Alright i have been trying and trying to get my phone to have the di05modem and be running the Dl30 froyo. I do not know what i am doing wrong nothing seems to be working and i have had to us odin restore files 3 times now. so here i am again
Phone curnnet setup STOCK
Model number
SCH-I500
Firmware version
2.1-update1
Baseband version
S:i500.04 V.DI01
Kernel version
2.6.29
Build number
SCH-I500.DI01
Problem one i am having is getting CWM installed. i try it through odin and it works one time then not the next, giving me the error of E: signature failed oh file i used was clockworkmod ALL.zip
Once i do it it to work i have use odin to then install DJ05modem.tar. It says everything went fine, i let it boot and it works, the modem then says v.dj05
So then i try to install the stock dj05 rom/system, file DJ05_stock.zip through CWM it says it works and all is good. But i then try to boot and it makes it to the samsung logo and then just keeps resting itself
THen i jsut reset everything back to stock using the odin recovery files and im back to square one as i bought the phone.
Yes i am rooted that works everytime without a hitch. so what am i donig wroung
Im a little confused.
you say that ODIN works one time then does not work? You should only have to flash clockwork once.
It sounds like you are having a kernel problem. I am no dev but your description of the logo sounds a lot like what happened when I installed a voodoo kernel over a non voodoo ROM. I also do not see you mention the install of a kernel of any kind, you might search and see if there is a specific kernel needed for your rom. Much like the Super Clean roms have their own kernels that they work with.
Hopefully that can get you squared away in the right direction!
Hello, sorry if this has already been answered but I did look around at similar scenarios and it seems to me that using odin to flash the stock kernel should fix it but on my device, however, it doesn't fix my problem. I beleive what I did was select update firmware from .zip in clockwork on accident. Idk if this is what you consider a "boot loop" because it doesnt restart it just sits there at the black galaxy s2 screen. Any insight would be great. I hate to have to buy a new one as it is quite alot of money. Like I said, sorry if this is already answered but after looking around for hours I still hve had no luck. Thanks in advance, Alex
Can you get into recovery (volume up+home+power) or download mode (volume down+home+power)?
I can get in to download and recovery mode both
The outlook is promising then. Without knowing what you've flashed, it's impossible to say what damage you've done, but if you don't mind losing your data, you can certainly get back to a working state by following [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!.
Before going down that route though, if you do want to keep your data, let us know what you flashed as it might be recoverable (maybe you just flashed the wrong kernel).
I can't say for sure what i flashed but I can say that i either flashed with an update or updated with a kernel??? sound right??? idk. the data isnt near as important to me as the 680 dollars my carrier will charge me for a new s2. Right now im using a junk alcatel tribe and im going through galaxy withdrawls.
Well before flashing anything else, make sure you definitely have an I9100, not some other variant (I notice you mentioned dollars). If you have a different model, you're in the wrong forums and might make things worse by following advice for the I9100.
I was pretty sure that it is the I9100 but i took the battery out and double checked. it IS the I9100
also for what it's worth when going into recovery(stock version) right after the text reading updating application it gives me an error in red. (E:install_application_for_customer:Can't unmount /preload copy application failed) and after the (Appling [yes it really spells it appling] Multi-CSC) it says Can't access to '/system/csc/TTT/system/'. However, the line after it says that it says Successfully applied multi-CSC
My first attempt to get back to a working phone without losing data would be to flash a stock kernel then, have you tried that?
Ok.. done.. but it still sits at the galaxy screen except now it has the triange due to the custom firmware
If that hasn't got you up and running then it's probably time to bite the bullet and follow the instructions from the boot loop thread linked above (which will also remove the triangle).
Maybe you can answer another question for me. When in recovery mode it says apply update from sdcard... why does it say that when it doesnt actually read from the sdcard? i have checked with the sdcard both in and out and the file directory in the recovery mode doesnt change. is it calling the usb storage an sd card?
ok when flashing a stock rom do i use the phone option in odin or the pda still
If you're flashing a stock rom from [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2 Download, then just follow the instructions from there (but usually PDA).
:'( Still wont boot.
What does happen, did any steps fail, any error messages?
Everything went smooth with no errors. No steps failed. Sitting at the boot screen is all it does though
Did you definitely wipe user data? (step 3). The final step of that thread is to try flashing a ROM which wipes, such as (non-stock) VillainROM 1.1.
well... yes i definitely wiped the user data and it was successfull when doing so. I didnt try the villian rom just because I thought that it was an optional thing but i will def. try it now that you bring it up. and hey, i really appreciate the help no matter what the outcome
(VillainROM 1.1 - XWKE7 base) I'm a UHKG7..... is this going to be a problem? just something i noticed and thought I would ask before going ahead
Hey so, im getting really mad at my phone atm. Ive been trying to add a room to the phone after i rooted it using Odin.
version 2.3.5, the phone IS rooted, i can use clock work mod, change files with root explorer. etc
Here is my problem, when i try to backup my phone using ClockWorkMod Recovery, i get ''failed to verify whole-file signature'' Ive been googling my problem now and read ****loads of posts about it.. I also get this error trying to room Cyanogen
I got Android Recovery e3 or something, i tryed to add a edited version with Root explorer, didnt work.
Im trying to add galaxys2 / nightly by Cyanogen version 7.1..
So what can i do to remove this ''failed to verify whole-file signature''
Downgrade to e2? And how do i do it..? if thats the case
Im a complete noob, i had the phone for like 1 week, and i really want a custom room...
You're using stock recovery, not CWM recovery.
So e3 is stock recovery? How can i then get CWM recovery? I download it, flashed etc, but i still got the same e3 when i reboot my phone
flash a custom kernel with cwm integrated (eg spedmod/hardcores/cf root)
So uhm, im checking this link out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
And i should download one of the files, i got no clue what files i should download. And should i just add the pdf file into Odin?
Because when i followed this guide on Youtube, i only needed to download a pdf file and click start.. Thats prob my problem? I should have uploaded a bootloader aswell? (assuming bootloader = bios/android recovery)
Can u guys help me picking the file on that site, i have no clue what to download -.-

We could tell you how to do it, but it's best to understand what you're doing. Everything you need to know is in the link above.
Please read the sticky guide to rooting it will have link to chainfire thread follow instructions.. its far more simple than reads.
At the moment you still have stock kernel and no recovery due to this.

You will likely run into issues if you try to flash CM7 from a CF-Root kernel from what *I've heard*.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411
What I'd do:
-run CF Root for a while; get to know the phone and what it can/can't do,
-back up your efs folder before you start flashing ROMs or other kernels,
-when you decide it's time for CM7 flash a Siyah kernel via CWM recovery,
-then flash CM7 paying particular attention to the instructions in the link.
So i think i got it now, or. Cyanogen mod 7 loops in the startup -.-..
What i did before is that i used odin, i should have just restarted my phone there.
Not going into Clockwork thingy and flash it, when i did that the phone just went back to e3.. Now i restarted the phone and got more options (cwm.based recovery v5.0.2.7)
1 Update
Trying to sort this out -.- I prob just went full retarded with my phone.. I had Cyanogen version 7.1 on my sd card, tryed to update it. And didnt work, just loooppping..
Can someone plz help me, i got so many dumb problems from just rooting my phone...
2 Update
Now its just stuck on the startup screen, ive been messing around and stuff in the cwm. How can i undo this, atm i just want my phone back to normal. And work from scratch -.- And how come i couldnt update the Cyanogen from sdcard........ --.--

Im such a noob, how do i clean the phone?
Im really sorry for wasting your time with my noobness, i though when i finally got cwm recovery thingy to work i could finally install my cyanogen mod... But then something failed, i booted the phone, and it got stuck on the screen. Now only samsung galaxy s2 thingy shows. And nothing else happends.... Geeeeeeeeeez i shouldnt have messed around without knowing what to do, and i would have saved u guys some time...
update, The triangle is gone and everything. Im back to e3 but my phone just wont boot... I dont get it... sigh
update 2, Can u help me finding my stock kernel ? Maybe im just ****ing up with something there?
Did you read the install instructions from the CM7 nightlies thread I linked you to?
Did you try to flash to CM7 from a CF Root kernel? (many/most aren't successful flashing CM7 from a CF Root kernel)
Did you flash it twice? (must flash it twice upon first install)
Your best bet now is to follow the directions that JJEgan linked you to to at least get your phone up and running again on stock firmware. Take it one step at a time and save any more modding for another day.
Ninja Edit: you got a free "thanks" from me by accident. Paypal me $5 and we'll call it even.
I dont get it, why wont it load when i loaded in my stock kernel... After i wiped and everything using e3.. Man this is sooooooo annoying...
And mudferret i would if i had my card here. trust me i would pay $1000 if i got this **** to work, this is frustrating
sucks to be a noob
Im prob spamming something on this site with my edits and posts.
My kernels have been on 40 mb, because i picked the Stock Kernel, now i picked 'Nordic' Lets see if this works. This file is on 272 mb

Got it working now!!!
Think im gonna put my superskills away for a while untill i read up and understand how this works! Thanks alot for helping me out <3
Glad you're sorted out. Take your time, no rush to mod. Good luck.

Hello all,
I have tried many things before asking for help, but nothing worked so far.
Here is the story:
I was on ICS 4.0.4, with default ROM coming from carrier.
I wanted to install CM9.1,
spent countless hours doing all backup and reading tutorial.
Tried finally yesterday and it was stuck doing "wiping data". Left it for 20min+ and nothing.
After restarting it, it is now stuck on the boot logo.
I couldn't enter anymore CWM or stock recovery (up+home+power), but could enter Download mode.
So I tried a couple of things I have read on the forum, like installing Siyah-s2-v5.0.1.tar through Odin 3.04 but I still cannot enter recovery mode.
I've read (too late) about the mmc brick bug (couldn't find anyone speaking about it in any tutorial until I reached this point... nothing on CM wiki or in other tuto... classic!).
I hope I'm not in this case though as I can still go to DL mode, and the phones having the brick bug are completely dead (blank screen or no DL mode), as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
I managed to finally get CWM working only by using GT-I9100_ICS_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar from Odin, then tried to install CM9.1 from SD card but after reboot it is stuck on the blue cyanogenmod animation boot screen and nothing happens.
Tried also to restore from CWM my nandroid backup, but during the restore it seems to hang then restart by itself, and then I'm back to Galaxy S boot logo (the animated one with the big S).
And after this I have lost again access to recovery mode.
I can't go back to stock and I can't install CM... I was not expecting such issues, it all seemed pretty basic on paper.
I'm really stressed and don't know what to do
Flash a stock rom in Odin (download mode), re-root your phone/flash a kernel with CWM, restore your backup ?
Hi,
thanks for answering,
I have tried to locate such a rom, but I'm not sure which one... is there a specific one to try ? could you point me to it please ?
so far I have tried I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5
but no luck
you also say "re-root", at the time I used this method:
[GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel - xda-developers

Do I need root to install Siyah kernel from Odin ?
I'm trying one from sammobile... let's hope :/
The bad thing is I had no Yellow triangle at the beginning since I'm stuck in this boot loop or no boot to be precise.
Now that I have tried different things to fix it, it is still not working and I have my flash counter = 10.
I cannot even go back to the shop, is there a way to reset it knowing I cannot even reach the OS, I have only DL mode or CWM...
Use a stock rom for your region/carrier (or any stock rom from any region really), it doesn't really matter as I presume you'll be restoring a backup and/or going back to a custom rom anyway won't you ?
Samfirmware & AndroidFirmwares.net have lots of stock roms.
No, you don't need root to flash an Odin version of Siyah. So yes, you can flash that after you've got stock up & running to root your phone rather than re-rooting your phone by flashing a CFRoot kernel or using another root method. Just make sure the version of Siyah you're going to flash matches up with the stock rom you've got on (I.E if you flash a GB stock rom use GB Siyah, ICS stock = use ICS Siyah, etc, etc).
thank you again, I'm downloading the rom from sammobile matching my carrier,
Would you be so kind to send me a PM with your skype username or anything to "chat" with you ? I'm really worried and I spent all night already trying to fix it with no progress at all
Don't worry about the flash counter. That's the least of your problems while your phone is borked Worry about it when it's fixed. There's nothing you can do about the triangle while your phone is cactus.
When you've got it up & running again, use Triangle Away.
But first things first.

You're welcome.
Um, no. Absolutely not. Nothing personal, but if I did that for every person who's asked me for 'hands on' help since I've been here, I'd have spent my time doing nothing else. I don't do 'personal' with people from XDA (which is why I have PM's blocked except for mods).
Besides, you're going to learn much more fixing this yourself. I've given you a stack of information thus far, ball is in your court. Every answer to every question you could possibly ask is on this site. It just sometimes takes a bit of work/reading on your part to find it.

ok I understand.. it is just I have literally spent more than 8 hours on it and had not make any progress at all (even worse I cannot return it to the shop because of the yellow triangle).
I appreciate your help, it gives me a bit of hope but I'm in a very bad situation and I feel I have read and do so much already with no success at all.
I will try your option of restoring the one from Sammobile, I have tried other before without any luck, maybe this one will do... (5min left to DL it).
thanks again for your support
I know where you're coming from. The first flash I tried when I got my phone in 2011 borked because I was careless, and it took me a bit over a day to get the right info/files/etc to get it fixed. I know it's frustrating/tiring/annoying & you're wondering at the start whether you can even fix it. But as long as you've got download mode 99 times out of 100 you can save it.
And as I said, it's good experience; once you've fixed it, you'll be able to handle anything that comes up in future
Let us know how you go. I'm going to bed shortly, but I'm sure someone else will step up & help if you have any further problems.
You're welcome Happy to point you in the right direction.
I have flashed the rom, the exact same one as I had before everything happened...
if it helps, I flashed it from Odin 3.04 as PDA.
I9100BVLPH_I9100TMULPH_I9100BVLPE_HOME.tar.md5
I'm now back to the Samsung GALAXY S2 GT-I9100 logo and nothing happens.
I cannot use recovery mode,
I can use DL mode (it shows 11 counts and current binary as Samsung official.)
update:
I left the phone on the first logo for about 5min and it moved to the next Samsung Galaxy S2 logo, with the big animated S.
I'm waiting but nothing else is happening.
I'm still desperate to fix it.
One thing which can be relevant, whenever I try to wipe or format /data from CWM, my phone is restarting after a few minutes or is saying it cannot be done.
I can format /cache and /system.
Could it be the root cause ? Any way of fixing it ?
Thank you
update: I cannot mount /data from CWM, it says Error mounting /data!
is it the brick bug ? :|
Easy now....your device is still good.
Those animations should take like 1-2 mins when you flash a rom.
Now, you are completly sure that you are actually flashing the right ROM for your device model?
If so, just keep flashing stock roms until you're up and running again, so you can start from scrap.
I tried, the issue is as soon as I flash a stock rom (through Odin), then I can't get into stock recovery mode anymore, I have to flash GT-I9100_ICS_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar to get back the recovery mode.
I tried to flash several times, I think it is down to the fact I cannot mount or format /data.
Which is why I'm wondering if it is the famous brick bug.
My device is GT-I9100 and I took the stock rom from sammobile:
I9100BVLPH_I9100TMULPH_I9100BVLPE_HOME.tar.md5 which is ICS 4.0.4 (that I had before trying to move to CM9.1 and having all this mess in my hands.)
flash this:
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/11/15/i9100xxlsj-%E2%80%93-galaxy-s-ii-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-test-firmware/.
you are on siyah kernel right?
what you wanna do know is to get to whatever rom your flashing, forget about cmw for now.
this also might help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
So it is not lost yet ? Not the brick bug ?
just to be sure:
you want me to install through Odin: Siyah-s2-v5.0.1-CWM.zip
then going back to DL mode
I flash through Odin: I9100XXLSJ_I9100OXXLS1_OXX.zip (coming from your link).
anything I'm missing (even if it seems obvious, please let me know as I'm maybe missing something important)
?
I still cannot do Factory reset... is it a problem ?
I dunno what kernel you are using, If stock 4.0.4 kernel you should flash siyah first (safe kernel, no brick bug), and then countinue flashing the ROM. Check out the brick bug thread in general SII forum for directions if you want.
BTW, Odin recognizes your phone right? Check it out, you'll get a huge long breath.
BTW 2: you don't have any kies applications running in your pc.....am I right? if so, CLOSE THEM ALL!
I did had stock 4.0.4 kernel when I first tried to follow CM9.1 wiki, and I did a factory reset through CWM... which is why I think I might have bricked it...
I have checked the brick bug thread (too late it seems...) but so far I can't be sure if I'm in this case or not as they say they can't even reach DL mode, and I can.
Odin recognizes my phone, yes, but anything I flash is stuck on the animated logo.
I do not have Kies installed, just installed the drivers.
Hey y'all.
So many threads ago I posted up on how to root a SGS2 I900P, which in the end I did no problems. The ONLY problem I encounted where I'd flash a different ROM and wanted to restore back to my factory loaded Orange UK rom, which when I restored it with no problems it just went through the 'boot loop' phase. I read up that this is caused due to a faulty emmc 'bricking bug' and luckily it was only "soft bricked".
Cut the long story short I managed to re-flash the Orange (UK) carrier firmware (after many USB cable changes and port swaps and fails) via Odin and retain my previously installed apps and so on and had to re-root. Is there a method or some sort of fix for the emmc bug issue for future wipes/restores ?
Something new I learnt in all that process too,

To avoid brickbug is by flashing JB 4.1.2. (good alternative!)
But if you really like ICS then i suggest you move back to 4.0.3. There is no avoiding brickbug on 4.0.4.
If you have rooted it, you can check with 'Brickbug check' app on google play, to see if you have sane (or insane) chip (brickbug or not), cause most custom kernels and roms have found a solution to this bug, and use it on their roms/kernels. Which means on those you can safely wipe and restore etc.. (but check brickbug app first on google play)
Yep. Don't wipe a rooted phone running 4.0.4. And if you're really paranoid, don't even wipe a non-rooted phone running 4.0.4 (Entropy mentioned at least one case he knew of where someone borked their phone doing a wipe on a phone running 4.0.4 via stock Android recovery, tho it seems to be very rare).
The TL;DR is don't run rooted stock 4.0.4 if you mess with your phone in any way.
I know that's not a fix, but that's because there isn't one. Some chips aren't susceptible to the bug; there's an app floating around here somewhere/Google Play where you can check which chip you have (seems to be more that are susceptible).
Your 1st paragraph is a load of crap.Bootloop has nothing to do with "brickbug".More like by you not running kernel cleaning script,or not factory resetting before/after flashing a new rom.
As mentioned by others,just dont have 4.0.4 running on your phone.So you are still left with over 100 custom/stock roms to choose from........lol
Was the backup of JB? Or ICS? OP doesn't say. If it was JB, I'd be willing to bet that the bootloop was due to an attempt to restore the stock rom, but without restoring preload.

Im not sure Hopper.I am leaning towards the restore would be "cancelled" due to not being complete,rather than it succeeding leading to bootloop.
But hes not said.
And he cant get "factory" rom with a restore as it didnt come with cwm lol.
Sorry to clear things up.. I updated it to 4.1.2 via Kies many months ago. I used PhilZ method to root, no problem. Few months down the line since then I put LiquidSmooth 2.4 (few days ago) then restored a backup from PhilZ recovery and put 4.1.2 and everything back on no problem. Then restarted the phone and it when into a boot loop of the Orange and Samsung logo.
I'm not stupid as I've rooted my own SGS3 and Samsung Galaxy ACEs etc, Just forgotten to put that info in lol and yes I always use the Factory Reset to install a new rom.
And yes when I managed to get it restored from this so called boot loop (by putting 4.1.2 Orange UK firmeware back on via Odin) the EMMC brick bug is present as i've checked via an app via Google Play. My overall goal is to eliminate this problem or temp fix so I can put different roms on and if I don't like them recovery back to the latest restore without issues.
Are we on the same line now ?
And as we've said, you can't eliminate the problem. You can avoid the problem by not running 4.0.4 stock roms. It's really quite simple, but like a lot of people here you're trying to make it complex when there's no need to.
help me out here please

sorry for the long post but i guess that you might need alll the info you could get for helping me...

Here is my situation.
I had 4.1.2 JB. Installed CM11 M8 and CWM_6.0.4.7(coming previously from Siyah) at the end of July. In the beginning of October my phone just shut down. That happened before on the same and previous rom so I wasn't worried. I turned it on and phone was in bootloop. That was strange because the last time that happened I installed Chainfire. So bootloop without any cause..that was strange. I tried making a backup before flashing the ROM. But I got an error. I can't remember but I can dig it somewhere if you want it. I tried then flashing recovery(bad idea) and Odin again reported an error. When I restarted phone I noticed that my Recovery mode was gone. Just gone and with no solution on how to restore it. I tried numerous methods OMAP drivers, heimdall, .pit file method but nothing. So I brought my sgs2 to the store where I bought it and they concluded that it was bad eMMC chip.
Now, your problem reminds me of mine because Odin wouldn't want to flash anything without an error(well, not exactly anything, I managed to flash some partition using Heimdall but it was not sufficient) but it doesn't have to be.
What version of cwm were you using?
