Hello,
I have tried installing cyanogenmod. This worked, but I wasn't happy with it and tried to go back to darky's rom, by wiping to factory defaults, then wiping all data; and afterwards update to darky's rom.
But somehow, my phone isn't starting anymore. I also cannot go into Recovery mode. The only thing that is starting is Downloading mode. How can I get a decent rom installed again? :S
Pls help! I don't know what to do anymore
Can anyone help me out here?
Flash a stock rom and start from scratch
Hey, I never got it to work with cyanogenmod on my galaxy s, but since you dont tell which phone u are using its a little difficult. Take a look here, there should be a guide.

Hey all, so I have a galaxy s2 (as you may have guessed) and had a friend root it for me a while back with lightning rom ... Not sure if anyone can help me here ...
I am giving the phone to mum, so went and did a factory reset on it, and it apparently ate the OS because it is now just stuck rebooting itself, it wont actually load into the OS at all.
I've gotten it into recovery mode, but nothing i do seems to work, it just says it can't find files, or sits on a screen with a pretty little icon.
Is there any way I can download the OS again, or somehow get it back onto the phone?
Cheers for your help in advance!

Find a rom that is installed through odin, either a stock ki8 rom or a modded one, there's plenty in the dev sections.
do you have CWM installed if it is then mount usb storage from CWM menu push the ROM in your mobile from your PC. I would recommend this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290468
then install as the instructions given on the first page
P.S odin works good too, your choice
There is a sticky just at the start page called bootloop. Take advantage of that.

Hi there,
I need some help with my phone hoping to finds some help here..
recently my cousin tried updating my Samsung SII GT-I9100G Phone and now my phone is stuck in this CWM Recovery windows..
Can anyone help me here, I've been searching crazy all day long and tried various cyanogenmod versions but none did the trick.
I know the phone is rooted right and all.. because he did an update once successfully and it bootet the Android but he told me it was the wrong version so he tried it with another version and then suddenly the phone wouldn't boot right anymore.. so now it boots the CWM Recovery whole the time.
So if anyone please can help me or if anyone knows how i can restore the phone to the original Androir OS please tell me, getting desperate here -_-
Thanks!
Try this.

Hi Boki thanks for the reply,
unfortunatly that won't work, because when I try to connect my phone on my PC it connects and disconnects repeatedly -_-
but maybe this might be of some information, after installing cm10 the CMW Recovery version is 6.0.1.1 but when I install cm9-RC1 it becomes version 5.5.0.4 and it changes from layout..
In the CMW Recovery menu you can make a Backup/Image of your phone.
Is it by any chance possible that I can download a Backup for the GT-I9100G from somewhere?? or is that only for recovering pictures and music and other unrelated things to the OS??
Go to mount and storage...format system and data...then try to flash the ROM made for your phone..
If unsuccessful...download stock ROM..flash using Odin..
Thnx guys I solved the problem
Hi, hoping you guys can help me out....
I have just picked up a s2 on 3 network. It is running Gingerbread. I checked for any updates but it says it's up to date...
So I thought I'd root it and install custom rom.
I followed this guide to root it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibj_DWt1Yeo
All seemed to go fine, phone started to reboot and I got the screen with the yellow triangle like it showed in his video but then it just stays at a black screen.
I can go into download mode and into ClockworkMod mode.
Any ideas why it's not rebooting properly??
I was just going to try and install a custom rom through CWM but thought I'd better ask before I try in case I brick it completely!.
I have been onto samobile to see if I can download the stick firmware that was on it but nothing is showing up for 3 network...
I have rooted and changed the rom on my Galaxy Tab 8.9 hundreds of times, and have rooted my Note 10.1 without any trouble. But think I must be doing something wrong......
Nothing wrong in what you've done here as far as i know.. Maybe try pulling the battery out and see..
And yes u can install a custom rom.. But u need to be sure that emmc brick bug is not there..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check&hl=en
Use this app to find out..
and why not try a genreic JB since you are on GB rather than custom roms?
i really want to get pacman rom for my samsung galaxy s2 sgh i757 (bell version) but i can't find the file of the rom to download... the closest version i could find is for the i777. is it okay if i flash that onto my phone? or will it magically turn my phone to a paperweight. and also my samsung can never get into recovery mode. EVER. even if i use a app to reboot into recovery. and i'm pretty sure i did everything correct except for the fact that i think i need to update but rom manager says my device isn't supported. thanks for helping out a newb! help much appreciated.
If you flash a ROM meant for another device, you will brick your device. Never do this. Ever.
Hello guys.
Happy holidays! I need your help badly as my samsung s3 19300i is stucked. After rooting my phone successfully. I tried to flash a custom ROM (EOL)5.1.1
I followed the instructions properly and then when the phones restarts. It ended up getting stucked on the title screen.
It never loads even I waited for a couple of minutes.
I tried to flash again my TWRP using Odin but still my phone doesnt go to recovery mode. It always go to the download mode and says "could not do normal boot"
I've been trying to fix this for the last 6 hours now and I feel desperate as I have posted and send help with you guys.
I would really appreciate your help guys.
Cheers!
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
I think you tried to Flash my ROM, because it's particular EOL.
You need to flash stock and then start from new. If you need help to flash stock, please search in S3 General section. Then please start from new and install TWRP 2.8.7.3 Official.
Kind regards
Trafalgar Square
As stated, flash stock via odin and start over.
thanks
YEs. Mr. Trafalgal.
I tried to use your custom ROM but didnt work for me . MAybe i did it wrong. I will try to do what you said and will update to you.
Thank you very much
Someone needs to highlight the dangers of using modified recoveries..
If you are flashing a custom rom you MUST reset to factory then reroot and flash using only offical recoveries + cfautoroot.
Bootloops are common if you do not adhere!.
