Hi guys! I really really need help for this one! :crying:
I rooted my S2 which is running on android 4.1.2... I used odin and im using the Jeboo kernel..
I got the CWM recovery installed too...
I rooted it for the reason to unlock my sim.. which it worked...
It was working fine! :cyclops:
then, heres what happened
There was an update for the binary super su... I pressed okay...
It rebooted and sent me to the boot screen and it was stuck...
I took out the battery and put it back in but it didnt start...
I tried to open recovery mode (Power + Home + volume up) but it didnt work... Only the download (Power + Home + volume down) works...
I really need to use my phone for important purposes and i would really need your help!!!
Im a newbie in rooting so i am blur and i am panicking like mad!
Please Help!! Thx :crying: :crying: :crying:
ps: I think i should install the stock rom...
in download mode, try flashing the rooted kernel again. see what happens

I did but it doesnt work... Odin says pass but phone still cant start... I'm downloading the stock rom now...
Here is what i think i should do... Should i do this? :crying:
I will flash the stock 4.1.2 rom using Odin..
Then i will do a factory reset...
Get everything to work normally, then i will root it using Odin and install the Jeboo kernel like what i did...
Yes or No?

no harm in trying again. just keep the stock rom within reach, you never know you might need it again.
also you might want to download the kernel again, just in case there was something wrong with the first download. check the file's md5 if its available.
if it happens again you might want to try another kernel. maybe you're rom/phone don't like Jeboo

I doubt the problem is because of the kernel... it was because i installed some new binary update for Super SU... It rebooted my phone and bam... Bricked...

your phone is not bricked. As long as you can go into download mode you'll be fine.

your case is described simply as "being stuck on boot". being bricked is a different matter.
yes it happens all the time, try to search the forum for "stuck on boot" just to get an idea of how often this happens.
just flash the stock, flash the rooted kernel, and this time, try one of the apps on play store that have the option to update the Su binary. maybe the update mechanism you tried is old or something, i don't know why this happened to you.

i don't know. but in most cases we (users) don't need to know this technical stuff. just try to find a way around it. flash again, flash another kernel if it happens again, try another way to update the su binary... etc.

Just recover firmware by ODIN, then flash right recovery and download this zip: http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip and you are done. You can also try to flash this zip immediately, maybe it'll work!

Try flashing N.E.A.K. or another kernel tar package in ODIN while you have your phone in download mode.
That should fix your CWM recovery.

ok step by step, i had checkrom on my phone and flashed the new criskelo rom on my phone 4.0.3 LPQ for testing it, and flashed it with cf root 5.4
but after testing i wanted to get back to checkrom and now i have this problem that i can't flash any other kernel! only CF-Root is working , with any other kernel i em ending at the "Triangle"..phone is not booting any more
Really, ICS and GB is going crazy. Flash stock, kernel, flash cf root kernel, then flash newest kernel to fix sd card issue, etc... Since ICS was updated on sgs2 everywhere just problem, not booting, not installing, etc. Really, really big pain.
I dunno man what could solve you problem. I'm gonna search in all threads to find some useful information, if I will, I will post here, should be somewhere answer. LOL, best of luck.

do you wipe cache and dalvik before you flash a different kernel? and maybe format system when you go into recovery might help...and next time make backups
do not worry i am kinda having my own little problem now but i am getting there hehe

I want to flash Resurrection Remix AOKP which includes siyah kernel, so if I just go ahead and flash the zip, it might give me a chance of fixing this?

Any more details?
Such as exact phone model (GT-I9100/T/M/...), firmware version (ROM/PDA/kernel), what rooting method have you used, etc.
If you can boot into download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power), then you can flash another kernel (such as CF-Root) with Odin to your phone.
Good luck !
GT-I9100 thats the only thing i know. i cant even open the phone only (Volume Down + Home + Power) is working i tried that but is not working. i used kernel method i tried almost ever thing but nothing works. im from asia

That happened to me. Make sure you do the volume down+ home+ power right to enter the download mode, then flash the CF or Siyah kernel with Odin v1.7 (not v1.85).
See if it boots from there. You may need to flash some firmware (PDA) with Odin once you see it boots.
Good luck
Thanks man its working now
help me please, frozen sgs2 after rooting

"Nothing happened" is not useful. Let me know the exact error and how is your phone working right now (booting, not booting...)
what Kernel did you flash?

Let's go slow.
You managed to flash something via ODIN? Or it failed?
Since you rooted it (same as first guy), I guess it flashed so Odin detects the phone and is able to flash, right?
Explain the exact problem. What are you trying to flash?
Try downloading Siyah kernel for Odin, or Dream kernel for Odin to flash it and make it boot. If not, download an official firmware and try.
Anyway, reply the 2 bold questions.

If you have a i9100 (not a i9100G or whatever), flash this http://buildenv.dream-irc.com/android/?nav=display&file=63 via Odin and boot.

May I ask what did you do to root before it froze?
It's weird, but at least it flashes, so you still can flash an stock firmware to get back your phone.
Maybe this one (4.0.3 so you stay away from emmc harrd-brick bug and don't blame me in case it bricked) http://www.hotfile.com/dl/161662205/363dea0/I9100UHLPS_I9100AROLP4_ARO.zip.html
Good luck
what else can i do?
By the way, now that you have Dream kernel, try booting in recovery (turn it off, then volume up + home + power hold until it gets on, then release power until you get to recovery)
HELP! After rooting, I can't access my phone
I rooted my samsung s2 i1900g and followed the steps accordingly, I tried to install the jellybean rom, I thought I had succeeded cause it said so. But when it automatically rebooted after the installation, I can't access my menu anymore, it just freezes on the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the yellow triangle with the exclamation point inside it :crying: Please help me.. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you. God bless.

You didn't mess up with a i9100 ROM instead of i9100G ROM or kernel for rooting, did you?
When did it freeze. After rooting (you made sure it booted afterwards?) or after Jelly Bean installation?
Hello, guys, well im new here, and first time ive tried to root android, i was using a simple guide, downloaded rom file and odin, then ive installed the rom, everything went well, the phone rebooted and it just "sings" its on song and no visual, what to do? ive tried to install different rom, same stuff..
try a full wipe through recovery.
double time volume down+home+power?
volume uo+home+power

Try reflashing the original rom through ODIN first, probably best..
which should i download if im from lithuania?
try http://www.hotfile.com/dl/177306141/248b29e/I9300XXDLJ4_I9300OXADLJ4_BTU.zip.html
its unbranded and the latest uk one but should have your language.
thanks, hope that will work (no more rooting for me ) but will the region codes will be alright?
Yes, you can check after you've started the phone - use CSC Selector from the Play Store.
alright, well ill let u know how im doing when the download completes...
I've had the same thing happen to me too, although my phone won't switch on , it gets tot he galaxy s III white screen and then just stops on a black screen, makes a noise and thats it, just stays black with the blue charging light on.
I can connect it to the computer and it is rooted with CWM installed.
Would love to save the data if poss but i'm guessing that i may have to wipe it.
can you get into download mode?
if so, just flash the stock rom through ODIN as above.

Take a look at his posts, he is spamming that video everywhere, why bait people that need help?
Also remember it does state in the rules to try and be helpful and welcoming to newcomers, or don't post at all, I agree it's a hard balancing act to get right, but if you continually slam the door in people's faces it will put newcomers off, a degree of civility and tact is required

Hi all, hope somebody can help me.... I am currently stuck in a boot loop on my i9300....
How did this happen? well....
I'll start at the beginning... I received an ota update notification for the 4.3 update and without checking the internet to find out how good it was/wasn't, i stupidly downloaded and installed it! as we all now know, its terrible!
So.... in an effort to get out of the nightmare that is 4.3 i downloaded odin on my computer and rooted my phone with cf auto root, i then downloaded I9300OXAEMG4_BTU from sam mobile. I put my phone in download mode, hooked it up to the computer and flashed the said xaemg4 rom via odin. Everything seemed to go well and the phone rebooted.... but now my phone just continually shows the swirling samsung boot screen and never gets past it!
So, what went wrong and how do i sort this mess out?? Should i try to reflash the rom again with odin will i just make things worse?
Just for info, i do not have a custom recovery on my phone, i just used odin to flash.
Please help me out guys. :crying:
