I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 That i have rooted and still running the stock rom vers. 4.0.4. Everything runs fine except the ability to restart or shutdown the phone.For some reason it gets stuck on the pink goodbye screen. Also i have tried to flash different roms only to get a boot loop. The only way i can get the phone to start is to restore a old backup. Sorry for being such a noob.thanks for any help!

Ouch... failed to boot 2 errors are from trying to downgrade. ??? You might get lucky and flash a SBf using RSd.

This is exactly why ALL Android phones should come with Bootloaders unlocked. It's such a fail safe for end users to fix their phones.
YEAH I know companies don't like users flashing ROMS, but this is Android. If companies have an issue with it, then don't make Android phones. Samsung obviously doesn't have an issue with that.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE MY ATRIX!, but it still blows that we needed to do all the end user work on our time to make this phone great...

His original problem was simple to solve. Gingerblur used a bootstrap apk to boot into cwm (this is talking before we even had official gingerbread like a year ago). That bootstrapped version of cwm wouldnt allow him to flash anything new. All he would've had to do was flash a version of cwm with rom manager and boot into recovery. (Probably should wipe as well). U guys mucked him up good.
Pretty sure his phone was mucked up from the get go. He had err 2 since I replied...
Once you have errors like this you must sbf flash the latest 2.3.4?? Pudding firmware

I had my phone unlocked and rooted cleanrom 3.5 I downloaded triangle away because I was told it would fix allshare cast and that I needed a zero count so I bought the app and ran it ...Big mistake I lost trwp in the process and somehow got stuck in a bootloop so I did adams unroot method and went back to stock i605 vralljb great right ? Well no because in the process of when I went back to stock I ended up receiving the garbage ota vrall4 and I was having a hella time re rooting so I made a huge mistake I tried to use odin with bootloader locked to get back to I 605 vralljb it wont do it so now my phone goes through the process in odin but when it gets to recovery it fails halfway through the download ...When I turn my phone on it says Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue .Please select recovery mode in Kies n try again....WTF do I do ?

Except there is no limit it's just a number and you don't trip or flashing in recovery. It only gets tripped by flashing non official Samsung firmware in Odin so I doubt his is higher then 1

So I rooted my S4 and all was good (Not my first rodeo)
I was running a Stock Deodexed ROM and I flashed a mod to change the toggles to blue. Still... all was good, but
then I decided to start fresh and clean up a bit. So I formated the device, wiped caches, data reset, yadda ya...
Flashed a different Stock Deodex and everything still seemed fine. I tried flashing the blue toggle mod and then got stuck on boot. Pulled battery and still nothing. Wiped all data again and flashed the ROM again without doing the toggle mod. Ever since then, no matter what ROM I'm on or have any mods, if I reboot I get stuck at boot screen. The only way to get past this is to wipe EVERYTHING again and start over. However... Hot/Quick/Shell reboot doesn't lock up on me.
So basically I'm at a point with my S4 that makes it impossible to flash anything and be able to boot. I even have to wipe everything before I can do a successful restore.
I'm using TWRP 2.5.0.2 and currently on my latest backup of cleanrom 1.3
Any ideas are greatly appreciated and welcomed. Thanks community!

I had your issue happen to me last week. I tried everything to fix it and nothing worked. I ended up flashing back to stock. Started flashing again using TWRP with no problems.
Here is where I got info to go back to stock. Go to android development and scroll down to (Guide) No-wipe factory image by open1your1eyes and follow as instructed. Happy flashing bud!

Whelp... I got that other recovery on there, but now I can't boot or anything. No ROM works
I think I tried everything, but it looks like I'll need to get Odin involved and go from there. Its too bad that the cwm recovery can't restore a twrp backup. This sucks. Ugh. First world problems... Anyone got a link for the stock image or whatever I need to push via Odin? Ideas?
Thanks again for your help guys. I do appreciate it and know I'll get up and running again soon.

From DarkMenace's signature, quite a nice resource he has composed. I ran into a similar situation with TWRP and ClearnRom 1.3 last night, ended up using Odin to push the "SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5.gz" in that link. Went back to bone stock, but it's nice to know there is a fallback incase something ever goes awry.

Yes, but there are root files there also.
So then what? Or do I just use Odin to do the whole kernel flashing thing again to gain root? Sorry to sound so noobish, just don't wanna go through this again. Lol
Should I just maybe try that VRUAMDK no wipe .tar?

You use Odin. You can use either file.

Yeah I know I use Odin. I guess I should have worded that better.
If I push the .tar you mentioned, I lose root, but some root files will still be there. So my question is... What files and what can I do with them? Or do I just start the whole root process over again as in the first place with those two modified kernels?
The other "no data wipe .tar" file you push with Odin as well, but would you retain root? If so... I would prefer the no wipe .tar, but you know better than me and I greatly appreciate your help and guidance. If the first .tar file is the better way to go and start all over, that's what I'll do. Its almost done downloading anyways, but was just curious about the no wipe and if ya knew anything more about it. I owe you man!
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda premium
Both files will remove root. You would need to reflash with the kernel files.

Hi guys, i'm trying to restore my S3 to stock so I can sell it, however after trying to use Odin around 5 times to install stock frimware, I either end up in a boot loop or constant boot-up. I've tried 3 different versions of Odin and still no luck. It passes every time.
Any idea's anyone? I did notice I only ever have one file to put into Odin, which is a PDA compatible file, none of the others. I'm not sure if this is just due to bad downloads or what.
Any ideas anyone?
