Hi
I just love this site..I have a problem. I have rooted my samsung galazy s2. I can go into download mode, and also into the one when pressing HOME + POWER+ VOLUME UP Key.
The problem is I want to install the Rom, but i cannot place the downloaded zip (Rom) into my phones mass storage (sd card) because my pc doesn"t pick up my s2 at all. I did instal Kies.
I actually had it rooted before, and installed canyon..rom? Successfully.
My daughter actually tried to do a factory reset after that. And now I had a phone with just a white screen. Then used Oden and rooted it again successfully. Oden connected to my phone real quick without problems.
Install clockworkmodrecovery....something like that. And works when I press the HOME+POWER+VOLUME KEYS.
My phone does not start up at all. It just go on to a screen with Samsung Galaxy S2 Wording and yellow triangle.
Now the next step is to get the rom into the phone, so that when I press Home+Power + Volume keys up..I can choose option install zip.
I have the rom on a external micro memory card. But when I choose external sd card. It says no files found.
And it actually shows all the files that is currently on the samsung.
I tried to install the rom through Oden. Dont know because it doesn't select the whole file. So Please can you tell me what to do, any one help please..
I really want my phone working again.

Take the micro SD card out of the phone, put it into an adaptor or another phone and move the rom along with the gapps in the card. (if the rom is jb, you need jb gapps, ics goes with ics gapps). Insert the card in your s2 and then reboot into recovery - install zip from sd card - install the rom and install gapps then reboot normally. If this doesn't work post this again at the appropriate section and pm me.
Hit thanks if I helped.

download another rom and flash it, make sure you have the required partitions ie; Fat32, EXT4, LinuxSwap
can you still get into recover mode? power on the phone by pressing and holding the Home + Power button.
Let me know what you see.

Trying holding home after restarting - into recovery
Select Partition Card and follow the clicks.
Load a Rom onto the card using the MS Toggle
Flash a Zip from card
this might get better replies in the QA section.
Can I run this on Sapphire? Whens the next release date?

well, if it was a "while back" they probably don't have MS toggle ( mass storage, i.e mount sd over usb )
@OP
just get the rom onto your sdcard, power off phone, remove sdcard, put in adaptor , then in to your pc's card reader.
you will also want to upgrade recovery
RA1.7.0 is probably your best bet

Totally true FR.
Dont worry OP, Im bilingual in British :
To get the rom onto your sd card:
Power off phone, remove sd card and use an adapter to get a rom on.
This method can be used if your recovery does not support MS.

thats because you flashed it from cm5, nothing wrong with the recovery
issue is CM5+'s kernels
Since they can't boot to ROM the instructions on Amon_RA's page are perfect.
clockwork recovery's page does not give any detail on how to flash, infact it recommends you do it via ROM Manger, which can get you stuck for a bit
PS you can use Amon_RA's instructions to install Clockwork
I'm warming to clockwork, but it has some things I just don't like
No console ((((
No flash/action confirmation, ( trackball is not great, you sometimes slip up or down when pressing ... grrrr )
So please be gentle, I'm over my head (explains the noob). I rooted and installed rom manager, titanium, busybox, all of the necessary apps. I backed up before I started then installed cyanogenmod 7 from SD card. When I ran I learned I needed to flash the radio i used the one you guys posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049542 . It rebooted but was stuck in bootloop. I rebooted into recovery (power and vol down) goes straight into "sd checking" then "no image or wrong image" then asks me if i want to start update. Says:
parsing...[SD zip]
[1] mdm9k
[2] radio_u2
Do you want to start update
Either way it asks to reboot, then goes back into a bootloop
Is this fixable????
Others will have better answers (I'm not a TB user) but I can tell you that if it's turning on, it's not bricked, so I'd chill and figure out how to get that file off the card (don't update twice). Good luck!
Thanks...
That's a good sign then... When I unmounted the SD card it let me get into recovery. But that obviously does me no good when the problem lies ON the SD card
The easiest way to do this would be to try and mount your SD card if it gives you the option. Remove the Ingram file from SD and go from there. Or you can take the SD card out of your phone power back on into recovery and try that then battle pull let your phone reboot delete the file and you should be good to go. I had the problem in the past and that's what I did and it worked like a charm.

battle pull??
Stupid f'n noob... asking a question I SHOULD know the answer to but "Battle pull"? Not sure what file i need to delete or where to delete it from.. Need to speak to me in monosyllabic phrases
Hello everybody,
I have this annoying problem with my sgs2 (4.0.3)
I have rooted my terminal using odin and everything and I have not installed any rom.
The problem is this:
- apps previously installed in my external sd card won't be read/recognised;
- I cannot move apps to sd with any program;
- apps are still present in my ext sd (occupy memory, I can see them in settings/apps);
- n7player can play music present in the sd.
- exclamation point present during reboot..
Possible problems (some ideas I got from surfing the web): permissions, change of ext. sd location..
Possible solutions: none until now
Last thing: I read some other similar topics but I decided to start a new one because I really couldn't get much of them so please, I am stilla noob about these things, be patient if I don't get everything you suggest
Sorry but I won't be of a lot of help. I can only answer one question for sure the triangle when you switch on your mobile.
That triangle shows that you have rooted your phone and that you have installed a custom binary. There are two ways how you can remove the triangle and the binary count.
Method 1: Using triangle away This is the forum for triangle away:----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Method 2: Using a usb jig (you can buy one from ebay). However the usb jig does not work with ics bootloader so you need to flash the bootloader of gingerbread with odin, use the usb jig and then flash back the ics bootloader with odin and the triangle will be gone. Some more information about the USB jig is found on this thread -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402286
I used the second method and it worked. When I rooted my SGS2 I did not have your same problems but I did not stay on the Samsung ROM. I flashed another rom.
What you can do is factory reset your phone, erase your sd card and start everything from the beginning. I know this sounds drastic but it is not that bad. Do a backup of your applications using titanium backup, mount your sd card on your computer and copy everything from it. Format the SD card with your mobile, create ext partition again and then copy back all your folders and data back. (I am talking mainly about the external sd card but you can do the same with the internal one just be sure to copy all the folders after the backup have been done).
If you need any help do not hesitate to ask and I will do my best to help you

You should use the CWM 6.0.1.0 version. Also, the best idea is to use a secondary SD card, not the internal storage. You will notice that in the recovery, the option names are wrong. The one that says "external" is actually your internal storage.

Oh okay thanks, but i only have a option for external, btw can i charge my phone in recovery mode
You need to copy it to the external card if you're staying stock, either in /extstorages or /emmc, depending on hc or ics. Sdcard is your internal partition

Here is what worked for me. I got a lot of help from a lot of people on this site, so I want to share the knowledge.
I downloaded two files (which are attached to this post).
Put both files on your EXTERNAL SD CARD. If you don't have one, get one.
Boot into recovery mode. To do this, shut off your tablet and then press the power and volume up button at the same time. When you see the Samsung logo, let go of the power button only. When you see the next graphic with the android you can let go of the volume button. You should be in recovery mode now.
Use your volume up/down button to highlight 'apply update from external storage' Press power to select
Use your volume up/down button to highlight cwm.zip and press the power button to select it
** When cwm appears DO NOT use the volume +/- buttons anymore. Instead use the touch screen to do the rest of the procedure
In CWM use your finger to choose 'install zip from sd card'
Now, (not sure why) use your finger to tap 'choose zip from internal sd card'
Use your finger to scroll down until you see the root.zip file that you copied to your sd card and tap it
From here, you're good to go. I have no idea why I had to choose the option to choose zip from INTERNAL sd card, especially since I didn't do so. But, regardless, this worked for me. I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup without a problem.
I hope this helps you. I am by no means an expert at anything Android, but this site did go a long way with helping me out. I hope I was able to do the same for others.
One thing I did not understand is why, when I was asking for help with rooting my tablet, people suggested I use Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin requires the tablet be rooted to use it, so using Mobile Odin to root isn't possible unless I am misunderstanding something.
Edit: Now I am embarrassed. I just found this, after the fact.
You're almost there!

I got confused with that too, but I succeeded:
Sorry, Christiaan, but YES, there on the bottom you will find INTERNAL CARD too.
When you choose INTERNAL CARD, in fact it uses you SD CARD.
After choosing INTERNAL CARD, you will see your SD CARD folders. Then you will be able to root it!
go ahead, man!

Hi all,
I have in the past install cyanogenmod 10.1 via Clockwork Recovery Mod. I was "playing" around and basically I am stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" (formatting things in Recovery.....I know stupid!)
Most ROMS seem to suggest installing via Clockwork by copying the files over to the SD card, I am a little lost because I cannot even boot to android and Clockwork doesn't seem to allow USB storage (not sure if it was designed to).
I assume I can flash cyanogenmod again using ODIN? If so how would I go about doing this? Download mode is working fine so fingers crossed you guys can help.
Many thanks!!!!!

If download mode is working, why not just download the original rom for your tablet - get back to stock, and start over ? Not sure if your formatting may have changed something - I would feel more comfortable flashing back to stock with ODIN, and starting my rooting / upgrading / flashing from a solid / stock base.
Just my .02 cents
Good luck, and hopefully someone will jump in with a more useful option
Regards,
You can switch your internal and external storage, so your tablet thinks everything on your sd card is your internal storage. This way you should be able to access your internal storage again (unless your phone doesn't even give you the option to select internal storage). You can do this with the Link2SD app. Besides, this way your internal storage has more space too.
