I take it your are booting into recovery after flashing and factory resting/wiping data and wiping cache? (This is standard procedure if you have bootlooops)

Kyocera Rise Bootloop Please help!

I downloaded Font Installer on my Kyocera Rise and I attempted to change my font. Soon after installing the fonts it required a reboot and the phone is on a bootloop due to that. When i go to system recovery, at the very bottom it says: E:Cannot load volume /misc . Any help would be appreciated!

Sounds like something got messed up with the mount point for the /misc partition, it can be fixed by modifying the mount points in recovery.fstab, but do not try this if you don't know what your doing you can mess up your recovery. Do you have a custom recovery installed? Try doing a factory reset if you only have the stock recovery, if you have Clockworkmod Recovery installed whipe cache and do a factory reset. If that doesn't work re-install the stock firmware for your phone.

No, I do not have a custom recovery installed nor Clockworkmod. I tried to do a factory reset and wipe cache partition but the same message appears.

Did you try booting into recovery mode and doing a factory reset?
Yes, nothing works. I can't just take it into the store, either. I changed the boot logo. -_-

Softbrick after flashing theme - how to restore without losing sd content

Hi,
so I tried to install a new theme and during the install the phone froze. I tried to access the recovery again, but I can't, the phone stucks at galaxy s3 screen. However I can access download mode.
My question is, what do I have to do to keep my SD Card content (like pictures)? Which firmware should I flash? I was on Wanam Lite Rom.
Thanks for Help
Matt

Flashing a theme will not mess your recovery partition so it cannot happen that you have lost recovery..so try again..
Once you are able to boot into recovery flash the ROM which you were using without a wipe first...you will not loose anything..if you face problems then wipe data/factory reset in CWM ..even then you will not loose the data on your internal SD..

I know that it seems strange but I'm not able to access it. I tried to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844756
on my wanamlite since someone wrote it would work (I did a nandroid backup first). However the installation froze and I had to pull the battery. Since then it won't boot or boot into recovery (the syiah kernel flash screen doesn't show up either).

[Q] I need your help please

Hello,
I was trying to do a factory reset on my S2, and I noticed it doesn't delete my other files (Music, Photos, Etc.) but it does reset my apps installed. Because I want to totally erase my files, I went to recovery mode and did a wipe, and I think I may have wiped the data, system, dalvic, etc on the process. And now my phone wont boot up. It is stuck at the Siyah logo (Because I flashed siyah on it before and it was a success). After this, I tried to flash siyah again into my device and its still stuck. I dont know what to do anymore, I also tried factory resetting using recovery mode. I have flashed other kernels but it still doesn't work. BTW I am using a jelly bean device

Hello sir, sorry if I disturbed your sleep XD no I did not flash a ROM. I just flashed a kernel using ODIN. Should I flash a ROM?
If I flash a new ROM, say the latest Snapdragon for S2 will the kernel be included in the package? I still cant pass the logo screen even though I have flashed different kernels

Thanks Sir Slim, I will try to flash the Snapdragon ROM as soon as after I finish downloading it. Because I believe I have cleared out the operating system and other important data on my device, that's why I need a new ROM.
Hi mate,
Do you run a stock ROM on your phone like you didnt flash any custom ROM on it....
Did you check if the SIYAH kernel you flashed on your device has STOCK ROM support, cause if the siya kernel you flashed has no support for stock rom it will just stay on the siyah logo the whole day until it drains out your battery.....
if you want to go to this website : http://dorimanx.shine.sk/ and dowload the v8.xxx those got stock rom support..... then do a wipe data factory reset....
if your phone booted up, and want to you wipe the phone completely, go to settings and do a factory reset there, your phone will prompt you if you want to wipe the memory card too.... put a check on it then follow the steps okay....

Thank you sir! You are right that I did not have a custom ROM when I installed the Siyah kernel. Maybe that's the reason I was stuck

Make sure when flashing roms its for your s2 variant ie i9100/g/p. If I was you go to samfilmware and download the stock rom for your phone via odin.

Did you wipe all data/cache/dalvik just before flashing the stock rom? if not that can cause a bootloop.

Yes i did
The mobie survived
I did the data and cache wipe after instaling ROM, and the device its now running.
So if is there a warnig please tel me.
a lot of the developers of the roms on here recommend that if you have a problem with boot issues then reflash the rom without wiping anything (dirty flash)

Thankyou for your reply unfortunately you did not answer question (2) fully...The reason I asked for in detail is that you may need to do a full wipe not a standard wipe ie: format system, format data,format cache delvik etc.This will get rid of any residue files left over ready for a clean install (sorry if you do this already) I would suggest trying the above but be careful it leaves you without any rom in system so have one ready to flash from ext sd card.
If that fails I would flash stock with odin and if that boots try again but with a different recovery.
