[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojsku:
Hi everyone.

I am new to android so apologise for my noob way of explaining things.

I had stock GT-i9100 on ICS 4.0.4. I root my phone.

After that I installed cyanongen 10.

The problem that I have is when I did factory reset/data wipe(by following steps from the guide) it got stuck on formatting data and than phone restarted itself without finishing factory reset. When I try to open cyanogenmod10 it just stays on the screen with cyanogenmod logo and circle going round it.

Is there anyway of sorting this problem out or maybe just downgrading to any other version of android that will work. I tried to restore from backup but after restore it gets stuck on samsung logo.

I dont know if this is important but when I try to restore from backup phone doesnt find any back up and i have to go to advanced back up to find ICS back up. Also I am not able to do factory reset at any point. it always gets stuck on formatting /data and than restart itself.

I followed instruction at the beginning of this thread and flashed stock ROM 4.0.3 but it froze when installing after upload from odin. I think because I am unable to do factory reset.

Tried to flash VillainROM and that is in loop on samsung logo screen wit exclamation mark.

any ideas what else can I do?

Bootloop application problem

Hello guys, this is my first post. Well, I have a serious problem with my galaxy S.

About a month ago I flashed Ice Cream Sandwich on my phone, and it has always worked very well. Yesterday, I was sending some messages but a message appeared: "Application "Application start" stopped working" (I feel sorry if that is not the actual name of the application, I am italian but our forums are full of sh*t so I've asked here). In italian is "Avvio applicazioni", it's the process that starts as soon as you boot the phone, the one which is substituted by Nova Launcher. I hope you got what that is, the MAIN application I'd say. After a bit every icon disappeared from the screen and reappeared after 2-3 seconds, then I tried to move a widget but I kept having the same error message. So I decided to reboot. Since then, I've been having bootloop.

I can't really get why, yesterday I didn't install any application so I don't understand!! I actually know how to fix this (reflashing) and I will also follow this guide, but I don't really want to lose all of my applications. So is there a way I can backup my apps and app data from my computer before reflashing? Like, I had a lot of "Bad Piggies" progress I don't want to lose, and also all of my new contacts... You know what I'm talking about... Please help me, I am kinda desperate D:

And I didn't know where to ask!! Sorry if I'm in the wrong topic!!

Can't get in to recovery

I tried to flash resurrection remix rom on my sgs2. But it did not boot after installation.

Now I can't get in my recovery to do a restore. It stuck on the screen which says Samsung galaxy sII (not the RR bootlogo)

Is this also a bootloop?

Sorry, you stated that your phone is Galaxy S so it's wrong thread. You posted on Galaxy S2 sub-forum. Find Galaxy S sub-forum and ask your question there. BTW my advice is: before you adk anything provide clear infotmation on what rom/kernel you are. Regards

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

Hi,

1. Remove your battery

2. Put battery back

3. Press together volume up + home + power buttons

4. In a custom recovery choose: backup and restore > restore

5. Restore your previous rom

6. If you would like to flash RR rom again follow strictly installation instravtions from OP. Before do full wipe.

Regards

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Ok, you at least should be able to enter download mode volume down + home + power. Flash in that mode via pc odin on of the latest stock roms (TAR version). If you do that flash a custom kernel and then try again RR.

Hello I hope someone can help me,

After rooting my phone, it got stuck at the 'samsung galaxy s2 gt-19100G' logo.

The problem is I am unable to turn it off, as when I hold the power button, the screen will turn off and it will turn on by itself quickly and get stuck again.

Hence I am unable to acess the download mode or recovery mode.

And the phone is heating up by itself whilst stuck at the logo there.

I've been searching for solutions but most of them were able to acess the download or recovery mode.

Please help :crying::crying:

When I powered on my 9100 earlier its gone into that boot loop (only got the phone yesterday and was letting it run down)

"Hold down home, power, and volume UP."

This doesnt seem to do anything for me and a I am still on the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen

However I can enter the downloading screen via "Hold down home, power, and volume Down."

Using Meteor -Ire

At this stage I just want to go back to the way it was, before I go messing with properly.

Any thoughts

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
My problem is a bit different: mistakenly I erased the bootloader (partition mmcblk0p2), as a result the phone does not react to anything, no download mode, no factory reset, no galaxy or battery logo. The only sign of life is that the CPU gets warmer after a boot attempt.

However, if the PIT analysis is correct, there should be a secondary bootloader (SBL2), so a jig should solve a problem.

Did anyone have a similar experience?

But bootloop on rom change is a dev err or i missed somtehing?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Well, if the ROM tells you to do a wipe and you didn't do it, then that's your error.

If you did the wipe and it won't boot, then it's the dev error (ie. in this case).

i think there was a little misunderstanding, i meant that my sgs2 wont react when i press vol up or down. i have to do a full reset without recovery so i can go back from VR to Stock. how do i manage to do that? straight flash without the wipe from VR to Stock causes a bootloop as i mentioned earlier.

Galaxy Note

Any suggestions for a Galaxy Note stuck in a boot loop so bad it's not entering recovery mode? It's not entering any mode to be precise and no combination of button pressing yields anything. It flashes the white logo (sometimes twice) only to go into the shut down blue animation, even while pressing up/power and such.

It originally started reboots after installing some themes/apps but stopped if only I avoided viewing task manager and installed apps. I removed any apps I could remember as installing via a connection with my laptop. It went into a boot loop after notifying me a few times that it cannot install something to the default destination.

you can download the official stock firmware from HERE or you can search the official firmware for your country from http://samfirmware.com/.

And then you can flash it via ODIN. If odin doesn't recognize your device, you can download SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe from HERE.

If you don't know how to flash via odin, you can read how-to-do-it HERE.

- Download & Install SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe to your PC

- Download & extract Firmware

- Open Odin

- Flash firmware

I'm stuck in a bootloop with the yellow triangle after I try and flash an insecure kernal to gain root access.

I flashed back from JellyBam to ICS because I cannot cope with the bluetooth not transferring contacts to my car :crying: (everything else about JB is really good).

The working rom is I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP5_XEU

The two insecure roms I tried are:

GT-I9100_XXKI3_insecure (very old)

and

GT-I9100_XXLP6_insecure which I think is the closest to my secure rom.

I have tried resetting/wiping from recovery mode but this did not work and it just stayed stuck on the boot screen with the yellow triangle.

My working details are:

Model Number: GT-I9100

Android Version: 4.0.3

Baseband Version: I9100XXLPS

Kernel Version: 3.0.15-I9100XWLP7-CL340913dpi@DELL134#3

Build Number: IML74K.XWLP7

I lost root when I went back from JB to ICS but I would like to root again for Titanium etc.

Boot Loop - Can access Recovery and Download Mode

I've got SGS2 GT-i9100 - i tried so many different roms and kernels but it couldn't go past the boot logo of whatever the ROM was....

I've tried Siyah and other kernels....

I've tried using different ROM builds, SlimBean, Xperia, Revolt, VillainROM etc etc....

I can access recovery and download mode... So i'm still not losing hope...

But what happens is that once you turn it on, it will show the SAMSUNG GALAXY S II GT-i9100 logo, then the logo of whatever ROM build that is.. then it just reboots over and do the same thing again....

U guys have any inputs?

I haven't tried using stock rom and kernel.. I'm not sure which one to use... can you guys point me to the right direction...?

I haven't tried flashing a stock ROM.. Where can I get one and which one to use...

This was pretty much a dead phone when I got it from my mom...

I think this one came with Gingerbread when she bought it new...

I found the link of ROMs on this forum but not really sure which one is a stock ROM and which one is not...

can I use a different kernel when I'm using a stock rom? for example, can I use Siyah then use a stock rom? or should I go all the way stock?

then my flash counter is not showing 12.. i'm thinkin' of deleting that using triangle away once I get this phone working.. is that ok? or should I worry about it? is there a limit of flashes or does this pretty much just shows how many flashes have been done to this phone?
