My Galaxy S2 blocked on boot - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanted to install a new rom,I reboot my phone and I installed something what I found on my micro SD,I confused something with the file of new rom,and now it doesn't start, only what I see after 1 hour is the image of boot (Samsung Galaxy S II, like that image http://www.gophoto.it/view.php?i=htt...ootingsgs5.jpg)
What can I do to start my android ?
Sorry for my little english

it's pity....it's pity that you post your noob question in general forum.
about your "problem": do a wipe/factory reset from recovery, first of all. if your problem won't be solved then reflash any other firmware through odin

take your battery out, put it back
hold:
volume up + home + power, when GSII logo shows up release them, it will enter recovery mode
reflash your rom, kernel and stuff
if nothing works download odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)
hold volume down + home + power, will enter download mode
from there you can flash stock ROM using odin. Take a look at the guide above.
post with more details next time.

afaik if it the screen turns on, even only for SII logo, you can enter download mode.
with the phone turned off hold vol down + home + power it will show a warning screen.
if you can't do that then take to samsung repair center, they know how to do it.

do you know to read? I sad: I can't acces up or down+power+home , can you see that?

sakipis they are trying to help you. Don't be offensive. What do u mean you cannot access up/down+home+power? Maybe you should press the power button after you have pressed the other two...

Man...U'd be kind as people tried to help u
Be sure u press buttons at phone off : power+home+vol down (together at same time & release just pow button while i9100 splash screen appears) >>>> it'll enter to download mode then u can advance to flash with Odin3 1.85 (this is the most compatible Odin w/ i9100).
if u couldn't access d/l mode by as per above make sure u've adb in ur PC, connect them by USB then type in adb terminal "adb reboot download" (without quotes) to enter d/l mode.
Neither means u've hardbricked ur phone..

Press home+ volume up and power not volume down

According to me i think so that your phone is not even rooted
so first of all Root your phone using Z4ROOT (i won,t be avalable in the market find it on google.
then from the market just find the Rom Manager and use option there to install recovery select p500 and it will install clockwork mod recovery 3.1.0.0
If you need to flsh AmronRa recovery just use the zip file provided by ciaox and flash it from clockwork itself

Rooting issues

Trying out the S3 Toolkit. Works until I get to actually rooting, not being detected by Odin. Reinstalled drivers. Tried different USB ports and USB cord. I tried manually putting my phone into download mode, Didn't work. Tried to manually put phone in download mode, When I press volume down + power button I get,

Hitting the volume down + home + power does nothing for me. Any ideas? Phone is second hand, no idea what previous owner did with it.

Do you have usb debugging enabled in development settings? If so look at item 1 in my signature, the easiest and safest way to root mate. Takes about 1 minute

Turn off the phone. Then press volume down, menu and power button at the same time and you get in downloadmode.

Yes I am having the same issue, a friend of mine bought it online from a website for $ 180.00 and I rooted 3 tmo ones and they were very simple and easy.
The problem with this one is that the phone never get's to download mode not even with the jig.
When you hold Volume Down + Home + Power, it takes you to a different screen, I will try to upload a picture soon so that you guys can see what's going on.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Here is more information on the device.
Model number: GT-i9300
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9300XXLE8
Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXALE9
Custom Build Version: V3G.12.07.20
Thanks in advanced hope to hear from someone soon to see if they are able to assist us with this issue.
Here that's the screen we get when we hold volume down + home + power button.
Any ideas how to get this phone into download mode?
Thanks again.

Seems like some custom software has been installed on the fone that has overwritten what is supposed to be there. Someone more knowledgeable than me would have to tell you how to get
rid of it. It would help to know where the fone is from.
First question has to be is this the International I9300 phone or some other model .

You can try the CF root as posted .
But if its not a I9300 then it may damage your clone .

the problem is that you can not even get in to download mode to do that, if you hold HOME+volum up+Power phone will go into recovery mode
and even in recovery mode no option can be selected

If you flashed something via Odin from your computer, and if you did the correct steps (with default odin settings), then your device should reboot automatically by itself at the end of the process.
If not, you have two choices :
Let power off button pushed for some seconds until device turns off
Remove your battery

simply keep on pressing the power button until your mobile restarts. job done. dont forget u should not do this when some file is being written in download mode.

None of these methods work for me. All that seems to do it for me is a battery pull. Is there no other way? Holding power doesn't exit, nor any of the other things that people have said "work".
