Hi al, I don't what I done but my s2i9100 is stuck at Cwm recovery. How can I get it to boot up etc? I tried wiping cache, factory reset etc and still can't get it to boot past CWM recovery. If I download your neatrom i9100XWMS3 v6.2.zip an put in on a sd card and into my s2 and then install from sd card on CWM recovery will it boot up then? Thanks
Did you use Rom Manager ?
Id suggest looking at 'how to flash stock roms' thread stickied at the top of this section

Attempting to install a new ROM, so wiped all data, did a restore to factory settings and wiped Dalvik Cache. Realised new ROM wasn't on memory card, so tried to boot up, and it just keeps showing the (stock) boot animation.
Can access recovery (CWM 5.0.2.6), so what is the best way to get my phone back up and running?
flash new rom using cwm.
or, if u could enter to download mode. flash stock using odin
Thanks, managed to get a ROM and installed it, and is working!
try to read Q&A thread for future reference.
helps alot. really.. no.. seriously..
I have a strange problem:
I enter in cwm recovery flash a rom and after reboot stucking on boot logo.
Back to recovery restore whatever cm7, cm9, miui etc and everything is ok. Boot and enjoy.
I try again to flash after wiping etc but again stuck on boot screen logo.
Any ideas?
Some of those roms have instructions flash twice .
Are you wiping everything from sd card ??

Apologies this is my first post and am asking for help but this is driving me crazy now!
I don't seem to be able to flash ANY ROM zip files through CWM. When I try to install a Rom it loads for about 20seconds, says "finding update zip" "installing update zip" then "zip installed " then when it reboots it is stuck in a loop on the Samsung logo start up screen (one with the yellow triangle to say it is rooted).
Only thing I can do to get it working is to flash a ROM (new stock ICS one) through Odin, then root and restore from my backup - the only backup that will work is my backup of the ICS ROM none of my other backups work CM7 / CM9 if I try and restore them I just get in to the same loop.
I have tried this loads of times now - factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, format system partition. I have tried installing ROM zip files twice etc etc.
This went wrong when I flashed the new stock ICS ROM in odin then tried to do a restore to CM7 not sure what I have managed to do to get it like this.
Anyone any ideas of what I can do to get it so I can install ROM's via CWM again so I can get back to CM7 or CM9?
Any help much appreciated - thanks.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have tried flashing a new kernel a few times now but still get the same thing when I try and flash a new ROM in CWM, the install takes about 20 seconds then the phone is stuck in a loop at the first boot screen.
Any more ideas on what I can do?
:edit:
aha fixed this now, I followed this excellent guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 on Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII had to do the bootloader to get it to work.
Hi!
Need a help!
Recently I've tried to root my tab 10.1 p7500. But I failed. Then I've reinstalled my device.
Now, when I try to access the recovery, I get something different.
I no more have the 'update from your SD card.
But I have : update from external storage and update from cache.
Please help!
Here is some pic.
This is the factory recovery.
To root you'll need to flash a custom recovery.
Follow anyone of the numerous tutorials available and try again
i am at the same area. was just handed this device and cannot unlock bootloader. is there any updated ways to unlock the bootloader?
Because this is the factory recovery, that's why,
Go to droidbasement.com and download the cwm-based recovery, flash this via odin's pda slot, i think pershoot explained it on the site how you should flash it, BUT READ BEFORE YOU FLASH THINGS ON YOUR TAB!
Once you have the cwm based recovery installed, move the rom you want to install to your device and boot again in recovery,now you should be able to flash ROM'S via this custom recovery
If you have more questions feel free to ask
Edit: before you flash another rom, data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cashe via cwm recovery first
factory recovery.
