soft bricked? please help - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

hey guys the other day i was on the nov 12th nightly of aokp. really liked it but it kept vibrating randomly so i reverted back to my rom of slimbean with the instagatorX kernel. the battery life was terrible so today i decided to go to the nov 15th nightly of aokp. and i did a full wipe and flashed the rom and gapps. and then proceeded to reboot. it boots by displaying samsung on the screen then nothing. so i was going to just go back to the recovery and i use TWRP btw. and it wont boot into recovery. the only thing the phone will do is it will display the charging animation when i plug the phone in but only if the phone is off. and i can also go into odin mode. but thats it. is there anyway to save my phone except reverting back to stock? any help is greatly appreciated.

Why not revert to stock!! Then work your way back! Nice way to spend the evening!

Can you flash a new recovery with Odin? Then maybe access that one to restore to a working ROM.

You have to go back to stock and then start over. Why don't you want to go back to stock? You can find the stick Rom at sammobile.com

So you just flashed a new recovery?

You flash the stock Rom thru Odin.

Sorry bro but i think yes, i had the same issue, i tried to get into CWM after installing "stable" version,If your CMW is gone after installing ISC version then probably same issue, CWM is affected by that file thats why OP removed it, but for now you have Odin back to stock sorry.
Hope thats helpful.
Flash the cwm community kernal and do 3 button restart. You will get it back.
Flash with sgs kernal flasher app. and shut down, reboot woth 3 button. Wala!

1. Make sure you do all of your wipes.
2. Flash once to get blue recovery
3. It will likely hang so get back into recovery and do all your wipes again.
4. Flash the rom again and reboot. Should be good after that.
What steps were you taking?

You need to flash Gingerbread bootloaders. That's why your recovery is broken. After doing that you'll be good
I have a red cwm tho

Okay. Do the wipes as per instructions sake.
First, you're going to have to flash whatever ICS ROM you want. It will be stuck at the Cyanogenmod screen. Wait a minute.Take out the battery and put it back in. Now, when you reboot, you are going to have a messed up BLUE recovery. THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL as you have Froyo Bootloaders. What we need you to do is attempt to find the ICS ROM again that you wish to flash. Flash it the second time. Reboot. Voila!

Depends on personal preference. Using nun's aokp and was using RemICS UX edition as well. Both ran very fluent. AOKP has a few more customization options from what I've observed over the cm9 base builds.
Every single ICS ROM has its own distinction. I have personally tried JB's Ultimate ICS and AOKP.
I highly recommend these two. AOKP provides more customization options off the bat, but JB provides its own pros as well. It is just a matter of personal preference.
Good luck!
actually sometimes you wont have to reflash if it boots straight up into it

Without knowing what ROM you're using no one can help you. Random reboots still happen in Jellybean but they aren't every 20 minutes. Download the stable CM9 for your phone and try installing that. If you still get random reboots you have either a defective phone (not likely) or you're doing something wrong.
I'm on orthus one and it happens to me one literally every ROM I try including the stable cm9. Idk what I'd be doing wrong. I'm on sk8s latest recovery if that helps. Should I just odin back to stock and go from there?

What was your original ROM? Are you coming straight from stock ICS to the customized ROMs or are you coming from an older android version?

Make sure you're on a higher version of CWM or get on TWRP, the recovery may have had a lot to do with it
Cheers, hope it works.

I'm running Liquid rc1 v2 myself - it's buttah smooth! Check out TWRP recovery - it's a must for flashaholics. You can download the goo manager from playstore and install the recovery or flashable version available in dev section. Try it and you'll be hooked.

[Q] Why am I stuck on recover even after Nandroid restore?

Here's phone info prior to the mess:
v21y
mokeeOS
latest gb harsh kernel
CWM v5.0.2.0
I went ahead and tried to flash a new rom and a new kernel. I guess it wasn't compatible and got stuck on boot animation for over 30mins. So i thought I'd pulled the battery. I did a nandroid restore (used it before and works) and it wont boot into the system. It just goes back to recovery.
Then I tried to flash mokeeOS and harsh kernel. After rebooting it goes back into recovery.
I tried many roms / kernels that previously work and it still goes back to recovery. I tried nvflashing recoveries (CWM touch, twrp), same thing happens. Now what should I do?
update: I flashed stock recovery. It shows an arrow going out the box and an android.
update: this clean up batch tool fixed it for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24635755
Never heard you say you wiped/formatted anything
if not there will be residue from your old ROM/kernel and you may have the same situation

Reboot Issue

Okay so I bought a Blaze a few days ago and I was messing around with it and I rooted it. When I rooted it I flashed a ROM and when the ROM booted up and got to the welcome screen it instantly turned rebooted itself, so I let it boot up again but it constantly reboots. Then I went back to a backup of the stock ROM and it still does the same thing. So I followed a guide that updated me to the ICS update in hopes of it fixing it but it still does the same thing! Now I don't know what to do with it. I was hoping maybe someone can help or if this has happened to anyone? Thanks in advance

did you wipe data/cache/dalvik in recovery?
Yes I did all of that like a billion times and still nothing
I see you only have ten post so my first question is are you just new to xda and have knowledge and experience with root and recovery and custom roms or is this all new to you?

Yes, the miui we have has a link to racing's blue lightning. I would try miui or another ROM again, but make sure to format /system along with wiping data, cache, and davlik. Or use black hole wipe. If you don't have anything important on the internal SD (or back it up) it might be worth it to format the emmc also.
