Hi there,
Can you please help me, I am a NOOB and I been looking and trying to fix my phone for a week and I cant work it out, therefore I come here seeking your help, I would very much value ideas or solutions you could provide.
I will be as brief as possible.
When I try to flash a new Rom, my phone gets stuck on the boot screen, there are only two roms that load, one freezes, the others roms wont boot.
All started like this:
I originally had RR JB V3.1.3 AOKP 4.2.1 I9100
Then changed to
AllianceROM_I9100_XWLSS_V8, look good but thought of trying the aokp i9100 jb-mr1 milestone-1, when trying to swap I made the mistake of doing a factory reset to find out that I could not access the roms on my sdcard.
so I then installed (I9100_CODE_I9100XXLP2_CL57619_REV02_user_low_ship.tar) it all worked as it went to stock. I rooted the phone again, tried installing the AllianceRom, but it didnt want to load, tried the Aokp again it did work, but then once the screen turns off it wont respond...
tried super nexus, did not want to work. tried updating CMW, it doesnt want to... Tried Jellybam, did not load...
So I tried and reloaded RR JB V 3.1.3 as I already have and it works, it is the only rom that works successfully, But if I try to go on to CMW, it doesnt work anymore, and it seems that once I try to use CMW it makes the rom unstable... So it seems that I can only use one Rom at the moment. Clearly I must of done something wrong at some point but I dont know what. I dont even know what to search for to fix it.
I tried different tools to see if they would help and no luck, such as, GS2ROMNuke, Romreset and Romwipe, Darkside cache and superwipe.
I hope someone can help me out in working out what I did wrong or what is happening.
Thank you so much for your time and help.
Bump, Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for letting me know... Will keep that in mind next time.
Try kernel nuke then flash another kernel say siyah as its got cwm. Should be good then mate. Then install alliance rom. Also when you installed and booted for first time on these roms did you try wipe cache and dalv cache fix Permission ??

Thanks for the tip... I did try however I dont have access to cwm anymore once I install RR.
The only way I can get CWM to work again, is installing speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21- through Odin but then the rom doesnt work anymore.
I tried the kernel nuke, I have tried installing siyah kernel with RR, but no luck it doesnt go into cmw. keep getting a message Kernel Panic...
anymore suggestions?
Could I have done something on the mounts? I dont know, but I cant think of what is going on.
Could it be that my phone has emmc brick?
I came across two apps
Got Brickbug?
Verdict
Danger! This eMMC chip is known to have the brick bug!
and
eMMC check
Brick Bug?
Yes. Insane chip....
Could someone please give me an indication what this means for me? Thanks
Yes, it's sticked in the general forum.

One final question, why is it that the RR Rom is the only one to work rather well? (CMW does not work once the rom is intalled)
Thanks heaps!

Yes, but you don't need to worry (as long as you're not on 4.0.4), and that's that.

Sometimes it is necessary to flash it twice, meaning without reboot... Just stay in recovery and repeat the procedure (second time without /system wipe)

You're 100% sure it's the GT-I9100/GT-I9100T? If it's anything other, that could explain it?
If you checked that you really have the right phone, install CM7 like always and right after it before you reboot the device, install siyahkernel. After it I guess it should work fine.

This, but if you're coming from stock, flash CyanogenMod twice (right after you install in CWM, repeat those same steps of wiping and flashing again).

I am a bout to make a noob question: Isn't the siyah kernel for sammy roms? It's just that I come from the galaxy s and there we had diferent kernels for CM7 and sammybased roms. But in the gs2 case some kernels work on both?

Hi all,
Firstly thanks to all the devs and senior members who ported CM10 mini, and also helped me with all the questions i had. I didnt necessarily have to ask these questions , coz the related threads worked like an FAQ and troubleshooting guide for me.
But now im stuck at a point where i need to ask. After trying CMX mini, though i loved it, i feel i prefer a speedy snappy phone rather than a fully loaded ergo slow phone. So i decided to roll back to GingerDX rom.
The issue im facing is that since ive flashed nAa's JB kernel, i wanna re-flash the nAa GB kernel ( or zombie panic etc). Once i flash any of the older GB kernels ( ive tried a few) the phone gets stuck at the boot screen. I just cannot go into recovery to do a wipe and flash the GingerDX rom.
So my questions are:
Is there any known work around.?
Do i need to roll back to a gb kernel to run Ginger DX or can i stay on JB kernel. Im guessing it shud be GB kernel for a GB rom, but cant find any literature online.
Do i need to do a data wipe before i switch kernels?
Pls help.
Thaks in advance.

yes, do data-wipes, or maybe format the partitions before you flash the gb kernel. GB roms won't work on the JB kernel.

Do a nandroid of your ROM, it will have you working again in about 2 minutes if it doesn't work.

pop the JB kernel back on, I figured that was the obvious thing to do in order to wipe and/or format everything...

Omega questions in the Omega thread do not post multiple times the same question .
A guess is that it was a bad flash wipe phone re download rom or use V40 and flash again .

Well your phone is i9100g... You sure you flashed ROM of i9100g and not of galaxy s2 i9100...coz many people make that mistake..
Post this in the i9100g...idk how much we can help you with this..
Anyways, try factory resetting the phone...if no luck take it to Samsung customer care...it can be a hardware problem. ..
And ya, which ROM are you flashing? The official stock ROM or custom ROM?
Custom ROM do have many bugs and vary from phone to phone. .. Try going to stick for one and check if problem is still there. .
Press thanx if I helped...

cannot post on i9100g dev becoz my post still under 10...
im sure i flash the right rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679636
ya..done factory reset but still got the problem...
like i said before..the touchscreen work fine if i plugin charger or connect usb to pc/laptop...
i dont think it becoz hardware problem since it work perfect on stock GB, stock ICS, aokp, CM and 4-5 other custom ROM...
can it becoz of battery? i use 1650mah...i have try 1500mah and touch screen getting more worst...
i still cant find any solution for my phone..
already try many method like
- using re-partion on odin with pit file
- format data, system, cache, emmc
- wipe data/factory reset/dalvic cache
- flash using odin/cwm
- root/unroot
after done all above..touch screen laggy and still make dash line on drawing...
after my last post...i have try most rom on Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development Section and my touchscreen on all rom are working perfect except official stock JB or custom rom base on stock JB...
forgot to mention that the day on my 1st time installing stock JB i accidently flash Galaxy tab 2 p3100 firmware and got softbrick
but successfuly unbrick then done flashing stock JB...dunno if this incident can damage my phone...
or is other way to make FULL FORMAT internal SD? to make sure the file that i accidently flash completely remove...

you could try Blazing Kernel, it can be flashed via stock recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113545.
Or you could also flash original GB and upgrade to JB either through OTA or KIES.

We have the same problem dude, touch screen not working properly after stock jb (xef) flash but working flawlessly when phone is plugged. I can't have a custom rom above 4.2.1, else I have the problem. Now I'm on CM10.1 4.2.1 and can't leave it because of this, the official rom I want is the official.
Did you got the screen of your phone replaced ? Because mine was and I was wondering if it was that.

But are you using CM10.1 4.2.1 without touch screen problems? Can you tell me the date of the release so I can try to flash my phone with that ROM?

Hi Guys
I just change my kernel from siyah to dorimanx kernel, and then I installed cyanogenmod 10.1 in the 2nd rom.
I made a mistake to install gapps for cm 10.1 in my stock rom (1st rom). After that whenever I want to boot to my 1st rom it just stucks.
I've tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache in my 1st rom but it still stucks at the Dorimanx start up.
My Phone is Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100
Kernel : Dorimanx v7.47
2nd Rom : cm-10.1-20130221-NIGHTLY-i9100
Please help me solve this problem. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Flash your first rom again.
Rule number 1:
If you dont know what to do, wipe everything and start from scratch.
