yesterday i tried to restore a previous system via CWM. At the end of the process when i rebooted the phone, my galaxy s2 i9100g was stucked, showing the logo : "samsung galaxy s 2 GT-I9100G". I tried to reboot again, and the same result, and also i cant seem to be able to get into recovery mode, it just won't work, the same logo appears over and over again
please help me, i don't know what to do.
i see now that i can get into sownloading mode, maybe i can flash a rom from the computer somehow??

does it have to be a stock, or can i flash a custom rom?
Not through odin no.
can you explain more, because i'm kind of new to those things. where can I get a stock, and how do i flash it using odin?
Get firmware from sammoblie. Say lsw firmwear and well here's the thing iv never had to use it so best bet follow the many many guides to use odin. One day I will have to use it but for now I don't no how to

try to get into recovery mode

Hello all,
I've been having a look round on the internet to find a solution to the problem that I'm currently facing with my Galaxy S2,
I recently installed the checkrom OS and darknight firmware, and decided to use clockworkmod to backup the rom and settings, it restarted and then flashed up the start up screen, I.E:
"Samsung
GALAXY S II
GT-I9100"
It wont go any further than this, and if I turn the phone off and on again its stuck on the same screen, it will not go into recovery mode, nor will it go into download mode.
Am I right in thinking that for some unknown reason it failed to reboot into CWM to do a ROM backup and has bricked my phone? In which case will a USB Jigg off of amazon at the very least restore the download mode?
Responses very welcome, as I am a bit buggered without my phone =)
Much thanks
The only way to get past this try and boot into clockwork mod and do a complete wipe and reflash the ROM and don't use any custom kernels use the one that comes with the ROM and that should get ya going and make shure you wipe your dalvik ceche and your battery stats

Anyway, if you can't get into download or recovery mode, yes, it could be worth trying a jig, it can't make it any worse .

Haha thanks, think your probably right, I cant think of any other way to recover the phone if I cant access the Download mode at the very least.
Did you try it through ROM manager
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I recently had an issue quite the same -- on the latest MIUI build, with SiyahKernel, I tried to perform a backup using ROM Manager, and it rebooted the device, and then I couldn't get past the Galaxy S II logo. I couldn't access recovery mode either.
My only solution was to put it into download mode, and restore the stock firmware for the device, then re-root, and re-install everything.
I think you might be confusing recovery mode and download mode though... I understand you might not be able to enter recovery mode (volume UP + home + power), but you definitely should still be able to enter download mode (volume DOWN + home + power) -- if not, you're pretty much going to have to take it to a Samsung Service Center, and play dumb if they ask you about custom ROMs, etc.
But I'm very confident that you should still be able to access download mode, try giving it another shot
Remember, volume down.
If you can get into it, find and download your stock ROM, and flash it through Odin (if you need help with finding it or whatever, just PM me?)
As before, if you can't access download mode, a jig won't do anything for you.

Last week I flashed LD3 for my Galaxy S2 i777. Today I was going to flash CM9. Every time I tried to boot into recovery it just started the phone.
I figured I could use mobile odin to flash a new kernel and it would fix it. Like an idiot I used a Gingerbread kernel on my phone running an ICS rom. So of course my phone froze on the "Galaxy S2" screen.
I couldn't boot into recovery and freaked out because I couldn't boot into dl either. I ordered a jig but kept fiddling in the meantime. I found that if I hook my phone to the USB, wait for the battery charging icon, take the battery out, then hold the down button it would boot into dl mode. Then I had to put the battery back in before I clicked continue or else it just reset.
Ok, so got into DL mode. I grabbed the stock rom and kernel from XDA site and flashed them with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 (can't post links yet).
The phone starts and setup mode begins. It shows the android figure and says click it. Now all kinds of errors pop up telling me different google services weren't working and force close. When you click the android figure it goes to setup wizard screen but nothing happens (except more android service errors).
Can someone help me out here? I've been at it 5 hours and searched this forum high and low. My thought is there are some ICS elements left behind in there it is trying to load, but I could be way off.
I still can't boot into recovery mode, just DL.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the stock rom and kernel?
I did not do a full wipe. How can I go about that without logging into recovery? I'm googling that now but if you have linkage I would appreciate it.

dont need to wipe when using Odin/Heimdall.
To OP:
there is only factory recovery, no CWM, you could always just flash a kernal from the DEV section, get CWM, flash CM9.
If I flash another kernel wouldn't I still have the same problem? I'll go ahead and give it a shot. Any you recommend for any reason or other?

So let me get the straight...you're on unrooted stock right now? If that's true, you should:
1. Do a factory reset from settings.
2. Use Odin to flash the Stock with Root package.
3. Use Mobile Odin to flash either Entropy's DD or Siyah.
4. Use CWM to flash what you want after that.

recovery is in kernal. If you flash a kernal from the DEV section you'll get CWM recovery, then you can flash your CM9 that you wanted, after a wipe data/factory reset.

Yes, but if he flashes said kernel with Odin, it'll trip his flash counter. I'm just telling him the safe way to do it, Mobile Odin.
I've already tripped my counter. I have a jig that will be here tomorrow so I can use it to reset the counter.
I can't use mobile odin because I can't log into my phone. I can only use desktop Odin.
All the files I am digging up look like .zip made for cwm. Could someone help guide me towards a kernel I can flash from desktop?

Either Entropy's DD or Siyah. You can open the zip and extract the zimage; the zimage is the kernel.
I just tried using Syiah:

I still get this message:
"The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. please try again"
I can't get past the setup screen.
And I still can't access recovery.

Flash the return to stock package from Odin again. Something must have gone wrong with it the first time.
well thats wierd. Sorry man but are you doing it right?
vol down and power. hold it untill the screen flashes twice.
I flashed stock 3 times now. I couldn't get into recovery before this (manually or with rom manager) and still can't. It starts like its going into recovery then just resets and loads normally.
Down is for dl mode, up is recovery.
I think the lack of ability to boot into recovery and the android service errors may be related.

Forget recovery. You shouldn't be worrying about recovery until after you get your phone booting.
New thought: maybe your download of the stock package is corrupted. Try to download it on your computer again. Download the one with root. If that fixes it, you can go use Mobile Odin to flash the Siyah kernel.
To get into recovery hold down both volume up, volume down, and power button and don't let go until recovery comes up.

I have been using the rooted. The fully stock won't dl. This started because I flashed a gb kernel instead of ics. Maybe I should try flashing an ics kernel instead of stock gb?
I have recently tried to put on a custom rom, but when my phone wouldn't boot I flashed back my siyah kernel onto my Galaxy S2 Gt-i9100. Now my phone is stuck on booting, please help.
Hi
Can u get into recovery mode ?
did u make a backup before flashing ? if so u can load your backup as long as u can get into revovery mode.
If u did not make a back up u may have to flash a rom from your computer using Odin.
read some threads on using Odin and recovery.
I'm still new to this so maybe others can give u more help.
good luck
peace
Factory reset if you have no recovery to restore backup. And if factory reset doesn't work, flash stock rom in Odin (assuming you still have download mode).
Can you access download mode?
Power + Vol Down + Home
If yes then flash stock firmware via odin..

i have s3. i rooted the phone then tried to install flash miui v5 via with but failed -i guess- because phone is lack of cwm. so i installed cwm but the phone wouldnt boot to recover mode, instead there was always original recovery mode. so i tried again and again but still anything change. then i tried to unlock bootloder with a app named ez lock i guess i did it but after something my phone went to download mode by itself and there is nothing else. top left there is no version info. just download mode with a green android guy. i removed battery and take it back, and tried to open download mode again there was infos top left screen this time. but when i tried to enter recovery mode it just load something in cwm recovery then there is again download mode without infos top left.
now im downloading stock rom, hope it'll work. is there anything else i can do guys? please help me, im not good at this stuff..
Tried to Flash stock firmware ?
sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !!
Bootloader ??? do you actually have a I9300 as bootloader is not locked .
please help me, im not good at this stuff.. That would be due to not bothering to read the faqs and guides first .
My guess is that you have bricked your phone and need a paid for service repair .
i tried to flash to stock rom with odin, but somehow it failed to flash :S then phone stucked at a screen that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again. then i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261153 and my phone opened.
i have a question though, why didnt cwm open in the phone? if it had opened i would've install miui
Things went wrong because you didn't read or follow the many guides on XDA that other members wrote to help you. Guessing what to do can be very expensive.
CWM didn't open because you flashed in onto a stock ROM, which immediately restored a stock recovery.

Hello all. I have a new ace 3 LTE S7275R. I tried installing CWM recovery found here:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/12/...7275r-clockworkmod-6-recovery-complete-guide/
I tried with odin 3.07 and 1.85
Every time, odin shows success, but when trying to boot into recovery, the phone gets stuck at "recovery booting...."
The phone is otherwise working
Any help getting CWM to work? Or alternatively, how can I return to stock recovery at least?

people did you know that if you flash original OS for s7275r like mine you can escape from the terrors of the bootloop or whatever you call it? Download it from samsung-updates.com and flash with odin in download mode. Its a bit tricky to get to the download mode, but if u take the power in and out a few times and then proceed to enter download mode it should not be prob.

The brother is right.
I did the same thing and got myself back to stock firmware and recovery.
Guess we have to wait for the official image from clockworkmod themselves.
