But my SGS2 is not a rooted phone. Is it necessary to get into recovery mood for that specific factory reset, I used android settings option of factory reset but still it has restarted

A clean wipe and fresh install usually solves the problem (unless its a ROM specific issue)
Use this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100558
Then reflash your JB OS.

He probably doesnt need this.
Just boot into recovery and perform a full wipe. You dont need cwm, just use the stock recovery.

Lennyz am bit new and noob to these things. Please guide me how to boot into recovery?? with a detailed procedure. How full wiping is different from factory reset?

If you are new, then read, search and learn on the forums. You will find plenty information about what the stock recovery is and what it does.
Full wiping can be the same as a factory reset. Full wipe usally stands for wipe data/factory reset.

I did factory reset many times, I even changed the firmware aswell but its still restarting :'(

Finally Decided to downgrade
Since I update my phone to jelly bean I am suffering from forced restarts. I wiped the data with factory reset and installed other firmwares as well. I posted this question on most of the forums and due to insufficient help and no proper solution to this now I have finally decided to go back to ICS or Ginger Bread because they were atleast stable.. :crying:
Though I loved the new Jelly Bean interface
[Disappointed]

Installed Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC --> Kernel Panic...wtf are my options?

As the thread title states...I was on 7.1 and downloaded/updated it to 7.2 Now the phone doesn't boot up and all I get is the Kernel Panic Upload Mode.
Anyway I can fix this? And if so, is there a way of doing it without completely formatting my phone and losing all my apps?
Oh and if it makes any difference I had to install that Siyah Kernel or whatever it was called to get out of the bootloop issue that I had with CM7.1. I'm thinking that that may be causing the problem....? But then again what do I know
wipe cache only.

How? I've been trying [Power+Volume Up+Home] and it hasn't been doing anything. Can I do it through download mode somehow?
Had this problem when i flashed Lite'ning rom. Had to go into download and flash stock with odin. Took me a few tries to actually get the rom to work. As far as I know, that'd be your only option, seeing as recovery doesn't work for you.
take a deep breath and read, there is a very small chance of bricking your phone just so you know. Flash back original with Odin and start everything again
thanks for the replies...looks like i'm gonna flash the stock firmware back and see what i can do about getting to CM7.2 to work. hopefully flashing stock firmware is enough. I can't imagine how this would completely brick my phone and render it unusable.
As an aside...wtf is the point of this "recovery mode" when the thing doesn't even work half the time?
Anywho...downloading the stock .exe file now from here: http://devsrom4android.blogspot.ca/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmwares-bell-canada.html[/url
Ok so I flashed the stock rom and now I'm in Android system recovery: Should I just reboot system now or do I wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition??

If you flashed stock, you should be fine just rebooting.
Its stuck on the boot screen. I tried just rebooting, then wiping/factory reset, then both wipes...reinstalled stock a few times and nothing worked each time. I'm suck on the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 screen
:-\...when I go into recovery, I get a ton of red messages/errors
I'm gonna try somethig other than stock firmware see if that helps.
edit Ok so I rooted the phone and it got past the first boot screen and now appears to be stuck on the "animated S" boot screen...progress!!

Ok everything back to somewhat normal. Stock ROM didn't work but 2.3.6 did, so I'm on that. Now do I wanna go back to CM is the question...
Either way, thanks again for all the replies and helping me out with this. Greatly appreciated!

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.

[Q] Odd Odin issue!!

I tried installing the new JB leaked firmware via Odin, and even though I get the green PASS, it reboots into my existing wanam rom.
Does anyone know why this is not working for me? Any other suggestions?
See screen shot...
Try an earlier version of Odin maybe ? (That's a real strange one, btw).

Yes I actually used Odin 1.85 version and got the same result.
The only thing I can think of is to try to flash to a generic stock ICS firmware and then try again, but there is no guarantee that it will work either.
Others on custom roms seem to not have an issue flashing to the new JB leaked firmware, so I really don't know what to do...
did you try clean cache, dalvik cache and a factory reset, it may reboot into jb rom.

No I haven't as yet, I did think about factory resetting before I flashed via Odin, but didn't really want to factory reset unless I was sure JB would work as I like how my phone is set up now.
But I'm at the stage now where I might try factory resetting anyway, I was just waiting for a CWM flashable version to be upped.
How important do you think it is to clean cache, dalvik cache?
I did clean cache, dalvik cache once before in CWM and got the sim locked error, which I finally fixed using the simunlock app, very frustrating for so long, so I'm very reluctant to ever clean cache, dalvik cache in CWM ever again...

[Q] Bootlooping - need quick advice

Updgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 via Kies. Un-rooted, stock SGH-I777. Stuck in bootloop now at AT&T logo. I already did the wipe data cache in recovery mode with no luck so it leaves me to factory reset as my next option. I've spent several hours browsing through the forum already. Do any of the below allow me to keep data?
1) Use Odin and stock firmware - downloaded the UCMD8 tar file
2) Root, install kernel w/ CWM to use backup functionality. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894)
Just need a point in the direction I need to go, I'll handle the rest.
If the result is all the same (i.e. data loss), I'll use this issue as an opportunity to put a custom ROM on my phone.
Thanks!
Yes, most likely a wipe data/factory reset performed in recovery would correct the problem, but you will lose some system data. Which specific things are you worried about losing? You won't lose your photos, or any data from applications installed from the play store.
You are going to have to perform a wipe data/factory reset to use odin and the stock UCMD8 firmware. In fact, at this point it is probably the only way out.
U could try to re Odin the firmware first. Not sure where ya got it from, but it should be a no wipe. But if that doesn't solve ur problem, then ya have a few options--- Odin a custom kernel (like AJK), and then u could Mount usb storage through recovery and backup ur stuff to ur pc. Then try to see if it will boot up without looping. If it still loops then u need to go back into recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Reboot. And it should be good. Or if ya don't care about ur data, then just reboot to recovery and wipe data and reboot.

mostly just concerned with losing SMS but i have a backup from a few weeks ago so im not out much.
thanks for the answers! I guess i'll just have to make the plunge on one of the options.

A problem with all JB 4.3 ROM I've tried

Hi, all!
I have that annoying problem with all the 4.3 ROM I've tried with no exception. Everything is fine until the first reboot. Then it's stuck on the first Galaxy SIII boot logo. I'm using TWRP - the latest version if it matters.
I always wipe everything first.
Please give more details on how you flash it.

If you did all required wipes and followed the instructions did you try a different recovery? I read in the SB thread for example of people having issues with TWRP
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
I am sorry for the wrong section. May I ask some to move it to Q&A?
I always wipe data, cash, dalvik cash, system. Then install the ROM and gapps...
After the restart I set up the google account and etc. And after the first restart the phone freezes. That's all.
I'll try with different recovery.
PS. I've just tried CWM recovery 6.0.3.3. and Omega AOSP v9. Still the same.
Try cwm 6.0.3.6 and after you install the rom and after its set up go to recovery and factory reset

That's strange, I run Philz recovery and every 4.3 flash till now went through without issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I tried all the recoveries I could find. Including Philz. Still the same.
And something else strange. I installed CWM, CWM, touch and Philz and with them I made backups. After restoration of the backup the phone freezes. I also tried to install Omega 49 and the installation goes OK, but freezes before the first start-up.
The only solution was to install manually TWRP (Odin) to restore some of my old backups. I'm beginning to think that there is something wrong with my phone. It's black if it is important.
Suggest total wipe of phone install your stock rom and test
Hi,
I just want to say I'm also having the same problem.
Started using TWRP with full wipe, same issue on 4.3 and no issues on 4.2.
On latest CWM same problem and 4.2 wont even pass the first boot on Samsung logo.
Also had to use Odin to get back on TWRP and flash a 4.2 rom again.
Anyway there is one more thing I would like to try but haven't had the chance to do so, is installing the latest modem and ril. But I'm kind skeptic about that currently because there is also some risks and my S3 is my daily driver.
Don't change the ril on any custom as you stand a big chance of breaking the calls and Tex's. Modem yes but not ril. Do change to cwm and retry.

Thanks for the info, I was planning to read more about it before I would make an attempt. BTW already tried CWM that only made things worse, couldn't flash any rom without getting stuck on samsung screen.

You are doing a full wipe?. System and data is the main thing to wipe not just factory reset. So go into mounts and storage and format data,system and cache there then flash the rom /gapps.

Start fresh and flash stock with Odin then try again after you root and install cwm.

Tried to go stock and flashed a 4.3 rom again that fixed my problem. =)

I'll try it too. And one stupid question. Where do I find a stock ROM? I never did it before

Thank you!
But nothing helped. I flashed a stock ROM, with Odin. First I tried with TWRP, and the second time (again after flashing stock) with CWM recovery. I tried two 4.3 ROMs. They both can't boot after the first reboot.
