How do I do that exactly ?
Edit: Nevermind found it. Yes I can go into the Recovery mode / Download mode.

If you want to wipe all Data and Factory reset it, just click "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in recovery. If you want to install a new OS or a Custom ROM, just google your device to see if there are any ROMS available for your device. If there is, you can flash it and change the OS.

And safe mode? Where? On the computer? You will not be able to flash a rom on Windows safe mode.
Cause windows safe mode launchs the os without drives.

[Help]Galaxy S2

Hey guys, I'm really desperate and I think I just screwd my S2; so a little help would be really really nice !
I have a S2 which was previously on a "Resurrection-remix_ics" Version 2.4.1! I updated the version to Resurrection remix 3.0.2 but I forgot to "factory reset" the phone before going to recovery mode and updating the version...
Now the phone won't load, It gets stuck on the loading screen...
If you have any Idea what I could do to fix it, please notify me! Is it possible to put the previous version in the SD card, and just downgrade the version...?

Yes, I still can do that!
Btw, before flashing the rom, I did DO the following in the recovery mode:
wipe data/ factory reset
-- wipe cahe partition
-- advanced > wipe dalvik cache
If u can enter the recovery just flash the older version

I can't do a factory reset dude... I get stuck at the loading screen, as I mentioned before !
Is there a way to do a factory reset in Recovery Mode?
i guess that wipe data/factory reset is listed in recovery mode,or am i mistaken ?
and u say u can get into recovery so just choose wipe data/factory reset and it's over then flash ur older version

Guys please help - ROM flashing issues

Weird problem with my phone chaps, can you please help?
I can flash CM9 & CM10 with no issues. I can flash it via restore (CWM) or through a wipe.
I can flash CheckROM V4 Via ODIN with no issues, but I am unable to flash anything I download through the kitchen. I get a bootloop or it gets stuck at the Boot up Samsung logo.
Similarly, I am unable to flash any other ROM apart from CM9/CM10 via recovery. It gets stuck at the boot logo. I've wiped all the caches, and even tried to flash checkrom via Odin to see if this resolves the issues, but unfortunately not.
Is this a case of flashing an original Samsung ROM, then re-rooting and starting over?
I will be grateful if anyone can offer some assistance!
Are you doing a full wipe factory reset in recovery before flashing a ROM? you mentioned you wiped cache thats it

Maybe Megawipe or Superwipe script can help. You can try it if you haven't gone with flashing original firmware.

[Q] Motorola Atrix 4G Stuck on Main UNLOCKED Screen

Hi guys, I'm a new user here. I've tried to install a new cyanogen rom on my ATRIX and for some reason got stuck on the main Unlocked screen where it keeps looping over and over and it doesn't go anywhere. I've tried to enter the ANDROID RECOVERY mode in order to swap and reset it, but it doesn't allow me to. Can anyone help me, please? I don't really know what to do. I hope I can find some clues here, it is my only chance.
