Why don't you use a different odin version may be much older one or newer one and by the way did u download the right firmware from the right source? Verify whatever I mentioned and give it a try with older odin,or simply follow some YouTube video! Thank me if I had helped you!
Ok i repaired this errors in recovery i install right kernel agaim from this pack (link above) next i install twrp and wipe data cache and other stuff, and when i flashed resurection remix with gapps(and without) my phone get bootloop. I tried cachce data dalvik wipe- doesnt work i tried to flash again this room still bootloop.
How can i repair this? Should i flash by odin stock rom?

Try going back to ext4 format instead of f2fs.
If that doesn't work, try flashing stock via Odin then start over with the guide, I believe there is an updated way to upgrade that has the rePIT built in, try finding it and use that guide.

Hi everyone,
I've installed ICS domination theme on my SGS2 with litening rom 6.1 installed on it.
After the installation, i've got a boot loop with a strange pop up which is
" Select an action
----------------------------------------------
Select an application for the USB device."
So I've wiped user data from the CWM recovery and I tried to install back my insecure rom (litening rom) with odin and also the original one.
The phone reboot well but i still get the pop up and i can't do anything ...
Is there a way to format and start from scratch or a another solution to remove this pop up ?
PS: i don't mind losing all my data.
PS2: sorry for the picture's bad quality (i took from my webcam ...)

Thanks for the quick reply !
I said i don't mind (or care) about losing data.
I don't have the mount storage and any format system (otherwise i would have already tried it ) on CWM ... I only get :
-reboot system
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
My android system recovery is 3e version

yeah sorry about that realised later.
Try wiping from CWM or flashing official stock firmware all over again
I have fixed my problem.
It was soft bricked so I have follow one thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Anyway, thanks everyone for answering me !
Hi All,
i think i just softbricked my S3. i was running Omega rom 33.2 and found the phone was unstable. Hence i wiped data, factory reset, clear dalvik cache and etc. after flashing the rom, it got stucked at samsung boot screen.
i even tried to reflash the rom but still failed to boot up. after that i decided to flash stock rom using Odin (I9300ZSDLK2). it managed to boot in but then it got stucked at recovery (failed to mount /system (Invalid argument). i thought it could be something wrong with the /system, i then flash CWM to format /system. obvious i wont be asking for help if that step succeeded. i basically got pawned because i am not able to mount /system. anybody can help me?

First cm11 is not lollipop, its kitkat. But if you want that rom its fine.
It sounds like you have an older recovery. Flash the newest recovery of cwm or philz, or whatever you prefer. Then reboot back into recovery. Also depending on what rom you are coming from you probably need to do a full wipe before you flash those files. Format system, data, wipe cache/dalvik. And I would recommend wipe cache amd dalvik after flashing as well, then reboot into system.
Problems with modding my Galaxy SII
Hi,
ah the first mistake.: I really wanted lollypop ( this was the reason why I started all this) and I looked for it but still got the wrong file
I just went to: download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100&type= and took the latest file.
I still don't get the meaning of getting a new recovery: where do I go for this and how do I do it?
I just switched off my phone and started in recovery mode then wiped the data and the cache.
Could not wipe dalvic cache, because there was no advanced option available???
So how should I do it?

First of all, relax.
Second, you can't just go around and blatantly download the latest file you see hoping for it to be a lollipop version rom. You have to read around and actually make sure what it is your downloading. You only get one chance cause if you screw up badly - hardbrick.
BTW, you won't find any lollipop ROMs on that site as there is no longer any official CM roms for S2. You can get unofficial builds from Galaxy S2 Android Development section and also kernels in the same area.
Before you flash a lollipop rom, you must first have a compatible kernel for it. Go around, read in Lollipop rom threads and see if you can find a compatible kernel for lollipop. Then go about and flash your ROM.
Good luck.
Problemss with modding my Galaxy SII
Ok, did my homework.
Installed CWM-based Revovery v6.0.4.5 via odin
Wiped all data and cache partition
Wiped dalvic cache
Installed cm-12.1-20150408-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip
installed pa_gapps-modular-mini-5.1-20150404-signed.zip
Everything worked fine
Then tried to reeboot system.
After a while the Samsung Logo with an exclemation mark appeaered and a bit later the last screen (with reboot system now) reappeared and that was it.
Whiped the two caches again - no change.
What did go wrong or what is missing?
When I go to -report error it shows:
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
init.svc.adbd=running
Hey everybody,
I was on LOS 15.1 for a rather long time and I wanted to try RR, so as usual I backed up my system and tried to flash the RR-rom.
It did not work at all and I got several errors among which error 7 and the unability to mount system partition were the most prominent.
The device got bricked several times but I got it back to life with MiFlashTool, running either MIUI 8.5 or MIUI 9.
The strange thing is that even after flashing the MIUI-img - and basically bringing the device back to its factory firmware - I could not flash a rom.
I tried several recoverys; the latest TWRP, the TWRP linked in the LOS15.1 thread and OrangeFoxRecovery. None of them would work. I wiped all partition, nothing worked. I got different errors shown, most of them were error 7 or not being ablke to mount system, as stated before.
Right now I am back to MIUI and rooted it, which worked from OrangeFox, but I actually would like tzo run a custom rom again.
Any idea what I could do?
Cheers!
Noone who has an idea why it would not work?
I thought that after flashing via Flashtool the phone would be as good as new and all prioir changes would be gone? Wha can I not flash anything via recovery and get erros?
Or are there different versions of Orange Fox Recovery? RR would be treble, so I would need a treble recovery.
Cheers!
Have you tried to format internal storage?
If not backup data in sdcard or pc and format it using recovery.
Are you using trble supported recoveries?
Did you encrypted your data while using Lineage OS?
Hey,
well, yes, I encrypted data but since reinstalling MIUI via Flashtool this is gone. And I thought that this should be enough and reflashing it via MiFlash is like a factory reset? Is there anything I did not consider?
After Flashtool did not do the trick, wiped everything but External memory in TWRP, no kelp either.
I also did the normal wipe (where you dont have to choose which partition), this did not help.
As I said, I am currently on the latest OrangeFox Recovery but I also tried the latest TWRP and the TWRP in the LOS 15.1-Thread, which did not help.
To my knowledge all of the are treble recoverys?
I also tried to restore a vackup of LOS which did not work...
I flashed

When you reply quote, I didn't get notifications for your reply.
Your bootloader is unlocked and you installed Twrp recovery.
Try copying Rom zip to SD card and wipe system, data, cache, dalviks cache, internal storage (exclude sd card off course). Then install it.
It should work
As I said, I did all of this, yet it does not work.
After wiping I tried to flash RR rom...
I get "Patching system image unconditionally...
Then I get E1001: Failed to update system image. (in white)
Updater process ended with: ERROR 7 (in red)
Error installing zip file 'patch...' (in red)
Updating partition details (in white)
Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid Argument) (in red).
As I said, that happens with different recoverys and different roms (treble and non treble)

Are you sure the Rom you installating is for your device because error 7 occured if the rom you are trying install is not for your device.
Yes, of course, it was the correct ROM. Before error 7 I got error 1001 and I guess this was the initial problem.
My guess it that the problem was the decrypted partition which I did not format in twrp in my first go. Every wipe and format afterwards somehow did not help...
Now after having flashed recovery and different roms 10 times and using miflash 10 times it worked and now I am on RR. Don't ask me what eventually did the trick.

Great to know
I hated MIUI because of the bloatware and ads. Have fun using RR. If you want you can use Liquid Remix Pie its a great ROM.
Yes. I also did not like MIUI that much, that's why I was using Lineage before I wanted to try RR: Thanks for the advice for anothe rom.
i fix this issue by format data, not only wipe then restart the recovery and install the ROM, then finally it works !

If I format data, then I have to reboot into the recovery menu to be able to use data again. But this is impossible, because it gets stuck into the bootloop every time I try to reboot. Any other option to fix this error?
EDIT:
I could fix it myself:
1. MIUI latest version; flash with MiFlash.
2. flash TWRP with e.g. YUware
3. flash latest fw_vendor in TWRP
4. full update pixel expierence (NOT incremental) rom flash
5. Partitions/Data/Format
6. Reboot and ready to use
I have flashed twrp wiped the phone, but when i try to install pixel experience i get Failed to mount '/system' and '/vendor' (invalid argument)
I have tried changing from ext4 to ext2 and back to ext4 again but it still doesnt work
Wipe Dalvik/ART, Cache, System, Data as before every rom install, if that doesn't work you will have to flash boot.img but don't do this with the restore method in twrp, only use the install button.

Glad you work it out. Don't know about your phone but what i heard is in order to flash A13 rom you have to flash original A11 firmware on your phone.
Have a nice one!
