[Q] Phone only booting into recovery, help? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Okay, so, I tried to modify the framework-res.apk through ROM Toolbox to change the download icon. Jeez, Idk, I was bored.
It starts installing and then a bunch of apps fc. It tells me to reboot my phone, and I do. It shows the white SAMSUNG logo, and then where the bootanimation should be, it's just black. the LED is on, emitting minimal light, but it's black. It restarts after a few seconds and then boots into recovery.
Now, I have a NANDroid. I restored it, and then... tada, NOTHING. My phone boots into the same bs again.
I have stock android 4.0.4 tar on my computer that I could flash through ODIN, but I reaaaallly don't want to go through all that crap again.
I did tell ROM toolbox to make a backup of the framework-res.apk and another file (I cant remember the name but it backed up 2 files)
But I can't seem to find them, or else I'd use TWRP's file manager to restore them.
Any ideas? Please respond soon./:

[Q] I Think I KIlled MY G2X HELP!!

I was Removing Tmobiles built in Apps when I acidently deleted the telephony apk. I rebooted to see if the the devide would restore the file then it began to boot loop. i pulled the battery like three times then i tried to power on using both volume buttons and power and the device never turned back on. Is there a way to fix it? Please anyone who knows something can you help?
Try resetting your device. Turn it off then turn it on and keep the volume down button pressed.
The phone wont turn on now
Take out battery, hold both volume buttons down and plug usb cable in

About 47 minutes, until your screen rapidly starts changing colors.
first off wrong section.
not sure if it works with this works with this phone but you can try oden.
you will have to find a oden flashable rom and boot your phone into download mode.
or you could put your phone in a microwave for 10 secs and take it back to the store and tell them it wont work. they will replace it as long as the water meters arent red.
Look at the post for one click installing clockwork mod and do that. Then find the post with the stock nandroid (or eagleblood) download it either put the files on sd via a reader or boot to recovery and use adb push to get the files on the sd card.
Then wipe the data and cache and apply the new rom. That should work. Don't use Odin as that's only for Samsung phones.

Do you have clockwork recovery installed via nvflash? If not, you need to do that, then download the stock rooted backed that is posted in the development thread...Once you do that, download SuperOneClick and unroot your phone, you should not be messing with this stuff if you don't know what your're doing...After that, check out the stickies in the G2x forums and read the rules about what should and should not be posted in the each of the forums.
sorry about the miss posting never posted before and thanks for the help.
still no success i cant get the phone to stay in recovery to flash nvflash im pressing power and down volume but the phone reboots and begins to boot loop again
You don't go into recovery to flash nvflash. You hold down the volume buttons while plugging it into usb with the battery removed. Search for the thread on one click nvflash.

flashed cwm and installed cm7 thanks everyone for the help.

[Q] I flashed CM7 and now it will not even start. Help?

This is the first time I have flashed something. I made a backup right before flashing CM7 using ROM Manager. Every time I turn on my phone, it gets stuck on the boot screen, where there is the LG symbol with some colors in the back. When I flashed it, it went to the boot screen, and stuck there for over 15 minutes. I pulled the battery, and tried to turn it on, and it gets stuck on the same screen. I have tried over and over again, and I have searched the Internet for answers, but I am still stuck. I have tried holding Volume Down and Power, and it goes to a screen with an Android and a box, but nothing happens after that. Please help me, I am new to this stuff.

I did try that. As it turns out, I was unable to get my computer to recognize my phone because, while my USB cable could charge my phone, it could not connect to the the computer (my dog chewed it up). I tried a different cable and it worked. Thanks for the help anyway.
Seeing that box after volume down+power means u didn't flash cwm correctly. U won't be able to flash any new rom if u flashed cwm using rom manager

NVFlash is a must for you to use CWM. Follow the instructions to a T in the above links, and make sure to let the ROM sit after the flash.

And as for the original problem of why it got stuck in the bootloop, you probably didn't wipe everything.

[Q] Brick G2x or no? Need Help.

So I rooted my G2x to 2.3.3 and decided to update to the Hellfire ice cream sandwich. I couldn't figure out how to turn the gapps file from md5 to a zip file, so I decided to reboot the phone with only flashing the hellfire file instead and yes I wiped the phone before doing so. I waited more than 10 min possibly it was over 30 min and the phone seemed it was in a loop but the screen just kept on blinking like turning on and off without the LG symbol coming on.
There was also no icon indicating its installing the new OS nothing on the screen. Does it mean the phone is just doing its thing? Because after 30 min I pulled the battery out (yes I know scary) and went back to recovery mode and NVflashed the phone without the battery in it. Now I'm trying to recover the previous ROM or even back to stock but not sure how.
Currently I'm waiting for the phone to do its thing, not sure whats happening just need clarification on whether its truly updating or is it stuck since I see nothing on the screen. Please can someone shed some light on this for me?
How did you root the first time, what are the steps you are trying. Look at the nvflash steps see what they say will happen if that happened then you should be good to go, there has yet to be a bricked phone. Read the rest of the threads that are labeled "bricked" and read more.

I rooted by following these instructions on this thread..

thanks for the advice I'll continue to look more for brick threads I hope to find a solution soon I haven't been able to get me phone back on in a while!

Also worth noting that an MD5 is a hash, you use it to check against your file to make sure it's a complete download. It's not the zip you need.
Then how do I get the zip file I need? when downloaded its a md5 and I can't seem to find anywhere on how to switch it to the file I need.

Gapps shouldn't prevent you from booting..this seems like a bad flash to me.. try to boot into recovery and flash the rom until the installation lasts about 8-10 seconds at least. You should also wipe data/cache and format /system in mount and storage (CWM recovery) before. If you have a nandroid backup from your stock rom, it could be restored from the recovery also

I have done that my problem is after the installation I reboot the phone and wait and the LG comes on for a few seconds goes away and the screen remains black but blinks and goes off and on and off and on. It does this over and over for a long time. My issue is ..is this normal while its rebooting the new rom? even after 30 min or more? If not how do I get the phone to come back on?
And if i can't get the phone to turn on is there any way to access the SD card to put a recovery file on there to restore the phone back to its settings?

No that's not normal. Is it flashing the rom really quick like 1-2 seconds that means a bad flash and you need to redo the flash process again (no wiping) just re-install.
For the other question, use a thumbstick drive with a micro sdcard slot. Extremely beneficial to have!

it's a bad flash, try reflashing. Your phone is fine.

Problem with SGH-T989 (VTR Chile)

Hey guys:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus (SGH-T989)
it seems to be different than other T989 i´ve seen by net.The firmewire that i have is T989WXLE4 and i don't find it anywhere.
The think is i try to flash with a rom (CM10) wich didn't work. When i flashed it everything was going ok until it stopped in the bootloader. From CWM i tried then to factory restore but i couldn't, also tried to flash it again, but it stopped in the middle of the process, Passes the same with all the items on the list of CWM except restore from a file. For my lucky i had the file, but the process also stopped in the adroid security thing.
Now i can star it in Android, but many things doesnt work like it should be, USB is one of those, the PC doesn't recognize my phone, either the phone recognizes the PC, but it charges. And i can not go odin mode, goes straight to CWM.
I need help guys pls on factory restore/stock.

HELP: Boot animation stuck (x-post HTC One M8\Q&A, Help/Troubleshooting)

I tried to install a custom boot animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJopFQqgjQw <-- This one, to be exact. (The dark one with no text)
Anyways, I installed it using ROM Toolbox, and rebooted. It got about 3 seconds into the animation, and froze. It stayed like that forever. So, I decided to shut down, and try again. Nothing. I even tried wiping the Cache partition. Still nothing. I have a backup of the original animation.
I have no idea how to delete the current animation, and go back to the old one. It won't even let me access my device. Is there any way to fix this using ADB or fastboot? (Or maybe a flashable animation ZIP) Thanks.
Will the phone connect to the computer ?
It will connect. I can/use ADB to mess with the phones files. That is why I was hoping someone knew where RTB installed animations. I would just delete the file, and it should work, right? The problem is, I don't know where the file is.,

If you've got TWRP (not sure about CWM), mount system and and jump into the file manager to delete or rename vzw_bootup.zip to vzw_bootup.zip.bak or delete. I've also noticed that hard resetting (holding power and volume rockers) and then restarting in bootloader and then hitting reboot, it "catches." not a permanent fix, but it'll get you back in..
I wasn't aware that TWRP has a file manager, otherwise I could've fixed it sooner. Haha, I'll give you an update when I try this.
Where is VZW animation stored? That is my real problem.
