Hi all,
I have a i9100P (with NFC) and it is stuck at the boot screen with the yellow triangle after I installed CWM using this method here:
galaxys2root (DOT) com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-rooted-galaxy-s2-i9100/
I can still enter Download mode and even the installed CWM, but i cannot boot into android, its just stuck on the screen
I have searched on the internet for a solution, and i cannot find a solution for this
would installing a new ROM via an SD card work? What shall i do?
HELP me PLS!!
thanks in advance!!!!

You will need a rooted Galaxy S2 to install all ROM/kernels.
NOTE: PLEASE ONLY INSTALL ROMS INTENDED FOR YOUR VERSION OF Galaxy S2! Otherwise you WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE and I will not be responsible! ALL ROMs on this site are ONLY for Verizon Galaxy S2!
First time to rooting and custom ROMs?
Please see our FAQ for your Galaxy S2 model FIRST!!!:

I wouldn't have tried this as your phone is i9100P, although I know the difference isn't that big.
Also, was your phone rooted? It had to have been rooted beforehand.

Hi, yes it was rooted prior to this, but i thought the only difference was that the P version had NFC - but now it seems I am stuck at the boot screen - any ideas? I would appreciate it a lot!
Flash your stock ROM and check it it works.

Hi, thanks for the reply - i will try flashing it after i finish downloading it. I presume I will have to do the usual wipe data, clear cache etc?

Yes, that should help. Btw what version you are downloading? 4.0.3 or 4.0.4?

I am downloading 4.0.3 from here: devsrom4android.blogspot (DOT)co (DOT) uk/2012/06/i9100pxxlph-o2-uk-samsung-galaxy-s2-gt.html
4.0.3 is what I previously had, and I believe that was the exact firmware I had on the phone (o2 NFC version)

That's your problem. You were on 4.0.3, which is ICS.
The instructions at galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-rooted-galaxy-s2-i9100/ don't specify, but they are for Gingerbread ONLY. The recovery kernel contained within that zip package is ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4, which is for Gingerbread.
This thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693) is the updated version of that recovery kernel for ICS.
You don't have to flash the full firmware, just flash a kernel that is meant to work with ICS and you should be fine.

Thanks for the advice - but i already have the stock ROM on an SD card so i think i will flash this. Problem is i cannot get CWM to read from the external SD card, so i cannot locate the zip and install it - help?
EDIT: if i install the kernel you gave me the link to ([KERNEL][ICS] ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4) , will it remove the root access i had?
EDIT 2: I have just flashed the kernel via odin, and it finally got past the screen with the yellow triangle! However, it is now stuck on the second screen which shows the 'S' logo with the words 'Samsung Galaxy SII' under it. Any more ideas?

Can you boot to recovery? If so, you can try a factory reset/wipe data. You'll lose all your data, (not counting pictures/media) but at this point, do you have anything to lose?

I just tried that, i can boot into the new cwm - have nothing to lose since i've only had it for about 3 days - however even after the wipe data, cache and dalvik it is still stuck on the 'S' screen now

Well, now I'd say you need to flash a full firmware. You said you downloaded I9100PXXLPH from here? Should work. But you'll no longer be rooted, and you won't have CWM recovery.
How did you get into this in the first place? You wanted CWM recovery?

I will be sure to try that, and basically earlier today i rooted it successfully, and then i had to get CWM onto it so i could start flashing new ROMs etc, and i tried installing CWM via that method that has now caused all of this
Never the less i will try your suggestion, so should i basically mount usb from CWM, then copy the firmware over to the phone, unmount, and then wipe, and then flash it finally?
EDIT: it wont allow me to mount USB in CWM
can i just flash the ZIP using odin in download mode, or does it have to be a .tar file?

No. That download is for a package that must be flashed while the phone is in download mode. That will require you to use a computer, and a flashing tool, such as Odin or Heimdall.

How would I go about flashing it in download mode, i really have no idea as I don't think you can flash zip files in odin, forgive me for all of the questions I really appreciate your help!
EDIT: I have unzipped the file and hooray lies in it the .tar.md5 file! I am in the middle of flashing this and will report back on results
Thanks a lot guys!!
THANKS GUYS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP, my SII is now working fully again! Cheers to all that helped, flashing the stock firmware worked with wipe/cache
Can't thank you enough!
Last thing if you don't mind, i want to root it again using this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582)
Now after that, how can i install CWM without getting into the mess i got into today? cheers!
Nope, I think that's for GB. For easy root use method 1 from 1st guide in my signature.

But it appears that this will not give you permanent CWM recovery. Which is what I think he wants.

Well I think Chainfire's CF-Root kernels (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399) are not for i9100P, so not sure if he can achieve permanent CWM recovery. Anyway if he don't plan to flash every hour new ROM he should be fine with latest temporary CWM 6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840223 although will ask Phil about compatibility.
Guys I am using a Samsung galaxy s2 gt i9100 running jelly bean 4.1.2 stock xwlst firmware and i rooted my phone using the one click root using exploits. I am all new to this rooting process and so i installed titanium backup and i was trying to remove playstore inorder to install modded play store and all of a sudden my device rebooted and now its stuck with the boot screen. So i tried to flash canogenmod 10.2 for the first time and used clock work mod recovery. I wiped my memory cleared the cache(couldnt find dalvik cache and the advanced menu either) and applied the latest cyanogen mod 20130827 from the cyanogenmod.org using my external sdcard. It displayed assert failed )==gti9100t status 7 error. I can assure you that i downloaded the international version of the cyanogenmod and not any other variant. Kindly help me with a solution or a link to the correct cyanogenmod rom package. Thank you. Looking forward to an earlier response
1) This isn't urgent. We get people 'crying wolf' on here all the time. Having a thread title like this is a good way to have people ignore your thread.
2) Also, using a title like [URGENT] HELP please !!! is another good way to have people ignore your thread. If you want help, you need to use a descriptive thread title
3) Unless you use sentencing/paragraphing, your OP is impossible to read. I certainly didn't read past the first line & many other people here won't unless you fix it.

I wonder if anyone can help.
I cannot load any 'custom' recovery onto this Neo Duo (I9300) phone. I have tried TWRP (2.7.1.0. 2.8.0.1, 2.8.1.0) and I have tried CWM 6.0.4.4_v1, CWM 6.0.4.6_v4, CWM6.0.4.6_CN as well as philz Touch 6.48.4-i9300 but none seems to stick.
The moment I boot into recovery (Vol-up and power) it boots directly into download mode. No matter what I try.
Any ideas?
I bought this phone a while back from Frys' but I cannot flash any custom rom, since no recovery want to stick.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello everyone. I have an I9300. CM11 on nighties. All was working fine but I had to give the phone away so I did a full wipe via twrp. Now the phone won't go past the Samsung logo. What can I do? I was thinking of putting a zip file with latest CM on it and flash it .. but how can I do it from recovery? Is there any easier way than adb sideload? I have never used it, not sure how to do it. In case thats the only way a guide would be appreciated! thank you everyone

Hey guys, i have an strage problem. So, for mistake i've flashed wrong TWRP file in odin. That TWRP was for Samsung Galaxy Ace 3. After that all, I went to the recovery mode and I was getting an "no command" error. Then when I wanted to flash the proper file, I was always getting stuck when the NAND Write Start shows up. Is there any way to solve that problem?
EDIT: I know about vol up method, but i just want to install TWRP soft, ADB isn't working for me)
Flash stock recovery then try flashing the right version again, see if that does the trick.
