HI Guys.......i have galaxy si9000 and while updating the custom rom i wrongly selected the files using odin and the update failed...it was still in download mode but i removed the battery to retart the phone and to see if anything happened..........and then it doenst start at alll......kindly help how to start or how to reset the phone to get in download mode.
The reason while i was trying to do was ...few days back i loaded Ice Cream Sanwich on the phone and the phone went really slow so i decided to revert back to Ginderbread.....which was done successfully but then i decided to change to custom rom and this happened......
Hello so I tried to put genesis ics rom on g2x and followed instructions, now its stuck on his rom lg logo(meaning it shows lg logo, then shows custom logo) and I cant get into CWM either, any direction would help
What steps did you take because if the you followed the steps, it would boot.
Also, when you say you can't get into cwm, what does it say/do?
Does it show some grip reaper?

So after hours of being up all night, I fixed it.....I was sooooo happy I was able to get CMW Recovery loaded on there through CMD prompt but at 1st it was gone cause I didt know that ROM manager put a fake recovery on there, so did it manually and put a new rom on sd card and now it works back to 2.3.4 stock rooted, but thanks for responses all
Sorry everyone... I tried one more time (my 5th attempt!) and it worked this time! I have no idea what happened with the earlier attempts. Thanks
Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with a Rogers Skyrocket here and hope someone can help. It was running a custom ROM, but I was given the task of returning it to stock. I don't recall which ROM was on it, but it worked nicely. I should have just kept it that way!
Thanks to vincom's super helpful posts, I got the info & file(s) needed to get this thing back to stock. I installed Odin 1.85, and extracted
I727RUXLF3_I727RRWCLF3_I727RUXLF3_HOME.tar.md5
from the zip. I started by doing a wipe/factory reset (from inside the custom rom) first, and rebooted to see that it showed the initial setup screen. Then pulled battery and booted the phone into ODIN mode. I made sure to kill Kies completely before connecting the phone to my laptop (WinXP). Then launched Odin, hit the PDA button, loaded up the above file, left the check-boxes as they were, and flashed. It was successful, and rebooted the phone.
The rogers logo appears, and the samsung galaxy bootanimation comes up, and it continues to animate.... forever (for the record, I waited 20 minutes, more than enough time). I can pull the battery and try to boot again but it still stays on the bootanimation. I'm not sure what else to do? I can still get into stock recovery or Odin mode. Can anyone help? Thanks
Hi everyone!! New here, but not new to Forums in general. I searched around and couldn't find my exact issue, so I figured I’d start a new thread. This is gonna be kinda long, but I wanna give as many details as I can to keep things accurate.
My wife and I both have the Galaxy S2 T989 (T-Mobile). Both purchased like new off eBay. When I got hers a couple months ago, as soon as I got it I factory reset and wiped the caches, upgraded to JB via Kies, and then turned right around and rooted it via Odin using the instructions found on galaxys2root.com. Everything went flawless, took me less than a half an hour total for everything. I got mine a couple months later and did the exact same process as soon as I got it in the mail. However after rooting on Odin and getting the green pass just like hers, it got stuck in a boot loop when it rebooted. It would go as far as the "galaxy S2" splash screen, and sometimes past that to where the Android takes off, then reboot, or freeze. It then became unresponsive to any button pushes and I had to pull the battery to get it to shut off (The battery is a new OEM Samsung battery incidentally). I ultimately had to unroot, re-install ICS and re-upgrade back to JB via Kies again to get out of the loop. I did this whole process 3 times to make sure it wasn’t something I did. So I’m still running unrooted with JB on it now.
The only thing I noted that was kinda odd was that when I open Rom Manager in my current non rooted state, it shows that I already have CWM and TWRP installed on it. Even though when I go to recovery mode it's the standard OEM Samsung menu. I never installed TWRP, and CWM was only on it for a bit when I was in the boot loop. Could this be my issue? Are they both still somewhere on my phone interfering with each other and I can only see them via ROM manager?
Sorry for such a long first post, and thanks in advance!

hi,
can 'be that your device has some residual old. Do as you have advised. install a stock rom and firmware, so it becomes a new cell phone. After odin starts TWRP (much better) and root.
I would flash a complete bone stock Rom using Odin and start over. Also rom manager was highly discouraged on the AT&T version of the s2 so I don't know what the stance is on T-Mobile's version

Thanks for the advice! Should i flash it back to ICS then try to root again via Odin before i upgrade back to JB? I'm guessing there's something that isn't getting wiped. Since i can run CWM and Root with Odin without a hitch. it's the initial reboot after all that is done that I go into the boot loop.

Sorry for my ignorrance, what exactly is TWRP, and is it now on there because i used Odin and it installed it automaticly? And do i want to use this vice CWM?
One more question...before i try all this, can i backup everything on Kies just like i would be able to with CWM and reinstall if my root fails again? I've only used Kies for firmware upgrade, never to reinstall a backed up copy of my phone.
Thanks!

Hi
TWRP and the 'one touch recovery, better than CWM.
The backup kies can not recover from CWM
steps:
install odin, after recovery, nandroid backup, ROM, and root.
hi
Flash the stock firmware using odin!!..it will work!

freezes then booted
Hello I have this problem with my galaxy s2 i9100. After reboot the phone wasn't booting something like "boot loop" so I re flashed the firmware and now the phone boots up but after the boot it freezes immediately. So I decided to install clock work mod recovery and install cyanogen mode 11 with cyanogen mode the phone boots up and are able to be used again until the screen goes to sleep mode or the power button is pressed then the screen goes black and doesn't turn on after long pressing the power button it reboots. So I don't know what else to do I have tried kernels, operating systems re flashing reseting and nothing helps. No need to tel me to do resettings. Also my galaxy s2 i9100 chip has insane chip bug but I don't know if it has to do something with my problem.
Hello I am searching for help. The problem is that my galaxy s2 i9100 stopped working properly. It started like this maybe I took out the battery or something I don't remember and then I turned it on the phone wouldn't boot. I thought maybe my android operation system got bricked so I decided to re flash it but as I can remember the phone wouldn't go in to download mode but some how I managed to reflash the firmware but then phone booted it just froze and then I pressed lock button the phone screen would go black and reboot. After installing cyanogen mode 11 the phone would boot and it could be used again until pressed the lock button it would go black and reboot so I have been reading forums and found problems like boot loop corrupted mmc or something else corrupted and I don't know what the real problem is because the symptoms are like boot loop or corrupted mmc or soft brick. I have already tried other kernels other android versions clock work mode

I have found that my emmc has the insane chip bug. The phone boots normally with cyanogen mode 11 but then it goes to sleep mode or I press the power button the screen goes black and the phone restarts. I have tried siyah kernel to try dual boot but then I flash siyah I cant get into recovery.
I think you should flash latest STOCK ROM with Odin, and then follow available custom rom instructions on xda...
Test if the stock rom will work for you, boot your phone etc... Try to use it a few days. If everything is OK, proceed with
further procedures...

I have already tried this but with the stock rom phone boots but at the section where I have to chose language I jus freezes stops working
So I think it is a hardware problem. Phone on stock rom shouldn't freeze on language selection. Something is wrong. If you are on warranty, let them fix it for you, if you are not, try to fix it in some phone repair point. I'm sure you can stop your attempts. It will not be better for now.
