Hello everyone...I was running Android HD v40 with philz touch 6.0.4.5. today, I decided to flash boeffla kernel and selected reboot to recovery from the 4 way reboot menu (Wanam Xposed)..the phone rebooted..but instead of the normal recovery menu..all i could see was a blank recovery page with the navigation keys at the bottom..it stayed for a second and rebooted itself, again to the same state. All i can access is the download mode..I tried flashing philz recovery again using odin..the process was a success..but it didnt change anything..what i am planning to do is, go home in the evening and flash a stock rom using odin and see if it makes any changed.
Have anybody had a similar experience? Should I try something else?

I have a similar issue... But without recovery menu.
Just boot loop with "No command". Odin does not see phone (drivers OK).

Rooted the phone, installed ROM Manger, installed CWM from RM, selected version for Samsung Galaxy 2 AT&T.
Backed up the ROM
Went back into CWM to do a manual check and now CWM does nothing. I can navigate through itand select tasks, but that just talkes me to a screen wth the tophat logo.
Remove battery and phone boots into CWM with the same problems.
This has just got to be in the FAQ.
ROM Manager is not compatible with the SII at this point.
If you can still get into download mode and/or recovery, you are fine.

It goes into recovery mode; I get the CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3 menu
I can navigate in the menu and select any choice.
Nothing happens.
You can install the CWM recory with odin.
Thank you so much for uploading this update
I am sure you didn't try this update before posting here..Q&A...
my phone is bricked while flashing your CWM 7 (2.3.7).
if someone wants to stand behind next to me then [ FLASH IT ]..
Otherwise IGNORE this thread I repeat IGNORE this thread..
Huuummm.. not good..
I finally got CWM to respond and it rebooted the phone properly. ROM Manger has been removed.
That was an exciting couple of hours...
Rom manager is.compatible but you need to use a compatible kernel. Clockwork kernel for an example

Okay I've rooted my phone using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701770. All in all it went well I got my phone fully rooted and everything works fine however when trying to get a full nandriod backup I found that I didn't get Clockworkmod recovery which should have happened. After trying the root method a few more times i noticed in the video @3:43 onwards it shows the cmw recovery symbol for a while in the video however on my sIII it just pops up for a few seconds and then disappears only to be replaced by Andy (the android guy) with a revolving diamond shaped mesh around his stomach. Now when I enter recovery mode the backup/restore option is not there instead I only get :reboot system now, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset wipe cache partition and apply update from cache. (Another note I do not see the ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 - v1.4 when in recovery mode at the top of the screen as I should instead I see android system recovery <3e>)
Any form of help would be greatly appreciated! Also if you need a video of what happens when I root I can try to upload a video or at least a photo
The original method works best .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
Otherwise ask in the method you used thread .
jje
Will it be safe enough to do so? like I'm rooted now so will anything happen if I try the original method?
No, using ODIN is always fine so long as you don't go ticking boxes you shouldn't.

anyone got an ideas?
What are you doing to get to recovery? Your not using rom manager are you?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
no I'm using the cwm manger app and tapping the recovery mode. However when I first open the app a pop up appears it says: This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer. It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled.
The .tar file I used was version 6.2
Go to the cwm thread, download the file and flash that in ODIN.

Tried that hasnt worked I think I found out what the problem I dont have any recovery on the cwm app on the top it says cwm manager v3.60 the it says current recovery: but there's nothing after the colon
Okay Fixed it!

hi, I have SGS-II I 9100. I was using root box 4 rom on my SGS-II with default kernel. All of a sudden day before yesterday the baseband and IMEI just vanished. Flashing the OEM rom seemed as solution. So I flashed the Android 4.1.2 India rom. It did flashed it successfully. The phone restarts and shows android logo and does something. When it restarts again it goes directly into recovery. I have tried with different versions but its still the same. Tried to flash Siyah kernel and Install custom rom. It still does that goes directly into CWM recovery screen. Can anyone help with this issue. I am clueless on how to fix it. Forgot to mention it does not reboot automatically. When clicked on reboot it shuts down. I then need to pull out the battery and get it back into it and then start the phone.

Flash stock firmware again via Odin when you phone booting after flashing press volume up+home +power button for 10sec it's give you stock recovery then select wipe data factory reset then reboot your Device it will successfully boot

Thank-you for your reply. I flashed Stock i9100 from Sam firmwares. Gave a try to India, UK and italy edition. It does not go to CWM but rather goes into android recovery wizard. The screen where you see red triangle with android died or something. Its been more than a day and still cant find how to fix it. After flashing the stock firmware when i reboot my phone I get to a screen with android and status bar right at the bottom of it. Probably installs boot loader or something it the second screen once you reboot your phone after flashing the stock firmware. The next time you reboot you should be getting to OS right? But it takes me to recovery instead? What does it expect me to do in the recovery screen? I really don't know. I can access only 2 modes Download and recovery.
Here's the thing..3e recovery is the samsung default recovery mode whereas CWM is a customized one.
You either flash it via Odin or you flash a custom kernel via odin to get it.
Anyway, as long as you are NOT on 4.0.4 you can factory reset and wipe cache via stock recovery (3e).
Again, what did you flash exactly?
Sent from...this is not even my S2
I flashed a 4.4.2 stock rom for my mega 6.3 and now it's stuck in the ''recovery booting'' screen with the samsung logo, i can access download mode easily. I've searched, and i think i have to do a factory reset, but i can't access recovery mode (vol up+ home+ power), i've tried everything :/ it just won't boot in recovery mode, so i don't know what to do now, i can successfully flash everything with odin and downlaod mode, but it just keeps on the recovery booting screen, please help!.
Did you try adb?

Yup, it doesn't recognize the device
Just out of curiosity, have you had the screen replaced on it? That's a common error that has occurred to a lot of people when they've gone back. It's in another thread if you have. Other than that, I have no idea, but it a factory reset is recommended after the install, I'm not sure if you can get the phone loaded to do it. Good luck!!

Nope, yeah, the phone just boots to the samsung logo and it's stuck there forever :/ i can go to download mode and flash roms, but can't access recovery mode, it just won't do it, i've tried every button combination, the far i've get, is the same samsung logo, but with blue letters on the top that say something like ''recovery booting...''
faced the same problem when updating 4.4.2 via odin.

Hello.
This is urgent. I need this phone to work as soon as possible
I'm new to the modding scene, and I have decided to install 5.1.1 Lollipop on my Samsung SII GT-i9100.
I tried to download this ROM off this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-cyanogenmod-12-t2955551
It says I need :"Kitkat Compatible Recovery". I suspect this was the problem as I had Jellybean 4.1.2, not any KitKat version but I was attempting to install Lollipop 5.1.1 (if any of this makes any sense at all).
This is the page that I found after googling "KitKat Compatible Recovery": http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/install-an...ible-cwm-recovery-galaxy-s2-i9100-how-1434170
The page says to flash "GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9.tar" onto my gt-i9100 using Odin, which is what I did.
When the flash was completed and I saw the "PASS" message in Odin, the page said the phone should reboot automatically. This did not happen. When I tried booting manually, I was shown "Samsung Gallaxy SII GT-I9100" with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark underneath. Then the boot sound played but the screen stayed black. After this the phone screen stayed black and did not boot.
I did some searching on how to remove said triangle, but in all the examples I have found the phone booted. Mine didn't.
All I'm asking is if someone knows how to fix my phone back to normal, or a redirect to a link where this issue is already addressed.
Thanks for your help.
P.S. Recovery and Download are accessible normally

When you boot into recovery which version do you have? If it is the 6.0.2.9 CWM, then flash the CWM 6.0.4.5 mentioned (from recovery) then reboot back into recovery(not system). You should now have CWM 6.0.4.5. Now from this recovery, do a full wipe(factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache(from advanced in menu) and format system. Then flash the rom and gapps(if you want them). Then reboot to system.
If you have the stock 3e recovery, you need to enable root access. Let us know if this is the case
I have CM v5.8.1.8, but I flashed 6.0.2.9.
That's weird
Don't worry about the triangle for now, just goto recovery flash a lollipop rom with gapps, after you are in the rom just use the triangle away app and remove it (I have done this loads of times) but be sure you have the correct KitKat recovery or this might not work.

Could you explain how to flash it? It's a .zip file not .tar.
If you mean that I should put the .zip in the root of my phone, I can't do that as I when I plug in my phone to my PC I can't access root. (I suspect this is because my phone is not booted and I can't get it to boot)

I know this much, but the problem is that I don't have a ROM on my phone, and I can't access root so I can't place it there. I see an option called "sideload" in the recovery menu, but I don't know what this means and how I could use it.
I have flashed the .tar file you attached. Now I can't access recovery mode.
Okay I've managed to enter recovery by removing the battery and going into download, pressing down-volume to boot and then entering recovery normally. Now what.
I can now enter recovery. What do i do now

GUYS I got it to work. I flashed the two files from the description of this video, and used cm-kernel-09-05-2015-TWRP-2.8.6.0 to flash both of these files. It took some firguring out, but I got there in the end. The ROM is Lollipop 5.1.1 with CyanogenMod version 12.1-20150504-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.
Thanks for all the help you guys supplied, I couldn't have done this without you.
Now enjoy lollipop
