Hi, my Galaxy S2 was working great with KitKat that I flashed and then thought why not try a new LiniageOS. That Rom failed to install and I figured I would try an updated TWRP recovery. I tried the newest version and it failed to install. It warned me I had no rom installed on reboot but I rebooted anyway and went back to recovery. No issues until I tried an earlier version of TWRP that failed during install as well and now is in boot loop with no Rom. Can not enter recovery mode either. Can enter download mode but Odin and my computer do not seem to detect my phone when plugged in via usb. Tried 3 usb cables but only one computer available. Samsung usb drivers installed.
Any ideas what to do next.
Thanks!

Hey guys, yesterday I tried flashing my phone to the PWGB Version 2.0 (Beta 3) gingerbread rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242747). Flashed with Odin 3 v1.85, flash ran fine and phone booted fine. However once I tried to connect my phone again to my computer I noticed it was unable to stay connected it keeps rediscovering the device. When I plug it into a changer it will charge, but toggles between charging and not charging as long as it is plug in. Thinking that is was a problem with the rom I downloaded a new rom through CWM but when I tried to load it through recovery mode I received the following error: E:failed to verify whole-file signature. I am at a lost on how to install a new rom since I cant connect via the USB and downloading a new rom fails to load. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Samsung Fascinate Firmware 2.3.4 Kernel 2.6.35.7 Build sch-I500.EH09
it is a problem with the rom, it is stable but there a few major bugs in the system. i recommend flashing MIUI...its the best rom for the fascinate especially since a new version has been released

aquire a micro-sd usb reader and place rom on the card then put card baack into your phone, then boot into clockwork recovery, wipe data, cache, dallvik...then install rom from zip.

Hope you guys can help me, I ran outta ideas. Here's my problem: I was on a cm12s based rom, downloaded latest SlimRom and when I was installing (using twrp recovery) it gave me an error: "Unable to mount /system". I read some stuff on different websites and ended up trying with another rom and other Recovery's (philz and cwm) but none of that helped. After that I downloaded stock rom to install via Odin but Odin doesn't recognize my phone, I installed Samsung USB drivers, installed kies, tried with different usb cables, tried with different computers but Odin simply doesn't recognize it, now my phone is stuck at download mode since I don't have os installed, is there any way to fix unable to mount system problem? Or to make Odin recognize my phone? I would really appreciate your help.
anyone?

Haven't you taken Nandroid Backup? Am sure atleast Backup should help you boot your phone back
Regarding Odin, i usually avoid it because of same issues of detection. It seems to be very sensitive. However i would suggest borrowing an original cable from someone and see if that works. First and the last time i used ODIN, I tried atleast 4 non samsung cables which never worked with ODIN. The Samsung original cable did the trick for me.
Hey guys, I dled the new cyanogenmod nightly the other day and everything was good. Installed the LanchontrimFPbug kernel (latest one), and things were good. Problem is that I thought it would be a good idea to flash the signed TWRP recovery since it was still on the cyanogenmod recovery menu. I flashed it and when I went to reboot, I got stuck on the samsung logo.
So I can't boot into recovery now, and I'm softbricked. I can boot into download mode, so I figured I would be able to fix things through Odin with the help of the guides around...Problem is that Odin will not recognize my phone. At first the drivers failed to install, and when I downloaded and installed the samsung drivers, nothing happened. The phone still tried to install drivers and they failed. (do I need to install the drivers somewhere specific? I have them installed in program files).
So I found out about Zadig. So I ran Zadig and there was no errors but Odin still will not recognize the phone...
Anyone know anything to help me get by this?
I recently tried to install an custom rom onto my note 2, didnt work very well i was unsure what i was doing and never installed an custom recovery. i tried to install the rom using stock recovery and after it said installing it threw out the "no command error" and went straight to stock recovery. Ive done some research on this and all the possible fixes require an computer connection and programs like odin or fastboot my problem is that my phone hasnt been able to connect to my pc for sometime now, it doesnt even detect an connected device.(from download or recovery mode). please let me know if there is anyway to install some sort of fix using stock recovery with an zip file from a sd card. Please if anyone can help me.
