hi, I have SGS-II I 9100. I was using root box 4 rom on my SGS-II with default kernel. All of a sudden day before yesterday the baseband and IMEI just vanished. Flashing the OEM rom seemed as solution. So I flashed the Android 4.1.2 India rom. It did flashed it successfully. The phone restarts and shows android logo and does something. When it restarts again it goes directly into recovery. I have tried with different versions but its still the same. Tried to flash Siyah kernel and Install custom rom. It still does that goes directly into CWM recovery screen. Can anyone help with this issue. I am clueless on how to fix it. Forgot to mention it does not reboot automatically. When clicked on reboot it shuts down. I then need to pull out the battery and get it back into it and then start the phone.

Flash stock firmware again via Odin when you phone booting after flashing press volume up+home +power button for 10sec it's give you stock recovery then select wipe data factory reset then reboot your Device it will successfully boot

Thank-you for your reply. I flashed Stock i9100 from Sam firmwares. Gave a try to India, UK and italy edition. It does not go to CWM but rather goes into android recovery wizard. The screen where you see red triangle with android died or something. Its been more than a day and still cant find how to fix it. After flashing the stock firmware when i reboot my phone I get to a screen with android and status bar right at the bottom of it. Probably installs boot loader or something it the second screen once you reboot your phone after flashing the stock firmware. The next time you reboot you should be getting to OS right? But it takes me to recovery instead? What does it expect me to do in the recovery screen? I really don't know. I can access only 2 modes Download and recovery.
Here's the thing..3e recovery is the samsung default recovery mode whereas CWM is a customized one.
You either flash it via Odin or you flash a custom kernel via odin to get it.
Anyway, as long as you are NOT on 4.0.4 you can factory reset and wipe cache via stock recovery (3e).
Again, what did you flash exactly?

I installed CM7 on my Galaxy ace and tried to restore back to stock ROM. the restoration failed, the phone is now in a bootloop (the samsung logo flashes once every two seconds). I tried getting the phone into recovery mode but it does not get that far.
However, I am able to get the phone to download mode and tried loading the stock 2.3.3, 2.3.5 ROM via ODIN. Both times, ODIN passed the installation. but my phone has not improved. can anyone please help?
PS: consider me a beginner.

Flash it with odin choose it as pda
might say aint compatibile but flash anway
yeah. just tried that. I downloaded the file and chose that as PDA and flashed my phone with odin.. I am still getting the same problem. I guess, the warranty is void since I installed CM7.. so what to do now?
well before giving up you could just let it do its thing for like an hour and see what happens...

Wait from where did you downloaded firmware snd which version of odin did you used.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
the same happened to me also.
in the past i've flashed my ace with cm7 and wanted to go back to the stock rom.
flashed the stock rom with odin but the phone stuck in a boot loop.
if you have flashed stock rom with odin..
do this..
remove the phone batteries and let them out for a minute.
after that insert the battery again and goto the Recovery mode by holding the power and the home button.
once you are in recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery).
do a data/factory wipe.
a cache wipe
and a Dalvik Wipe.
and reboot the phone.
hope you phone boots normally.
Am using ODIN version 4.38.
downloaded the original CM7 version from this site ported by grif (Kooper Kang something).
When I had problems with that, I tried to revert to Stock rom 2.3.3 from sammobile.com
To answer other question, I am NOT able to go to the recovery menu. Hence cannot wipe cache, reset etc. The phone restarts before that. The only mode I am able to switch on is the Download mode. Even if I reload the ROM with ODIN showing a "PASSED" at the end of the process, my phone is still a brick.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help.
Seriously, I've seen this before. It can only be fixed by the service centre... flash the stock rom and take it in under warranty if you still have it.

Wrong, after flash the stock rom with ODIN take battery, insertt battery, the keep pressed Home button and Power button until it goes to Samsung Recovery, then do the full wipe and reboot.
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.

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.

Hey all
UK I'm running Pa2.13 and flashed siyah 1.6A9 L17 on UK Samsung gti9300 and received update from goomanager for my roM
I downloaded pa v2.13.1 wiped cache./dalvik then flashed the update then I flashed gapps again and then wiped cache again and rebooted my phone. All worked fine but I realised steaks had disappeared off my phone so I decided to re flash the siyah over cwmr (probably my mistake?)
Rebooted my phone and went to Samsung logo and then black screen so I waited 30mins, and nothing still. I went into download mode odin mode by mistake by pressing volume up key. Now my phone in recovery mode and says Downloading do not turn off target? Am I bricked? Also can I put my phone on charge?

You are not bricked. Go to download mode and flash a stock firmware. It will bring you back to square one

Thank you I use mobile odin on stock, rooted (doh), i9300 with siyahkernel 1.7 ... i wanted to try out codeworkx latest CM10 on my 2ndROM and installed (cm's) ROM Manager. After installing (ROM Manager) i used it to flash CWM. I started to think "maby read before do" so I read some of chainfires comments on CF-root (which i used preor to installing Mobile Odin Pro) and he said that his CWM isnt compatible with ROM manager. Ok... I flashed a "undo governor tweaks zip" with mob odin and injected SU, Everroot and mobile Odin hoping this would undo any possible damage i had done. Well i wanted to do a ROM backup and thought that was doable in CWM so i rebooted, vol down - home - power, and pressed vol up (maby completely off course there but I ended up with a stuck odin, same as OP. I just did what you said (while it was stuck...) and the phone nicely rebooted and started up normally.
A long post "just" for saying thank you, but I thought it was appropriate that I told (people) what I did and what happened...
Cheers!
I flashed a 4.4.2 stock rom for my mega 6.3 and now it's stuck in the ''recovery booting'' screen with the samsung logo, i can access download mode easily. I've searched, and i think i have to do a factory reset, but i can't access recovery mode (vol up+ home+ power), i've tried everything :/ it just won't boot in recovery mode, so i don't know what to do now, i can successfully flash everything with odin and downlaod mode, but it just keeps on the recovery booting screen, please help!.

Just out of curiosity, have you had the screen replaced on it? That's a common error that has occurred to a lot of people when they've gone back. It's in another thread if you have. Other than that, I have no idea, but it a factory reset is recommended after the install, I'm not sure if you can get the phone loaded to do it. Good luck!!

Flash CWM with odin. Now, when the phone restarts remove the battery before it boots. Now, insert the battery after approximately a minute or so then try to enter recovery mode by using, Vol up + Power button + Home button. As soon as phone vibrates leave power button. Wait till it shows Samsung Galaxy Quattro. and then leave other two buttons too. It should boot into cwm.
At last if nothing works, do a dirty Flash stock Rom via Odin and repeat the cwm flashing process. :fingers-crossed:

I did all what you maintioned with flashing cwm and using odin. Also battery was out of phone for about 2 minutes (for any case).
So can you provide me a link for that "dirty stock rom" and give me intructions how to install it?
And one more thing. When i removed battery for more then 2 minutes, then start up phone, data and time was on system default. Same as phone when i bought it and first boot it. Also idk why, but my phone dont have sduos mark on top of screen, and has 1.6gb of internal memory. So maybe this will be helpfull.

By dirty flash I mean, flashing the stock rom over the current stock rom without formatting data and all. That is called dirty flash. Clean flash means wiping all data and then flash the Rom.
Take the backup of all the data and try to do a clean flash if dirty flash doesn't work.
Flashing Stock and repeating the cwm flashing process should work if every step is done as advised.
Try your luck again. :good:

If you know how to use odin and flash the clean stock rom, it has to boot. There is no way it won't until unless you make some mistake and the flashing fails in between. After flashing the stock rom, initial boot will take long time, you need to keep patience.
Go ahead and flash the stock rom via odin.
