[E4GT Galaxy s2] Pacman rom stuck on amination screen!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello i am a newbie here. I recently installed Pacman rom the released version to my epic 4G touch galaxy s2 and it worked flawless. [[[How i installed it : 1) restored my phone to ICS. 2) Got Mobile Odin and got the add on to flash. 3) Flashed CWM EL29 4) Got into recovery and Wiped data/ factory reset. 5) Installed ROM and GAPPS 6) Wiped Cache and Dalvik and i rebooted.]]]Then i saw the new cyanogen 11 and i decided to get but when i got into recovery it would say an error trying to install the rom. So i wanted the Pacman rom back so i went and restored my E4GT to ice cream sandwhich FJ12. After that i installed mobile odin and got the add on thingy to flash. Next I clicked Kernel and flashed CWM EL29 v.5.0. I did the steps again. Wipe/Data Factory reset. I installed the ROM and GAPPS. I wiped cache partition and dalvik cache. So when i rebooted it.. It took me to the boot animation with pacman chasing the ghost and the bottom saying pacman with the animation glowing different colors.I waited and waited for about 10 mins and nothing happened. It still stood there! I also noticed that when it was doing this, i tapped the home button and the keys lit up. I kept tapping the keys and nothing happened to the screen. It stayed the animation. I restored back to ICS again. Did all the exact same steps. It still stayed there! I kept restoring to ICS and did what i kept on doing but i tried different steps in recovery mode. Still sits there at the screen animation. After like 8 times of failure.. I tried to go and restore GB28 Jellybean stock and then restore to ICS stock. When the downloading process finished, the virgin mobile animation kept repeating and never wanted to load the screen. So i went back to ICS and tried to get Pacman rom for the ninth time. I failed. Help me! I also noticed that when i go to wipe dalvik cache.. Before wipe it says something in the bottom " extsd-not found " something like that. But i still wipe it. So please help if you can!

I'm stuck in a boot loop

No matter what I do I'm stuck in a boot loop. I tried flashing the lightning rom, the angelo rom, and even the stock ROM. I got the Stock ROM (KE7 came on phone) here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and opened odin with auto reboot checked. and f.reset checked, and I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1.tar goes into PDA and i click start and get a pass and a succeed, phone reboots, and starts, but once it gets to the animated samsung screen, it goes back to the first galaxy s 2 screen and keeps going back and forth. I went into CWM and wiped all cache, dalvik cache, and formatted system and data trying to start with a good clean wipe. I got a headache so im going to bed and look forward to waking up and someone having the answer to my problem posted right here. Please help
Hey man I got the same problem as you, I've tried everything you've said.
Problem started after I tried to do a factory reset this morning on litening 1.1.
had the same problem with the lightning rom ended having to do a factory wipe and loaded the villian rom now all is ok
Thanks mate, I'll give that a try and report back.

[Q] Won't boot, worked fine, then bootloop, now it freezes (using CM9 ICS Nightly)

Hi Friends,
Model Number - GT-P7510
I recently rooted and installed the CM9 ICS nightly rom using the noob video instructions (This included rooting with Odin, installing CMW recovery 4.0.0.4, then I flashed the ROM cm-9-20120624 Nightly and finally flashed GAPPS-ics).
I over clocked using the CM9 settings and everything worked perfectly for about a week, it was great. Then it just crashed while I was reading my email and began to bootloop. After reading for similar errors I rebooted to recovery and tried wiped the cache and dalvic cache, I wiped data and factory reset several times but nothing worked, always the same bootloop. I re flashed the same ROM and still nothing, after a while the boot screen would simply freeze instead of bootloop.
Then I connected to my PC, and did this to no avail. In fact it simply added to the problem by adding a yellow warning triangle while attempting to boot so I did the Oden thing again like the first time I rooted however I installed CMW version 5.5.0.4 instead thinking it might help but it hasn't.
One last point, when I attempt to wipe data/factory reset the tablet seems to freeze and attempt to reboot rather than say something like "success" as it would during a cache wipe. This maybe normal or it maybe the problem! who knows?
On that point, I would be very grateful if some of you could help get me to the point when my PC recognises the tablet so I can reflash a new ROM.
Thanks in advance,
Karl
I once got the same problem. The only thing that helped was to flash back the stock rom via Odin with the pit file. And don't forget to do a hard reset after flashing the rom. I'll just stick to the stock rom until the official update is getting released.

Questions go in the Q&A section
I think the best way is still to do factory reset, go back to the stock ROM first and try custom HC ROM until the official ICS is released.

Problem on booting s2 - not working since rebooted

hello,
have a problem with my galaxy s2:
just updated my s2 to the latest nightly of cyanogenmod "cm-10.2-20130921-NIGHTLY-i9100".
my old kernel was: dorimanx 9.34 + rootbox 4.2
after update it booted to cyanogenmod and worked for few minutes. then it showed some errors like "android.core.*" stopped working. after reboot it can´t even boot on recovery mode. download mode is still availabile, flashing to old kernel + firmware doesn´t help anything.
same probelm: no boot (stuck at bootscreen)
anyone has an idea what to do?
thanks in advice
Have you tried wiping data in recovery when it stuck in boot loop.
Also did you format system before you flashed cm 10.2
I got it to work fine on my S2. Played around on it for a few hours, got everything installed. Then bam, upon restart I get boot loop. Wiping cache/delvik didn't work. Various tutorials recommend repeating the install process and/or continuing to factory wipe until it works.
EDIT: I have repeated the process. Make sure that before you install CM/Gapps, you factory reset, wipe cache and delvik. Have reset the phone several times and it now works.

Help Please!

I was on JB rom and updated to the new beta test rom and the following happened.
I installed 2.0.0 Beta on phone not storage card. I then made a back up before I flashed the rom then wiped cache, dalvic cache and system three times. I then installed rom, it booted up to my unlock pattern screen.
Now here is the problem every time I put in my unlock pattern the phone goes black comes back on to the unlock pattern screen again? I must have put in my unlock pattern 10 times and 10 times it goes black and starts up in the unlock screen. This does not appear to be a reboot more like a small shut down? I pulled battery same thing, I reinstalled 2.0.0 Beta, same thing.
So I restored my backup and the phone now goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Pulled the battery twice and same thing happened will not go pass the boot up Samsung screen and tone.
So I then go to recovery wipe everything Cache, dalvic, data and system. Restore the back up again and the phone does the same thing goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Keep just doing this pattern?
I then tried to restore to stock using ODIN and installed N900PVPUBMI5_N900PSPTBMI5_N900PVPUBMI5_HOME.tar.m d5 from JB's file and I get a fail each time?
I then downloaded KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI3-1378528567.tar and it installed passed but now I am stuck in the Samsung screen?
Any help with clear directions to unroot and restore to stock rom with location of files to use I would be grateful for.
I guess I am just screwed?

This is a case of calm down too much flashing and restoring.
Do you know what firmware you are on?
I know people were having problems if they were on mj4 and tried to odin mi3 or mi5. You need to read some of the posts already posted about how to get out of trouble...lots of good suggestions if you read

Ok well its looks like I a without a phone of course tech support on the phone sends me to the store. Store tech support cant do anything. Since the phone is over 30 day old they will give me a refurbished phone. But that's a problem there are none so they tell me to call Samsung??
So now I a on the phone with sprint but looks like in the end I a pounding sand. Without a mj4.tar to push with odin I have a brick!!!

You cant go backwards from mj4 to older firmware... I dont believe...
So I did:
Since I installed KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI5-1379320673.tar I have a stock recovery so I ODIN'ed CF-Auto_root and then openrecovery-twrp. This gave me TWRP 2.6.3.7 and from there I wiped data, system cashe and dalvic cache. I then rerooted. TWRP told me I had no OS installed are you sure I said yes. TWRP then says your device does not appear to be rooted?? I then go back into TWRP and flash JB ver 1.0.0. It says install busybpx install kernel done updateing partition details... E: unable to mount '/usbstorage"
Successful so I then reboot system.
I get samsung screen and song that goes black and I get samsung note 3 screen and music. Screen goes black and it keeps on repeating itself?
JB came back and said
Ok. Lots of errors to your process there.. no need to do some of the steps.
So do this... if u have working twrp.
Factory reset in twrp.
Then install mj4 stock rom. And let it boot
I then did as he said
It appears that I have a working twrp so I down loaded SM-N900p_HLTESPR-MJ4-Odes-v2 from freeza. I went to twrp did a factory reset and flashed SM-N900p_HLTESPR-MJ4-Odes-v2
While flashing I did notice that it did not find MD5 file. In the end it says that it was a successful install. It rebooted did its thing, got to andriod upgrading and rebooted. Samsung screen song and got a process system isn't responding and it rebooted again doing the same thing?

Please help with this flusterc*ck of issues

Hi all,
New to this whole rooting and flashing thing. I'm not as good with computers that one can hold in their hand.
Anyways, I'll try to explain this stew of issues that I have
I'm running CW Recovery (6.0.2.3) in conjunction with SlimBean (dtt 4.2.2). One day, in a far away land, my phone prompted me to update Slim. That was all and dandy because I've flashed roms from zip files before. When I tried to do that, the process was aborted and I was given a slew of error numbers that made my brain hurt.
So, I tried to start fresh and clean, like the cilantro that chipotle puts in our burrito bowls. I tried a factory reset using the CW Recovery mode so I can re-root now that jellybean is 4.3. After I wiped the cache and data/factory reset, I rebooted the phone. My phone still boots into Slim and uses clockwork for recovery mode.
Essentially, how do I de-root my phone or factory reset it to the settings that I had from day 1?
UPDATE: I just tried flashing CW Recovery from 6.0.2.3 --> 6.0.4.7. After flashing it, I rebooted my phone into recovery. Now I'm getting a never-ending boot cycle. The samsung logo pops up along with the little blue text "recovery" at the top, then shuts off and repeats that every 3 seconds or so. Methinks I broke it
Thanks
