So I was trying to root and install cyanogenmod to my phone, not sure what I did or didnt do. Phone will turn on to LG symbol and then goto Blue LG symbol. I can go into the android recovery mode and scroll through the 4 selections but does not let me select any of them. Any time I try to download anything to help from the forums the links or programs dont seem to exist anymore.
Thanks for any help in advance
I used the following thread to get my phone up and running a long time ago after I stupidly wiped my internal and external SD cards. While I'm not sure of your particular circumstances, Godspeed.

P.s. if you can recall some of your exact steps, it'll be easier for others to offer help.

If you got cwm from market then you made a mistake. Rom manager does not work correctly for the sgs4g.

Wait, your OP said you have the Samsung Galaxy SII Spring Version (Epic 4G Touch). That's a completely different device. This is the Samsung Galaxy S 4G.
I'm not even sure if that phone has root yet, since it's relatively new. I never checked on those forums.
EDIT: I guess I took a bit too long to type this message. That's what happens when I multitask!

Guys so i wanted to root my phone and
1) i just didnt have to patience to do all the work
2) i didnt get some stuff
3) and i wanted to do this quickly and effectively
i found this youtube video after like an hour of searching and it worked GREAT. [Video and end of post]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
pretty much the instructions are to:
Download the drivers first *NECESARRY*******IMPORTANT. this is one of the ke things cause without this is wont work in the beginning
*JUST A MENTION*
i tried doing this on my 64 bit system and it wasnt as easy when i did it on my 32 bit.
so it could have just been my comp.
just a heads up.
64 bit driver:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
32 bit.
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
After that you're going to download this file:
http://tinyurl.com/Sidekick4GALLinOne
this is the file/folder whatever that will root your sidekick and add the CWM.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^REQUIRES WINRAR^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so to start rooting and the CWM
1) You're going to install the the driver that you download...64 bit or 32 bit etc.
2) after that you're going to set your phone to "USB DEBUGGING" when connect and ofcourse
connect your phone
after that your open up the folder thats called "sk4g root with good recovery"
3) ignore everything you see and just go straight to run.bat
4) click it and then wait, "Press any key to continue" press anything
5) let the thing run and you should be set at the end.
ENJOY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
your phone will reboot during the process and that is ok
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
if your doing this to install a new rom i recommend ayoteddy's GingerCloneV2. if great and has barly any glitches

You cqnt just flash cwm from rom manager, you have to trick the phone into booting into a cwm "clone" there is a thread on how to do his, I am in class now, but when I get out I will post the link, or you may be able to find it.

Beware! Softpedia installs malware on your computer.
The file 'C:\Users\\Sk4g_root_with_good_recovery\Sk4g root with good recovery\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin'
contained a virus or unwanted program 'EXP/Agent.5392' [exploit]
Action(s) taken:
The file was moved to the quarantine directory under the name '4a696fda.qua'.
Just sayin'.

This phone doesn't have much of a life left anymore anyway. Most people have already left. The phone was a great idea, just needed to have better specs and have a more open source. Right now its just on it's last breath. Kinda makes me sad, the keyboard was amazing. The doubleplays keyboard doesn't even compare. But I couldn't handle how slow a single core CPU is. As with most people.

I followed the instructions there, I previously had SkyICS 9.4 on my Skyrocket. Since installing those instructions, I can't boot or do anything else. When I turn my phone on, the Samsung logo pops up for a second, disappears, pops up again, goes to ANDROID logo for a few seconds, then repeats that process or turns off. I can't seem to get to any kind of recovery mode.
I just want to know it's not bricked...
Anyways, if anyone could give me any insight at all, it would be extremely appreciated. If I was too vague in a particular area just ask and I'll answer. I'm not very knowledgeable on this subject.
Thanks for any help.
Did you flash darkside superwipe ?
Oh. And your not bricked yet!

No, I read somewhere that I might not need to do that (different site) and I didn't know what it was.
So what do I do now?
You fall into this category. If you don't agree thats ok..
TAKEN FROM THE OP........
[*]The only people who have a hard time flashing are Gingerbread users. Its hit or miss. I dont know what else to do. Most people who cant flash find that Darkside SuperWIPE fixes it and the ROM will flash! (DONT FORGET put on your sdcard before your WIPE)
Whenever I get into a pickle, this is what I do. That script is a game changer .

I'm not saying I don't agree with you, you undoubtedly know much more than I. My question is what is my best course of action now? Should I take my MicroSD card out, put the program on it, and put it back in my phone? Would that even help, as I can't get to any kind of boot screen anyways or way to use the software if it were on my phone?
Your phone is still fine.
All you need to do is pull your battery. Now, hold Vol up and down while you put it back in/turn the phone on until the first samsung logo appears. Then let go. This will get you into recovery.
From there, you should be able to wipe data. You can also mount the external SD while in recovery and add Darkside wipe, then unmount and run it from the root menu.
After that, things should be fine to re-flash the ROM
Ok I feel a lot better now, that worked. I'm back to ClockworkMod. Gonna start over with DarkSide. Thank you!
[Edit: Everything worked from there on out, ICS is installed now and has booted fine. Thanks again!]
Hi,
I want to sell my galaxy s2 but want to make sure that the buyer can not access any of my previous pictures or chat logs.
I have formatted the partition in Windows Explorer which pops up after hooking my phone up to my desktop, but I can still read the sectors using GetDataBack for example.
I think low level formatting is the solution for this, but before I try this, I want to make sure that nothing of the vital stuff (bootloader, recovery?) gets formatted also and I am left with an unusable phone.
I just tried to flash my device using Odin without putting my S2 in download mode but this doesn't work. I tried this, because I think that I can't also power my device on and put it in download mode after a low level format.
Is this true? What is the right procedure to make sure all of my data is gone and I am still able to set my phone to default firmware so I can sell it?
Many thank in advance for your expertise.
Kind regards,
Funxx
Pm me, get me a copy of your recovery log and I can likely help you out.

hi,
im new on this forum i dont know how to pm.
What do u mean by my recovery log?
kind regards
Ok I have a ATT Infuse 4G phone, and for some reason it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.", I have tried several methods to fix this, but nothing would work. It all started when I was using odin to root my firmware, but i moved my cord a little bit by mistake, and it said the progress had failed. then I saw the screen. I can get on Download mode, but can't really see anything. I decided to go back to odin to see if I can go back to stock, but it freezes at a certain progress part, or at the end says it failed. I can't do anything about it and its getting me worried. Can anyone give me a step by step tut on how to fix it? All is greatful, thanks in advanced. <3
First, this belongs in q&a.
Second, if you had searched, you would have found quite a few step by steps that have already been written.
Third, check the stickies.
sent from outer space.
When in download mode try qksters one click to stock. Should work.
If that doesn't then gtg had a unbrick out from way back in the day. Go to android dev section and go to the sticky on everything. Should be in there.
