Hi guys, I recently trying to root the SGS2 with ClocworkMod 4.0.1.5..during my 1st try, The update was unsuccessful because when i used the Odin, the progress bar stopped...already waiting for like 15 minutes, no progress...wait for another 15, no progress also..so I decided to unplug it, close the Odin, and changed the USB port to another port, restart Odin, and I got it working to flash it (Odin display PASS)..However, the problem starts now, I cannot get pass the blackscreen of my SGS2 to go to the splash screen. I tried going to Recovery Mode, but i cannot do anything. I tried wiping the data, cache, and even trying to change the firmware, but no avail. Recovery mode always give error cannot mount the appropriate file..any help with this?

Hey guys
I have a Samsung Galaxy S. Last week I tried installing a battery icon and after installation, it rebooted my phone. It's now stuck giving me the message titled, "Factory Test Failed" w/ error,"no package was found that provides the factory_test action" I have the "Confirm" button, but everytime I click it, the same msg pops up again. This happens after the Galaxy and rogers logo loads. I tried going to recovery mode and clean up my user data and cleaned up the internal SD, but nothing seems to work.
I don't have my USB in debugging mode, so I am not sure if Odin is going to work on it. Any help? I did upgrade it to 2.2.
You may have to reflash 2.2 to get everything back to stock and/or do a factory reset within recovery if you can
You crashed your phone - try to reinstall the software.
My friend has a Captivate. He lost all his google apps, android market, gmail, etc. He flashed gapps.zip from his recovery and now his phone is not working right. When he flashed a new rom to his phone, and it brought up the welcome screen it shows it for about 2 seconds and then reboots. He is also almost unable to access the recovery becuase of this, but even when he finally was able to access it and wipe everything, dalvik, cache, data/system, it still has issues. Nothing is fixing the issues from the gapps.zip. He was wondering if there is a way to wipe his entire phone from a update.zip file. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Please note that even when he wipes everything in recovery and flashes a new ROM, it still reboot on the welcome screen and he is unable to resolve this issue.
Ok, so he has now wiped all cache and system files, now instead of showing teh galaxy S logo with the cyanogen logo underneath, it shows just the AT&T screen, but it will not go any furhter, it just sits there. He says that because he is now unable toget into android he cannot access the recovery and the volume up/down is not responding. Is his phone Bricked?
Have you used Odin 1-click to revert back to stock?
had my friend use the Odin 1 click and he said it still did not work. He cannot get the volume up/down trick to work, when before all this it worked just fine. I am going to guess that the only thing he could try is the jig method. He swaers that Odin3 is not doing anything
I tried to update my XYboard 10.1 yesterday that I bought used with an OTA update. I am guessing it was the 4.1 update because it was on ICS prior to the update. It failed during the update, and it loaded into the "dual core" screen, then went black with the backlight on and didn't boot.
I tried a one click method to reflash Honeycomb back to the device, but no matter what I do, it won't finish flashing. I tried redownloading the files, and no change. The first time it froze flashing "bootloader", I tried a few more times and it didn't work. So I downloaded a different set of fastboot files and tried to flash them, and now it's stuck flashing "radio". I have let it sit for a half hour and it won't flash past that.
I am not sure how messed up this tablet is but I am stuck, can anyone help me get ANY operating system on this thing so it is at least useable? it is not rooted, I can flash to it but everything I have tried fails. Tried factory reset and cleared cache through recovery and that didn't work, and now I can't even access recovery. Right now all I can access is fastboot flash mode.
I bought this for my girlfriend and I am giving it to her tomorrow and I can't get this freaking thing to work.
Hey everyone, I'm using a GT-P5100 (3G + Wifi) O2 UK rooted tablet and for the last month it has been broken. It started rebooting itself randomly every now and then, and then suddenly it wouldn't even boot up for 15 seconds before it would restart itself again.
I am able to get into safe mode and I can get into the boot options, but when I factory reset it does nothing, I've tried from the boot menu, from safe-mode options and even from the dial up code.
I tried to connect my tablet to my PC as a media device and format it but that didn't work either; I can't connect it as a disk then format it that way because they took out 'mass storage mode' on this firmware.
I then tried to flash a stock ROM in Odin but every time I tried it would fail until I used Odin.v1.3, but guess what, it rebooted itself and my entire tablet is still exactly the same.
(the option was on AP ram in v1.3 not AP nand I don't know if that makes a difference.)
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it so much. I have been trying for weeks to fix this and I just don't know what to do anymore, I tried on another forum but nobody answered me.
Everyone else gets replies and I get zilch; amazing. I don't know what it is that is preventing my tablet from wiping itself but it refuses to clear the current data no matter what way I try (ROM, factory reset, computer format). If someone could just tell me what that is and what I have to do about it that would be grand.
You mention "rooted " but you don't mention what current rom or past roms that you may have flashed, you could have some sort of rom cluster [email protected]$k going on in your tab but NO one else will ever be able to help because of lack of INFO or history.

I standard rooted it from Odin. This is my first ROM I am trying to flash. I just need to know what would prevent a tablet from rebooting itself properly. Factory reset, format and flash is not working so I must assume that rebooting is the issue here.
If you are running stock rooted rom and having issues like this the only way out is reflashing the stock firmware complete (not just a rom) and see if that fixes it before you try any other roms.
If you can get into download mode thats the fix.

To flash it completely do I need more than an MD5 file? (I also have the partition file for my model). Another question, if the tablet is having issues with the reboot after a flash, will updating from a microSD with a zip help? Thanks for the advice.
Hey im new here so please excuse me if this is in the wrong category
hi, i currently have a Samsung s2 skyrocket which was rooted and recently acting up so i tried factory resetting it, after factory resetting it the phone kept freezing at the boot up so i looked up possible solution for this problem which only made it worse. after trying to load my stock firmware back onto my phone using Odin i got an error afterwards from accidentally disconnecting it which read "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again" I've tried connecting to Kies only for my computer to not recognize my phone even after running the connection error solution in the Kies application. i cant even get into recovery mode for my phone only shows a blank screen and starts to vibrate.
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Samsung Kies should have correctly installed your drivers and you should still be able to flash the stock firmware via Odin even in this state. I've had to do this more than a few times on S2, try doing a google search for "USB drivers for samsung phones" and install them manually if you haven't tried that already, sometimes you have to uninstall the drivers then reinstall them, try other USB ports also. Are you certain that you have the correct firmware, just to be sure before you start?
Once you have the drivers properly installed and your PC recognizes the device, charge the battery to full if you can even if you have to do it with an external charger(you don't want it dying in the middle of flashing), open Odin, try to boot to download mode, when the "connect to kies" screen or if download mode comes up then connect to Odin(don't use Kies), if recognized you'll get a blue or yellow comm# box and it will say <ADDED!> in the dialogue box, select the AP tab in Odin, browse to the stock firmware file and select it, when back in Odin screen select Start, give it a few to flash, when done you'll get a green PASS and the device will reboot, give it time to load into system, sign in to google account and you should be good to go. sometimes you have to flash a couple of times to get it. I hope this helps. Good luck.
get into recovery, install the newest twrp, either through custom recovery already on your phone via zip or through odin using a tar.
reboot into recovery again (should be the newest twrp at this point)
if you still have anything on your internalSD, back it up through mount>mount as usb, plug phone into pc, browse, backup, or use file manager
wipe everything except externalSD
install rom then suggested gapps pack for that rom
reboot to system
wait like 15 mins for phone to do its thing during first boot
good luck
