Hi,
I really need help!
I'm stuck in CWM after trying to install cm11 on my Samsung galaxy s2 GT-i9100
I tried factory resetting and other things but it still goes to CWM after rebooting.
Please help me cause i dont know what to do anymore and i would really appreciate it if someone could help me.
Have you tried factory reset in recovery. How did you flash the rom. What wipes did you do before install?

Yes i tried factory reset in recovery. i wanted android 4.4 kitkat on my phone and i googled and searched how to do it.
So i followed these steps from this website:galaxys2root.com (srry but i can't place any links cause im new)
First i needed to root my phone so i did that following these steps: galaxys2root.com and when it was done i got CWM Recovery v6.0.2.7 and it was good so far but i also wanted to clear my usb storage and after all that i formatted my usb storage. So now i was ready to put android 4.4 on my phone but they recommended to have a higher version of the CWM recovery by installing cm11: galaxys2root.com
I tried to install CM11 on my phone in recovery mode and it said: 'installation aborted' so i thought, ok maybe it just doesn't work and i rebooted and i was in CWM again. I rebooted a couple of times but it was stuck in CWM. I tried factory reset after i was stuck in CWM but it didn't help.
just flash phill or siyah kernel with odin and then flash pound rom or other 4.4 rom you prpbably have ome with bad recovery

So did you try and install on that recovery or did you update before the flash? You need to update to latest cwm recovery before you flash cm11 unofficial.

No you should install cwm latest first. As for it won't boot any more... try pulling the battery out and then hold download combo keys down and put the battery bk in. May boot you're phone and defo worth a try.
sorry for late response but yeah i forgot that in these 4.4 roms that was disabled if i have time i wil check or i can change it that it wil work on every recovery

Don't know but i've had this problem before when my phone worked fine.
After half a day i tried to charge it and when i put the micro-usb in it i saw the battery logo for 1 sec and it disappeared.
after a day i tried to charge it again and it worked.
so i tried to charge it an hour ago and i saw the battery logo for a sec so it will maybe boot again.
I think something is wrong with my battery i also wanted to replace the battery cause it runs out fast.
Oh and what do i do after it boots? Go in download mode and flash something with odin?

Could well be a bad battery. Best bet is take it to a shop and test a battery but saying that if it runs out of charge quickly then battery will be on its way out. Yes flash stock with Odin then reroot ect ect. When you test the battery don't buy it right away just incase you end up wasting money on a dead phone. Check and make sure it works first then buy it.

haha that was exactly what i was planning on to do. btw there are a lot of different stock kernels which one do i need to flash?
For stock kernel with root and cwm you can't really beat Philz. Get the zip and put it on ext SD and flash it as the update in stock recovery 3e.

You can use Odin to flash this. You can get either zip or tar file of this kernel.
I am new on i9100 but I think that phillz and siyah kernel is designed for 4.1 not 4.4 android.
My best advice is to flash a stock rom and after you have the certitude that all are ok you can make an efs backup and then follow an XDA instructions to flash a 4.4 ROM. Read all posts from the thread of the rom that you what to install.
My think is that you need a full battery to flash. A new battery is not relevant in your case because the new battery can be empty and it will not charge during the kernel problem.

Hi
I searched and only found similar cases with other phones and no solution.
I was on stock 4.0.3 with CWM, rooted and siyah kernel and tried to upgrade to CM9
with Rom manager
i dled cm9 with gapps and let ROM Manager do the backup, wipe and reboot to recovery
but then i just saw the first GT 9100i boot screen with the triangle and after that
the screen stayed black.
i noticed in a darker area that the screen blinked everey few seconds, so i guess its trying to reboot all the time. some kind of bootloop?
i cant access the cwm, nor boot normaly.
just the download mode is working
so i tried to flash a stock FW from intratechs thread via odin
but... FAIL
help would be much appreciated right know :crying:
thank you
Mmm I've had issues with rom manager before but never this severe. All I can suggest is what I would do which is to fash stock firmware from samfirmware via PDA section in odin. If this doesn't work I think there is a sticky thread which is dedicated to situations like this. It requires flashing a firmware via odin again but all partitions are used so it will wipe your device. All the best.

Can you still get into Download Mode?
EDIT:
Try manually wiping data, cache and dalvik cache.
Try to go into recovery. Hold down volumen up, home key, and power on, at once hold them down ontil you reach recovery.

I have the very same problem as you.
I can enter download mode but can't enter recovery mode.
I can flash any rom I can find but all of them have no use.
Still can't boot nor recovery.
Have you fixed the problem just by reflashing stock rom?

Ok, so I was about to install custom ROM to a unrooted SGS2 phone, I didn't have a computer so I decided to root my phone installing cwm.zip through stock recovery and then installing su and busybox via cwm. then I backed everything up, downloaded a custom ROM with a custom kernel and cwm touch recovery with it. I went to stock recovery again and installed cwm.zip to get to cwm recovery and first made a nandroid backup and then installed the custom ROM. It turned off while it was on aroma installer and now it doesn't go on. Is it bricked? is there anything I can do?

I can't get anywhere.. and I assume I can't do anything even if I get it plugged on a computer? if it doesn't go to Odin or stock recovery or no where at all what are my chances? bricked I guess. BTW will anyone at Samsung know that I tried flashing my phone if I take it to be fixed? I mean if it doesn't go on, don't they have to replace everything and they would never even know that i tried to flash it?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You soft-bricked it maybe...
Did you try booting up your phone pressing the POWER + HOME + VOL UP keys? If it boots into recovery, then just do a nandroid restore...
If you're just concerned with bringing the phone back to life... Boot up your phone pressing POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN keys. It will show you a green n' black menu, then press VOL UP. It will then show an Android robot with "downloading" written below. Now just connect it to your PC (I hope you already installed drivers for S2) and start ODIN. (Make sure KIES is off)
Use a .tar.md5 or .tar(or any other format) file(or files depending on your firmware) and put it in the respective box. Leave the tickboxes as they are and DO NOT use a .pit file AND DON'T TICK repartition.
Click start flash and your phone should boot up on the stock ROM again!
Just trying to help you!

where can I get a USB jig? I don't know if my motherboard is broken, it doesn't turn on at all, screen stays off what ever I press. and even if a put the charger in. in the evening I will have a computer and I can connect it to my PC but I assume that there is nothing I can do anyways because I can't just turn the phone on. I was trying to install a custom ROM with a temporary CWM recovery. didn't have cwm yet installed but I assumed it will be installed at the same time I install the rom because it included it. so if I have hard bricked my phone and I take it to be repaired, will they see I have tried to flash the phone? will it be fixed with guarantee?

Yes I'm sure I was installing a right ROM meant for my phone. The resurrection remix 3.0.9 for I9100. this is what I did exactly.
1. went to stock recovery
2. installed CWM.zip from external SD card.
3. Got into temporary CWM recovery and then made a nandroid backup with success.
4. tried to wipe data but got stuck and rebooted my phone. It was now stuck in the galaxy logo.
5. I went to stock recovery again to install CWM.zip and this time I straight installed the resurrection remix and I got into Aroma installer and everything went fine until on 50% the phone turned off and now doesn't go on.
P.S. I was still on Stock ROM and kernel and recovery when trying to do this. Was using a temporary CWM recovery to install a custom ROM and kernel. I had root access already.
P.S2 I put the charger in and it doesn't even show the battery icon, nothing. and yes the camera is getting hot. Is it a hard brick / dead brick or what ever you call it? if I take it to guarantee, will they fix it or will they be able to see that I damaged my phone myself? thanks
P.S3 can the USB jig work on this problem also?

But if not try this:
Try to change battery MAYBE THAT HELP i don't now i gueses(Sorry bad english) i don't know really
Try this:
Step one would be the Jig
Step two would be a paid for JTAG repair
Step three would be a paid for service centre repair
And try to get out battery for about 1 hour

How the going with the phone ?
Was it on a 4.0.4 ROM? Did you check if it has a bad chip? ie. is susceptible to the emmc bug before flashing?
That could possibly be the cause, although I cant be sure now unless you have her stock rom/kernel details. And if it is, I'm sorry but AFAIK theres no solution to that yet.
Do try getting hold of a USB jig and trying your luck with that first, though.
Hope it works out :fingers-crossed:
Did you try to wipe ANYTHING on stock 4.0.4 kernel ? if you did, then you've been afected by the emmc brickbug and there's no other way to fix it other than replacing the entire motherboard.
Did you try to put your device in download mode (pressing the power button, home button and volume down key) ? If you can get into it, flash a stock rom and problem solved.
Can you enter recovery mode ?
Next time you try to get cwm, just flash siyah and you'll get the whole package (permanent cwm + root + plenty of features) and only after that try to wipe and install custom roms
@Poroto

Hey guys,
I decided to start my phone with a clean slate and un-root it via installing the stock firmware I9300TDUALF2_I9300TVAUALF2_VAU
I've done this before and it's never been a problem, but now my phone will not start up properly. It gets to the Samsung flashing logo in the boot animation and just stays there forever (literally).
I tried 2 (from sammobile & androidromupdate) other different Australian firmwares and still the same thing.
I've flashed CF-Root on the phone, booted up into recovery and installed a few different custom ROMs but the same problem occurs, it just stays put on the boot animation for eternity.
Normally I'm able to work out this sort of thing but I'm at a loss this time
Any ideas?
EDIT: Forgot to mention,
#1.) The startup sound plays during the boot animation if that makes a difference.
#2.) I've tried flashing it from 3 different PC's, with both Odin v1.8.5 and v.3.07
#3.) When I flashed Foxhounds ROM, The whole install ran through fine (Aroma) so I don't think this is a file integrity issue.
EDIT EDIT:
#1.) The phone feels warmer than usual (not hot, just warm, warmer than it normally is when idling) during the infinite boot animation
Hmm I was going to say flash different ROM via odin. Since you have done it already. Can you try flashing different and rooted rom. See how ya go. Make sure the rom you download match the md5. I always face such issues but re flashing helps. Download any other rom copy to external memory. Since you have access to recovery. Flash via recovery. Good luck.

Anyway, you are either not following directions or have bad directions. As the phone reboots from Odin you are to pull the battery out.

I've never pulled battery and haven't ever had issues installing recoveries through Odin. But it wouldn't hurt trying. Out of curiosity, what exactly does it say at the top when you boot into recovery?
Edit: just remembered that if you upgraded to ICS through via OTA, the system reverts back to stock recovery due to code that is imbedded in the ota version of the update. But this code does not exist in the update provided through Kies (what i used). This explains my not needing to do a battery pull during reboot.

As I stated "I just remembered". Confirming your post. So nothing new learned for me lol. It's why I explained why a battery pull may be necessary IF the update was through OTA. If he went through kies, its due to some other reasons. Always best not to make assumptions that's why I asked the questions I did.
Hope y'all have a great Christmas!

Wait until all the new phones get opened today. The forum will be filled with fifty threads like this or the brick threads from wrong Roms!

I've never pulled battery and haven't ever had issues installing recoveries through Odin. But it wouldn't hurt trying. Out of curiosity, what exactly does it say at the top when you boot into recovery?
Edit: just remembered that if you upgraded to ICS through via OTA, the system reverts back to stock recovery due to code that is imbedded in the ota version of the update. But this code does not exist in the update provided through Kies (what i used). This explains my not needing to do a battery pull during reboot.

On the top it says "android system recovery" with no options to flash files or do a backup or anything, which means its the stock one.

Try it. If it works, great. If not, its only a couple seconds waisted. Worth a shot

I've rooted and flashed many times before.
Recently got phone back from repair after SDS and wanted to put Omega 38 on it.
Rooted it fine no problem using Odin... but have read things about CWM recovery possibly still having the problem, so thought (as I'd seen on here) that I needed philz's CWM. Don't know what I've done but now my phone appears "stuck" again.
It gets no further than the black screen with the white Samsung Galaxy Siii logo. Even if I pull the battery still nowt other than that.
I can get the phone recognised in odin, and I can also get into (I think) philz's recovery by volume up+menu+power. I've done a factory wipe and reset but when the phone starts it still stops on the logo page.
Previously, I got stock CWM (that was provided when I rooted with odin and CF-Root-SG3-v6.4) and it mentioned something about not being able to mount sd card and something about android secure. On another thread it mentions something like this with the S2 which required a odin stock tar flash.
Help me sort this problem - already been down with SDS and losing the will to live now! I just want a safe Omega38 and a safe recovery, as it wouldn't look good sending the phone back with SDS again with the same IMEI/Serial number!
did you try to put it Download mode and flash it again with Odin stock firmware 4.1.2... !!
if they change for you interal sd at your first service then you will be okay.
Have you tried a full stock flash with odin? (Not Omega or other custom rom)
I always use a full stock flash with btu csc so I keep my product code. Perka has a flash with LLA and no bootloader.
At the moment I use LLA and an older JB bootloader.
So to recap, flash a full stock firmware. If it does not boot you will then have to reflash Philz recovery again. Use volume up home and power to reboot the phone and goto recovery. Do a factory reset and reboot the phone.
You should then have a fully clean stock flash.
Or you could boot to CWM recovery and format data, system and cache. Then reboot to download mode and flash you stock rom.
If all is ok then flash Omega.
Short of that maybe its gone all Pete Tong and possibly send it back.

Thanks guys
I went away, had a brew and thought about stuff a little.
Managed to flash omega by getting it onto my sdcard. Then did a wipe of everything, and installed omega v38
Seems to be up and running now. I'm assuming that I should remove any links to CWM in my phone menu, and if need download mode in future, just use Volume Up, Menu and Power?
So you didn't notice the help section?
