[Q] Problem with TWRP in Galaxy S II - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please Help!!!
I'm a noob with Samsung Galaxy SII running Omnirom and TWRP.
I just had an update notification for omni and when i tried to flash it, phone rebooted and the "teamwin" start screen showed up.
THe problem is that it doesn't do anything after that and the same screen just flashes. Please help!!! i am freaking out!!

-first of all, you should state if there's any valuable data in it, depending on your answer, theres maybe member who experienced the same thing would reply
i'll take that theres no valuable data in it, so can you access recovery and download mode? if yes, try reflashing (clean if possible) to check whether your rom and twrp is messed up or somethin else
depending on you answer, my help might be limited

Thanks for taking your time. I dont understand what you meant by valuable data. if by that you mean the data can be wiped, then ok, i regularly back up my data and it can be wiped.
also i am trying to access recovery by pressing <volume up + home + power> key. but the same screen is showing with "teamwin" logo. it just starts to flicker.

valuable data = anything important that makes you cry / angry if lost
if youre okay with it, just flash back (clean install) your rom to confirm that whether your rom and twrp is messed up or not
to flash back to stock rom, just use odin and then flash your custom rom

I will do that.
Thank you.

Thankss Man..

Remember these forums give read access to anyone.

Let me first start off by saying thank you for the replies already guys. The thing that's weird is when i access clockwork recovery it only shows 4 options..
Reboot
Delete cache
Delete/Wipe system
Restore option
There's no flash from zip option here. Any help would be greatly appreciated again i thank you =)
I'm very familiar with flashing/rooting so that's a plus =)

Does not look like clockworkmod recovery to me, sorry your friend might have been shafted, contact the seller.
Didn't think so either because i have seen clockwork before this recovery actually says like Samsung BML or something like that. Any recommendations? I told him that before but he said he really wants this phone lol stubborn people. I was able to get into that Downloading Mode thing but i really want to be careful and ask you experts first. I'm very familiar with the G1/Mytouch threads =) So i don't want to just start touching stuff and than paper weight =P

Help Urgent - No applauncher (touchwiz) on start, black screen.

hi guys, I accidentally posted this in general, but here it is in SGS2 forum.. I really need someone's help.
I nearly had a heart attack think I bricked the phone.... long story short
I froze TouchWiz in Titanium Backup thinking it would just use vanilla, but it's just a black screen. I couldn't find a way to get to market/settings so I a flashed it on Odin to Ke4 again but it looks like it just flashes and doesn't wipe the settings.
Anyways - So im stuck at a black screen, I have the status bar up top, i can swipe it down but thats it.
How would I;
'format'/flash the firmware so its completely new ...? I just need an applauncher or a way to get to settings?
or How can I make my way to settings?
my preferred option is the format a clean whole new one
if anyone can help me because I got to get this sorted asap before work lol
Just need it to work.
Thank you so much anyone that can help.
There are probably better ways but you can try to install a home replacement via the web market. This should push it to your phone and after installing pressing home should give you the option to select another launcher.
Do you know any methods at all? I'm willing to try any, I just cant find anything that shows how to completely wipe and start new..
I downloaded Go Launch and chose to have it launch to my Phone but it didn't work from the phones end.. the phone has no wifi/3g connection.. it has the no connection icon so probably won't it wont push.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I would have never thought of that.
Looks like you may need the download recovery jig tool.

I'm a bit confused about the jig option
I would have thought I could have flashed/restored it to stock
I am able to actually load the phone, I can swipe down and enable usb debugging mode, I just literally have no way to get to market & settings if possible...
=S
Yeh sorry jigs are running short you dont kneed one if you can access download mode .
jje
Yeah, thats a relief.
What would my options, What can I do to get my phone working again..given the above..
Okay!
So I loaded Villains Rom 1.0 and everything works again, thank god.
My question now is, can I upgrade/flash now to KE4 with this one?

If you just flash the KE7 as PDA it should be no problem to upgrade....
cool, thanks mate,
I'm just lost for words now...
When I put on villain rom, was happy to backup all my msgs asap and etc to gmail which I did, that's the most important thing so i'm glad.
So then I wanted to defrost some apps I had frozen ... so I installed titanium again .. as soon as I did that the same problem came again, black screened. I reboot and it's now stuck at the 'S' loading animation.. it wont start into the applauncher... I actually reloaded the rom but still same problem.
- i can actually do a screen capture at the animation screen....so im guesing everything else is ok
I just want this to work one more time so I can do a factory settings wipe and hopefully all this sorted..
anyone able to help, i'm so sorry for asking so many times.

OK. What you need to do is...
1) Reboot into recovery image (volume UP, home, power) and wipe /data. You're gonna lose everything stored, but I'm sure we can get over that
2) See if it now boots (it should). If not, reboot into recovery again and wipe /data, then turn off
3) Put phone into bootloader, and get the ROM you want to ODIN. You can use VR1 if you want to just flash systemfs (safer). Flash it as PDA, then it should boot.
Failing that, you can recover it "my way". Flash Chainfire's insecured kernel (from the root thread), then get it to start booting. keep running "adb shell" (you do have adb set up?), and once it works run "rm -r /data", then type "reboot". That will wipe /data, and hopefully let it boot.
Don't panic too much btw, it shouldn't be too serious.

[Q] Force Close Loop. How can I fix this?

I haven't downloaded anything recently, I literally just picked up my phone after I woke up and I got a message saying "the application tasks provider has stopped working unexpectedly" and it gives me the option to force close. When I close it, a similar message pops up for email, messaging, social hub, tw launcher, facebook and it keeps going on and on without giving me a chance to use the phone. Do you guys know what I can do? I would be extremely grateful if you could help me out.

			
				
Bwahahahaa ;-) Gold.
Yes i've tried that. I've take the battery pack, memory card and sim card out, then replaced them but the loop keeps occuring. It's gotta be more of a software issue and that's why I need your help.
You haven't told us anything whatsoever about your setup/rom/kernel/etc. We're not mind readers
Try a factory reset in the first instance.
If you're running anything other than stock firmware, go back to stock firmware.
i recomendeed to change your rom..
i think that is a crush from your system, mate..
About 4 months ago I had exactly the same problem.
Is there Debugging-Mode enabled in you're phone?
Is you're phone rooted?
Try to take out only the SIM Card and then connect it to you're PC. Then turn the S2 on and try to backup all you're data.
If you're phone is rooted, try to boot up in CWM Recovery Mode and go to "advanced" and then "Fix Permissions". It shuold solve you're problem.
If you're phone isn't rooted, then you have to flash a stock or custom ROM.

Sorry about that man, but I have no idea what my setup/rom/kernel is, don't even know what most of that means. The thing is I can't even go to the settings on my phone to check because the popups won't allow me to.

I know about technology but not like this. I have no idea what debugging mode/rooted or cwm recovery is. Any chance of explaining it to me in really, REALLY easy terms?
Sorry about my lack of knowledge guys, but I wholeheartedly appreciate you taking the time out to give me a hand.
1. Try wiping all data (fixed when i had the problem)
1. U need a kernel with CWM recovery (recommend siyah kernel)
2. Install with odin look on these forums for odin dont remember link
3. go to recovery (vol up+home button+power) and wipe data/cache (wipes everything apps, passwords, etc)
4. Try now if works click the thanks button

No problem man
Okay...when you have root permissions on youre phone you can write in system files and do other administrative work.
You can root youre phone by flashing a rooted kernel. The kernel is something like the heart of youre Android OS. You have to know some facts about youre S2, to root it successfully.
You have to know which Kernel version is installed at the moment. This information you can find in Settings -> About Phone -> Kernel Version (or something like that...my S2 is in German ). But when youre phone is bricked or youre system is damaged, its really hard or impossible to find out the kernel version. I think you won't be able to root it successfully :-(
So the only one possibillity to rescue youre S2 is, to flash a new firmware.

[Q] Help! I think i bricked my S3!

Hey guys, basically, i'm new-ish to flashing, but i was able to do it following all instructions. Yesterday i installed an s5 theme from this site that caused my phone to have problems such as the wifi not working. I was reading that flashing a custom kernel might help, it didn't.
So i woke up, entered my TWRP custom recovery and stupidly factory wiped everything, now my phone wont get past the 'Samsung galaxy s III' screen, it just stays there. I have no idea what to do, i'm dumb enough not to make a recovery file before i started all this so i've ****ed up there.
If anyone can help me get my phone back i'll be extremely happy, i just want it working again! I have work in a few hours and really hope to fix it before then! Any help is appreciated.
Download a stock rom from sammobile.com and flash it the way you flashed TWRP.

It sounds like you might need to flash a ROM before it will boot. Your contacts, texts etc are gone if you wiped /data though.

Ah ok, it's good that it worked. I was just worried since you posted this on the i9300 forum and said you were flashing an i9305 ROM.

[Q] GT P7500: Is it bricked or something?

Okay here`s the situation.
My GT-P7500 a.k.a p4 is having a problem. Whenever I boot up, it will freeze at the boot animation, and power off if not charging and go to the charging screen if is plugged. I was using SlimBean when I had the problem, flashed AOKP and still the same. Next, when I get to recovery, wiping data takes a looooooooooooong time and never finished (Seriously 3 hours and nothing). Wiping cache`s fine. Tried using TWRP but then I`m stuck on the TWRP Boot screen. I reverted back to CWM but still the same. Is it bricked or something? Is there any solution? I`m hoping for an answer ASAP. Thank you...

had the same issue on my p4wifi...it is a corrupted file.
1) you can odin a rom..this will wipe the data completely
or
2) try to flash the last rom you were successfully on..then wipe the sdcardthis will wipe the data completelyand cache..dalvik. Then try to boot it up.
If second option doesnt work( because of the dirty flash ). Then i would either use odin or push a rom to the device and do a clean install.
Just had a brain storm..you could use twrp file manager to delete files you dont need. Might get lucky and its something you downloaded recently. ( wasnt a twrp recovery when this happened to me )

So you cant use twrp's internal file manager...or are you saying you did and that process didnt work. Just wondering..the odin should definitely work. Just sucks to loose all your files..
but as I said... Ive been there too..:silly:

I went around Google searching for p4 ROMs that are in ODIN format. Sadly, nothing found. Where did you get the ROM for your p4wifi?

Here's a Link to sammobile. Just scroll down and pjt in your device in the search box on the right and pich the right firmware. You will need to make a free account with them to download.

Just for future reference..when you install a stock rom, like those from sammobile. It is usually needed to wipe data factory reset to get it to boot.
Sorry i didnt get back to you sooner..work is crazy, Lol
Glad you have it up...if you need any other help. Just post in my Q&A thread..I try to check it often.
