[Q] Failed kernel flash, phone wont boot. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to flash the Siyah kernel, but failed. Now the phone is always stuck at the Samsung logo, and I can't even enter Recovery mode, only Download mode which implies I must use Odin.
Any advice?

Flash a stock rom in Odin, factory reset. Clean slate. Then try flashing whatever rom/kernel you want again if you're still keen.
Edit - Or...Flash stock rom, root phone, restore Nandroid backup (assuming you have one).

Any guide for using Odin to do just this?

Here. But don't let me stop you searching for it :-|

[Q] Hit a brick wall...

OK. I'll give you two dollars if you can help .
Problem: Phone hangs on blank screen after starting boot through galaxyS screen. Also, when flashing stock .pit and .tar through Odin, on phone is reads "data wipe failed.", then proceeds to the hanging black screen.
Assesment: Realized I tried this (on a friend's phone) that had Voodoo still on. I figured this was the cause. I CAN boot into recovery/download/recognize in adb and odin. I pushed the disable voodoo zip into the voodoo folder from ADB shell, rebooted, re-flashed stock from odin, same problem. I have full access to the phone through adb, and can reach all recovery/download menus, but after I flash this everytime it comes to the "data wipe failed.".
Solution(s): 1.Try to reboot the bionix191_JACS_OCUV_VOODOO.zip via clockwork, encounters a
" E: Failure at line80:
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Installation aborted. "
2.Try to reflash T959UVJFD stock, flashes completely in Odin, then on phone reads "data wipe failed." and hangs on black screen after boot-up galaxyS screen.
Any help would be great, because I have to let my friend use my phone until I fix his.

There is a Eugene Rom for Froyo that does not brick, did you try that rom?
Else try Nandroid stock rom image and restore the phone.
Solution?
OP,
Have you come up with a solution? I have the exact same issue.
Same "data wipe failed," and no (0.0b) application storage.

After that Odin back to stock and you can flash anything you want.
First:
Flash the ODIN Rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740558
(Leave re-partition UN-CHECKED)
Note: This will probably finish and show an error on your phone, that is okay!
Second:
Flash the ODIN Rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
(This time, check re-partition)
Voila. You are no longer bricked and are back to stock JFD.

Will installing stock rom with odin help me here

I extracted some filed to my phone now it wont start, so I am trying to install some stock roms with odin, but will this possibly brick it? I have the bell canada version i think.
How else can i fix this?
What do you mean it wont start, does it bootloop, do you see the i9100 logo, a yellow triangle, or will it not turn on at all.
Can you get into CWM recovery or download mode? If you can only get into download mode, odin will work fine, just make sure to flash the proper roms. (If you have the i9100G, Do not flash the i9100 roms and same of the opposite)
successfully installed
I've successfully installed using odin..just use the search button for the steps and procedure of installation.
Factory reset first .

Rooted i9100 ics rom fail, please help

Hi I have rooted my UK i9100 with odin and successfully installed resurrection remix previously. When trying to flash an updated version I stupidly forgot to factory wipe and now my phone wont boot, it gets stuck on the rom boot screen and i cant get into cwm.
I can get into download mode and from there have tried flashing another rom via odin (litening rom) to see if that would boot to get me into cwm but that freezes on the boot screen also. I tried to use Galaxys2recovery as shown on zedomax youtube channel but then realised that is done from gingerbread only. I tried reflashing "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXX_LP6-v5.2-CWM5" via odin and then the litening rom again but that still hangs when trying to boot.
Is there something obvious I should be doing? ..I am (unsuprisingly) a noob
Thank you
you could have asked at the first time itself, before various yourown attempts ?
if you are able to get CWM now, try to install the ROM after data factory reset and all the wipes + system format from Mounts & storage.
if it didnt help again go to CWM do all the wipes and format system, and switch off and get into the download mod and flash a GB stock rom from ODIN
I can get into download mode and from there have tried flashing another rom via odin (litening rom) to see if that would boot to get me into cwm but that freezes on the boot screen also

that's the thing, i cant get into cwm, or at least i don't know how to. Is there a file I can install from odin that will put me straight into cwm without having a working rom?
why do you wait to boot the phone to get into the CWM,
didnt you try Vol-up+Home+Power while phone is off

[Q] Stuck in boot loop after flashing

Hello,
I am stuck in a boot loop.
I can't access stock recovery mode ( holding +, -, and the power butoon).
I CAN access the download mode.
I CAN flash with ODIN with no trouble.
Short description of actions leading to this:
1. Tried to upgrade to the latest CyanogenMod 10.1, Kernel at that time: SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel
2. Upgraded successfully, but my pone SIM got locked. I panicked and loaded a backup from CWM.
3. Phone returned to stock ROM (I believe) with Zedomax Kernel. DIdn't fix the SIM lock. Managed to unlock with Galaxy S Unlock app.
4. Decided to Flash a new rom + kernel. ROM: rr_i9100_Resurrection_Remix_V4.0.7_Sep-01-13 KERNEL: AJK-v3.9-AOSP
5. Successfully installed ROM, KERNEL. Installed wrong GAPPS, wiped cache and other cahce (in Advanced), installed correct APPS.
6. Everything works perfectly. SIM locks again. Try the Samsung S Unlock app, IT FAILS. (Because i had a back up of prievious EFS from the stock andorid os and didn't delete it?)
7. Restored EFS, Deleted olf EFS back up, did all 3 steps. SIM still locked. Restored old EFS
8. Loaded backup to Cyanogen Mod 9 (i believe) with Zedomax kernel.
9. Phone doesn't load, can't access CWM, or normal recovery.
10. Flashed Odin3 One-click Downloader I-777 UCKH7 Stock + Root No Bootloaders.
11. Phone stuck in boot loop, can't access Recovery mode. (To try and factory reset, because i think i need to reset cache for everything to work)
12. Flased Zedomax KERNEL, thinking it would give me CWM, but it doesn't.
I have read A LOT of posts regarding similar problems, but i decided to ask for help, seeing as every single situation is different.
[ I think that the unwiped cache and data from the REssurection ROM and AJK KERNEL are interfering with the stock ROM, KERNEL. But i can not enter recovery mode to reset data. These are just my thoughts ]
Please help me.
First, follow just step one below and then enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
If that does not solve the problem, continue with steps 2 to 6.
Instructions to clear nand read/write corruption.
Odin3 v1.85 is recommended.
1) Download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning
2) Flash the Tar.md5 of the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.
3) If that is successful you are done. If it is not, then:
4) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning.
5) Flash the Kernel, as in step 1.
6) Flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution, as in step 2.
If I may add step 7) Stay away from Zedomax/his site; his rooting method, files and information are wrong and outdated.
Problem resolved. Thank you very much for your help!

If you can get to download mode flash back to stock and start again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
Also be sure to read the thread entropy links to:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
If you can get into the download mode, use odin to flash Clockwork back.
Something I flashed once messed up the recovery partition, but once I flashed clockwork back,
I was able to restore my phone from a back up.
