I had my phone rooted and successfully got superuser access. From Rom manager, using cwm, i planned to backup my rom as i was intending to flash a custom rom in a few days. When i started the backup, my phone rebooted into cwm and the backup was finished in like 2-3 minutes.
It rebooted again but to the cwm and not android. I cleared cache and dalvik cache. Still rebooting into cwm. I tried restoring from sdcard using my backup of ROM. But it gives a md5 mismatch error. Please help me to figure this out! And access my android. I dont want a new rom. :crying:
Worked it out myself! Thanks!

Hello XDA,
I installed a custom ROM, HydrOxyG3NMOD V2 right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398628
I did as I always do, I went into recovery, backed up, wiped/factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, installed .zip from sd card and installed it.
Initial setup was good, then I went to the Market, download Titanium and restored everything.
Kept getting two errors: "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and the same for "calendar storage". I Forced Closed both to have them appear 2 seconds after every. single. time.
I can barely use the phone. So I decided I was going to wipe and restore my previous ROM, WanamLite v7.6.
Rebooted into Recovery, went into wipe/factory reset and I only get these 5 options: "NO" "NO" "NO" "NO" "NO". Same options for restoring without wiping.
So, basically, I'm effed up.
What can I do?
I really need your help..
Reflash your CWM root kernel .tar with Odin, or zImage with mobile Odin, CWM manager, hellcat k-tool, darky ROM app etc etc

You must have lost the CWM recovery. You need to reinstall a custom kernel with the CWM included.
Just like 2 previous post, just flash the custom kernel (I prefer CF-Root) using Desktop ODIN and you'll get your CWM back
u need to re-flashed all than install CWM
Hi guys.
I got a problem.
Got tired of lags, so i decided to wipe (data + dalvik) and reinstall Omega 27.1.
Now i can't boot up the phone - it just starts up CWM (6.0.1.2) when i reboot. Have tried to pull battery and when i insert it recovery just comes up.
What have i missed?
I have tried to install again, with and without wipes but still the same.
Can't restore nandroid either. Getting error on restoring /data, and just comes back to CWM again.
I'm kinda stuck.. ideas?
EDIT:
Just did a nandroid restore, error on restoring /data as always, but i rebooted and got into Android. I had to type in my google account information again, and all apps crashes all the time.
So I rebooted to recovery, and installed 27.1 (did a full wipe again), and now i can't get past recovery again.
Wtf?

If you can get into download mode, flash a stock rom samsung www.sammobile.com with ODIN, then get root permissions and cwm with ]cf-root 6.4

Yes, it seems to be the only thing to do..
But does anyone know what is causing this?
Can't be the boot.img, because restoring the boot (wipes+restores) doesn't work. And installing a new rom also adds a new boot.img.
I used cwm to make a nandroid backup, then for some dumb reason installed twrp to flash liquidsmooth. it installed fine but it keeps having launcher crashes and wont let me download from the play store.

am I correct that i can flash cwm through twrp, and i'll revert back to cwm? if it is, where do I get the actual file to flash? sorry to bump and be a pain but i've been searching non stop and can't find any help with this particular issue.
I installed a bunch of root apps that ended up putting my phone into a bootloop. I had superuser on it with Titanium backup, and I was able to undo the loop. I am now just stuck on the screen with the triangle after attempting to put a stock ROM on the phone. Its an Epic 4G touch, Im able to get into Recovery and Odin mode. Ive wiped all partitions, dalvik cache, etc. Still stuck. How can I get back into my phone?

Did you install twrp or cwm? Sounds like you wiped the system off and need to install a rom now thru recovery after you put it on your sd card. Dont wipe your sd card. Fallow the steps to install a rom.
i had also face same problem
the i had flashed costom rom and kernal
and also my old backup then also
there is no result
only the in bootloop and open only cwm recovery only
then i had flash custom recovery
it works and my files and app are safe.

Please quote my post and copy&paste whole text into some help thread for your phone, it is better idea as we are now getting off topic here. I'll try to help you there.
Format /system is done in recovery mode under "mount and storage" then after that you can restore your nandroid if it is done with the same recovery you use now. If you're on PhilZ 6, it usually can restore also CWM 6 backups.

What does format system do? And please help me load sentinel rom. That's the one I was gonna do.
Okay now for the question... I was running stock 4.1.2 with siyah kernel 6.0 b5. Then I decided to install philz kernel, but ended up in bootloop. Then I tried flashing dorimanx but still in bootloop. All the while I wiped everything before flashing.
Now im stuck as I can boot into recovery via any kernel but ultimately phone is stuck.
What to do?
And can anyone give me steps to install sentinel rom from this stage?

Mate, sorry for waiting, I was out of home. We will get your ROM back as soon as the phone boots again.
Don't worry, it doesn't sound serious so far. We have recovery and download mode (so topic name "nothing works" isn't really correct)
Formatting /system wipes all data from the system partition (so your system will be gone then) and it is important to do before installing new ROMs (essencially important for KitKat). It can't do any harm. As you have tried to install other kernels and didn't work we should check first what did you try to flash so far and it didn't boot? Is that what you wrote all what you have tried?
Now let me know please which recovery do you have now and is it the same version like when you have created your nandroid backup? If the recovery is the same, I would indeed try to restore nandroid backup right after wiping /system. Before you wipe the system just let me know: can you use ADB? If yes, check do you have ADB connection in the recovery mode?

Will it wipe the internal memory? Or the rom in the phone?
I have cwm based recovery v. 6.0.1.2. Yes I used it to make the backup.
Checking for adb.. How do I do it? .

Hi! Internal memory usually shouldn't get wiped by formatting /system, as it is "storage", not part of the system. I would give a try, wipe all: data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache (advanced) and format /system (mounts and storage). Then back to the main menu --> backup & restore --> restore from (internal or external memory where your nandroid is saved) and choose your backup. It should reboot normally then.

Thanks for helping, but I ended up downloading the stock rom and flashing it. Everything was normal. Then I installed cm10.2 so everything's great now. Thanks!

Cool, @AndroidReborn! Now you can install your old ROM again and restore nandroid. Keep that stock FW saved on your PC, so if your phone gets ever again soft-bricked, no problem to revive it again.
I am wondering how nobody here responsed your help prompt, we have in i9000 help threads always handfull people of experience and skills who are ready to help in need. And there are double amount of the SGS2 units sold around the world.... strange.

No idea. The people seem pretty 'busy'. Thanks for helping. Just one teeny tiny last question.. How do I install cm11 or any kitkat rom over this? Cwm is 6.0.4.5 so it's compatible...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you want to flash kitkat, the first thing you need to do is flash a kitkat compatible CWM (v6.0.4.7). If you try to flash KK with an 'older' CWM, you'll get 'installation aborted....error status 7' or something similar........
I'm currently running @infected_s KK build, and in the OP, you will find download links for the correct CWM, ROM and GApps files.......

6.0.4.5 is compatible? I think so ......
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I've always read....not.....
In any case, probably best not to risk it......
6.0.4.7 is DEFINITELY KK compatible.... and it'd take a couple of seconds to flash.........

Yes, mate, CWM 6.0.4.5 is capable of flashing KitKat.
It is usually always the same:
download your ROM zip and compatible Gapps
check in the phone (or PC) if the zips are corrupted through download (if they open after clicking them, they are fine)
move the zips to the folder you will flash it from (if you use PC to flash zips with ADB sideload, put them in the sdk/platform-tools folder)
make nandroid backup of your presently used ROM
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (advanced)
format /system (under mount and storage)
flash ROM.zip
flash Gapps
reboot
It is in general always good to read in the development thread of the ROM you attend to flash in the opening post which Gapps are recommended, or if there is some unusual order of flashing (sometimes, developers recommend reboot system after flashing ROM, and after that going to recovery and flash Gapps zip.
Some KitKat ROMs struggle with root access by using Superuser, so SuperSU should be flashed. If SuperSU app from Play Store gives errors by updating binary, you should uninstall SuperSU app then, find in the Chainfire's thread the compatible UPDATE-SuperSu.zip (version for your phone), flash its zip in the recovery, install SuperSU app, update binary (either "normal" or "through CWM/TWRP")
