guys my samsung sgs2 wont boot up stuck on the sII logo screen and shuts down but working on recovery mode and i also tried restoring my back up but still the same happens.
my s2 is rooted and running beanstalk 4.4.2
Recovery mode = factory reset. If that doesn't work, stock rom from Samfirmware, flash with Odin. Problems with Odin flash ? Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General has all the info you need to get a successful flash (you may need to do a factory reset as well after the Odin flash if you end up doing this). Once you've done that, re-root your phone & try restoring your nandroid, or reinstall custom rom/kernel & start from scratch.

already factory reset and tried flashing my custom rom again but still that happens.
can you give me the link where to download the stock rom? but i dont know my baseband version.
Samfirmware (Google it). You don't need to know whatever baseband you have (it's irrelevant anyway), download any stock rom for your carrier/country (not 4.0.4) given you'll be going back to a custom rom anyway.

'download any stock rom for your carrier/country (not 4.0.4) given you'll be going back to a custom rom anyway'.
Won't be repeating myself in this thread again. You should already know this stuff if you're modding your phone in any way.

Hi Guys,
I have a samsung s2 with some version 4.1.2(I don't remember).
I wanted to upgrade it to JB 4.2.1
I went to some links which mentioned that I should install CWM recovery before going for flashing of ROM.
However what mistake i did is I tried to load GT-I9100_ICS_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar on the phone using ODIN (which I think is an ICS version).
With this...problem is I am able to go to download mode, also I can go to CWM recovery mode with errors like unable to mount the sd card.
But the phone does not start.
It boots to the start-up screen and shows a yellow warning triangle below and shuts down.
I am not able to use the phone at all.
Need some help. Is there a way to go to stock firmware or to remove this CWM recovery to take it to whatever android stock firmware version it was.
Please help.
Download stock rom from Samfirmware, flash with Odin (How ? Thread stickied near top of Q&A has all the info you need). Clean slate.
Then flash custom kernel to root your phone & give you CWM. Flash custom rom/kernel of your choice.

Hi All
I have a rooted GT-9100 phone with Jelly bean official Samsung Rom installed.
Build No : JZ054K.I9100XWLST
Baseband Ver. : I9100DDLS9
In the last few days i was having problems with many apps, and phone is restarting automatically. so i decided to do factory reset, after that as always the starter mode wanted me to select the language, after asked to update Time and date which i did and then suddenly the screen went black.
It started to reboot and since then the phone is stuck at the Samsung Logo.
what now? any suggestions?
FYI: I have rooted device with Siyah Kernel 3.0.31.
Regards,
Sourabh J

same issue
hello, i know this is a 6 months old thread but this is the first time now i found someone with the same issue.
Firstly i played around with flashing shiyah with sort of worked but i never had root acces, but thats not the problem here.
I did a factory reset when phone was stable and everything broke. It would boot up untill the language select, screen dims a bit after 1 sec, and then it restarts. When shiyah kernel is on there it will just stay stuck on the samsung text after boot after that. When i flashed stock kernel etc it would boot up the same at first, crash on language select. and then show the samsung boot animation over and over (not the sound though thats only the first time). in CWM recovery of shiyah whiping cache reset and dalvik wont help..
i find it strange that it broke on the factory reset.
Did you manage to solve this ?
info
I9100XXMS1
I9100OXAMS1
I9100XXLS8
So flash a stock rom with Odin to get back to square one ? You've probably flashed a version of Siyah that's incompatible with what you're currently running (Android version-wise). Once you've done that, flash PhilZ to root your phone+CWM & go from there (if you want to persist with Siyah, read the thread thoroughly to ensure you're flashing the correct version for the Android version you're running).
If simply flashing stock doesn't fix the problem, do a factory reset after you flash the stock rom. If that doesn't work, find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, download the 3 part firmware linked to in the thread & flash that (this will wipe your phone).

thanks this will give me something to do, ill report back what worked
I tried to put custom recovery for i9100 via odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693
I wanted to flash unofficial CM11 to replace official 4.1.2
Flashed .tar.md5 now phone won't boot, but it can enter recovery and download mode. (Options ticked were Auto-reboot and F. Reset Time)
Then I downloaded stock firmware 4.1.2 and tried to flash. It stucks at NAND write start.
Then I tried to flash another kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
Same thing. In recovery I did wipe data/cache, same thing, display remains blank on power on.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
You need to get a successful Odin flash of stock to give you a 'clean slate' to start again (with flashing a custom rom/whatever) from. Find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread & try the stuff in it, you should be able to get it done with the suggestions in the thread.
Thanks, it was phone from friend and it scared me to death
I flashed earlier Gio and realized I can flash kernel in zip, so that phone is now running CM11, but this info might come in handy when he wants to get back to stock. Also, I'm getting this phone next week, so it's good to know workaround if I run into a problem.
Yep knowing how to recover is a must before you start flashing stuff. If you're getting an S2, download at least one stock rom for your carrier/country from Samfirmware & keep it on your PC w/Odin in case you ever need it.
^+1.......and also make sure you have a working (official Samsung) USB lead......(or even more than one)
sent from either my Alliance powered S2 or my ArcoCM powered W via XDA Developers App
And make sure you have backed up your efs folder too. Something like ktool is good for this. Get it from playstore. And a good working nandroid is a must.
My brother just gave me a S II for mine to keep but it keeps stuck in the recovery logo for like 10 sec and then it shuts down i downloaded Kies and tried the recovery option but that won't work somebody suggestions?
Download stock rom for country/carrier (not Android 4.0.4) from Samfirmware, boot into download mode & flash following instructions in stickied thread near top of Q&A titled 'Flash stock firmware'.
Problems with flashing ? Find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General. Simply flashing stock should fix it, but it it still bootloops after flash, boot into recovery & do a factory reset.
Still bootlooping ? Download the 3 part firmware linked in Hopper's thread & flash that with Odin (this will wipe your phone).
If you try all that & still bootloops, post here again.

O okay i will try it out
It won't work because the phone keeps going off i will try charge the phone the whole night
The device will stay on now i will try the instructions now
I am trying to recover an Samsung Galaxy S II, when I got it was in a stuck in a bootloop, I tried to flash a stock ROM on it, it was still stuck in a bootloop. I flashed a new kernel on it to see if it was doing something.
It did not work and now I flashed the CM kernel on it but I can't access the recovery mode anymore...
I would like to know what should I try to do...
Thank you in advance!
Have you done a factory reset yet ? If not, do one.
If that doesn't work, find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, download the 3 part firmware linked in that thread, flash with Odin/in DL mode (any problems with Odin flash; refer to that thread & go through troubleshooting steps methodically until you get a successful flash) - this will wipe your phone, hopefully removing whatever remnants of what you had on the phone previously that's causing your bootloop.
From there, re-root your phone & restore nandroid or reinstall custom rom/kernel.

I installed the 3 part firmware, and it is still bootlooping... And still can't access recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power)
I can only access the ODIN mode
