Hello guys,
I needed to install stock rom on my Galaxy S2 phone. Everything went fine. I installed it via Odin, but just after I did that, phone keeps restarting when it shows Samsung symbol on screen. I tried to put it on recovery mode and do factory reset but it does not help. What should I do???
Thank you very much for help!

Are you sure you installed it correctly? Are you using the correct firmware? And what I mean was install via odin again and repeat the wipe process and see what happens!

I installed it 100% correctly man. But I forgot to mention, that somehow I messed up my memory before that. Before Installing it, phone was completely usable, but i couldn't open internal sd card on file manager. When i was trying to do something on recovery mode with INTERNAL sd card it was saying "could not mount /emmc/..." something like this. external sd card worked fine. I messed it up, because i didn't knew that s2 needs to install micro gapps package, so i tried to extend those 2gb. I used some files to that, but i forgot what i used to...

Oh, you mean you extended the system partition to 2gb right? You used the pit files right? Stock rom requires the system partition to be reverted to normal size (about 500mb or .5gb). So flash the .5gb system pit in odin and see how it goes! Stock rom doesn't need gapps, should be included already.

I used ODIN to go back to stock but directories that were created before by various apps are all still there. My question is:
I want for my phone to go back to exactly the way it was when I first got it. I have the ODIN pit and tar files for stock eclair. But is there an option in ODIN to select to make sure that everything is wiped before installing stock??? I see all these directories (like sipdroid and some music directories that were created by winamp, and I'm sure others as well) even after I ODIN back to stock so clearly ODIN does not wipe the memory before installing the tar file. Is there a way to make sure the memory gets wiped before installing the stock tar file???
Thanks in advance guys.

good stuff... thanks
earlier i was getting ready to try out a new ROM on my TB and was in clockwork wiping everything & got to the part where you format /system and i accidentally told it to format /sdcard
at that point everything was wiped(including sd card) so i turned off the phone as i was not at home at the time.
is clockwork still in tact on the phone itself and can i just copy a ROM to the sd card & pop it back in the phone and go from there or is there something more i have to do?
thanks
Yup. You are fine. Pop a ROM on there and flash.

He wiped the phone, so there's currently no ROM on it.... He also wiped the SD card, so if he by chance had a ROM copied to it that he could flash, well, he doesn't anymore....

When you wipe to factory data reset, wipe dalvik, and cache the OS that was on your phone is still there. I do all of that before I install a new ROM also but it doesnt delete all the data from your phone. I just did it to make sure i wasnt mistaken. He didn't erase the OS he just erased all the user data. it takes a while to reboot but everything works including the browser. so he could use the browser, go to whereever he downloaded the rom from redownload it and install it from whereever he is
That's NOT what he said. Then again, after re-reading it, I think he meant to wipe /system but accidentally selected his SD card.

Ok. Well by now dude is probably home and all is well
Very well, I have an international S3 (i9300) with the SlimBean 4.3 build 2 installed. It was working flawlessly, no bugs.
10 minutes after I put it in my pocket yesterday, I picked it up and it was stuck on the boot up screen, and it was quite hot. I tried rebooting it multiple times and waiting for a while, nothing happened. I have ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.6 installed and working, so I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache and booting up, without sucess. It's stuck on the boot up screen and it gets a little bit hot after a while.
My question is, how do I backup my internal SD card data? Every single time I've wiped the device I used to move the pictures to my PC and made TitaniumBackup backups to the external SD card beforehand, so I could change ROMs and get all the stuff back. Now it stopped working, how should I proceed? I have important pictures and data in some apps...
tl;dr i9300 stopped booting out of nowhere, CWM Recovery is working, how do I save my camera photos and all data from apps?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Solved this by saving my data to the external SD card with AROMA File Manager, nothing lost!
Easiest solution is format system partition and reflash the exact rom you already have, unless the data partition is corrupt this should enable your phone to boot again.
Failing that you'll need to investigate if ADB pull will work in recovery/download mode.

Just tried formatting system and flashing the same ROM, it is still not booting
What can I possibly do to save my pictures? I'll look into ADB pull, is there anything else?
Flash philz recovery with odin, transfer data using aroma file manager, or custom backup, or usb mount internal sd.

I was googling and I had found about AROMA File Manager 10 minutes ago, but if didn't, I would because of this post. Thank you so much!
I was so damn worried about losing my stuff... I copied everything to the external SD card and now I can erase everything from the device and change ROMs safely. :good:
Hey guys,
I have been having problems with some CyanogenMod roms lately. My I9300 was working perfectly using one of the nightly CM 11 ROM's released in early March, until I installed the latest M Snapshot. From there on in my phone has gone insane.
From time to time, during the day the phone gets blocked without any apparent reason. My first thought was that has something to do with the RAM, maybe its getting low somehow, but no, that wasn't the case. Most of the time I have at least 160-180 free ram, usually more than that.
Anyway, then I thought maybe the problem was the installed ROM, so I did a re-install but still,with no effect. Then I downloaded 17th of march nightly ROM, wiped clean the cache and reset the phone. Still with no effect.
My next solution is: Download the newest nightly, currently 18th of March, install the latest Clockworkmod Recovery, which is 6.0.4.6., reset and wipe the phone again (backing of course) and install the latest ROM. What do you guys think?
Also, does anyone else has this problem after installing the latest M-Snapshot from the CM download page.
I would much appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

Yes. You definitely should install the latest CWM. And when you wipe, make sure that you (from the CWM menu ofc):
wipe data/factory reset
mounts and storage -> fromat system
mounts and storage -> format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
then flash the rom etc
If you didn't do this in the first place when you tried flashing the ROMs the flashes were dirty and that may be the reason why they didn't work.
Doing the above will give you a real fresh start with your ROM and problems should not appear.
So, I don't think the problem is in any of the ROMs you tried.. I'm just guessing, so correct me if you did all the above
I have been doing just fine with CM 11 M3 and M4 builds and now I'm on the latest nightly and everything is working perfectly! :highfive:
Hey Man,
I did that, but now the problem is that I cannot install the rom because it has wiped all the data that were there. Now I cannot transfer the rom into the phone. I transfered it into the external sd card but it does not let me to install it, it shows an error.
What to do now???

You should always put roms on ext sd card before you are ready to flash not internal for situations like this! Flash back to stock with odin and start again.
Connect the phone via USB cable, go to recovery, Mounts and Storage, and then click Mount USB Storage. Then, transfer the ROM. Have you thought about having the Cm instaler?

Sorry I think my reply might have confused you..I was suggesting that he should have transferred his rom to ext sd card before he started to flash and wipe system..It looks like he wiped the system in recovery and could not transfer rom to internal sd so he managed to transfer the rom to external sd where it would not let him install please correct me if I am wrong ..
I know there are other options he can try but in this situation I recommend flash to stock to give him a clean system and minimize any errors he might have and then he can try again the correct way.

That was the exact situation I was in. I tried mounting the ext/sdcard and transferred the rom to it, but it didn't let me to install it, it said installation failed.
I used ODIN to flash my tab and installed TWRP 2.2.0 on it, but the i accidently wiped enerything from the internal storage and lost the flashable_superuser.zip file that is needed to. Now I can't access the sd card or internal storage to put the file back. So what do I do? Through the damn thing in the garbage... i just want a working tablet....:crying:

Did you wipe system as well? Seeing that you wiped internal storage it wouldn't hurt to reflash stock ROM with Odin since there's nothing to lose. You can also use adb to push the file to the sdcard.
