is not running in the background you have to kill the process with task manager
I also have this issue, after using a CM9 rom then rolling back to stock rom I have downloaded the stock rom, not sure if its 100 match for my phone but its stuck at samsung logo its 1 day old, please help?
Thanks
get into download mode and try flash again.
Right, I can go back to custom rom, but stock rom wont boot, any suggestions?
please try to elaborate the exact steps that you have done to get to that situation.
if you are now flashing back to stock rom. try this, flash stock firmware using odin, once done dont reboot. straigth boot into recovery mode, and wipe data factory reset. then boot.
ive got the same problem. i installed cyanogenmod 10 on and it worked fine but couldnt get to wipe the internal sd card so still had stuff from past roms on. I thought if i flash back to stock then it would clear it all then i could reflash back to cyanogen 10.
i flashed the stock in odin and it wont go past the samsung logo. cant get into the recovery mode to wipe cache as it just resets back to boot screen and cant use the samsung toolkit as i cant get into usb debugging mode as cant get it to boot
any help really appreciated

I had this issue before. Phone is stuck at samsung logo. I reflashed stock lfb firmware and cf root. Cleared data/cache/dalvik. Then it worked fine.
If every recovery method fails then only resort is to visit service center, go there and act dumb and state phone went crazy and this happened out of no where.If they wont find out that you've f***ked it up then you will get mo-board replacement.
Flash stock LFB from samfirmware.com through Odin.
Then flash Siyahkernel (also through Odin)
Pull the battery for 5 minutes
Press and hold vol-up + home buton
Press power button until screen lights up
You should be in cwm now. Factoryreset your phone and it should startup again
If you don't want to loose your data, instead of factory reset you can try using adb shell and run e2fsck on the block device for /data
Corrupt ext-Partitions are usually the reason for a softbrick

I encountered the same problem. I almost fainted when I can't solve the problem. Finally I did. this is what I did:
1. download the Stock Rom (depends which country and carrier you are) Unzip the downloaded file and you should have .md5 file that you will later use.
2. download ODIN
3. Launch ODIN click on "PDA button" select the .md5 that you extracted (the file you downloaded and unzipped) and click start and wait until it finished (hopefully this will solve your problem but in my case ... the samsung logo still is stucked so continue with my next steps)
4. download the CF Root from
note: this will install the CWM or recovery mode for your phone that will give you several options ...
5. use ODIN again and click PDA button and select the CF Root that you have downloaded and click on start until it finished.
6. boot to Recovery mode by holding "volume up (yes volume up and not volume down)" and "power" and "home button" all at the same time until recovery mode reappears.
7. go to advanced and remove dalvik cache, do a wipe out or factory reset, wait for your phone to restart ... wait a minute or two and your phone is back to normal.

Hey, guys. I didn't know who to ask so i decided to post the question here.
I recently rooted my HTC Evo 3D GSM and it worked fine without any problems. After that, i downloaded a Rom. Worked fine, but it was missing wi-fi. I decided to download another rom from here, used the same steps as with the previous one, but it wont let me get out of recovery mod. Whenever i press the Power Button it shows me the logo of Clockwork mod and i just don't know what to do, i'm pretty new to this stuff.
I tried to reboot and start the device again normally, but i remembered that all the data and cache was wiped. I would like to hear some advice from you guys who have experienced this or know what to do. If there are some further details that you need tell me.
See you soon!

Pull out the battery, then put it back. Press and hold Volume Down button and while holding press and hold PowerButton. You will enter "Bootloader" mode. Wait for checking. After that, navigate with VolumeUp and VolumeDown to "Recovery" and then press PowerButton once. Wait and you will enter "ClockWorkMod" Recovery. Then, WIPE EVERYTHING (system/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache). Then go "Install from SD Card", install ROM from SD Card (one you downloaded). After that - Reboot..
I hope it will help.
are you s-on?if so you'll have to manually flash the boot.img file of the new rom through fastboot
