Pull and reinsert the battery and go in recovery and do a data/factory reset and wipe cache and reboot. That should work.

Stuck on boot screen

Hi guys,
I just flashed criskelo rom to my phone, but I tried to do a hard reset using the code (*2767....) and now my phone is stuck on the boot screen (SAMSUNG). I've waited a long time already, left it over night and nothing.
Also I tried to recover the back up I made with CWM, but I'm again stuck on boot screen...
Any ideas on what I can do??
Thanks

Try either flashing a stock firmware through Odin, or go into recovery and format /system in addition to wiping data, cache and Dalvik, and install the ROM zip again.

OMG THX...
I just flashed a stock firmware through ODIN and it's ALIVE!! Thanks...
(before i flashed on ODIN I restarted my laptop and it was stuck on BOOT... its like a curse omg... i had to go to safe mode to make it work again...)
Its all working now thanks
EDIT: Well... i rooted the phone again, flashed the rom, but this time I tried to make the wipe cache and factory reset through the CWM (volup+home+power), but I got stuck on boot screen again.... Guess I'll have to stay with the rom but without wiping it

If I remember correctly, Criskelo ROM does not require you to wipe anything if you're coming from a stock ROM (it does everything through the install script). So just install it and live happily ever after
getting stuck on the boot screen is normal...i did twice already while flashing new rooms...usualy for forgeting to wipe. reflashing the stock rom always works.

Stuck at the Samsung boot logo

Hi,
CF rooted today and cheked out supernexus but decided to revert back to my backup (official 4.1). I booted into recovery and did a full wipe, and restored the backup. Upon reboot the boot seems to be stuck at the SAMSUNG logo - it still glows but nothing happens. It's been like this for 10 min. or so!
Would a stock rom Odin flash do the trick or am I screwed...

I wiped data/factory reset, cache and dalvik the first time around. Tried wiping cache and dalvik again at no avail. :crying:
have you got any other ROMs on your SDCARD you could flash through recovery?

Hi you are stuck on bootloop
you can flash another firmware to sort this out go to sammobile.com and download a firmware there.. but you have to have an account there so if you don't have one yet, you can register there for free also, after you have downloaded the firmware, use PDA in odin to flash..
i hope this helps cheers!
Thanks guys
Luckily I still had the supernexus rom on my internal sdcard, so I was able to flash that with success. Guess my inital ROM backup was corrupted!
I'm sure the sammobile solution will come in handy next time!

S2 won't go past boot screen

So basically my S2 died on me randomly, but i was able to boot into recovery so i tried to restore my backup. It then said 'MD5 mismatch', I then tried to install a rom but it said installation aborted, I then booted my phone into download mode, loaded a stock rom through odin, it said successful but it won't go past the boot screen, it just hangs. I tried flashing another stock rom but the same problem occurred.
Any form of help is appreciated
OK now you flashed back to stock rom, boot into stock recovery then do a factory reset/wipe data. Be sure your not dangered by the emmc bug on 4.0.4.

I presume you have tried taking the battery out and outting it back in again,
If you can get into recovery, wipe data, wipe dalvik cache and cache.
If you cannot get into recovery, flash cf-root first. After that, enter to recovery. Wipe all and format system. Flash dlj5 again with ODIN.
Greetings.
thanks guys ! I did wipedata/factory reset and it got solved

Boot into stock recovery Volume up + Home+ Power then factory reset wipe cache and reboot do this after every flash as standard to stop bootloops.
i tryed everything is it possible that it is a hardware problem? should i keep trying?
As the above senior member mentioned.
You could try it.
You can also re-flash the latest stock OS. You can download it from sammobile or you can plug in your device in computer and update or re-flash the OS via KIES.
