i dont know if this is in the correct section, but i REALLY need someones help. basically i rooted my friends phone, installed cwm recovery, and then i went to test cwm recovery to see if it was working ok,( i dont have the optimus v so im not too familiar with it) any ways, i couldnt figure which button was used to select an option in cwm. so i figured something went wrong when i installed cwm, i basically gave up and just did a factory resest from within the stock rom(not in cwm) forgetting you need stock recovery to do this. now it wont go to anything BUT the cwm recovery screen, i figured out the camera button is the select button, but i tried flashing a few roms via cwm, and when i reboot the phone it just goes straight to cwm recovery everytime..some one please help, i dont wanna buy him a new phone, im pretty sure this is fixable. if you can help, a big thanks from me

I can't seem to get to the CWM recovery, only the default Android recovery, which is preventing me from installing custom ROMs. My phone is rooted, and I've installed ROM manager, flashed CWM from it, and tried opening CWM recovery from ROM Manager, and by the button press method. No matter what I do, I end up at the default recovery screen.
Anyone know how to fix this?

First off, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Mods, you may move this thread if need be. I was just shown this website about two weeks ago by a friend and have only been a lurker since. So I apologize if my first post is one needing assistance.
First off, I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to doing all this reboot,recovery, root,etc. But I can usually figure stuff out. I have researched how to do all this stuff over the last to weeks learning how to do all this. Let it be known that I was already rooted with siyah 3.4.2? kernel with superuser, CWM, and had ROM Manager downloaded. Last night I had finally decided to try and download a custom rom (AOKP), and I went through ROM Manager to try and reboot into recovery mode..the phone went dead. I have not been able to turn the phone on since last night. I have tried taking the battery out, trying to hold down volume buttons/power button to get into download mode, etc..But nothing is happening. When I power on, I can see the screen where it says "Samsung Galaxy SII" w/ the triangle, but then the screen goes black and nothing. In a dark room, you can see that the screen looks like it's trying to fire by flickering, but again...nothing. Sorry if this has been alot of reading, but I just want to be as thorough as I can. If anybody can tell me what went wrong, and how it might be fixed, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Remove the battery and replace it. hold the up/down volume and power button. The screen should light up. Continue to hold them until the phone goes into recovery mode. The phone should turn on and off a couple times before it enters recovery. Then wipe the data and caches. Hopefully at the point the phone will work. If it wont work you could always try to buy a download jig. They are only a couple dollars and can easily be found with a search.

That usually cause more trouble than it's worth. Espeically for a noob. I had been in that situation back when I first start doing it. First thing I used was CWM and I had the same/similar problem.
That is why everyone here always mentioned to not use CWM.

@BigCohiba,
You need to get into download mode. You should be able to do that without using a jig. With the phone off, but with the battery still in the phone, hold down vol- and vol+ (but not power) while you plug in the usb cable.
The following instructions given by fakhri should also work:

After that, flashing siyah kernel alone may be enough to allow the phone to boot, but you may have trouble finding a Siyah in Odin flashable tar format.
...or, flash straight stock UCKH7, or flash stock plus root UCKH7. You can find download links for those in one or the other of the guides linked in my signature.
Please let us know your success or problems as you proceed.

Wipe data/factory reset is the correct next step. Select that line using the vol buttons, then press the power button. You will see text appear that confirms the wipe was completed. Then your phone should boot.
Next go to the second guide that BROKKANIC posted for you (first link in my signature) and follow the steps. Feel free to ask if there is something you don't understand.

I would personally suggest against that. Just use odin to flash a gb custom kernel. Then flash one of the better ICS firmwares we have available in the development forum.

That's your call, of course. I'd recommend against it. If you really want stock ICS I'd at least install stock plus root, and install a custom and known safe kernel. See this thread in development.
Or, install the custom firmware of your choice from the forums here. For a popular stock ICS rom, there is Semi by AJ Newkirk.

Hello.
I have a samsung galaxy s2 and its been working fine for more than a year. Few days ago, i did a factory reset and now when I power on my phone it stays on the Samsung logo. If i go in recovery, it says CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah. and i have a lot of options. I did wipe data/factory reset and after that completes it powers on and goes in safe mode, i can do stuff for around 30 seconds and then it restarts and stuck on samsung logo again.
I tried flashing stock firmware but Odin does not detect my phone. i have tried on two different computers, they both have the drivers everything, tried on different ports, tried with different cables.
Please Help.
what rom you're on?

1) 'Please use a descriptive thread title'
2) Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, find it, try as many of the things in that thread as many times as you need to in order to get a successful flash. If you try the stuff in the thread two or three times then come back to this thread & say 'I tried blah blah a few times & still the same', guess what ? Your phone will stay busted. Why ? Because perseverance always fixes these issues unless the phone isn't recoverable. You need to try everything in that thread over and over and over if necessary. There's nothing that isn't in that thread which can be suggested in these situations. Why ? That thread is the 'Bible'.
So...Go...You now have the tools to fix your phone.
i have already seen that thread and tried what it advised but to no avail.

Tried but did not work.
Same thing happens, goes into the system, and then restarts after 20-30 seconds and then stuck on samsung logo.
Well,if you can boot,quickly go to phone's settings,scroll down and tap "about phone".Write down android,firmware and kernel versions and post here.
That stuff is irrelevant. OP, you're clearly not doing some things here or not telling us exactly what you did to get the phone in that state (like most people who get into this situation). Service centre.
i said in my FIRST post that after i did a factory reset, when i restarted it got stuck on the samsung logo.
Anyone ?
Please.
Well,if your current rom is messed up and can't use ODIN,you may try flashing a stock based jb rom through recovery.Choose the one you like,follow the instructions and that's it.
Just a suggestion:angel:
Could you please link me to which one i should download. i do not want to mess my phone up even more.
im from uk.

What's the point in telling people what the rules are when you go and break them in the next sentence ? Why not just tell people to go read some rom threads & try some roms ? Do you realise how much more likely it is that a n00b will break their phone at some point in the fairly near future when you spoonfeed them everything, which is exactly what you've been doing for the past few weeks, as opposed to pointing them in the right direction & telling them to learn for themselves ?

I don't get you mate.The man asked me to suggest a rom so I did.Honestly,it was the only stock jb based rom I ever tried as AOSP is my home.As much as I hate stock,I know that rom has little to no problems,so that OP won't come back here anytime soon.Which is good.Never wanted to break any rules,but because his phone was in unusable state,I pointed him to (IMHO) the right direction.Is this a bad HELP?
I know I did some things here and there that made some noobs lifes easier.So this means I should always reply by saying:
Hey,there's search button for that!DIY!Troubleshooting thread is not for these kind of questions.Get outta here!!
That's not how I understand HELP.
Anyway,thanks for your opinion,really respect that.
