Hello,
I was attempting to clear the data off of the i777 through the settings and now I am stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S2" screen bootlooping. I did not have a microSD card in the device and I believe that was my downfall.
I can enter download mode but nothing else. What is the recommended procedure for this?

The good news is that you can enter download mode. Without knowing anymore about what firmware you were using, or what you want to return to, I simply suggest using ODIN 1.8x to flash the stock ucmd8 jb 4.1.2 firmware.
firmware can be found in creepy's download repository, or directly from samsung.

...if you can enter download mode, then you can also enter recovery. if you are using an i777 (not i9100):
recovery mode: vol+ & vol- & power with usb cable UNPLUGGED
download mode: vol+ & vol- & power with usb cable PLUGGED IN
I can only get download mode, unable to enter recovery.
Also I found instructions on ODIN and I cannot get passed the step where the device needs to be recognized by USB, I tried other ports and no luck.
This is my first time with using Odin.
Previously installed rom was SHOstock v4.0

1) Whether you had an external sd card or not is irrelevant.
2) What exactly did you do to "clear the data?"
3) As Cyril said, you should be able to get into recovery. If you can, perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery and see if that allows the phone to boot.
Edit: Please answer 2, and explain what happens when you try to enter recovery.
I went settings - > clear user data and it went into bootloop after that.
As for trying to enter recovery, the screen goes blank and then goes back to the Samsung screen

@d0wnti.me, Did you install the latest Samsung mobile USB drivers on your PC?
@creepyncrawly , Is it possible to kill recovery but not the bootloader?

Yes I did, then rebooted the pc and nothing. Hopefully I can get it resolved by the end of this weekend. I appreciate your input, greatly.

There is no such option that I am aware of.
Do you mean "Settings > Back up and reset > Factory data reset" or "Settings > Storage > Format USB storage." Those are the only two options that would even come close to "clear user data" as far as I am aware.

Try holding down all three buttons continuously while the Galaxy SII screen appears, screen goes black, and Galaxy SII screen appears the second time, then release the buttons.

1. I wasn't really paying attention to the process, I think it was factory data reset.
2. Just tried that and nothing happened.

1) I'm not clear about the reasons for this fact, but performing a factory data reset from within settings while the system is booted sometimes causes issues. I'm also not sure if that is the cause of your issue, although there does seem to be a direct correlation. For future reference, you should always perform a reset by entering recovery and performing a "wipe data/factory reset"
2) Again, I'm not sure what the damage is, but I'm going to assume that it is a firmware issue and not a hardware issue. The first thing I would suspect is nand read/write corruption, which can be recovered through download mode.
So, since the phone will go into download mode, the first order of business is getting the computer to recognize it so that you can connect to Odin. Odin3 v1.85 is recommended. If you don't have it, download from XDA-Developers. Open Odin on the desktop and then put the phone into download mode. The sequence is important, as Odin must be open first. Hold down both volume buttons but not the power button, and then plug the USB cable into the phone. In Odin you will see "Added" in the comments area.
Once you are able to get Odin to recognize the phone, I will post how to recover from nand r/w corruption. So try the above and let me know your results and we'll go from there.
Full instructions on how to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware, if you need it:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
Update: I was unable to get anything done with the device, so I sold it on eBay as-is.

About a month ago I upgraded to Ice cream sandwich (LP7) and then rooted my S2. All worked fine for 3 or 4 days and then suddenly it crashed for no reason. I suspect, but am not sure, that it did an automatic update. On rebooting it just stops at the Samsung S2 screen with a yellow triangle.
For the last few weeks i have been trying to find a fix, but am at my wits end now.
I have gone through the different solutions on your site but to no avail also where mine seems to be different is that I can get into boot mode and odin always says its successful. I have tried different pc and usb cable too just in case that was an issue
I can not get into Volume up mode, but i can get into boot mode with volume down. I have tried re loading a few different rom's and Odin says that the transfer was successful each time, however it is still stuck at the same place on reboot.
Tried reloading kernel and re partitioning, and again Odin said it went OK, but still stuck on start screen.
Tried using a jig and turned phone on, but it the phone just went to the start screen again.
If i could just get into reset mode, i could clear the memory, but this is not working either.
If anyone could help i would be very so grateful.
Thanks

You need to flash a ROM that will wipe your data at once.
Is your phone GT I9100 or GT I9100G?

That is a special .tar edition. You simply flash it just like a single file firmware (as PDA).

Try this I did and it worked to get mine booting after a bad update.
I messed around with it using several methods of getting it to boot into download mode until I finally got it to do it. I think I left it plugged into the USB, powered it down until I saw the charging screen, then I proceeded to play with the different ways to hold the buttons to get it to download mode. If you are persistent enough and read a little on booting methods to get bricked phone into download mode you will succed if not then your not for the world of trial and error... the main thing is do the first steps I said before until it works
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
or try
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
any how try try try until it works
Once in download mode
Get your files together for your phone, and use Odin 1.85.
Plug into Odin and make sure it shows yellow and its added!
1. Now if your files have like 3 files and the exact .pit file for your phone if available.
I found mine here (Find yous stock firmware for your phone)
CLICK HERE
2. Click the PIT button and browse to your exact .pit file for your phone *It should now have added a check in the re-partition box under the options area of the Odin window. If not CHECK IT!
***If you don't have your .pit don't worry about this unless you suspect, or have a bad partition
3. If you have just 1 file just click the PDA button and load the file. If you have 3 then you will load the PDA file in PDA, the Modem file into PHONE, and the CSC file into CSC, there are way too many phones to link all the files so get you stuff together!
4. Now hit start.
5. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone to shut it down.
6. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
7. As soon as the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever let go of all buttons and using the Vol Up down Choose the Clear Cache option and go through and make sure you factory reset it if you can just for good measure.
8. Reboot
9. Now when the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever take out battery again to power off
10. Now put it back in and start it in Download mode by pressing Vol Down, Home at the same time then the Power button.
11. Once in download mode Hook up to Odin again and flash it with a root kernel for your phone. Do not ask me just find it. I did it took time but I got all the files together over several days of reading and collecting the correct ones.
12. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone to shut it down.
13. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
14. In most roots you will now have a advanced or mounting options and more options to use.
15. I cleared the Cache again, Cleared the Davilik Cache, Went into a option and actually mounted the cache formatted the Cache.
16. Use the option now to restart the phone...
And mine started up installed the apps and I am up and running, nice and smooth and no issues so far
I hope this helps out someone whos just about to go off the deep end, as I was there and patience and trial and error came up with this step by step way to recover mine. Thank me by hitting the little thumbs up THANKS button below this post.
And if your so happy your phone is up show your appreciation by buying me a Pepsi

Hi guys,
I'm trying to help out a friend here so forgive me if I get some basics wrong
His daughter has a Galaxy Player (the smaller one, probably 3" or 3.5" screen size, I don't know the model number though) and she's forgotten the pattern lock the device. Wifi was switched off at the time so she can't log into her google account. Is there a way to switch the wifi on while locked out?
The next obvious step was to factory reset it, but power+vol up+home takes you to download mode, and the same combination with vol down doesn't do anything except boot up. Power and vol up or vol down also didn't take me into recovery. I tried every combination of could think of to no avail - any ideas what I was doing wrong?
It's not rooted and stock in every way, so no hopes of adb reboot recovery or anything like that. I'm guessing the last step would be to flash an image through Odin but that doesn't sort the more fundamental problem of not being able to get into the recovery!
Any ideas to unlocking the device or even at this point factory resetting it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Have you tried power+home alone? Maybe this would work.

Hi, I want to do that. Where can I get the kernel with CMW? I've tried some but they haven't worked. Could you help me please?
And how can I enter in CWM once installed?
Hey guys, I really need help with my situation. I've been looking all over the forums for 2days straight trying to find solutions to my problem. I have a galaxy s2 i777 and I had the sho-stock3 rom. Then I decided that I wanted to back up my rom, so I used rom manager to do it. that's when the problem started. when the phone tried restarting it was stuck where it says "galaxy s2" with the yellow triangle. I put it into download mode and tried to flash siyah kernel..it worked..but when I tried to reboot my phones says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again. of course kies wont let the phone connect. and yes all the drives are installed for my phone. now i'm just stuck trying to flash stock firmwares for the phone and the stock rom but it always fails in odin. please help me!!!!!

Hello

Can you put the phone into download mode? I would assume the answer is yes if you still get the "connect to kies" message. Following are detailed instructions for getting into download mode.
Download Mode:
There are several ways to put the phone into download mode. You should try all of them that you can before you give up.
Recovery mode:
With the phone off (and not connected to the computer), and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr continuously until the initial boot screen appears the second time.
Download mode:
1. With the phone off and connected to the computer via USB cable, and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr.
2. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- and vol+ (but not pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
3. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- (but not vol+ or pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
4. Attempt each of the above three options with the battery removed from the phone. The computer will supply the power to the phone.
5. Use Android Debug Bridge (adb) which will only work if USB debugging has been already turned on in Developer Options, since you can't boot into the system to turn it on. With the battery installed and the phone connected to the pc via USB cable, use the command "adb reboot download".
6. Use a USB jig. With the battery installed insert the USB jig into the USB connector of the phone. Some have reported that this method works when no other method would work.
If the phone will go into download mode, you will need to use Odin desktop to flash the stock firmware. You should use the latest stock firmware. Go to the Download Repository and download Odin3 v1.85 from the link near the top of the page, and also download the latest stock firmware, "I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean)" from near the bottom of the page. It's the next to last item. Download both to your Windows pc, and then follow the detailed instructions below to flash it onto your phone.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
The phone should boot up normally. If it does not, enter recovery (see instructions in the download mode section) and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
So I flashed the new Illusion Rom, the one that is 4.3. I know it isn't stable but I didn't know this would happen. So I installed it and customized it the way I wanted. I have an extra battery so I took out my current battery and put in the other one. When trying to boot, it stays on the SAMSUNG boot logo and won't go past it. I tried going into CWM recovery and wipe data/cache but that didn't help. I also tried to switch to different rom but it says can't mount any of my memory things. When I go to mount it, it says Error Mounting SD or Error mounting system and stuff. I dont know how to fix this so PLEASE help! Thanks!
You might have to Odin back to stock. Do you know what I mean? If not, don't hesitate to ask.

Get resources from the Download Repository. Link for Odin3 v1.85 at the very top of the page. Use the 4.1.2 stock UCMD8 at the very bottom of the page for your stock.
Here are the directions for using Odin. This was written specifically to instruct someone who is having issues, so it is very detailed.

Do that. I have had this happen to me before, and wiping data and caches did the trick. Hopefully it works out.
This is stock not rooted phone. A couple of days ago I turned it off and turned it back on but it keeps getting to the galaxy SII black logo screen and reboots. Its an endless cycle. It never gets past that. I have spent the last two days looking for solutions online. One suggested solution that made sense was a stuck power button, but that wasn't it for me. I took the phone apart cleaned the button, its not stuck. Problem is still there. My main concern is the data on the phone storage. I did not back it up. I can't access it via usb since it doesnt fully boot up. What could be the issue? Thanks for the help.
...stock, not rooted. This means that we definitely don't have adb access.
when you say "data on the phone storage" do you mean photos and media? Those items are stored on a separate partition and are more easily salvageable.
App data will be a tougher project.

yes photos and media, call recordings, txt message history, phone book. I didn't backup any of it. Is it possible for me to wipe and replace the operating system without affecting the data? Am noobish in this area

You will lose anything in the data partition, which includes text messages and your phone book. You will not lose pictures or media or recording that are saved to the internal sdcard (USB memory). I know your photos are safe, but I'm not sure about any other media or call recordings. It all depends on whether they are stored on the internal sdcard or in the data partition.
I don't know of any way to save anything in the data partition at this point, unless the phone miraculously boots into the current system.
You should may be able to recover the phone by reinstalling the stock firmware. Maybe not if there was some type of hardware issue. The best way to find out is to try to reinstall and see what happens.

Thanks. How can i install stock firmware? Kies is not detecting the phone connection since it doesn't boot all the way. I can get in to ODIN mode and the install from sd card menu. Where can I download the stock firmware and how can I install it?

Install the stock firmware using Odin3 v1.85 (preferred). Install the latest stock firmware, I777UCMD8, which you can get from the download repository. It's the next to bottom item. If you need to download Odin, there is a link near the top of the page.

After flashing the stock firmware, assuming all goes well and you get a pass, your phone still may not boot. In that case, turn the phone off, boot into stock recovery by holding all three buttons of pwr vol+ and vol-. Once in stock recovery, perform a wipe data/factory reset.

Wait I am confused...the phone has booted up and everything is okay. it even remembered my window unlock passcode. The only thing different is that the operating system was upgraded. Are you saying it might not boot up if I turn it off and turn it on again?
No. I was suggesting that the phone might not boot initially after flashing the stock rom. In that case it would be necessary to wipe in order to get it to boot the first time. On re-reading your post #7 I see that the phone was already booted at the time I wrote that, and that what I said was irrelevant.
