I installed the following on my S2:
ClockWorkMod: GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9
CyanogenMod : cm-10.1-20130715-NIGHTLY-i9100
Android: ICS
Upon reboot the device just sits there with the logo spinning. been going for about 30mins at this point. If I hold the keys for recovery, then it gets there, and it can get into Odin, so I can restore my stock firmware, but I want to run CyanogenMod.
I have wiped the cache, but it still sits there.
What am I doing wrong?
Did you follow the instructions to the letter?
Wipped before and after?
Checked with CM thread?
Where did you put the CM zip, internal or extrenal?

you have to do a factory reset.Wipe cache isn't enough.

As the thread title states...I was on 7.1 and downloaded/updated it to 7.2 Now the phone doesn't boot up and all I get is the Kernel Panic Upload Mode.
Anyway I can fix this? And if so, is there a way of doing it without completely formatting my phone and losing all my apps?
Oh and if it makes any difference I had to install that Siyah Kernel or whatever it was called to get out of the bootloop issue that I had with CM7.1. I'm thinking that that may be causing the problem....? But then again what do I know
wipe cache only.

How? I've been trying [Power+Volume Up+Home] and it hasn't been doing anything. Can I do it through download mode somehow?
Had this problem when i flashed Lite'ning rom. Had to go into download and flash stock with odin. Took me a few tries to actually get the rom to work. As far as I know, that'd be your only option, seeing as recovery doesn't work for you.
take a deep breath and read, there is a very small chance of bricking your phone just so you know. Flash back original with Odin and start everything again
thanks for the replies...looks like i'm gonna flash the stock firmware back and see what i can do about getting to CM7.2 to work. hopefully flashing stock firmware is enough. I can't imagine how this would completely brick my phone and render it unusable.
As an aside...wtf is the point of this "recovery mode" when the thing doesn't even work half the time?
Anywho...downloading the stock .exe file now from here: http://devsrom4android.blogspot.ca/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmwares-bell-canada.html[/url
Ok so I flashed the stock rom and now I'm in Android system recovery: Should I just reboot system now or do I wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition??

If you flashed stock, you should be fine just rebooting.
Its stuck on the boot screen. I tried just rebooting, then wiping/factory reset, then both wipes...reinstalled stock a few times and nothing worked each time. I'm suck on the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 screen
:-\...when I go into recovery, I get a ton of red messages/errors
I'm gonna try somethig other than stock firmware see if that helps.
edit Ok so I rooted the phone and it got past the first boot screen and now appears to be stuck on the "animated S" boot screen...progress!!

Ok everything back to somewhat normal. Stock ROM didn't work but 2.3.6 did, so I'm on that. Now do I wanna go back to CM is the question...
Either way, thanks again for all the replies and helping me out with this. Greatly appreciated!
I tried a Jelly Bean ROM today....but....Didn't like it....So I wiped, deleted cache, dalvik and flashed back my fave ICS ROM.....the device wont boot. Then I did the whole thin again and got the the "process com.android.phone has stopped" prompted and all I had was a black screen, nothing worked except the notification pane.....
I saw I had a restore image on CWM, restored....all works.....but I wanted a clean install to start fresh.
Suggestions? I want a clean install.
Thanks
Paul

very simple, just follow these steps:
1. Flash your firmware via Odin
2. Boot to recovery,
- Perform a factory data reset
-reboot phone
done.
Remember you must always do a factory reset when upgrading/downgrading android versions. You also need to flash the appropriate gapps.

Hi Guys!
This is my first time posting here and also my first time using an Android but I'm a bit techie myself. I've jailbroken a lot of iphones but this is my first time rooting. I've read a lot of tutorials about rooting and installing cyanogenmod but it keeps failing. Below are the steps I've done:
1. Root the S3 I9300 (International) using CF-Root.
2. I copied cyanogen mod 9 (stable) and gapps on Internal SD.
3. After going to recovery mode, I've followed every instuctions given, I clicked wipe/factory reset, wipe cache and even wipe dalvik.
4. Then I install/flash cyanogenmod 9. It says insllation complete. then I installed gapps and installation complete.
5. Next step is to reboot, but after rebooting it just gets stuck at Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 boot logo.
I've done that 5 times already and still the same result. I've followed every detail about installing cyanogenmod but I don't know why it doesn't load.
I really need a solution.. Thanks

Did you flash cm and gapps after you formatted system?
Hey guys,
After using a CM9 rom for a long time I decided to try a cm10 nightly. I just flashed the rom in ClockworkMod and dont think I updated anything else such as boot loader. It boots, says "samsung galaxy 10.1, then I get the CM wheel rotating and it comes to a homescreen but says "Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped" and I click "ok" and it just keeps coming up. I cant get to home screen or anything. I used to be savvy with flashing these diff roms but after I was on a stable CM Rom for so long I kind of forgot and didnt do it right.
Like I said my guess is I flashed a jelly bean rom onto a older kernel or boot loader, forgive me if I am using wrong terms here. I am sure it can be brought back but its been awhile since I did this stuff so any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Craig
Did you make a full wipe i.e. system, data, cache, dalvik before flashing?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk HD
Boot to Download mode and Odin ICS 4.0.4 on the device first. That will give you the required bootloader. You can then root the device before you flash the JB. But you must do full wipes (format/factory reset, format system under Mounts/Storage, wipe dalvik under Advance) before the installation. For the installation, make sure your Recovery is the current one. I use CWM Recovery 6.0.3.2 especially if you wish to install CM 10.1 which is what I run. After the installation wipe cache and dalvik again before rebooting.

Hi Guys,
I've rooted my S3, and installed PhilZ Touch 5. Then I clear Data/Factory & Cache along with Delvik. I then proceed to install the custom rom from a zip.
It all installs fine, and says it has done so. But when it reboots, it gets stuck on the GalaxyS3 logo, with a little red Exclimatin mark in the top left corner and stays on that screen until I remove battery or reboot into download or recovery mode...
It seems I just can't load the newley installed roms. I've tried multipul, Archidroid, LiquidSmoot, pureLook HD, etc..
Has anyone run into this problem?
Its an Australian S3, so its the International i9300 btw.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Also, is there a way to completely wipe the phone and start from scratch, as I keep seeing ArchiDroid folders in the SD.
To start completely new you can use mega wipe. It will delete anything but the ext sdcard, hence be careful.

Thanks, I'm thinking a MegaWipe would be the best bet, and then start fresh with a custom rom. I need to read more first so I don't screw up the phone..
just to update. the problem was solved with a mega wipe, i installed a new rom, and everything booted normally .
thanksssss
same problem i think except the red exclamation on the corner
Mr. John. i have the same problem now. You removed the battery after being stucked at the logo of samsung right? i wonder, were you able to go back to the home screen after removing the battery? thanks

No, if the phone won't boot after installing a new rom then no amount of battery pulling is going to make it boot.
Flash the super wipe .zip from recovery, assuming you've followed the instructions from your rom chef correctly.
survived the stucked screen

I already escaped the stuck screen. thankfully i have a nandroid back up (and i can still access the recovery mode). i was able to recover my old phone status.
thank you!
I was able to boot into recover & download mode, I was able to flash via odin any custom recovery and boot into it, I was able to wipe the cache/settings & delvik via recovery and then install any rom I liked, I could however not boot into any new/custom rom.
I then ran the MEGAWIPE.Zip in Philz, which I believe wiped some framework or something that was left behind stopping new roms to boot. I then installed a New rom, and it booted right away. No trouble what so ever...
