I'm encoutering this issue with a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (Intl).
The phone randomly got into a bootloop by itself, and since then I could never boot it up. I managed to miraculously boot it once or twice, but then after awhile it went back into bootloop. I can get into download mode/recovery, but the problem is in recovery I am UNABLE TO SELECT anything. Tried power button/home button to select, I can't. Volume buttons work fine.
Here's what I've tried (in no particular order):
Installed Philz CWM touch to do the wipe
Flashed CM10.1.3 / CM10.2
Flashed CWM 6.0.2.9 as recommended on the CM thread (The buttons work fine with this)
Flashed Stock ROM (I9100DXLSD Singapore Stardhub)
Flashed Siyah Kernel and tried to wipe
Another problem is that everytime I flashed CM, the recovery gets overwritten by CWM 6.0.3.8 regardless of the type of recovery I am using at that point. When this happens I am UNABLE TO SELECT anything. Appreciate if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!
Urgently need help here. Nobody? D:
Try to use the odin to flash the kernel use dorimanx (9.xx is for aokp, cm... and the 8.xx is for stock sammy) flash that and do a full wipe with it, download a ROM and go to mount and storage in cwm and mount usb so that you can put the ROM on the phone. Now go to mounts and storage again and format system, (dont reboot after format system, AFTER YOU FLASH THE ROM REBOOT), then flash it.
Ask if you need something more!

Thank you for the response.
I tried the method but it doesn't seem to work. I managed to boot the phone though, strange way of doing it. All I had to do, was hold the the power button until about 3 seconds into the boot animation (the spinning Cyanogenmod, or the one with the Samsung signature tone), and the phone will boot up.
Once again CM went ahead and overwrote my recovery, bringing it back to the recovery that I cannot use. I'd like to know how I can replace this recovery with a touch one. Flashing say Philz touch recovery using Odin will render the phone unable to boot. Even flashing CWM 6.0.2.9 as recommended by the CM team (the one that prevents MMC-SUPERBRICK) will not allow me to boot the phone.
Also ROM Manager wouldn't let me flash a touch recovery unless I give them some money. Any other method to flash a touch recovery?
The Philz kernel is for sammy roms only I think. Did you do a wipe with a script https://db.tt/42o0ebwz . Just run it in cwm and you can try and flash the kernel through cwm again. Report back.

Yes you're right it's for Sammy ROMs I missed that part out, my bad.
BTW what do I do with the script? I've never used it before.
You flash it before flashing a new ROM. It basically removes parts of the phone that they maybe can make some isues with the ROM that you are flashing.

Alright I'll give it shot and report back. Gotta get some work done atm thanks a lot for your help so far!
With regards to recovery it's not that important since the phone works now more or less.

Sorry for taking awhile to reply. The wipe script doesn't seem to work, but it's alright.
Now I've got another question. Is there any way to add a power menu tile to quick settings so I can access the power menu to shut down the phone since the power button doesn't respond on mine. (I can turn on the phone, but it doesn't respond to anything else) I can't find any threads that provide such a mod, and can't be sure if AOKP has it 'cause I can't find a list of features for quick settings.
Something like what you see here. Can't seem to find any hint of him sharing it anywhere.
Apps that provide power menu functionality seems to freeze the phone upon shutdown, so they don't work. I'm trying to see if I can shut down the phone with the "official" shut down menu.

[READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
what happened
-Home button is non responsive
-tried to revert back to previous rom CM9-CM7 to see if it was a software issue but got into a bootloop.
-Can't wipe user data anymore in recovery due to no home button functionality
I need to revert to my stock so I can get my home button fixed. Yet can't find a way that works due to not being able to wipe data as recoveries generally use the home button to make selections.
I do have a usb jig and can put the phone in download mode.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions at all.
Basically I need to somehow wipe data through recovery without the home button and then download stock all without using the home button.... >.>
I am running villianrom1.1 because it was one of the only things I could find that auto wipes data to bypass the boot loop and don't have clockworkmod recovery.
Any help suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated!
Since you can get to download mode have you try using odin to flash back to bell 2.3.3?
Well I tried reverting back to stock already. I get into a boot loop due to not being able to wipe
Do you gave CWM installed? If so, use CWM Manager icon in the app list to boot into recovery.
Edit. Sorry, just read your last sentence. Hmmm, not sure now

From this thread flash a wipe rom via odin, that will factory reset and wipe everything from the phone, a clean slate if you will.
veyka I have tried to flash my stock rom before and it didn't work. How do those differ and if I do flash them will I be able to flash it after flashing one of those?

An Odin flash should boot. Try finding a 3 part file with pit and tick repartition. Many say to avoid repartition but I've never had any problems. I've never had to wipe my phone when using Odin. Seems like you are flashing a no-wipe version. So maybe also check that its a wipe version (1 part or 3 part file).
Sent from my GT-I9100
A full wipe rom via Odin will work. Another choice but takes more work would be to boot into recovery then use adb to wipe data from the command line.
I can't think off hand what commands to type into adb to do it though.
Maybe try wiping using dialer code *2767*3855#

Install CM recovery First
Here are the steps:
1) Install CM Recovery using Heimdall Suite.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II
It will be full wipe.
2) Install stock ROM through ODIN.
It will definitely work.
hey,
is there anyway you can explain the steps in more detail.
Thanks for your help

AOKP. I am stuck in a boot loop.. tried installing other ROMs but keep getting back in the boot loop into recovery.
I need some help ASAP!
Try pulling the battery for 10 minutes then make sure it's fully charged then go into recovery. and flash rom again
you might have to use odin and flash your phone back to stock.
None of my attempts to recover worked.. so i decided to ODIN to stock and back to AOKP. So far so good.. AOKP stock loaded, now i'm going to try and do a backup restore.
One thing i missed though --- i didn't install the atlas file with the stock ROM.. does it matter? what does it do anyway?
The reason you bootlooped was because you 3 fingered to recovery on an ics rom, which is a big no-no. Always boot to recovery via power menu. You should have re-partitioned using the pit file, but if everything works I wouldn't sweat it. If you start to get fc's then you know where you went wrong.

You're right.. that i did. My phone was blank and the power button just wouldn't boot the phone so i resulted to the force-recovery. Everything seems to be working, and i'm going to flash to milestone 6 while i'm at it. Anything i should watch out for other that FC's? i've actually read while doing research that Atlas may actually cause instabilities..

P.S.This was the only place to come to.
Ok everything is fine now.
Thanks for help.
Can somone please help me. I have no idea whats wrong. Its stuck at the Samsung boot logo and wont do anything.
This is what i did before it all.
I wanted to try out a custom ROM, so i installed SuperNexus.
Decided i did not like it that much, plus i did not get WIFI to work. Just wanted to try it out more or less.
So i wanted to reset it to STOCK rom again.
I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
And after ODIN was done, its just stuck at the boot logo.
Did i do something wrong? Is it broken?
I did not follow the steps to "reset the warranty" as i thought it would not be any problem.
As i was gonna keep on going rooted.
So i cant go back and get a new one...
Somone please, any advice or tips on what to do?
do u still hav the recovery? try flash another custom rom and see

Don't worry you haven't broke it. Just seems like you have made a wrong step and messed it up. Easily fixed. Try doing a full wipe and follow the guide again

Seems like a kernel related problem. Try to start the guide again or try to flash a kernel with Odin or CWM. Will probably boot after a successful installation!
No i did not do a wipe, wich i probably should have. Problem now is, i cant get back into CWM or am i doing a wrong step?
EDIT: I got into CWM, i did a full wipe. Reboot. Nothing still stuck. Also did try to reinstall a custom ROM and still stuck the the new shiny logo that came with it.

Try the Volume-Up (I think, might be down, one does recovery, the other does download mode, you want recovery) + Home Key + Power button on boot.
If that doesn't go into recovery, you should be able to still go to download mode and flash using Odin from your computer I imagine?
Yeah i read the wrong one when i searched around. I got in. Phone is fixed now =) It booted when i took full wipe AND clean the cache thing.
Thanks for the help!
Full wipe is usually helpful when it comes to stuck on boot situation,corrupted rom or not correctly flashed rom.
after u flash with odin
u should enter recovery
do a factory reset
and it will work
thats how the s3 updates work
i had that problem too and i fixed it
Nothing is working.
Nothing is working for me.
Same happened to me after I flashed stock BTU (UK) 4.0.4 ROM (LG8). It just sat at Samsung logo with slowly pulsing Notification light. I rebooted and same thing.
I went into recovery (turn off and then hold VolUp + Home button + Power and as soon as lil Android appears, let go. it should go into recovery) i selected Factory reset and then wipe cache and rebooted and it booted fine.
Thanks all. I'm an 'old hat' at flashing roms etc., but never had the phone hang on boot after a flash, and you really do get a horrible sinking feeling as you wait longer and longer for it to respond. definitely gonna remember this trick to boot to recovery and wipe.
Thanks again to all
Hey.
I have Samsung Tab 10.1 GT-P7510(Wifi version I think), after updating it to official ICS, instaling CWM via Odin, the screen in recovery mode is jumping.
Searched the forum, found the bootloader fix, the recovery stopped jumping, I rooted the devise, flashed new ROM (Revolution something), and every time the screen is turning off it is starting to jump again, the only way of fixing it is to restart the devise until the screen deems again, or instal the stock ROM to fix it permamently, but it sucks.
The only solution that I found on the forum was the bootloader I already installed.
Can any one help a noob pls?
Thank you
I have the same problem and still suffering from it i did not found any material to fix it. Lets see may be some one will help us...

It is what is stopping me from rooting my ICS Stock version. CWM load results in rolling recovery screen and fixing that with bootloader results in rolling wake-up screen. Have reloaded HC 3.2 and run the ICS update again to fix it. This has been covered in quite a few other threads, but none of them is fixing Stock ICS rooting... CM10 or equivalent ROMs will remove that problem, but I am still under warranty, and if something happens...
Hey guys, FYI I I had the Rolling problems Recovery and wake! but I recieved my P7510 back from samsung repair, I bricked it....and it came back with factory installed ICS on it I swore I was not going to Root or try ROMs for awhile!
Three days later I had flashed;
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) 2.2.2.1 - GT-P7510 HERE via Odin.
Toldo's "Stock ICS roms, rooted, deodexed, zipaligned UELPL" for GT-P7510 aka the WiFi tab from HERE. With no rolling Recovery or from wake!
Then I decided to flash via TWRP, Toldo's JellyBeanRom ICS v7 from HERE then flashed Yoda's Kernel v2.2 from HERE No Rolling anything I love how my Tab is running now!
I have not tried CWM as of yet but try out TWRP, I didn't get any rolling with just TWRP and Factory installed ICS and if you want a good Stock Rooted ICS HERE!
It's just 2 flashes a way it will take less time than troubleshooting and waiting for an answer!

I had the same problem you are having when I first tried installing pershoot's recovery and bootloader for CM10.
Here is how I fixed it:
1. Flash recovery via odin. When tab reboots hold volume down to boot into download mode.
2. Flash bootloader via odin, When tab reboots hold volume down to enter recovery.
3. Wipe cache and davlik, flash ROM.
During this process my tab would get the rolling screen during the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen and wouldn't stop after each step if I didn't hold down volume key during reboot.
Now I am on CM10 with no rolling screen and no SOD.
Hope this helps.

FYI... I flashed the bootloader and the recovery through the PDA slot on odin.
Exactly the same problem here, I tried countless ways but none is working, currently downloading the UK version ICS to see if the same problem will occur or not
EDIT: Same problem as before
What is cousing this problem? Not every one have this but it is pretty common, is it the soft or the hardware?
Trying all the solutions now...
The recovery process described here:
http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...kmod-recovery-5-5-0-4-custom-recovery-102580/
Should install 5.5.0.4, which works for me. Assuming, of course, that you're device is a P7510.

I had to play with it a few times to get it to work but I flashed both of them via the PDA slot in odin. I also didn't change the file name in anyway before I flashed them.
This is what i used to fix my rolling screen which rendered my tablet useless, I still get a flicker from time to time when using the tablet in general. I believe this is a problem with the rom and not with the bootloader or recovery.
Found a solution, not the best, but it is working for me.
The problem was in the bootloader, it was trashing the ROMs, so I installed 5.5.4.0 memoriezed the path to the .zip in the recovery mod, flashed stock ICS, flashed recovery, placed the ROM.zip in the general directory on the tablet, booted to recovery.
It was rolling, the path is
Volume Up (Right) - Instal zip
Power - Enter
Power - Choose zip from internat sd card
Volume Down (Left) - ***Go Back***
Volume Down (Left) - is the last file\dir in the list, if you plase only the rom there, you cant miss.
Power (Enter aka install this)
Volume down x5 times to go from no to yes
Power (Enter) Wait to install to complete a few minets, you will see the color change in the flickering ><
Volume Down (Left) - Go Back
Power - Enter
Power - Reboot Now
The new rom installed, working (For me atleast), the recovery is still broken, but if you leave only one .zip file there you can use this path every time.
This is for desperate ppl like me, that none of the solutions above worked for them. It workes on CWM 5.8.X.X too
Hope I helped.

Hi guys,
Yesterday I finally got to instal a new ROM onto my phone. I've done this before so my phone was already rooted and had the bootloader unlocked. I decided t ogo with Cyanogenmod10. My build was 4.1.B.0.587. I used the tutorial on cyanogenmod wiki and done everything as was said, step by step. I wasn't sure if ClockworkMod would be installed with the rom, so I donwload x-tools and isntalled it form there. Once thaat was done I proceeded to installiion. Everything went fine up until getting into CWM. I am now stuck in a boot loop, constaltly showing the xpera free project logo, then the screen goes dark and this all over and over again. So I searched the net and forums, but couldn't find any one with this problem. Most people either get into CWM and from there can't get further, or they turned the phone on adn after using some application theirs system crashes, but nobody seems to have problems with CWM. I can't get anywhere from here and have no idea what to do. If somebody could please help me, I would be very gratefull! Thanks

you have to wait until the LED appears then you can press volume down (you can also try volume up or power button) to enter recovery....but i suggest you flash stock rom back first and make sure that your phone can boot fine...then flash custom kernel and flash CM10 in recovery...

Hmmm...i said flash stock ROM not stock kernel...if you phone boot fine using stock kernel then you flash fxp kernel (custom kernel) and boot into CWM...no need to flash CWM separately cause CWM is already inside custom kernel...

WTF... So I charged my phone first so I reach the recommended 85%... Meanwhile I redownloaded the CM10 if it wasn't a bad downnload or something, from the original website. Once that was done, I turned my phone off, turned flashtool on a connected my phone in fastboot mode. I then flashed the kernel with boot.img from CM, unplugged and turned the phone off, waitign for the logo, pressed the volume down button many times and ntohing. I tried multiple times, different buttons too. Still the same. What can I be doing wrong?

When I have the phone flashed with stock kernel I can get into the CMW recovery. Trying to install CM with the stock kernel is i guess not a good idea right?
EDIT: So I tried downloading CW9 if that wouldn't make a difference, but it's the same story. Once I boot the phone it just keeps looping from the logo to black screen, no LED lights up, nothing. What if I did a factory reset either from CWM or in the normally booted? Could that help in anyway?

Hmmmm...how many times did i have to tell you, you need to FLASH STOCK ROM first...stock rom has stock kernel inside it...flashing STOCK rom will factory reset your phone...it should make your phone like new...after your phone boot normally then you can flash custom kernel (fxp kernel) and boot into recovery using that kernel...then only then you can flash CM10 into your phone....

Hi guys,
Yesterday I finally got to instal a new ROM onto my phone. I've done this before so my phone was already rooted and had the bootloader unlocked. I decided t ogo with Cyanogenmod10. My build was 4.1.B.0.587. I used the tutorial on cyanogenmod wiki and done everything as was said, step by step. I wasn't sure if ClockworkMod would be installed with the rom, so I donwload x-tools and isntalled it form there. Once thaat was done I proceeded to installiion. Everything went fine up until getting into CWM. I am now stuck in a boot loop, constaltly showing the xpera free project logo, then the screen goes dark and this all over and over again. So I searched the net and forums, but couldn't find any one with this problem. Most people either get into CWM and from there can't get further, or they turned the phone on adn after using some application theirs system crashes, but nobody seems to have problems with CWM. I can't get anywhere from here and have no idea what to do. If somebody could please help me, I would be very gratefull! Thanks
John

probably bcuz u used CWM located in phone storage & deleted it. happens.
to shorten here all, i advice u to use allways kernels (built in) recovery. (forget about xparts its onlx for locked bl ppl)
also if u want to go for a cm (10+) build try LX from here bcuz FXP is NO longer supported! they kleave us. also its very outdated/old/bad
if u flash (any) kernel CWM is inbuilt, so just reflash the kernel using fastboot (cmd commands) , then on power on press the vol up button moretimes!! to enter CWM (must work) i really advice u to use some LX build. (dont forget to wipe partitions bfore flash)

Okay guys, I'm really confused right now. I just couldn't manage to boot into CWM with CM, I tried many versions, none worked. I then applied the exact same steps onto LX and it worked perfectly, I was in CWM after pressing the volume down butto na few times. Now it's been almost a month since I did this and I wanted to change to a differet version again, so I wanted to try CM again, but it's the same thing, I can't get to CWM. Any ideas?
Thanks
