Galaxy S2 urgent problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First off all sory on my bad English.
Few hours ago I did factory reset on mentioned phone. I choose to format external memory ( in phone ) and phone switched off. When turned on it showed some text in German ( phone from austrian network ) and samsung logo appeared. Since that colors run trought logo and nothing happening. Phone is rooted with syiah kernel, on stock rom. What to do???

huh I don't understand the problem.
do you want to change the language or a bug in de logo.
if the language its simple just in settings
if its something glitchy (screen, boot or the logo)
try to go back to stock with stock kernel.
can you take a picture? :highfive:

Phone wont boot up. Just logo changing colors.

How long have you left it running? If you do a complete factory reset, the phone has to rebuild the dalvik cache, which, as there is loads of crap on stock ROMs, can take quite a while. Leave it running on the boot screen for 5 minutes or so, and see what happens.

I left it for 2 hours

Normally when doing a factory reset your phone should boot into recovery, perform the wipe and boot the system again. Maybe something went wrong during this process and you ended up with a corrupt data partition. Try booting into recovery by hand (volume up + home + power button) and perform a data wipe there. Reboot again and see if it's booting again.

HELP, my S3 keeps rebooting after startup, cant wipe data/factory reset from CWM also

Hi,
Please give me some help guys,
After installing an app from a torrent (dont know if its related but it happened after installing and opening it) my phone keeps restarting every time, it boots up normally but after just about 5 seconds in the home screen it reboots again. I need to pull out battery to get it stop rebooting.
I've entered in CWM, but cant wipe data/factory reset, when I choose that option it appears "wipping /data" and it just reboots again. I cant also format /data from advanced options. Also, when /data is mounted I cant unmount it also from advanced options. Can wipe cache and dalvik cache but not data. Cant use the phone!
I have Omega v36 with superSU and CWM touch in it. How can I solve this?
Happened to me once also. Idk which app you installed but I had installed privacy guard and it resulted in a boot loop. The 5 seconds it gives you at start, try to go in settings then applications and uninstall the app which caused this. Took 15 minutes of me trying and I lucked out and uninstalled it. Phone been fine after that

I've tried, but as soon as I hit the "unninstall" the phone reboots. I guess trying to interact with something in /data makes it reboot.
App + torrent = probable malware .
Flash stock rom via Odin is the first step .

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3
Try safe mode.
Safe mode will boot only stock apps, apps which were installed by ROM.

Well, things have gone worst, i've entered in safe mode and choose factory reset from settings, now the phone keeps rebooting, show the green robot of factory reset for 2 seconds and then reboots again. Now cant even get in the samsung logo neither in recovery or download mode.
Now, is there a solution for this? Have removed the battery for about 5 minuts but it stays the same.

I am having this same problem with my ACE 3 Duos, and it is DRIVING ME NUTS!
I searched all over the internet
- It starts up normally then reboots within 2 - 4 seconds
- I managed to let it start on SAFE MODE it didn't work! still rebooting!
- I wiped the cache and it didn't work
- I am leaving the Factory Reset as a last option ((cause I didn't back up my data and I have bad experience with back ups))
- much important info on my phone ((about my work)) and don't wanna lose that
- I think I can save it cause it is booting normally then something goes wrong
HELP!

Is my phone bricked?

I have the Huawei Ascend Mate (the new 6.1" smartphone that just came out in China)
I was trying to install a rooted ROM... well when it rebooted my phone it was stuck at the logo screen for like 15 minutes so I pulled the plug. Now the phone is in a continuous boot and it won't start up!
I can boot into Recovery Mode, but the phone restarts every 10 seconds with NO CONTROL over this time limit!
I downloaded the dload/UPDATE.app and put it on my sd card (this is the original ROM from Huawei's site) and it will start to do it's thing, but 10 seconds isn't enough to install a ROM.
Any ideas on how to get this 10 second reboot time limit off?
I'd appreciate anyone's help! I just dropped almost $600 on this phone and I feel like it's going to be a VERY expensive paperweight now
Can I do anything with boot.img, cust.img, system.img, etc? I have these files but not sure what I can do with them.
I didnt know that time limit
Can you do wipe data and cache and reboot
The stuck in logo or many times showing the logo reapeating its bootloop
Try wipe data and cache then reboot?

I've tried both! I can wipe cache fast enough, but that doesn't do anything.
When I try to do factory reset, or try to install the manufacture's ROM via their "UPDATE.app" file, my phone will only stay on for about 10 seconds before rebooting! I have no way of stopping my phone from rebooting.

[Q] Stuck at boot after upgrade Revolution HD

Hey guys,
I just upgraded to Revolution HD 32.0 (coming from 31.0).
Here's what i did.
Boot into recovery.
Clear cache+dalvic-cache.
Install zip from sd-card (select revolution hd 32.0)
Started Aroma installer, left everything pretty much default, just removed some of the samsung junk.
After the install was finished i cleared the cache again and rebooted the device.
It started with the start up logo and after a minute or so "Android upgrading..." with the applications counting.
After that it shows "Finishing boot"
Then nothing, it stays at that for like 5 minutes, then reboots and stays stuck at the samsung logo.
So i decided to boot into recovery, whipe caches and fix permissions and reboot again.
Same thing happened as before.
So i wanted to do a full clean install of the rom, wiping all userdata.
Surprise! Can't get into recovery or download mode anymore.
Took out battery for a few minutes and put it back in.
Still can't access download mode or recovery with vol+menu+pwr...
Does anyone know what's going on, or better, how i can possibly fix this?
I have no idea how to access my device now to make changes...
Thanks a lot!
If you can't get into bootloader with vol down, home and power button then you have a brick, service centre repair required.
Worth trying a USB repair jig to get download before paying for a repair .

Samsung Galaxy S2 not booting

I rooted my phone without any trouble for months, and its been working just fine, until now! Then, I had to do a factory reset. The normal procedure, SETTINGS> PRIVACY> factory reset. The phone then never got past the boot logo. It starts to load, and just gets stuck at the Samsung logo, and nothing else. there's two lights glowing from the capacitive buttons, and that's all. I'm on 4.1.2 JB stock rom. Later, I tried to enter recovery mode, and did a wipe, and cleaned cache partition also. AND, the phone just sprung to life, the whole first time set up thing. I started filling in stuff and the phone just shut down again, and if I tried to reboot again, it doesn't get past boot logo. But if I wipe n do it, it happens but shuts down immediately Please help!!

Boot into download mode, get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin (How ? Thread stickied near top of Q&A).

Ever see a factory data reset not wipe a device?

My mom has this old Galaxy Tab 3 that started randomly rebboting on her. She asked me to look at it.
When you turn it on it boots up to the home screen, and after about 10 seconds it reboots. I booted the tablet into safe mode thinking it's an app she installed. Safe mode lasted a little longer maybe 30 seconds before it rebooted. So I booted into recovery mode, and wiped the cache, and rebooted back into safe mode. Still rebooted after 30 seconds or so. So now I tried wiping the tablet, let's start fresh. First I tried erasing it from the settings menu when the tablet is running. No luck will not erase. So now I tried to wipe it using recovery mode. Recovery mode mode claims facotey reset successful. I rebooted the tablet and my mom's email is still set up. So I went back into recovery mode and wiped the tablet doing a full factory reset 3 times in a row before rebooting and EVERYTHING is still there. Has anyone ever seen this before? Is this a problem with the flash memory perhaps? Maybe the main board? Any advice on what's going on or how to erase this would be appreciated.
Weird

This is very weird.So,Let me get this straight.You tried to wipe the tablet and it doesn't wipe.Well,when In recovery mode the recovery doesn't care if there is a loop a symlink or anything that will have any other function other than to exist.It will remove it without a problem.I would say Try doing it from custom recovery otherwise it's not-software relatef.

I've tried in the stock recovery mode whenre I hold the power, volume up button, and home buttons. When you say custom recovery is this like a TWRP recovery?
