[Q] Problem installing Darkys rom

Hello,
I have tried installing cyanogenmod. This worked, but I wasn't happy with it and tried to go back to darky's rom, by wiping to factory defaults, then wiping all data; and afterwards update to darky's rom.
But somehow, my phone isn't starting anymore. I also cannot go into Recovery mode. The only thing that is starting is Downloading mode. How can I get a decent rom installed again? :S
Pls help! I don't know what to do anymore
Can anyone help me out here?
Flash a stock rom and start from scratch
Hey, I never got it to work with cyanogenmod on my galaxy s, but since you dont tell which phone u are using its a little difficult. Take a look here, there should be a guide.

[Q] Kernel Panic Help

Hi all, I have been reading for an hour or so, searching here and google but I am a bit stuck.
Basically I was trying to install one of the 4.03 roms and I hit kernel panic, no problem I thought, I would just flash back to stock and go from there!.
The situation I am in now is that I only have access to download mode, which is recognised by odin, but it doesn't matter what I flash, I get the gs2 boot screen (no triangle) and then a black screen.
Download mode shows that my binary is samsung official, but I just cant get any room to boot passed the initial boot screen.
Anyone have any ideas what I can do? My phone is a UK unbranded i9100, on t-mobile network.
Originally I tried flashing the 4.03 rom through recovery, I can no longer access recovery.
Did you try to flash stock rom or cf root kernel? I saw here one guy from germany had same problem and he solved. If you have a look on Siyah kernel thread, he posted there a posts about this 2 days ago, you can check, you'll find it. Good luck
Thanks! Reinstalled CF-root and then another rom, all good!

Problem with Voda Aus ICS 4.0.3 ROOT

Hi, I looked around but can't find a thread similar enough to mine to be helpful.
I have a Galaxy S2 i9100T with Vodafone Australia running 4.0.3 ICS
Earlier, I did a lot of research and absorbed a lot of knowledge, and attempted my first root.
Off to a bad start, as it is not working, and my phone will not boot.
My aim was to root, and root only. Not flash any custom firmware etc.
My kernal version was i9100TDULPB, so I downloaded a modded kernal version, which was CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5
from Chainfire's thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
and Flashed it on the phone using Odin, the process went well and Odin gave me a 'success'.
However, the phone started up and showed the typical Samsung Galaxy SII boot page, with the yellow triangle down bottom, but then just turned off. I tried booting again, same thing. Vice verca, I could not get the phone to boot past that page.
I can get into Download mode and CWM recovery, I tried booting from CWM recovery to no luck.
So I downloaded another similar kernal from Chainfire, this time it was called > CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LPB-v5.2-CWM5-PROPER
Which still gave me the same problem. And that is the kernal which is currently on the phone.
And that brings you up to scratch, I'm unsure of what to do now and don't want to risk screwing up my phone any further.
Please explain (Noob friendly ) On what I can do to fix this, I am still interested in having the phone rooted, is there a different kernal you can reccomend I flash? Or a quick fix from CWM recovery? I am new to this, and any advice is helpful.
Thankyou in advance
I think Cf-root is intended only for i9100, not i9100T.
Anyway, try this.

If you want just root then flash back your stock ROM and use method 1 from guide in my signature.

Help needed CWM

Hi there,
I need some help with my phone hoping to finds some help here..
recently my cousin tried updating my Samsung SII GT-I9100G Phone and now my phone is stuck in this CWM Recovery windows..
Can anyone help me here, I've been searching crazy all day long and tried various cyanogenmod versions but none did the trick.
I know the phone is rooted right and all.. because he did an update once successfully and it bootet the Android but he told me it was the wrong version so he tried it with another version and then suddenly the phone wouldn't boot right anymore.. so now it boots the CWM Recovery whole the time.
So if anyone please can help me or if anyone knows how i can restore the phone to the original Androir OS please tell me, getting desperate here -_-
Thanks!

Hi Boki thanks for the reply,
unfortunatly that won't work, because when I try to connect my phone on my PC it connects and disconnects repeatedly -_-
but maybe this might be of some information, after installing cm10 the CMW Recovery version is 6.0.1.1 but when I install cm9-RC1 it becomes version 5.5.0.4 and it changes from layout..
In the CMW Recovery menu you can make a Backup/Image of your phone.
Is it by any chance possible that I can download a Backup for the GT-I9100G from somewhere?? or is that only for recovering pictures and music and other unrelated things to the OS??
Go to mount and storage...format system and data...then try to flash the ROM made for your phone..
If unsuccessful...download stock ROM..flash using Odin..
Thnx guys I solved the problem

need help as after rooting my phone got stucked

Hello guys.
Happy holidays! I need your help badly as my samsung s3 19300i is stucked. After rooting my phone successfully. I tried to flash a custom ROM (EOL)5.1.1
I followed the instructions properly and then when the phones restarts. It ended up getting stucked on the title screen.
It never loads even I waited for a couple of minutes.
I tried to flash again my TWRP using Odin but still my phone doesnt go to recovery mode. It always go to the download mode and says "could not do normal boot"
I've been trying to fix this for the last 6 hours now and I feel desperate as I have posted and send help with you guys.
I would really appreciate your help guys.
Cheers!
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
I think you tried to Flash my ROM, because it's particular EOL.
You need to flash stock and then start from new. If you need help to flash stock, please search in S3 General section. Then please start from new and install TWRP 2.8.7.3 Official.
Kind regards
Trafalgar Square
As stated, flash stock via odin and start over.
thanks
YEs. Mr. Trafalgal.
I tried to use your custom ROM but didnt work for me . MAybe i did it wrong. I will try to do what you said and will update to you.
Thank you very much
Someone needs to highlight the dangers of using modified recoveries..
If you are flashing a custom rom you MUST reset to factory then reroot and flash using only offical recoveries + cfautoroot.
Bootloops are common if you do not adhere!.
